I was really looking forward to my year end break. I didn't have a long break this year, that's why. I have a long list of things to do and most were outdoors but the weather is not cooperating. It's been raining on and off for almost two weeks now. Although, I have so many things to do indoors... the weather doesn't help really. It just makes me all the more to be lazy. But of course, shopping...

Choreographed Christmas Lights
After The Tatapilla's Christmas Party, we drove around the neighbourhood to have a look at the Christmas Lights displays. We were not disappointed after a couple of bends and turns. We were treated to a magnificent display. It was my first time to see a choreographed lights intune with the music...

Company Christmas Party
Our company christmas party was last Friday. It was in the Bowls club. I really enjoyed it and so everyone. We enjoyed sumptous food and good and fun company. Everyone had a ball, I reckon. Downside, I forgot my car key in the office in my notebook bag (not one of those netbooks). *****It's All...

Petrol Prices
Since owning a car (which is quite long enough), I have been very conscious of the fuel prices. I only fill-up my car when necessary and when the fuel prices are down. I also monitor the days when the prices are down and time my purchase. With my affiliations with the rewards card, I also can get 8 cents discount these days. It's not much as my car fuel tank can only accommodate up to about 40...
Surprising
maybe or maybe not. For somebody who loves reading, I don't own a bookmark. I have desired to own one and every time I am at the bookshop, I always checked them but I haven't taken a step to buying them. I am not sure why. I have always wanted an antique style bookmark but where on earth can I get...

Quiet Time
soon... I'm posting my last post for the hour that is. I have several opportunities to do but they will be due in the next couple of days, so no hurry. I plan to have some quiet time soon. Maybe curl up with some book with old english characters that I have loved.My little boy has symptoms of flu but still perky, not to worry about. I gave him panadol and all is well. Have updated myself with...
Wishing
That I can have a Christmas decorations such as these, a miniature maybe? But I know it is a long shot. I can't even put up a wreath. It's just too much work to do but I can admire and wish and dream as well. Maybe, this year we'll just have to visit houses and places with pretty deco instead of...

Lethargic
That's what I'm feeling most of the times these days. It seems I only have the energy to go to work, eat and tend to Jens then I'll be bushed. At 9PM, I would be getting ready to sleep. Juvenile, isn't it. You would think, I have one of those jobs retail, but I simply sit the whole day and figure things out. I think, it's more tiresome than doing manual labour. I can't seem to stop working even...
Well Behaved
When I hear parents saying that they had a hard time with their kids keeping them amuse, I always wonder how hard could it be. And when I see kids playing up when travelling, I always feel for the parents, not because I have been through it but because, I am just thankful that I am not put through it. You see, The Tatapilla is just the best kid there is. Sure he throws tantrums but not the types...

Food Fix
It was a successful day for us at the Mabuhay Festival. My friends and I met there, Mcj was very busy to come with us. Jens tag along (as he didn't have a choice anyway). The day started well for us despite some hassles on the public transport.We went there mainly for the food and of course to have a glimpse of how many Filipinos are there in Brissie. Well, there are heaps.On to the food. I bought...

The Race That Stops the Nation
It’s an understatement as of the moment although I don’t want to feel like I’m getting under because of so many things to do. You see, we are moving house. It’s been a work in progress for almost 3 weeks now. We didn’t hire a mover, just a big truck to move heavy items. We’re moving most of the stuff ourselves using the van and trailers. Now, my job is on the un-packing and sorting side. Although,...

All The Way
This song has been in my Iphone for almost3 months now - the first on the list actually but I didn't really like it. One day, while on the train I really "listen" to this song and I thought to myself, I can listen to the voice of this man and he can lull me to sleep. Little did I know that it's Frank Sinatra. And how naive I was that I didn't know that he is dead. Anyway, I love his voice in this...
Our Saturday Morning
I should be flat out doing household chores today because finally for almost 3 weeks, the sun is out on a weekend. But I wasn't although, I have done some washing. As planned, The Tatapilla and I went to the bank to do his monthly deposit to his bank account and did some retail therapy. As to retail therapy, I really didn't buy the whole shops but we have been everywhere. Our first on the list...

Less Than 100 Days
It's Christmas time! My favourite day of the year for several reasons - the birth of our Saviour, the festivities, the commercialism that I reckon I would be swayed this year, holidays, the big break. Oh well, plus the putting up of fancy blings around the house and outdoor Christmas decorations....
Bling-y Doll
This doll is the most expensive of the Barbie Doll range donning a 3 carat pink diamond. A whopping 510,000, USD I suppose. It is for auction to raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The designer of the necklace and gown is from Sydney, Australia. Whoever will buy this doll will...

Car Costs
These days, car costs take a heap chunk of the hip pocket budget. For some, it is up there next to house mortgage. But it doesn’t have to be like that all the time. There are many ways on how to reduce cost. Got these tips from news.com.au. 1. Know the cycle. This is about the fuel price. The fuel price used to be on Tuesday, then was shifted for about a couple of weeks on Saturday and now...

Thankful
Mcj and I are celebrating our birthday this month. It's a happy month for us. I have so many wishes for material gifts (of course) but I am just thankful that we are all healthy and happy. We haven't got any serial illness that plague us. Every now and then we get cold and flu but nothing to be really so concerned of. At least, in Mcj's age he wasn't exposed to asbestos so Mesothelioma is not...

Aussie Dollars Rising
The aussie dollar is rising against the green backs. And as the news proliferating in tv and print, it’s the perfect time to travel overseas and go online shopping. There’s only a few cents difference in us and aussie dollars and the prices of the goods overseas are way cheaper. I’m really tempted.Yesterday, I’ve been browsing a women store site and how I wish I can figure out how does the shopping...

Quiet Time
I woke up early today to a very quiet house. I know it's not unusual but what's different is I am not in a hurry to go somewhere i.e. work. I wake up early on weekdays to get ready to work and I don't get to savour the quiet and the moment of moving around the house alone. Plus, I was able to enjoy my coffee albeit infront of a computer. I have blogging to catch up before I get drowned with my...

Sometimes it is not what you know but who you know to be successful.
Normal 0 Many factors can affect a man’s ability to please his partner and the greater the man’s desire to not disappoint them, the more likelihood that problems will manifest themselves contrary to those most desired. Call it the mirror of expectations or just the fear of failure, but the devastating effect it has on his libido can be overwhelming for the relationship. Premature ejaculation...

Techie Issues
Last week, my gmail account was hacked. It gave me such a big fright as all my blogs were deleted. I have to change my password. That same week, I tried to login to my bank account and it required me a security code – and I was told today that it is not a normal procedure. Only happened for new accounts and if there are some malicious movements in my account.Today, my windows explorer kept on...

Sat 9 - Half the Man
1. Do you feel that you are essentially the same person that your were ten years ago?No. I have changed and I haven't really sat down and examine what are those aspects. I just think that it's for the better and hope that people I love think the same way as I do. 2. Is there something that you have...

Stay Here Forever
Singer Jewel on the red carpet at the 2010 Emmy AwardsI’ve heard of her songs before and it sort of left a print in my mind. Then, I heard her again in Men in Trees. I didn’t know then that it was her until I read recently that she had a quest appearance. Then, I heard her song again in the movie...

Can't Get Over With
I read today this quote of Brad Pitt talking about Jennifer Aniston when they were still married.“My wife loves jewellery, and I love my wife. She’s always my inspiration. I started doing this because I wanted to make something special for her.”Well, this just makes me feel sad now that they are divorced....

What the heck!
I'm not into contest in blogging, mainly because I haven't got so much time in my hands. Being a working Mum makes you that. Anyway, what makes this one special? Because, I'm now free - finished cooking dinner and all that stuff that needs to be done before night time, it doesn't mean that there's no...
Non-fiction
I've been reading this book for a week and finally, I finished it last night. I normally read it on the train but I thought I have to finish it - it's thrilling and just anti-climactic if I have to stop. So I forgo watching the 2nd half of the footy to finish it. When I read the synopsis at the back...

Who is He?
And why do I like him a lot after seeing him in the movie Confession of a Shopaholic? Well, he’s not really cute as in the type of a guy that I would normally say, good looking or superbly attractive. But I like his accent. Boy! And the fact that he has a rugged look in him in the movie (read: messy,...

Books I Love to Read
This is the last book that I've read of the author Susan Elizabeth Phillips. It's a rom-com book but not like the others. What set all her books apart are the building up of characters, the pace and spontaneity. When I read her books, I feel that I can relate to every character. Everyone is a lead...
Digging Up
I'm in my usual curious and voyeur self again. I just posted about the biggest pair in Hollywood and got curious of the personal life of Meg Ryan that I have to dig it up.Well, I found out that he was married to Dennis Quaid and had a relationship with Russel Crowe. She has two children, one her own...
Biggest Pairings
I'm the kind of person who will watch a crappy movie over a good one if I know the actors in the first one. Actors always influence my choice of movies - maybe, because I'm a loyal fan. Or it could be something like I can relate them to their movies that I've seen. Whatever. With the showing of...

La Familia
Everyone has been pretty busy in my family. Mcj has been working night shifts most of the time although, it's not per se. He just wants to finish his task - sorting out stuff in the workshop that has been left un-attented for several years. That's a good thing.The Little Boy is a big guy now. Pretty busy and active. And I have to be the same lest, he'll just eat when he's bored. Good thing he...
On The Work Front
It's been pretty quite at work lately. Did a few training here and there and some customisation but I mostly focused on the testing. I'm using a new machine now with Windows 7 which at first I don't really appreciate. But eventually, liked. I also have Office 2007 which for the same reason, I detest at first. Heck, I can't find my favourite buttons. It was really boggling as I have to ask my...
