Our Future Driver

Just by looking at the content of my son’s toy chest now, I just know that tons of toy cars, matchboxes and toy trucks will be added into it each year. As early as now, he now has, or should I say, his Daddy has collected 6 Ferrari toy matchboxes for him. These are the Ferrari racing cars that were put on Php 99 promo for every tank up at a gasoline station before. As young as he is, he knows how to play with these toy cars already and he enjoys letting them revved up and banging and bumping each other. Then he also has a Chicco toy car that he can ride, maneuvered and manual power through his feet. His Daddy also gifted him a Plasma Car last Christmas. I am quite amazed how he has mastered to drive them and how he developed his sense of direction so fast. He can steer the wheel and can get to any direction or location he pleases. It looks like we need to save up as early as now for a real car that I’m sure he’ll request when he turns 18 and licensed to drive. Well for as long as he can promise that he’ll be careful and responsible enough to take care of it and for as long as he’d be knowledgeable about troubleshooting, its parts or honda accessories for example, then I’m fine with that. In fact, his Daddy would gladly retire from driving then and would be very willing to pass on the driving throne (errr, the steering wheel) to him.

This Week’s To Do

I have so much to do this coming week. It’s month end again and it’s that time when we have to fulfill a few obligations before another month starts:

1. Pay utility bills
2. Buy a few electrical supplies for the busted lights in the garage
3. Anticipate for a freight box from US that is scheduled to be delivered soon
4. Account January household expenses and prepare cash forecast and allot a budget for February expenses
5. Work on another blog project
6. Canvass furniture and appliances for LM
7. Replenish grocery supplies in the cupboard
8. Start the party preparations for the little one’s second birthday on March
9. Visit my folks in Makati who’ll be arriving from Saudi on Thursday

I’m looking forward to To Do #9. Perhaps I should also include the task of preparing paper and plastic bags for their pasalubongs. LOL

Blackish Bumps.

Just done browsing our holiday photos in my Flickr gallery. I got somewhat disturbed by one particular close up photo of mine (nope, I’m not posting the photo here) where my blackheads are very evident. Well, I’m not really a vain person and I don’t mind not having a blemish free face but it’s just that those blackish bumps erupted at the wrong place. I won’t tell where but just figure it out. It’s also sized kinda larger than the usual as if it’s screamingly inviting a blackhead extractor. How I wish I have seen them before I had my picture taken. I remember there was a time when I got so addicted using nasal pore strips especially when I see tons of them sticking on the strip after. And of course, I love that smooth feeling on the skin.

Multitasking

I think I have mastered this art ever since I became a Mom. If you are one, I’m sure you can relate with me given the tons of tasks we are faced with day to day. But I know that in cases of those real full time moms, it’s even way harder compared to mine. Even though I’m blessed to have a nanny who helps look after a very high spirited toddler, I still get occupied that much especially when I’m swamped with online works. So multitasking indeed gets a lot of work done in a breeze. Perfect example is now, I’m reading epiduo reviews while eating my snacks and looking after a son who’s busying himself with his toys.

By Hook or By Crook.

Save for the tentatively scheduled Acuatico getaway come summer, I don’t think we will have or we can have another future trips this year. We have plotted our priorities and even though we would love to, travelling isn’t included in the budget list. We’re just fortunate that my “balikbayan” sister from Doha volunteered to shoulder a portion of the Acuatico trip expenses so we’re not passing it up. This is actually tough because airlines are offering tempting deals left and right. I’m so itching to book ourselves and take advantage of the super low fares but no, I need to control myself. We might not be able to avail these enticing packages such as the Branson vacation packages this year but I will see to it that we’ll have them in two years time. I’ll make a way, save up for it. It will happen by hook or by crook!
