WHAT TO BUY AND WHAT TO GIVE

Coming home to Cebu has been very stressful on me mentally, physically, emotionally and financially. Planning on what gifts to buy and what clothes to bring is so stressful. You have to write down each and everyone of your relatives so you wont forget to buy them something. The other hassle is thinking about the right thing to get for them specially the men. With the women I have no problems, I just buy a bunch of Victoria Secret stuff and give them out. The men on the other hand are more of a problem on what to get them. I bought some shirts for the male relatives but I got a headache thinking about the sizes and if it will fit or not. I was so tempted to just buy wholesale clothes to bring back home. I just hope that my relatives won't be disappointed with what I will be giving them. The important thing is it came from the heart and i thought of them. As the saying goes " It's the thought that counts ".

SUPER SWEET 16

Who watches My Super Sweet 16 on MTV? I just finished watching the episode where Lil' Mama was coming out for her 16th birthday. I have never heard of her though maybe coz I am an old fart already? But anyway she is apparently a singer or rapper. The theme of her party was about coming out of a Princess. She wanted it big but most of all she wanted to celebrate it with her family. She wanted to make sure that her family looked gorgeous and nice for her big day so she got tuxedo for the male members of her family. I think it was cream or off white but the guys did look elegant and sophisticated. Of course every one looked great on the big day specially the birthday girl. I really don't approve of this show and how this young men and women and partying like crazy and getting cars like it was nothing. A part of me is sorry that this kids are growing up spoiled by the parents. I just hope this kids grow up to be successful persons not just spoiled brats.

THE RIGHT FIT

Spring is finally here and I am just giddy and happy as can be. I can wear jean more now since the weather is not that cold. I usually wear sweats in the winter time keeps my legs warmer. Only a couple of my jeans fit me perfectly. Finding jeans that is not to long and won't show my butt crack is hard to find. Having a big butt makes it hard for me to wear low rise or hipster kind of jeans. I could wear them but when it comes to bending down forget it,lol...The kind of jeans I wear are the boot leg style jeans. However I am liking the new skinny jeans that I got from a friend. Maybe I should try browsing through Joe's jeans and see what kinds of style they have. Durability and the fitting is important to me since I'm the kind of person that will keep wearing the same thing over and over again if I love it. Hopefully my diet and exercise will pay off so I can wear some of my old jeans,lol

SHOW OFF THOSE CURVES

It cannot be denied that summer makes me laugh, hop and smile. I guess its the blinding sunshine and warmth of the sun that makes me want for Summer to be all year long. I have finally switched my wardrobe from winter to summer and I'm so relieved that its over. I still have quite a few outfits I would like to add to my meager summer wardrobe. Getting a great pair of jeans is the next on my agenda. Something that will go a long way and can be worn anywhere at anytime. I watch this one show that emphasizes on getting a great pair of denim that will go a long way. It matters very little about the cost since once you have found that special jeans it will eventually pay for itself. Were lucky that Armani Exchange is having a big sale " New Premium Denim" starting at $98. I know its a little expensive but hey if the fit is perfect why not right? The Potassium Straight Leg is probably my favorite since it can be dressy and casual at the same time. And the straight cut is most flattering for my figure and it looks good with very high heels. What about if I tell you that you can own one of the many denims they have? I bet that peaked your interest. Its actually very simple, all you have to do is text A|Xvia sms and win a new pair of denims everyday this July. And if you can't wait and decide to purchase a pair of denim from Armani Exchange you get a $20 gift card off your next purchase of $100 or more. But hurry this offer is already in full swing and will end 8/15/09. And don't forget to show off those curves in your new denim.

SANTA AND LAUNDRY

Tomorrow will be the day we take the kids to Christiana Mall to see Santa Claus. I'm very curious to see what Kaitlyn's reaction to be seeing Santa and being on his lap now that she has a perception of who are family and who are strangers. It will be very very interesting to see if she will freak out or flirt with Santa, lol. My day was spent folding most of Kaitlyn's clothes and thinking were and when will she be able to wear her hand me downs from her cousins. I still haven't finished putting away all the clothes since i got so bored with folding and i hate it! Doing laundry is never ending, one minute everything is washed, folded and put away the next there is a whole mountain pile of soiled clothes to be washed again! Will there be a day where there are no clothes in the laundry basket? That would be a miracle if that happens.
