Can’t Stop Christmas.

admin — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:23:35 +0000

Despite the recent tragedy, we still can’t stop Christmas. I will start decorating our humble home next week, after my dad’s death anniversary. I am still undecided if I will get additional decorations for the house. As much as possible I don’t want to spend anymore for decors. Plus if I get additional stuff, I need to have a space to store them after Christmas. So I might as well spend on other things of use, like a new bell tv for the kitchen. I do need that, as I spend a fair amount of time in there.

Ikea.

I am loving this bedroom I snagged from the Ikea site. Isn’t this so homey and cozy? I definitely will not leave the house if I have a bedroom this pretty. You will never need a sleeping pill just to have a relaxing sleep. I really want to redo our bedroom and maybe copy even just a bit of this private sanctuary.

One Small Step to Greater Happiness.

A really good and powerful read.

If you want to be happier, let go of that feeling that you’re missing out. As one spiritual teacher said, you could sit on the side of the road for five years and your destiny would still find you. You aren’t missing out on anything.

Stop worrying about what your life would have been like if you had chosen a different college, career, spouse, neighborhood or weekend activity. You’re already sipping margaritas in Puerto Vallarta—forget the connections you could have made at this year’s conference.

Wherever you are, let go of that persistent, nagging doubt that you should be somewhere else—that you would have been better off if you had chosen the other option. You are exactly where you’re supposed to be right now. Focus on that moment and enjoy it.

We are indeed where we are supposed to be.

About Insurance.

I bought my insurance when I was still young and had just started to work. Now I only have a few more years and I will done with the payment. Back then, I didn’t remember going through a life insurance medical exam.

However, as I was going through WholesaleInsurance.net, I realized that it is indeed a requirement for getting a term life, universal life and whole life insurance policies. It is free though all you have to do is wait for their call and of course make sure that your health is at its best.

4. Give someone a sincere, unexpected compliment. Notice the little things.
5. Do something silly, like take a dance break or jump for joy!!
6. Donate your time, clothes, toys, and/or furniture.

It’s White.

admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:56:05 +0000

DH has started painting our living room white. I think I need to get a new set of curtains though as our current curtains look so dull against our white walls. DH agreed with my observation and gave me the go-signal to shop for curtains. And in speaking of white, I just remembered that I need to have my son’s pearly whites checked. I have to schedule an appointment with his dentist by November. I heard about Plano dentist, I wonder if I can have my teeth checked by their dentists as well.

This Reminds Me.

To fix my work area. I have a small table and it’s all messed up. *Sigh* Another one on my to-do list.

Cozy.

admin — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:29:04 +0000

Isn’t this bed cozy and inviting? I love that it’s not so meticulously put together and you wouldn’t be afraid to mess it up. For the longest time, I have been wanting to replace ours with similar plain sheets. But I am afraid, it’s not the proper time yet. My son is into doodling and writing and our current sheets are always filled with pen marks. I should just check on insurance quotes instead for the meantime. House improvement will have to wait, at least when DS is a little bit bigger.
