Ref magnet

I am now into Photoshop. And though I know I have to learn more about it, I am proud that I was able to finish some design for ref magnets last week. I will spend more time with it and I'm sure I'll be able to do more with the help of my husband of course. I think we should be both knowledgeable with so if ever one of us is not around or available we can still continue working.

And yes, you heard it right, we are now making acrylic ref magnets, perfect for souvenirs during birthdays and weddings or anniversaries, it's very useful pa. Sample of our work below.

Food, food and food

Forgive me for making you drool (even with a not so good photos) but that’s what I have been eating since Friday. Chicken and pasta galore and potatoes! Please give me an Appetite suppressant diet pills so I could stop the binging. I think I can still eat mojos and baked potatoes and chicken all week! And tomorrow we will be dining out at Soms (Thai Food). Oh gosh. This food tripping has to stop.

Happy Birthday Mahal!!

Happy Birthday mahal, And as a gift to you today- I am renewing the vows I made to the Lord and to you on our wedding day. I want you to know that it will be forever true to my heart! Love you so much!

Today is HIS birthday

Today is my dearest husband's birthday. I have no special gift to him and I was terribly sorry for that, we had a small celebration last Friday and we will have dinner tomorrow night with friends and today I did not work and spent the whole day with him..so I guess that made up for me not having a special gift for him. We had a movie date and a dinner at Shakey's. Happiness indeed can not be measured by how much money you have in your pocket.

The birthday celebrant and me :) never mind the dirty faces that needs the best acne products available in store. That's what riding in a motorbikes does. :( But then again..we are happy!!

Beach Vacation

I seriously need a very good beach vacation right now. Can I stay in this place like for two weeks? or For EVER? anyways, this photo was taken last 2008 during our first trip to Pagudpud, Ilocos Sur. I fell in love with the beach and I miss it terribly.

In My Womb

And before you think something else..let me get that straight..I am not pregnant..I am just fascinated and amazed by how the ultra sound technology has evolved today. Now you can not only see your unborn child's gender inside your womb but you can record a video and you can actually see his whole feature. isn't that amazing! Like even if he is still inside you can now see who's look alike is he or she.

We watched my friend's video tonight and for about 30 minutes we all gazed in awe how he moves his eyes, his cute little hands, he even opened and closed his palm..and wave it (well maybe not wave but he moved)

It's a little expensive to have that 4D ultra sound for pregnant ladies but i think it's worth it. In My womb is located in Makati and I hope I can afford them when it's my time.

HE is good :)

God has always been so good to me and my husband since the day we got married.

And even if we are still waiting for the special gift (baby) that He has yet to give us, that doesn’t changed His goodness. Even if we lack a lot of things that this world considers as necessities, He is still good to us.

Nothing can ever change the fact that GOD is so good.

And so this is Christmas

September is here. 4 months to go before Christmas but you won't believe me, some have started their Christmas countdown today (yesterday actually because it's already 1:00 AM) And radio stations started playing Christmas songs! And I know it won't be long. Christmas is just around the corner.

I've few things to look forward too this December. A very good friend from America is coming home with the kiddos and I can't wait to see them.

But I have few reasons not to rushed Christmas too.

Expenses.

And we all know that. SO before it comes I hope our pockets are ready.

To tell you honestly, buying gifts for family and friends always excites me. So it's good to be ready and start early. Though I always end up buying most of the gifts the last minute, still I enjoy it. Now, it would be easier because I am thinking of buying personalized gifts online. I've already finished designing one. In between reading the term life insurance quotes and playing games at facebook, I managed to finished one today.

How about you? When do you plan to start buying gifts? Would you order online too?

To do list

I am happy that I only have a four day work for this week because of the holiday last Monday. And I am even considering of taking a leave of absence on Friday for my nephew's first birthday. But before I can do that, I have to finish all my pending tasks in the office, especially the renewal of my boss' auto insurance which expired last month. And another car is due for registration this month. So I have to prepare all the documents needed this week. With that I am writing my to do list so I won't forget anything come Friday.

1. Get hold of the insurance policy of the Fortuner from THA

2. Innova Registration

3. Payment for Association dues (Rockwell)

4. Finish the document checklist for hearing

5. Prepare/Send draft

I know I can finish this before the work week ends. :)

Expendables night

As you have read below, I let hubby chose the movie and my guess is right. And I do not regret giving him the right to chose because I enjoyed it too. Enjoyed meaning I did not fall asleep because it was an action packed movie. And the sound won't let you sleep also.lol

I didn't know it was also directed by Sylvester Stallone himself. I was never a fan,a s a matter of fact I do not remember watching any of his movies. Old as he is now but this one is good I must say.
