FickleMinded - A Life That Is Less Ordinary

My birthday is only a month away and nope,I’m not wishing for a world peace or some other crap like that. I knew a lot of people already wished for it and it’s very obvious that it never was,and never will come true, so why bother? I’m a realistic person,so what I’m wishing for is something that at least with a possibility of getting come true, like this Canon 550D T2i; I think it’s a perfect raplacement for my stolen Canon 450D. For those who didn’t know, a few weeks before we left Canada,...

Yep! It’s last day of November and tomorrow is December, it means, there’s only 24 days before Christmas but for some very odd reason, I don’t feel so Christmassy (yup! I made that up!) at all! I know I’m excited to spend the holidays here but at the same time,I’m not 100% happy because we have to spend it away from hubs,but it’s ok,I know after a few months of waiting,he’ll be here with us and all of us will fly back to US. Anyway, I haven’t done any Christmas shopping yet and I’m not sure...

A lot of people say that friends you met online are not really friends unless there’s a personal communication that happen from time to time, and in most cases, it is also the location that makes it hard to keep up with.But that’s not the case with us, I met these three and other gorgeous mommies online,thru blogging and eventually became my Facebook friends. Our location didn’t matter to maintain our friendship.Finally, after more than a year, we were given a chance to meet personally last...

For some reason, for the past few days, I feel some pain in my fingers,as in all of it. Although it’s manageable but still its bothersome. It’s the reason why I wasn’t able to finish my zeal transcend goggles article yesterday. It is actually my last task but my my working fingers can’t take it anymore and I need to take a break. I feel it’s more painful specially in the morning. I will try to take some pain medication and hopefully it’s nothing serious.

As of this writing, the Yahoo! weather indicator says it’s currently 84 degrees considering that this month we’re supposedly “cold” month. Even the sun outside is scorching hot, you can literally fry an egg on the ground and did I say,it’s only 9 o’ clock in the morning? It’s the reason why I need to buy another pair of cheap sunglasses. The one that I bought back in Canada is overused,I need to have another one as an alternative.If my plan with my cousin of going to Divisoria later today...

I know for a fact that my country,Philippines, is not the greatest country in the world, even way too far to become one.  There are a lot of people that don’t know how to follow simple rules, the city is very traffic and polluted,lots of street children roaming the road instead of being in school, the city’s brick wall is full of vandalism by displaying the name of it’s officials.  But guess what? I like living here.I like the simple approach to life of many Filipinos.  We have a high tolerance, we just let things go as long as it doesn’t affect our daily life, we don’t get ...

I spent less time online since we got here. But not on purpose,blame it to a slow internet connection we have at home. I’m using a prepaid Sun Broadband and I’m glad it’s only prepaid, because I’m not gonna pay monthly for this kind of crappy service.That’s why I minimized my online presence by logging in only when I needed to. Like to check my emails and if I have any task,other than that, I stay away from my computer because I couldn’t stand the lousy and slow service. Anyway, it’s weekend...

. . .Hello,November!!!!! wow! Time really flies and within two months, we will all bid goodbye to 2011 to welcome the 2012. I didn’t even know what happen to my October.  All I know,I was in Canada two weeks ago trying to keep myself warm as the weather temperature keeps going down,but now,I’m here in the Philippines beating the hot weather. It is a long weekend holiday here in the Philippines in the  celebration of All Souls Day. My youngest sister and I decided to visit our parents grave on Sunday because we want to bring the kids with us and it is impossible to do it today or even tomorrow. ...

Since holidays seasons are fast approaching, so does a lot of companies are now ordering a custom t-shirt to be given away, as their promotional products or as a give away.Here in the Philippines, it is a very common practice to many companies, small and big ones alike to have a company Christmas party and mostly, they give shirts and other stuff to their respective employees. That being said, it reminds me when I was still working in a corporate world, this time of the year is always our busiest because of so many parties here and there. and I certainly miss those days.

If there’s anything that I regret for not doing during our first visit here in the Philippines back in 2007, was not being able to take the boys to the Mall of Asia. I don’t want that to happen anymore,that’s why,this time,I make it sure that we will visit the place that most people keep on bragging. That’s why when I attended the Philippines Fashion Week last thursday,I told them that I will take them to MOA the next day.We left around 11am and had lunch at KCF,then we went to national...

TGIF! and Thank God indeed! I had a busy week and it’s not over yet.  The boys and I are off to the mall later so I could buy their school stuff.  They will start school on Nov 3. It has been a very hectic week for us,specially me.  I finally managed to accomplished 2 errands this week, that is to get my EON card and take care of my paypal account,secondly, I was able to attend my first fashion show,thanks to Triumph International. Later, like I said, malling with the boys. I still have a lot of posting to do but I don’t know how to start, and my usb cable is playing hide n’ seek is ...

Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. (NIV) Have a Blessed Sunday!!!

As expected, I’ve been so busy this week,although I’m glad that i still have time to blog, that is whenever I woke up in the middle of the night because of my bad sleeping pattern. I’m glad that I was able to enrolled the boys yesterday.  We went to Dela Salle-Araneta last Monday and I inquire if they could accept them, unfortunately, because it’s already on the third quarter, they can’t accept Patrick anymore while with Kendrick, they can accomodate him but they wanted to put him back to Kinder 2 because he is only 6 years old. I didn’t know that they bring back the 7 ...

I know being away for three years is not really a very long time, but for some reason, I got confused with my time here. Like today, I woke up at 4am thinking it is Thursday, until I checked my Food Trip Friday post and look at the calendar, then I realized it is Friday morning,(duh!) My sleeping schedule is quite crazy, thankfully,the boys got theirs and have no problem to sleep during the night. I think the whole 23 hours flight help them to adjust, but as for me, it might take a while, and that’s the reason why I’m working on my indoor tv antennas article at 4am. I will go back to sleep ...

We are off to Manila today. Maybe,by the time you read this, we are already on the plane. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get online immediately, but will try to post an update from time to time,maybe from internet shop until I get my own connection. Although blogging will be my least thing to worry because I’m off to a busy days for sure. Have a great day,Ya’ll!!!!!
