This 2012

By Ers   December 31, 2011 // 1 comment
coming year that is. It's not New Year yet. I wish everyone will have a blessed and productive year and get to achieve their goals. Those who still adhere to resolution, hopefully they are written on stones and done.

I've long given up on resolution, so I just live day by day as the Lord blesses us.

Good health is always wished for. Peace on earth has become a cliche, but still, it's not bad to hope about it. And hopefully, people under the substance will make use of addiction treatment centers and not come back there ever.

Have a wonderful 2012 everyone!

Christmas 2011

By Ers   December 31, 2011 // No comments
I sure miss Christmas in the Philippines especially my family. The atmosphere and the festivities are just different from what I have seen in this place I have called home now so far. But as the years go past, I get accustomed to the way Mcj's family celebrate Christmas. I actually appreciate it. The quiteness.

So this year, we were invited to Christmas lunch by Mcj's uncle so the whole family was carted to their place. It was a sort of reunion. It was a small affair - the hosts don't have to go through discectomy after the event. Everyone had a little bit fun, not stressful.

Organising & Projects

By Ers   December 20, 2011 // No comments
I could just be speculating or procrastinating but I have been into home organising mode for quite sometime now. In my spare time, I mostly surf for tips and products that are of interest. I have so many ideas after looking at those - they are all stumbling over each other. But I know that just like any other projects, it has to be tackled one at a time so it doesn't get so overwhelming.

There are so many projects that I want to get started on to. On top of that, our car insurance is about to expire and I believe that our house contents is about to be the be the same. It's time to shop for Wholesale Insurance. It's also time to do some crafts in the coming break. Can't wait. I hope I will have as much time as I imagine I would have.

What's On?

Many. It's December and I reckon the busiest month of the year on the home front and family department. It could be the same at work if you count Christmas parties and not taking day off and be part of th skeleton staff, which I will be.

It is a much busier month for us this year, what with the moving to a new place and coming back from a long holiday. Now is the perfect time to enjoy those funny tee shirts, if somebody can think of buying me some. But really, I don't want to receive anything. I reckon, I've had so much blessings already.

Now, to count and plan for those parties that we are invited to.

And the moving starts...

this time we are not in a hurry as we have supposedly ample time. But we were held up by laying out new carpet, building the shed, etc. We haven't scratched the surface yet, so to speak. There are still so many things to do but I am so looking forward to the sorting of what to keep and what to give away. I already know that I have so many clothes amassed but they're just overwhelming me. I need to purge in that department, a little bit on the cosmetics but I'd be saving best eyelash growth product if I ever have one, pantry and kitchen. We have already purged on the linen section.

So far so good. Exhausting but exciting at the same time.

Back to Normal

By Ers   November 13, 2011 // No comments
it's been 5 days now since we got back from my homeland. The holiday mode was quickly stripped as I have to go back to work the day after we arrived. Plus, we have to face a big transition. We have to talk to people and we need to get our bearings together and try to remember where we have left off, which involves the solicitor (not the everett gaskins hancock llp though), real estate agent, etc.

We were well rested but Mcj picked up a nasty bug on our last day in Manila that he is still on the mend. And despite that, have to organise anything that needs fixing in our new home.

Workfront, all is well. It was fortunate that I feel like I haven't left at all.

Not Long Now

By Ers   October 09, 2011 // No comments
... our much awaited overseas trip that is. We are all excited but it doesn't show much as we are not packed yet. Maybe we are just being complacent as my days off work include a day before our trip, dedicated to get organised and all. So far, all the organising that has happened are all in my mind and a few on the paper. Oh well, I am sure we'll get everything in order when it's time to go.

This weekend, we're playing the cleaner jobs. We have cancelled our regular cleaning service. It's good exercise and saves us money. Not bad.
