This photo is taken on our bedroom. I’m just playing with the camera settings and turning off the flash. I like the outcome of this photo. First, it does not look like an old light fixture and second, the dust camping on the bulbs are not visible. Lol I really need to get one of those discount chandeliers to replace our ceiling light. I want something like this:

At first, your will think that this is one of the beans that are edible to eat. However, this is not what you are thinking. I found this outside our front yard and this one will soon to bloom as a white flower. ;) If I could only spent more time taking photos and knowing the plants in our backyard then I will. But this is not possible for now, cause I have other important things that I need to do than fulfilling what I want. Taking photos is not equally fun like shopping for Naot shoes. ;) In short, I rather shop than take photos of our backyard plants. lol

I’m trying to get used in working on my mini notebook. I need to be fast when doing things on my laptop. So this is my test blogging using it despite that I’m home today. I have to use a USB mouse because the laptop pad is so sensitive. And using it is adding unproductive time. Hope that I made a right decision in having mini. :) By the way I need to look at some diamond rings for my sister. This is one of her wish that she wants to have by this year. I’m just looking at the cost of the design she wants. I’m not gonna buy it.. Just looking ;)

And look at the deals I found: :D

Spring Into Savings

Me and my husband has original plan of hard wood flooring. However, the builder of our house is charging too much for the upgrade. We end up to just go with the standard flooring that they offer, which is the carpet. Now that our first child is five years old, I can say that we truly used the value of our carpet. Just waiting for our second baby to grow a bit older then we can have our original plan of hard wood floor.

My family in Manila received the balikbayan boxes that we sent a month ago. I included my old ipods on the box and they all love it! Now my sister is hoping that I will send her my 80GB soon. lol I will maybe after I upgrade to this one, iPodTouch, then she can have my old one. ;)

Another week is passed. I’m pretty happy with all the things I accomplished for the last week. I was able to spent more time with the kids, did things at home and other important things. No personal spending occurs for the weekend, except for the $16 snacks that Lianne requested today from Wendys. And oh I forgot that we spent big amount to change all the tires of my car. I list down today things I need to do at work and personal stuff that I need to take care.

Having list to look at helps me finish more things. I’m hoping for positive things to come this week :) The big main thing on my long-term list is to lose weight. I’m wondering if the elliptical machine can help me accomplish my weight loss goal.

I need to get a gift card for my sister. I do not know what she wants and I was thinking that safe gift I can give is a gift card from her favorite store. I just want to give something without reason. ;) We will be visiting her place next week.. and just a way of saying thank you for her hard work accommodating us every time we visit them. Do you think the gift card is a good idea?
