NIKON LOVER

My husband is a Nikon lover. He loves photography since he was 13 years old and his first camera was Nikon. Until now, he’s still using Nikon camera and all his accessories are all from Nikon. Last year, he bought me a Nikon camera because he wants me to have the same camera brand as him. He also has a Nikon’s All Terrain Binocular (ATB) but he sold it last year because he wants to buy a new one. He doesn’t know when he’s going to buy it. I was thinking to buy it as his Christmas gift. I’m sure he will be very happy with it. I’m already saving money for his gift but the money I have is only good for the binocular. Good that Nikon Pro Gear has a promotion until December 31, 2008. They are giving Free ATB Pro Gear gift card. They are giving $50 gift card if you purchase one of the Monarch ATB binoculars and $25 gift card if you get any of the Trailblazer ATB, an Action Extreme ATB, or a ProStaff binocular.
I’m so excited to buy the Nikon’s ATB for my hubby for his Christmas gift. To those of you, who are interested with this promo, visit Nikon Pro Gear for more information.

PAINTING

We started the first coat of primer last night at 9:00. We did the ceiling and the walls. This morning we did the second coat of primer and hubby did the first coat of the finishing white paint in the ceiling. We planned to do the first coat of paint in the wall tonight but we had an argument of the color and we were not in the mood of doing it so we will do it tomorrow. I think we're already close to finish the job. I started cleaning the dust in the kitchen. Oh my!I need to have a big cleaning all over the kitchen and dining room. There are lots of dust inside the cupboard. I need to wash all the kitchen utensils. I think I will do this tomorrow while hubby will do the first coat of paint in the wall. I guess by the end of next week, everything will be in place including my christmas decor hehehehe.

Photos below were taken this morning.me in my working cloth ready to do the second coat of primer
i'm only doing the edge and hubby did the rolls all over

DEBT CONSOLIDATION

I just talk to my friend a while ago. She has big problem just now. She was laid off 2 days ago and she still has lots of debt from here credit cards and her car is not yet fully paid. She was panic and she doesn’t know where to get money to pay her monthly bill for her credit cards and car. She tried to borrowed money from me but I don’t have it just now. I’m not working and I’m supporting my mom in Philippines. I really want to help my friend. I tried to check in the internet if I can find something that will help her. Luckily I found debt consolidation and I guess this will help her a lot. I know that this is the answer of her problem because they will help her reduce her balances up to 50% with one easy low monthly payment.
I told her about this right away and she was very happy and excited to have her debt loans soon.

SNOW SNOW SNOW

At last it's snowing! Some places here in Quebec already have lots of snow 2 weeks ago. But here in our place, we had a little snow this morning. I don't think this will stay long. The weather is not that cold yet. Very soon, we will have lots of snow :-) I really love snow though it's pretty cold but you will just wear the proper cloths and everything will be okey and you will enjoy the whole winter.
I took a picture in our patio will a little snow. This is the first snow we have this year.
That's all for now guys. I'm going back to my work. We're not yet done in our living room. We have to work this and finish soon because I can't work in the wednesday anymore because I will start another french class next week but this time it's only wednesday. This is still free but the class is one on one. There are only 8 students for now and each one of us have one professor. This time, I will be studying more in writing and communication. This will help me improve my communication skill.

MESSY JOB

The messy job in the house is almost done. The sanding in the wall and in the ceiling were already done. The floor was done too. I already vacuum the floor but there are still some dust in the furniture and in the kitchen. I will do it tomorrow and the next step will be the varnish in the floor and painting all over the living room. I guess we will finish before December...maybe in two weeks. I'm so excited now.

That's all for now and have a nice evening to all!

DEMOLITION

Wow! It's been a week now that I didn't update all my blogs. I'm so sorry about it guys. We are so busy lately and I guess this will go on until december. As I said in my previous post, we are late in demolishing our living room. And finally, we already done in demolishing the wall and electricity is also done. At least the big jobs were done. The next job will be the sanding of the floor and varnish then paint the wall. Sanding is quite a big job also and I can imagine the dust all over the house. I'm looking forward to finish this job so that I can start putting my christmas decor and we will shop for a new couch and new cinema maison (home theater).

We didn't do anything today. We just want to rest and tomorrow will be my hubby's birthday. Too bad I can't do a party in the house. But I will treat him tomorrow in the new Thai Resto here.

I LOVE SILVER JEWELRY

I remember when I was in my first year of high school I always wear my one and only 18 karat gold necklace that I got from my mom. My friends kept on telling me not to wear it always because they found it ugly and old. I know that it was an old necklace but because it was from my mom, I want to wear it always. Friends were a big influence to me on that time. They love fashion and they introduced me in the world of fashion. Then I started to wear silver jewelry and I found it cute. Until now, I’m still using silver jewelry.

BAD WEATHER

You won’t believe me if I will tell you that at this hour (4:11p.m.) I’m still in my pajama. I woke up not late this morning because I want to serve the breakfast in bed for my hubby. Then after the breakfast, we continue our work here in the house and this time, we’re working with the papers here in the computer room. We throw a lot of papers and the recycle container is already full. We will just put it in the next batch. We’re not finish yet. We still have some more things to do in the living room’s closet. I’m working with my pajama hehehe. I don’t feel to change because I’m comfortable working with my pajama. We didn’t go out because it’s raining and very dark and so windy. Opps! Honey went to his office for a meeting and I just stayed home and watch TV. After this I will take a shower because we will have our souper at my brother-in-law’s place.
Oh by the way, I just want to share to you what happen to my Halloween decors outside. I didn’t know that the wind is so strong because I’m in the house and I didn’t go out. When I check outside, one bag of leaves put under the tree flew to the street. I put my jacket right away because I want to take it back under the tree. It only took me a few second to go out. When looked back in the tree, all the bags were in the street already. Oh my! I just realize that the wind is so strong until now. I guess, snow will follow very soon.

FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK

My first day of the week starts with a bright and sunny morning. I woke up with the sunlight in my face. Hubby opens the curtain in our room to have a light when he brought my breakfast in the bed. It’s been long that I didn’t have my breakfast in bed. After we installed the roof in the patio last summer, we always have our breakfast in the patio. We even minimize in going to the restaurant for breakfast because we want to enjoy our patio in the summer. We took out the roof I think two weeks ago for the winter. Since then, we also go out for brunch. But this morning hubby surprised me with a breakfast in the bed. I was so happy because I really miss it. We used to have breakfast in bed every Saturday before and it stopped in summer.
We spent our day outside. We been somewhere and we arrived home almost 4:00 in the afternoon. We didn’t do much work in the house today. I’m not so happy about it because hubby’s boss called him and told him that he will work anytime this month. We didn’t start demolishing the wall yet. Oh my! I’m really looking forward to put my Christmas decor soon. I’m just waiting to finish the work in the living room. I hope we will finish middle of November.
That’s all for now and I will go back working my pictures. This is also one of my problem now. I’m getting lost with all my pictures. I don’t know how to file them. Any tips?

SAN FRANCISCO TO SAN DIEGO

When my husband worked in California, he moved two times. First he worked in San Francisco for 6 months and then his boss transferred him to San Diego. He had a hard time to move because aside from he was working fulltime, he’s not from California and he knows nothing in moving. His friend can’t help him because he was working to. He looked for a moving company to assist him. He found the American Van Lines. He was so happy and thankful to relocation.com. They helped him a lot in planning everything to make it easy for the moving. And not only that, their service fee is also affordable.

Hubby moved to San Diego without any stress.

BUSY DAY

Yes! We are so busy today. Infact, we are not yet finish here. I just stop a little to give you some update. After we attended the sunday mass, we went to the restaurant for a brunch. Hubby told me while we were eating that he might work in Houston, Texas. If this will happen, he might start very soon and our plan of demolishing the wall in the living room will be cancel which I don't want. So, we went home right after the brunch and we empty the closet in the living room because that's the one we will demolish. I'm looking forward to finish this work so that I can start putting up my christmas decor. I have to go back to my work now...til next time

GAGIERS PHOTOGRAPHY

I just finish my other blogsite GAGIERS PHOTOGRAPHY. This site is mainly for my photographs. I have been interested in the field of photography just a few months ago. And lately, I’m thinking of taking a photography course but I’m sure I will not take it this year. Probably I will take it next year in the winter. Just now, hubby is giving me some tricks on how to have a good shot. I’m not a good photographer yet but I’m learning.
If you have time, just have a look at GAGIERS PHOTOGRAPHY to see some of my photographs. I still have some photo to post but I will do it later.
Enjoy your visit.

READY FOR WINTER


We all know that winter is fast approaching. That means we have to start preparing everything for the winter like winter tires, snow pale, snow blower, winter stuff for the car and of course winter clothes and shoes. We already finished preparing outside the house like the water hose is already empty, the fence were already in the shed, the grass is already ready for the winter and so with my plants. We are still using the summer tire. We will put the winter tires first week of December.
This afternoon, we went for my boots. Hubby bought me a new pair of boots which is good up to -40 C/-40 F because this year, we will do a lot of winter activity. In this way, my feet will not be freeze. This boots is quite expensive because we bought it at this time of the year which is not on sale. Good thing that I bought my winter jacket last spring with 60% discount because it’s already at the end of the season. I guess I did a good purchase in my jacket because this afternoon, we had a look of the same jacket and it cost a fortune hehehe.
Well, I’m already ready for the winter and much looking forward for it. Winter here is cold but there are much activity going on that you will enjoy.

OPENING A NEW BANK ACCOUNT

Yesterday we went to the bank and I open a new bank account exclusive for my family in Philippines. I have automatic transfer from hubby’s account to my own bank account. The transfer will go to my 2 bank account. I have 2 bank accounts at the same name. One is for the house and the other one is for my own. Then yesterday, I open another one because this money transfer that I am into now to send to my family is online transfer. I don’t want to use any of my 2 accounts so I decided to have another one just for my family. This account is empty. We will only make a deposit if we need to send money to them. In this way, I feel safe because there’s nothing in this account.
While doing the transaction yesterday, the woman offers me a visa card. I already have MasterCard as hubby’s extension. But I want to have my own. I was not able to make up my mind yesterday so I told the woman that I will call her back as soon as I will fix my mind. I was hesitated to have it because just now, I’m the one who pays all the bills in the house. I’m the one who do the budget. Well, the money is already there. All I need to do is make sure that I will not spend more than what I have in the bank. I’m really afraid of debt because I know a lot of my friends that are suffering from debt. They made a loan from the bank with their house as collateral. They use their credit card for their daily needs. When it’s time to pay the bills, they don’t know where to get the money because their salary is not enough because of the interest of their debt that goes up and up. They get so stress. They have to work overtime or work 2 jobs. I know some of them are into debt consolidation. This is a program that offers free ongoing credit counselling services and educational materials regardless of whether or not consumers enroll in the debt management plan program. Also offers free educational seminars to the public. This program helps them a lot. They are not stress now like before. They know how to manage their money and pay the bills regularly without any hassle.

GOLF COURSE

My friend loves to play golf. Last summer, I went with her in her golf course. I try a few plays and I really love it. I was thinking of taking a course next summer. I talked to my hubby about taking golf course but he didn’t say anything about it. I thought he didn’t want me to take it but this morning, he told me that we will enroll together in this course. I’m so happy and excited about this. The enrolment will start very soon. Just now, we are looking for good and affordable golf accessories online. Hubby found a very affordable golf balls.

MY APPETITE

I have been eating a lot this past few months. I have a lot of appetite since I started to love cooking. Dear hubby is always reminding me to control my appetite and eat healthy foods. But I can’t do it. I ate a lot of sweets and rice. I gain a lot of weight and it’s really scaring me. I did some exercise but it’s only good for a few days and then I felt lazy to do it again. It’s really frustrating looking myself in the mirror. We did some shopping yesterday for my cloths because mine didn’t fit me anymore. Well, what can I say? For now, I am checking this lapband surgeon Cincinnati maybe this is the answer of my problem.

DOCTOR'S VISIT

Tomorrow will be our regular doctor's visit. 4 times a year we visit our family doctor for the regular check up. It's better like this so that we can monitor our health and if ever there is a problem, the doctor can do something for it. So far, my health is good. All my test are okey. I'm so happy about it because I'm so afraid of diabetes and kidney failure as what my parents have. I'm hoping that our blood test result will be okey and no problem.

BIRTHDAY PARTY

It's already 10:37 pm now. We just arrived from my friend's place. We attended her birthday party. We are not that many but we really enjoy the night. The party was held in their land in the forest. No houses and not even a single cottage. We made a bonfire to warm us. It was pretty cold.
We had a very tiring day today. We just arrived this morning from the chalet and we drive straight to my friend's place. We're always in a rush this week. Hubby wants to rest tomorrow and stay in the house.
I took a few photo but I will just post it next time because I'm very sleepy now.
Bonne nuit tout le monde:-)
