Cravings Galore!

I’m glad that I got my appetite back. I am now trying to make up for weeks of involuntarily ’starving’ myself, no thanks to pregnancy related mood swings and terrible nausea. I have been craving cakes though for some reason. Not ordinary cakes but ice cream cakes! I’m trying my darnest best to control this craving because I don’t want to put on unnecessary weight and feed my unborn baby with unhealthy stuff. And, in the name of vanity, I don’t want to end up taking the best diet pills around when the time comes that I want to lose my pregnancy weight.

Wanted: Kitchen Mixer

I’m planning to buy a kitchen mixer but I’m clueless about the brands and types out there. I just need something simple yet durable. Any recommendations? I’d appreciate it.

Care for Your Rings

One of the things we accomplished during our short stay in Singapore was to have our rings cleaned. We were worried about entrusting our diamond rings (wedding and engagement) to jewelry shops in Manila for fear that our stones might be swapped for fake ones. I know, that sounds so distrustful but we prefer to err on the side of caution. Good thing, the shops were we bought our rings in Singapore provide a free cleaning service so I was happy to hand over our precious rings, which we got back after less than 10 minutes.

Blessed Soul

With access to the television 24×7, I can say that I’ve watched a good number of news and updates about the Victoria bush fires. What I’m enjoying to see nowadays are the relief operations that regular people (meaning not the government officials or servants) undertake to help rebuild the communities.

Donations poured in like mad and the victims could not be happier. There is one guy who lost a lot of family and friends, spearheaded a campaign to give out campers/trailers, generators and practically every essential item in the household to fellow victims. There were car lifts used to bring down the heavy generators and quite a number of campers set up. Families have since moved in to the campers from the tents and public buildings they have sought refuge from during the height of the fires. God bless that man’s soul.

Of Lighting and Fixtures

One of the light bulbs in our common bathroom got busted a month ago. The thing is, the lighting fixture there has what seems to be a special kind of bulb that does not only emit light but heat as well. Browsing on the Internet for information on how it’s called, we learned that we need led light bulbs. We thought it’s something that’s hard to find but the husband was able to get a replacement from the nearby mall. Whew! Good thing it’s not winter season yet and we survived the whole month without using that particular lighting.

Rain or Shine

I was clearing up our hat and jacket rack when I decided to pay attention to the growing number of umbrellas that we have. We’re only three in the family but we have about 10 umbrellas in various colors and sizes! Most of them were promotional business gifts from job and insurance agents and others were bought in the past. I hope all of them are still in working condition though.

Shopping Plan On Hold

My plans to invest on kitchen equipment and accessories are officially on hold because of our recent major purchase. We got a new computer.. and a Mac at that! Weebee! The long wait was worth it since I had to make sure that it is a Mac and not a PC that I want. That the specs we’ll get is what I need. And that I foresee a long term partnership with a desktop (or iMac) compared to a laptop, which I’ve had for nearly five years.

So for now, I declare that all my future shopping plans are on hold! Or, until I get rich through pa1d blogging. Hah!

I Heart Corelle!

Last week, I chanced upon a dinnerware sale at BigW. To my delight, the Corelle set of 16 is sold for 40bucks! That’s only 1,200php. So I readily got a box that I will give to my sister, who is now dolling-up her condo unit. From what I know, the selling price in Manila is about 3,500php. Good deal, eh?
