I’m out this early to get a good gift for my Aunt Linda who’s birthday is on Sunday. To get an idea on what she would love to receive, I asked my cousin (her daughter) yesterday what her mom would like to get as a gift. She suggested that I get more of the wrinkle removing creams that her mom uses.

Looking at wrinkle cream reviews I found out that my Aunt is using one of the best anti wrinkle creams available. The problem is I can’t find any store selling that brand. Fortunately, a sales lady suggested a nearby mall that might have what I’m looking for.

And so I’m now in the mall (at McDonald’s) getting breakfast and using WiFi. I seem to have gotten here too early because it’s only 9 a.m. and the stores open at 10.  Anyhow, I hope that I find that cream fast because it’s only two days ’til my Aunt’s birthday.

Last Saturday I had fun playing around with the barcode scanner while my sister picks up things she would like to have for her wedding at the Bridal Registry. From Colorwave Pitcher Blue Dinnerware to the Mattress Pad-Queen Afi Crown Bed and Bath and Tefal Eureka Blu Cookware Set Kitchenware… of course, those are just suggestions to the would-be guests.

Then again, personally, I think having a Bridal Registry is the way to go nowadays; especially if you want to avoid having two or more rice cooker or toaster – it’s every newlywed’s nightmare. Also, knowing that you may be receiving a matching dining set to go with your furniture is definitely something to look forward to when opening the gifts after the wedding, don’t you think?

So, next time you decide to buy a wedding present, check out first if the couple’s listed at the gift registry.

All these cold winter nights is making me depressed for no reason at all. Maybe it’s because of the lack of sleep, or the idea of sleeping alone in my apartment without anyone to talk with. Yeah, maybe that is just it. My room mate left two weeks ago to study in Europe. She had been my room mate for two years and we became close friends. She was like a sister to me and now she’s so far away. We only chat a few hours a day because of her busy schedule. She still has most of her things in the room though, including the heated mattress pads she bought on the net. She told me that I can use her stuff until she returns next year. Looking at her stuff makes me miss her more…

Being a spa and massage addict, I’m constantly on the lookout for great spa filters – one with a huge and accurate database of spas and the services they offer, including the pricing and schedule.

Although there are existing databases of spas, at the moment, I haven’t found one that meets my requirements. There seems to be some important details missing every now and then. And most of the time, the reviews in those sites are not that good or looks like they were paid to do the reviews. I’m seriously considering putting up my own spa directory website with my personal review (perhaps have my fellow spa addicts friends do reviews as well). After all, who best to judge a spa than avid customers like me, right?

It’s my sister Ruth’s 18th birthday on the 31st! We’re planning to celebrate it at home to make the event more cozy and comfy. We’re deciding on having it at our rooftop or in our garage. Then again, I just remembered that our garage floor is still under renovation, so, it’s going to be an 18th birthday party under the stars!

It’s not going to be a big celebration. Just a few close friends and relatives, with beer, great food, and of course, videoke! I intend to turn the videoke sounds full blast on that night. Time to get my revenge on our inconsiderate neighbors who keeps singing, or rather croaking, in ungodly hours! Ahahaha!

Being in my mid-20’s, I’m quite concerned about my back acne. Generally, when you reach this stage, having acne should be a thing in the past. But for some hare-brained reason, this does not apply to me!

I know there are a lot of adult acne treatments available, but I’d rather not try them unless they’re highly recommended by a friend (should be tried and tested as well). I’m still thinking that this could very well be just due to stress. I hope I’m right. Until then, please feel free to recommend a great back acne treatment!

Guess what our office Christmas Party Theme was? It’s glam rock! Of course, it’s a given that there’s a price for the best-dressed male and female for the said event.

At times like these, I get to appreciate my sister Anne a little bit more than usual. Her sense of fashion has helped me gain a lot of admirable head-to-toe glances and even several introductions, I tell you. And that Christmas party was no exception. The price people are vying for is a significant cash price, which I want for myself. So I had Anne conceptualize my outfit for that night. She made me purchase a Michael Kors black leather studded zip gloves and 7 for All Mankind black leather ‘Orion’ tall harness boots to complete my glam rock outfit.

I didn’t win the best-dressed female, but I did get nominated in the top four. ^_^ I don’t mind not winning though because the only reason I didn’t get the first place was because they based it on the loudest hoot by the audience. My team in the office was small compared to others, so it was a given that the one with the bigger team will win – the clothes are just secondary. Anyway, everyone, even my boss and his wife acknowledged that I should have won. To me, that was enough. *curtsy*

Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

 

Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.

Yipes. It’s the season of parties and reunions. The time where we meet a lot of people and have the opportunity to flaunt ourselves in gay apparel. Then again, at the moment, I’m not pretty confident about the flaunting area. Aside from my loveable curls-that-looks-natural (I would like to thank Shine Girls for this), my love handles are just not cooperating!

Anyway, it’s not the end of the world for me. It’s not as if I’ve gained that much weight. After all, parties and reunions mean tons of free food! Imagine if you’re weight conscious during this time. Tsk tsk tsk… I’m pretty sure that those who are on diet mode will have nightmares of irresistible, mouthwatering food throughout this festive season.

To make sure though that I don’t get Santa’s belly after all the celebrations, I bought a fitness equipment to keep me in shape (if not tone down my belly). My friend Mark and I also signed up for Bikram Yoga next year. That way, we’ll definitely be gorgeous all throughout 2010.

It’s the holiday season, the season when new designs are released to the market, and the season when all department stores go on sale. It is also the time when we get to eat so much fat. From the Halloween party , to the thanksgiving dinner, then to the Christmas party, Reunions, and New year celebrations. We never stop partying during these times.

Last year, as I remember, I gained thirty pounds in just three months. I needed to take aerobics classes and fat burners just to trim down my waist. What’s worse is, right now I’m again craving for the turkey, and the ham, and the roast beef! I just can’t learn can I?

Anyhow, all ranting won’t do me any good but maybe some suggestions from you readers might help me do something about my cravings and my weight. I’ll be glad to hear your comments as long as they are not spam. Thanks a lot guys.

Pristine, my laptop who celebrated her 1st birthday last October 14, only has one gig of memory. My friend Mark advised that it’s high time we upgrade Pristine’s laptop memory into two gig. I have to agree though. There are a lot of great softwares in the market nowadays that I’m unable to utilize because of laptop memory problem.

According to Mark, it’s cheaper to buy it in cash than to use my credit card. So, I need to wait until next week, when my salary comes in. The good thing about that is, Mark’s willing to buy my current 1 gig memory. That means I’ll be able to save some for the upgrade! ^_^
