ONE TO ONE COURSE(APERTURE)

When hubby bought me this MacBook Pro, he also purchase a One to One and apple care at the same time. At first, I don't see any use of buying the one to one because I thought I'm good enough to learn the basic of the computer. But hubby bought it without even asking me if I want  it. I been few times already in my one to one course and I learned a lot about some technics in operating this computer. Then I started to realize that it's worth to pay $100 for the one to one course unlimited visit for 1 year.

Then hubby bought another photo software called "APERTURE". There again, I don't see any use of this software because I was using ACDsee in my other laptop and I love it. I know everything in that software that I don't need to use my photoshop. But with the Mac, the ACDsee Pro that I'm using is not yet available in Mac. But the aperture is given and I didn't spend any cent of it so I use it to please  hubby.

This morning, I had my first session in Aperture. Oh boy! There's lots of things in it that I don't have in my other software. It's friendly and I don't need to use my photoshop CS5 too in editing my pictures. My instructor is a big help also because he's a professional photographer. He gaves me a lot of tips in editing photos. I started to love aperture now:-)

I will have my second session this coming May 12 with him again. I'm so excited :-)

ONE YEAR OVER

March 25, 2012

I'm taking about my Philippines Passport. Yes, it's already expired for over one year. The last time I used it international was 2009 when I visited my family. Then I went to Edmonton, Alberta the year after but it's only a domestic flight so I don't need a passport. Then last year, I never go outside Canada since I started working full-time. I didn't think of checking my passport until 2 weeks ago when I started organizing all my papers stuff since I already have my own filing cabinet. I took my passport and put it in it's place and voila! I just found out that it's already 1 year expired. At first, I didn't feel worry because I know we can renew it by mail like we did the last time but we just found out that to renew that new passport, I need to be there personally. I started to panic since I have a hard time to get a weekdays off. I just took 4 days off before my birthday party because it was a semestral break of the school and somebody can replace my shift.

I told about this to my boss and he was really upset of the situation because the guy that works with me can't do what I'm doing and just my boss and him can't do it during rush hour. I was really praying that somebody can replace me. I was so lucky when I talked to my co-worker (a college student). Her professor in her Pyscho class told them that the don't have class this monday (March 26) so she can work from 11:30 until closing. It's perfect time :-) I took my monday off and I'm here in Ottawa just now to renew my passport tomorrow :-)

Hubby keeps on telling me to apply for a Canadian Citizenship but until now, I didn't apply. Don't ask me why coz even myself don't know why I didn't apply :-) I guess I will wait until I will finish paying the property I bought in Philippines. I still have 1 year and a half left to pay. And after this, I gonna apply for my citizenship :-)

ANOTHER SONG CHIPS

Yes I bought another song chips for my magic sing. It's already my 5th chips plus the built-in songs. I have 2 english chips and 2 tagalog chips. Everytime we will have karaoke at home, hubby just sat there and listen to us singing because he don't know much of the english songs.

This coming March 17, we will celebrate my birthday and our 9th year wedding anniversary at the same time. We invited my friends and his relatives too. We will be 30 all in all, Filipina and Quebecois. So we decided to buy another song chips, a french one so that all of us can join the karaoke. I'm so excited for this event. I hope everything will goes well :-)

BEFORE GOING TO WORK

Febuary 21, 2012

Hubby left for work very early in the morning, 6:20 am. I was not able to sleep back after he left. I tried so that I will not feel sleepy at work but I wasn't able. So what I did, I get up and do some cleaning in the house. I vacuum the bed room, living room, bathroom, dining room, kitchen and computer room. I wanted to vacuum the basement but I decided to do it tomorrow. After I clean everything, I felt good. I open all the window to get some fresh air.

I just realize that it's so nice to wake up early in the morning and do something. You don't feel tried at all. I will try my best to do this often. My work will start 9:30 am and I usually leave from the house 9:00 am because I want to be at work ahead of time.

I'm now ready to leave to work. It's so nice because I still have time to blog. I have to go now and happy tuesday to all :-)

GET TOGETHER

Febuary 20, 2012

I posted in Gagiers Amazing World blog that we been skiing last weekend with my friends. We really had so much fun in our 1 day activity. Skiing in the day and party in the night. My friend's hubby was celebrating his 53rd birthday and my friend gave him a suprise party. It was really a blast.

(With my friends)

She cooked lots of pilipino foods and the night will not be complete without karaoke :-)..singing, dancing, eating, laughing ..that's all we did the whole night. It was really a tiring day but full of fun. We arrived home 1:30 in the morning.

The next day? I stayed in the house the whole day because I was sick :-( but I never had a regret of going out the day before.

NEWLY RENOVATED BLOG

Febuary 18, 2012

This blog was scrap two days ago. I really don't know what's going on. I tried to fix it with the same template but I was not able. I tried to find another template and will have to recode it and it takes me two days to find the right one and this is it. I was happy that I was able to use my previous background and header. The only problem with this template is the date. It doesn't appear in my post. I tried to fix it again but it didn't work. So, as you notice, I wrote the date in the upper left corner. In that way, I will know what date i made the entry.

I guess this will be okay for now. If I will have a chance and time to change the whole template, I guess I will do it.

VACATION HOME RENTALS

I was planning to visit my family in Philippines next month and spend the holy week with them but everything change when I bought a property in our place. I just bought it last month and it's two years to pay. I was so excited with my project so I decided to work full-time this year and save all my money so that I can pay it in 1 year instead of two years. Hubby agreed with my decision and he support me all the way.

So we decided to have our grand vacation next year in Hongkong to celebrate our 10th year wedding anniversary. We got married in Hongkong and hubby wanted to renew our vow in the same place and stay in the same hotel and the same room where we stayed before. His family will go and celebrate with us there so we decided to have my family there too. But since the hotel is so expensive and we can't afford to pay 8 rooms, we're looking for another option. We will be staying there for two weeks so we decided to rent an apartment. We already tried that before and we really satisfied. We found a very affordable and great deal at vacation home rentals. They have great, furnish room in a very affordable price. So perfect for a family vacation.
