Sweet!

Someone has been sooo kind and sweet to send me a coupon code for an online digital scrapbooking shop. Maria, my one and only cousin who blogs (that’s why I adore her. Haha!) surprised me with a coupon emailed right into my inbox two days ago! (But if you know me well, I will wait for the shop to hold a sale before spending it so I can buy more. ;)) 

Thank you so much, Marytan (as we fondly call her). It was such a sweet gesture and I pray that may God reward your for your kindness and thoughtfulness and for being there for me during those trying times. :)

The Search is On!

One of the many things that we look forward to this year is the ending of DH’s contract. We are not excited about him, losing a job, but finding a new one. His current office will finally end it’s project after years of operation in the area. That’s the nature of NGOs, right?

Anyways, aside from looking for jobs online, he is also searching the World Wide Web for fast and affordable netbooks. He will be needing one since the laptop he’s currently using will be surrendered to his office once the contract ends.

Moreover, my mom is also requesting him to help her find a good netbook for her. She teaches part-time in two graduate schools and travels a lot. She claims she needs a a laptop to improve her teaching strategies. Fine. But she does not need one with a flashy and classy cover, right? Because that’s what she wanted! A red one, if I may add. DH has been insisting that it’s more expensive but works like the plain covered ones. Oh well… She knows what she wants and she has money to pay for it so who are we to complain, right? :)

Loneliness is Pricey

It’s been a lonely place down here and if I were to choose, I want to just click-click all day and all night. It takes my mind off the loneliness that is natural. Aside from playing Farm Town on Facebook again, I also indulge into online shopping - no waiting in line, no barcode scanners and traveling. Yeah, being lonely is pricey these days, if you ask me. I’d rather go online to look for nice things to splurge on rather than go to the mall. Joy, indeed. But the downside is that I have to wait for my items to arrive. Haha! One can’t have the best of everything, indeed!

Have a lovely Thursday wherever you are!

Another Step to Recovery

Someone’s gearing up for a short stay at the hospital and that’s me. I will be undergoing a D & C and I am so not looking forward to it. Though a dose of anesthesia is very much welcome since I want to sleep for looong time. I wanted to have it while DH is around but then I want this to be over. It has to be over and soon. So I can move on, so we can all move on.

I look forward to a better day tomorrow though.

God bless!
