Shopping is one of my favorite things to do. It is one way to ease my boredom, stress and pain. If only I have tons of money I would have shopped every day.. Well, life is sometimes challenging, no matter how much money you get you still have to go shopping for your needs. It is still way different to shop anything what your heart desires. If only I am rich.. I have my friend who is a millionaire and boy she just go shopping every time she wants to. How lucky she is! Anyway, someone like me that I have to stretch my budget to other important things I have to canvass from one store to the others so I could find the best deal there is. I just can't afford to spend big time as I know there's more cheaper that could be found somewhere else. Just be practical. Since I have started working I know how hard it is to find money, with your own hardwork you have to be careful spending. I used to be a big spender back then as money was easy for me to capture. Hubby was there to provide me anything I want. Of course he still does until now yet I want to do it on my own and the fact that I want to help him also. All that I want to experience through my hardwork and I am thankful for this kind of opportunity. At least I do have job experience here in USA before moving back home for good. What else could I do staying at home anyway, I for sure will only get so bored since my daughter is already going to school. I have to use my time wisely and productively, although, I admit it is really tiring to work, even then I only take a part time job. I know now how it feels receiving your paycheck and you just don't want to spend it carelessly. When I buy something I try to find a coupon before shopping online for me to use every time.

Saving is my thing since I also need to save for some other important matters.We don't know what will happen in the future days so we have to save and prepare for all that. Needing emergency cash might occurs so just be prepared all that to save for rainy days. Therefore, if you guys are interested to find a coupon before shopping browse through online at frugaldad.com

I splurged myself tonight, several things I brought home from the store. I love the GUESS wallet I got plus some make up and new blouse. It wasn't really my plan to go out and shop since I was so busy cleaning the house today and was to tired to prepare myself. However, hubby had to ask me if I have had wanted to go to grocery store with him, well, I couldn't say no since it has been a long time I went with him and I didn't want him to get disappointed. Plus not to mention I had to find Nicole's outfit for her play at school on Friday. Well, I barged in to two stores but to no avail of her dress I was looking for. Instead shopping for Nicole's stuff I got mine. Well, I am satisfied tonight with what I got.

I guess Nicole just gets to wear what she got in her closet.  

Valentine's Day is coming up next month. I bet my daughter would receive kids valentines gifts from school and of course from us parents. Since she has been doing great at her studies I am willing to give anything she wants. It is always exciting every afternoon she brings good news. I am very glad that she never gets tired of going to school. I was way opposite of her. When I was small, I don't like to go to school but had wished to have the time click faster so I could go home right away.. lol! Yet, I had to go and took no absences as I am very afraid I would fall behind and get low grades. I had to sacrifice. It wasn't as enjoyable as what my daughter is experiencing this time. She goes to school as to meet her friends and doing great academically at the same time.

I can't be thankful enough.

It looks like I have tons of things to do tomorrow such as doing laundry, cleaning the house and online task. Waaaa, as if I have all the power, yet I know I can do it all. A superwoman for one day.. I am very drowsy right now yet I am holding it back as I have one more thing to finish. I already have checked Nicole's school uniform as I always do every night before bed time. I make sure she has everything she needs before going to school. I can't afford her to miss school even for just a day.

It says it is going to snow tomorrow and hopefully it won't be that bad. I haven't confirmed how much we could get and how low the temperature will be. I have just heard the news from someone and I must check it myself online so my daughter would wear the exact uniform just in case she will join play at the park during recess time. I can't afford to have her catch cold once again, as she just got over it. Will see.

I am going to Banana Republic one of these days as I want to get more new clothes for myself. Since I work I just got addicted to shop more. It is silly sometimes that most of my hard earn just only goes for new clothing as I don't want to wear the same outfit all throughout the week at work. Every day must have to be different. Thankfully, I have stumbled banana republic coupons that I could print out and bring it out to the store. It could save me big time indeed.

 I had a great dinner, which was my husband's kaldereta and some of the foods I took home yesterday from my friend's party. I just couldn't go to bed right away as I am still full. I have to wait a little bit more, it is not good to go to sleep while still stuffed.

On the other thing, I haven't talked too much about my daughter's achievement and developmentat school lately. She actually brought her 2nd quarter report card last week. I am very proud of this little girl of mine. She is one smart fella. She does excellent job all the time.

I just got home from partying with friends. We had been invited at ate Lyn and Rodolfo's house since two weeks ago and we only just made it today. We had so much fun today. Ate Lyn is such a great hostess, just too bad her husband wasn't present as this was working. He is still coming from work at this hour yet we couldn't wait to see him since kids have school tomorrow. We have them get ready for bed as soon as possible. Today they have had their day off as it's Marthin Luther's Day.

Lyn, is such a great cook and her husband. I couldn't believe I have such amazing friends all through the years. It has been great!

Buying this store was the riskiest thing I’ve ever done but I just knew when I hit my ten year at my old company I needed to make a change. I found this place online and made an offer so you know, I felt good about taking on something new at this stage in my life. It’s not like I don’t have plenty of experience to get me through and at the end of the day I knew I would be successful if I put my mind into it. I looked into business security systems and had my sister come in to do some designing (she’s got a really good eye for that kind of stuff) and then I hired an accountant to help me get all my finances in order. I love being part of my own little company but you know, I knew that things would sort themselves out after a couple of years. My business sense has always been good and I have a good head for picking the right things!

I am finally done ironing Nicole's uniform. Hurray for that! She had her hot bath tonight and ready to venture out tomorrow at school once again.. lol! She got all her stuffs ready tonight, especially her books that must be turned into library sometimes tomorrow.

I couldn't believe holidays are over now and it is start winding. I hope people weren't careless of spending their savings and credit cards during holidays, otherwise, it is still their heavy burden in the end. Thankfully, hubby and I were very careful. We didn't need those lavish gifts. We have everything we need. I realized all those new gadgets won't give you long lasting enjoyment in life. I've been there and done that. I am very proud of myself to be able to hold back asking all those from Santa.. I have been good. We are doing great last year.. most of all no using of credit cards. Well, in the first place hubby has never approved of  me to use that plastic card.

Just enjoy life what it is, don't need to be boisterous. The tendency of being one is that your so called friends will also do the same way towards you, a never ending show. Just calm down and always be humble. That way you couldn't meet any occurring problem by comparing to each other, and what you have. Yet have you ever shared what you owe?. lol!

It feels good that every time you go out, you don't owe anything from the bank. It is not because my husband has a decent pay I have to spend carelessly.

I am just so tired right now, as I had sleepless night. I couldn't wait to come home this afternoon from work as I had Filipino foods that I brought from friend's party. I also needed to eat them before they spoiled. Hubby doesn't want anything would go bad in the ref, so it was just perfect timing that I got hungry I was on the way home. Now, I am so stuffed and I guess I am going to dance for half hour later before I knock out in bed.. lol! That if I still have a little bit strength that's left in me I don't want to ever gain weight anymore. But what can I do? In this kind of occasion foods are just everywhere.

Christmas is coming very soon and I could just guess everyone is panicking to shop for their love ones presents. For the newly wed couple who are just starting their life as one, for sure it is going to be a lot of expenses to start on their own. Lucky who could get their house right away and it's furniture. But to those who wished  Santa will bring in a dining room furniture los angeles as their Christmas present, well, who knows, that might happen.

Now, I am wondering what I am getting since I have been good all year round I still couldn't see Christmas presents underneath the tree from Santa for me yet. What could it be? Surprise me Santa!

Yey I get to spend my time with my daughter today as it is her Chrismas break from now til January the 3rd I think. I miss her so much! She is a pretty noisy right now but I don't mind. Her dad went to work two hours ago and it just me and her at home right now. Gosh, this little girl is easily getting bored. I need to do something that she can enjoy with. The reason why she loves to go to school as plenty of activities to do over there. I told her to go read her books for now while I am kind of busy doing my thing online. That is her favorite past time, also the arts and crafting.

It is my dream to be able to play piano since small. I am very engrossed to it. However, before I could proceed to learn I need my own piano and I am thankful that there is a free piano lessons online at pianomother.com. This is designed for players of all levels and this is where I belong. If I was driving I could have gotten my piano lesson around my area but since I don't have any confidence every little dream I have been put off. Well, I know there is always the right time for me and this website I have found just right now is the perfect place for me to learn even just staying at the convenience of my home.

To tell you honestly, I totally forgot how to read music, and piano notes. I have to start over again and the pianomother.com is giving me another chance to learn all that, plus the piano lessons that I could never get from any other places. I honestly am excited to take this lesson very soon. I love music so much as well as my daughter, maybe the two of us would learn together. It would be more fun!

Therefore, to all of you guys who dream to learn to play piano you should check out the site now and enjoy! Grab the chance now, as it is all FREE!

What a miracle that it got sunny right now. Thanks God! It has been very cold since November and it is no fun at all. This is the time of the year that I want to escape to the warmer place like back home. It is hot and I don't care how humid it is. In a cold place not only you will suffer chilling but also you will get crack lips and wearing those hassle jackets. It is too much to bear. You could hardly move around as your body just want to keep in one corner of the house. The reason why people gain weight  easily in here.

One thing that we haven't given to our daughter yet is that taking her to disneyworld. We were in Florida several times yet she was still very small, so hubby and I decided just to bring her in when she knows all about it. It's a waste of time and energy bringing small ones unknowledgeable. Hopefully, soon hubby will surprise us with the disney packages as our Christmas present, as I honestly eager to be there. The place brings out the child in me, with all the princesses, theme parks, and more to enjoy look very fun and exciting.

Well, who knows I could hear some good news one of these days..

Just got home from having dinner with friends at Cheesecake Factory in the mall. Actually, I ate a lot today which is bummer, as sweet goodies were flooding at work today, had my lunch meal I bought during breaktime plus before meeting friends hubby had brought me to restaurant. Gosh! It was just too much and I am afraid I gained too much today. It's overwelhming. When I came home hubby and daughter have already gone to sleep. My friend took me back home.

Right now, I am busy doing laundry.

 I just got home from shopping. Well, this shopping of mine is not for splurging myself, well, maybe part of it, but it is literally for work clothes. Yeah, hubby was right that salary will only go for clothes and it's not even worth it especially if your hour rate is not high. For some others it is as I get more than minimum rate, but for us it is pretty low.

I even had wanted to stay home, I didn't feel like to go out do anything as it is quite cold, however it's required, as the team are going to meet the CEO of the company. We have a corporate visit sometimes soon. They hand picked the best workers to be able to meet these VIP, and I am one of those. I am honored.

Hubby is on the way out to school to pick up our daughter. I wonder what will be her latest news.. lol!
