A ME time
Yesterday while Anevay was napping, I asked my husband to look after her so that I could go to a nearby saloon for a trim and pedicure. It was my first time in that saloon since I always have my hair treatment with AZTA in Robinsons. I really don’t have a choice now since I am pressed for time. So, I got my trim and much needed foot spa and pedicure. While on the saloon, the staff were gossiping. That was the first time I heard of the news about the charge filed against the Calayans. The way the staff talk about the matter was so funny. And then since one of the customer is an old lady and is complaining about her aches she told her about the Botox for migraines. We all laugh when the old lady told him that she would surely researched about it and try it because she has lots of money. The saloon and its hair dresser are quite entertaining i tell you.

My realization
For the past four months of so, I have not been blogging actively. I attribute this to the depression I am dealing because of the medical check up I needed to undergo before we can be given entry visa to Kuwait. As I have expected I have something that put me to UNFIT TO WORK list because I have a past lung problem that left a scar which the xray detected.

Plans for the future
Now we have definite plans for the future. And I think the failure to get the stamp for the visa is a blessing in disguise. It now give me a motivation to make sure that after five years everything is settled and hubby does not need to go to Kuwait for work. One of the plans is putting up a business. Hubby and I have been reading a lot of books and we found out that a corporation is a much better way of doing business in terms of taxes.

Do you think ?
I can afford those mens gold watches using my own money ? hahaha! of course not! Since I am a SAHM, I don’t have any money. I am broke! Although the husband insist of giving a monthly allowance that I can used in anyway I want. But man! where is my conscience if i spend his hard earned money on things that we don’t really need, right ? This has been a constant concern to me now since I was accustomed to having a monthly salary. Everytime that there is a special occasion I end up being depressed because i don’t have money to buy gifts. Especially if its for my dear husband. Oh well! Right now I am thinking of possible ways to suprise him on the 19th. I am praying for some good ideas. So goodluck to me!

On overtime
That’s me! Actually its already 1am and I still have five more sidelines to go. I am using hubby’s laptop because my older sister is using mine. Although she is now sleeping I choose to continue what I am doing using the thinkpad of my husband. I am too tired to switch and somehow his thinkpad makes me feel good because it brings back memories of me working. And reminds me of the parts. Ah! IBM products, whatever it is, may it be that ATM machine I am using, or the POS mach in the counter, of the desktop or monitor being used, it reminds me a lot of things. Good and bad!

Anniversary gift
I am here in the Philippines, and hubby will be in Kuwait on our wedding anniversary. It’s our third year of being husband and wife. Unlike last year wherein he was able to go home, this year since he choose to be here on my birthday so we would be celebrating our anniversary away from each other. But I am still thinking of a way to give him my gift. The way he had surprised me on the eve of my birthday by giving me an earring and a necklace. I already have something on my mind but I still cannot forget the Patek Nautilus watch that I saw. Although right now he already has a watch which I gave as gift to him last year. So I think I would stick to the gift I have on my mind.

Summer vacation ‘08
As I have been blogging, my husband is at home right now. He is on leave from April 25 to May 10. He will be leaving again for Kuwait this Saturday. So sad! But that’s life. Our original plan is that for this time we would be leaving with him. Meaning we will be moving to Kuwait (me and Anevay). But unfortunately, this was not God’s plan for us. I already have the visa but when i undergo the medical, my Xray showed pleural thickening in my left lung. This is the result of my lung operation due to pleurisy in 2004.

Celebrating my 29th
May has been one of my favorite month. Because of three things : my birthday, mother’s day and our wedding anniversary. As a child, I always look forward to the cake that my papa would take home during my birthday. One of the celebration that I won’t forget is my 7th birthday. It was the first time I have balloons on my birthday. And when I was 15, I was so sad because my birthday coincides with the 9th day of Mommy passing away. I was an orphan at 15. Then on my 23rd birthday I was bedridden because of LUPUS. Last year, I got quite a scare during my birthday because my rheuma told me that I might undergo chemotherapy and then hubby is in Kuwait.
