birthday coming up

It's going to be my birthday in a couple of weeks! (November 4) I can't believe I'm turning 27 already! Wow, that sounds old! Hmmm...I wonder how I'll celebrate my birthday this year. I usually have a party at my house since it's a good time to get together with old friends and do some catching up and probably sing some karaoke and drink some booze while playing poker. I remember when I turned 25 I celebrated it at an orphanage then continued the party at home. Let's see what I'll get to brew up this year.

Going back to school

I got a letter from the UP College of Engineering. It was an invitation to join their graduate studies program. It even enclosed the application form as well as information on how to get a scholarship.

Honestly, sometimes I consider studying again. I somehow miss it. But then sometimes I can't imagine myself going back to school. Probably if I'll go back to school, it would be take up culinary lessons since I really love cooking. Oh well. Let's just see.

Thanks to PEX

I'm really thankful for having Pinoyexchange around. I usually browse through the forums whenever I need information about traveling. It's much easier planning for a trip with all the tips you can find there. Sometime I also check it out for ideas to where my next foodie adventure would be. This forum is really loaded with useful information. Thanks to pexers who unselfishly share nuggets of information which would come handy to fellow pexers.

bad credit history

When I was younger, I’ve always told myself that I will never get a credit card since it’s just a temptation. I know of people who get into big debts because of their credit cards. I don’t know what pushed me to get one later on. I guess I just somehow believed that I’m disciplined enough to handle it. Well, unfortunately I can’t say that I’m handling it pretty well specially when I see a pair of pretty shoes and bags on sale! It really is hard to control one’s self from swiping that card during those moments. Anyway, I hope I get to pay off my credit card bill balance soon. I don’t want to end up with all those surcharges and get a bad credit history. Even if there are Credit Cards For People With Bad Credit available already I don’t want to be labeled as someone with a bad credit history. Oh well. I really hope I get to discipline myself more from swiping that card!

hair loss

Have you tried provillus? Does it work? It is said to block the hormones in men which causes hair loss. Well, unfortunately my dad has lost so much hair already and would probably need those hair loss treatments. I don’t know if it’s genetics or the water in middle east somehow affects it as well. I remember one of my previous bosses who seemed to have hair problems. Sometimes we think he’s wearing a wig to mask the hair loss. Or probably he got hair weaves. Sometimes it looks orderly but sometimes it somehow looks funny since you know there’s something not natural about it.

A lot of men really do have hair problems. I wonder how much it affects their confidence. I know some men can really be vain when it comes to hair not just women. Well, I guess I’d have to refer my dad to this site which gives reviews and compares products to solve those hair loss problems. Let’s see which one he tries out and if it becomes successful.

visiting new house

We went to my bestfriends' new house and spent the night there since we had to go over some stuff for the wedding that we're organizing. I like their new house better since it's more spacious.

I love playing with Mateo, their son which is my inaanak also. He's so cute and has a distinct character already even if he's only 8 months old. I also enjoyed watching my sweetie play with him. It gives me a preview how he would be with our kids.

Yey! Good thing ateneo won over UST! I'm excited for the next ADMU vs DLSU game! Even if I'm not from those schools I still enjoy watching their games.

I went shopping with my hubby . I just realized how expensive guys' stuff can get. Women may shop more but when guys do their shopping, it's even more than the amount that women uses up. He cringed when I bought 3 pairs of shoes all at one time. Now it's my time to cringe when he bought a pair of shoes worth 4k plus!!!

gold bars

My hubby and I have been discussing about investments lately. Of course we both want to secure a good future for our family. It really is not enough to just put your money into banks and just rely on the small interest that it can possibly earn. You’ll be wasting a lot of opportunities if you just let your cash sit in your banks.

My hubby has started investing on mutual funds already. I’m planning to invest on those as well. Another thing that we’re considering is investing in gold bars. Not a lot go into these kinds of investments but those who do swear by the great interest their gold bars have earned. Well, we’d have to research more on this before further jumping into this kind of investment. Probably soon we just might start buying those gold bars.

Vegas

One of the places that I would really love to go to is Las Vegas! I’ll probably include that in my list of things to do before I die. I would love to experience playing poker there and even trying the slot machines just for experience. Las Vegas is really a world of its own. It’s like just being there gives you the permission to go crazy. I can’t blame people ending up rashly getting married there. It’s just really like seizing the moment. And after spending a day of exploring what Vegas has to offer I’d pamper myself in one of those hotels like the Imperial Palace Las Vegas. That would really be cool, don’t you think?

hardworking hubby

My hubby works the night shift again. He just finished a month long day shift and now he has to adjust his body clock again. He works at one of those call centers as an IT support and not as agent. I understand how hard his job is specially if we’re talking about supporting thousands of computers. Viruses, password breaches, and outages are their enemies. They make sure that all computers are running in tip top shape and follow the sarbanes 404 requirements all the time. He works so hard and would even go into overtime. I know I have to be understanding regarding his work. I’m just glad he has a job that he truly enjoys!

finding a new house

My aunt and her family have been living inside the compound of the company they’re working for. It’s hassle-free for them to go to work since the office is just at a walking distance. But then there are hazards living within the compound that’s why they’re starting to look around for some real estate where they could transfer. They’ve made a couple of oculars already but haven’t really seen the right one fit for their family. I think they need some broker so that the task would be easier and faster. Hopefully they’d be able to get their dream house already.

another blogger

I've been reading this person's blog. I'm really amused at how she writes. I could feel every emotion and could almost paint a picture through the words that she has weaved. I look forward to her posts everyday since I somehow can relate to her. I look up to her on how she is living her life in spite of all the struggles that she has been encountering. I wish her the best. I hope she finds true happiness that she truly deserves.

Sammie

Sammie the dog is becoming so spoiled already. She always wants to sleep at my parent's bedroom. She's becoming picky with what she wants to eat. And every morning and every night she wants to be walked around the park or else she throw tantrums and annoy the hell out of us until we walk her. And sometimes when we are outside already and she suddenly gets tired, she'd refuse to walk and summon us to carry her instead. She really won't budge even if you pull her chain, so the only left for us to do is to just carry her home. Spoiled dog!

Xbox skins

Christmas time is just around the corner! Sometimes I even hear Christmas songs being played already on the radio. I usually get that Christmas spirit early. I’m even starting to list down the people I plan to give gifts to as early as now. I know others find it too early but planning ahead helps me manage my budget. It also gives me enough time to really think about what gifts to give. Lately I just thought of giving Xbox skins to my friends who are so into gaming. They’re actually a lot of them. I guess they use gaming as a form of stress releaser. Well, I just hope they love my gift. I hope I can think of nice ones for others on my list.

ADMU vs DLSU

You just gotta love their school spirit!

I don't belong from any of these schools but I do love watching their games. I was crazy enough to line up for tickets last Thursday to watch at Araneta.

It's really different watching it live. My heart thumps with excitement as they begin beating their drums and cheering their hearts out!

It was really quite an adrenaline rush... for every foul, for every three-point shot, for every missed shot. And with the 7 seconds left at the fourth quarter you can feel the tension in the air. I can just imagine all the prayers said during those final seconds. Alas, Ateneo won. (Although of course they finally succumbed to DLSU last Sunday)

computer help

Are you into computer stuff? Well, a lot are into that lately, especially with all the things you can do with it. The internet has made the computer such a powerful tool. There are a lot of forums available where you can ask questions, share ideas, read new information, and discuss issues with other enthusiast. I’m sure it would be such a haven for you to visit if you’re into these kinds of things.

These forums are also helpful for those who are not so good with all these stuff. I personally wouldn’t know what to do if my pc just suddenly conks out on me. I would usually rely on my brother or my boyfriend who are more computer savvy and would probably know what to do to fix it. There are also forums out there to help you in case you yourself encounter some problems and wouldn’t know what to do. Just browse through it and I’m sure you can get the Computer Help you’ve been looking for. They really do come in handy rather than spend some money and sending your computer to some repair shop. Doing your own fixing can really save a lot of money and time as well. Why let others fix it when you can do it on your own. It is a nice feeling after being able to successfully do it yourself!
