Ang aming prinsesa nung bagong taon – naka-lila na pangtulog lamig at me lila sa mata, hehehe. It ay mistulang black-eye na di namin alam kung saan nanggaling.

I have always loved coffee. Long before I loved diet Coke, there was coffee. It has been my constant companion during sleepless nights of school days long ago and the right pick-me-up the morning after. It has witnesssed countless
secrets, tears, laughter and dreams with friends meeting over coffee. It is the one I can travel far and wide just to have . Coffee and Starbucks – my pick me up of choice.

2009 Week in Review

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

I have blogged about my first year-long project of the year – the Project 365. So far so good. I haven’t missed a day yet and I am caught up putting them into the simple layouts I have decided to put them into. There are days when I run out of things to take photos of and I feel that my pictures are the same day after day (I lead a boring life!) but I guess that is the challenge of the project huh? To be able to view your life through a lens. It really makes me gain new perspective on how I lead my life (and makes me want to redecorate the house real bad hehehe).

Now here is my other project. My version of taking on the impossible. I have fallen in love with Anna Aspnes’ Week in Review book ever since I saw her start posting it on her blog way back then. I e-mailed her asking if she would consider selling the book templates and she did the following year. It took me a year to muster enough courage to really commit to the project and so far, so good :D I really hope I can finish this, I can tell I will be scrapping fewer pages this year as I expect to be a lot busier so this book if completed will be able to chronicle our year fully.

Extending.

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

There is no doubt about it. While we report that countries are getting poorer and more and more people are left with no food, there are more people who are obese now than twenty years ago. Food isn’t the only thing to blame, one can consider the sedentary lifestyle, the introduction of technology, the urbanization of cities and towns and many things more that contribute to having people get obese. Food preparation and the rising of food chains are also a cause.

With this, many facilities have been built with consideration to obese people. There are ramps, escalators and elevators. Why, in clothes and shoes, they have expanded until size 34 and EEE. In cars, there are wider seats and bigger leg room. There is even a Seat Belt Extender! You can get one for your car, for the airplane and even just a universal one – one that fits in everything.

While it is a hassle one needs to consider their safety. It needs to be of utmost importance all the time. Actually, I have a better idea! It is a better (safer, easier and a hundred more times convenient) if obese people seek treatment and get advice on how to lose weight and try to be healthy!

My Workstation

Monday, January 26th, 2009

I have been dying to get my own workspace in our house for a long time now. I work from home (kind of) and my “office” is temporary – from the dining room table to the couch to the bed. And that is why an EHD of mine got fried – it fell because I moved around too much (Maybe I wasnt that careful either).

So I told the husband I’d like to have a worktable built for me as my present to myself on my birthday. He agreed and we are going to look for one and ask for quotes when we get the money. I’m now browsing cute Office Furniture online. I love everthing from IKEA!

The table must come from Prime Office Furniture though. It sells only the best commercial grade quality executive office furniture, since 2004. Their warehouse facilities and headquarters office are located in the City of Industry, CA. They offer Excellent customer service before, during, after each sale to stand by their 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE OR YOUR MONEY BACK policy.

These storage bags are so cute and functional too, I’d want one in GREEN and PINk please!

I really hope I can get in time for my birthday in two weeks.

Guiltless Shopping

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

I have been very very good with my resolve to develop my one little word in my everyday life (my word is discipline). I have been very vocal how much I love to shop – online. It is quicker, easier and as much as I love to shop, I know if I think twice about it, I would end up not getting it so online shopping is perfect for an impulsive shopper like me. Put in the red sign of a SALE and I’m there checking out things I probably don’t need in a heartbeat.

I dream and want of big things this year. And if I want big things I’d need to control my impulsive shopping once a week because there’s just a great sale (believe me, I have the mentality that I’d save more if I buy things on sale, even if I dont need it yet). So saving is the key.

Alligator Watch Bands is on my list. It might seem pricey but it is a classic item. Believe me. WatchStyle.com has 8,000 quality watch straps, delivering the world within 2-3 business days and I am partial to the Hirsch brands. My dad will love this:

Maybe I can save for a Christmas present now.
