I have been meaning to buy a titanium jewelry since I came across a site in the net that sells one.  Titanium has a strong resistance to corrosion; it is almost as resistant as platinum.  I am so loving the designs that I saw. Especially this one:

With this matching bracelet:

Will suely love to recieve this as a valentines gift from the hubby…haha in my dreams! As I look back we never did celebrate valentines day

I want to buy a “point and shoot” camera.  The one I have was damaged because it fell from my hands so the lenses isn’t working.  The repair costs as much as the camera, so I did not bother to have it fixed.  Now I am using my SLR camera but its a big bulky to bring when I am going to a not so special event.

Been looking around the net for a grand & toy sale so that I can save a few bucks on my purchase. I am planning to buy the  nikon or canon brand. Well it will all depend on the price and the specs of the cam. Either brand will be great. I’m excited! Any model suggestions?

I miss my BFF Gart.  We’ve been friends since we learned how to talk.  Officially our friendship is the longest I have…I guess 30-32 years?  Always had each other’s back, since God knows when.  We accept each other as it is, no “if’s and but’s”.  She’s  been with me through thick and thin, happiness and sadness. Like my other BFF Jen, she believes in me more than I believe in myself.

I may have had added a lot of friends in my life  but nothing beats the friendship that we and will always share.  I still remember our picnic’s, the street games that we always play as a pair, running in the rain, biking around the neighborhood etc. Seems like yesterday.

We have our own families now.  Not just the make believe game of  having our dolls sleeps in our arms.  She’s far away and now living abroad. But the  good thing that there are a lot of available audio and web conferencing that we can always use to be connected in each other’s live even if we are miles apart.

You always be my soul sister GIDGET!  I pray that the Lord will keep you and you family safe always. Love you

Now that I am old, and my life span is becoming shorter and shorter every year (ha ha!), I am thinking of pursuing my life long dreams.  I have Four.

First dream, I want to have a  boutique carrying one of a kind Womens Clothing, because I really love fashion and there was a time that I made a lot of sketches of gowns and imagined to be a fashion designer.

Second dream was to be a professional make-up artist, which I feel like one whenever I get paid doing someone’s make-up…except when I do make-up for my niece Jovy..which is always free..haha. Erase, erase, erase I was given a discount when I asked her to buy me a longchamp bag when she went to Europe…that is because of my services…hehe

Third dream is to be a singer-slash-hollywood actress, which I know will never happen. Even if I do a “Lady Gaga-like” facade…hehe

Fourth and last is that I want to be a professional photographer…this I know would be a much easier task to realize.  But then I need to do those courses if I really want it to happen.

My point is that life is too short.  There’s a time of doing what we need to do, but there’s also a time to do what we love.  And the time for me to do what makes me happy is now….or never.

It would be a shame not to try.

I accessed my account in picnik.com awhile ago, sad to learn that the site will be closing this April and will soon be in Google+. I really love this site.  Photo Editing has never been easy when I use this site. Though I am not a premium user, still I can do what I need to fix my pics. I can always :

• Fix photos in just one click
• Crop, resize, and rotate in real-time
• Use advanced controls to fine-tune your results
• Tons of special effects, from artsy to fun
• Super fast, right in your browser – nothing to download or install
• Basketfuls of shapes from hand-picked designers

I love it very much that I am sad to learn that they will close-site on April 19, 2012. Now everyone can use their premium tools for free…thanks for my picniking! Mwah!

I will be resigning from my work as a Facilities Coordinator with Cisco in two weeks time.  Because the hubby will work aboard a ship, I will now be handling the grocery store.  I have no choice, but if I did, I want to keep my job as I have tried really hard to get where I am right now in my career.  But then, resigning from my work would mean that I can have a lot of time with the kids and be there for them as soon as they got home from school.

I can also have more time with my blogging, maybe I can accept more work as an events coordinator and a make-up artist…haha..as if I can go out when I run the business.  The store is open from 7am to 8pm, so I’m stuck and will have no time to go out.

Anyways, now I need to have a translucent plastic business cards made.  I am starting a new chapter, I need this to set the mood and accept reality..haha. Good luck to me!

I want something funky like this

My first born, Josh, will soon be graduating from elementary school this coming March.  I can’t believe that I will have a kid in highschool already. How time flies, and now I feel old.  I guess the only advantage of having a family at an early age is having my kids finish their education in a time that I can still enjoy my life and see the fruit of my labor…hehe.

I am excited of the graduation but at the same time sad that the hubby will not be able to attend the rites as he will be joining a cruise ship in two weeks… sniff!

Now all I can do is send him a box pf discount acid cigars to congratulate him of doing a good job of being a good father and that we have finished 8 years for our eldest, another 8 years and were done with Josh’s education. Yippee!

Opppsy, the cigars should be a secret.  Hmmm…wonder if I should also send him a robe…haha.

My two boys are now certified game addict like their dad.  I have been strict on them using the computer to control their urge but now that their cousin have a lot of ps3 games , they want to sleep over whenever they don’t have classes.  I have asked the hubby to lead by example and not to show the kids when he play games on his phone, so that they won’t think that its ok or answer back “papa play games all the time “.

When I am at home I impose a no TV, no laptop hour and encourage them to read books.  When they get the hang of it they can stay reading for long hours. After that when they have finished all their chores I give then 1 hour each of game time, imagine how big their smiles are.

Gave myself a birthday gift. I bought a bag and shirt from Mango and so loving it to the max! Mango is still on-sale (stared Dec 14) on all their branches so you still have a chance to grab those items  that you love which is now up to 70% off.  Gone to MOA and Rob Manila, but there is more to choose from at Rob. Well atleast when I went there…hehe

l

I’m old.  Maybe I am abnormal.  People usually feels great when its their birthday..but not me! Oh no not me, for I feel that its my doomsday! Since I reach 20 (not so long ago..haha) I stopped counting, and the more the number keeps adding on, I feel more inadequately old.

But to be honest, today I don’t feel as grumpy as my pasts birthdays.  Maybe my weird self already accepted the fact that whether I like it or not, I’m gonna be old and wrinkled.

I spent my day wrapping gifts, shopping, wrapping gifts, and then dinner at Aling Tonya’s at Seaside,  Macapagal.

Here’s to me growing old! Cheers old age!
