If only I could fly

Sometimes, when I feel bored or when I’m in bed [thinking of so many things] or when I see other’s pictures, I want to just go and jump on a plane to be somewhere else, especially Europe. I certainly wish there are Christmas sales when it comes to travel. [But as we all know, Christmas is one of the most expensive times of the year to travel.]

I just want to experience that rush again when you’re in a different place, basking in its beauty and splendor.

Paging Santa! You know what I want for Christmas!

Random thoughts: Wednesday

Oh my, can you believe it’s the last day of November and the first day of December tomorrow? I can’t. Grabe, time flies sooo fast! I hope that sometimes, it would slow down.

Anyway, here are my random thoughts today:

• I wanna try shopping during Black Friday. I know the cashiers and barcode scanners are veryyyyy busy at this time, but I wanna feel what it’s like to be with the mob, shopping!
• Wendy and I bought her Christmas outfit…and she insisted on buying boots. Yes, in this hot Manila weather.
• Just as fast as I got into Longchamp bags (and bought so many), my interest waned as fast. I saw a so many of women using it (insert “duh” here).
• The traffic is becoming worse by the day. Is everyone out?
  
• I dream of the day I’ll experience a White Christmas.

Here’s to a happy holiday season for all of us!

Christmas spirit

It’s 25 days to Christmas. Can you believe it?

And in line with the holiday season, I just realized a few things lately…

• It was a good decision to start the Christmas gift shopping early (as early as March actually). It’s a good thing for the pocket and a good thing for the pacing of wrapping the gifts.
• I am so excited for the blogger exchange gift. Thank God my partner’s items are simple enough…nothing fancy as Scott Kay!
• How come the weather isn’t what it should be at this time of the year? I wanna feel the Christmas weather!
• As we get older, Christmas isn’t about the gifts anymore. Christmas is still the best time of the year for me…but my favorite part is not the gifts anymore…it’s about the “feeling”!
• Oh, I’m just so excited for Christmas!

The great manipulator

Wendy and I had this conversation last night:

Wendy: Mama, I want to put up a cupcakery.

KG: GO!

Wendy: Do you need a college degree to put up a business?

KG: [telling the truth of course] Not really.

Wendy: So I don’t have to go to college? [evil grin]

KG: Yes you do!

Wendy: But if all I want is to put up a cupcakery, then I don’t have to go to college! You said so yourself!!!

KG: Yes you do. End of discussion!!!

Wendy: AAAArrgghhhh!!!!

Haayyy…I sometimes wish she would just ask me how to make eyelashes longer! That would be easier to answer!

Cupcake alert!

Wendy recently bought this book, and she has been on the baking mode again.

The book is really good and will really make you want to bake…it makes ME want to bake again!

 Wendy is now on cupcake alert and is now planning on putting up her own “cupcakery.” She has already thought of the name of her shop, has drawn her logo, has designed her boxes and her staff’s uniform, and has even already laid up floor plans! That’s planning for you!

So now, we’re off to buy ingredients and stuff for Wendy’s cupcake project. Her goal is to give away cupcakes this Christmas. It’s going to be very expensive, I know. Ingredients and tools don’t come in cheap nowadays. But then, isn’t it our job as parents to encourage our children with their hobbies? Some ask for cameras, or riding boots, or writing equipment. Whatever they may be, we have to try our best to accommodate these needs, just so we can encourage our children and tell them, “Whatever you want to achieve, you can.” So if Wendy wants to put up her own cupcakery, so be it!
