Don't you just hate it?

When the days are so fast and that you don't have enough time to enjoy whatever it is that you are currently doing, or reading? I find it really bothersome that now a days, the time is just so fast. It seems that it was just yesterday when summer vacation has started and now school has officially start. Then it time for the holiday... and then we have to prepare for holiday invitations... then new year... and poof! Another year has gone by. Last year I didn't even have the chance to send cards, I was cramming up for school and taking care of my daughter and running a household... hopefully this year I'll start early so I can send out cards. Maybe even make it a little bit personal.

I feel that since I turn 20 a couple of years ago, the time is not slowing down anymore. It just makes me wonder if I am the only one feeling this way. What about the people that are older than me? Sometimes I feel though that I am missing a lot of things in life. Specially since I been staying a in the house a lot... too hot to go somewhere. I think I've actually started to many hobbies that I can't get attend to it anymore.

I guess what I really need a long vacation... away from all the technology and just catching up with old friends back home. Thinking of vacation again when in reality... I just had 4 months of summer vacation.

New Television

For a while now me and my husband has been talking about buying another television. I wanted to put one in the bedroom so whenever we want to watch something while we are in the master's bedroom we can. Right now we have 2 televisions, one in the media room/office area and one in the living room. Most of the time, my daughter is the one using the big one over by the media room and I use the one in the living room. It's more convenient for me to use the one in the living room since I am always there or in the kitchen working. Previously, when I used to do all my designing and blogging with the desktop I get to watch on the big tv, but now I only watch there when we watch movies.

I'm not really sure if its even practical to get another one and putting it in the bedroom. Although there's plenty of time that I wished we have one in the bedroom, but then again if I think about it, might not be a good idea either. My husband might just end up watching there and we won't be able to have some conversations anymore.

What about you, do you have any television in your bedroom? Do you think its a good idea to put one? It's back to school and there's going to be a lot of sale. Plus its tax free weekend so I really want to make some decisions ASAP.

Mortgage Life Insurance

Another kind of insurance? I'm not too good when it comes to these different types of insurance, well other than the most common one. But if you ask me about mortgage protection life insurance I think you're probably going to see a puzzled look on my face.

It sounds to me like its the same as the home insurance, the only difference is that it has life on the title. So I guess is has something to do with the homeowner passing away. Since I don't have a whole lot of idea about it, I search for information online and here's what I found out.

According to wholesaleinsurance.net which provides this type of insurance it is

"...also known as mortgage protection insurance, financial product used to protect your family and home.

Like all life insurance, mortgage protection insurance is an agreement between you and a life insurance company. You agree to pay a predetermined rate. The life insurance company agrees to pay a sum of money to your beneficiaries if you die--as long as you were still paying your premiums at the time of your death.

This mortgage life insurance death benefit can then be used by your beneficiaries to pay off your home mortgage.

Mortgage life insurance is one of the easiest ways to provide for the financial well-being of your family."


Well, it was interesting isn't it. I think I will let you decide if its something that you need or not by checking the site for more details.

New Obsession

One of the stuff that I have been doing is reading books. I've always love reading books but I've never really found some dedication to actually read and focus on just one author... but after I've read the Twilight Series I just can't stop. So now I am actually reading the 4th book of Harry Potter. And as I am getting closer to the next one... I feel like it's getting thicker and thicker.. I mean the book itself.

Another one that I have been doing lately is browsing online and looking for great accessories that I can add in my list that I would like to have in the coming years or something that I like to have for our next house (grin). One of the accessory that I found, actually it's more of a necessity is the gorgeous ceiling fans on the right. This fan is a Kichler Windham and it has a brushed nickel finished. Very modern design and offers an updated and polished look that's make it fresh to look at. I love clean design that's why when I saw it I just feel in love with it. If you add the dimmer to it, I think it will actually look and feel amazing. It comes with different finished as well (Brushed Nickel, Tannery Bronze, Tannery Bronze, Oil Brushed Bronze and White).

Beauty on its own.

I came across this website that specializes in copper sinks and I just have to post it here. The designs are marvelous... just check out the photos below. Aren't they just gorgeous. I would love to have one of those in my bathroom specially the vessel sinks.


Vessel sinks has been becoming a huge modern design trend in the design industry. They are basically bathroom sinks that sit on top of the counter and it pretty much brings old charm to a modern and clean design. And with coppersinkstore.com they offer a wide variety of shapes and finishes.

According to what I read, copper is naturally anti-bacterial that's why this material is ideal for any type of sinks which pretty much comes in contact with food. So, if you are looking to incorporate and old soul to your modern design, why not try check out copper sinks design. Looks really gorgeous in a clean modern house.

Is there such a thing?

A lot of women who are dieting and trying to lose weight but is having a tough time will probably agree with me right now. Is there such a thing as the best diet supplements? If you ask me I'd probably say, "..it all boils down to discipline, support and the motivation to lose it." Right now I don't have any of those.

Last week I was blogging about my weight pushing 110... for some they will probably say... what in the world.. your only 110! Yeah! if your 5'4 and above... that's an ideal weight. But for somebody who is under 5' it feels like I am about to explode. Kidding aside, I don't feel healthy anymore. I am so used to being skinny and having weight around 90-95 lbs that losing a few pounds is getting into my nerve.

I been wanting to lose the extra weight to feel healthy again. Plus of course I am not getting younger anymore and if I keep gaining weight then I might end up looking like a ball when I reach 40.

I actually want to start doing some light exercise just to prep myself and in couple of weeks school is about to start I might not be able to have time anymore to do any... but I have no idea where to start.

Do you have any? If you do, leave them in the comment. I'd love to hear from my visitors. Do you have an exercise routine that you follow to keep you feeling healthy and of course tone? Share them here.

Big Change

This afternoon me and my daughter went to Target to shop around and look for a mosquito net canopy. I have been planning of going to Ikea to find her one but I have been too lazy to drive that far. Actually, anywhere we go the drive is far and I have been too busy reading books and updating websites and network... I just don't have time to shop around. But there comes a time that a woman has to unwind... this afternoon was the perfect timing.

I have been wanting to find a mosquito net canopy for my daughters bed. I told her that we are going to put the canopy in her bed. This week we made a great change... my husband has been complaining about his back been hurting... well one of the reason is that we don't have enough room in our bed anymore. Since my daughter was a baby, she has been co-sleeping with us... but this week, we finally made the change. My little girl is now sleeping in her bedroom. I thought the switch was going to be difficult but I guess I expected to much... the potty training is a bit more difficult than the switch.

She still wakes up from time to time and she will tell me that she wants to sleep in our room... but we still end up going back to her bed. I guess she is getting used to sleeping there since she's been sleeping in her bed for a couple of days now.

But back to our little shopping this afternoon... I get sidetrack whenever I try to tell a story... too many things floating in my mind.

So we were over at Target and did our shopping, we got to the shoes area. And of course nowadays I usually go to the children's area and I can't believe that when we got to the shoes section my daughter was so excited and started trying the shoes. I was in awe watching her pick the different shoes that she wants to try on. I didn't even have to ask her to remove her sandals... she sat down and remove it herself. And I found this pretty Dansko design that's really comfortable. She can use it as an everyday shoes. It's amazing how little girls are starting to show love for shoes.

After trying different shoes, of course it was my turn. :) I tried a couple of sandals... love sandals.. and of course the heels has to be really... lets just say that it has to make me taller when I wear it. There were also some designs that are similar to the dansko design that we saw by the children's area... but as usual, my child gets to have something first before myself.

Oh well, I guess I am just a mom.

What about you? Was there any recent changes that you did in your life? Minor... maybe major changes. If you do, I love to read about it. Leave your comments. If you are blogging, leave me your url I love to read similar stories.
