Clay Pots & Wooden Spoons

Splurge.

I’ve been interested in coupons lately. Buying things I use with coupons definitely helps me save money that I can use to fund other bills. I found some bath & body works coupons as well as some domain ones the past week or so. I’m trying to look for good coupons for hosting this time [...]

Planning ahead for Valentines

Nika — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 01:54:46 +0000

Since New Year’s about to come I’m starting to prepare Valentines Day gift ideas for my Mom. I wasn’t able to get her flowers last year and I wasn’t really able to buy her a proper present this Christmas due to budget issues so I’m hoping I can get her something special for Valentines. Maybe [...]

Really losing weight in 2012.

I was thinking of trying yoga earlier this year. Unfortunately, I started working and spent a lot of time on my 1-2 hour commutes (depending on traffic congestion) so I never really pushed through with it. Before the Christmas season started I found several shops that offered discounts and sales for yoga mats and I [...]

Merry Christmas!

Nika — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 18:38:58 +0000

I’m still up even though I’m so tired from all the cooking and Noche Buena preparations. It was a bountiful celebration this year and although we didn’t really get any presents, the balikbayan box that was sent to us this Christmas made our pantry and our hearts full. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, even [...]

Hobby sites and internet woes.

Nika — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 13:11:41 +0000

I hate not being able to access the internet as often as I did before. Right now I’m stuck using a prepaid USB stick for internet access since the phone company can’t install DSL in our area yet. We moved a couple of months ago so I’ve been on prepaid internet since August. I’m hoping [...]

Ring, ring, I want an engagement ring.

Nika — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 01:07:29 +0000

I’ve been searching online for beautiful diamond engagement rings that can serve as an inspiration for a site I’m working on. Going around dozens of sites made me want one of my won. xD I really like bands that have both silver and gold in it because the colors are just so pretty. It’ll be [...]

Statement shirts are love.

Nika — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 07:50:26 +0000

I was looking around for some possible gifts for my loud friends and I found some very “loud” funny tshirts on the web. I’m not too sure if people would approve theme here (since some are still quite conservative) but I found some funny lines that I’d consider adding to my t-shirt collection. I really [...]

Handy dandy backpack.

Nika — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 04:45:27 +0000

I’ve grown to love backpacks since the first time I used them in gradeschool. I prefer backpacks to messenger bags because they distribute the weight better for my shoulders and back compared to our regular messenger bags. I try to keep at least one backpack handy in case I need to go out on road [...]

Single and truly rich.

Nika — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 05:48:00 +0000

I guess one of the good things about being single is not worrying about gifts for boyfriend birthdays. I’m thinking of attending the Kerygma Conference this year, it’ll be on November 18-20 and the ticket costs Php 600 for the single stream. I don’t want to attend it by myself though, so if my sister [...]

Buying accessories as gifts.

Nika — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:09:33 +0000

I finally figured a way to give all my godchildren and friends gifts this Christmas. I can simply get them accessories that match their personalities. It would be easier to gift my female godchildren cute headbands, hairclips and hair bows and caps to my male godchildren. It would be easier than giving clothes since I [...]
