I am sure she will be loved by the whole blogosphere together with your other pretty Ninangs – Fedhz, Niko and Kaye.

I hope to see you soon Sati!

If you love fabulous clothes and expensive jewellery it doesn’t mean it can’t be friendly to the environment.

These wonderful pieces – eco friendly engagement rings – are created with the uncut diamonds and other precious and semi-precious stones and are nature inspired in their themes, structure and design.

There are many other ways you can support the planet. Buying eco-friendly or recycled clothing and paper products as well as opting for fair trade foods is always good.

And the beach is just a couple of minutes away. Going to the beach you will also see lots of Outdoor Planters planted with Bougainvillea. It’s so cheerful everywhere you look because of the plants. I love it!

We can just get out and walk to the beach for some exercise. This morning I also checked out what kind of activities I can do on my spare time. It’s time I do some other things beside from sitting behind my laptop.

What’s only a bit of a drag from living in a condo is that there are some neighbors upstairs that are plain inconsiderate! They have been throwing cigarette butts on our balcony all the time, I already complained to the management about this and I do hope it stops soon. I don’t think it’s the neighbor one floor up because they have Planters around their balcony so it means they hardly go to that side where I always see the ciggy butts.

My hubby actually has a soft spot for european furniture but I think when we have our house built in our farm we will go more for asian themed furnishings. He does insist that we bring our living room set that we bought in Holland. That’s alright, atleast we will still have a piece of Holland with us.

I have , lots of times. When I was studying, I used to plan on ditching the television for a week so I can study more. I’m sure you can guess what happened next. I ended up resenting myself for the deprivation and watched television anyway.

We can apply this concept to planning a budget for your family. Sometimes, budget plans never materialize because they only look good on paper. In reality, depriving your family of the small things that make them laugh can be detrimental. If it means you will enjoy each other’s company by spending an hour or two in virtual gaming bliss, surely the cost of purchasing an xbox or a playstation is worth it.

Besides spending quality time as a family, you can help improve your kids’ morale by playing games with them. Considering these reasons, I can say that buying a gaming console like Xbox 360 or Playstation can be the best investment during the times when we have to tighten our belts.

Instead of cutting entertainment out of the budget without thinking of the consequences, find other means of saving cash. If, for instance, you have been going out as a family twice a month to watch a movie, maybe you can opt to play some games at home instead. Of course, you can still prepare popcorn to eat while you’re playing.

In the end, it’s the time that you spend together that really matters. If your family is not into video games, you can play snake and ladders, scrabble or other board games instead.

Anyway my gosh I cannot believe it has been that long already. I am very fortunate to find Jules, my better half 7 years ago and I am looking forward to all the 77 years more that we will be together. He’s a wonderful person and he’s a part of me, meaning my life is meaningless without him in it.

I won’t stay too long as I still need to finish up packing. See you Tuesday my lovelies, and watch out for the Hong Kong - Macau Trip stories!

Some may wonder why I buy a lot of candies but I know most of you understood the importance of candies during Christmas. Admit it or not, Christmas is for the kids and those young at hearts. What else can make kids happy but of course, CANDIES!

Did you know that in some parts of the world, there is a tradition of hanging socks before Christmas? They say that Santa would fill it with gifts or goodies.

When I was a kid, I dream of hanging a humongous size sock and hope that Santa can fill it with my favorite toys. Of course now, I know Santa is real, but thanks to my hubby, he has been my Santa since we were together (this coming Christmas, I am planning to hang a pillow case instead of sock). Back to candies, now that I am already an adult, and still TTC (trying to conceive), I have my nephews and nieces to think of. We will be bringing home a lot of candies for their socks and some of it we can use for giveaways and game prizes.
