Yep, it's the latest installment of the highly-acclaimed [in our household...LOL] movie: C-H-I-P-M-U-N-K-S. Is it Oscar-worthy? Not really but it's definitely 'little-one- worthy so we just had to see it...and probably get the DVD as well when it comes out. We didn't tell her that we were going to see it. We just asked her to get ready because we were going somewhere. She doesn't usually ask questions where we're going so there was no danger of letting the cat out of the bag, so to speak. When we got to the movie theater, she asked what we were doing there. I think I told her that we were there to see another movie...can't remember which one anymore. It was only when she saw the big movie poster of the Chipmunks movie that she finally figured out why we were there. I just loved her smile when she realized we're going to see the Chipmunk movie. When we entered the cinema, it felt like we actually rented the whole place because there were very few peop

While visiting my family early last year, my younger brother asked me if he could talk to me about something real important. My brother is rather shy and there is no chance he would say that unless it's really important to him. So what could be so important he had to talk to me in private? He said that he wants to start a small business of his own. He lost his job a few years ago. He was really affected when that happened but there was not much he could do so he just accepted it and looked for another one. It wasn't easy because of his age. He was able to find one eventually but wasn't really happy with it so he left it after only a few months. He's been in and out of jobs since then so he decided to do a little research on a good business venture. After a few months of research, he finally decided on what business he wants to venture into. His only problem is his lack of capital so that's the part where I come in. He explained everything to me and I thought it'

Nope, I'm not one of them. I wish...:) I'm just not that lucky when it comes to the lottery but I'm fine with it. If I win though, I really don't have any idea how I'm going to deal with it to be honest. But if there's one thing I'm certain I won't do if get lucky like those people that won the billion dollar plus pot last weekend is: I won't be going on national television announcing it. I just caught a glimpse of them in one of the morning TV shows and I really don't know their reason for doing so but I definitely won't do that. I just don't see the logic of it. But that's a matter of personal preference so to each his own, right? I guess it makes them happy to be on TV after such windfall. So many people, yes including us, got in the lottery boat for the 'billion dollar plus' drawing. That's the reason why it got that high. For us personally, we don't normally buy lottery tickets. We just get on it when the pot ge

After more than 30 years, hubby and his cousins finally saw each other again a few weeks ago. They were just kids when they last saw each other but hubby said that he would still recognize them anytime. One of the reasons his aunt wanted to get together is because of their interest in tracing their family tree. Actually, it's her daughter [hubby's cousin] who is really into it. She even joined a site just to get deep into the family's roots. She said it's very interesting to dig through the family's roots as it's very different to what she's been told. She already went so far back but she said that there's still a lot of things to look into and she has no plans of stopping right now. Anyway, her brother was not into it as much as she is so he and I just talked while his Mom and sister and hubby browsed their family tree online. Interestingly his wife is also an Asian. He really wanted us to meet but she didn't want to miss work because she only g

It looks like winter is finally here. The man of the house finally gave in and turned the heat on a couple of days ago. The cold weather was very sporadic in the past few months that it's not worth it to turn it on. This week is probably the first time that the temperature stayed in the 60s in the house so the heat had to be turned on. Tomorrow is going to be a bit warm though...but temps will dip again over the weekend so it's a short break. I believe we're going to have this kind of temps for now so our heater will be on call until further notice . We're almost midway the first month of this year. Our weekends had been pretty quiet, meaning, lazy, except for the first Saturday of this year. We went to meet some relatives north of us. It's hubby's only aunt on his Dad's side. We got to see her and meet her 2 children. It's nice to actually see relatives for the first time like that. His aunt was very happy to see the husband again...after months of pl

Everytime there is an occasion, the little one is always asking me what gift I want. The same goes for the husband. I give them the same answer everytime. I don't want anything. I really don't. If there is something I want, I just get it myself. They got the message already because they didn't ask me anymore during the holiday season. But there's another occasion coming up and I have a feeling I will get asked what I want on that day because she always gets or makes me something on that day. This time I might tell her to get me a Monogram Ring for a change. If she doesn't ask, I'd probably tell her. Ha! Seriously though I've always wanted a Monogram Ring. I don't know why I never bought one for myself but I remember looking at some when I was younger. There was even a time I wanted to get my father one because he liked wearing jewelry like rings. I believe I asked him if he wanted one but he said no. As for me, I really have no idea why I didn't g

That should be the title of my blog now. That's only because I have drafts after drafts in here now. I really need to go through all of them and see which ones are worth keeping and publishing [maybe?]. I have a feeling not a lot...will make the cut. First things first...it's cold! Not as cold as those up north but still cold especially for someone like me who does not like the cold. The husband is a totally different story. He THRIVES in temperatures like the one we have now. He's actually in shorts when he left for work early this morning. I'm sure he's skinny legs are not very happy right now. Hmp! Anyway a lot of things happened in 2015. We traveled more than usual, actually WAY more than usual. We don't travel much so even just one travel is already more than usual to us. We had 2 overseas and a couple in other states. It was fun even if it was tiring, especially the overseas one because I got to see family after about 3 years and friends after more tha
