We are now starting our Christmas list and I just noticed that the husband listed more nfl t shirts than I expected. Not complaining as I have more vanity kits on my list this year. Hahahaha. Vanity kit is just a code for anything that women would love. I sure hope a shirt that he listed is also a code for anything that men would love.

Now that we’re almost done with our list, I sure hope the budget starts rolling in.

I am excited for Mikee’s halloween costume. I sure hope it gets delivered before trick or treat in the office. I still haven’t figured out what she’d wear for shoes or where we’d buy them. But just last week, friends have been planning our yearly Christmas party. As always, we are scheduling it in November since December weekends are usually booked for balikbayan meet-ups and family gatherings. It could be a halloween – christmas party in one. I bet the moms would have a blast buying their adult halloween costumes.

Anyway, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that my little girl won’t suddenly change her mind what to wear this halloween. Although I think she’s all psyched up to pose for photos wearing her costume.

We love to travel. We love taking advantage of seat sales in one of the leading airlines in the country. I guess they’re leading because of the too many seat sales they have. Anyway, I noticed that many young professionals take advantage of the sale because aside from having your leaves scheduled early, the rates are just too tempting, leaving one enough money for lodging and more fun activities.

I sometimes envy a former classmate who owns (together with her husband) an RV. They travel every two weekends to different places. She said they always make sure they have 5th wheel warranty so they are always covered anytime they go. It’s fun to travel around but sure to have somewhere to eat and rest. Not to mention you can bring all the food and clothes you want to.

Now that’s convenient fun.

I’m not sure why but I have this impression that young celebrities think it’s cool to be junkies. It’s just like they’ve worked for that money they’d spent on their recovery or so called aftercare. There are even alternatives now and non 12 step programs.

Sometimes you wonder if it would be better to be famous or to be just a simple teenager whose only worry is what to wear to her next date. I’d rather have a simple daughter with simple wishes. All I care is she’d be happy. I just hope it wouldn’t be much “trouble” to keep her happy.
