(Not-So) New Life…..

Filed under: [A] Our Family, [D] Travel, [E] Bits n' Pieces — Admin @ 1:58 am

OK,we arrived here in Canada two weeks ago and I didn’t expect any “big changes” because we used to live in Oh,USA (for 6 years)and it’s only a couple of hours drive from where we live now and I’m still trying to get around the place,I’m just glad that the public transportation is avaiable so it means I don’t have to drive all the time if I want or need  something,I guess it’s an advantage because the gas price is keep going up and I think it doesn’t have any plan to get cheaper anytime soon. The weather is of course,just like Ohio weather,warm sometimes and then it gets cooler at night,the boys is still trying to get used to it.We might stay here for a year or so,it depends how hubby’s job goes and if everything is ok, I’ll try to convince him to just stay here for good,althought I have a second thought because my heart is still in US,I mean, my boys were born there,hubby is originally from there and his family is there and I don’t think he want to get rid of his US citizenship and I feel the same way for the boys,I think I’ll let then enjoy both worlds.For now,I will enjoy what we got and live it one day at a time and then we’ll take it from there.

There are still so many things that needs to be done,but what the heck?I’ll do it later,(yeah,I know,the lazy bug got me eh!). Specially now that we are US$1800 richer (ha ha ha ha),no,we just got our Stimulus check from US IRS,I think it’s a government project-whatever….anyway,it’s good to get extra money although if you really think about it,it’s not really extra I mean all those bills,I think those people or company,they can smell money,like we get the check today and wait for a day or so and the bills are on it’s way as well.They won’t let us enjoy it for a while,they just have to get their share soon!

Two more weeks….

Filed under: [D] Travel, [E] Bits n' Pieces — Admin @ 3:08 am

Two more weeks before we move to Canada and as a part of my personal preparation ;) ,I promise myself that I’ll get a beauty makeover (any violent reaction? :D ) aside from I have no one to watch the boys if I have to do it when I get there, but also it is very expensive, while I can get the same treatment here for 75% off the price,and no,it’s not a whole body makeover,i just had my hair done (hair relaxed w/ hot oil) and it only cost me Php700.00. I’m done with our luggage as well aside from there’s still more houseclothes that I have to pack in a last minute,my sister took my coat for a dryclean last tuesday.I also did some shopping last week bought some summer clothes for me and the boys and I don’t think we need more. Next week I’ll take the boys to have a hair cut then we’re almost done. :)

Fun With The Boys

Ocean Park     We went to Manila Ocean Park last Saturday together with my kumare and her family (she and her husband is Kendrick’s only Godparents)It was nice to have fun with the boys,I was actually planning to go there that Sunday,but they asked Kendrick if he want to go with them,(as always),so Patrick and I just followed afterwards.The place was nice,but there’s still few construction going on within the vicinity.I think they gonna build a hotel next to it.If you check the website,it’s pretty cool and the entrance fee(Php400 adult,Php350 kids) is just fair,although I expect more than what I saw. I mean they’re trying to do it just like the Ocean Park in Hongkong,but I guess it’s still a long way. The boys had fun watching so many fish with so many different colors and then we went to Luneta right after since the park was located just behind the Grandstand. I already forgot when was the last time I went there. Rizal is still standing proudly with his very loyal guard, but the park itself is not as clean as before. I wish the government do something to revive it because it’s a really nice place for the family,just to hang around,bonding with friends,let the time passed,and then watch the world with all the hassle and dazzle.

    Then last monday,I went to the dentist to get my teeth clean,but the dentist found out I have a Periodontitis (I think I heard it right), it’s severe case of Gingivitis,and she said that my teeth is perfectly fine (thank God!) but it’s my gums that I have to worry about. She said that I need to do the treatment sooner than later, I told her that I’m already aware of it since I also went to our family dentist in US,but I decided to do the treatment here since the total cost of treatment is $550 and here I can do it for only Php1100.00 for three sessions. She prescribed a mouthwash(Orahex) because according to her,those regular mouthwash will give you the fresh breath but it won’t heal my gums. I hope to get it done before we leave for Canada.

crosstitch     And the last but not the least, I just wanna post my latest crosstitch project,I outdone myself this time for finishing this one for less than 3 weeks. I was supposed to post the framed picture but I forgot,so just settle for this.(*smile*) . I still have one at home,it was Mickey Mouse,and I did it for only 2 days,no big deal though because the design wasn’t too big at all. I also have two pending design,but I’ll take it to Canada with me,what I’m gonna do is to buy all the materials that I need, because it’s a lot cheaper here. I got lucky because hunny is very supportive of me and he don’t mind me spending money buying the stuff (hey! he bought me a book cost $25) specially when I was still in US since I can’t buy a small piece of DMC Thread there,I have to buy the whole piece. Right now, I’m on with the Last Supper,my cousin asked me to do it for her,I know I’m running out of time with it because we’re leaving sooner,and I told her I have to bring it and then I’ll just send her the finish product. It’s my first time that someone asked me to do it ,I mean I only crosstitch for fun,as a hobby (aside from reading and shopping) and now it feels good that somebody appreciate it and she’s willing to pay me for doing it,but no,I want to have fun with it,I’ll do it because I want to,not because I need to.

Our Ticket To Paradise

Filed under: [D] Travel, [F] Pixel Perfect — Admin @ 9:02 am

Actually it’s not really a paradise,we’re moving to Canada,so I have to call our travel agent and reschedule our ticket and I have to do it sooner than later.

Post Date

Instead of calling the travel agency to confirm our Disney Trip,what happen was the other way around,I have to call them to cancell the reservation because something came up that will conflict our schedule and wether i like it or not,I have no choice.Last friday I received all the documents I need for our trip to Canada and I can get it in a month or so (my visa). And it makes me think twice,I mean,I really want to go,of course to be with hubby,we’ve been apart for exactly 1 year and 1 month and it’s not good,I miss him terribly,the boys miss him,and the anticipation is really killing me, but at the same time I have a second thoughts,the other part of me want to go but the other said I want to stay a li’l longer,maybe I’m just being me, does the word “FickleMinded” ring a bell?

The boys and I had a post-valentine date today. We went to the mall and ate at Pizza Hut,I don’t like pizza,I mean I’m not a pizza lover,but my boys are, I got myself a garlic pasta with shrimp & mushroom,and it was superb! I love it. We took some pictures, I bought some toys for my dates,they deserved it for being the sweetest boy in the world, I mean if I punish them for doing something bad,of course they deserved a prize as well for being good.

I was so under the weather since yesterday,I feel so tired,my whole body was hurting,I feel sleepy but can’t sleep at all. I took neozep this morning,I think it help me a little but I’m not 100% ok yet.I hope to be well in a day or so.

Here’s a few pictures from our date .Just click the thumbnail for the larger view. :)
