A week ago, we went to Greenhills with the kids. We came without my SIL because we planned on getting birthday gifts for her. We were able to get her two iPod cases: a plain yellow rubber type and a hard Spongebob crystal type.

Anyway, last Wednesday, my daughter went to Greenhills again with my two SILs this time. They went to Krispy Kreme. And she was so happy to wear different kinds of Halloween hats. She was also invited to design her own donuts.

It was also our first time to talk via Face Time. She was so proud of what she did that she wanted to talk to us immediately. Then she brought the donuts home for daddy and mommy to eat. Yummy!

I still can’t get over that Mikee won’t be a cheerleader (cheerio) this Halloween. I still kept browsing for sexy cheerleading uniforms for her. Yeah sexy. Hahaha. I was hoping she and her brother will have coordinating costumes. (I have not divulged what Theo will be, unless you’re a twitter follower. Just a couple of days more, and I will post their photos here.)

Anyway, I am slowly accepting that she’ll be mermaid this year. We tried her red wig earlier today. I was glad to see that her wig fits her well. Although I am still not comfortable seeing her in red hair with her jet black eyebrows.

I wonder how many other mermaids will show up in the office for trick or treat. Ariel is quite popular on Halloween.

Mikee approached me to ask how to play guitar. Wow! Was that for real, or just one of her seasonal dreams?

My daughter wanted to be a teacher, a doctor, a ballerina, a violinist among others. See the keyword there, “wanted” because she’s now over those dreams. What stuck so far is her dream of being a chef, and I guess her interest in drawing.

Anyway, I think the guitar playing dream was heavily inspired by the Barbie the Rock star theme she wanted for her party. Just look at her drawing she kept showing me and her daddy “proposing” how her party would be with loot bags and gifts.

She even wanted to have really long blue hair for her rock star get-up. Now, that’s imagination!

While I was browsing Instagram, I saw a friend posted a photo of her kid’s bedroom furniture. It’s called room-in-a-box and comes with several designs that I would want for my kids: Disney princesses for my daughter and Toy Story for my son. A set includes a bed, a toy chest, a table and 2 chairs. They are inexpensive yet very cute (not to mention almost complete) to make up a kid’s room.

I maybe buying inexpensive furniture but I intend to invest on Luxury Mattress for each of the kids and another one for the master’s bedroom. This is to ensure proper sleeping position and a good night sleep. I’ve been browsing for luxury mattresses at The White Company. They carry a variety of comfortable and supportive mattresses. I am especially on the lookout of mattress with anti-bacterial layer, just an extra feature that I want for my kids’ beds that are said to prevent dust mites from reproducing. A little luxury that’s definitely worth the money.

Then I guess I could scrimp on the bed sheets and comforters, right?

I am glad to know that Walking Dead season 2 will start in 2 weeks. I tried to download video of its trailer last night to show to husband but I found the trailer on YouTube and shared that to him instead.

I was supposed to post some photos with my list of recommended photo editors on iPhone. But my EHD was broken (I need to edit the size) and I couldn’t find our backup EHD now. Sigh. I’m a bit sad that I couldn’t work with my EHD anymore. Although my photos are, thankfully, safe because everything that’s not on our backup EHD, I still have on my laptop. Well, I got some templates and kits too that have no backup on that EHD. What I’m sad about is the photobooks I was working on. I was trying to finish it in time for the promo code’s deadline. I guess I’ll just have to do those photobooks some other time.

Anyway, I am still hoping something can be done so I can get whatever work I have on my EHD. I wish I know where I can have it fixed. The only thing that’s broken is the port, all other parts are intact.
