Swan Portraits

Does anyone else but me see a direct correlation between television and a laptop? When I see one or the other I just assume that they go together. Like peanut butter and jelly you can’t really have one without the other. I think I may have an addiction to watching television while mindlessly scrolling through page after page of Pinterest.com. I love this site. I feel like I can find just about anything on there. I have actually started using it as a search engine for when people are talking about a certain color or clothing item I can search it on Pinterest and usually find tons of example pictures of what I am looking for. I like this almost better than Google because I am a visual person so I like to see pictures for everything. I also get some pretty great ideas between watching design shows on Direct.tv and then finding more things related to the idea from the show on Pinterest my house is going to look so amazing when I get done with it.

I know that some people are busy looking for that perfect gifts for valentines day now. A lot of red and pink stuff are on display for this occasion in almost all stores. I will not be one of those people who will be busy shopping for this occasion. But I will watch out on the red and pink stuff after February 14 That is when big savings will come. I’m on the watch for the discounted chocolates

A good $390 to invest in our family bonding and creative entertainment.

I’m planning to get an XBOX Kinect by next month. My daughter originally wants a nintendo ds games but I’m limiting her time in playing games. The Xbox is really not for her but for the whole family. Yes, that’s a very good excuse to buy a game console, it’s for the family! lol

I’m still waiting for the final approval from my husband and possibility to clear our living room before I buy the game console. If I cannot find time to clean up the living room for clutter, we probably don’t need to play games.

I was able to set up little studio at home. And below are the test shots I did. I noticed that most of the photos have shadows, and I tried to change the position of the light but I think it’s not the position that causing the shadows. I just need more lights to surround the subject. Hoping to fix the problem next week.

I heard some friends that instead of buying gifts this holiday, they just distributed redenvelope personalized gifts. I think less stress on thinking and shopping gifts this holiday. I just listen to their stories about the holiday events and how stressful it can be. However, they like it and that’s their tradition. I tend not to comment cause I respect their belief.

I’m sleeping late now and will need to call in tomorrow. Yaaay! I hope my boss is not coming tomorrow. Heheheh

I partially organize my stuff on the closet and surprised that I have too many clothes that I haven’t wear. L It’s not because I forgot about them but still doesn’t fit on me. I have this area where I stuck clothes thinking that I will lose weight and will be able to wear them. So discouraging that it’s been a while and haven’t made any progress. If only my clothes like a breeches that I bought for my daughter.. that it always perfectly fits on her. *sigh*

But I won’t stop. I will make a change for 2012;)

I’m always a big eater and never had a problem having gas or acidity on my stomach. However, in the past few days, I’ve been nursing this uncomfortable feeling of acidity, bloated, and pain on my lungs area/esophagus. I googled about all the symptoms I have and it points to having GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease. I think my body can no longer accommodate all the abuse I’ve been doing by over eating. It’s really a calling for me to be serious and love my health. Anyway, I will read more about this disease and how can I get rid of it.

Last summer when we ordered our internet service from Hughes net I had no idea how much time it would save me during the holidays. I signed up for it because the kids wanted to be able to get online and check e-mail or do work for school. Once I got the hang of it, though, I was hooked! I love not having to get dressed and leave the house to do my holiday shopping. Many of the places I normally shop even had their black Friday deals available online. Not only did I not have to get dressed and leave the house, I got to take advantage of some major savings! Of course, I had to be very careful when the kids Christmas presents were delivered. Both of them still believe in Santa Claus so as the packages for them arrived I had to make sure the kids weren’t around or I had a plausible story about who the packages were for. Luckily most of the places I order from offer gift wrap so nosey eyes couldn’t see what was in the packages even if they opened the shipping boxes!

Isn’t my desktop background is so cool? hehehe I don’t like watching cartoons but I often found myself admiring the drawings. And the thematic background that I downloaded for Windows 7 is really pretty. My background changes every 10 minutes… and I super like it!
