Vacation has been discussed at home for many “I don’t want to recallsaken days”. Since we have decided to get a car this year, in fact I’m doing great of my driving lessons. Opting for summer holiday is bad idea, moneywise. And, there you go most of my friends are busy packing their bags and few already left the airport. I only feel the temptation but not the going on vacation thingy. How about hearing someone flying to Scotland? Are you kidding me, Scotland is like a picture frame for me. The place is painted all over my brain and perfectly brush like paradise.
It’s been one month now since I stopped my newspaper subscription. I should have done it ages ago. Another thing I’ve missed is grocery coupons. I could get it through the Internet though, I haven’t tried it yet because these days many grocery stores and even drugstores are having great deals, but having coupons could mean double dipping discounts. Coupons give me great savings on toiletries and sometimes restaurants.
Just two more school days left and I will be having a long summer break without going to school for my tot. Without realizing it, I have been walking 40 minutes a day from Monday through Friday since September. July you’re here and no more rushing at home for school preparations. Well, since we plan the staycation for the whole summer, I might as well prepare myself to boredom. I doubt it would never happen when the double terrible is also at home. Gee, my palm is itching. I hope I’m going to win the lottery for tonight’s play, what’s the use of my 3-4 leaf clover collections. There is nothing wrong of believing, I might hit the jackpot tonight. Ssshhh.
What do you usually see to the doors within an apartment building or Condos? I guess nothing but the suite numbers. Would you prefer to be recognized easily by hanging or sticking something simply peculiar? We commonly see door chime or if you’re like me. I loved to hang décor for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmases. Only then you could easily find where my room is and in most ordinary days, it has nothing on it but my suite number.
Many of us are happy to say Friday. It’s the end of the tedious workweek, it’s the most celebrated day to bar hopping, count me out for this. Here in Toronto, it’s a big day to brag and be heard. We are currently holding the G8 Summit followed by the G20 up until Sunday. There are lots more to see and know from economy and environment to poverty. I hope change is happening or we will get another multi-mega pregnant of promises. All I pray and hope that there will be no bloodshed, physical injuries or vandalism around downtown and everywhere in the world, because these are the usual scenarios for every summit.
Many are drooling and waiting to grab for their first iPad, and millions already enjoyed it. I do salivate for that phenomenal gadget sadly my Acer Aspire computer is just 2 years old. It’s bit powerful with too much memory and working just fine right now. One day, may be in the next 4 or 5 years I will definitely strum my own iPad or anything new by that time.
I have plans to visit my sister’s in the States, driving practice and send my son to one of the summer camps. Money wise, me and my son are stuck at home after the school ends and I have to proceed for my driving lessons. My tot could not attend the summer camp nearby because he is too young for their program. Great! We could roam around the city again like a tour guide to my terrible four. Watch out, Toronto Theme Parks, Museum, Zoo, Wild Safari and the Water Park. Here we come. Well, my hubby is always not included to our little escapade, he has to work otherwise we have no food and roof to stay. Poor us it is. Sometimes when he’s off work, we spent time outdoors most of that day. This would be a long summer staying at home without going to school. Unlike the past summers, were always on a vacation. This time it’s different.
Summer’s heat makes others wear daring clothes. No no no, they are not seducing the opposite gender, they just look over sexy and daring to me. I could say that they’re fashion are insanely daring, imagine wearing dresses inspired like corsets. Actually, it is more likely the corsets of today’s fashion that is to be worn outside but not the typical under garments. I could maybe wear one of the corsets to press my tummy flab flat and push my bosoms up. Huh! Saying it now sucked my breath away. Who is going to breath to the real corset?
Does love really fades? Yes, it is happening and I don’t know what to do next, I am financially poor, lived with my older kid that gives us shelter, I am bundled with emotionally and physically absent husband though he is around 24/7. My life now sparked only by my grandchildren and married children. I could leave this unworthy husband of mine but deeply shred leaving my loving children. Old is I am now, nowhere to go, no money to spare, do I have choice? My emotional attachment to my family is intact my only desperation now is how to start talking with my husband about his responsibility to me as his wife. He’s been different for quite some time now, he has more time for his spiritual obligations and to the people related to it and when at home, he fiddles to his computer than making at least lousy conversations with me. I could freely say that I lost the loved I have for him. All I have is tired of calling myself wife when I don’t see and feel that I exist. Could a married couple with children and grandchildren around stay together “till death do us part” without love? Is companionship enough reason to stay together?
I’m only an avid listener. My constant walking companion seems feel safe to spell her marriage agony to me. Me, just 2 years older than her eldest daughter, I lend her all my ears and sympathy. Who am I to unfold my advice but a friend who understands and make her laugh while outside her almost miserable reality life. I was told. She wish to run away for awhile but she don’t even have money to survive for a day. Opportunities play with her.
Why a bald fellow bragged about his miraculous growing hair? For whatever reasons he has in hands, its short lived and let him bumbled about it. Genes, genes and hereditary traits are the factors why his hair grow in a whisked of wand. cure for hair loss, bald with growing hair and hair transplants, it could be true and I bet not for lifetime. How about getting rid of wrinkles? Did they have it? Or, just go ahead with under the knife solution.
My eyes are puffy, my nose is running and my brain is freezing. I thought that my allergies and sneezing are blamed to changing weather. I was wrong, I’m totally allergic to dust, pollens and partly the changing weather conditions. Well, lucky that I got it than my two boys who seem to loved the weather here in Canada. The usual words a mother’s spell when their kids or partner get sick. Hot shower and its steam may help though for a little while and on again. I have medicine for it but I could not take them every day even I have the allergies. I’m scared to the point that I’m abusing the pill that knocks me out after few minutes taking it. Better be careful than get crazy in later times due to drug effects. Good Lord blesses me and my family and the rest of the world.
For some, losing weight may be the easiest thing to do than making money. Then, they are lucky because many are struggling to balance the healthy fit living and money. Personally, losing my weight has nothing to do with money because we eat the right foods for the family just enough our wallet can buy. In short, money is not an issue but we the weight worrier who never do nothing but keep on waiting for miracle to quick weight loss. Could we consider being sick and not eating is miracle enough to lose weight? Yeah, if you get lucky to live to enjoy the thinness of you. Funny eh!
I have been chirping about practice driving, well my driving instructor just called me to inform that he could not teach me to drive because his instructor license need to be renewed. Great! That pushes me to go ahead with my plans to go to my sister’s and learned to drive there. The amazing things are I’ve decided to go backpacker style travel with my son. We are traveling by bus to New Year, stay there for awhile then fly to Florida. It’s way cheaper, fun and adventurous. Good grace, I can’t wait for the class to end. America here we come again.
I know when my pimples will come out. It usually come sprouting right every after I used my facial cleanser, I may be allergic to the cleanser but I could not whisk them away, it’s too good for me. What I did to eliminate pimples I applied SPA water then moisturize. You can call it my acne serum to get away with the hideous acne stamp. Buy the good Spa water. I know it’s a little bit expensive but it’s worth buying because it also helps you hydrate your skin when outdoors.
Although I missed to buy my paint today, but I got lucky when I reach home. I remember, last week my friend had promised me a delicious Pakistani foods. A week later have past no food yet arrived but a warmed apology. Ha ha ha nobody will get cross for not having the meal on time, right? I did not even wait for it. I rather surprised myself for the coming grace. And guess what have happened just few minutes ago? You guess right, I got the sumptuous meal that will feed us for the whole night. My dinner cooking is saved. Another thing is I could tell my hubby that I cooked the meal. Such a liar, he would never believe me because he knows that I could not cook any of his country’s pride foods. He may not as well consider respecting my pity lies. For him, the word “impossible” is possible to spill.
What are your ways to burn extra lard? What I mean of lard is excess fat. I have lard but minimal or very little. I don’t need diet pill nor reading the noxycut reviews because I have my ways to reduce my excess baggage under my skin. One is I’m conscious to what I eat. Second is at least 40 minutes walking in weekdays to and from school. But food intake factors really contributed or the culprit of fattening and ruined the healthy body regimen.
Eleventh year since I left my first country for greener pasture. A decade of not eating home cook, though I cook here most of the time, I still miss the good food back home. Hamon is one of my fave. I have been trying to cook it here by myself but it always turns a loser compared to my mother’s secret style. Even it was dictates by my father. I thought that he knows the exact recipe to create the perfect taste of Mama’s hamon. I got tired of the strange taste of my Father’s hamon version. Last week, I asked my mother to give me the right formula for the best hamon she ever cooked. Instantly, I tried the recipe that runs for at least 4 hours to complete. Oh la la, I felt I’m at home. It was a perfect taste like I ate it before.
It’s my eleventh year to be exact that I’m staying to my size 3. I don’t know why many are crazy losing weight using tea or cactus concoction just to get rid of the excess fats. Many as well suffer the roller coaster of their weights accompanied with their fake determination to stay healthy. Stop asking for diet pill that really works, for me, them or you? Hahay, I’m ranting again about my niece. She herself is the real roller coaster. I know I get fat sometimes and I know how to make me fit again to my old clothes. Personally, I do not like to see myself in the mirror with bulging tummy and double chin. I am chubby already, adding more weight I will be fatter than what I look. What I mean is I hate myself being fat so I refuse to do things that make my day blue. As what I said, determination is the key. Without it, you is who you are.
In my country, the old days wedding from engagement arrangement and dresses to banquets are to be shouldered by the groom. All expenses I said. Oh yah, the husband to be must have enough money before proposing. Another thing is, the parents of the bride to be will demand. Of course, every issue will be based on the financial status of the family. If the bride to be is rich on her own right then definitely the groom to be is likely pressured to put up a grand wedding. Middle class or poor family could also have grand weddings and that depends. All those traditions seem died down with the economic cycles and so as the people perceptions to wedding expenditures. Now, it is more on sharing basis, equally or whoever have more will spend more. My wedding, ha ha ha it’s a secret wedding. We only spent for the documentations, lawyer, officiating officer and 2 witnesses. Almost nothing in value, the marriage was known about 2 years later. So, we owed a banquet that to be happened later as we have no budget for that.
It’s not only hot here in Toronto this time around, there’s also heat alert. My boy already busy scratching his boils and me dry skin that is itchy. My jaw got irritated, my small sole pimple turns black because I accidentally rub it. Fairies of all prettiness, I hope it will not turn to acne, it’s bumpy now. Bad thing is I don’t treat my acne because I get allergic reaction to most of the adult acne treatment medicines. The last time I applied, my face looks like having chicken pox and swelling.
Who is not? Not always but often I bought a lotto who knows, maybe I would hit the jackpot of my lifetime. Well, only if I have extra change from my weekly shopping, if there’s nothing left I stop to dream. Lately, I spend some for the heart and stroke lottery, I know it’s a way of donating and if ever I win, that would be dream come true. I would be hypocrite if I’m not expecting to win, just let me be at least I still dream to win. I should not expect big or something or else the odds of not winning at all have no meaning. I’m truly desperate of not having money to visit my parents, so I just whisk my luck. May be and maybe I could visit them one day after receiving my winnings. There is no use of knocking my head. I’m awake and looking forward to have some money in no time.
Last Friday, I got the chance to be in my tot’s classroom. I volunteered for piling stuff. There were tons of kindergartens paper works from journals and printings to math exercises. I saw wonderful drawings, pictures and works of the little minds. It was one of my magic days. Not all parents could see the works of the future. Oh yes, expect that I also sat on the school furniture that fits for the double terrible. It’s amazing how they sit on those chairs and in few years time they will be sitting to swivels tackling the loads of their careers. For now, they stay kid.
Wow June, summer and school break are coming, going on vacation may be considered or staycation. Money wise, dreaming is the best thing to do. I totally had forgotten that we need to buy car this year. Man, staycation it is. Our last year’s holiday by the sea was short and a bit of rush, I had to come back to Toronto for my school test. Such a bugger, it’s worth anyway because I got my certificate now. Hooray to that and sniff sniff, I’m still jobless. It’s my fault I stopped applying for job, I am worried what to do with my double terrible and his schooling. Though, I have one job offer but the compensation is enough only for daycare and transportation and couple of burgers. I find it not a worth job counting my efforts to rush things at home, daycare, work and home chores and I don’t know if I have enough time for my son’s homework. I’ve decided to wait for awhile until my tot will stay in school at least for 7 hours. He is now in junior kindergarten.
My friend’s Dad was been driving an old and very old car. Few days ago, he got tired of his ride and got rid of it by parking the old Joey just outside our apartment building. I had no idea why but actually he wants it towed, saving his way to the junk yard. It should not be like that right!? Well, he did it anyway. The 24 hour towing Jay was in the move and towed Uncle’s car. I know it’s not a free ride. They will definitely pay for it, like the traffic tickets do. How about you, how do you get rid of your car?
I just called my driving teacher. It seems that I could not extend my days in hiding. I mean, hiding the reality of learning to drive the car otherwise this coming winter will drive me crazy marching the thick snow going to my tot’s school back and forth. How I wish that we are living just in front of the school, though our car is for utility use particularly driving to school. I am totally fine to the public transit. My teacher has been waiting for my call for almost a year now since I got my permit to drive license. The hiding is over and driving must begun before the next harsh winter comes. If it’s not because of my health and my tot I will never get a car. This is more of an added utility expenses, comfort and health care. Well, I will not worry myself about these factors but the driving itself. I’m scarreeeeeeed.
It’s been five days now feeling the harsh fangs of the sun and humid, Monday as well time to wander around the mall after my tot’s class. We enjoyed the cool temperature inside the mall, strolling and had a little break on the bench munching soft tacos and french fries scrumptiously enjoyed by my son. The mall is packed by mall goers especially to those who want to escape the heat of the sun. From stroller pushers and portable oxygen concentrators carriers to bikers, we all have the same purpose I guess, to have fun under cool ambiance.
