Swan Portraits

My mom is asking to upgrade the computer she is using. I’m thinking to computer memory or just get a new one for myself, then give my old one, or purchased one that is really intended for her. I have to look at the cost that will save us more money.

By the way, you’re not asking but my mom is facebook addict! lol And that is the reason why she hates slow internet connection now. hahahah She have more comments on her photos, more messages, and more friends that she really knew than me. hahhaha I can consider her tech savvy too.. except for falling too quickly to click ad banners on the page. lol

I don’t know if I should feel happy and rejoice about no furlough this Friday. I really have no reason to complain because even I go to work, I will be paid. However, I like the extra time off on Fridays. I already scheduled things for tomorrow and that includes shopping for patio cushions and clothes for kids. There is too much going on with the state of California. I care.. but not that much to make me anxious of things for tomorrow.

To reduce belly fat is one of my ultimate goal in losing weight. Seems very hard for me cause I don’t really like abs workout. But I need to be serious and really follow a plan if I want to have some magic. Hopefully, I can start a new routine next week.

Anyway, I just want to share this shot and also share how clean the gasoline station in our area

I downloaded a software from Ikea’s website to design my daughter’s room. It’s really cool! You can actually see the layout with the 3D dimension view and also the cost. I know that my husband will not agree on the design I’m doing because he favors to have log furniture type for her bed but I have a metal frame bunkbed. lol

I cannot finalize the design because of the measurement, I haven’t taken the exact measure of the window and the door. I need to ask hubby’s help to do it for me.

This is what he wanted, looks very sturdy:

Do you know what are the foods that burn fat? I think common sense, it will be food that are healthy, something like high in fiber, less or unprocessed, has lots of antioxidant, and healthy fats. My idea would be less carb and no sugar. I’m pro Atkins Diet and that’s the reason why.

I just got home from work and I’m really tired. I normally wake up at 5am because my work starts at 7am now, but have to wake up earlier because I need to study something. It’s only 9pm but I need to retire to bed now. So good night to all!

I feel like own a receipt printer because of the receipts scattered on my desk. This is where I throw most of my receipts when I get home – receipts from shopping and online store. I was thinking to keep the receipts for the whole year for tax purposes but I haven’t started any files to organize. Oh well, as long as I know where I’m throwing it, I’m good going back and digging what I need. lol But I have to start soon because I have no more space to work on.

My kids are kept on asking me while working.. I better attend on their needs now.

My urge to rearrange and clean up the clutter in our house is back again. I feel that kids are grown up now where I can do things without hesitation that kids will ruin it. I want to start with Lianne’s room because she has the most clutter in the house. Also the office supplies that we’ve been hiding in the living room and other two rooms in the house needs to be organized. I’m looking for more design option for my almost 6 year old daughter. I want something that she can grow up with and not a lot of changes to do as she gets older. Kind a hard because I need approval from the husband when I do things at home but I will try to request him to leave the decision solely on me this time. I have to think sleep over stuff now, you know.

..I have a job to rely on for my family’s financial need. I have enough things to do that spending time for job search on internet is not on my list. However, some of my friends and family members are asking help to find a job. And I have to admit that doing this things became my hobby now not because I need one for my self but to help others. I’m glad if I could help someone find a job.

Whether you hate your job for now, you still have reasons to be thankful. So love it even you hate it.. yes, you can do both.

I’m home today because it is Cesar Chavez day! I did some cleaning in our bedroom, some dusting and vacuumed the carpet too. Did some stuff online – FB games and emails.

I’m trying to finish my tax return and the worksheet so I can file it today. And also will do some grocery shopping in Seafood City and need to check prices for hot tub covers if I can find one.

The house is so quiet because my daughter is away for the day for her spring camp. I have tons that I need to accomplish today.

I initially like the roller blinds for our bedrooms but my husband didn’t agree to have different kinds of blind in the house. We end up with the horizontal faux wood blinds. That was five years ago, and so far it is still doing the purpose of the blinds and that is to cover the direct sunlight from the windows. No repairs or maintenance has been done on these blinds. Maybe on the future if we need to replace it, we will be picking this kind of blinds again.

The faux wood looks like this:

And the roller blind is this:
