Since my list for potential gifts for my mom ran out last christmas, I have to look for gifts for moms this early. I don’t exactly know what to get my mom for mother’s day yet, and I need your help, my dearest readers.

I have no idea what to get her, and it’s all up to you guys! If you must know, her favourite colour is purple, and she loves sour food. I just want to repay her for all of the amazing things she did for me and my siblings, and I guess the only way I can show that to her is through presents, aside from contributing to our house bills, haha!

What kind of presents did you give your mom this Christmas? Please, share it with me so I can get some ideas! I would greatly appreciate it. The comments section of this post is free for all, and I’ll make sure I read them all and put them into consideration. Thanks a lot!

Our bath tub’s shower hose got broken recently, and I don’t even have any idea how that is humanely possible, but hey, there’s nothing we can do about that anymore.

My mom wanted the hose fixed, so she had it repaired, but it doesn’t really look very pleasing anymore. Do you guys know of any good brands with a flexible metal hose? I don’t want to buy a new hose that will end up the same way as our default one. Apparently my mom isn’t very good at judging the quality of things like these, and knowing me, I don’t even have any experience in the house appliance/furniture department, so I wouldn’t even trust myself to shop for things like this. What do you think?

Please, help us by sharing good brands or shops for this. THE FUTURE OF OUR HYGIENE DEPENDS ON YOUR RESPONSE! Hahaha, kidding, but you get the point!

Since it’s the christmas season, I’ve began to worry about what presents I should get for certain people in my life.

I have had most of them figured out, but one of the things I haven’t settled for yet would be possible christmas gifts for mom. I already got her a wallet for her birthday (which I’m happy to see that she uses everyday), and that’s the only thing I put on the list I made whenever I notice that people need or want certain things…

I’d get her shoes, but she has these specific types of shoes that she can’t wear. She has wide toes, so I don’t think getting her just any shoe would work. I don’t want to give her gift certificates either. I want to give her something with a personal touch, something she knows I’ve thought of so hard to get / achieve / give to her. I’m really running out of ideas, though.

Do you have any suggestions? What kind of presents are you getting your parents this year?

I went to visit my sister’s apartment in her university because she confessed that she was having issues with her roommate, and that her roommate has been seriously hard to get along with, not to mention stressful in a way that she couldn’t concentrate on her studies anymore. While I went in there and the apartment was empty, I could not help but notice how there were cords and cables EVERYWHERE.

It was an eyesore and I couldn’t help but cringe whenever I stepped on something for fear of tripping and losing a tooth if I ever fall flat on my face. I definitely need to get my sister one of those cord covers. Knowing her, she actually might fall flat on her face with a bigger chance than me.

It’s quite hard to get along with people, but there are some who just don’t know where and how to react politely and be civil. That’s the problem with her roommate, and if my sister trying to talk to her didn’t work out, I am obliged to step in and kick her out.

Nothing makes a camp out epic like an outdoor firepit. I love those moments. When I was young (around five years old) and when my siblings and I went to the beach that our family had one summer. We found this firepit and decided to go and find things to roast by the fire. I ended up playing with candlewax and cringing everytime I touched a newly melted wax, then giggling and playing with the dried wax on my fingers afterwards.

I even begged my mom to get our new house one because I wanted to kidnap my siblings at night and roast marshmallows and smores by the fire. I’d pretend I was a girl scout and wear green clothes and prance around by the fire. My siblings would make shadow stories until I went to sleep.

I’d say those were the best years of my childhood.

Do you have interesting fire stories to share with us? Please do so in the comments section of this post!

My friend hilary is moving in with her husband tomorrow and we’re holding a house warming party for her.

We’d bring food that we ourselves have cooked and eat them all in their new terrace while discussing trivial things such as their future plans for the family, and how many kids they want to have! It’s time to scare them half to death since they started moving on towards the next step. Teehee.

Their new house is simply fantastic, and the best thing that I love about it would be the view from the roof top. The view is just priceless. You get to see the landscape of the whole city from there, and I could just imagine the fireworks that she’d be able to see during New Years.

I’m still considering what new house gift I should get her. She seems to have everything covered! Hahaha.

I’m so happy for her and her husband. I hope they have a happy marriage, much like my parents.

Silly old me decided I would spend the weekend just lounging around in my bedroom because the weather outside was too hot.

Imagine this: My sister called me while I was in bed and invited to treat me outside the house with her sweet husband. I thanked her for the offer and politely refused because I really couldn’t muster up the strength to shower and get dressed.

I spent the entire afternoon taking random naps and randomly raiding the fridge whenever I get hungry. All of this was done while I was patiently waiting for my friends to come over.

Oddly enough, while I was just about to shower, my friends arrived– and with a surprise guest. One of them bought their mother with him! Imagine having to meet your friend’s mom for the first time with your hair all shiny and you smelling like the jungle. I was mortified but thank god, I survived.

We ended up talking about their family business- 5th wheel insurance. I smiled and nodded while cringing at the thought of how horrid I looked at the moment.

And the moral of the story is: Always shower. Seriously!

There has always been something about jewelry that intimidates everyone. Ever since the dawn of man, accessories have been a vital part of our social lives.

Way back when formal politics were still out of the question, tattoos, clothing and jewelry were used to determine one’s rank and role in the tribe or country. Now it mostly symbolizes one’s social status and/or income.

It has been said that wedding rings determine how one’s marriage will go, that if you spent a lot of money on the ring, you’ll be sure to have a wonderful marriage without any form of hardship.

I beg to differ. That is not the case. There are people who spent millions on their wedding rings only to find that their husband cheated on them a few months after.

Wedding rings do not determine how the marriage will go, but it sure is one thing that would be the key to reminiscing the good old days, and it wouldn’t hurt to show it off to your friends, too! A friend of mine fancied scott kay rings, and I checked it out and fancied a few rings myself.

I’m definitely going to get one of those for my own.

I was busy dealing with website issues when I got a message from one of my colleagues saying that a massive earthquake hit Japan and warned people near the Pacific Ocean about possible Tsunami – my country included. I panicked. For some reason I had an eerie feeling that there’s an earthquake in our area as well… I looked up at the office’s Murray Feiss lighting for a quick second just to check that it’s not swaying or anything. It wasn’t.

Having reassured myself that there’s no earthquake in the area, I quickly typed the event in Google for confirmation and saw that a massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit the Pacific Ocean which caused damage with blackouts, fire and tsunami in Northeastern Japan.

A few clicks after, I also saw that certain areas in my country might indeed be hit by a Tsunami as a result of the said earthquake. I immediately got a hold of my phone and forwarded the message to people I care about. I didn’t even notice that the message my colleague sent had a misspelling and the magnitude of the earthquake was wrong until after I have forwarded the message. It doesn’t matter though, what’s important is that I was able to inform them about what happened and have given them a proper warning. Now all I could do was pray that they’re all safe.

During our break, I tried to call my friends in Japan to check how they were. I still don’t have news up to now but I’m hoping that they’re safe.

Have you ever watched that movie, the 27 Dresses? I kind of felt like I was the person in the lead role. Most of my friends are married now, and I have helped them organize and get things done to lessen their bridal worries.

I don’t necessarily collect all the wedding dresses that I get from it though. It just feels nice to help out, you know?

Maybe one day I’ll find the person whom I won’t ever regret meeting, and he’ll accept me for who I am, and I to him. That movie gives me goosebumps everytime, I tell you, and it makes me think about many things. When will my time come? Would it be as amazing as I have always imagined it to be?

I hope so. I really do.
