You've liberated yourself from most worries and problems.And even if something does start to clutter your mind, you're easily able to let it go.How Cluttered is Your Mind?Sooo true!

Gifts from Above

Charities are always heaven sent. There are people with very big heart that put up institution to help others. There are many institutions out there that you could imagine.And Car Angel is just among the many. It uses car and other donations to make kids and teens videos. See this one, its for Christmas and I'm sure kids would love to see this. I wish our little Man is big enough now to appreciate...

Inundated

How was your Christmas everyone? I hope you had fun. Ours was inundated. Inundated of cylons, humans living in spaceships and somebody living in Caprica City. If you've watched Battle Star Galactica, you know who and what I mean. Since, we bought MCJ's Christmas present, we've been watching it every night until last and I know until we finished the whole pack. He didn't spare Christmas day. I...

Letting Go

MCJ has an old car that had been running two years ago, after an engine overhaul. Then it broke down and another overhaul on something need be done. He was planning on doing it because this car for some reason has a sentimental value to him. But he hasn't got the time to do it just yet. The car looks vintage as it is a bit long compared to the new models and it doesn't have car spoilers (one at the...

Booze to Snooze!

I am not really a drinker but I would like to have a sip of wine every now and then. And this season is a perfect time to be merry and wine for some is very staple.We have fairly abundant supply this year. MCJ bought one bottle of sparkling, we receive one from in-laws and the real estate agent gave us a big bottle of zhiraz. MCJ drinks burbon so some could just really be for me but the sad fact...

Christmas Eve Lunch

We just got back from lunch with SIL. It has been a sort of family tradition to have lunch or dinner with them - we've been going for 3 years in a row. It was planned that MCJ would come with us, he'll be the driver supposedly but things get caught up and changed and he is stuck at work. We came with...

Fish in the Water

Jens take the water like fish. The only time that I remember that he whinge on his bath was the first time he had at the hospital.He likes the water soo much that when even when he is whiney and I ran the water in the tap, he would stop being cranky and listen to the sound of flowing water. Look at...

Christmas Shopping

Finally!The shops were open until Midnight last Thursday, so we went to shop. We went there late but just intime for dinner, so we did. I wasn't finished picking up stuff that I want in one store and MCJ told me that his left leg feels numb, he needs to sit. So off we went out to sit and for him to...

Something for Him

I bought MCJ a watch (just a cheapo one) last year for our wedding anniversary. Just like the one that he had, it didn't last long - not really totally broken but the strap snapped. Now, he's got no watch.I've been thinking of what will I give him this Christmas. I reckon he doesn't need anymore clothes but I know one thing that he will like, a Battle Star Gallactica complete series DVD. But seeing...

The Careless Me!

Have I mentioned that I'm careless? I mean, I can be OC but at times, just place things (such as jewelry) out of their place even those that are important and well, dear but not as dear as those that are designer inspired jewelry. I don't normally wear my rings around the house especially doing the dishes and stuff where they can get wet or dirty, just when going out. One day, I prepared some food...

Late

We haven't done our Christmas shopping yet. It's not that we want to join the cramming and mad crowd by leaving it too late but we just haven't got the time. I mean, MCJ hasn't got the time, and I don't know how to drive - so I'm stuck and at his mercy.Normally, he can be a slack on weekends but the previous was one of the exceptions. He had been helping the sparkies digging trenchies for the underground...

Have you got the best?

When watching telly during daytime, you're prompted of endless ads - most are incorporated in the talk show and sometimes, I thought it still is part of the show. One of which is life insurance. I reckon this practice though sometimes annoy the viewers, actually help those who are thinking of getting insurance or those that will renew theirs. It gives people the idea that there are affordable life...

Birds In the Sky

Birds were hanging out in our place twice a day for food. Jens and I were always sitting outside on a warm afternoon when the birds hang out and my little boy loves to watch them and the sound they make.And look here. He was straining his neck looking up to see the birds on the cable (he looks sleepy...

The Coolest Christmas in 5 Years?

According to the news, if the weather prediction is right.. this Christmas will be the coolest one in 5 (or is it 7?) years. Are you thinking of below zero degree temperature? Sometimes, I wish - actually a white Christmas, but nah! Christmas in down under is summer time. The coolest that the weather bureau was saying is around 28 degrees celcius. The coolest, huh! For somebody who grew up in...

Musings of a Proud Mum

I was reading a Mummy diary in Practical Parenting mag while eating my lunch. Her bub is 5 months old and she was telling his milestones and I told myself, hey, Jen's can do that before he turned 5 months, blah blah blah.I'm not bragging because Jens in his early days was branded a "little boy". Not...

A Mini Baby Massage

I know that massage helps baby relax and unwind. I've been giving this treat to our little boy but I don't really know the tricks in this indulgence. I am also not consistent.Then I read in the magazine the pluses of giving baby massages, which convince me to be religious in doing so to our Bub. I really didn't ask myself, why do I need to read it somewhere before doing so but I just realize now that...

Heaps of Ideas

I was given an opportunity in my pro-blogging that I was not familiar of lest I don't know how to pronounce. :) So I asked MCJ about it, speaking it incorrectly and he got heaps of ideas about tonneau cover. The first thing he said about it was you can found it in the ute (pick-up truck for some) and we don't have a ute so that explains my lack of idea. I thought, it might be some sort of tarpauline...

More Spams

Apart from the internet, I found other ways to do home shopping - from the junk mails and catalogues dropped by our mailboxes as well as the spam fax messages, the latter I don't like though because it cost us paper and ink. Plus, if the junk fax message caused an error some important fax messages can't get through. Arrggggg! There have been spamming companies that I've rang to stop sending us...

This girl spent their recent weekend on Las Vegas. I'm happy for her. She said in her email, she had been bugging (sorry for the term ,girl) her husband to go there but then he didn't want to and only just last week that she had convinced him. Good on her!

Smurf in the Backyard

One warm afternoon, went out the backyard to have a breath of fresh air. The little boy doesn't want to feel little so Mummy placed his "bumbo" on a delapidated backyard chair. Then it started to drizzle, "hurry up inside for my beanie Mum". "Birds are twitting, wanting their food. I look up the sky,...

The Santa 'Clause'

I didn't knew then that Tim Allen is a comedian, heck I don't even know who Tim Allen was. I think, the first time that his name registered to my mind was when I saw him in Dame Edna's show. But still I don't know what are the movies that he starred.Then, I saw the movie Christmas with the Kranks and I found it hilarious. I'm the kind who is less interested with movies with stars that I don't know,...

It was a very attractive offer - not so dear, I reckon compared to the prices of baby books that I saw in some stores....

New Sleeping Position

Since birth, Baby Ian used to sleep like this but recently, he had been sleeping on different positions. He would sometimes sleep on his side, ready to roll-over. Yeah, when he's alone in the room when he wakes up, tendency is to roll-over - either looking for food or he wants to play.This was the latest....
