Thoughts from Within...
shoe shopping saturday
Shoe shopping is the agenda for today. That is, for me! So, we went to DSW since I have been wishing to get me a pair of black pumps. When we got there, I immediately headed to the said store while hubby and my little girl went straight to Best Buy which is just beside DSW. I just can't get enough of this shoe store. I could browse and go on and on for hours - checking and trying different shoes in different styles and colors. And to think that I was in the same store last weekend and got me two pairs of sandals. Shhhhh, I know it was so wicked of me.
When I found the perfect pumps for me, I can't help but check out other shoes. It was truly a big achievement for me to come out of that store with one pair only, hehehe. However when I seen hubby on his way in to DSW, I persuaded him to check out the store's work shoes for him. I told him that he can no longer put it (buying work shoes) on hold for he really needs a new pair since what he has now are all worn out and has a funny shape into them. So, I was happy that he finally got himself new ones; and on a good deal, too. How cool is that!
But of course, the little girl won't be left out so we went to Sketcher's and got her a pair of shoes with lights on them. She was so funny because as soon as she tried them on and saw the blinking lights, she didn't let go of them. Too funny. It's a good thing, too that Sketcher's had a sale going on. I had my eye on a pair of gray boots for me but unfortunately they don't have my size. What a bummer! But all in all, we were so happy with our purchases. Whoaaahhhh, I hope that will be it for shoes for a longer time. You think?
my friend is all set for a grand vacation!
I got a call from my friend yesterday telling me that she had finally unlocked phone - the phone that she is going to use on her vacation in the Philippines. Oh wow, she is definitely ready for her grand vacation, as I told her! I am truly happy for her that finally she is able to have this vacation since this is her first time to visit our native land after 6 years. Imagine that! And what a vacation plan she's going to have! She said that she will also visit two of the most wonderful beaches in the Philippines - Panglao Island, Bohol and Boracay. Wow, I can't help but feel jealous. Seriously, I am so happy for her. She really worked hard for this thing and I hope and pray that she will have a wonderful time. Godspeed, Joy!
cheers to life at 38!
On my actual special day which was last Tuesday, we went out to
for a special dinner. Guys, you should try that place. It's truly awesome! Food, ambiance and service are superb! We had the what we call, Chef's Special and boy, we were offered with lots of delicious and mouth watering food as you can see in the pic -
Cheers to LIFE at 38! As you can see, I had Margarita for a drink and this time, I love it! It is just the perfect blend for me. I had Margarita during our anniversary dinner in another restaurant and I don't like the taste of it. But Maggiano's Margarita is yummy, very fruity and less alcohol.
All in all, I was a happy birthday girl on my special day. And I can't help but to thank the Lord for another year-round of love and blessings; and for everything.

on my friend's relocation to Europe
I really feel sad because my only friend here in San Antonio is going to move to Europe soon. Her husband has a very good job opportunity there so off they'll go in a few weeks. Wow, it is really going to be a long move. Imagine getting a house, vehicles and setting up everything there like mortgages, homeowner's insurance, not to mention auto insurance and all. Sheesh, that's a lot of work.
Of course, no need to worry since there are a lot of companies like EquiLeads who will be happy to assist and give business leads to anybody regarding this kind of endeavor. It is like making the relocation easier and not so much stresses. I am truly going to miss my friend. I really like her because she also comes from the same town as I am. Amazing, right? However, she said that they will be back here for she and her husband really plan on settling here in San Antonio for good. I truly hope that things will go well with them in Germany.

Yay, got a new desktop computer!
We went to Best Buy yesterday and wow, there was a huge crowd there! It turned out that they have sale going on on most of their items. Hubby and I were like: "Oh my!" So, we checked out desk top computers for we really need a new one in our bedroom. The Gateway desktop that we have is really old and getting worst by the day. It was really a good working desktop, imagine it worked for us for eight years! Amazing, right?
That yesterday at Best Buy, we were checking out Gateway desktop computers. We found one which is best for hubby's gaming and schooling in the net on a very good deal. He said that its huge memory is really ideal for his games and online school. The CPU costs more than $600.00 and the 23' monitor is $229.99. To make the story short, we ended up buying the said Gateway desktop computer yesterday and paid close to $1,000 which includes a recovery disk. Whooaaahhh! Well, my hubby truly needs this new desktop; and he has been saving for this. I just hope that this new computer will be also as good as the one that we had. Have a good one all!
just can't wait for our own house here San Antonio
I just can't wait to have our own house here in San Antonio. As you know that we are just renting here since our house in Colorado hasn't been sold yet. You just don't know how I have been praying for that house to be sold, so we can buy our own home here in Texas. Of course, there are a lot of things to consider when buying a house like insurance. That's why it is a must that you have to evaluate all home insurance quotes out in the market today, so you can get one which will suit best on your home needs.
Well, that is just one thing to consider when buying a home. Hubby and I have been hoping that we can really get our own house here for we have finally decided that we will settle here. Hopefully soon, in God's perfect time. Have a good one all!

all set for barbecue party!
It's a very hectic Friday for us today especially for me. We are planning to have barbecue party with my sister-in-law and her family, and my friend, Arlyn and her family tomorrow. I have been so occupied with of course, food preparation not to mention tidying the house. Well, not that it's not tidy (hehehe), but just making sure that everything will be perfect tomorrow. It's only a small gathering so it's all going to be okay.
After our dinner at Zorro's Buffet, we dropped by the Wally World to get some of the stuffs that we need for tomorrow. So, I should say that we are ready for tomorrow. I am making my macaroni salad as of the moment so I won't run out of time tomorrow. Whew! Well, I wish you all a wonderful weekend. Take care all and enjoy!
Everybody is healthy!
I am so happy with relief right now upon knowing that my niece who was admitted in the hospital last week is really feeling well now. In fact, she is home right now recuperating. I am still unsure though if she's already back to school. It is really frustrating and scary when one family member is sick. How much more if one in the family has mesothelioma? Good grief! I just don't know if I can handle it. But thanks to God, everybody in the family is healthy and happy. I just pray that this will continue to do so. Have a good one all!
on souper salad
We found an eating place for our lunch today and it is called Souper Salad. It is right along 410 here in San Antonio and I find it best especially if you just want light food. It's commendable to those who are watching their diets. Of course, they have a selection of soups and a variety of salad with all the different kind of dressings and all. We truly like it and I know that we would frequent this place from now on especially that my little girl also loves it. I just can't wait to go back there.
finding admin jobs here in San Antonio
I am waiting for a phone call from my cousin. We have been exchanging emails that she is planning to move here in San Antonio from Hawaii. She has really been considering relocating for how many years now; and I am happy that she has finally reached the decision. My hubby said that it would be easier for her to find admin jobs ( her forte) here since economy of this city is really stable; and she has good working experience in Hawaii. Well, I really wish her the best and I can't wait to see her here in San Antonio soon.
