tools

Since my dad has already retired from his work and has already come home from UAE, he’s trying to find things to do. He is planning to finally make use of our vacant lot in Batangas and build a rest house there so that we would have somewhere to stay at whenever we visit our province. I think he’s also planning to do some renovations in our own house as well. I think he planned this even before he left UAE since he even bought a lot of tools that would aid him in these “projects”. It was kind of overwhelming how much stuff he has. I don’t even know the names of those tools but they pretty much look heavy duty. I think he still plans to buy a couple more just like Masonry saw diamond blades. He’s even planning to make a movable work table which has drawers underneath to hold his tools and other paraphernalia. Well, it looks like he would have busy days ahead. I just hope he doesn’t overwork himself.

wedding favors

I’m holding off accepting wedding coordination (not yet sure if this is a permanent thing), but I’m still open to giving wedding planning advices to friends who are getting married soon. I love talking about weddings and planning for it. I really enjoy it even if it means thinking about hundreds of tasks to do just to ensure that your wedding would go smoothly and surely be a memorable one too. Deciding on suppliers are really crucial decisions since their quality of services would definitely have a significant impact on your wedding. And then of course there are the little details that you can probably D-I-Y in order to save money. Sometimes it’s in the small details which make a wedding truly unique and memorable. Anyways, right now I’m helping a friend decide what her wedding favors would be. I think she is keen on deciding to get an edible wedding favor as oppose to getting something that you just display on cabinets and accumulate dust. She’s thinking of either getting cookie wedding favors or wedding candy favor just like those cute colorful jelly beans.

cross dressing

What can you say about people who are into cross dressing? I guess it’s more obvious when guys wear female clothes as oppose to female wearing men’s clothes. Sometimes those who are crossdressing really do look like real women and even look really sophisticated. Sometimes I can’t even pin point outright whether they’re a woman or just cross dressing. But honestly, there are times when I see gays who cross dress who like really horrible. It’s really done in bad taste. It’s like an eye sore. Sometimes you see them walk in groups who are probably into crossdresing dating. Oh well. Some really need to reconsider their sense of fashion.

garage sale idea

My dad's coming home! He said he has like around 4 big balikbayan boxes that he is sending home. He already packed all his stuff since he's coming home for good. I wonder where we're going to put all his things. Their bedroom is so stuffed already. I was actually suggesting that we have a garage sale since I know we have too much stuff that we don't either use anymore or totally don't need. Having a garage sale would definitely help clear up some space.

too much carbs

I know that one of the major culprits why I just can’t take off these unwanted pounds is because of too much carbs. I just love eating rice with ulam. I tried decreasing and sometimes eliminating rice, but it’s just not sustainable for me. Especially when I’m eating with my sweetie, who’s big on rice as well, I just sometimes get carried away and take in more rice than I should. Sometimes I’m just really tempted to take those appetite suppresants. Oh well. I just hope I get to learn to apply portion control.

computer fixed

I recently had a problem with my computer. It just decided to not properly work as it was intended to work. Unfortunately, I’m not really good at technicalities when it comes to fixing it when something goes wrong. It’s really a good thing that my brother knows a lot about computers. My laptop’s hard drive had some problems. He made some diagnostics and then concluded that the hard disk should be replaced already. He just bought a new one and installed it himself. So now, my computer is running again, thanks to my brother!

clean air

I easily get irritated with the smell of smoke! I really hate second hand smoking. Well, probably because I have symptoms of having asthma already. My brother and mom have asthma. We probably should get air cleaners to use at home. That would really help a lot to avoid getting asthma attacks. It would be so much nicer to breathe clean air all the time.

summer pampering

I’m glad we have a membership card at Astoria which enables us to have a weeklong free vacation at their hotel every year. We can also use it at other affiliated hotels all over the world. It’s fun having this privilege since it’s so relaxing staying at nice hotels every now and then. We all deserve a treat once in awhile. Times like these when it’s super hot, it’s nice staying at an air conditioned hotel room and take a dip at the hotel’s indoor pool!

more reliable

It’s great that we don’t get to experience so much loss of cell signal anymore as much as before. It’s probably because there’s a cell tower almost always near you. Companies have invested in these in order to provide better service. This is one of the great outcomes of the stiff competition between these service providers. It used to be so irritating getting inefficient and unreliable service from these companies.

planning to abstain

I've got so much listed in my things to do. I've barely ticked some off. Well, the major culprit for my lack of productivity is: FACEBOOK! Geeez...I didn't know it was going to be this addicting. Lately, I've been recklessly spending my time with some of it's applications namely Mafia Wars (level 119) and Pet Society (Level 25). Oh well. I've been planning to abstain for a couple of days but I still haven't gotten around to doing the sacrifice. Well, tomorrow is another day. Hopefully it would be a much more productive one.
