I have always prayed that I will settle with someone who has the same interest as me and do what I want to do I don’t want someone who just wants to do things because I want them too but like what he is deciding to do. I think I have met the perfect guy for me and he is so sweet. He has clearly thought of his future and his future family because he has annuity payments for all types of insurances. I mean, I didn’t know this at first but when I knew, I felt it was a sign he was meant for me. I did the same too when I had my first job because I know nothing is permanent in this world so I better prepare for my future with or without a husband.

Today is a great day! I jogged with my dog while my son is riding his bike! I don’t get to do that everyday but those moments are just precious. I wish I could do that everyday but if I do, we are going to starve. Anyway, I wake up at around 7, I know that it is totally late but I was tired from last nights paperwork, and my dog was already wagging his tail like he was inviting me to go for a walk. I couldn’t resist that and when my son woke up, he was also ready to go out. It is like these two knows that I am free all day!

I use to feel that money is everything, because some people think they are. I have been saving the money thta I earn from my work since I first started and I haven’t spent a single cent of it to myself or anybody. But I feel like I am being selfish that I am not sharing my blessings. I needed to reassure myself that money isnt everything and that I can spend them whenever I want. So, I will send gift basket to charlotte, north carolina based to my parents and sisters and friends that I love to show them I am not those people who love money than they love their people. Plus a good treat of berries will sure make me and them happy.

My husband used to call me addictive and impulsive buyer and shopper when we were still going out. But it didn’t make him wanna quit the relationship instead we got married two years after. I guess he think that I will change but I didn’t. Actually I did in some ways because now, I only buy and becomes an impulsive buyer when it comes to our baby. I get to buy baby nursery bedding all the time because it is easy to find…online! Well, now he will not be angry because it is all for the baby. The joy of shopping on the other hand is my joy.

You know how I feel about men and women on their lab coats, I feel they are respectful and that they have all the confidence in the world more than a beauty queen. I mean, they all walk around with their while lab coats and just flaunt it really well with their heads up and I envy that so much. So, when my grandmother ask me to stay with her a few years back and at the same time ask me to work in this clinic, I immediately said yes because I know I will be wearing those envious looking white lab coats. Oh that summer was so amazing it became my obsession.

Oh how I love the new ‘sunbrella‘ as my cousin will call it in our patio. My mom purchased it online because she couldn’t stand the heat of the sun at around 10 am. I mean it still have that vitamin D right but I guess when you are old like my mom, you cannot stand the heat even at around 8 or 9 am. But, it is cool having that umbrella under the sun because it feels like summer all over again. I know it will not be long until that season come and I am sure going to be ready when it did.

I am glad that they let us have our own nursing scrubs design at work. We can wear whatever it is that we feel comfortable with and at the same time have a uniformed theme when we are in the same department. Usually, you can’t see nurses in one room unless they are in the lounge or something, so you wouldn’t really know if we are on the same theme. Anyway, the nursing scrubs that I got was on sale and I made my colleagues buy from there too so we will have the same quality of clothes, which by the way they said was terrific.

It was so hard not having my mom in the house anymore. I mean, she is the best mom there is, next to my grandma of course. She handles everything at home. The finances, the food for the week, what we need and all those stuff. My dad gives her the money and she rise to the occasion all the time. It is like she is superwoman! But when she died, everything fell off their places. The house was a mess, there’s no food in the fridge anymore and there was nobody cooking for us.
Aside from this stuff, my mother will be truly miss for what she is. As the eldest of the four siblings, I needed to step up. I needed to forget that I was just a member of the family, I needed to be the leader of them all. I needed to handle everything, especially the finances which my dad had no idea whatsoever.
As a woman, maybe, I had the instinct of the traits and qualities my mom had. I may handle the situation differently as she was doing, but I managed to come up with good solutions to it. My grandparents still live with us so their welfare is also a priority for us. One thing that made me learn more is about the bulk payments of our credit cards, insurance policies and the bills to pay at home. I mean, man, that is a lot to take! Good thing I get to review some of it by buying FFIEC Guidance in a discounted price. All of a sudden, I was the financial expert at home and I loved it. So, I took a course in accountancy, a few units for me to know if I will truly enjoy it and I did. Being the man of the house isn’t that bad at all.

When buying power tools, I always go cordless like the bosch cordless. Well, aside from it look really good when it is cordless, it also is very convenient to handle when you are using it especially the cordless hammer drills that I really use a lot. I never fail to put on something new on our wall so it is very convenient holding a piece of tool that will not be disturbing when you use it. Good thing these stuff was invented. No more hardships on my part and the part of any power driller out there.

I thought my husband almost forget our anniversary because he has been quiet the whole evening and never mentioned anything, not even greet me on our special day. But I wasn’t expecting that he will give me some anniversary rings for women that he said he bought online and that was a total surprised because he never shop online…ever! He is not a surprise kind of man but when he do, you will be totally surprised. I find the ring really pretty and when I knew what the price is, it made me love him even more.
