Today's happenings

What a boring title, I know.

Anyway, I woke up late this morning on the wrong side of the bed. I had an issue with Ane that I'd rather not discuss here. So I skipped brunch altogether. Although, I was sooooo hungry! Sheeesh. We cooked pancit bihon last night, and I ate a lot but that didn't satisfy me because it wasn't rice. Yeah, I was mad at someone and I punished myself. Well, that statement alone got me thinking: Huh?!?

Good thing we went out to canvass something that RL wants from here (for his baby car!) and Kuya J dragged us to Pick up Stix to grab some Asian food. Whew! We found out that the thing RL wants is cheaper than when ordered online so after we texted him, we paid for the DP already. :)

Then we dropped by an electronics' store but we haven't been there long when Joaquin decided he needed to poopoo! Now this boy has been potty trained pretty well and we are so proud of him. But his timing can just be sooooooo untimely? hhehehe. He just can't do it at home (well, he does most of the time). It's either he really can't control it or we spend too much time outside. Hehe.

A weebit later, we fetched Ate from work and we headed to The Winchester Mystery House, a tourist landmark here in SJ. Ane and I joined the 430pm tour. It would have been a very informative one but the family who joined us kept on cutting the tour guide so the poor guy seemed lost in his own words. The Victorian mansion was very interesting, though, and very eccentric at that. Afterwards, we walked through Santana Row, a very impressive upscale street that can be compared to Greenbelt :) We just pretended we belonged there, hihihi. Then off to Valley Fair mall for dinner and I also got this kikay stuff to add to my small BE possessions. :) I got it for $10 less courtesy of my sister's frequent buyer card. I am a girl! :) We also spent a few minutes at the LEGO store (man, those toys are really expensive huh? but fun to play with).

We got home before 9am and I started surfing the net. I'm still a bit disappointed at Ane but when he agreed to let me subscribe to this for a year, I can't help but smile. Nasusuhulan din naman ako. Now if only I can make him let me get this, this and join this, then I would be the happiest wife, for now. Hahaha!

And now, it past midnight...I need to get some Zzzzzzz's now. Need to be up early tomorrow for another day of escapades! :) But before that, I'll share this:



You Are 70% Weird

You're so weird, you think you're *totally* normal. Right?
But you wig out even the biggest of circus freaks!





I just found it funny that I had a hard time answering Mami Carmie's tag when I am 70% weird according to the quiz. Hehe. And another:


You Will Be a Cool Parent

You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need.
You can tell when it's time to let kids off the hook, and when it's time to lay down the law.
While your parenting is modern and hip, it's not over the top.
You know that there's nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager... or a drill sergeant!



Ain't that that nice to know? :) Haaaayyyyyyy. Good night!


Stumped!

Wednesday, June 20, 2007

Hehe, I am stumped and actually don't know what to share! Isn't that kinda funny? For the last few weeks, I couldn't keep myself away from the internet because I had too much to say. And now, this. Hihi. So forgive me if I end up blabbing.

I wasn't able to blog yesterday because 1) I did our laundry, just a small pile this time; 2) Ane and Kuya J was fixing the local network so the printer will work with the laptop, they took too much time; 3) We went out to buy some stuff for Joaquin's birthday party on the 30th; and 4) I had a blast downloading things/freebies that I lost track of time and actually slept at 130am!

Ane wasn't happy. He hates it when I forget the time. Can't blame me, I was stuck in my own world.

Anyway, while out yesterday, we passed by Barnes & Noble in Eastridge, well just to check the place out again (Joaquin also wanted to play in the Kids' area so we gave in). We found the magazine my FIL wanted us to buy for him, although we got him the latest one. He wanted us to get him even just the backissues, but they are only sold in CD's. And then my sister came rushing to show me the latest issue of Digital Scrapbooking mag. I just had to buy it! Believe me, Ane wasn't able to stop me. Hihi. The mag was for $6.99 and guess what? It included a coupon over at Scrapping Garden for a mega kit worth $9.99! What a steal, don't you agree? So while downloading the kit, I remembered to hop on over at Ikeagoddess...and that's when I forgot about the time...one blog led to another, one freebie to another awesome freebie (yay! I just exposed myself -- a freebie sucker!!!!)...I can't believe I missed a lot of things in just a month!

Whooot I just remembered to share this trivia (I keep on cutting myself!): Did you know that the designer of the new Scrapping Garden logo (not the current one in their website,I guess they haven't updated the blog yet) is a Filipina? Ate Jen is a fellow Bebot, and a real talent. I saw the logo in the magazine, and I told my sis about the story. Can't help but be proud. Hihihi. I've met her once before during the Bebot's EB :)

There. I wasn't as stumped as I thought I was. Hehe.
