The 'Carousel'

a.k.a. 'the surprise Christmas gift'

Hubby and I already have our Christmas gift for each other...'ya know...the 'elliptical machine' we got a few weeks before Christmas. Yeah...that one. We have yet to put it in 'full use' but we'll get there...eventually.

Anyway, the little one wanted to give us her 'own gift' so she secretly told us [seperately] of her plan. The good parents that we are [achoo!], we pretended we didn't know anything about it. But the husband didn't want to 'shop aimlessly' [as he called it] so he asked me what I wanted. Hmm...so much for secrecy, eh? I told him I'll clue him in when we're out 'looking' for the gift once I see something I like. We were out of time so we had to do everything on the same day we went to the mall. Luckily I saw this 'carousel' in no time and 'clued' the husband in. He and little one bought it while I walked 'aimlessly' around the 'Bath & Body Works' store nearby. LOL... Anyway, for her 'surprise gift' for Dad...it was easier for me to look for it since I do most of the 'looking' online. What did we get him? A wallet, of course! I know it's nothing mind-boggling but I thought it's something that Daddy needed since the one he's using is the one we gave him last Christmas. LOL...Now you know what he's getting NEXT year. Ha!

The carousel is now placed in our still almost 'empty' curio. That's the reason why I chose it...for the curio. It's our big project this year...to fill it up with whatever tickles our fancy...and fits our budget of course. I still have a few glass figurines coming in the mail in about a week so it won't be as empty anymore. We have a long way to go as far as filling it up but it's slowly getting there. Hopefully it won't take 'that' long to do it. At least now if won't be hard to think of gifts for birthday, anniversary, valentine, and other special occasions, eh? For at least a year anyway....

what a cutie carousel! e di na-surprise ka getting the gift you want?! ha ha... at masaya pa si E sa bigay nya sa 'yo! that's what matters, di ba?. yung gift mo kay M, ang hirap talaga isipin eh. he he.. ako din, wallet at wallet pa rin ang naiibibgay. konti lang nman kasi pang-gift sa kanila.

Ready na ba ang pang Media-Noche? Dito hindi pa rin. Still thinking of what to cook.
Enjoy the season and have a relaxing day with M and E!

You Belong With Me...Little One's Version

-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the little one singing with the new Taylor Swift song called: You Belong with Me ... acapella She's a big TS fan right now so that's all I'm hearing around the house lately. The little one's video is far from perfect but I'm a proud Mama. She recorded this all on her own so pardon the little 'booboos/mistakes' she made while recording/singing. Enjoy! If you're not familiar with the song, here's the link to the official video .

Paid Blogging....

 ...is that still even a thing today? I stopped blogging actively several years ago...so now I'm like starting all over again.  I don't even know what to post anymore. A lot has changed since I started this blog in 2008. Yep, that's how long ago it's been. Back then I just wanted to write whatever. I was already a WAHM - Work at Home Mom when I started this blog and that's how my blog title came about. I started doing work-at-home jobs as early as 2002. I had a handful of different jobs I was juggling at that time so blogging was just really something I did during my free time. After a while I did paid blogging. I did that for a few years. I tried to do it as much as I could but my 'real' jobs had to be my priority so my blogging had to take a back seat. In retrospect, that may be the reason why I slowly lost interest in doing it. I tried going back to it every now and then, but the 'mojo' is just not there so I stopped altogether but opted to keep m
