Yet we still did not have our Christmas tree up. I am having second thoughts because we got a crawling baby in the house. So I am thinking of a baby-friendly decors. Maybe we will just hang a star or paste a greetings decor on the wall. I am going to surely miss my tree this year. This is suppose to be its 5th year. My cousin is happy because she got hers from the artificial christmas trees shop and it’s now up. The tree won’t be caged anymore because her toddle son is sort cooperative now.

Are you happy that Christmas is here once again?

As you can see, this blog is active in one food meme.  The only food meme i joined for several months now.  With my kind of work, i think am able to take many food photos so i thought of joining another food meme.

I know joining meme is fun but it can’t be denied that a blogger has a responsibility of visiting the participants of the meme especially to the ones that visited you.   So instead of learning how to play playstation 3 , a good friend will teach me – i am going to join Food Friday and Yummy Sunday.

Food Friday is hosted by Mailah

They looked a bit wrinkly. That is the result when they are covered while still hot. Actually we ordered them and we picked them up they are still moderately warm.

I love this yet i haven’t cook this at home yet. Maybe one day.

Happy food tripping everyone!

Does a big chunk of your hard-earned money usually end up in the cash registers of shops and not in your savings account?

Come payday do you always give in to temptation of shopping? Are you having a hard time striking a balance between saving and spending?

Here’s a quick and simple test to one determine if she is a smart saver or a big spender. All you need to do is rate the following statement based on a scale of 1-7. “1″ being never and “7: being often. Then, compute for your total score.

• I can walk into a store, look around and not buy anything.
• I have a budget and stick to it faithfully
• I stuck to my budget this month
• I pay my bills in full and on time
• When i go to the grocery, I bring a list
• I feel guilty when i make unplanned purchases

If your score is below 25 points then you are on the right track.  Keep it up!  But if it is 25 and above means you are spending a little too much and saving a little to less.  Saving is tough, especially when the urge to splurge becomes overwhelming.

for the best acne treatment introduced to me. She said that she can proved it herself that it is good because she is a user. It was also recommended to her by young ladies who have acne problems and who tried many products just to get rid of thei acne. Acne is really a nightmare for those who have not experience even a major pimple episode since highschool. So i have to thank ate L for this best cream so far.

My daughter took this photo while they attended the first profession vows of my aunt’s neice in-law. I was not able to go along this trip because i have lots of work to do in the office. And i also remember browsing for remote backup service because i was asked to do by another blogger friend who wants to have a professional backup services.

Photo unedited except for the size.

I am not a shopaholic but i would accept that am an impulse shopper when am full of stress.  When am not feeling so much good about myself, there would always be more to my shopping list if i go out.  So i can relate when my cousin was whining about shopping list and being her buying the stuff that she thought she would need but ended up just storing them. But not Kettlebell she needs it for her husband so even though she bought it without second thoughts she does not have regrets. She is also sharing the dvds with her brother inlaws.

Last Friday, without a shopping list, i went out to the mall to check out some mobile phones.  Instead of a phone, i purchased me again a new footwear (slip-on). Can be used in church as well as office, too.
