Addicted!

It started when I downloaded a demo Game Apps for my IPod Touch that had me literally going gaga over with. If you’ve heard about Sally’s Spa and actually played it, you would know what I mean. It’s one of those Time Management games that you could find all over the internet. Unfortunately, I only got the limited free version on my ITouch, but I was seriously considering buying the full version of the game. However, when I tried to download a free trial and played it on my laptop, I realized that I’d like to play it better on the computer because it has a wider screen and better resolution. It’s quite addicting I tell you. I couldn’t get myself to stop playing and before I know it, I find myself searching for all kinds of Time Management games online. Oh, boy, I got hooked! I’ve played Cooking Dash, Wedding Dash 2, Jo Jo’s Fashion Dash, Miriel the Magical Merchant to name a few of my favorites, and of course Sally’s Spa. The 1-hour trial version is definitely not enough so I’m going to buy the unlimited full version of Sally’s Spa and Cooking Dash tonight.

TGIF!

Are you excited with the 4th of July fireworks display in your cities or towns? Well, I am. It’ll be my second time this year to witness the said activity. We live in a small town and 4th of July is probably the only time of the year that you can see heavy traffic here in our place, that’s when everyone wants to go home after the fireworks show. That’s one of the reasons I’m excited, lol! On a different note, I’m inspired to use the treadmill lately. Guess why? Ok, never mind, I’ll tell you why. I lost another 1.5 pounds this week, so that makes it 3 pounds for the last 2 weeks. Not bad! I didn’t starve myself, neither did I meticulously choose what food to eat. I just got serious with my walking routine on the treadmill. I tried not to cheat for 2 weeks now. With the rate things are going, I may not need to take even the best diet pills at all.

Sonata serenades us on The Big Day

I am a self-confessed hopeless romantic. It has always been a dream of mine to get a balladeer to sing for me and my guests on my dream wedding. Someone who can sing the songs of Gary Valenciano and Martin Nievera from the heart. I was lucky that my good friend Joanne actually know of somebody who can do it for me. The group had sung for her wedding and she highly recommended them. I’ve checked their website and listened to a sample of his songs and right then and there, I knew I'd have to have them on my wedding. I didn’t wait long enough to contact the group and finally last weekend, we’ve made it official! I booked Sonata Singers for my upcoming wedding in the Philippines. Woohooo!

Someplace like home

Ozark has been my home for almost 2 years now. This is where I’ve learned to drive and found my first ever job in the U.S. It’ll always have a soft spot in my heart. However, it has been a plan of ours to look for another place to settle in. It may be in the next few months or couple of years, we don’t know yet. It all depends on when will hubby be able to find another U.S. Corps job in another powerhouse. Even so, we already made plans for a future move. Of course, you have the moving expenses to think about so we’ve already anticipated that. I’m sure it’s not going to be easy to uproot yourselves and your belongings from one place to another but we take comfort with the fact that we can always use the skills of expert cross country movers. Unlike in the Philippines where you can just ask your family and friends to help you move, here in the U.S. it's either you do it yourselves or you pay someone to do it for you. I think the latter sounds good!

Blessing in disguise

There is a new romantic comedy show in GMA Pinoy TV that started airing 2 weeks ago. It’s a Jolina-Marvin starrer with Dennis Trillo and Jennica Garcia. I’ve always been a fan of Jolina-Marvin so I make it a point to watch the show marathon every Saturday morning. Unfortunately, they moved it to an earlier timeslot so I missed it on Saturday. Thanks to the power of Internet, I was able to watch one week's worth of episodes today. The downside is that the website of the videos has lots of advertisement pop-ups to the point that it kind of get annoying. But of course, it’s what keeps the website going, the commercials. Actually, not all ads are worthless. My attention was caught by a small ad about Dansko. It’s quite perfect since I’m looking to buy for a new pair of good quality footwear.
