Daily Happy Thoughts

Now that Borski and I have funds on our Paypal account, sometimes I find myself browsing for some neat stuff to spend these on over the internet.

Not that I am one to splurge on things, on the contrary, I do find myself taking so long in deliberating whether to push through with a particular purchase or not. Say for example something that I am so passionate about, like sneakers/rubber shoes. I find it funny how I always come back to the same boutique/stall and always come back to the one item that has managed to catch my fancy. Sometimes, I come back around 5 times just to be able to say to myself that indeed I need to get my hands on those. LoL. That was the case with my Yellow Monster Truck *chuckles* hahaha!

Anyway, I found this neat site online that has a wide array of accessories to choose from. They offer a lot of options for promotional items, and free shipping on selected items. This is a great idea for companies who are planning on giveaways for their employees this Christmas, or even for individuals just looking for gift ideas. One thing in particular has caught my attention: this Lighted Colorchanging Usb Powered Mug Warmer.

Now ain’t that a thing of beauty? Hope to get one this Christmas! LoL.

I remember when Borski mentioned to me a few months back that she was gonna be going shopping for a stroller for her nephew CT, the eldest son of her brother Charles and his wife Tere in Davao. I guess she was pretty much excited to be buying something for her very cute nephew, who wouldn’t right?

And so she went window shopping for strollers in the department stores of Dumaguete. Now, for anyone of you who has been to Dumaguete, you would know that there aren’t many places here to shop for those. Sure there’s the main stores like Lee Super Plaza and Cang’s but apart from that, there aren’t much to choose from. In the end, Borski decided to just send the money and let them pick for themselves in the malls around Davao City.

That was then. Had we known what we know now, we would’ve just browsed online to look for those on the net. Take the Maclaren stroller, for example.

It is such a neat tool in that it can hold many of the baby essentials that you would need like if you were taking your baby for a walk. It is lightweight at 14.2 lbs and even though it is smaller than most large sized strollers, it surely isn’t lacking in comfort and performance as it has front and rear wheel suspension. Now ain’t that a truly awesome gift for the little guy?

Now in my case what might that be? LoL.

To spare you from stressing your brain cells, haha! That would be my inability to keep my weight down. I guess I am too much of a muncher to ever get results from my exercise regimen (as if I had one..lol). When I am on the job, I rarely have time to sweat it out as I am on 12-hour shifts. So you couldn’t blame me for being such a sucker for my nap time.

How I wish I could then get my hands on an alli diet pill. I read up somewhere that it works wonders. I wonder if it’d work for me. LoL.

You’d be surprised how far a man’s desire goes, especially if it’s a long-standing dream.  You’d be awed by the loyalty given to that dream.  Yes, you’d be totally touched with the realization that your man, like a kid receiving his first chocolate bar when he was still 5, smiles deeply and with eyes twinkling while looking at his prized possession once achieved.

Whatever that is, depending on what’s their definitive attraction - sports, gears, art, travel - each man’s long-standing dream differs from one to the other.  For Ian, it’s his 4WD high performance yellow  truck. Truly a high quality vehicle, with awesome design and big wheels. No, not for human transportation yet. *wink*  It’s a remote controlled truck that will surely be an envy to all his friends and his friends’ son(s) who have the same attraction to RC toys.  After 4 long years of religiously visiting the same type of truck either at Lee Super Plaza’s toy section or at SM City’s Toy Kingdom, he was able to finally buy one at Manila (was it bought at MOA, Nai?) when he was assigned there for a month of training at EDC-Fort Bonifacio. Mind you, he hand-carried it all the way from Manila (on his lap the entire flight) to Gregorio’s residence! 

Yep, toys for the big boys! 

Poor Batchoy.  The short-haired 3-month-old dachshund puppy runs for his life every time Ian’s RC truck is on the floor.

Four days after our Boracay escapade, I was able to finally arrange the living room and set everything right.  Our leather chairs, now adorned with lovely cushions covered by metallic-type, embroidered cushion cases (gifts from Sheng and Yman), are arranged in U-shape facing the TV.   Our need now is to buy an affordable but sturdy china cabinet where we can place all the gifts we received.  This “need” sent me searching for discount furniture from local suppliers who custom-make products for home beautification.

The search extended online, which led me to Boyle’s Distinctive Furniture. They offer a collection containing a variety of discount dining room furniture that have elegant and functional designs,  and accessories to complete your home design project.  What’s more is that Boyle’s Furniture is giving away a $10,000 Dream Room Furniture Giveaway.

Now that our wedding is pretty much fast approaching (9 days more to go!!) we have gotten quite busy with last-minute preparations and dealing with all the nitty gritty details. I am actually really thankful that Borski had chosen a very good wedding coordinator as I can’t imagine the two of us actually doing all the work of setting up this event by ourselves, what with our busy work schedules. One thing I admire so much though is how organized Borski is. I dunno if I am doing good enough of a job of giving her a pat on the back.

Speaking of our budget..uummm..suffice to say that we have already accumulated a big overrun, as in, spell that with a capital “O”..lol..which leaves me wondering if we still have enough room on the budget for our honeymoon getaway. We were thinking of going to Palawan. That or going on honeymoon cruises. I remember someone telling me once before that if ever we are to dream, dream big. They are, after all, for free.

Now I’m wishing that our bank account can match the size of our dream…

I am finding myself on that state nowadays, especially now that our big day is coming up. Whew! Just 9 more days to go…wait…did I say 9 more days?!?

Just last week, I even found myself lying awake at dawn after I woke up from a bad dream. I dreamt that it was already the day of the wedding and all things were in disarray. Normally, I am the type of person who easily dozes off and I don’t consider sleeping as an issue. However, I guess these doesn’t count under “normal” times either.

Normally too, I wouldn’t be that conscious whenever I have acne. Right now, I am dreading the moment when I would actually find myself with those. I guess I would have to keep my face extra clean nowadays. On a positive note though, if all else fails, there’s always photoshop..hehehe.

The picture above reminds me of the movie Transformers. I didn’t know they already made gym equipment that looked like the one above. LOL.

As I may have probably mentioned here already, my brothers are into body toning and conditioning at the local gym. As for me, I haven’t tried it yet, but I have always been curious and wanting to try working out in the gym. But I guess I do have to think of my schedule which keeps on getting more hectic as the days pass by.

My brother and I have always been planning on buying some home gym equipment one by one so that we can work out in the comfort of our own home. I found this website featuring some strength equipment. I do hope we can have our own mini gym at home soon. Perhaps money earned from blogging can help us realize this into reality..hehe
