Joey's Bday

Today is my hubby's birthday. It didn't turn out to be my plan. I don't know why but my spirit is quite low. I bought him a cake yesterday and supposedly will give him when he will still be in bed. He got up early so I missed the excitement. I gave him the cake while he was working with his laptop in the living room. The cake was messed up. It melted from the heat. I was so upset that it didn't look so good. I was a bit dismay on it. But what can I do, I don't want to throw away that in waste after all it's a chocolate cake.

Awhile ago, I was with hubby in Mazda Capitola in San Jose. I thought he will buy the car that he was expecting. We droved one car but Joey doesn't want the manual transmission so we end up going home with no car and no deal. It pissed me off as well because I wanted his day to be special that he will be happy.

Right now, he treated himself to a SPA treatment in Bowers. I could have thought of that so I'm mad of myself why I didn't plan it for him. My conscience is bugging me this very minute. I can't go with him to treat myself too for personal reason so I can't join his relaxation.

I just booked a dinner tonight in Palo Alto. I hope our dinner will be fine. I hate myself today and what the day had been.

Shopping break

Well, it is very exciting to read or hear about shopping. Today isn't so much for me. Majority all the things I bought were all for my hubby. We will spend our wedding anniversary next week on Wednesday. I am preparing myself to get some so by next week I will not rush to buy something I am not fond of. Last night, I spent few hours and thinking what things to buy. So when I had my running around today, it's very easy and not frustrating. I spent a lot I would say. Not too much but just even. I have 5 items total. 3 for the anniversary and 2 for his birthday. I am excited. I spend a few of myself just things that are very necessary but I forgot to buy stocking. I will just buy it tomorrow in a nearby walgreens. Another shopping again. For now, I have to reserved the places I went to and what the items are. My husband might read this. I don't want to spoil the excitement.

Food on my Plate

I am excited to cook fish tonight. I got it from my hubby when he went fishing with his employees. I stocked it in my fridge for days now. I still got a few of them. It will take me several days until I can finish them all.

I had my dinner and I cook the fish with salt, pepper and garlic powder. I liked my fish to be overcooked and crunch. Tonight it was crunchy but not all. I wish I had cooked it more but I don't want to lose the flavor. Yet, when I had in on plate with soy sauce mixed with lemon juice I am happy. I paired it with baked potato. I am trying to avoid rice these days. It's my 5th day now from preventing to eat it. I am glad I did able to not crave for it. I hope it will continue and I can replace with something else. To end my story here, I had a great meal tonight.

Quite Awhile

It has been awhile I haven't posted some lines here. Things have changed recently. From the time I got a new task at work since Aug 15, I only got a few time at night to spend on blogging. I spare some of my strength at the other blog ILLUSTRATION OF PASSION though not all the time. I can only write when able. But just to let other people know that this site is still running and today I am updating it.

Well, I got a good news from work. I got my raise. I am expecting that it will reflect on the 25th pay or perhaps on the 9th of next month. I have a 15% increase. Not pretty bad but I wish to have more. LOL! I understand my company. It's a non-profit so I can't expect more on that. I am happy that my boss is satisfied with my job and he is glad I stayed. So much cheers today but will hold it until I can see my pay check. :)

No work

I woke up sometime around 4am uneasy in bed with my stomach growling. I did number 2 and it was not so good. I guess the pizza I ate last night had something to do with that. Maybe the dough was bad or something. Hubby bought frozen pizza the day before. I am not sure whether it was cooked thoroughly or the pizza itself is bad. When I tasted it last night, there was something that I didn't like. I was not sure if it's the sauce or something. But my stomach can attest that there was something bad because I got sick until I did report early today at work. Then, when I was just 20 minutes there my stomach was making noise again and I rushed to go to the bathroom. I talked to my boss after and he said I will just take off when I won't be able to handle it. So I went home. I just stayed at home watching tv and feeling my stomach.

Buyer's remorse

The real estate market is slow and the economy is in no way to recover soon. Many are affected with the prices and equity value going down. I am in this position trying to think that it is okay but it is not. Just imagine how you wanted to sell your home in a profit that you will definitely want to get but can’t sell it the way it is planned. Instead, you hold it until the value of the house recovers but with the US economy right now. Nobody knows when. There are many economists trying to forecast about the incremental value of the houses but nobody is certain if things can recover at what it is forecasted. It is still a mystery now whether it can recover 5 years from now or maybe more and longer than that. I will just cross my fingers for the fastest recovery.

I bought a home when it is slowly going down. I didn’t know how the market will play at that time so right now I am stocked with the mortgage. It is very hard to joggle all the bills I am paying right now. I wish there could be a debt relief for this. But I guess right now the best thing to do is to consolidate debt in a very good manner so everything can be paid in time. It is just sometimes hard when there is an unexpected spending. Now that I am very cautious of my expenses, I am glad to read about BillsIQ. They help people with financial problems and offer advices to help. It varies though from household to a person. For more details pay a visit to Bills IQ. There are topics like Debt consolidation,Debt help,Credit card debt,Credit counseling,Bankruptcy and a lot more.

Montara State Beach

I was with hubby when we took the route to Half Moon Bay to this location. It was a very nice afternoon. Not so cold, a little bit breezy but it was definitely a good day. It was going to San Francisco maybe 20 minutes away. We were on top of a hill. The shore is down the hill but we didn't go down there. It would take minutes to go down so we just stayed where we were and took some shots. It was a new discovery. There are so many places here to take really good picture with nature. I just don't have the best camera but I think I got some vision on what a good place maybe.
