Nice tiles

Jacq — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:46:30 +0000

I was browsing the pages of the home decorating magazine I just bought and I fell in love with the mosaic tiles of a bathroom they featured. I know it costs a ton to have these tiles installed but the end result is just beautiful. I would love to have one like that in our bathrooms (I guess I can keep dreaming lol), maybe all the walls but just one wall to act like the focal point.

No more holidays

Jacq — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:27:08 +0000

As I will be giving birth birth next summer I already said goodbye to our family vacation this year. Not a chance that I will be needing snow boots anytime soon. I want to go on vacation when I’m in the position to enjoy it and not while I’m heavily pregnant , couldn’t see my feet and have to go and pee all the time. We could also use the funds for the new baby so it’s not so bad. Just because we won’t be going on a fancy holiday doesn’t mean that we can’t have fun. We’ll still go out but maybe somewhere near and won’t require traveling by plane.

Won’t be needing it

Jacq — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:18:33 +0000

I find myself napping a lot these past few days, it’s not so bad as I need my rest and I have baby #2 to think about. I don’t sleep late now as well, not that I could because my husband is now telling me to go bed early. I guess I won’t be needing the best eye cream afterall with all the sleep I’m getting these days. I do enjoy staying in bed with the little girl, it’s fun talking to her and giving her lots of cuddles before be actually go to sleep

T’was a fun trip

Jacq — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 04:50:57 +0000

It was fun that we were able to go to lots of places when we went back home for vacation. In a way a lot has changed, more shopping malls, greats restaurants and other fun places. The little girl enjoyed our vacation as much as I did. She loved the car rides because she’s able to see a lot of things that are new to her, the jeepneys, tricycles even signature plates makes her squeal in delight. Ahhh how easy it is to please a toddler, we don’t have to try so hard. I was happy that she to see a lot of different places and have new experiences. We definitely have to go back home for often.

I love this new kit by Cori Gammon at The Lilypad. I’m was able to scrap finally and I loved how this page turned out. It’s nice that I’m finally able to scrap some photos from our vacation, this photo makes me smile…nothing fancy just a snapshot of me and my little girl, I like scrapping little moments like this that reminds me of how lucky I am.

Trying to edit videos

Jacq — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 14:42:34 +0000

I’m trying to figure out how to slice a video clip to fit to my Flickr for the past 30 minutes now. I have to admit it will be better for me to just ask my husband to do it for me. Just like I don’t know anything about Insinkerator, I don’t know how to edit videos either, my husband is always the one editing our family videos so I never tried to do it myself. For once I wanted to do it myself but it seems I really can’t do it. I better ask the expert…

Gotta have new recipes

Jacq — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 14:36:15 +0000

I was browsing online for healthier meals I can prepare easily before I take my little girl to school. It’s hard to plan a menu for the family each week, preparing the same food over and over can be boring so I’m trying to find new recipes to try. I even stumbled upon this alli weight loss which already helped a lot of women lose weight. I try to make healthier food choices because I’m too scared to try any weight loss treatment/diet so hopefully by eating healthy I could shed those excess pounds, it will be slow but I gotta try.

Lovin’ a sale

Jacq — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 01:54:43 +0000

I know going back to Manila for vacation that I would like to do a lot of shopping since I can get a lot of things like clothes cheaper here. I was happy to find great bargains and a big sale when I did my shopping for the little girl’s clothes. The clothes were cheaper at full price but to get them at 50% off was even better. I still bought her some clothes at Gingersnaps at full price though, I didn’t mind because the price is three times more have I bought them at SG and besides they have the cutest paperbag too. I wished I got her more accessories from their store, oh well maybe next time.
