It's time to Shop!

Have you had your 13th month pay? 


I miss receiving 13th month pay and bonuses :(

Buti na lang hubby has 13th month pay and bonuses! Yihaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

When he arrived yesterday from work, he fetched me and Tami at nagpa-drive kami with Papa to withdraw money from his 13th month pay and drop by in Mcdo and bought meals for all of us in the house. I asked him about his 13th month pay and his plan where it will go. I was waiting for him to mention about us buying something for us pero wala :(

His 13th month will go into 3 things. Advance payment to our monthly amortization in house, Tami's advance last quarter payment to her tuition and lastly P10k to his parents as his advance christmas gift... 

I thought nakalimutan na nya kami pero hindi pala because he's planning of going to MOA pag natanggap na nya ang bonus nya :) May bonus ulit pala sila this year :) Happy family! Happy Christmas! hehe

After learning that he has bonus, bigla tuloy akong napaisip kung ano mga bibilin ko? hehe. Time to shop for gifts to our inaanaks, to my co-agents in the realty, friends and family...

Im egzayted!!!!

Christmas Wishlist 2012

Hi Guys, since im free this morning, might as well blog to catch up.. Matatapos na ang November wala pa kong nabibiling gifts for christmas kahit isa. 30 days na lang at pasko na! Gustung-gusto kong mag-mall and mag-divi kaya lang i only have limited time... Tulad na lang nung thursday, it was planned to go in Laguna to attend my Uncle's birthday, i was ready na the whole day and plan na mag-join sa car ng uncle ko which will leave at 3.30pm... By 1:30 pm a prospect buyer called, we talked about what she wants, discuss and negotiate and that moment nagpa-sched ng tripping at 5pm... Nalito tuloy ako kung ano gagawin ko, uuwi ba ko ng Laguna or iti-tripping ko to? And then decisions made na client muna kaya ayun naiwan ako...  With my work right now, hindi ko talaga masabi kung kelan ako available... kaya hindi rin matuloy-tuloy ang pag-didivi ko :(

Planning of giving na lang money to my inaanaks and im looking for sale na grocery items that i can give to my close co-agents in the office.. Hindi pwedeng bigyan lahat eh di kakayanin... In our office we have  hundreds of real estate agents and 200+ is active so kung bibigyan ko lahat yun kamusta naman ako dba?

Anyway, To start with this christmas thing-y let me post my wishlist for this coming christmas.. hehe

IPAD 3

Laptop will not work anymore with agents especially when you're on field... Like for agents like me, Pag nasa biyahe going on a tripping, syempre maraming conversations yan and you need to show and explain lahat thru pictures, alangan naman magbukas ka pa ng laptop dba? So i saw most of the agents using iPad during tripping..

Personally im not a gadget person but because of the "need" in my work i have no choice but to have this. I was talking with my cousin in the US last month if she can buy me iPad mini so it will arrive here anytime December kaya lang Kuya Bing said that iPad mini is not recommendable for presentation so instead of iPad Mini i will go with iPad 3. 

That will be first on my christmas wishlist kasi ayoko talagang bumili.. hahaha. At least pag may nagbigay sakin wala akong choice kundi gamitin yun.. hehe


NEW EARRINGS

If you must remember, hubby gifted me an eternity ring last year during our wedding anniversary. This year wala kaming binili for each other kasi first and foremost wala akong regular work and we want to save and save before transferring to our new house. Since this is just a wishlist, wala naman masamang mangarap dba? so this will be the 2nd on my wishlist, a new pair of earrings..

Some time ago, like 2 or 3 months ago while in Southmall hubby mentioned na tumingin daw kami sa bilihan ng Jewelry (hhhhmmmm, mukang nagbabalak na naman ako bigyan ah...) eh hindi natuloy kasi gabi na hanggang sa di na naulit ulit.. hehe and for now i want to own an eternity earrings para may ka-terno naman yung ring ko dba or pwede rin naman ang diamond stud that i can wear everyday... Ayoko naman isuot yung jewelries ko na pamana saken ni grandmother at baka malaslas ang tenga ko sa snatcher! hehe


At dahil nga kuripot ang peg ng mga tao ngaun, eto na lang ang gusto ko:

STARBUCKS PLANNER

Eto gusto ko talaga kaya lang im not coffee addict anymore eh kaya no stickers as in zero, kung milk tea pa yan for sure puno na ngaun yan! hehe 

Hhhmmm cno kaya ang magbibigay sakin nito?


FENG SHUI ITEMS

If we're friends, you know that im feng shui follower... Every year nagpapafeng-shui ako with my friends.. There's nothing wrong naman with it, syempre iba pa rin ang faith dba? Nkakatuwa lang kasi marinig ang fengshui at mga lucky charms..

I want feng shui items na pang-display sa new house namin, yung tipong panlagay sa sala or pang-frame hehe.. Any lucky charms will do =)


NEW TABLE

Of all my wish, eto talaga ang gusto ko... I want a new table na may mga cabinet na may susi.. I was telling hubby na palitan na namin yung computer table namin sa kwarto na kasya ang computer and at the same time i can work on with my papers.

Cabinet with keys is my must-have now with my work because i need a storage where i can place the important papers from my work. I REALLY WANT THIS!!!


OFFICE SUPPLIES

And because of my work, this is also a must have for me. Dati pakalat kalat lang tong mga to d2 sa bahay, Ngaun ako na ang nangangailangan hahaha... Pero wag mo na ko bilhan nito kasi meron na ko unless gusto mo ko bigyan ng whiteboard... hehe.. Ay need ko pala ng corkboard, push pins, folders, pentelpen, post it, etc... ang dami ko pa palang wala :)

While i need all this syempre need ko din ng organizer hehe... Parang-office lang ang dating...

Siguro naman with all these, may matatanggap naman ako no?


Tami's christmas wishlist:

LEGO FOR GIRLS

Yan lang naman ang kinukulit nya saken as of now. Nagsawa na siguro kakasabi ng gusto nya mag-HK sa 7th birthday nya.. haha


Hay ang mamahal ng gusto ko no? kasi di ko mabili eh... wala sa budget ko :(


Last month hubby and i talked about plans regarding our income, alam nyo naman na sya lang ang may work and he's paying the house and other expenses... We plan of continuing that set-up (living on a single income) so all my income from real estate will go directly to our savings... Profit from my Tami's E-shop online store will be additional fund for our everyday expenses or what we call luho... 

So what's your christmas wishlist? Malay mo bigyan din kita... :)


Rufo's Las Pinas

Have you visited the newly opened Rufo's near Times? Well, we did at twice pa!

Rufo's has been famous with their Tapa for years. I remember their branch in Makati and tried it once so its good to know that they extend their branch here in Las Pinas, a walking distance from our office . Yey!

Hubby and I dined almost everyday before going home, he will fetch me in the office after his office then eat somewhere. That time, he saw that Rufo's now open so we went there after he fetched me.

Rufo's menu

Very affordable!

With their modern interiors...

New offers...

Here what we ordered on our first visit:

Tapa for Hubby..

Liempo for Me..

2 extra rice, soda and Cobo Milk Tea for me :)

We are dissapointed on our first visit because of the rice, sobrang daming matitigas na rice na parang sunog, hubby didn't finish his meal.

On our second visit, hubby ordered Tapa again and I chose Spaghetti and another Cobo milk tea.. I noticed lang with their Tapa masyadong ma-sauce :(

We'll visit again to try their Bulalo maybe later after my trippings.

Family Day at SM Southmall (SumoSam day)

Last Sunday, hubby and I planned of going to Southmall. Wala na raw kasi akong time so i agreed. They wait for me till i finish my tripping with a client in Paranaque.. Buti na lang maagang natapos at 3pm. We left the house at 4pm with my in-laws.

My sister-in-law went to Mandaue Foam with his husband to buy house things because they will move in to their house this end of the month... Kami? Hindi pa and we're planning na paupahan na lang ang house na binili namin as part of our investment. Wala na kasing titira sa house nila hubby kundi kami together with my parents-in-law. Mas ok nga to kasi wala kaming poproblemahin with regards to Tami, alagang-alaga ang anak namin kaya walang problema kahit wala kami lagi sa bahay and im thankful for my inlaws for taking care of my daughter..

Anyway, when we arrived in Southmall we all parted ways. My SIL and BIL went to Mandaue and we to Sumosam to eat because im hungry after my 2 trippings that day.

SumoSam recently opened in Sm Southmall and i told hubby to try it.

Our Orders:
Japanese Fried Rice for Hubby

Seafood Ramen 

This can be shared by 3 to 4 people. Tami and I shared this bowl of Ramen.


Our Drinks

Mango Yakult for tami but unfortunately she didn't like the taste so hubby drank it. Mango Shake for Tami and Watermelon shake for me.

Beef Yakitori for Hubby

I tried this and its super lambot and juicy.


Banana Split for our dessert.

Pics for the day:



SumoSam's a little bit pricey but offer good food :)

 
 



I also bought Sunblock for me because you know naman that i do a lot of trippings with clients and Sunblock is my bestfriend for now...

We bought Tami this stuff toy and cage to catch up with her...

We had a great time last Sunday kahit na sobrang pagod ako from the trippings. Happiness of my kid is our priority so kahit pagod, gora lang!

Hubby's Month and Swimming Day

Hubby's month is October. It's also our Wedding Anniversary. We have no plans at all then until the kids mentioned to my inlaws that they want to go swim. Since we have birthdays and anniversaries for October, we pushed thru with the swimming plan last October 28, 2012.

The kids enjoyed the pool kasi kami lang ang tao sa resort while the adults enjoy eating, drinking and singing with the videoke.. Hubby sang to his heart's out hanggang sa namalat ang boses nya.. hehe

Only pics from our swimming day:










Undas 2012 (Late Post)

Sorry for the late post... Mejo busy lang...

I don't have plans of taking photos but to my lola's request para daw makita ng relatives abroad... Ayan wala akong choice but to take some pics..

We went in Laguna last November 1 and headed to Tta Babes house. We had lunch first before going to Memorial Park for our loved ones...

Our lunch

Ginataang Tilapia and Fried Tilapia, Lechon Kawali and Batchoy (no photo). All are requested by my aunts and uncle especially the Batchoy and Ginataang Tilapia... Minsan lang daw kasi makakain ng lutong Laguna... hehe

Our Dessert or Merienda...

Dolor's Kakanin care of Tta Ne... I love this special kakanin that can be bought in Sucat..

In our Museleo during All Soul's Day:

This is my Mudra...

Pumangit na nga lang yung sa may frame. It was hanged there for more than a decade kaya cguro naging ganyan... Anyway, maganda pa rin naman ang mama ko kahit pumangit ang frame :)

Museleo's Altar

On the right side's frame was my Lolo and below is my nephew (no photo)..

Some of the relatives when we arrive...

Of course, they will not forget to bring food for the visitors... kami na ang parang nasa bahay! We were there from around 4pm up to 10pm...

We stayed in Laguna for 3 days and Tami was enjoying her vacation to Tta babes House...

Hoagies Sandwich in SM Southmall

Yesterday, Hubby and I met in Southmall after his office. We bought some things needed for the house and decided to have light snacks before going home. We tried Hoagies near the Payless shoes. We thought that we will be having light snacks so we can eat dinner at home but we ended so full with the sandwich.

Our 8" sandwich.. Ham & Cheese for me and Adobo Sandwich for hubby


Hindi namin maubos kasi sobrang bigat sa tyan!

Ayun di na kami nakakain ng dinner sa bahay...
