Almost over with June expenses

We are currently in the lookout of cheapest auto insurance as ours just expired. I just realized that the month of June is the time we spend a big chunk of our family budget. Aside from our daughter’s school tuition, our car is scheduled to be registered every June. Plus, my daughter celebrates her birthday in the first week of July and her school sort of expects the kids to celebrate it with her classmates, so it is a bit hard to adjust if I spend out of the budget limit.

Speaking of her classmates, her only girl classmate backed out. I was informed that the family is moving to another city. So there, my daughter goes back to being the princess again. ;)

Fairytale or Fiesta Dora?

I’m a bit sleepy now as the sleeping pills are starting to kick in. But let me just share something that I haven’t done for a loooooooooong time.

In less than two weeks, our daughter will be celebrating her birthday in school. The doll that will be used for her cake is currently on a plane on its way here in Manila. And I haven’t checked how much a Diego (cousin of Dora the Explorer) giveaway costs. I have to look for Diego instead of Dora because she got more boys than girls for classmates. She got one girl classmate. So yes, I’ve done nothing much… until today. :mrgreen:

Today, using some of my old collection, I was able to scrap an invitation for her classmates. Yay!

Largely influenced by a recent workshop, I was supposed to design a fairytale themed invite but ended up with a Fiesta Dora. :lol:

affordable car care

I was computing our expenses, and trying to figure if we are still on track with our budget. With all the expenses, expected or not, I think we should consider getting services, such as oil change and tune up from another repair shop.

My husband mentioned about Houston auto repair which was mentioned to him by one of his friends. According to this friend, they are good in car care that even one Acura Integra still looks good and works just fine. Amazing, right?

hobby: wishful thinking

For a couple of weeks now I’ve been *wishful* thinking I am pregnant. Almost every month, I get this feeling a lot, almost wanting some prenatal vitamins. Just kidding. But yes, I do get that illusion a lot. :lol: Then reality kicks in and I get frustrated. ;)

Anyway, the good news is I was able to shed off 4 more pounds even if I didn’t change my diet much. I hope to shed some more without having to work out. Yeah right. Wishful thinking again. :p

cheat day

Late this afternoon, I started craving for fishballs, but our “fishball buddies” are still out. My daughter and I were so sleepy so we doze off supposedly for a while, but ended up sleeping for 2 hours. When we woke up, it was too late for fishballs. Our “fishball buddies” asked us where else we want to go. We decided we want to hang out at Technohub for Time Zone and dinner.

The little girl wanted a bucket of fries from KFC so the whole gang decided to just have 2 bucket meals! After dinner, I was just too full I kept obsessing about the idea of best fat burning supplements. And even while eating, we were thinking of having a beer and pizza 3 hours later that night. Hahaha. We so love to eat!

got it!

Earlier today, we went to my sister’s (and brother-in-law’s) house for the first time. On the way there, I suddenly thought I should have brought a house-warming gift! Yikes! I kept thinking if we should drop by a mall to buy something. Although my sister loves acne body washes, I don’t think that would count as a house-warming gift. Well anyway, husband an I decided we just give them something that is not bought in a rush.

While showing their house, I noticed that her hamper doesn’t match the rest of their furniture and wall, so there, I know what to get them! :lol:
