Diamond Necklace for the Taking....

-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Through the years, I’ve accumulated a few pieces of jewelry that I bought myself. I gave away some of them but I also kept some that I’m planning to give our little one when she’s old enough. My mother didn’t have jewelry except for her watch and her wedding ring. I have no idea where her watch is now but I have her wedding ring. It’s not an expensive piece of jewelry because it’s only a simple gold band with a semi-precious stone. But with all the pieces of jewelry I have, that ring is the most precious for me. When I went overseas for the first to teach, that ring served as my security blanket because it made me feel safe and close to home simply because it’s my mother’s. During the first year I was away from home, the apartment I lived in was robbed while my roommate and I were in school. All of the pieces of jewelry I bought with my hard earned money got stolen. I think I lost 2 diamond sets of earrings and rings, necklaces and bracelets. Yes, those pieces were worth a lot of money [for me anyway] but I was sure glad that my mother’s wedding ring was spared because I was wearing it when that happened.

I don’t have a lot of knowledge when it comes to choosing jewelry but I know my husband does know quite a bit. He actually knows more about jewelry but I don’t want to bother him all the time when I want to buy a piece. So I try to do my research before I buy any jewelry. I am sure glad that I came across a website called Jewelry Information Center. It’s a place that offers great information about, yes, jewelry which includes helpful tips in cleaning and caring for them. Right now, anyone interested can share their own Jewelry Stories for a chance to win a diamond necklace. Maybe I should think about joining myself so I can get my hands on that precious diamond necklace they are giving away. What can be better than a free diamond necklace?

L-O-S-T. I guess that about sums up how I'm feeling right now...with blogging anyway. I don't even know how to start this post. 😕 It's been almost 2 years since I last posted. It's not that I have nothing to write about. I have plenty but I seem to have lost interest in blogging. I thought  at first that it was just a phase. I thought it would only last for a few days but days turned into weeks then months then years and I still haven't blogged. Nothing sparked my interest to blog so I just didn't. Not even paid posts lured me back. I even considered deleting it altogether. I felt like I'm wasting my money paying for the domain name. But I can't do it so I just keep on paying. I can't seem to let go of the domain 'Pinay Wahm' because I got it when not many Moms were able to make a living or earn in the comforts of home. I also have a lot of personal posts here that when I want to get details about something that happened in my life I can

Simple Life....

When we visited my family in 2012 we didn't actually spend as much time as I would have liked with most of them. That's because we planned a road trip which took most of our time. Since we were on the road majority of the stay, we weren't able to spend as much time in my childhood home. During our recent trip, that's exactly what we did. We spent a lot of time in my childhood home. We actually stayed home too much that we got bored after a while. But it was somehow an 'eye opener' for me as well as my significant other. On his part, he was finally able to experience 'real summer' back there. Both trips happened in April. But since we were in an air-conditioned car most of the time during our 2012 trip, we didn't really feel how hot it was. This time around, the air-con was only in our room. As soon as we stepped outside, it's hot. As a result, the AC in our room stayed on the whole day because it served as a reprieve from the heat. Every time

Finally finished the project I started a couple of months ago...at least. Now I'm a happy [and a bit sore] camper. I finished putting the mulch this morning mainly because I don't want to give the weeds another chance to invade the flower beds again...at least for a few months anyway. I think I had to pull out weeds twice before to prepare them for the mulch. I thought hubby would have the chance to put it down but his work just wouldn't let him so I decided to do it myself a few weeks ago. So why did it take me weeks to finish 2 and a half flower beds? I was just taking my time I guess. There was no hurry so I took my time. Now that I'm done with that 'project' I'm off to continue another one that I started about 2 weeks ago...decluttering my home office. The weather here is as unpredictable as...the weather? Last week it was raining almost everyday as predicted by the meteorologists around here. The time the rain would fall was the unpredictable part tho
