sog set gift

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

This coming February seems to be one of the most hectic month for us all here in the house, you see, as early as now we have been receiving quite number of invites to different events! And the fact that those are actually individual invitation - meaning, we all have different parties and events to attend to for the whole month. And given that already lined up social gatherings, we are now starting to think of gifts and tokens to give to those who invited us. For the two weddings that we are scheduled to attend, I had that already covered. Thank heaven for my December loots that’s about to arrive anytime this week, that has this sog specialty knives set, something that was supposed to be for my kitchen use, but then again mom told me to spare at least a pair so we wouldn’t have to buy from the mall since it wouldn’t be too much hassle from me if I just order another set from Knives-America.com and wait for it to arrive in about two months (together with the other shopping loots) simply because I’m not about to use it anytime soon, nor have any intention of getting into the kitchen just yet.

coffee addict

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

Just when I thought coffee has been out me and my system, it was indeed certainly not! In fact, two cups of freshly brewed are being consumed again by me for the past five days now. Want to know what happened? well, after the holidays full of eating and going out and buying coffees from expensive stores, I finally decided to cut that out so for me to save, it was actually working well until my friend who came in from another country gave me a wonderful Keurig Coffee Maker! complete with all the things I will be needing to make perfectly brewed coffee :D who will be able to refuse that heaven sent thingies?! now can you blame me for indulging again?! of course you cannot! And the fact that everything is free, makes my coffee more tasteful and enjoyable! :D

So what will happen if my stash runs out, you ask? Then I would be ordering from www.greatcoffee.com! a site that offers affordable top rated coffees (even the flavored ones if I want that), K-cups, coffee accessories for my coffee maker and other items just intended to suit the taste and wants of the coffee lovers! And what’s really nice about it all? I can buy online! I just need to ask my good friend to include everything on our box to be sent here and there, great cups of coffee again for me to enjoy! :D



birthday wish

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

A friend who is about to celebrate his birthday sometime next week just made a list of his wish list that he wants to receive from us, the well renowned thoughtful friends of him :D Anyways, you see every year he throws a party for his birthday, actually it also serves as a mini reunion for us all to celebrate, he makes sure everyone will be present on that special day and no one misses it. And if someone does missed the party?! crap, that’s the start of a great word war for the two parties! he never understands whatever you reason you present, kind of childish I know but then again, we grew to accept and embraced that anyways.

So going back to his wish list for this year, he wants so many things (read:expensive things) that definitely wouldn’t be given to him by us, of course! but he has this affordable lists that we are all expected to look and decide. And one of the thing he want to get is a piece of this Yankees 2009 World Series Memorabilia that can be bought online at www.encoreselect.com - that of course I crossed out already! Thank heavens that I’m quite familiar with this site already and knows that they offer affordable memorabilia and other stuff for baseball enthusiasts, so there, will be ordering from this site and hopefully it arrives just in time for his birthday :D

slow internet connections

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

I wonder if it’s just my connection or my laptop that is the problem with my slow internet connection. Lately, my sister and I have been experiencing fluctuation of our internet, and to make the matter’s worst we just need to call up our internet service provider hotline every so often (which can’t hardly connect due to some reasons or another) to follow up on the down service. But there, they always says that nothing has been reported by their technical staff regarding the interruption or slowing down of the service, which makes us, especially me really mad. In fairness to their customer support, they have some suggestions for us to receive faster service because there are issues with regarding the use of wireless system that actually makes the internet fluctuates or died down or whatever. Anyways, they said that we can try using Fiber Transceiver, something that most companies are using especially those who are based on working online, basically to not experience slowing down of internet flow connection because of the well crafted fiber optic cable made specifically for getting fast bandwidth and great connection speed of the internet.

So there, we might get one if that can be the best solution so we wouldn’t have to experience madness around the house due to internet slowing down.

he races too :D

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

Dear husband told me that a friend will bring him to one of KSA’s race track for him to witness how these foreign racers strut their stuff on the circuit. I’m definitely sure DH is so excited for this thing because he loves cars and racing too! He even got himself a cool Nascar jacket sometime ago that he actually wears whenever he competes in slalom racing, well yes, he is also racing driver, with his share of fights on the track, guess he’s one of them too :D

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

Speaking of the soon to come birthday of our daughter, my mom and sister is now thinking of the nicest present to give the little brat. A cool ps3 would be great you know, if I can decide for them! :D Alright, was just joking, how about just paying for the Mario game I purchased for the wii? it’ll sure be a hit with the little brat since she loves playing wii every time!  How about that? well, let’s see, will try to tell that to them tomorrow! hopefully my convincing prowess will work! :D

She wants a Hello Kitty Party!

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

As what my daughter keeps on telling me yesterday. She now wants a Hello Kitty for her third birthday on the 25th. Oh, don’t get so confuse, we are not throwing her a huge birthday celebration complete with all that majestic planning and stuff and all. It’ll be just another house party (like her 2nd) with her cousins and few friends that lives around the neighborhood. Food will be prepared by us and a few kiddie games and prizes for her less than 7 guests. But will sure do some balloon decoration and will order a cake that she can practically gasp and awed the whole party time :D  So there, it’s more like of 70% HK party it is for my little brat, I hope she wouldn’t change her mind for the nth time tomorrow though!

Will make sure to update more about this little house party that we will have, but before that, gotta search now for an instant life insurance quote there is.

me cooking! again.

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

So I cooked earlier today! and that’s new thing huh?! I know, it has been what, seven months when the last time I prepared a dish and manned the kitchen :D

And today is a different story! Finally, had the guts (again) and the courage to face the stove and enjoy what I also love which is to cook. You see, if given a chance and employment knocks and it has to do with me being a chef or something, I’d gladly take it! Cooking is one of my favorite thing to do, until we transfer again to my parent’s house. You see, my mom does the kitchen stuff that is why it leaves me no room to strut my prowess on delicious meals and all! :D

Hopefully, this is again the start of me taking charge of the yummy meals, well at least once or twice a week will give mom a break and do the thing for her and for us all here (the ones with the huge appetite! :D )

daughter now

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

A lot of friends and relatives were able to notice my daughter’s gain of weight. And I think, I owe it to her multivitamins that my dad has sent us some weeks back thank heavens for together rx access. She now has a big appetite on every meal - no more hard time when it comes to making her eat for she now asks for rice meals! Also, we notice how she likes to sleep more, before you can’t make her take a short nap, but now, there are times when we just see her snoring out aloud! She’s definitely a big girl now! :D I only wish that the husband is here to see the improvements on her dearest daughter! oh well, 4 months is not too long to wait…

fab holiday houses

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

Just came back from the anticipated mass, and it’s really cold outside! I had to blame the myself for not remembering to bring my jacket. Good thing, Olin’s hoodie came in handy for it has been left in the car for two days now. Anyways, before we went home, we decided to take a few minutes stroll near our area and we even entered two villages and did some sight seeing of the house’s Christmas decorations (lights,lanterns and all). The little brat loves the Santa Claus displays and the reindeer’s too! We really  awed the huge and beautiful houses in the village that we entered, there is this one particular house that we really like and every time we pass by that house, the husband and I promise ourselves to work real hard and when we are already rich and financially able, we will also build our own dream house, with a wide lawn where Olin and his or her siblings will play, a nice kitchen where I can maneuver my cooking prowess :D, entertainment room where we will have our family bonding by watching movies, spacious living room with elegant sofa sets, cozy bedrooms and of course, inviting bathrooms too! I like our bathrooms to have one of those fab and elegant looking toilets, thus to Buy Toilets is one of my major thing to schedule.

crossed out

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

And so my Christmas list is finally all crossed out. In fact, a few items were declared un-named because I wasn’t able to look closely on my list and had a few items doubled. So just in case, a kid who’s name is not included, he or she can have a gift too. And I wonder who could that be?! hmmm.. Anyways, speaking of gifts, some of my gifts - specifically for my mom hasn’t arrive yet, probably it’ll come on January together with all my shopping loots from the Black Friday sale. So what are those that my mom will get? aside from her four chaffing dishes that I purchased from my friend Glo, she’ll also be getting Spyderco Endura 4 knives, a set actually of 12 pieces or more of that. She has been checking out this particular type of knife whenever she has a chance at the mall thus I’ve decided to get one for her, and include it on her Christmas pressies from me! So you wonder what this knife has something that makes my mom really wants it to have? I honestly don’t know, but when you sees it, it’s pretty cool looking right? and based on my readings about the specification et al, this thing really rocks! cool features and is on sale right now! - now that’s really worth the buy!

wrenched

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

Was watching the news few minutes ago and my heart got wrenched up for the segment they’ve shown about a certain hospital badly needing medical equipment of all types.You see, they are catering a lot of little barrios all over the province but they can’t provide the proper health care for all because of the lack of equipments and proper budget allocation for the service they provide. And for this Christmas, they are needing some help from those who can allot monetary donation for them to acquire stuff for their hospital. I hope they get enough funds from the kind hearted people.

Dad’s b-box arrived earlier today and we were really surprised to see what’s inside, it was so full we can’t even imagine how he managed to stock those inside! From towels to can goods to bathroom stuffs and even Hubberton Forge lights!  But what really makes me super excited were the mixed nuts and imported sausages! Had to asked my mom to save some for me - because for sure, she’ll be giving out some of the loots! And yeah, I also heart the colognes and lotions that he included inside the box! Super love the scents! Got to keep a few too! :D

power of ads

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

We all know how this Naming Company can make a certain business that offers products or services reach the ladder top of success. The better advertisement one product can give, the better. The more spot ads a certain services can buzz around town, the more clients they get. That is the truth. And what comes after that, is the downfall of the competitors who doesn’t brave themselves up on investing such a good and catchy advertisement either on print, billboards or tv spots. I guess that is the secret of the famous brands in the market today, when in fact they are the ones we often saw on those highly budgeted advertisements just about everywhere. And being well known and desired by consumers, they now has the right to mark up and raise the prices of the products and services and basically give justice to the price tag they set.

And that is what I am talking about to a friend who is starting up a small business, told her that she might as well invest and splurge on advertising so that people will know her new set up business and she’ll see how people will create a buzz line in front of her shop because of that. The power of proper naming and advertisement.

dining and photography

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

My friend who is actually into photography, er, he is not into it but he is so good at it, a pro photographer in fact just showed me earlier his collections of snaps of things that captures his attention and places that strikes him. And most of the photos that he showed me were taken at New York, during the last time he went to the States for a vacation. Well anyways, the photos that was shared to me were all amazingly beautiful! his camera really captures every thing on the frame and he was able to give it a glow or something that makes me awed. I also notice how he likes taking photos of restaurants especially in Manhattan and so when I asked him why he does that, he answered simply, because he love food. Made sense right?! He also mentioned how he loves to dine out and try all those Restaurants in Manhattan! Particularly those that are being recommended by the favored site RosieOGradys.com - where he usually gets suggestion on where to go on his next food and restaurant hunt in New York. And speaking of that, for me, it is very advisable to check first sites that does that, recommending places to go and eat so you wouldn’t have to worry and anything and you can practically hope for the best experience ever of whatever!

Christmas Invite help

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

I will be logging off early tonight because my sister asked for a help on doing their class’ holiday cards that are supposed to be given out before their Christmas party. But the thing is, she needs a major help for the preparation and to start off with this invitation card. So as a big sister (who thinks she knows it all! hahaha) I pledge to help her from start to finish! Now that’s what being a sister is all about right.
