If someone handed me Chocolate Candies, that would really make my day. I especially love the dark chocolate variety. I wish a candy man were around to hand out chocolates to anyone who needs it. Then this world could be a happier place to live in. I remember my grandpa who regularly visited us when he was still alive. He would always bring chocolates because he knew we liked them. Well, who doesn’t? And I even think that it’s the best gift for every occasion. Chocolate says everything, from I love you, I miss you to I’m sorry I hurt you. You can never go wrong with chocolates and choco candies, especially Gertrude Hawk’s.

I have a new gym membership. Another branch of Gold’s Gym is being put up here on the 5th and 6ht floors of our condo building and it will be open, hopefully, in September. I took advantage of the gym’s opening promo which is 50% off their usual annual membership fee. I used my credit card to avail of the 12 months, interest free promo. It’s really cheap since I would be paying around a thousand bucks a month for 12 months. And to think that everything (locker room, gym equipment, towels, steam and sauna rooms) is new, it feels like I got a very good bargain. BTW, there are a few more slots. Leave me a message if you’re interested and if you live near and around Timog area.

Our place is small so whenever my sister and her son sleep here, I need to share the bed with them. Of course, we have a sofabed but it can only accommodate one person. What if more people stay over? I don’t have any more beds for them. And I like sleep-overs. Good thing I discovered raised air mattress. It feels like a regular bed because it’s raised and it’s so convenient because it can be deflated and stored when not in use. And you can even take it with you when going out of town.

Working from home has many perks. You handle your own time. Working hours is flexible. You can work at night if you want to. You don’t answer to anyone but yourself. You’re the boss. And you can work in your pajamas. The disadvantage is if you don’t work, you don’t earn. I personally think that work-at-home individuals are more committed and responsible than the employed ones. That’s only my opinion. But I also miss working in a corporate environment where you dress up for a meeting or for social events. But being employed makes you want to buy new work outfits regularly which is a disadvantage, too. Good thing there are modest clothing for women now. They’re stylish and at the same time, very affordable. But I still don’t know if I’ll ever work in an office again. We’ll see.

I try to save money as much as possible. And I don’t usually buy anything for the house unless it’s really necessary. I’m not the type of person who has every kitchen gadget in the market. I would rather buy clothes. That’s bad, too. Anyway before moving to our new home I had this 5 year old bed which had started giving us the itch. Itch meaning itch from insect bites. I thought they were mosquito bites so I tried using an insect repellant to kill the mosquitoes. But we still had insect bites. My sister suspected bed bugs and she was right. She said I had all the signs of bed bug infestation—bites, dark spots on the mattress etc. She suggested several bed bugs treatments including replacing the bed and pillows. And now, we’re bedbug-free and we have a new mattress.

Alright, I’m not getting any younger. I know this because I can feel it. I can no longer go up several flights of stairs without stopping for air. My sleep is erratic. I can no longer manage to sleep for eight hours. My father says that it is a sign of old age when you can’t sleep for more than five hours at night. More than that, I actually see signs of aging. I have age spots. I thought there were freckles but my dermatologist told me they were liver spots. Liver and aging, they go together. And I have wrinkles. Yes, I have them around my eyes, my mouth and on my forehead. I can’t smile without my wrinkles revealing themselves. Unfortunate but true. I’ve considered botox and anti-aging creams and facial treatments. I’ve done the latter but it has no lasting effect. With botox, I heard that results are immediate and effects of one session lasts up to six months. But I’m still not convinced after reading the possible side effects of botox injections. Yes, you only inject the substance in your face but side effects can manifest throughout your body. Which is what I don’t want. So I might put it off for another year or two. We’ll see.

I made a huge design boo-boo. After much shopping around and contemplating on what light would best suit the over-all theme of our home, I was still not able to choose the “best”. What I chose actually looked silly among the contemporary ceiling lights that are already installed in our home. The dining light looks old-fashioned, like it came from another era. It would look good in a traditional Victorian home. Don’t ask me why I even bought it because I can only tell you that I really found it pretty the first time I saw it. I did not consider my home’s overall theme. Now, everytime I see it I want to kick myself.

My uncle is planning a house renovation next summer. Actually he intended to change the paint color of the entire house including the steel gate and fence this summer but the rains came early. So he had to postpone it. It’s a big renovation and he only has a handful of people to help him. But he just bought this Pump Sprayer that will make any painting job five times faster than with a regular paint brush. You can get one yourself and it’s available online in the UK via RonSeal.co.uk. Anyway, he could actually finish the project, if all things go well, in one month. Then, he could celebrate his 60th birthday in his newly renovated home. And we could all see it.
