Payday Bazaar Finds

37

One thing I truly look forward to every other Friday, apart from getting my fortnightly pay of course, is the Payday Bazaar that we have at work. I used to participate there, along with my cousin Freedah but we’ve long since given up on that particular business venture. There was a time that I looked forward to the children’s books sold at the bazaar and I picked up many books from there throughout the years. Books that my nephews (and nieces too) have really enjoyed and learned from. There’s also a lot of food stuff at the bazaar. I always look forward to getting either a pasta fix, or California maki. I’d sometimes get ref cake like the Congo Mango Arianne once made, or even small cups of blueberry cheesecake. I used to also take home packs of chocolatey stuff. 

Last night, I got mini chocolate cupcakes and gave one piece for each of my agents, in celebration of a teammate’s birthday. Hehe πŸ™‚ It was yummy and it was good that they were bite-sized. 

Before going home this morning I checked out this new seller. I wanted to get a keychain/bag charms from her but I had to admit that they weren’t really a need for me (but they were so cute and would show the shopaholic in me – really very kikay, haha), I also wanted a clip-on light that she was selling. Ah, and there was this bag that was really just screaming at me to take it home!

I settled for these two items though – items that seem more suited for boys than a girly girl like me. Haha.

That’s a no-battery flashlight. Rechargeable by just pressing on that thingie on it’s side. I wouldn’t have to ever buy batteries for it! Plus it’s a stress reliever. πŸ™‚ The other one is a set of cute screwdrivers! Haha! The size is just perfect for those small screws on the PC, or on mom and dad’s (and Alfred’s) glasses, and on Frankie’s lenses. We’ll never have to look for just the right size of Phillips screwdrivers!

I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but these items satiated my shopaholic fix for the day – at bargain prizes too!

De-clutter

It’s been awhile but I scrapped a page yesterday! You’ve seen the photos, I know, but I still wanted to post the layout. Hehe.

In a way, what helped bring this on was a post on The Daily Digi here. But even before I read the article and some of the links attached I had already cleared up my work desk so I wouldn’t feel so cluttered. Having cleaned up here as well really makes a big difference. At least even when my mind is still a bit cluttered, my surroundings have improved. know what I mean?

I have come to enjoy visiting The Daily Digi, thanks to Tracy who told me all about it. I can’t put a finger on why I like going there, but I just do. And though I’ve kind of promised myself I wouldn’t buy digiscrap stuff anymore, I find it hard to resist the Digi Files. It’s such a steal, in my opinion. I will wait until the last minute to decide whether to get the bag or not, I have about ten days left…

I think I will tackle my truffles bag next. It’s a huge back that contains all the stuff I used to make and sell oreo truffles. It’s been months since I touched it and my mom has stowed it away in a big old cabinet. I’ve got to either take it out to rescue them, or throw most of them out. I’ve mentioned before that baking, and in this case, making oreo truffles de-stresses me. Maybe I should do it again if only to help unhinge me. Ah whatever…

——————————————————–

Iskra’s mom is back in town. But another friend is leaving for Abu Dhabi and will be staying there for probably the next two years and start a life with her husband. Though I don’t see her a lot when she was living here, it’s still going to be sad to think that it would now be even more difficult to just schedule get-togethers with her. But I do feel excited at the new she’s starting. And excited to see the girls again, now that my sister’s back! πŸ˜‰

Now you see it…. Now you don’t!

See anything different?

Haha! Now you see it, now you don’t!

What a difference a day makes huh? I was surprised when Alfred mentioned fixing up my desk this morning while I was still at work. Apparently, he cleared it out so he’d have space for his laptop which he needed to hookup to the EHD. Since he had started to move stuff already, he figured he’d go ahead and finish all the rest. When I got home, I supervised the cleaning. Hehe. πŸ™‚

I got an idea for a layout, and I hope I can get that done!

Anyway… I forgot to mention that on the before picture, it’s the Youtube girls Rin on the Rox on my screen. You’ve got to check out their YouTube channel: hiphoprox. They’re great, and I like most of their renditions, but so far my favorite’s gotta be this one:

Check them out!

Meaning to ain’t the same as Doing so

I’ve been meaning to update my blog with my Project 365 photos (because I haven’t done so in a loooooong time) but I keep on getting derailed. I guess the important thing about P365 is that I do get to take photos and they are like prompts that will let me post about things that have been happening to me since the year started. Getting to showcase them, is like icing on the cake.

I’ve been meaning to change my blog layout… I’ve got a number of ideas for the new layout and design but I haven’t made up my mind just yet. I am going to design it myself using available free templates of course. That’s why it’s taking so long and it will take longer to happen πŸ™‚

I’ve also been meaning to put up another blog, but this time one what that will have a specific topic. I’m not fully convinced on its viability though, the reason being when I started blogging, I wanted to be my blog to be a mixed bag of anything and everything that interested me. I wanted this place (and any other place you find me at) to be filled with whatever I was doing and anything that mattered to me. If I setup that other blog I’m thinking of then there’d be at least one less thing to blog here about… That wouldn’t be too bad though. This is not too high on my priority list though…

I’ve also been meaning to print out the planner templates I did before the year ended. I even managed to make month calendars. But one month is already over, and I’ve lived without a planner so I don’t really think I need them anymore. I do however, carrying a notebook around and I’ve gotten so use to having the planner in my bag. So what I’m probably going to do is tweak the templates I made so I can just have a normal noteboook. Or maybe not, having it sectioned off may still be a good idea? Ahh I’ll just print stickers to date them! Yeah maybe I’ll do that too! Okay I’m getting excited about this again…

There are so many other things I’ve been meaning to do but don’t get around to doing. That’s not so good is it? I guess life is full of that and there are some things that, if we always let them go right by us, we might regret in the future. That’s why I’m trying to do more and more of the things I really want to do so that this time next year, I won’t look back and feel any regret for the time I wasted.

Okay, here’s another thing I never really meant to do, but rather something I should: organize/clean up/declutter my computer desk! Look at the picture and tell me, does this look like a desk that a girl could stand to have?

day33

I’m not sure when fixing this up is ever going to get done (if it will by yours truly) but I know I’ll throwing away those soiled napkins right away (sorry, I still have runny nose). Haha. I’m almost tempted to think that I should look at the market for computer desks to find a better replacement for this one. Surely, there’s one out there that can better hide my clutter? πŸ˜‰

Just to make it clear though – not everything on the desk is mine. In short, it’s not my fault! wahaha!

The posts are back! :)

Did you notice? My lost posts are back, my siggy has reverted to the new one too! πŸ™‚ And something you won’t notice – I’m back to WP 2.7!

Several days ago, Philhosting support emailed to tell me they will restore my backup. I gave them my username/password but didn’t really pin my hopes on it. Two days later, voila! Granted, reverting to the back up erased my January posts, that’s no big deal since I had backups of my own already πŸ™‚

Does this mean I’ll stay put with Philhosting? No. I’m just not ready to move everything to Dreamhost yet.

Speaking of Dreamhost… Alfred’s blog is all setup! I hope you go scoot on over there and wave hi! He needs bloggy friends too πŸ™‚ Visit http://badodong.com

Day 9: Project 365

9

That’sΒ a photo of the window to my left at work; I look out this window everyday, several times of the day. On this night, there were fireworks! Too bad I couldn’t capture a better photo, but it’s there somewhere in the middle πŸ™‚ One other thing that’s good about this window? I have a big mirror! Haha! It’s not too good though when all it shows is my love handles. Hehe πŸ™‚

Anyway, I have more Project 365 photos to post but I am already sleepy. Time to don lingerieΒ and have some beauty sleep. Wait, it’s too cold for lingerie…
