Traffic is always horrible in this side of the planet. This is probably because the shoppers are out in full force. It could be that driver and pedestrians have little or no discipline on the road.

I wonder if these accidents record make it hard for these drivers to get a 5th wheel insurance.

A stalled vehicle on the road means a lot of people in vehicles following will get in trouble for getting in late.

I can’t accept that traffic is already a way of life in the urban centers in this country.

I miss “our” big road where only a handful of us are on the road at any given time. Now we have ginormous trucks weaving in and out of the lanes and most of these are just passing through from the expressway.

Last Saturday night, the kids and I braved the traffic (good thing it was not that horrendous) to go to TriNoma’s green light sale. Hubby had office that day and he I think purposely parked there so he can easily convince us to go.

We got the younger kids new pairs of rubber shoes for PE. We were supposed to get them “weekend” shoes but got disappointed because the velcro part of one pair was dirty.

The eldest child got a new school bag/backpack because she said the backpack we got her felt big. Turned out the backpack she got was the same size, errr…

When we were there, we had to hold hands to avoid any untoward incident. There was a time I could not see my teen I panicked a bit and called her immediately. We heard emergency calls a few times:

“Paging the companion of a lost boy/girl wearing ____ named ______ please proceed to customer service”

We weren’t able to see more shops because our youngest wasn’t feeling well. One thing for sure, one of the shops that sell funky clothes with tattoo clothing had a crowd inside.

I was reading about HCG weight loss Austin when I checked tweets and clicked about Texas drought.

I was amazed.

Imagine seeing graves, historical artifacts like ancient tools and a prehistoric skull among other things. This town in Bluffon had a lake that revealed concrete foundations of a two-story hotel, scales of an old cotton gin, a rusting tank and burial sites.

I hope those whose livelihood were affected would be able to get back on their feet.

Note to self: try to see whether we can visit that site that got underwater after a volcanic eruption and lahar flooding in our home province.

If you have plastic water bottles lying around gathering dust, what do you do with these?

Me? I usually give these to Manang, for her to earn a little to help her finances. These plastic beverage bottles along with cereal boxes, egg cartons, plastic bags, and tin cans (just a few tin cans though) I put aside to recycle and give to her, most of the time cleaned already.

This is a good example of what we can do with plastic water bottles:

Nice concept for lighting effects! 🙂

Their prom is a few months to go and we need to raise funds to be able to pay for our share. By their I mean my eldest child and her classmates. Yes, she is having her prom next year and being in the Juniors class mean they will shoulder all the expenses. *shudders in horror*

So far we’ve, I mean I’ve sold tickets that will help start to fund the fund. We have another batch of tickets to dispose but seeing how everyone seems to be busy spending their money elsewhere, this is going to be a hard sell and the daughter needs to go to other persons who will buy the tickets since I’ve almost saturated “my market”.

Good thing we already have a dress, a borrowed one of her own color (they chose which gown color they will use to avoid duplication). This didn’t stop me from peeking at online sites like www.tjformal for prom dresses for ideas though.

I hope we would be able to raise funds for the prom’s fee because we still have hair and makeup expenses to think about.

Sigh…

Have you been getting ready for the coming Christmas season?

One of the things that are important for some people is the way they look when the holidays are here. I’m sure a lot of those online discount vouchers are doing brisk business in time for the holidays.

Some of the bestsellers are the following:

• resort getaways for the coming summer and after-the-holidays no work days
• “beauty” coupons like the best eyelash enhancers, whitening, tightening, facial skin care and waxing procedures as well as dental procedures
• gadgets
• food/restaurant vouchers

These would be great gifts for your loved ones too! Just don’t give your overweight aunt those lipo-thing vouchers or she might feel insulted.
