1. If you could turn back the hands of time to correct one wrongdoing, what event would you choose and why? It is not actually a wrong doing, but for me my biggest regret would be not resigning earlier.
2. Are you one for tradition? If so, what traditions do you strongly believe in? If not, what makes tradition hypocritical? Yes. I believe in all traditions. My family and I follow them as much as we can. I do not think that any tradition is hypocritical.
3. You were taking part in an event and you had to crossplay, who would you crossplay as and why? It would depend on the event. If I had to crossplay someday it would be because of some crisis.
4. If you only had one day left to live, how would you spend your last day? Would you be tempted to live fatally if you knew you were to die the next day, and if so, what extreme measures would you take? I would spend the whole day with my daughter. I would tell her how much I love her and how she should take care of herself even if I am not around. I would even record it so she will remember it as long as she lives.
5. What are your top five sinful materialistic items, ones you'd expect from others including those closest to you? Why are each in the position they are in? I don't think I have any. I know how to control myself when it comes to shopping for clothes, bags and shoes. I do not like spending TOO much for an item. I know my limits.
6. I am... content with what I have.
7. I feel... peaceful.
8. I see... my daughter sleeping.
9. I need... to lose weight.
10. I love... the weather. It's cold and you do not have to turn on the a/c anymore.
11. I wish... I was thinner.
12. I think... I should look for clothes to wear today.
13. I hear... the door in the dining area closing.
14. I crave... for nothing really. I am already thinking about the buffet dessert at seven corners at Crown Regency. We have reservations for lunch Hehehe. Must.not.eat.breakfast.
15. I fear... losing my life for my daughter's sake.
16. I hope…I can lose weight even with all the eating I have been doing.

The Ugly Sweater Phenomenom
I have always been told that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is definitely true so I can find specific things beautiful while you can find it ugly. I have been checking out this site and I really find the way they promote their product interesting. In fact, I have been reading the testimonials of the clients that they have who seem to be perfectly satisfied with the items which are Ugly Sweaters that they bought.
Do you know that they buy the sweater and they wear them and they buy lots of them to give to their friends and family and if ever you received one, you are obligated to wear them. You can even have an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party where all of your guests including yourself can wear the Ugly Christmas Sweaters. I think it is going to be one hilarious Christmas party. For sure, people will be smiling and laughing their hearts out.
Should I give in to this and buy my husband a Mens Ugly Sweater to start the ball rolling? Is he going to appreciate the effort or is he going to hate it? Whatever his reaction is I know he will have fun just wearing it. We could even go out and wear ours together. Who knows maybe this year it will become a fad to wear those sweaters.

Taking Care Of Myself
For this week, I decided to pamper myself. I had my hair done. I had a pedicure. I haven't had my nails done for a month already. I shopped for myself and for my daughter. I am trying to fit everything in my schedule. Although, I haven't had a facial yet and a massage. Hubby wants to have a massage too so we will probably do that this weekend.
The reason why I have a lot of time in my hands is because I intentionally did not get any new projects this week. So basically I am doing only one and that can be done in less than 3 hours. So I really have a lot of time in my hands to do what I should have done a couple of months ago and that is to take care of myself as much as I am taking care of my daughter and my husband. So yeah, I am loving every single minute of it. I do not have to rush back home because I have pending tasks to do and I can play with my daughter without checking the time every so often. In fact, for this week, I refrained from wearing a watch. Hehehe. I am barely online. Unlike before when I am online almost 24/7. I have enough sleep. I watch boys over flowers using my phone. I am loving my phone even more. I no longer have to turn on my laptop anymore. My daughter and I watched Hannah Montana The Movie yesterday and we loooved it. My daughter loves it so much that she took out her golden wig and was wearing it last night.
So for this weekend, aside from doing the necessary preparations for my daughter's 5th birthday at school. I am also looking for a bigger bag. One that I can fit a lot of my stuff in. This is an Hermes orange calfskin classic. Isn't it nice?! This will fit well with my new orange top.
Plus, I hope that we will be able to watch ice age and transformers. Hehehe. So yeah, you could say that I am fitting everything for the week. I am giving myself time to have fun and enjoy myself before I take on new, exciting and challenging projects.

Plans For The 5th Birthday
It is going to be a very busy weekend and so to make sure that I would not forget one, I need to list them down:
1. Order balloons
2. Order food for my daughter's birthday. We want something easy like McDonald's or Jollibee or even Shakey's. But she wants Chow King! Hay. I doubt other kids will like crispy fish fillet and the boneless bangus which are my daughter's favorite viands these days.
3. Look for fun and new games
4. Make the labels for the giveaways
5. Grocery shopping for her birthday celebration at home
6. I wonder if I should order additional cupcakes for the kids at her sunday school class. She might want to celebrate there too. I have to discuss with hubby.
What else. Hmm. I will add to the list as soon as I remember any more.

Definitely Worth It
My husband has been working hard these days that I sometimes wish that we could just take a break and leave everything behind. Last year, we went to Singapore for the summer. This year we did not go anywhere. I hope that we will be able to take a vacation next year. I really wish we could go this year especially since there is a Vietnam Hotel Super sale from July 7 to 13 but you can use it from July 17 to September 30, 2009. However, he is new in his new job and all. So probably after a year we can take a vacation.
I checked it out and hotel rooms are as low as $45. Check out this room at Novotel Ha Long Bay. Isn't it nice?
It is even cheaper to stay there than here if you would compare the price of the hotel rooms. I really wish we could go. I hope they will have another Super sale next year. My sister might want to check this out. I do not know if she has been to Vietnam and this is a nice time to go there. She might even want to consider this as a honeymoon destination. This is a nice honeymoon destination. I think she targets to see all Asian countries before extending outwards.
If you have the time, why don't you take a break and go to Vietnam? The discount that you will be able to get is definitely worth it.

Decluttering!
Last weekend, my daughter gave out several pairs of shoes and slippers. Shoes and slippers that no longer fit her and some she no longer wants to wear anymore. The beneficiaries? Well, her cousins Janna who got around 15 pairs and she is loving all of them and her other cousin Aaliyah to whom we gave out 3 pairs.
These are just some of the items that she gave to her cousins.

Make A Wise Decision
There are already lots of people who are thinking of resigning from their jobs and thinking of just putting up their own business. I think this is a wise decision but one that they should decide on wholeheartedly. It does not work when you are not sure. You have to be 100% sure that's what you want to do. Remember it is your time and money that you are going to invest.
Before you go and spend your money on your business. Save some and invest some. Consider on investing in gold coins. They are the best forms of investment. It encompasses through time. It does not depreciates. You can even pass it on to your children and your grandchildren and they can pass it on too.
