Old and Heavy

I've been blogging nonstop about my recent weight gain. No matter what I do, I just keep on gaining those pounds. I wonder if it has something to do with Sandy not nursing that often anymore. I absolutely have no time to exercise because my 24 hours a day is already booked. I don't want to try weight loss pills like Orovo or Xenical until I'm absolutely sure that it's healthy. Besides, my weight gain is still under 10 7lbs so I'm not worrying that much. We'll see next month though. If things become worse, I might just wake up early and hit the treadmill. Thinking about it just now makes me want to lie in bed some more.

Domesticated Houseband

The Husband is at it again. He's organizing our room because he's bored. It's okay most of the time because he's good at maximizing space. He does this whenever our room gets crowded so he will move the furniture around to create a new look. This time, he wants to use my mother-in-law's wine racks as a TV table to which I strongly disagreed. First, it's not his furniture. Second, wine racks? Inside the room? He probably saw something similar on TV. It will never work, though. It might have a nice effect on our old bedroom, but since Sandy was born, our room already resembles a playhouse. So, a wine rack inside a room full of disney stickers and poster? Go figure.

Dreams

Tried one of those funny quizzes again. I love dreaming because my dreams are usually always vivid and something that can be used on Hollywood movies. My friends love to hear about them too and one of them told me to write it down because I might end up with a nice screenplay.

Anyway, I know they get too creative and overboard but I wasn't expecting the result below.

What Your Dreams Mean...

Your dreams seem to show that you're a bit disturbed... but nothing serious. You may have a problem you're trying to work out in your sleep. Overall, you are very content in your life. You have a very vivid imagination and a rich creative mind. You secretly want to hide your dreams from your waking mind.

What Do Your Dreams Mean?

A bit disturbed, eh? I don't think so. I'm lucky to say that I have few nightmares my whole life.

Kids and Jewelries

I was looking at The Husband's baby photos and saw how he used to wear a necklace and bracelet on some of his pictures. As an adult, he's not crazy about men's jewelry so when I showed him the photos, he laughed and told me he was too young to know any better. And he probably didn't have any choice back then. My mother-in-law loves jewelry so a lot so it must be her doing. When Sandy was only about three months old, my mom-in-law already gave her a gold bracelet with diamonds. Up to this day, she never fails to tell me how unfortunate that Sandy have no piercing because she would have bought her diamond studs. Well, The Husband is to blame. He didn’t want to pierce Sandy’s ears because he believes that it’s her body so she should be the one to decide what she wants to do with it. I doubt if he’d feel the same way if Sandy’s 16 year old version will decide to pierce her eyebrows and tongue LOL.

Spacify

I always feel like a kid inside a toy store whenever I visit websites selling furniture. Take Spacify.com for example. All my dream furnitures are there - comfy sofa beds / day beds, five-star-hotel type bathroom vanities, Martha Stewart-ish kitchen accessories and many many more. I like their bedroom sets in particular because everything that you need is already there and they match! You can even copy the color of the walls if you want to.



And just take a look at this cute bunk bed. Very stylish and chic. With a few change in colors and accessories, I can use this design for Sandy's room.

Talkies

My mom is talking nonstop about home insurance ever since she attended a seminar about it. As much as I love her, sometimes I just pretend that I'm listening to the importance of it all when what I'm really doing is read my ebook LOL. She's a real estate agent and need to attend these kinds of functions from time to time. Everytime she just came from a new seminar, she'll make sure to tell me all about it, in detail. From the bulleted topics, the venue, even the food and drinks. Most of the time, I love to see her all psyched up but if I'm busy, I just make sure to nod my head every 10 minutes. :)

Horsey Horsey

The little girl riding Herbert the Horse.



She didn't want to ride at first. But when she got the hang of it, she asked if she could run while pushing my hand away. As if I'd let her run! I can't even keep my left hand away from her except that one minute so she'll have a picture riding on her own.

Wishy Washy

It seems fractional ownership is the latest popular investment these days. I've been seeing plenty of flyers and brochures from properties in Tagaytay, Batangas, and even Boracay that offers this kind of ownership. I wish we could get one though. But at the rate we're going, we'd probably better off working overseas before we can buy our dream house. Don't get me wrong; there are so many good properties that are just within our budget. But I'm not crazy about paying mortgage for more than 10 or 20 years. I prefer if we can do it in three or five so we don't have to worry about obligations just in case something happens in the future.

Time for a new TV set

Our TV of 4 years broke down last Sunday. I felt a bit sad because it was one of the first appliances that we bought when The Husband and I were just starting out. It's a 27" colored TV set that we bought at Surplus for only Php3,000. The Husband doesn't share what I feel; he's actually a bit pissed because he can't play his PS2 anymore. We have another TV inside our room but he's not allowed to watch or play there when Sandy's asleep LOL. I feel bad for him too because watching TV is his only way to relive stress from work. I might consider letting him use my LCD monitor. We'll need an lcd mount though because it's hard to watch movies, let alone PS2 when it's on my computer table.
