3. Are you cocky? Sometimes yes, I think I am.

4. Did you have an imaginary friend as a kid? Yes.

Seems Like Any Other Week Day

I am so blue. It is supposed to be a long weekend for us but my hubby has to go to work for the next 3 days. So yes, he has to go to work on a Sunday and a Monday too. His office are having IT problems. Boo! So to me, it seems like another week day at home.

Anyways, so here I am stuck at home, watching tv and dreaming of the time when we can finally go on a romantic vacation riviera maya. Just the two of us or maybe we can bring our daughter in tow. It can still be romantic even when there are kids around. Besides, how can you relax if you are worried about the daughter that you left at home? Right?! I am sure my husband will agree to it.

How I wish we could spend this weekend with hubby.

The Best Of Times For The Best Mom

I am still looking for the perfect gift for my mom. What does she want? Does she still have anything that she needs? I have been searching online for ideas and I came across www.bestoftime.com. If only I can afford to give her a Rolex. I would if I could. Nothing but the best for my mom. Hehehe. So even if she already has lots of time pieces, I am sure having a Rolex would be a great addition to her collection.

However, that's what's great about the site. It gives huge discounts on Rolex watches. They are actually pre-owned watches. That is why they can give discounts. They are not controlled by the price set by the manufacturer. So the low price is passed to it's clients directly. You do not have to worry about its authenticity because all the Rolex watches at bestoftime.com are genuine. It also has a three year warranty and you do not have to worry about delivery charges, as it is free. If you are interested, you can e-mail them at customerservice@bestoftime.com.

So you see they can really give you the best of time as the watch can last for a very long time and it will be with you through the best of times.

Saturday 9: The Longest Time

1. What's the longest time that you've waited to meet your date? Tell us when and what happened. When I was single, I did not wait for anybody. My date is the one who waited for me. I made one wait for more than 5 hours. But I had the most perfect excuse.

2. What's the longest time that you've waited for a job interview? Tell us when and what happened. Probably around an hour.

4. What's the longest time that you've not gone out on the town? Tell us when and what happened. This is the longest... we haven't been out of town for a year already. I am so raring to go.

5. What's the longest time that you've worked without a break. Tell us what your job was and why did it happen. 5 years. I was in HR and after my 5th year, I went to Singapore and USA (yr 2003) for a vacation. The Singapore trip lasted 5 days while the USA trip lasted for 30 days.

6. What's the longest time that you've not posted on your blog? Tell us when and why. A week or so. I got sick.

7. What's the longest time that you've been on the computer? Tell us what you were doing. 16 hours. I was working.

8. What's the longest time that you've waited for a friend? Tell us when and what happened. Actually, I cant remember any incident when I waited for more than a couple of minutes. Hehehe.

9. What's the longest time that you've gone without food? Tell us when and why. 14 hours. That would be from 10 pm to 12 pm . Sometimes I do not eat breakfast and just wait for lunch.

Busy Weekends

Friends of mine are planning a get-together come September as a pre-Christmas celebration because we all know how everybody is going to be all busy during the Christmas season. Plus it has been a while since I last saw two of my most original and trusted friends at the company where I used to work at before. Suffice to say that I am pretty excited. I have been remiss when it came to bonding with my friends and I plan to remedy that by saying yes to every invitation that comes my way. Hehehe. We will be having dinner at my friend's condo unit by the pool side and each pair (hubby-wife pair) will bring food. Children are invited too so it is going to be pretty wild. I haven't told my child yet because I know how much she misses her Tita Ruth and her Tito Ford and I do not want her to ask me every five minutes about it.

Aside from them, the fellowship where I am a member at is also planning a get-together, an overnight activity at Laguna where we will celebrate the first anniversary of the group on the 21st. My mom's birthday is also coming up on the 31st. So I guess my weekends are getting pretty tight.

Since these are all activities that would require gifts, I wonder if they will appreciate silver as gifts. I know where I can buy silver, gold and other precious metals from a trusted source. Monex Deposit Company has been doing that for over 30 years and they provide the best silver in the silver coin industry.

Another Blog Perhaps?

Here I go again. I am thinking of getting another blog. I have this crazy idea for a new blog. Yes, you heard that right! Hahaha! I am thinking on whether I can handle 4 blogs total. I can barely update the last one. Since I am still deliberating on whether it is worth it (it has always been worth it), I am checking out the best website hosting services that are listed down for the year 2009.

I do not want to get a hosting service that will give me a headache as I barely have time left anymore. I want something that will make it easy for me. I want a hosting service that even an 8-year old can handle. This is precisely the reason why I am doing my research and reading up all that I can and I thank God that I stumbled on the site, webhostingrating.com. It really gives the essential information that I need. I am on the "Getting Familiar with Your Control Panel" article and I must say it has shed some light on some areas. My other blog has its own cpanel and I barely even touch it. I am afraid I might do something to it that will lead to irrecoverable error. I am not techie you see and the html codes that I know are the ones that I use often. Other than that, I have zero knowledge. Hehehe.

So you see, if I have a blog, you can have a blog yourself. It is so easy to have one these days especially since we have sites such as webhostingrating.com to help us out.
