yay, we're moving!



Today, My hubby and his sister were talking today on the phone. Like I Said on my previous post, It's official! we're moving to San Diego within this year, like in a few months. I believe we won't be spending our Christmas in dear ol' Honolulu. I can't believe it up to now, you know - that we've finally decided to move for good. Hawaii has been great to us, but like I said, we need to move on and find more opportunities in another place. So all we did today was plan, like how we're gonna get rid of our stuff, mostly the bulk ones are gonna be sold, the mostly used furnitures are either gonna go to the dumpster or maybe passed on to friends who still needs it. I decided my fishes are going to my filipina friend at work, auntie Ana. She asked me one day that If we decided to leave I could pass my lil fishies to her. And some of the canned goods and electronics will be shipped to hubby's home in the Philippines. I need to get rid of a lot of stuff, too - which I'm not too happy about (Icried so much today) . But that's ok, we need to bring as little as possible with us, we need a fresh start, a new beginning. The last one to be shipped is our Van maybe 3 days before our trip. Moving can be so stressful, especially when you live in the Islands. I just wish Hawaii was connected to the mainland, at least we'll just hire the movers like the moving companies New York to help us relocate our stuff, wish it was that easy, huh. anyways, I am off for 4 days so that gives me enough time to go though my stuff and sort it out to lessen the junk we have.

losing the love handles



Ok, so everyday my hubby keeps on telling me that after his contract ends on August he'll be working out with me often. Oh, ok - I'll believe it when that time comes. I did go back to the gym but it's been a few weeks already and I feel soooo bloated, I need something to motivate me losing weight. I want to lose some pounds before we leave Hawaii, but I know hubby is sincere and It can sure motivate me more when he exercises with me, we'll be doing a lot of walking for sure. I'm starting to lose a little bit and I'm pretty sure I sound like a broken record to you by now. Anyways, I need to read some reviews about this appetite suppressant that I'm so interested in, maybe it will work for me, who knows.

depression?



Sometimes, I'm just so fed up with everything online... I want to rant but there are no words coming out. I feel like I have nobody at all but my family, you know. Some of you know that feeling, it comes and goes and I am just wishing this crappy feeling would just disappear! hmm, maybe my hormones are going haywire... I blame it on my period for coming and going and IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!

I badly need a check up. There are days I lose my interest on blogging, flickr, facebook, twitter... everything to me is zero and I feel so abandoned. Maybe a few days from now I'll probably get over these feelings... There's just a lot of things going on at this moment and I don't really wanna disclose it yet on my blog. I'm happy and sad at the same time...

So It's official, we're moving to San Diego around October or November. Earlier than I thought. (sniff)



watermelons + other stuff




Sack and Save had a great deal on their watermelons! 19 cents a lb! regular price is 59 cents a lb. see the difference? We don't really buy watermelons here because it's sooo darn expensive. I'm not sure how much a lb is it in the mainland? I bought one seedless and one regular. This was around the 4th of July, we miss eating watermelon! In other news, I finally got to update my This and that blog and my Shopping blog and I'm not even done yet especially with the links, if you're interested please leave a tag and I will link you as soon as possible when I have the time. I miss blogging so much, as well as my beloved online sisters... I'm spending a lot of time on flickr, facebook and twitter and I wasn't aware taht I've been neglecting my dear poor blogs! how awful of me... but I promise, I'll stick to it. :) thank you and God bless!

things to do, things to do


I'm just relaxing right now. It's already the 10th and each day is getting closer until I go back to work. I cherish this 2 week vacation I requested. my boss insisted I take it because I have lots of use or lose leave that's about 140+ hours and she doesn't want that to go to waste. That's true. The last vacation time I had that was about last year around August, when I wanted to spend more time with my brother because I knew if I didn't take it then I might regret it sooner. It wasn't a vacation of luxury, I was stressed and worried of everything. I was sad and emotional, buckets and buckets of tears flowed out of me... weeks of mourning... It wasn't a good vacation for me.

Now, I can say I have a good 2 weeks of spending time with my family. bonding with my family just relaxes me so much, not to mention picking up after my son everytime he makes a mess. hubby requesting for food every now and then (LOL) but all in all... It's peaceful around here! I have a list of things to do while I still have 1 more week to go.

THINGS TO DO:

- clean the house. - clean the bathroom. - organize the pantry and refrigerator. - organize the closets. - organize Nate's stuff. - organize my personal stuff. - back up and organize my computer files. (before something happens!) - throw away we don't need anymore. - develop some pictures at Longs. - finish a scrap page for a friend who's leaving. - make scrap pages for my supervisor's new wall. - go to the pool! - change the beddings. - do laundry. - go to the GYM.

I have a lot on my plate right now, but I'll take it one at a time. see ya!

linksys routers


We do have our own Linksys router here at home and I'm telling you ever since hubby bought it I've been browsing smoothly with our wireless connection using my laptop. before, I used to just have my own work desk but usually browsing around hours and hours at a time just gives me a back ache, so hubby ran to the nearest store to buy one. And from then on I am browsing smoothly than ever. If you're interested on any linksys routers by Cisco, try checking out Buy.com they have awesome prices there, too If you haven't shopped there yet. enjoy!

under renovation


Well, I decided to go for a new look and make things much much organized and easier... I finally switched to blogger's XML templates (goodbye classic). It's kinda hard tweaking it but I am enjoying my simple blogy blix theme. I still have to add a lot of sidebar contents and just in case you don't see your link there - please understand that I am still currently fixing my links, I am in the process of deleting broken links as well. so yeah...

I'm on 2 weeks leave, yayy! I am so happy coz I get to blog again, of course. finish some lil projects I need to do like the scrap page I am giving away for a co-worker/friend that is leaving for the Philippines around the 27th of July. and I'm currently making scrap pages for my supervisor's new office wall, she told me it was soooo bare! I'm truly honored, I may say. The little one's summer school ended today but I didn't make him go to school anymore due to his coughing. he had a fever the other day and yesterday he was fine since he went to school but now he is coughing really bad. All you can smell here in the house is Tylenol grape flavor and Vicks. poor guy... anyway, as I was saying, summer school has ended and now I have plenty of time to do the things I needed to do like organize the closets and the pantry and throw away or donate the things we really don't need around here. general cleaning, of course! and make time for the GYM, I am soooo happy coz after going back to the gym for 2 days I've seen results from my pants, can you believe that? I really need to stick to it, besides I don't have to pay for it like I used to back in 24hr fitness in 2004, It's one of the greatest benefits of working for the federal. I also need to finish my brother Gully's memorial website before Aug. 17, 2009 to mark his 1st death anniversary. I am also planning to revamp (how many times do I have to say this?) my This and that blog, I still wanna keep that and no plans of deleting it. hmmm... what else? I think that's it. I'll keep you guys posted... to my visitors who still come here and visit, I LOVE YOU, GUYS!!! Godspeed.
