Coming home soon

Why, hello there.

Yes, I am still very much alive. The holiday has kept me super busy though. Since it is over, we are back to regular programming.

My uncle, an OFW, will come home soon. My siblings and I were talking about giving him a welcome back gift. He is one big NCAA fan. Ticketamerica.com has college seats for very good teams in the NCAA that include the Southern Methodist Mustangs, Southern Miss Golden Eagles and the great St. Bonaventure Bonnies teams. We have an option of buying a southern methodist mustangs tickets for 2, a southern miss golden tickets for 2, or st bonaventure bonnies tickets. Either way, he would surely be delighted. Can’t wait for him to go home.

Jewellery for Claire

Alright, I dream of having a son first. When I first got pregnant, deep in my heart I knew there and then that I am carrying a boy. It does happen. My eldest is a boy. Eventually, when he grew a little bigger, I had a longing to have a baby girl – my own baby doll. I long to have someone I can dress like a princess or should I say I wanted to have a live Barbie. Not those boys are boring. And so when I got pregnant the second time around, I deeply wish for a girl. Luckily, it did happen. Seeing them both growing up together is such a happy moment. The love and hate relationship they both have for each other every single day. The toys they fight over, the space in the bed, my attention and everything in between. There are things they have to learn to share with each other except for one – Jewellery.

I used to long to have fine earring, necklaces, bracelets and other pieces of gold and silver not until my daughter came. Now, everything seemed to be for her. When I look into the glass display of some jewellery shop, I do not anymore see those intricate designs fitted for adults. I only see those fine, soft, and simple pieces of jewelleries for my little girl. Don’t blame me. Any mother would attest to my liking, right?

I admit my passion did not stop in malls. I seldom browse online and find myself online window shopping at TICJewellery.co.uk and wishes I can just buy all the items there. The thing is, it ain’t that easy. Well, I guess I just have to purchase little by little so by the time my little girl is old enough to appreciate it, she already has a few.

As a mother

As a mother with two kids, I find it a necessity to insure my kids’ health and future. Who wouldn’t? Like any other moms out there, I only wanted the best of life for them. I scouted for the good school near our area for my first born and eventually send him there for preschool. I make sure that we religiously had their vaccines and boosters. And right now, I am scouting for insurances for them. Good enough, I was able to find a company who offers Term Life Insurance in an affordable price. I can even get a quote from them within a matter of minutes; all I have to do is dial their toll free number 1-800-939-0710. I can Buy Life Insurance without the hassle and expense of medical examinations. I loathe filling out long medical questionnaires and I find it time-consuming to get medical exams required. This has been understood by NoMedExamLifeInsurance.com, and so they are one of the first companies in America licensed to sell no medical exam life insurances. This is ideal for individuals who need the coverage right away, individuals who have health complications that make getting ordinary life insurance more difficult, people who – for personal or religious reasons – want or need to avoid lab test, needles and other procedures, and others. Life Insurance No Exam, love it!

Baptismal gift

My colleague asked me a couple of days ago to design a baptismal invitation for her nephew based in Canada. I eagerly accepted the task and made two designs. After which, the designs were sent for approval to her sister. I just receive a mail today from my colleague advising me that one of the designs I made was approved by her sister. The sister was even asking if I could design a thank you card to match the invitation as well.

At the end of the mail, my colleague asked me what should she gave as baptismal gift for her nephew. If it is not that expensive to ship items to Canada, baby boys clothes are the best answer. However, the shipping fee is more than the actual cost of the item so it is not possible. I told her to make a photo book and have it shipped there. That would surely be most appreciated by her sister. Or, she could fly to Canada and be there on the Christening day itself. Besides, she is one of the godmother of the kid.

Anyhoo, I have to sign off now as I have to make the lay-out of the thank you card in a few minutes. Ciao!

Window shopping

Baby clothing – checked.

Thanks to the Internet, I was able to scout some good deals on infant clothes when I was still pregnant with my daughter last year. It took me months searching high and low for the best brands at cheaper costs of clothes before hitting the check out button. There are actually a lot of things to consider, aside from the price. Some stores even claim the clothes they are selling are organic. Aside from online shops, I also visited a few baby stores in some malls in the metro to check out their garments. Most of the time, I do not go home empty handed which makes my husband whine. But whenever I show him the price tag, he would stop and agree that my purchases are a steal. Besides, I don’t purchase those that wouldn’t be in use. We learned our lesson the hard way when we go all out purchasing almost all baby items available when I was still pregnant with my first born. Most items were not put in use. Gawd! We were like crazy people who threw our hard earned money as trash. We should have listen to our beloved mothers, the experts.
