Royce chocolates ...

indeed a melt-in-your mouth chocolate sensation.

So smooth and creamy.

Absolutely yummy.

Thanks Beng for the New Year's gift. So sweet and thoughtful of you to remember my wish.

Finally, was able to satisfy my Royce chocolate curiosity.

Now I am hooked and craving for more!

all waiting.

Just as I've posted on my other blog.

One more day ... and the husband will be home.

Gawd...I miss the husband so much. I can't wait to see him especially now, the little girl is sick due to throat infection. Need him badly. We can't wait to see him.

Our relatives from Illinois are waiting. Waiting for his arrival in Manila. They've been waiting for days for his email about the Chicago accident attorney referral. They need to consult an accident lawyer ASAP for their minor involvement in a motor vehicle collision. They too are waiting.

Our friends are waiting too. For they asked the husband to get some items from Hawaii. Some ordered through amazon online site, while others asked their relatives to deliver to the husband's hotel.

His office staff waiting too. They can't wait for hubby's decision about a hardware equipment to be purchased. They need hubby's approval too prior implementation of a new software system. All of us are waiting. And just one more day.

diet plan wish

As I prepare for our summer plans this year, I can't help but wish that I should have started by diet plans months ago. I could have lose some of those unwanted fats that would make me "more appealing" in bathing suits. Yeah, yeah I know you've heard this from me over and over again ... but I really can't stick to my diet program. I find it very difficult and frustrating to cut down my food intake especially with all the holiday celebrations last month. I hate to admit it, but I guess I am just plain lazy to stick with all the excercise programs. I always find an excuse of avoiding my diet. I can't simply escape and say NO to all the tempting foods that I love like sweets (cakes and chocolates), soda and rice. And now, as summer season just around the corner ... I can't help but wish that I should have seriously considered taking Anoretix. Or probably started using my gym membership full-time, or start eating healthy meal like protein and veggies, or probably limit my carbo intake. And now, all should-have beens. Should really have sticked to my diet plans ... do you think there is still hope for me?

toy sale

Received an interesting email from Allaboardtoys.com yesterday, they are offering clearance sale up to 70% off from its orginal price. Naturally, I grabbed the chance of getting sale items for the bratinella. Since most of the charatcer toys on sale, I've decided to get the little girl her new fave nickolodeon item -- the backyardigans! Really great deal at 50% price off. From the original price of $50.00 to $24.87. Excluding shipping charges of course! I am thinking of having the toy shipped to hubby's hotel in Hawaii next week, just not sure if this is allowed. If this will work, it will be an awesome pasalubong present for Samantha. Well, just hope it will arrive in time while hubby still in Hawaii. To make this work, need to have it shipped overnight and have the correct barcode scanner to avoid any delays. My only problem, hope the toy site allows shipping to hotels. Otherwise I'll be forced to shipped the toy to my aunt in NY. And that would mean waiting for a long, long time for the package to arrive. Anyway, still crossing my fingers.

off to Bangkok

For our upcoming anniversary treat on February, I've already arranged our travel plans for Bangkok, the City of Angels. I've never been to this place and I am very much eager to set my foot in Bangkok. I've heard so many good things about the place and I can't wait to see (and taste) the real thing. For 4D/3N, hubby and I will explore the enchanting city. Thus as early as now, I am busy as a bee checking the web for fab places to go, must-see tourist destinations, list of shopper's haven and yummy places to eat. From the fascinating Buddhist temples, busy flea markets like the Chatuchak, Authentic Thai restaurants, cabaret show and of course, cruise at the Pattaya River. I just can't wait!! Of course, since there will be a lot of eating here in Bangkok (love their spicy food!), must bring with me weight loss products I bought on the web. Hahaha! I think this will come handy especially with all those yummy thai food I plan to eat! Haay, Bangkok... just few more weeks to go.

shopping for the husband

Don't you just love post holiday shopping? Sale items, clearance sale can be found almost everywhere. From malls, to supermarkets, and even online websites. Items are on sale! Truly a haven for thrift shopper like me.

Just this morning, I saw good sale items for the husband. A famous clothing website offers sale items for their winter clothes. This includes slacks, suits and jackets. I am tempted to buy almost everything on sale since they all look really nice on hubby. Good thing I was able to stop myself and just got him a couple of shirts and polos for his office use. Though I am happy with my online purchase, I can't seem to find formal wear attire on bargain. I need to find the husband a decent suit or tuxedo for their black tie corporate affair in Japan this coming February. If I can't find one soon, I am afraid the husband will be forced to wear his old suit again for the event. Any shopping ideas?

Welcome 2009!

Another year ... another beginning.

I have so many things on my mind now, so many plans and dreams for 2009 and I don't know where to start. Got big dreams, big plans for the family and I am hoping this will all materialize this year. HOPE is the word. After all, new year brings new hopes and dreams.

Last night, I am thinking of drafting/posting my new year's resolutions. But again, why bother. I am a no good sticking to my resolutions anyway. Sadly, everytime I draft my resolutions at the start of the year, I always end up forgetting, cheating, or not accomplishing anything at all. This makes it even worst.

This year... I vowed it would be different. (hah, is this another attempt for resolution?) I'll just make it simpler this time for me. No more attempts about my diet, being organized or living frugally. Hehehe! Di naman nangyayari eh! lol.

Thus for 2009, I'll just ENJOY LIFE as it is. NO to pressure or imposing pressure on myself. I'll try to live a relaxing and stress-free life. No more OC me. No more worrying too much. Time to take it slow and see the beauty of life. Think this is enough for me to start the year ... and to begin with Baby No.3 :)
