mama mia!

I recently watched Mama Mia and I really enjoyed it. Abba rocks! It was quite an amusing story. I wonder who her real father is. Of course that would easily be answered by undergoing DNA testing. If you were her, would you want to know the truth? Well, would it be cool to have 3 fathers? Anyway, I hope to watch more movies like that, something very entertaining and not too heavy a topic. I had the last song syndrome for quite awhile after watching the movie.

hair style

I'm really not very adventurous when it comes to styling my hair. I'm more of a ponytail kind of girl so just keeping it straight works just fine with me. But I'm curious how I would look like with a different hairstyle. I was looking over at http://www.ultimatelooks.com/ and it gave me the idea to try on some wigs just to check out if certain hairstyles would fit me. It would be awesome to have several wigs and just wear them depending on your mood or the occasion you're going to. I think that would work for me as compared to having my hair styled since it would take a bit of time to grow it back in case I didn't like the turn out of the new style.

technology

Aren't you amazed with the available technology nowadays? One of the fields that is highly benefiting these developed technologies is the health industry. I just heard about mycoplasma testing services offered by DNA diagnostic centers among others. I really hope more scientists develops technology for improving lives and not for harming people. I hope more technology can be developed to diagnose and treat certain diseases.

man stuff

I remember back in high school when we were taught about various nuts, bolts, threaded inserts, etc. I really wasn't able to appreciate it that much since it's more of a guy thing. But now that we have our own place and have to deal with some domestic renovation, those information can really come in handy. I wish I gave it more attention that time. Anyway, the hubby can just do all those man stuff instead and just deal with the aesthetic stuff for the house.

keyboard

One of my friend is having her birthday soon. I was asking my friend what she could possibly want to get as a gift for her birthday. According to her, she has been obsessing about kurzweil keyboards & midi at guitar center. She really likes playing the keyboard and experimenting on making midi music. Anyway, maybe I can just look for pieces for her to play since buying her a keyboard is way out of my budget.

more gigs to come

My friend is considering buying affordable ibanez amp at Musicians Friend. It would be a great amp to use during their gigs. They have just started a band and has been starting to increase bookings for gigs. I really do hope to catch one of their gigs pretty soon. They are a talented bunch and I really enjoy listening to them play. It would really be great to show support by watching their gigs. I hope they get to book more gigs too! Congratulations my friend!

high blood

Both my parents have high blood pressure. They’re both taking some supplements to aid their bodies from this. My dad has even brought a blood pressure monitor. This medical equipment is such a big help in monitoring their blood pressure. Usually if they get a high reading and their blood pressure shoots up, it would serve as a sign already to take up some other medications. Well, good thing that they’re both taking care of themselves pretty well by eating the right kinds of food and making sure that they get enough exercise daily. So far, their blood pressure is as a normal level. It’s really great to have a medical equipment around to check their blood pressure every once in a while.

ice cream cake

Have you tried to eat an ice cream cake? I've always loved to try that out and it's great that it easier to grab that opportunity now since there is already a Bake & Churn stall at SM North which offers these ice cream cakes! I thought they would be expensive but I was surprised that they're really not. A slice of their Mocha Caramel ice cream cake is very affordable. Very affordable! I have yet to try their other flavors! Cake and Ice Cream in one rocks!

condo

We made an ocular inspection of our condo unit last week since there was a reported leak. We made a written comlpaint already so they can fix it. Anyway, seeing our unit makes us crave more to move into it. There's still so much to renovate. We need to buy some modern outdoor lighting too. Probably by next year we can move in already if our finances are more flexible already by that time! We're so excited already!

sunglasses

It's the rainy season but there are days when it's still hot especially in the morning. It makes me want to buy prada sunglasses at eyesave.com the shield my eyes from the glare of the sun. It's so trendy while serving its purpose. There are lots of designs to choose from. I would prefer using my sunglasses while lounging at the beach! I would really want to go to the beach instead of enduring the hotness here in the city.

paypal

It's really great that they are now allowing the feature to receive money through Paypal here in the Philippines unlike before. This really changes the ball game specially since I usually make use of Paypal to get my earnings, but I used to use my uncle's account in the US to receive it for me and then he's the one who sends it to me via money transfer. Now, I can easily withdraw it on my own. This would be really great and more hassle-free.

kitchen

I think we need to buy a pot & pan organizer. It would really be a big help in organizing our kitchen which has really been a bit messy for the longest time. We need to buy more organizational containers as well and probably a bigger dish drainer. It would be fun redecorating the kitchen. It would be more fun to cook in a kitchen which is clean and orderly. Adding more kitchen gadgets would be nice too! There's a lot of new recipes I came across with that I want to try already.

Massage

Well, when my mom is not too tired, she would usually give me a massage when my aching back strikes again. She actually took up formal massage lessons complete with certification. She does really good massages. Sometimes she would also treat me to home-service massages. It seems like these kinds of business have been sprouting lately. Well, in this busy world, who wouldn’t want a massage, right? We all need some kind of break once in awhile to break out of monotony. And one nice way to rest and reinvigorate you is by getting massages. I really feel relaxed and refreshed after every massage session. It’s a sure fire way towards a good sleep.

online games

There are a lot of downloadable games you can choose from. If you’re into backgammon, there is an available backgammon download which you can take advantage of. What other games do you want to play? I think just about any game is available online already. The internet and computers are really great technologies which makes our lives more fun. These are really powerful tools. Thank god I live in this time of age and not the olden times. They really missed a lot. Having computers and internet access really makes a big difference in our lives.

shoes

It's rare that I get to find shoes that are comfortable enough for me. That's why when I do get to find one, I would usually buy it already. But recently I came across the best insoles for flat feet. I'm considering buying to try them out. Maybe I would be able to buy more shoes using these insoles to make the shoes more comfortable. It would be nice to have a wider variety of designs to choose from. It's been ages since I last bought a new pair!

emergency money

I believe that we should all have emergency money always ready so that whenever something unexpected happens, we wouldn’t be caught off guard. Well, of course one can also take advantage of payday loans and short term loans in case you don’t have emergency money. There’s a saying that one can’t afford to get sick nowadays since it’s so costly. This is usually the cause of emergency spending. I think that’s why they call it health is wealth!

extra cash

I’ve been listing down the things that I want to buy for my self and give for Christmas. But looks like my budget wouldn’t allow all the shopping that I want. Oh well. I know we all wish for more money. Who doesn’t! There’s a lot of nice pretty things that we all want to buy but our paychecks cannot accommodate. Some even cannot stretch their money for basic things and would even have to request for cash advance. Times can really be tough and one must be really wise when it comes to spending. It’s either we sacrifice and not buy them or we get a higher paying job or probably an extra job to finance all the other things that we want to buy.

puppies

My brother's Rottweiler has given birth to 10 puppies, but unfortunately 5 died. Anyway, the 5 ones that are left are so plump and healthy now. They're so cute! It would be nice to buy them some eggcrate dog beds but it looks like my brother will be giving away all the puppies since we have lots of dogs already. They're dog food expenses have been skyrocketing and it takes a lot of time maintaining so many dogs. So for the mean time we're just enjoying the puppies until they're all given away.
