I love to go on vacation. If I could do it weekly, I would. My family even has membership at a resort hotel somewhere in the north. And we often go there when time permits. We would just stay inside the villa, sleep and eat and come morning, the kids go swimming. That’s usually our routine when on vacation. Just chill and have a good time. There’s no point in taking a vacation if you’d just stress yourself.
But there are just some things that have to be prioritized and sometimes, vacation or having a break takes a back seat. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably bought one of those vacation timeshares. Timeshares save you a lot of money but sometimes you get so busy with work and end up not using them. Well, there’s Resorts Rescued who can help you with that. They can get your timeshare sold, rented or traded so you won’t end up just paying maintenance fees, taxes and assessments even if you don’t get to use them. You can even earn in the process.

My mom is turning 60 this December. My sister and I are planning to produce a short movie or feature that would have all her siblings, relatives and her loved ones give short meaningful messages. It’s a tough task especially for me who is in charge of going from one relative to the next to record their messages. I haven’t started yet. I have to call and inform each one about the plan and I’m not even sure if everyone would be agreeable. There are even relatives in the province that I have to visit for this. If only they know how to use the technology of the internet and post their messages in social networking sites so it would be easier for me. But unfortunately, they are as low-tech as they come. Aside from that, I have to find the perfect gift for her 60th birthday. I t should be something special and should be something that she likes. The last time I spoke to my mom, she wanted this branded esq watch. It’s a bit expensive but I know that would make her happy. We want this event to be truly memorable for her. So I guess she’d be getting that watch and a ton of best wishes on her 60th year here on Earth.

My son originally wanted to have a room with no bed. He said that he preferred just having a mattress that he can put away when not in use. I thought it was crazy. A bed frame is a must in any bedroom. Of course, I won with my argument. But if he had told me about Murphy bed wall bed, I would have agreed with him on that. You see, it’s similar to his idea of putting away the mattress when not in use. Only, it looks way better and it turns into a couch or another sitting area for him. And it works well with any home that has limited floor space which is our case since we live in a condo. And it comes with its own mattress. You can even get to choose your fabric to match the color scheme of any room. I recommend this to anyone who lives in a condo. I wonder why our contractor hadn’t suggested this to me.

We’re in Tagaytay now and I’m taking advantage of the free wi-fi in the lobby of this new hotel, Summit Ridge. We haven’t checked in. We can only check in after lunch since no room is available yet. The hotel is fully booked perhaps due to the November promo. The room rate is 50% off the whole month. By the way, I’m coming back here next week to take advantage of the promo and the long weekend. Good thing there was one last room available when I inquired awhile ago. I guess it was really meant for me.
Till next post…I will tell you all bout our experience sleeping in our ancestral house in Batangas. It was terrible. =(

Have you heard about Dirt Devil Online Shopping Guide? If you are into shopping online, then you should have this guide. Christmas is just five weeks away and I’m sure all of us are rushing to do our shopping so we could focus on the meaning of Christmas once it comes. To tell you honestly, I haven’t started with mine. Although I have my list with me all the time since three weeks ago, it has been opened yet. It’s a good thing I found this guide so I might be doing my gift buying online this year. Perhaps most of the gifts would be bought online especially after reading through the guide and learning where to get discounts and coupon codes on practically everything. This guide has over 300 ways to save with shopping online. I especially love the idea of the second annual free shipping day happening on December 17, 2009. That should save me a lot of money. You know how much shipping costs nowadays. Sometimes it’s more expensive than the item itself. For the couples, you won’t have a hard time this year thinking and looking for gifts for your partner because this guide has plenty of holiday deals and suggestions on gifts for him and gifts for her.

MG and I were at the mall this afternoon to buy some things we would need for the weekend in Batangas. Yep, we’re spending the weekend in Batangas with our balikbayan relatives. In fact, I’m still having a problem with our sleeping arrangements. I don’t want to sleep in the old house. The last time I slept there was six or seven years ago and it was not a pretty memory. I kept tossing and turning the whole night. Do you know that feeling? Para kang namamahay. It’s an old house so for sure, there are ghosts lurking around. Well, I don’t know if there’s a hotel near our town. If there is, we would definitely be sleeping there. Anyway, I saw the line at the movies this afternoon. It was so long and they were all lining up for New Moon. I so envy them. I wanted to ditch MG somewhere but my conscience would surely bug me the whole timeif I did that so I didn’t.

Another thing that excites me about Christmas is the Christmas eve dinner. And this year, it was decided that dinner would be in my home. My father and my siblings and their family are coming over and I would be in charge of the food. Now, that’s a huge responsibility because this event is centered around food on the table. Of course, the only other thing that competes with food are the Christmas gifts. So I would need all the help I can get. I need the best kitchen gadgets and utensils like my soup bowl sets and Corelle Dinnerware Sets. Yep, it’s that time of the year where these utensils are put to good use. So as early as now, I would be planning what to serve on Christmas dinner.

I’m always looking for Christmas gift ideas. I’m tired of giving the usual gift basket, assortment of cookies and pastries and even toys for kids. Plus I don’t have time to look through every item in the mall for that perfect gift. Then the idea of Gift Cards came to mind. I mean, why not? At least the person you’re giving it to can choose what she likes for herself. No more guessing game for you. I’m quite sure that anyone who receives a gift card would be ecstatic. Who does not love shopping and for free since it’s a gift. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone.

Two more days and it’s New Moon day. But I won’t watch it on opening day. MG’s school is only two hours every Friday because that’s there fun day and they just basically play or do art at the end of each week. But I have 5 hours of free time next Wednesday so I might watch it that day. Again, I will go alone. I can’t find a friend who’d watch it with me. They will either watch it on opening day or they’re just busy. But I’m still super excited. I want to see Jacob’s new physique and if it’s reason enough to switch to Team Jacob. =)

Babies are cute. There’s no doubt about that. Babies just look so innocent and so at peace and content with themselves. They are just so adorable. Just writing about this makes me want to pinch my little girl who is sleeping beside me now. Anyway, if you think that baby girls and boys are the only cute beings in the world, then you’re mistaken. Baby animals are also adorable and cute in their own way. They also exude the same innocence. By the way, BabyAnimals.info is a brilliant site that features baby animals and tells a little trivia about them. It’s fun to read and the pictures are awesomely charming just like this one.
