Oh it’s hotter than usual these days, our poor a/c is overused and I won’t be surprised if our PUB this month is much higher too. It would be nice to go to the beach to go swimming though an indoor pool is probably a better idea. I don’t want me or my little girl to have sunburn. She loves the water and I know once she’s in the pool she will have so much fun with her pool toys. Maybe when my parents and sister are here we can schedule a day to go swimming, it would be more fun that way.

I’m feeling exhausted these days. The move is two weeks away and I there’s still lots of things I should do. We’ve had a lot of potential new tenants coming over to view this flat so we have to keep everything neat and tidy, which is a challenge when you are trying to put things in boxes. I make time to relax at night when hubby can take care of the little girl. I watch my favorite shows or read articles online about home decorating and even phenphedrine reviews. It is such a good way to unwind after a long day. There’s still a lot to be done but I’m trying not to rush since I have ample time to finish eveything.
I love Criminal Minds, it’s one of my favorite TV shows along with CSI, Grey’s Anatomy, Ghost Whisperer, Desperate Housewives, Smallville and One Tree Hill. It is probably on top of my list right now. Makes me wonder if self defense products really comes in handy in times of an attack. Okay so maybe I’m watching too much crime shows but hey these things happen in real life and I think it’s okay to learn ways or have means to defend ourselves.
We went to the mall today to checkout Harvey Norman at Millenia Walk and also Muji at Marina Square. The little girl insisted on bringing her Minnie Mouse stuff toy with us, she cried when I tried to leave it behind. I always let her take Minnie when we go to the grocery but this is the first time she brought her to the mall with us. Other than that she was so behaved today, I love it when she just let me hold her hand and we walk side by side rather than her walking ahead of us (or running). We went to my favorite bookstore and I got some magazines for me, I love browsing the aisles of books and of course browsing gossip magazines too. I even saw an article about Colonix and some swoon worthy photos of Rob Pattinson. We headed home shortly after dinner, good thing the mall wasn’t so crowded.
I must admit that I don’t eat as healthy as I should be. It’s probably because growing up we were never really taught to eat our veggies and fruits. It’s only now that I try to include vegetables on my meals, getting older makes me want to take care of my health more (same goes for hubby too). I’m looking for healthy recipes online, planning the menu for the week is challenging and sometimes I ran out of ideas. I’m also reading articles online about colon cleanse and dietary requirements. Tomorrow would be grocery shopping day for us. I better start making my grocery list now, I don’t want to forget anything again.
We’re moving to our flat by the end of this month and while I’m really excited about the move I know it’s going to be a busy and tiring month for us. I feel tired just thinking all the things I have to do. This week I have a lot of phone calls to make. I have to get a balikbayan box for our old/unused things that I won’t be bringing to the new flat like our old bedsheets. These are not really “old” things but I have a lot of coordinating bedsheets and I can’t everything in the designated drawer anymore. Besides I like to shop for new ones
We have lots of other things we don’t use anymore and it’s better to give those away than put it in storage again. I also have to moving company to have a quote on how much it would cost us to shift all our items to the new place, it’s really just a couple of blocks away but I bet it would be $200 or more. I’ll get boxes too and probably start packing after easter. I also have to call the contractor to get the quote for the minor renovations we want to do in the kitchen and living room, I hope it won’t cost us an arm and a leg. I also have to find information on cheap credit card processing because a friend requested I help her out. Ahh can you tell I’ll be really busy?
