Looking at the Sky : Field of Dreams


(This is my 1st time to join Looking at the Sky) Wow I never thought that these photos will turn out good because I took this using only my point and shoot camera inside our van on our way home lastSunday afternoon. I thought it will come out blurred because I was inside a moving vehicle and my bro is driving fast.

This is actually at a rice field but it was destroyed by typhoon Ondoy last Sept. that's why there's still water there. Anyway, I love the formation of the clouds.

The Kids' Christmas Wish

I've already asked Reign what she wants for Christmas and time and again she always told me that she wants Barbie Mariposa. I'm not sure if Santa will give her that this year as she has too many Barbie dolls already. Oh well, girls will always want that no matter how many Barbie they already had. There's even one instance when Reign pulled me at the Barbie section and showed me these.

My 2 nephews however are different, they are at this age where they always love to play games on the computer and sometimes at their PSP. Last year they wanted an xbox 360 but this year I'm not sure yet. They are actually getting hooked on Farmville at Facebook as they enjoy the planting and the harvesting times.

My Pre-Birthday Lunch

Last Sunday, instead of dining out I just decided to treat my family with a sumptuous lunch at my brother's house to save. I just asked my brother to cook bbq spare ribs, chicken and fish tilapia. We also had pork nilaga and some salad.

The celebration was just so simple and it's just only a family affair. You know when you are turning old (I turned 42) you'd settle for a simple family celebration already. I will just have a big b-day bash once again in my 50th bday on 2017, so 8 more years to go hehe. I'm thanking the Lord for another year he has given me,

D-I-Y Home Improvements

I guess you have read about my previous post about my sis Joy who just recently sold their house and now they are renting an apartment. They sold the house so that they can build their dream house soon and for sure it’s gonna be in 2010. I always talk to my sis Joy over at YM and they have already had a picture of what kind of house they want to be in their minds.

Knowing my sis and her choice of styling their house before, there’s no chance that she will opt for clutter and too busy decorations. A clean and neat look would always be her preference and actually she is already scouring home improvements blogs or site to get new ideas for their house project. If I where in her shoes, I’ll be as giddy as her. Why not? A house that you dream all these years will finally come true.

I guess not all can build a house of their own or make a brand new one so all we can do is just make home improvements or renovations, which many of you are doing or have done so. Actually we are in the process of repainting the walls in the living room to make it more appealing during the holidays.

We can also be a little bit experimental and creative in our homes. Just take a look at your hallways or doorways, we always often see square corners, right? We can turn them into beautiful arched shaped corners on our own by using fabricated drywall arch. Creativecorners.net has this creative corners arches/styles that you can choose like: partial arch, full arch, eyebrow arch and step arch that you can easily d-i-y in 4 easy steps. Here's the sample of the before and after.

Manny Pacquiao Won Again vs Miguel Cotto by TKO

Pinoys and the whole world waited for the much awaited boxing event of the year. Our very own Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico at Las Vegas for the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Welterweight class. I am not really a fan of boxing but of course Manny is the one fight so we all can't help but to watch him fight on the ring.

Around noon time I was already tuned online to watch the live streaming of the boxing but with thousands of fans watching on the teampilipinas.info site the video became too lag and too slow that we'rent able to see the blow by blow account. We just listened to the radio and it was so exciting.

It was then finally announced that Pacman won against Cotto at 12th round via TKO the referee stopped the fight. Later on a delayed telecast was shown over at ch7 but it has too many commercials. It was an exciting fight and Cotto was so pitiful bec. his face is so bruised and battered.

Hooray for Pacman! We are so proud of you! He is the best pound for pound king of the world having won 7 different titles of diff. weight division.

My Shopping Mode

I’m in my shopping mode lately. As you might have read on my last post I was able to buy myself some birthday gifts for myself last week and I am still itching to buy more. In fact, the other day when I went to the grocery, there’s this small booth of Lee and RRJ jeans at the entrance, I looked over at some shirts, jeans and polo blouses that they have on display because it’s 50% off and oh dear I end up buying a polo shirt that I will be using on my birthday.

Aside from that my sister in law and I have been to Divisoria 2 weeks ago to buy some Christmas gifts and of course I didn’t forget myself hehe. November and December are the months that I always overspend because of my birthday and Christmas and spending is really not really avoidable. Good thing is that I have control on my spending on the 1st few quarters of the year so I have some savings.

I still have birthday and Christmas material wishes and that includes a watch. I ordered a leather DKNY watch from Faye from unfortunately the style that I wanted was not available. I still want a leather watch and I’m not sure if I can get this here or just buy one when we to Hongkong this December.

I don’t know about you but I really love watches but I still can’t afford those highly expensive ones. It just so happen than these days we can find some knock off watches that are replicas of the originals. You can find lots of Swiss replica watches at zenreplica.com just in case you care looking for one. These watches are made with quality and much affordable.

Change of Schedule

Lately I found myself staying at home in the morning and just go to my net cafe after lunch or so.

I made this decision when my online works have flourished and when I need more time to be alone in peace so I can make lots of good quality post. Everytime I'm here a my net cafe and do some opps, I find it hard to concentrate because of too much noise and disturbances. Not that I have net games but because my niece and mom watch TV with high volume that sometimes I tell them to turn the volume down. Sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't.

I am irritable when I want to concentrate but there are noises and disturbances, my mind just wants to explode. I have little patience over that. So to end my whining about not being able to work properly I usually stayed in the morning to do some works. If I have tons of works to do and my SIL is availble to stay at my net cafe then I will stay at home and she will take care of the cafe.

Accounting Stuff

I just paid my monthly business tax once again and it’s a never ending process as long as I have this small business of mine. Well at least I am paying my taxes unlike others who are not. How much more those that have big companies, for sure their accountants are doing a massive work for them. Sometimes getting an accountant can be a little tricky but this Las Vegas accounting firm can be a good source for all your accounting, business and financial woes. Next April is the tax season once again and hopefully you’ll have some to manage the accounting part of your business.
