Yes, you are not the only one who’s a bit surprised that there’s a Christmas QP freebie as early as now. I am surprised too but more than that, I am glad to have stumbled on this nice freebie.

Since we’re starting to feel like Christmas, maybe I can start listing down some of my wishes and maybe, just maybe, the husband decides to buy me an exercise equipment that I fancy. Who knows? I could get lucky this year.

I realized we rode mostly attractions for kids when we were in Disneyland. I guess it’s because we were trying to make sure BG enjoyed the trip. But at least, my in-laws were able to ride the Space Mountain. I rode that one back in September and do not intend to ride again ever, so I was a bit worried for the health of my parents-in-law. But then again, I bet the park is equipped with medical kits such as AED so no worries. Haha.

Anyway, I actually got a couple of photos that I’d like to scrap. I’m a huge fan of multiple photo layouts and I know these would make a nice scrap page.

Our little girl was so fond of her tutu. She kept calling herself “Princess Ballet” (instead of a Ballet Princess).

Before going to our Hong Kong trip last week, I told myself I won’t be taking much effort in taking pictures. I’d wanted it to be a relaxed family vacation.

True enough, when I got home after the trip, I wasn’t quite satisfied with the photos that I’ve taken. I realized I would have taken a lot of photos of the Halloween decors and attractions at Disney if I didn’t psyche myself into NOT taking much pictures. But at least I was relaxed.

I was teasing the husband that since we have visited Hong Kong Disneyland, the family should visit other branches too. I asked him “Should I start browsing for orlando vacation rentals?” He just gave me that confused look.

Anyway, now that I am swamped with vacation photos, I was just so glad to receive the email from Artscow about the free photobooks. Here’s the code: 8X8OCT2009

Enjoy!

Last Sunday, we went to Macau by Ferry from Hong Kong. It was my first time to ride a ferry for that long, an hour. I got really dizzy. This is the reason why I stay away from water beds and mobile homes. My daughter, on the other hand, had fun while trying to balance herself while the ferry swayed.

Quite oddly but not surprisingly, just when we are taking pictures during the tour, my daughter was no longer in the mood. Hence, the frown on all her photos.

Tsk. tsk.

I wish I can strike gold so I don’t have to control my wants and I can buy everything I want. I recently came from a trip with my family and as much as I want a vacation to recover from my vacation, I need to work so I can get paid so bills are dealt with on time.

I wish I can retire at a young age so I can do things I enjoy outside of work more like photography! I need to be wiser with my dealings with money. Friends have started to invest on gold from the Monex Deposit Company as they say gold is more reliable than mutual funds or the stock market. Their value never depreciates and actually gets stronger in value over time.

For those of you (who like me) had been on a scrapping hiatus for such a long time, here’s some good news!

ArtsCow is giving away hard bound 7×5 40 paged photo books! The coupon code is FREE7X5BOOK40P. Promo is till October 10th so hurry!

But if you’re swamped with other million things, you can choose to download those beautiful multi photo templates that Manda girl is giving away for free.

No more excuse huh?

Update on the diet. I still haven’t bought any top weight loss pills. But I was able to moderate my food intake today. (Insert a mini applause here)

I only ate two pieces of small bread (pan de sal), 4 pieces of siomai and a small can of tuna. That’s for the entire day. I was able to restrain from drinking cola. Of course, I had my daily cup of coffee, but I didn’t intend to cut that off anyway.

Gee, I have psyched myself into this diet! I just wish I could manage to continue to do so until my arms gets back to its pre-baby shape.
