Swan Portraits

Who doesn’t wanna go back to Manila? I always love to come back and see my siblings again. Too many things I want my kids to experience too when we go there. The life that is very different in what we have here.

I’m planning to be home, but no definite month. I’m still contemplating with the cost and money that I need to spend to go home. Hahahah My sister just asked me to buy her grip strut since she cannot find one back home. And my other sister asked for iTouch and iPad. Yaaay! Going home is not really that simple.. lol

Sitting in front of my computer and undecided if I walk on the treadmill or go back to sleep. Also, undecided if I should go to work today or call in sick. I had a terrible headache last night and I’m scared if it will repeat again while I’m at work.

I need a break. That’s the reason of the headache last night. I need to have a warm bath on this clawfoot bath tub with lots of scented candles on the side. Aaaaah! I normally see this kind of bath tub in a hotel. Hmmn, maybe I need to book a night stay in a 5-star hotel?

I’m always browsing and scouting cheap cruise deals to experience the real allure of the seas in a stress free vacation. I like the idea of having your hotel room, food, and transportation in one package. I think cruise vacation is a great deal to travel with a budget conscious family. I’m kind of quiet about this with my husband cause I want to surprise him.. but I have to confirm again about his idea of cruising without telling that I will get one. lol I’m afraid that he will back out after I purchased the package so I want to ask him again if he is comfortable of travelling on a big boat.

The kids really enjoyed the time we spent playing and getting dirty. I want to go back but I hate the headaches when we go to elevated areas. I think it was 6000ft high. We’re supposed to stop by in a local shop to look at barska scope but I wasn’t feeling well anymore. I’m glad that I got the headache on our way home and not at the beginning of the trip. My mom didn’t go because of the cold.

I’m not in my happy mood lately and all I want to do now is grab one of this Branson Missouri vacation packages to get out from this emotion. I have upcoming exam two weeks from now..and I’m not even half way finished of my lessons. I’m good in cramming, but I know that it’s not really good.. it’s like gambling my chance of passing the exam. Haaaay! But what I can do.. I can’t really focus while I’m waiting in agony of the results of other exam I took.

Breath in.. breath out. Being anxious will not do any good.

Outer Banks rental homes is a real deal for family vacation. This is something I will consider in case we need to organize a small or big  event for family or friends. Okay, I’m talking expenses again. Haaaay! I need to start controlling myself in spending. Even small one should not be allowed. So for now, that’s all I can do.. drool and just plan. And maybe, soon money will just come.. then I’m all ready to spend it right away. hheheh Or who knows a free accommodation will do good too!

You can book various type of vacation homes at Carolina Designs. The Outer Banks is the perfect location to spend quality time with family. Comfortable home, connecting closer to the nature, and beach fun! Kind of a perfect life for me. I hope I can bring my family there soon.

Check this one, living life perfectly is really possible in this imperfect world.

Just another day to thank from the Man Above. I cancelled my parking at work and went back to taking the train beginning this month. I’m happy to be back again, back from stress free day of driving and more time to read while on train. The only drawback of doing this is I need to add at least 15 minutes on my regular travel time. Also, it’s necessary to be on time because the train will not wait for me, otherwise, travel time will be longer. I survived the two days.. and love it! I have more time to help my sister on doing research like the motorhome repairs that she is planning to do. Taking the train truly brings more benefits; however, the laziness on my side is the reason why I hesitate to do it. I hope that I can do this successfully even just for three months.

We went to Legoland 3 weeks ago, everybody had fun I want to go back again for the Water Park

Amazing stuff made of legos..

I was talking to my friend who moved in Texas because of work. And I’m glad that her family is adjusting well on the environment very well. She has other issues before she left in California about pending case against her husband and Texas Maritime lawyer was able to help her continue her case on that state. That’s the reason why she feels new light of hope when she moved there. It will be long another long time before seeing her and the family unless I get assignment on Texas, hardly to happen! lol

My friend told me that life in south California is very nice but things are all expensive – from utilities to home insurance. I love being there too.. the weather, the people, the environment.. so relaxing! I can see myself retiring on that place. The food is cheap though because it’s close to Mexico where more agricultural products are imported from. Who knows, my family will be able to move there in the future..

And look at this beach, where you can have easy access all the time.. and it’s free!
