Crushed Pink

My husband said we bought to much gadget this year that next year we will take a break from buying gadgets. I couldn’t agree more that’s why for Christmas I didn’t look at the mens gadgets section. Instead I bought something that he’ll use frequently and give him comfort – none other than a soft and fluffy pillow. LOL!

Anyway, it was hard to buy someone a gift when you’re with him all the time! When we finally went our separate ways at the mall I had a chance to buy my gift real quick. Eventually, we had to meet up again and I had a hard time hiding my gift! haha In the end he saw it but I still wrapped it and put it under the tree. My son ruined his surprise and told me they brought a gift for me too while I was away. So no surprises for the two of us on Chrismas day but we’re still happy. You see, this is the first time we exchanged gifts as husband and wife.

When my youngest was born and my helper started going back to school again, I hired another helper to help around the house. She is also a relative of our first helper but much older. I like that she knows how to work around the house especially when it comes to cooking food. She also takes care of our baby when I have too much work to do. Too bad she will be leaving by February to attend her daughter’s wedding. I’m still not sure if I will hire another one when she leaves. I want to save money but at the same time doing all the chores around the house is really tiring! I got to discuss this more with my husband and ask what he thinks.

Whenever we go to the mall we never miss the chance to have our favorite ice cream – Mc Donald’s Sundae cone vanilla ice cream. It is the best ice cream ever! Even better than their flavored ones. It’s so affordable too, only P10 for a small cone.

My son has gotten the sundae cone bug from me and the last time we went to the mall we ordered twice. Here is my son ordering from the cashier. I explained fast food chains don’t need a barcode scanner unlike in groceries because the latter need to scan their items first.

Although we don’t need it that much now that we’re both working at home, I still want to buy cell phones for both of us this Christmas. Phones are not only for calling and texting but it’s also multipurpose. It can help us get connected through our social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter when we’re too busy to turn on our laptop. It can also record special moments in our daily lives when our cameras are out of reach. Our cellphones are so small and so handy that most of the time we opt to use it instead of our other digital devices. Good thing phones have become so cheap that we don’t have to break the bank anymore to buy a good quality phone. I want the Samsung Galaxy Y that I’ve been hearing about and my hubby wants a Blackberry Curve. Hope we can buy this for Christmas.
