If Only

Posted on September 26, 2011 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Yesterday at the mall, when I got a pair of new Grendha Carolina Dieckmann pair, we saw a lot of people in the activity center. It turned out there was a sale on a popular brand of mobile phones. It just so happened that before going to the mall, I was looking at some models of the same brand so seeing the display there made me a bit excited.

A bit.

If circumstances are different (meaning next month is second semester tuition fee season for 3 kids), I would have gotten myself a unit. Though the discounts were not that big, at least, there’s discount good enough to entice buyers to get a unit or two to where the barcode scanners are.

The lines were quite long and it was just around noon. Had they organize this on a payday weekend, there would have been more people.

Oh well.

In a while we will be using coupons for dinner’s dessert. It is a desserts for grandma event because we are actually coaxing grandma, my MIL, to join us. The weather’s been blah lately and as of now, the rains still a-pouring so she expressed the desire to just stay home and not join us šŸ™

The vouchers are expiring on Tuesdays so we need to avail of these frozen delights. No matter if the rains are here šŸ˜€

Yikes!

Conjugated linoleic acid is for weight loss? I’m not that knowledgeable with the different weight management fads and trends no matter how many times I’ve written about this topic because this is one of the things that I think a lot of aside from budget management, LOL.

If only thinking about the budget management makes me lose weight, then I would have been a skinny woman by now.

Speaking about budget management, the hubby once remarked that looking at the various online discount vouchers site I have accounts with will make an even poorer person than I already am. I don’t really buy a lot of these vouchers, only those that I know will make us contented.

As it is, I’ve heard that one or two of these local sites (glad I don’t have an account with these two, yey) have been having a lot of “oh no!” and facepalm reactions and not to mention angry customers.

Time like these, I wouldn’t want to be the company’s customer service rep. Yikes!

Trinkets for Friends

Posted on April 12, 2011 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

My MIL asked me if I want to get a bead collection container she has to give to my eldest daughter. She used to collect beads and make these into bracelets and trinkets to give to her friends. She sometimes browse through different websites like chamilia for ideas on how she would put these beads together. Somehow the interest got lost.

We even used several of these beads for a denim bag project for school.

She (my eldest daughter) and I have each a set of Bracelet a Breloques and these are absolutely lovely šŸ™‚

Scene from 2010 Christmas Day

Posted on February 12, 2011 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

Been looking through the many photos in my files before I put them in my online data storage and back-up hard drive. Hubby still has to do the copying of these photos to CDs.

One of the photos that captured my attention was this “stolen shot” photo of my hubby and our two younger kids in hubby’s family living room during Christmas. The camera was positioned behind a wine glass on display, hence the slightly blurred photo. I blurred their faces a bit too.

Christmas

I know, it is a lovely Christmas setting, isn’t it? šŸ˜‰

The accent table in the middle has several decorative Christmas things on top of it. These have to be removed however when family members gather for lunches and/or dinner since the kids love to sit in the living room and eat there. Plates and glasses are placed on this table for the children while they eat sitting on big pillows on the floor. A special cocktail table holds the desserts in the dining room next to the dining table. This is where the children go to pick the sweets they like.

IĀ wouldĀ love to have accent tables like that in our living room but since I use the space there to do my hooping, I guess we would have to wait till I clear the room at the back of the house for that. As it is, the sofa set in our living room is pushed back against the walls whileĀ anotherĀ table went that way too.

Would have loved to have a stylish living room but the childrenĀ are ecstatic since they use the space to play with their toy cars.

*Stolen shot* means photo taken of persons without their consent or them knowing it.
