You smell delightful with more citrus, floral, fruity, green, and aromatic scents. Especially if they are more on the simple side.
A few classic perfumes that match your body chemistry are CK One, D&G L’Imperatrice, and True Religion Hippie Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13986405.post-21687989841212107082017-11-21T08:39:00.002+10:002017-11-21T08:39:51.529+10:00Saying Goodbye to Spring

Had quite and nice dinner and a few drinks for Mcj. The highlight of the day is the last minute card that the Tatapilla made for us. It made the day much sweeter.

With of up to 30 km/h wind on a spring day, pollen are aplenty.
There is a 24 hour fire ban due to dry weather.
Our office building is on one of the highest area, walking on the corridor will get you blown away.
My desk is next to the window/wall and I can hear the wind howling.

AlmostI have reclaimed my office at home since the Tatapilla has moved his stuff to his own room. This freed-up a lot of space in our common area as I have moved some of the stuff to the office, some to the bedroom and some I have chucked or given away. Plus, the racing track that the Tatapilla has, has been packed up as it was more of a nuisance than an entertainment.

With the recent changes in our household, we have been playing chess at the house. Well, it's really a term from my MIL where we re-arrange furniture and fixture around the house.
One of our rooms have been freed recently when my father-in-law moved to a home when his health has really declined. We have no guest room so yes, the sensible thing would be to turn it into one.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13986405.post-19652389141553847012016-03-19T19:54:00.001+10:002016-03-19T19:54:17.697+10:00Booked
Since we came back from our five-week overseas trip, I have not had any day off from work. I'm sure you understand why. I am out of annual leave. My five-week stunt really exhausted my annual leave.
Yet, we have accrued points with our timeshare club and they have to booked if not used before this month is over. And so we did.
So it's all booked now, Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13986405.post-72681303248994767332016-02-01T12:35:00.003+10:002016-02-01T12:36:14.096+10:00First Day of the Month
A pinch and punch for the first day of the month. Another month in the new year. Sound cliché but time really flies.
There are so many things to be thankful for last month, so
here’s a few:
Time to try and cook new recipes.
For being a conscious shopper.
Sticking to budget (so no guitar pro for me).
Time to sort and organise the Tatapilla’s
clothes, toiletries Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13986405.post-46549572126022316852015-11-15T11:05:00.001+10:002015-11-15T11:05:10.668+10:00Early Start for UsWe are flying via Sydney to get to Manila. These days, there are no direct flights from Brisbane to Manila anymore.

Mcj told me that it is short for The Brothers Gibbs, as Aussies are known for shortening or giving things nickname. But really, it was not an Aussie who gave Beegees their name. It was Bill Gates and he was also responsible for launching their career.
