July 2nd.

Just 6 days before we move in to the new office. And yet, I don’t even have the faintest idea on how to get there. I’ve been hearing complaints that it is so hard to get a cab from the new building going out of McKinley Hills.

So I thought even if I’d be brave enough to bring a car, I would badly need gps systems installed or I’d surely drive in circles.

My plan is to ride a cab from our house to MRT. Then my stop would be Ayala. Then take a cab from there to the office. Sheesh, tiring. Sigh.

Today is the first day that all of my daughter’s classmates are meeting each other in class. You see, for the first two weeks, they were grouped in 4, one group attended the MWFTTh while the other one TThMWF (confusing huh?). Simply put, the classes were staggered in the first two weeks.

I must give away Mikee’s invites for Friday’s school party. She is celebrating her birthday with her 8 classmates, who are all boys by the way. I was able to scrap a car-themed invitation. I used some Ferrari parts (or something that looks like them) elements.

Why car-themed you might ask. First, she likes playing with cars, and riding in them (well except for those with a scary “mascot” riding it too hahaha). Plus, like I said, her classmates are all boys. And, the boxes for the doughnuts are well, car boxes.

Yes, I’m excited.

I did the mistake of staying up late for work. Well, not that I have a choice. I should just have slept earlier to prepare for the sleepless night. Because of this, I had to cancel one appointment and had been so sluggish the whole day resulting to me being so unproductive.

It would be nice to just escape from all of these. It would help if I could sleep at 9pm, 8 hours for 5 straight days. I couldn’t help checking some vacation rentals in Outer Banks. A vacation would give me that boost, the energy back. Sigh. I’m going back to bed.

Three of my husband’s cousins are nurses. So sometimes, they show us some of their medical supplies. I was quite familiar with some but I got curious with one item. Between giggles, I was told it is a mentor external catheter.

They told us that these are used by men who are in hospital beds and too weak to walk or those who are in wheelchairs. It eliminates the burden of going back in and out of the bathroom. It could be tiring to sick people, especially old men. They said that for their patients who are home based, they order online at Allegro Medical. Most of their medical supply needs, they order from the said site.

I’m not sure why but I’ve gone too lazy to upload photos. I can’t believe it myself because I used to enjoy it so much. I guess, I’m too busy with other things that when it’s time to upload, I simply have no drive to.

But one thing hasn’t changed, I still love taking pictures, much to my husband’s dismay.

Sometimes, when I’m scrapping, it disappoints me to find out that the kit that I’m using has no matching alphas. I’m one of those people who are too afraid to mix and match kits so I always depend on the kits put together by the designers.

Anyway, it’s just nice that some alphas are being sold separately. What’s nicer are the free ones!

Here’s something from Misty Cato:

Nice huh?

Just the other day, I was watching (again) 27 dresses over at cable. The beach wedding at the end of the movie was inspiring. I suddenly thought of Hawaiian themed beach wedding. I’d love to have any of those destination weddings perhaps in Mexico. It would be nice to get married again on our 10th wedding anniversary.

I’d probably just wear a nice white dress with head wreath. It would be nice to have the kids to be part of the entourage instead. The Karisma hotels and resorts is the perfect place for this dream to take place. It is definitely a destination perfect for celebrating love and romance.

We often go to Techno Hub to eat and/or play at Time Zone. Hubby and his brothers/sister/friends play around while I keep the tickets won. And in the end, we’d exchange the tickets with any toy Mikee chooses.

Look at one of her choices!

No doubt that she’s my daughter huh?

Growing up, my parents had certain rules on food intake. We were not allowed to eat street foods like fishballs or scramble (a pink fluffy drink that I had no idea of the ingredients) to name a few. At home, we have no junk foods and soft drinks. Usual menu was comprised of oatmeal, cornflakes, veggies, fish and chicken (skin of which were taken off and given to the dogs). On weekends, my mother allows beef and pork.

So I know you’d understand that when I got married and took control of the family menu, I had succumbed to the temptation of junk foods, softdrinks and street foods.

You can imagine the huge difference between my former and current diet. No wonder my mother was slim and had never heard of Apidexin. She’d probably mock me if I tell her I need a weight loss pill if I want to trim down to my former size.

But the temptation was just too strong! Sharing pics.

Template freebies are everywhere and I no longer have an excuse not to scrap. Well, that’s what you think! I have become so tensed that I could not function efficiently. Tensed with what, you might ask. I am currently swamped with plans of self-improvement (personal, and work) but things started to slip off my mind.

I think I badly need a long vacation, rent an rv and escape from the city chaos. Maybe when I go back, I’ll get my groove back.

You see, I started forgetting important things. Earlier today, I was in a hurry to go to the office to submit my schedule for the late night shuttle. Deadline was 4pm (they are strict), which I only remembered at 6pm!!!

How would I go home from the office at midnight?!?! I certainly have no plans of bringing a car. Grrrr!

I think it was Monday when hubby told me they were having a team meeting over their manager’s house yesterday. He told me he wanted me and our daughter to come too. I was a bit reluctant because it would make me feel like a spy on their team plans since I belong to another team in another bundle.

But since it was a Friday, I relented. And just like what my husband stated on his Facebook status, the meeting was just a drinking session. I think I ate too much pizza and chips and drunk beer too many that I need a colon cleanse soon.

I had fun watching them sing with a little alcohol in their system. They were singing lots of boy band songs and 80’s romantic/ballad songs, which was really funny with all the hand gestures and a bit of dancing.

My daughter, on the other hand, had fun playing with a little dog in the kitchen. So I kept going back and forth the kitchen to check on her once in a while. She was active till midnight (as she is usually) but got tired and sleepy by 1 am which was a signal for us to bid our goodbyes.

So there. That explains why my husband and daughter woke up at 11am today.

I was supposed to scrap last night. Instead, I decompressed all the zip files that contained the templates that I’d like to use. I chose those that were spreads over the single paged ones.

I was supposed to scrap last night. Instead, I searched for photos that I have been planning to scrap for the longest time. I chose the photos for each template that I like to use.

I was supposed to scrap last night. Instead, I ran out of memory that I had to back up my photos and kits that had been on my laptop for months now.

I was supposed to scrap last night. Sadly, I ran out of time and energy. I slept instead.
