Show and Tell

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Sophia is doing the Show and Tell in school today. The teacher made her take home the Showtime Bag last Monday so you see, we have been preparing for a short presentation since yesterday. The little girls is asked to talk about her favorite things and put them in the show and tell bag to show her classmates and friends. She of course chose her Nemo Stuffed Toy (her current fave because of her Nemo fish inside her aquarium) and her all time favorite - baby pig. We prepared a speech which she mostly made up herself which makes me so proud. :) I tried to edit some things she wanted to say but she won’t let me. HAHA.

So today was another first for her. First to make apresentation! Can you believe? At nursery ha! I went to school with her today needless to say so we cans till practice her speech while inside the car. I don’t know though if its by mere luck or what, it was so traffic! Apparently, there were two trucks that met an accident. Good thing we left early today as per daddy’s advice.  Anyway, I bet a truck accident lawyer is on the way as one of the trucks bumped on some residential houses beside the highway.  I wonder if there were people inside.

I found these ultra cool personalized bangles over the net and I am thinking of having one made for myself. What do you think?

Ordering is fast and easy as I just need to send the maker a message but the hard part is choosing which pics to use. You see, I have over a thousand of pictures to choose from as I love taking photos of me and my little family. In fact, I have a couple of micro sd memory for my camera and still plans to buy one more to accommodate all my photos.

It’s here!

My fave online bookstore.

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

I love shopping for books online. Be it for me, my husband or our little princess, I get Amazon books all the time as not only do I get them at big discounts, I also save time and effort to go to the nearest bookstore to pick up new books. With the rising prices of gas today, such short trip means a lot of savings already.  Lately, I have been getting a lot of self help books too and I give them out as gifts to aunties and uncles who are celebrating their birthdays.  I have ordered a lot of Dr Seuss books for the little girl too as she loves reading these books.  I hope her love for reading will continue until she grows older unlike me and her dad who just rekindled our love for reading a few years ago.

camera that goes wherever and whenever I go is a Canon camera.

This Digital Ixus 60 camera has been with me for three years now and has traveled to Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Guam and Australia with me and my family. I know SLRs are the trend nowadays but being quite bulky, I don’t think I can lug one around in my always full bag all the time. I am pretty much satisfied with my very compact camera’s performance so I am sticking with it for a while more. But who knows maybe one day I’ll be willing to bring one of those SLRs with me. I just don’t think its in the near future though. :D

Shopping!

Friday, August 8th, 2008

I was in my favorite shopping city for four days which is why I have no updates here for a while. I didn’t bring my laptop with me as I hate bringing extra luggage. You see, I need all the extra space I can get for my shopping loot. :D Its not easy traveling with a little girl in tow and shopping is extra challenging too. But I still managed to anyway with a little help from the husband. Will post my loot soon!
