I know we’re still on vacation but I can’t help but think about our next vacation come September. The little girl will have a short school break so it’s the perfect time to go have a family getaway. I’m not sure our original plan would push through but I still want to go somewhere we could have fun and relax and perhaps lounge on some log furniture. I don’t mind not going to Tokyo this year but I really want to have a break. I’m sure hubby won’t mind this idea too, it’s so much easier to bring the little girl on trips now that she’s almost four. She’s a fun companion and it’s not hard to keep her happy and entertained (I have my iphone to thank for that).
This doodle set by Kate Hadfield has been really helpful when it comes to doing my daughter’s school homework. I let her choose which animals she wants and proceeds to assist her in cutting, pasting them on her workbook. The doodles are nicely done and so cute, my daughter likes them a lot.
I know I’ve gained weight and I’ve been telling myself I should be serious about shedding those excess pounds that doesn’t seem to budge no matter how I try to control my diet. I might resort to other weight loss diet soon, better yet I should get my butt off the chair and start exercising regularly. I know I won’t magically lose weight so I need to have the determination to see results. If only it is that easy….
Even though we’re on vacation I make sure I brought all my skincare items with me. I don’t miss putting on my eye cream twice a day and the same goes for my moisturizer. Just because we’re thousand of miles away from home it doesn’t mean I could forget about my regimen. I’m not getting any younger so I should take care of my skin more. Prevention is always better than cure I always say. It’s better to slow the hands of time than to try and reverse it by going under the knife (not that I would anyway).
It’s my dad’s birthday celebration today and of course there was a lot of food to be had for us and relatives and my dad’s friends. We’ve been eating more than usual since we got here and I’m scared I might need to buy apidexin for myself when we get back. I can’t help it, there’s just a lot of good food that I’ve missed and I just had to savor each dish because who knows when I’ll be able to get the chance to have a taste again when we go back to SG. And also when you’re with the company of family it’s hard to to eat more.
I’m looking forward to scrapping the photos of our vacation when we get back home next week. There’s a lot of great items that I could certainly use on my pages. I love new releases at SSD every week, it’s something I really look forward too because I’m never disappointed with the items from all the talented designers of the shoppe.
I really hope the weather here won’t do anything harsh on my face. I really don’t want to use the best acne solutions when we get back home. So far I’m not having any breakouts yet, I just have to make sure it stays that way. For the most part we’re staying out of the sun but next week we’ll be going to the province to visit hubby’s aunts so we’ll be going to the beach for sure. I better make sure I have enough sunscreen for the three of us.
We’re going back home for vacation in a few days and I’m really excited to see family and friends once again and at the same time I’m looking forward to all the shopping I can do while we’re there. There are a lot of things I can buy cheaper back home than here in Singapore that’s why I make sure I have enough shopping money when we’re there, I don’t need much anyway since I can buy a lot of clothes (for the little girl for instance) at wholesale clothing prices. I’m always satisfied with how much my pocket money can go as far as shopping, if you know where to look you’ll surely find great items at a cheaper price.
There was a lot of advertisements when I watch my favorite shows on TV and though I just skip most of it and do something else than wait for the show to start, sometimes there are certain ads that catches my attention like the atv commercial this afternoon. When I’m bored I just flip the channels with infomercials and keep in the background as I wash the dishes or prepare dinner. I like my peace and quiet as I do the household chores but sometimes it’s nice to have some sort of noise coming from the tube.
It’s great having a phone with a camera or spur of the moment pictures like the photo on the layout above. I must admit the my iphone 3gs doesn’t have the best camera but it’s good enough for now (I’m secretly wishing for an iphone 4 because it has a better camera with flash). I used Mandabean and Melissa Bennett’s latest collab called Seeds and Sunshine for this layout.
