i love a good sale

October 30th, 2009 · No Comments

Nowadays, most people won’t buy anything retail.  With the economic turmoil and all, people are trying to save every which way they can.  They try to save the money on more important things like food, education, mortgage and the future.  I don’t blame them.  I do that, too.  That’s why I try to go shopping [...]

wishing for a container DS

October 29th, 2009 · No Comments

I found this at Container DS by Kuno Nüssli.  I think this industrial freight container-inspired piece of furniture would look good in my home.  It would be perfect for storing spare plates and drinking glasses.  As you know, I lack kitchen countertop space.  And with almost every one of my things out in the open, [...]

car aircon

October 28th, 2009 · No Comments

I think my car air-conditioning is busted.  It turns into a heater by itself.  I don’t know a thing about cars and their parts but I know that my air conditioning compressor must be broken or something.  What else could be wrong, right?  Anyway, I need to check 1Airconditioning.com again for parts.  I only go [...]

not an ordinary college

October 27th, 2009 · No Comments

My son is taking up Physical Therapy and he has two more years to go. It’s a good enough degree especially if he plans to make a career abroad. Physical therapists are paid well in the US but not back home. Do you know who else gets paid high? A Chef. [...]

all in one store

October 26th, 2009 · No Comments

Convenience is key to successful shopping, whether online or offline.  I love online sites that have everything in them.  Imagine not surfing from one site to the next just to find the best deals or just to find those perfect Powell bar stools for entertaining or even the 2009 holiday Barbie that my niece is [...]

2010 horoscope

October 23rd, 2009 · No Comments

Are you someone who follows the horoscope on a daily basis?  I used to do that when I was younger when I had all the time to do many things.  But after two children, new priorities have cropped up.  I still check from time to time and I am always amazed just how accurate some [...]

so weird

October 23rd, 2009 · No Comments

I find i weird that I only get to post about my personal life when I’m busy as hell.  I was at MG’s school the whole morning because she had her periodical exam.  I waited for her to finish because I had to bring her to her sped teacher for one hour of therapy before [...]

But only to close friends as acquaintances or even [...]

October 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

Most shops and stores are having their last quarter sale this early in the month.  I was at the mall last week and I could not help but check out the window displays with their sale banners plastered all over the window glass.  If I only had the money now, I would have bought a [...]
