If it’s just a couple of hours, it’s pointless for me to catch a cab home, so I have to hang out in that crummy, stuffy room and try to read a book. Key word, try!! So let’s see how it goes today .

Okay, on with the details which are so simple even your kids can help you with it. All you have to do is make and submit a video in one of the following categories:
• “My contacts are getting in the way of my good time”
• “My favorite sport or activity would be so much cooler with better vision”
• “You should see life after the iLASIK® Procedure”.

Then just call up your friends and pester ask them to vote for you because votes are one of the deciding factors to help you win any of those amazing prizes. So yeah, go ahead and bribe your friends if you have to to increase your chances of winning the Grand Prize of $5,000 (selected from all submitted videos).

Even if you don’t win that, you could qualify for any of category prizes, i.e. 3 First Prizes of a HDTV package valued at $2,500 value, and 3 Second Prizes of the Flip UltraHD camcorder valued at $199.99.

So don’t miss out on your chance. Go check out the iLASIK Video Contest details here. Folks have already started submitting their entries so you’d best get started quick.

So yeah, after one group digs and patches up the road, another group comes in, digs up the same patch and then patches it up again. Ridiculous. Definitely no planning and coordination!

That’s what keeps them occupied when I’m out shopping or when they get bored talking on the phone or listening to their MPs. My girl friend has signed up for Direct TV and I’m thinking of doing the same. I’m going to pop over to her place to check out the Direct TV packages she’s subscribed for before I decide which ones I want.

But yes, my kids are doing pretty good in school and I think they deserve to enjoy some great Directtv. Can’t believe I just said that . It’s also a great way to keep them out of my hair while I’m busy with holiday preparations.

So I’ve buying one bottle at a time of different brands to try out. Hence the problem of not stocking up. We’ve never run out of shampoo before . Better put it on my grocery list right now before I forget.

I rather like the idea of layering though the weather here is usually consistently warm so we’ve never had the opportunity for much of that. But my kids think it’s really cool the fashion trends celebs set by piling on layer after layer of clothes and accessories.

I love shopping but I’m always trying to save. Good thing though is that my daughters and I can share any women’s clothing we buy so I guess that’s good and I shouldn’t complain.

Hmm, do I smell a weekend coming up? Shopping time! Yay, can’t wait. Last weekend, we bought a pair of shoes each, so let’s see how we do this weekend.

Think I’ve got a fridgeful of stuff that’s probably getting stale by now. To be quite honest, I wish I could have a few more days of eating out. My brain doesn’t seem to be tuned to thinking up meal menus right now .

Helping DH find some affordable business cards, I found some free business cards that sound too good to be true. Somehow I feel much more comfortable opting for 123print.com’s offer of 30 customizable full-color business cards at $1.99. I can certainly live with that .

They offer free uploads of thousands of card designs to choose from. Sounds great to me because I’m not about to try my utterly un-artistic hand at designing anything, no way, no thanks .

Well, guess what? We went to a rock concert and partied the night away. Yes, little ol’ me and the kids. Great stuff, I tell ya. And now I can officially say I’m a rock concert freak !

If our plans are to materialize, I’d better start checking out the Accor Hotels 3-Day Super Sale Asia Pacific. Well, the sale is only for 3 days from October 27 thru 30, 2009 where I’ll have over a million room nights to choose from with rates starting as low as US$30 per night, and we can plan our stays any time between December 2009 to April 2010. At such crazy low rates, I’m already starting to imagine how much I’ll save !

Even if we change our minds about Australia, there’s still all the other exotic destinations in Asia Pacific – Thailand, Korea, China, Japan, HK, Australia, Singapore, Vietnam, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Fiji, Indonesia, Taiwan, India, Bali – to choose from, each with its own unique personality and charm.

Woo-hoo, I can’t wait to start surfing I’m so excited just thinking about looking at all the hotel options available. Come to think of it, the last I visited Bali and Hong Kong, I shopped so much I almost missed my flight home!
