*Shoes, Shoes, Shoes! Christian Siriano for Payless are oh so good!

*Yarns for Knitting/Crocheting (especially the chenille, boucle and wool.. droool!) they would make a great addition to my yarn collection.



pics came from here

*A Lolita ensemble! oh my! i'm dying to try these on! but they are sooo pricey! and not available locally. how sad... :(

well, ok! i admit, i'm not good in making a list. and besides, i don't have anything else in mind that would make me happier this Christmas. this is just a list of "what-if-i-got-extra-bucks?" :)
my family's health, my kids, my hubby, my mom and friends are all enough to make me smile. a smile that can last all year round! ;)

Coin Operated Woman

i am a coin operated woman.
i am money motivated.
but what is wrong with that?
moolah is always needed to get the things that
i want,
i lust,
i covet.

i am a coin operated woman.
even my hubby knows that.
he knows that i can't give with nothing in return.
he knows that whenever he'd ask for something,
there's a price he has to pay.

i am a coin operated woman.
why should i feel bad?
i work hard everyday
i pay my dues
i save for the next storm
and i save some for my own storm...
coin operated...
sounds funny and even disgusting
but what is to worry?
when every woman i know are coin operated too...

i deserve pretty things
call them rewards
or whims..

but i deserve what i deserve
and i gotta have what i need to have
because i work hard
and i am a coin operated woman....

a poem intended for myself and all the women i know. cheers!

what's eating you?

the long weekend is over and it means that my temporary vacaaay is over... tomorrow, i will be back to my zombie life as a teacher! but hey! i got some progress! i'm beginning to learn how to enjoy it! see? i just need a little getting used to... hurhurhur!

last Friday was really oh-so-busy day for me and hubby... though i've mentioned in my previous post that i don't have plans for the "A" day. hubby decided to celebrate it with some few close knits. we had a little lunch with my co-workers which includes my MIL. an after dinner drink with my friends and cousins -- this was fun! and a getaway plan (just like newly weds) after the party. ^_^ we spent the night in a hotel nearby. but we were both too tired and instead of "celebrating", we just fell asleep and had to get back in the morning. i know that's not quite fair but what can i do? the pillows were calling me! hubby got a little disappointed but he understood for he too was as tired. there is always a next time. ^_^ (so lame-me!)

anyway, back to our lives again. and i'm counting the days till Christmas... excited? not really. until now, i don't have good plans yet. i'm good at it, did you just notice? always have no plans. i'm focused on much bigger things. is that bad? maybe yes and maybe not.

for now, i have to get ready for the zombie zone tomorrow.

sherryl crow said in a song "everyday is a winding road..." *wink!* and mine has hurricanes.

looking backwards and forward

today, nothing unusual or special happened... just like my day yesterday and what will be tomorrow. as long as i am here in this job, nothing special would appear from nowhere. only miracles can change things, i guess.

i can't help but take the ride again... it's weird. yes, it is! for there's not so much to look back for. maybe i refuse to look back... hmmm... i'm beginning to sound like i hated my past soo much. please don't get me wrong. i am okay. life is okay. perhaps, it's the weather that's bringing the mood. aaaw! and our upcoming wedding anniversary. no matter how lightly i take it, i feel swirling and twisting in my stomach. pain reminds me that i should come up with a plan or at least, list down the things that i should do on the "A" day. aaahck! how do i plan? how can i plan? i'm freakin' broke! haha! wish me luck!

i see hubby... his face is always shining. it's sweet... it keeps me going. everyday...

greeting cards exchange

i am very excited about our postcards exchange in our MAF community! last week, i got my first one from USA and my next one will be from Sweden. wow! my so-called online friends are real! haha!i never thought that i'd be able to make friends for real with people whom i just met in an online community. it's very exciting for me! in return, i'm giving away cute holiday season cards and some bookmarks which i have been collecting since i don't know when... all my bookmarks are from Papemelroti. and you can view their cute bookmarks here. sorry guys! i can't post pics right now. my cam's batteries need replacements. aaaw! and i just don't have the moolah yet! geez! anyway, if anyone out there who's interested to trade postcards/greeting cards with me, send me your details here: asteroid24@ymail.com and leave a comment in this post. i promise to reply as soon as i can. i will be sending all of them before the month ends.

this will be a fun experience for us! ^_^ it's fun to be real friends!

wow! what happened?

oh yes! after a long hiatus... i'm back!!! long hiatus??? haha! my internet was busted! that's why i wasn't able to visit and reply to your comments... oh i'm really sorry... to those who have left comments and followed me through MBC, thanks a lot! i really appreciate it. i promise to post ASAP! i am still having a hard time dealing with my students and their over-supportive parents! things are really getting wild! anyway, i hope you can all still wait for my next post. and i'm really sorry for the delays of comment approval. i'll drop by again tonight and see what i can do.

million thanks to all of you, my dear 78 followers!!! ^_^ mmmuah!
