For  a change I’m not reviewing anything today. But I have other things to say before I go check some outdoor electric grills.

First, it’s a birthday of a friend so let me sing a  Happy, Happy Birthday to you (you know who you are).

Second, I might not be around online for awhile. Personal matters that seem obvious if you take into account my pregnancy. *smiles* But I hope it won’t be for long.

Next, this is so trivial, but I hope we can collect all Toy Story 3 toys before the promo ends. I really hope, because it seems that some Shell gasoline stations don’t have a ready stock of the toys whenever we have our tank filled * sigh*

Lastly, I’m placing an order to Indigomanila for some products that can be useful to me –maybe later. Am already so excited.

So there. Have a super wonderful day everyone.

Tan tananan……

The best thing about SmartMoney is we can now use it with our Paypal account!

With Paypal, it very much functions like your credit card or with the Unionbank Eoncard, which I used to have but have only used once with Paypal. BTW, Smartmoney is Mastercard-powered.

So all of you online junkies out there who use Paypal, now you know we have an option to use the Smartmoney.

I opened my Facebook today and tried to catch up with the news among my circle of friends and relatives.

One is getting engaged soon. Another is off for a free trip abroad (yup all expenses will be paid courtesy of a sponsor-how cool is that!). And more than a couple posted tons of photos taken during their vacations. And then there was one shout-out that says she’s still up and about packing for a vacation.  A vacation? Really everyone is going for a vacation! Or have been to one. Wooooow! Am so envious.

It’s really the time of the year to get away and chill out. But not for me. =( Not this time. Sure, I’ve read about Branson vacation packages, some tours and other packages but that’s that. Maybe sometime this year but definitely not before my baby is born.

Happy Easter everyone!

It’s also my cousin’s birthday today so we’re off to their place in the afternoon for a little feast. So excited to have a taste of roasted pig again. Yum!

Don’t you just love Post-it notes? I’m looking at one right now and I have to thank the High Heavens for that someone who is smart enough to have thought of making a sticky note for people who are a little OCD with lists. It absolutely makes my life easier (being  forgetful and all).

Oh by the way have you read the top rated diet pills these days? Me, nah-ah. Got to educate myself in a sec.

Merry Christmas to one and all!

Have I made a post about North Face bags? Can’t be too sure.

But I so dig North Face backpacks. And I should have made a blurb about it before. So anyway, I have one that’s a gift from a friend and it’s my favorite traveling companion -along with my pink Nalgene water bottle. *smiles*

My husband also has one green North Face backpack, which  I gave to him as advance birthday present. If I could find a little backpack for my toddler, then surely, you’ll see me queueing at the counter. 

I was viewing a punta cana all inclusive holiday package online and all I can say is “WOW!” Looking at the photos, I’m really wowwed at the beauty of the place. ANd I can’t help but feel so so thrilled. And envious to people who are already on their way to enjoying the sun, sand and sea there - because as much as I would love to have a vacation now, I just cannot do that. Not even if I have free tickets and hotel accomodation. 

For reasons I am not in control, I just can’t.

So for now, I’ll just torture myself with these photos. Maybe one day in the near future, when schedule and state of being will allow me to, the gods would look kindly at me and give me a special holiday treat. Then for sure, it would be a blast!

Happy birthday to me. Heheh. Wonderful day! I actually wanted to do a review post of the 3 Kumon workbook I recently bought for my son but  I wanted to have some time off writing and posting - okay   after I view these cardboard displays online.  *smiles* Just enjoy my day for now and I promise to my reviews in the next few days.

But can I just say in advance that the Kumon starter workbooks are so much fun.  So much so that my son has almost finished the first workbook that I bought for him.  Yipee! The other two books are recent acquisition and I know he like the exercises there too although not as much as the first one, but since we’re regularly doing the suggested exercises, I’m seeing that he’s making so much progress.

Will fill in some details next time.

I’m supposed to write a review about a great cleaning product I vowed to use until forever -hehe- but I’m so in the mood to just relax now. So I’ll just scoot and be back in a while.
