dramas of my life

I have never yet encountered a girl that is not into fashion. Some girls even make shopping there way to unwind. If you asked me, yes, I am that typical girl who just love to shop and shop. Sometimes, I wish I could just buy anything without thinking of the expenses.

But most of us don’t buy on impulse. We buy if according to the majority is a good thing to buy. Luckily there is a serialized story of four strong women in the web who share their love and life, their shopping tips and professional insights.

I got lucky. Yeah, you heard me right. Online luck strikes me when i was not expecting it. I am still on a holiday mood, i think until Jan 5.

But starting Jan 6, I would be lonesome again…haha! It would only be Anevay and me in the house. And from that day I would again be starting my countdown until hubby comes home for a vacation. That’s the life of a family with a member who is working abroad.

But still no matter how short his vacation is I am very much thankful to our LORD. We are thankful, really because we are blessed.

One time while staring in the mirror, I noticed that my skin is no longer the same as it was when I was younger. Maybe because LUPUS has also been creating havoc to my skin. In the years before having LUPUS, I am not much into skin products that promise improvement. I just make sure to wash my face with a facial wash morning and evening.

But as I age plus having LUPUS, I noticed that marks are appearing in my face. Sometimes, red scar if my LUPUS is active. I tried using beauty product to conceal what I called ‘imperfection’ but the product just make it worst.

The new year is only one day away and as we say goodbye to the year that was we are looking forward to the year that is about to unfold. As we celebrate the unfolding some of us wants to have a fresh start. Fresh start which might include using new things and having a new look.

Some would even go to the extent of changing their god given looks. Thanks to technology, one can achieve the looks that he or she wants through cosmetic surgery. It’s nicer also that some cosmetic surgeons have website that talks about everything you need to know before you take the plunge.

Once while blog hopping I found an article written by a fellow blogger about George Lindemann Jr. She was talking about an interesting man who also likes want the ordinary people likes and that he is also a spiritual man.

The entry sparks some curiousity in me and I started thinking who this man is. I think he is a man worth blogging so I followed the link and through to her words he is what she wrotes he is.  An interesting man who reads One-minute Manager, Where is God when it Hurts?, The Jesus I Never Knew .

We went to the mall today. Primarily because we would be buying something. But then I saw a dental clinic and encourage hubby to undergo some cleaning which he badly wanted since he arrived.

If a pediatric dentist is in the clinic I would have also arranged for a check up of Anevay’s teeth. After having done all the restorations in my teeth I am now aware of the fact that teeth should be well taken care of. If not as you grow older you will be suffering the consequences.

I always say that numbers and computing them are not my cup of tea. I always dislike numbers. So, I surprised myself that during my last few years in my previous work I was checking the computations of sales documents. And I think I done that job well for someone who is vocal of not liking numbers.

Now that we are planning to venture into a different quadrant as Robert Kiyosaki wrotes, I told hubby to look for someone to take care of the accounting. Although he is confident on my skills to do such I on the other hand am not that confident. We might seek the help of my sister and her husband since both are on the accounting side. Another option is to hire an accounting firm just like some San Diego accounting.

So here goes my vacation story which I will be doing in three separate entries.

But I think you might be asking, why Cebu ? Well, for one I plan this vacation because I want something different to happen during hubby’s vacation. And since we have not yet have an out of town trip as a family I thought of going somewhere far from home. Which includes riding an airplane. This will also test how Anevay and I would be on the trip. And Cebu because it was the first thing that come to my mind haha!

There are a lot of changes in the house. Changes that hubby made to make sure that everything will be convenient for me. Especially now that I am all alone at the house with Anevay. With no household help.

One week from now he will be leaving. And he is cramming with all the stuff that he is still planning to do. I guess with a lot to do with less time he will need to cancel some of his plans. Like putting the cabinet to store some bathroom vanities. This will be a to do for his next vacation.

This Christmas is different. It is a lot happier for us since hubby is here with us, Anevay is turning into a smart and healthy kid and me getting better as a lupie.

As part of our Christmas tradition ( on my family side) we went to our paternal relatives. This brings both joy and sorrow to me. 

Everytime I see my surviving aunts and uncles, I cannot help but be sad because they reminds me of my papa and mommy. Everytime they look at Anevay with certain fondness, my heart bleds with the fact that mommy and papa were not here to see and enjoy their grandchildren. And everytime I see signs of old age, I know the time is growing near.
