imageI appreciate gifts but I’m not into jewelries… that was before, now is a different story. :D I actually cannot remember the gift I got on our fifth wedding anniversary. I lose track of things.. but I know that I accumulated few jewelries and upgraded some diamonds on my rings and earrings and stuffed animals throughout the eight years of marriage. We don’t give gifts exactly on the date of our anniversary.. only when we can and on “just because” days. ;)

I find it sweet to remember the special day but I want surprises. It doesn’t need to have a reason or to think for a wedding anniversary gifts just for that special occasion. For me buying gifts can be done everyday, if your pocket can accommodate it, or just a note, or a nice deed will suffice and can touch heart. :D What matter most is the thought for that person.

This cutie bear is enough to melt my heart anytime.. like what I said anything as long as it shows that you remember someone is enough to make the other person feel special. ;)  

I didn’t think about green shopping when I bought my lens :D   Hahaha I’m originally dreaming about the Nikon 18-200mm VR lens.. but I have no $740+ to throw. So I end up to 18-105mm VR lens :D The price is half of what I originally wanted. :D This baby will serve my purpose for now ;) I already have 55-200mm VR lens and it was really good. I can’t wait playing it next week… haaayz! For now all I have to do is dream.. till I receive it. :D

Yum to this!

I’m indecisive to get iTouch or iPhone. Both have advantages and disadvantages. I have no problem with iphone warranty or the quality of both products. One of the factor I don’t like with iPhone is paying additional $30 for the data service.

Data service includes text messages and unlimited internet browsing. The cost of downloading software or extra minutes are not included yet. So doing the math of $30 a month will end up to $360 a year.. Money I’m not willing to spend on top of our phone line for that kind of services. Hahahah I’m really cheap.. no maybe just being practical ;) On the other side, iTouch is so good.. but then no phone function. Haaaay! I’ll just wait till iPhone will be offered to our service provider. Maybe the data service will cost cheaper by that time.

I remember my daughter asking me to buy her binoculars. Yaaay! I said okay but I have no idea how much it cost. lol I have to check on cheap one where she can just play and will not worry about the cost I paid for it. heheh I bought toys that I regret why I spent too much money for it. And I don’t want that to happen again. So I’m trying to be wise in my purchased for the kids.

But buying Barbie clothes for $10 with 5 dresses and 5 shoes is worth it right? :D

My favorite websites to buy health supplements are:

  • Vitacost.com
  • Swansonvitamins.com

I get my Atkins shake and other low-carb food thru Vitacost and herbal supplements from Swansonvitamins. Both websites offer great savings on their high quality products. But if you want to buy phentermine, I’m not sure if they will be the best place to go. Oh, it reminds me to replenish some of my supplements.. Anyway, check them out and see what I’m saying.

I’m itching to shop for clothes and shoes. :D I was browsing online for some urban clothes for my brother and stuff for kids. I also need to buy running shoes and pumps for work. I want to go to the outlet tomorrow. Hehhehe My trip in south California didn’t bring me any shopping deal.. that’s the reason why I went home empty handed.

There is an outlet that I want to visit (Ontario Mills) but I need to drive 35 miles to get there. And the traffic is always bad and too many rude drivers. So I don’t want to waste my life with that. Hopefully tomorrow I can find some good deals. ;)

We are undecided if we should get a wii or ps3 game console. Sometimes we said that a game console is not really helpful for the kids.. but we also think that they should have at least know or tried to play it and we just need to impose control when they can only play. And that’s the reason why we haven’t bought any game console for the kids. I’m glad too that they my eldest is not asking either.. well except that she wants a pink Nintendo DSi. Oh well, this game console is not our priority list, so it will go back, back, back, on the very far behind of the burner. lol

But look at this pink DSi, tempting mom to please her unica hija :D

I went out shopping with my family after the field service today. Got some clothes for the kids, my mom, and some shoes for me. :D I planned to visit an electronics store to look for tv stands that will fit in our entertainment area. But my two kids are tired and wanted to go home. I spent too much today! Something that I did plan to do it. Yaaay! Anyway, I need to go back in watching my expenses till end of this month. I have no more money to use for shopping but I’m happy.. cause I hoarded a lot of good deals! So it seems like I didn’t waste money :D hehehhe

I’m happy and disappointed at the same time when it comes to my diet. I need to look at this Solo Slim if it can help me control more of my food intake and build muscle. I’m thankful that I was able to get out of 190’s but can’t even go down to 170’s. I am stuck in 180’s for 3 months now. Grrr!

And yesterday, I went to the grocery and got chocolate cake and fried chicken. I didn’t eat the whole cake but I got a big piece. And also the chicken just gave me one pimple today. ;(

It’s really true, to plan for a diet is easy.. the problem is staying on the plan. *sigh*

We’re supposed to go out for a field service this morning but I woke up with heavy head/migraine again. I sleep a little more and good thing that I felt better after. The weather is really good and it’s around 10:30am when I decided to bring the kids outside for a walk in our neighborhood. My son in on the stroller and my daughter is just walking with me. After half way of our goal to walk, my daughter said that she is tired and need to call daddy to pick her up. Yaaay!

I feel bad cause I don’t want to disturb my husband but it’s bad too if I will push my daughter to continue the walk. Anyway, we decided to just stop by in a nearest store so she can get picked up and then I continue strolling. I also asked my husband to bring my son. :D So I was alone window shopping! Hahhah I saw a lot of things like the Franke sink my sister is wishing for her house and some make up palette. ;) I feel so free when I went back home.. I’m alone walking! And it feels good! ;)
