Animal Lover.

Friday, February 29th, 2008

My kids loves animals. Matthew loves going to the zoo. Martha is fascinated by them. In fact, the first things she learned was animal sounds. Edil loves to have pets. I think they got it from my father-in-law. He has around 7-9 dogs, of different breeds, an aquarium with fish, birds, and collects various small animals like guinea pigs! He feeds around 10 people in their house and my mother-in-law says the budget for weekly pet supplies like food and bath products can rival their food’s weekly budget! He even calls to make sure his dogs have eaten when he is away! That’s how an animal lover he is!

Beach Side Living.

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Who doesnt want a house by the sea? I think almost all people, if asked, would love to live by the sea. I think the sound and colors of the sea are absolutely calming to the senses. It helps you think, reflect and be energized. That is why properties being sold by the Wilmington real estate are selling like hotcakes! They span the beach communities of Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Topsail Beach, Surf City, North Topsail Beach, Bald Head Island, Oak Island, Ocean Isle Beach, Holden Beach, Sunset Beach, and Figure Eight Island; and the coastal communities of Castle Hayne, Burgaw, Currie, Scotts Hill, Hampstead, Rocky Point, Leland, Bolivia, Sunset Harbor, Brunswick, Calabash, Carolina Shores, Shallotte, Boiling Spring Lakes, Southport, Supply, Holly Ridge, and Sneads Ferry.

Russian Women at LoversPlanet

Friday, February 29th, 2008

There is a Ukraine dating service called LoversPlanet that lets you meet Russian women and Ukrainian women. They say the make the most beautiful brides. The language barrier is going to be an inconvenience though. That’s what LoversPlanet actually takes care of by encouraging that matches talk more through phone. Everything is easier and cheaper with Skype these days.Another important difference between LoversPlanet and a lot of other Ukraine and Russian dating agencies is that we don’t act as a middleman translating you and your Russian bride’s messages. All communication is direct. These “traditional” Russian dating agencies often leave you ill-prepared for a lifelong relationship. LoversPlanet women all have at least a basic understanding of English, so you are able to work together to communicate and get to know one another without experiencing any unpleasant surprises down the line.

It’s Pink!

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Yes! Two months into 2008 and one of my fearless forecasts
for the family has come true!

I got this!

Dell Inspiron 1525 Pink

She was ordered yesterday by Glo and I also got its matching pink mouse, of course :)

Logitech Pink Mouse

And I cant wait for it to arrive on the 25th of March! It was really a steal, because I used some awesome coupons and with the current peso-dollar conversion, oh la la la baby! I got this around 50% (or more) the usual offering here in the Philippines.

Shopping Again.

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Abbie is going home next month! This means I can now ready myself for some shopping again! :) Im thinking what to buy – no clothes this time, maybe some shoes for summer for the kids. And some techie gadgets. I can always google an amazing Amazon coupon code on the web. I love shopping at Amazon! They have everything I need! I might wrestle my way into a laptop, God-willing, if Edil will say his yes :) I hope he does!

Fitness Minded

Monday, February 25th, 2008

OK. With the impending move, Edil wants to have a home gym equipment sometime in the future. With the nice space on the terrace or garage, he can have a couple of equipment to exercise. I told him I would just get the treadmill from my Dad. He hasnt really used it in ages. (We need to buy shoes for me though). Im really excited with our plans. I just hope we can make it come true within the year. For sure, the next months will just be filling up furnitures and essential appliances.

Home Restoration

Monday, February 25th, 2008

We need to fix a lot of things in the house. Well, we are moving soon anyway so we need not to but I brought a lot of things to the attention of my mom. We need to overhaul the kitchen sink, replace bathroom faucets, check for termites (we do this yearly) and just really re-paint the house. The wallpapers seriously need to go. I havent really liked it at all ever since. At the new house we will be moving into, we just need to repaint everything. No wallpapers!
