Preps for Neo's First Birthday

I was so surprised to find out that I have not posted a blog about my one and only nephew Neo! So, I'm taking this time to post something about him. He'll be turning one this November! My sister is planning for the bday celebration but until now, she has not yet reserved a venue yet. She has crossed out several options, not just on the venue but on the party theme too. I can remember the first one she' contempating is Baby Einstein. But ended up with the idea of not getting a character theme... and came up with ... NEO is ONE. To help out with the preps, I invited our company graphic artist at our apartment to design the invitation. This master design will be used in the cake. We will be designing unique shirts that Neo will wear during his party... shirt prints like: I am 1 and "Birthday ko Ngayon". Still, we are still brainstorming for the souvenir...

Still, I can't post a picture of Neo. I don't keep photo files in my lap top kasi. But I promise, I'll post pictures of his birthday party : )

Europe trip... only in my dreams...

My officemate just got from a Europe trip. It has always been my dream to travel to Europe. Yes, Ive been to US (Ohio, Iowa, LA), Asian countries, but have not yet set foot in Europe. When I saw her pictures collated for a month, I said to myself that I'll definitely plan my trip in the very near future.

What I'm looking forward is that I get to relax for a month (definitely, a trip to Europe must be at least 1 month). Hope I can save all the money I need for shopping. I've been thinking of pampering myself by getting a booking in one of the elusive Rome Hotels. Wow, It's like in the movies! Or maybe, 2 nights reservation in Hotel Florence. I have imagined what the hotels would look like because I see a lot of movies & read a lot of books. I really would like to experience waking up in another country but will not go to work but a full day of sight- seeing, picture taking, window shopping & of course, shopping. I'm fond of collecting souvenirs from all the places I've been to.

This is still a dream. A dream that is possible. A dream close to reality. All I have to do is have the money (yaiks), the time (double yaiks, getting a 1 month leave is difficult). Well, theres no harm in dreaming. And I know I can pull this one. Hehehe, positive thinking... I have to condition myself that in anything I do I will be thinking that part of it will be for my trip. Wow, I can't help not imagining my self getting a booking online in Bed and breakfast Paris.

Time is up!!! back to work!

Way Back Into Love

Hello blog world! Whew, been into oblivion because of tons of work. Ive been talking about work for one month now & Im missing blogging. But because I have no exciting news to share, I just dropped by to post the lyrics of one of the songs in Music & Lyrics (stars: Hugh Grant & Drew Barrymore) which I watched for the second time during one of my break from work....

I've been living with a shadow overhead

I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed

I've been lonely for so long

Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away

Just in case I ever need em again someday

I've been setting aside time

To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love

I can't make it through without a way back into loveOh oh oh
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine

I've been searching but I just don't see the signs

I know that it's out thereThere's got to be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light

Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction

And I'm open to your suggestions
All I want to do is find a way back into love

I can't make it through without a way back into love

And if I open my heart againI guess

I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the endoh, oh, oh, oh, oh
There are moments when

I don't know if it's realOr if anybody feels the way I feelI need inspiration

Not just another negotiation
All I want to do is find a way back into love

I can't make it through without a way back into love

And if I open my heart to youI'm hoping you'll show me what to do

And if you help me to start again

You know that I'll be there for you in the endoh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Very nice, noh.... You get to appreciate a movie if watched twice... well, that goes for me...

Getting a Car Loan On-line

It's true that you can get all information you wanted on-line. I€ know not everybody can afford to buy a lap top or a desk top computer but you would agree with me that having one is a heaven. I was in a situation just recently where in surfing is the only answer at the moment.

It was when my uncle, who now will settle here in the Philippines after almost 37 years in Louiseville, Kentucky asked me on how & where can he get New Car Loans. He and my aunt will be moving back here in the Philippines to retire. They will definitely need to have a car because they will be settling in Batangas city ( my uncles hometown). And of course, they will be exploring other provinces here & visit also my aunts hometown in Pampanga. With the escalating oil prices nowadays, getting a car loan is a good idea.

I have no idea, whatsoever in getting a car loan. As of now, its not in my priority list to get a personal car since my current employer provides service vehicle, and the gas allowance too. So, we did surf on New Car Loans & I'm not surprised that everything you need to know about car loans are intricately described. I downloaded information for my uncle to read & review. I learned that you can even get a loan even for second hand car.

Well, I hope they can now decide what car to buy.

My PR is back!

Wow, its just a matter of minutes and my PR1 is back!... I dont know exactly what happened!

Actually, i have not realized it just when I heard "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" in my car radio last night when Im driving home. I really love Christmas. Well, actually the months & the days before Dec 25. I love the mood in malls and thinking of all the holiday sale in the offing. I really love to shop for gifts!!! I love xmas bazaars & tyangges!
