Splurge.

I’ve been interested in coupons lately. Buying things I use with coupons definitely helps me save money that I can use to fund other bills. I found some bath & body works coupons as well as some domain ones the past week or so. I’m trying to look for good coupons for hosting this time around. My current hosting will expire on March I think, and I’m not really sure if I can afford the renewal rate. :(

I’m trying to add funds on my “upgrade the old mac” list. I was given an old Macbook that runs on Tiger and I’m hoping to get it upgraded to at least Snow Leopard so I can update iTunes/Safari and install Firefox and Chrome. I need them for web works.

Planning ahead for Valentines

Written by on December 29, 2011

Since New Year’s about to come I’m starting to prepare Valentines Day gift ideas for my Mom. I wasn’t able to get her flowers last year and I wasn’t really able to buy her a proper present this Christmas due to budget issues so I’m hoping I can get her something special for Valentines. Maybe an inexpensive trinket or an EZBloomers.com floral arrangement would be fine. Something that’ll show I care and remember her.

If I can get my siblings to chip in, we can maybe get her a spa package so she can relax and enjoy for a bit. I know she gets tired from taking care of us and a treat like this would bring a smile to her face. :)

Really losing weight in 2012.

Written by on December 27, 2011

I was thinking of trying yoga earlier this year. Unfortunately, I started working and spent a lot of time on my 1-2 hour commutes (depending on traffic congestion) so I never really pushed through with it. Before the Christmas season started I found several shops that offered discounts and sales for yoga mats and I admit I’m tempted to try it again this coming new year. I really need to lose a lot of weight because I am starting to feel the strain on my spinal cord and on the soles of my feet.

There’s no yoga studio where I live right now and the nearest one can be found after an hour or two of commuting by bus. If things work out on the new company I applied to, I might be able to at least sneak in a yoga session or two on the weekends.

Merry Christmas!

I’m still up even though I’m so tired from all the cooking and Noche Buena preparations. :D

It was a bountiful celebration this year and although we didn’t really get any presents, the balikbayan box that was sent to us this Christmas made our pantry and our hearts full.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, even our brothers and sisters who were affected by the typhoon Sendong. You’re all in our prayers.

Hobby sites and internet woes.

Written by on December 7, 2011

I hate not being able to access the internet as often as I did before. Right now I’m stuck using a prepaid USB stick for internet access since the phone company can’t install DSL in our area yet. We moved a couple of months ago so I’ve been on prepaid internet since August. I’m hoping that we can get DSL back at least this January if not this month. I’m planning to start a couple of hobby sites that could possibly talk about micrometers and other tools to work on my writing. I have no definite plans yet because I need to fix my internet connection first before I can focus on all the other sites I plan to start.
