I still have few tasks to finish before the new year hits like finalize and sign contract for the new whole life insurance we got for me and the husband. We did upgraded our life insurances as we feel that it is necessary. Also, need to clean up the mess in my home office so I would welcome 2010 tidy and organized. Aside from that, I need to quickly hit the salon for some manicure, footspa and pedicure! I badly need one. Have to look fabulous in welcoming the new year!

Goodbye 2009!
It's the countdown to new year already! It has been a great 2009! And we look forward to a better 2010. I wish everyone good health, more success for the coming year and that all those who are in job search would be able to find the perfect work for them. 2010 looks promising actually. I hope more opportunities would come our way!

Urgent!!
Arg! It is bad timing that our refrigerator water filter failed today!!! We need to have this fixed in time for the new year's eve celebration. Now, I wonder as to where we could find a technician to fix this. I am crossing my fingers that the service center is still open today. Good thing, we are living nearby my brother's house so atleast we have a back-up to store all our food in case this won't be fixed.

Free Moving Announcements
I'm sure my friend would love to hear about the FREE Moving Announcements available right now at http://www.cardspersonalized.com/. You see, its a perfect timing since they would be back to the city come early next year. We are excited for their return. I'm actually helping out my friend to even choose her moving announcement. I told my friend that aside from free invitation cards available, she can also avail of some free shipping from CardsPersonalized.
It's truly a good deal. I am particularly choosing the wordings as well for her housewarming invitation. I told her my friend that we can get her cards in no time since we can get it right away after we have approved the proof. They have a policy of printing and shipping the approved design within the same day anyway. I know because I also ordered from them before our open house invitations.

Super delayed Halloween Invitations...
I can't believe that what we got in the mail today! It's a super delayed Halloween Invitations which was sent by a friend. I wonder what happened to this halloween party invitations that it actually got lost in transit. I phoned my friend who sent the invitations about it and apologized for not being able to come since we didn't receive the invitations in time.
I told her to rather order next time from Invitations-Shoppe. It would be better to get those printable Halloween invitations from their site at http://www.invitations-shoppe.com/. I informed my friend that she won't have an issue with delays since they can send the proof right away after she have chosen the card she wants. They can also print and ship her orders right away. If lucky enough, some free halloween invitations can be availed as well. I think my friend would know better next time.

Cleaning House 2009
CLEANING HOUSE 2009
Last Week I threw out worrying, it was getting old and in the way.
It kept me from being me; I couldn't do things God's way.
I threw out a book on MY PAST
(Didn't have time to read it anyway).
Replaced it with NEW GOALS, started reading it today.
I threw out hate and bad memories,
(Remember how I treasured them so)?
Got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY too, threw out the one from long ago.
Brought in some new books too, called I CAN, I WILL, and I MUST.
Threw out I might, I think and I ought.
WOW, you should've seen the dust.
I ran across an OLD FRIEND, I hadn't talked to in a while.
His name is GOD the Father, and I really like His style.
He helped me to do some cleaning and added some things Himself.
Like PRAYER, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE,
Yes... I placed them right on the shelf..
I picked up this special thing and placed it at the front door.
I FOUND IT- it's called PEACE.. Nothing gets me down anymore.
Yes, I've got my house looking nice.
Looks good around the place.
For things like Worry and Trouble there just isn't any space.
It's good to do a little house cleaning,
Get rid of the things on the shelf.
It sure makes things brighter; maybe you should TRY IT YOURSELF.
BE BLESSED AND BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE ELSE!!!!
May the Lord open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that
You will not have room enough to receive it all.
May the Lord bless you exceedingly abundantly above all you could ever
Hope for.
Keep the Faith!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR to ONE and ALL!

In need of Kindergarten Graduation Invitations...
Next next year, I would be in need of Kindergarten Graduation Invitations. My daughter would already graduate from Kindergarten and I am one excited mom! In fact, I know exactly what I want already. I would get it from http://www.graduationcardsshop.com/. Unique and exclusive designs of kindergarten graduation announcements are available only at GraduationCardsShop.
I plan to include her picture as well in the card I would choose. I have prepared already the wordings I would even use. I can change the colors and the designs of the preschool graduation invitations I have in mind. In fact, I would really throw a party for families and friends so an appropriate kindergarten graduation party invitations would be appropriate. You see, I am really excited for every achievement of my children so I would want to give them just the best of everything.

What's my color this christmas?
You Are Red |

You don’t fear or expect failure. You are a very lucky person. You are destined to be prosperous – if you aren’t already. |

So happy...
for the christmas gift I got from a supplier. Gift Certificates would always be a best gift so you can just choose whatever item you may like. As for me, I'm doubly happy for the amount of the gift certificates I got. Now, I have reason to even order a nice gift for the husband. I am even thinking to order online a fitness equipment. I can use the GC and even just enter the nordic track promotion code that my friend gave me. I wonder if the husband would really like to a fitness equipment. Although I am ordering it just now, so it would be a late christmas gift! :-(

Time for College Graduation Announcements...
It's never too early to order your College Graduation Announcements for a family member who is entering a new milestone in his/her life. I love receiving University Graduation Announcements that are heartwarming. I saw nice pieces of these college graduation invitations from the site, http://www.graduationcardsshop.com/.
GraduationCardsShop do provide all kinds of cards whether just for announcements or for college graduation party invitations. You can decide to add a photo or logo eventually to any card you may have chosen. You can even change the colors, the font, the design. Should you not find anything from their portfolio, which I doubt, you can even ask them of what you like and they would make a design according to your preference. Bookmark their site as you may have a need for it next year :P

Talking about travels again...
After Guam, after enjoying the beach and the sun, I want to go for another trip to the beach. So I can't help but check on either Hawaii hotels or miami hotels. I am also hoping the husband would agree that we would go on a cruise for 2010. I wonder if we could ever leave the kids this time. I think it was easier to go on a trip without them when they were still very little and clueless that we have left them. Now, it definitely matters to them if we would be gone for few days (just the husband and me).

2 of 6...
Tonight would be the 2nd party in the house. I had to run some errands plus need to have our bar faucets checked. I noticed some leakage in the kid's bathroom. Glad the husband finally decided to just get a caterer for his party. Yes, it's his party for his team in the office. I bet it would finish at wee hours of the night/morning already as they even rented out a videoke machine, lol!. And hope that the neighbors won't mind :P

Baptism Invitation Cards
My friend is already preparing for the baptism of their only son. She is already looking at Baptism Invitations Cards design. She showed me the one on the left out of the many christening invitations she was choosing from http://www.announcements-shoppe.com/.
A number of invitations baptism are available from the site where she could even add a photo or image to any card she may have chosen. She is also looking at the option to make the baptism card a Religious invitations, but told her to choose a more fancier design. The one she chose on the side is actually a good one. Ordering is easy with Announcements-Shoppe. Proof is emailed right away after an hour within a business day. And if it is rush, they can even print and ship the ordes on the same day after approving the proofs. She was glad I recommended the site to her, less headache from the many other things she plans to do for the baptism party.

1 of 6...
Tomorrow would be the first party in the house out of the six we are going to have. So i have asked the maids to do general cleaning today. Told them to specifically scrub the tiles, mawn the lawn and clean the window glasses. It would be a party with my suppliers's friends from the industry. And I look forward for the food from my favorite catering of course. I'm sure it would a fun party as we also even like to have videoke session in the evening. More parties to come...

Vacation Galore...
Our family just had a great time in Guam. I am proud that my kids are well behaved the entire plane ride. Really looks like we are ready for longer haul trips. I just can't wait. If we have all the money, travelling the whole world is my ultimate dream. I would want to plan and travel from one country to another. There are still a number of places on my list. And I really hope to visit all in my lifetime. Next year, we are planning for another major trip. My in-laws are already asking as to when would we schedule the trip. They have been preparing our itineraries already. Much as I would want to also try orlando vacations, but it looks like we can't squeeze that in. I also wonder if I could still pass by the east so we could go visit New York. The husband is actually discouraging me to have an earlier trip than him. He's not keen on the idea especially if I'll have the girls in tow. I'm excited to plan again for another vacation!
