I Survive (something from shopping and others)!

A day before yesterday, I went for a walk aside from I have something to go which my DH ask me to do. And I love what I did, yes, I love it! Ha! Aright, I seldom go outside but if I go and I can pass-by a store or shopping areas, I usually window shop and just buy something for one or two (usually only, haha). I shop either for myself, or for DH, house stuff or kitchen stuff. But the last time (as I said the day before yesterday), I said to myself before I went that I will not buy something to which I always disappoint my goal before but I did it! Yes, I did not buy anything. I even did not window shop which I find it amusing and fun but takes a lot of time on me. Sometimes it is a stress-reliever though it is also stressful while doing it but the happiness what count so all-in-all, I am happy. The survival of having not able to bought anything from the last time was a good feeling. A good feeling for my goal. Something I could say, I am already on my right track of finding my time management and being goal-oriented person. What more I can say is "I am happy", woohoo! But of course that is for the name of time-management and money matters. Difference from needs and wants. Lacking of something. For happiness and for saving, for the next shopping. ;-) Ah the life of a stay-at-home-wife. I choose a place to live happy, lovely and lively! :-)

Brown Flat Shoes

It was the month February this year when I had a blast of shopping shoes not for one pair but it was more than five. Nope, it was not in a day but whenever I go my brisk walking moment that also the time I was (still currently but not that so since I already have my needed pairs shoes) chasing for pairs of sale, and you know what is it -- yes shoes! I love shoes, dress and purse/bags but mostly the first two. ;-) It was in my list of so long ago to own pairs of shoes whenever I like to pair it with my outfit of either going to mass, just for walking, casual, attending occasions or stuffs like that. You know. I was not lucky of being born with silver or gold spoon but I am not bitter. It was just a wish or a hope that one day I can own it, not with others kind or hand-down but brand new ones. And I got it! ;-) Though most of them were from sale but I cannot be happier of owning it. Ha! ;-) I call it a "need" since it is uncomfortable of wearing a sports shoes in a formal moments, don't you think? Okay, that is all about my passion for shoes. My struggle and saving so I can buy from my own sweat. I save and buy whenever I have extra money. I buy similar style, brand and almost the same as I call it twin but only differs in color. I also bought of about the same style (just like below) of same color but of course it is different as what you can see.

It is both suede-made shoes skin and I so love its color. The comfort I got is awesome. Now that I already have my shoes need for any occasion, I am now confident with myself. Oops, it is already a mushy moment, eh? And do you know that I keep my shoes in its boxes or a ziploc-cellophane-like big bags (to keep-away from dusts)? Hahaha. You will laugh but that's how I care my shoes. Hehehe. So then, have a great day all! Have fun! ;-)

Twin Pair of Sandals?

You might call it weird but I call it "twin sandals" as it has the same design, brand, look and just the way you can see --- only its color differs. You can call me weird too should you like but I like sandals or shoes with the same style/brand with three pairs of each but just differs in its colors. My main colors (including dresses, shirts, boots and some sort of accessories) are black, white and brown. So to complete the package I should have the three colors of each as I say so. Hahaha! I just like these sandals (that was why I bought though it is a bit pricey even if it was in sale) as I can tell it is durable and the best is because it is in sale! Ha! I love sale, you know! ;-) Isn't that a good deal? :)

This do not have brown strap but its insole is brown, so safe. Wink. I meant to give its place in here but my gosh, it was four months ago and it just now have gotten its area. Ooh well. ;-) Busy as a bee, eh?! :-)

Am Glad I Found You---Comfy Slippers!

The title says it all. Last week I had my shopping gift. It was some sort of special day. To tell you, though I already know what to buy because I think it thoroughly what would be a need and just wants (of course I have to prioritize my needs first) then I write it down on a piece of paper so I won't forget and things would go smoothly unlike if you forgot, it consumes time and effort to remember, don't you think? It is stressful going shopping huh! Yeah, but nevertheless because it is stressful with happiness and smiles on our faces after wards. Okay, this pair of slipper was not on my list because I know it is kinda expensive and sort of luxury on my end. But ola! I bumped it in while sorting what I wanted (of course I was looking for sale), and so happy to see the price was down to 50 percent. What can I say? It's " woohoo! Hahah! I got you! " ;-) It is size six and a half (6 1/2) which is surprisingly and first time I can have a size like this when it comes to slipper (I can wear 4' high heeled pump shoes but not slipper) but thanks I found this "mbt-like" . It is so comfy on my toes and sole. It is the most comfortable slippers I had, so far.

And it glows in the dark. Ha! It is pretty color white and black. Sureness, I wear it at home since I cannot go out often. ;-) It won't hurt my sole. And I will wear this when having my brisk walking when the sun is not that shine. I hope there would be like this that has strap at the back and I couldn't be happier (but that is another story, haha)! It's a good day (with all smiles and winks)!

Neck Ties for Him

my husband in half {without his head and hands} wearing a neck tie

Do your husband wear neck tie? Is your wife wears one? The latter question seems appear once in a blue moon if you can see women/wives in work or in occasions wear neckties but men do. I guess most men do wear tie in special occasions and formal business meetings or gatherings. Some also buy it as a gift. My husband is one of the peeps that mens ties is one their need pairs to their work suits. DH does wear neck tie going work and almost all of his working days {he works from Monday to Thursday starting seven in the morning up to six o'clock in the evening of forty hours every week} on his working days since he works an indoor job. He has several neck ties hang in a tie rack but he is still planning to buy more along with working long sleeves suit for an upgrade of his clothings.. :-) And I could not agree more because he deserves it and I like a lot of cool neck tie for him. What about you, do you like to buy your husband neck ties? Are you particular with the style, color and such to pair with its suit?

Shopping and Beyond

As what women love to do during spare time or for stress therapy, shopping is the first in mind (not all but mostly) and I am not an exemption of this. :-) Be it as window shopping or buying impulsively or intentionally, shopping makes me happy! I like to shop stuffs for me, for my husband, and for my love ones. Usually I like to buy clothes, shoes, pens, notebooks or papers, sandal, girly stuffs, cooking ware or kitchen stuffs, home stuffs, grocery/foods and many others. :-) As much as I like to shop, I would like it more if the goods that I will buy is in one location so I do not need to hop-in on the car to and fro. That would be tiring then.. It is just that it is convenient and more manageable if it is in one location. Going in on traditional store location and shopping online have alike but they do have too differences and it is up to the shopper to figure-out what is better to do. Shopping in traditional store location is helpful to determine sizes and shape. However, it is a bit tiring compare of shopping online that is why many folks shop online nowadays especially if they have the necessary information of what to shop and the sizes or shapes and alike at the comfort of one's home. Shopping online at the comfort of our home is cool especially if we have coupons like expedia coupons that deal with coupons for Amazon, Apple, Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, Dell, Sears, Staple, Gap, Target, Home Depot, Pet Smart, Zappos, and many more that we like to get stuffs that we like to acquire. Having coupons in shopping saves a lot that is why I like to stash and apply for my shopping stuffs whenever I have. In that way, quality would not be compromised at the same time we will be tired of walking. :-) Convenience and quality are important and that should go together, what do you think, isn't that awesome or what? Enjoy doing stuffs that you like.. have a great one.. (~_~)

My entry were the stuffs I got two days ago. Our celebration with my DH was just simple but full of love. *winkz* It is the thought that counts! Below were some but sorry for the not quality images because I got it at night and the light was not that so bright beside the fact that I only use my camera on my cellphone, my digicam battery was dead and I had not charged it. Sorry for the dim images below. Here were some of DH gift for me. I gave him chocolates and special valentine card which was not shown on the pics. He gave me shopping spree gift too which were not on the images as well. It will be shown by further demand.. lol.. Again, sorry for the dim images:

My Hair Shed Like a Dog!

My gosh.. DH said why I shed a lot and I cannot agree more. I shed like a dog! It is shameful but our carpet has a lot of long hairs. And nobody has long hairs in our house except me. Every time my husband does a vacuum chore in our bedroom he always let me see what he got, that is a lot of hair that the vacuum could not manage to pull it off. Actually I do not like him to do the vacuum because he likes to do it impromptu, meaning he does not let me know before he does the thing and ended up telling me "you shed like a dog or a lot!".. lol.. a dog? lol.. Though it is quiet funny but at the same I am also scared that I will end up look like has a disease and about to be bald. :-( I can see some of my friends (online and offline) told me their problem as well as to shedding hairs. I often ask, is this normal or what? Well, I have a lot of info about how to prevent hair loss but often neglected the idea because either it cost much or cost much a time. Usually when my hair is unmanageable, I just tie it in ponytail to which in that way I would not comb it anymore to prevent more hair loss. Combing it through my fingers, is what I usually do for comfort to not shed more. It was just yesterday that I manage to buy something in the store hoping my hair would like it and became manageable and prevent from shedding a lot and from breakage. I just have to shell-out some bucks as long as there is a progress. I bough two different stuff aside from the shampoo of same brand. And I would get it often when my hair likes it. So far, it has progress and hopefully this would continue in the long run.

Saturday Clouds Scene Share (SCSS) #10

It is Saturday already, it is time for watching some clouds up in the sky. This was taken lately as my husband and me went to Kohl's Store. Actually, it is just me who went down to the store because DH was not in the mood for such. He just gave me some money for the stuffs that I wanna bought. He gave me with an allowance (more than).. and was happier.. (LOL).. My target was to buy belts (black and brown; one for each) to suit with my Levi's pants that I also wore during the quest at the store so I can fit it directly and see the difference. I wanted also to buy handkerchiefs and for DH jacket or coat for work suit (somewhat like a blazer; he do not like to wear blazer by the way so it is just somewhat like). I then proceeded first to Men section looked for the coat when suddenly I was bumped into sunglasses, and holah! --- I was hooked on fitting it because there is that style of the sunglasses that I like ever and that consumed my time... hemmmm.. impulsive window shopper eh... :-(... Anyhow, I got the belts which suits to my jeans after such fitting with the sunglasses but for the coat, unfortunately the store do not have it no more---they are out of stock of that Dockers brand and style that DH liked. I wanted to buy to the other brand with a little twist of style yet, DH said that we would just look it(look-alike) at another store. It ended then with a contented and a happy face. :-) And on my way to the parking lot, I saw the clouds! Yes, the clouds and I took a couple of shots then headed back home with DH. I also got fascinated with it on our way home, so I took another shots to which the images below came, and here it is:

beautiful clouds with the American Flag

That's some of the shots I got for the clouds scene this Saturday. I hope you guys enjoy watching the view for the Saturday Clouds Scene Share... have fun!

Bathroom Galore

One of the first part of our home that need to attend to is the bathroom. It has to be cleaned, and presentable basically for the people in the house. And so it need a constant maintenance depending upon the materials used. With that, some bathrooms need fixing and the thought of shopping for it is a need, maybe. It is actually your own thinking if you really need to get a new stuffs or maybe remodel it or such.

You may then find yourself in a place which you have to think it thoroughly. Let us not forget that bathroom is one place in the house that needs to be cleaned the most, after the kitchen.

Dismayed and Shopped!

Whenever I feel bored, lazy, tired, disappointed, pissed, or dismayed---I feel like going anywhere away from the usual place I am. Oftentimes, I go walking so I feel the perspiration running over my skin. I also like to work household chores and clean our home unless I am tired and lazy. :-) And not long enough I discovered that going window shop or much better if there's something to shop(even just one or two pieces) so it's not shameful to the store. :-)

Okay, I went out lately to do some errand on my GC. I went to the bank and want something (of course with my husband's knowledge), was dropped by my DH after the day discussing and planning about it. It was on my mind that an employee told that the statement would be available the day after we went to the establishment (bank), we didn't said anything, and leave. And so we waited, and it was two days after I (today) that I made to went onto but to my dismay it wasn't available yet! D**n! Definitely, I was dismayed! I left and headed back home. I then saw myself in the shopping store and window shopped, then got something. I consume one and a half hours for that. It ended I got a blue fit gear and a laundry bag (another type). :-) I was looking for something else but it didn't pass my taste so I decided to look for it the next time.. I was then relieved a bit.. (LOL).. at least.. I managed to catch the other one (bills) online and tried the bank statement too but will try again tomorrow. DH is determined to pass the papers tomorrow to which I was a little bit skeptical. Ahhh.. let's see! Alright, shopping is enjoyable though... :-)

Invest on Gold Coins and Gold Bullion

Have you heard the famous quotation, "Go for gold?" Absolutely great one to consider nowadays since gold is a good investment.

Investing on gold can be into bullion, coins, or jewelry like bracelet, necklaces, earrings, rings, and the like. When a businessman has a jewelry or gold coin shop, he's into bullion. He's the one who will do the process to have the desired outcome resulting into individual coin, or jewelry. But when one don't want into complications, folk just buy the gold coins, or other ready-made stuffs. When you want to buy gold coins or bullion, or probably wants to have Free Gold Guide first so you have more knowledge about it, Gold Coins Gain is offering such, all you need to do is head on to its informational link, read, choose, fill-up the form and submit.

Visited My Friend

The day before yesterday, I was with my friend Aurelyn. She always told me when can I go there in their house, and alas I did! (~_~) It's been 2 months already that we didn't saw each other. The last time we met was her baby shower with my friend Analou. She's been telling me that I should have to visit her before she will deliver her baby girl (November 20 is her scheduled delivery). So we saw each other with her mother-in-law who's on-the-go or an easy-to-get-along with. Then came Cesar(Aurelyn's husband) after about an hour. So there we ate and sing-a-long! (~_~) Haven't took a picture due to busy singing.. whew! I enjoyed a lot plus I had my bar-b-q viand, adobong chicken, banana turon, cassava "suman" and went to market after the notary of my affidavit as them as my friends for my renewal of green card and it was success! I took home dried fish bisugo(bakay) four packs big, ready made sisig and beef steak, Kraft chiz whiz cheese dip with the famous pandesal as well as other stuff which I can't find it in our neighborhood stores. Whew! What a blast! I enjoyed singing with Aurelyn and Cesar. Though it's mostly girl chitchat, am glad Cesar was with Aurelyn and me. Hubby then got me (since he had works to finish that's why he didn't joined) at about 8 pm. (~_~) I was happy! (~_~)

DirectTV Satellite Television

Cable is one source of important entertainment stuff in household nowadays and count my husband for that. He subscribed to how many channels and paid more than the average cable payment. It's his main entertainment stuff. After work and whenever he's at the house you can see him watching TV either lying on the bed or sitting at the chair in our bedroom. That's why we have three TV, one is out already because it retired, that happened the last day of switching all television to digital ones. The other one is small about just 16 inches enough for one person. lol. And the other is a thin one of 36 inches. Am just telling how important television is for entertainment, news, current events, and more.

Though there are some don't have a cable TV and it's just okay as long as there is a DVR, yet having a cable TV is far better to those who want to be entertained more. Now, if you happen of planning to transfer to a new house, you may like to check DirectTV to help you with it, or to compare it with other lines. Good luck!

The HeadBand

headband

Here's the latest headband I got from Kohl's. I got that together with the dresses I shopped with hubby's treat. I like hair stuffs a lot though some of it I don't actually use often. I just stash and make it my collection. Anyway, that headband above cost eight bucks each and it turned out four dollars worth (each) since that was 50% off. I liked that one because the end side is rubber-liked and the whole stuff is somewhat like a flexible one. Though that headband didn't stretch but because of the rubber close fashionably at the end, it will stretch that makes it flexible. And it is not breakable (unless the rubber will break itself). All in all it's far like my old rubber band. So that's it, it's just my hair stuff diary. I actually use one of it now.. (~_~). Anyway, do you think it's fashionable?

The Husband Keeps His Promise

I was busy lately because I went to Kohl's. What I did? .. of course shopping.. (~_~).. It is just that my husband promised me week ago that he will give me something to shop. And he did keep it. Am overwhelmed because I got one pair of brown "iz" pants and long sleeves(formal), "hangten" shirt, black "SayWhat" fall whole dress (just above the knee, not short), and hair stuffs. I chased shoes to pair with it but since I already have my black and brown boots, I just keep it and planned to buy online. I chased something online, and I will check it back if it is still available or will find another. Hemm.. I just love black and brown for my basic stuffs. Ooh well... who don't want to look good? I just pampered myself, I mean hubby just pampered me for being good to him. Perhaps I just deserve it?.. (~_~) Happy weekend folks!

The Short Pants

The short pants are good for summer. Mostly women shops for shorts since it's a hot humid weather during this season. And am one of it but the difference is just I only shop some. (~_~) Some girls will use this in fall or spring season but with something thick under of it. But when summer? These are essentials! I seldom wear shorts though when going out for some reasons. Anyway, just a diary before my best shorts will turn into so so..

What about you, do you wear shorts always?

A Coming Busy Weekend

This coming weekend will be a busy day for me and hubby too because he will be the one driving me to and fro on my friend's baby shower this coming Saturday afternoon. Before that day, I have my doctor's appointment for follow-up of my results. So far the pap smear is alright. It will just be the other stuffs result but that's alright since the scary part is okay. And the third one that will keep me busier this weekend, aside from normal household chores and blogging activity, is to buy gifts for my friend's baby shower after the doctor's appointment. Well, I will be having fun in the baby shower soon! (~_~) I hope my friend Analou can come, depending upon the arrangement since her hubby can't be with her because the work is running after him. (~_~) Anyway, that's it--will be a coming busy weekend! How about you folks, where will you be this coming weekend?
