I thought he likes Chocolates with Peanut Butter

We've been married for 3 years but it is only this evening that I knew - he doesn't like it. I assumed because he once told me that he likes Butterfinger Chocolates. And since this chocolate bar is a combination of rich milk chocolate and crunchy peanut butter, I thought that he likes every chocolate with peanut butter. But I was wrong.

We've laughing really hard inside the car. He told me that it is because I kept on assuming. All those time, he was wondering why I kept on giving him peanut butter flavored chocolate. Wow MALI! Hehehe.

Typhoon Frank ruined my Recent LOs

Yesterday.... I was not able to sleep well because of the Typhoon Frank. The rain was falling so hard and deafening. Though I was half-asleep, I was looking at hubby from time to time to see if the rain is waking him up. But it didn't. He was so asleep.I still needed to wake him up for him to check if all our windows are closed. Though, he was so sleepy, he got up and found out that some of the windows in our room are still open. Some of our things already got wet including my AMM tote. I was half mad that time. Then, he got back to sleep. I was able to sleep for some time but I dreamt that windows from the other room is open and the water is coming it. I woke up and tried to woke up hubby. He told me that it was closed. Believing in him, I go back to sleep.

At 8 in the morning, a strong banging of a window woke me up. I asked hubby to checked it. It was the window by our stairs. A lot of water already went inside our house. Hubby also informed me that my cart got wet. I got up immediately and found that my scrapbook albums are wet. I was fiery mad that time but don't know who to blame. What makes me more mad is that the LOs that got wet were my latest creations. Waah. Hubby also got mad because he became my shock absorber. Then, I asked hubby to just let my LOs dry up downstairs in our sala. Good thing that hubby thought of my heat gun. He dried my LOs with the heat gun. Buti na lang... di masyado halata na nabasa after he dried them up. Pero yung album which is a cloth didn't dried up nice. Maybe, it is because of the color - black and white. After matuyo namin lahat... medyo nawala na init ulo ko. Hubby just asked me to watched the movie " Drillbit Taylor". It was nice and funny movie. And it made me forget the wetness that happened to my LOs.

My question now is how can I make the cover of my album look better? Any suggestion?

In need of a Credit Card?

In our country, the use of credit is not as in-demand like in the other countries. In some countries, you can use your credit card in almost all of the stores.

Currently, I am maintaining two credit cards. I can't give up both because of the benefits that I'm getting from it. The other card gives me gas rebates while the other gives me the lowest interest rate.

While I was surfing the net, I chanced upon this credit card site. It has the complete list of cards available in the market. You can search for a card that suits your preferences and needs. You can search for a card that gives the best rebates, the best rewards and the best offer for balance transfer. There is also a category for special needs like by bank, hotel, airline, gasoline and brand. The site also have an option to search for a card that is best for those with bad credits which are recommended by experts. The site can also help the customers apply for a credit card online.

Overall, I love the site. It is so complete. We can refer this to our friends. And if ever, hubby and I thought of migrating to other country and would need a credit card, we will surely go to this site.

Weekend at Home

We stayed at home the whole weekend because my dad is working with our dirty kitchen's roof. My dad can do almost everything in the house like carpentry, electrical, metal works and paint jobs. He already did a lot of work in our home - master bedroom cabinet, painting of the house, gate, fence and even my garden.

Ariel helped dad with some of the works while I was just taking pictures and giving comments on their works and plan. Very bad of me, huh?

Discussing where to put the rope for hanging clothes.

Today, the roof is done. Just need to paint the walls and woods. The roof will still need some time before painting. This may happen in a few weeks. Dad would also make us a temporary kitchen cabinet. I wonder how it would look like. Hmmm.

My New Baby - Canon Selphy



We were able to try out our new Canon Selphy last Friday. We got it last Thursday from our suking tindahan - EBAY.

We are so happy with it. The advantage of having a compact printer at home is having less pressure of getting to the mall in time for a pix that we need to print asap.

The only problem we have now is we need to buy ink and photo papers. We already used 1 out of the 5 complimentary papers in the package. So excited to use it more!
