The Shopaholic In Me

After Valentine’s Day, next important celebration will be Easter. Our family doesn’t have any specific plans for the Holy Week. We failed to plan ahead. Boo! But happy to note that we are going for a quick getaway with friends on May in time for Mother’s Day. Which get me thinking, I should already plan for nice mother’s day gifts for my mom and my mother-in-law. I know the perfect site where to get. I should probably start ordering those online so I can ensure timely delivery. These are the few I found…

I am now in search of a hotel as where our family can have an overnight stay in time for my daughter’s birthday on March. Thinking whether to stay again in Oakwood Ortigas as we really enjoyed how spacious our room then. We like the interiors of the room and the kids love their bathroom as well. There is an undermount sink in the kitchen which I am hoping we have in our own house. I’m planning that we will be coming from a hotel for the 7th birthday party of my daughter as I want to have a photo and video coverage from there. Here’s a picture of how posh their bathroom is…

Orange is the lucky color of the year as most people say, yes including some feng shui experts;) So lately, it is orange in my mind…

I love this Jessica Simpson shoes I got from my retail therapy in the US. The colors are vibrant, orange sides and fuchsia top. Isn’t it lovely?

It would be perfect to partner it with this…

My orange Tod’s D bag. I’m one happy lady in orange when wearing this. Hope I can really get lucky!!!

Happy that we are finally done with our project for the repainting of the house facade. It has been a plan since December of last year and we were supposed to let the painter do his job while we were in the US. But because of the kids getting sick, we have to push back the plan. Good thing we were able to arrange for it already last week. The painter finished the job in 3 days. We asked to do minor repairs in our roof as well. Next project would be to check out wood blinds online and from the stores as we plan to change all our roman blinds already come summer.

Hello February! Whew! Where did January go? I can’t believe it is already the 2nd month of the year but grateful that I survived the very busy first month of the year.  Thankful to the One up there for giving me all the strength to get through all the stress. Now, looking forward to this love month of February. I am very hopeful for 2012. It started off with a good business for me. I am hoping we could afford to buy gold bars already this year, lol! But kidding aside, I look forward to wonderful people who bring forth positive vibes for me. Bring it on February!

The girls had so much fun when they last saw their cousin, Bea.  We met them the day after we arrived from US and they just one whole day of being together.  They were inseparable.  They just love playing together.  I hope they would continue to be close to each other even when they grow old.  I hope they could still be best of friends by then in between school, career or even boys!  Jokingly, my SIL and I were saying we won’t let them take a peek first to some free dating online.  We would rather keep them as our baby as long as we can.

It’s just two months before my daughter’s 7th Birthday and I haven’t planned anything yet! The only think I have is actually the venue. I need to talk to a couple of suppliers and finalize my bookings. I cannot wait for January to finsih with my 5 more events until end of the month. My dear Margaux wants a Rockstar Princess party. I need to book the caterer, the stage and decors supplier, sound system and lights which should include a good numark mixtrack pro that the DJ requires as his ready equipment in order for him to play great music for the party. With all other things in mind, I can’t get myself to focus for the planning. I think I should really start working on these. Maybe, I should have a list first. Let me begin now!

I have been thinking of what to put in my wish list for this year. Have I been naughty or nice? Hmmm, what ever it is, I think I deserve a very nice gift from Santa. But I still cannot make up my mind on what i really want for Christmas. I guess having this upcoming Christmas trip with my husband and the kids will be the best present ever. It will be a total family bonding again. But aside from that, let me think of a material thing I would still wish to receive. Top of my list would still be a new “bag.” As to what it is, I still cannot make up my mind. I hope Santa will really be kind to me this year. I also want to receive a nice watch as a gift. I would not mind as well to get scott kay rings. That will totally be amazing if Santa will make my wish come true!

On the other hand, I want Santa to be the one to think of ways to surprise me. I am actually challenging him this year. Hope Santa is reading this post lol!

I wonder where I could get cd duplication service? I have few home-shoot videos which I need to save and burn in CDs. I want to save up these videos as I am sure my kids would love to watch their special moments even when they grow up. A client is also asking me if they can give out their prenup videos as their save-the-date videos for their guests. It is entirely a brilliant idea. Now, I do not know of a supplier who could do it. Any leads can help.

It is the time of the year already when people get busy on attending parties. We do receive invitations left and right from friends and families. I, myself is busy sending out invitations to our friends to have christmas lunch or dinner in our place. I am also getting busy preparing gifts for the exchange of presents. I have been receiving wish lists also from friends so I need to allot time to really shop for their requests. One of the most add wish list I received recently is the request to receive braided hose. It came from one of our neighbors.  I wonder now if it is available in hardware shops.  I hope so as I do not even plan to order online since I am pressed with time.  I’m excited as on Friday will be my shopping day for gifts!

2. Thermal clothes for me and the husband
3. Gloves, bonnets and thermal socks for all of us.
4. Scarves
5. Winter jackets and hoping I could score a great deal for north face jackets
6. New set of luggages
7. New set of boots for me
8. Some winter clothes for me
9. Some winter clothes for the kids
10. “Pasalubong” for relatives

Well, my list can go on but I would like to prioritize first the items above. I hope I could find time this weekend to go shopping for the initial items.

Happy to note that my cousin got of the Network Administrator Jobs in Microsoft. I know how hard it is to get a very good job nowadays because of stiff competition but so glad he was able to grab that opportunity. He will actually be flying to US by 2012 to get his training. On another news, I am glad that my 7 other photo books have been delivered already. It came in very late. Waited for these for like 2 months. But I am finally happy that everything is still intact.

We are still hosting about 3 parties in the house before we go on vacation this season. So now, I am looking for nice and perfect Christmas invitations to send out to families and friends. Each party will have a different theme so I am working on the specifics of each and every party. The food will also be thematic. Well, that is my plan. I hope to pull of these things. We will also start decorating the house so this end of the month’s break will be a busy holiday for us. The kids can’t wait for the Christmas tree to be up.

Off to the mall today to check out ironing boards. Apparently, our house help broke our existing one. I wonder what she has been doing with it since I know that the one i previously got is a sturdy one. I need to buy today since there are tons of clothes to iron including my clothes/uniforms for the upcoming events this October. Can you advise me what brand is good?

Our US itinerary is being set. We are close to finalizing everything. And I am getting excited. Although, I think we are missing to go to Florida. I was wishing we can still include that in our itinerary because aside from a possible cruise which we can do there, I have been amazed on what I read about orlando fishing report. I actually want to experience it myself. I am sure it would be a great and a memorable trip if ever. Nevertheless, we are still excited on what we are cooking for this December.
