Paris on my Mind

Traveling to Europe and spending a few days in the romantic city of Paris is a dream of mine. Had our travel plans this year pushed through, we would have been in the city of love right this very moment. But alas, it was not meant to be, not this year. Perhaps next year? We'll see, we'll see.

But who said I cannot have the Eiffel Tower here in Australia???




Wall decal from Ebay and Quilt cover set from Target. Hmmm, me thinks the guest room needs to be renamed the Paris room.

Come dream with me...

I Survived!

When hubby told me that he will be gone for 3 weeks for an out of town engagement, I was a bit scared because it meant being alone in the house for the first time! Sleeping over at my friends place in Chatswood was on option but the thought of bringing my clothes, toiletries and make up, not to mention missing my own bed is just too much for me. So I bravely faced the month of August, home alone.

The first Sunday was the hardest, I was too scared of being on my own in our new(ish) place. Every creaking sound of the house, every garage being opened, every car passing thru, every little noise from outside ---- all these seemed to be magnified 10x. I can hear everything!!!

Mondays are better, straight from work, I would watch the primetime news, prapare my dinner and lunch box, surf the Net and then watch Friends. I am so grateful that Daisy lent me Seasons 6 - 9 of Friends, it kept me sane for the days that Agie is not around. I also have two dvds of Zumba and I enjoyed dancing and sweating around the house. Best nights of all is Thursday - the last day of the week that I am alone, I normally slept peacefully and with excitement that Hubby is coming home the next day.

And this has been my life for three weeks. And today, Hubby is coming home for good! No more packing every Sunday, no more lonely, scary, creepy Sunday nights, no more Friends marathon too (or maybe a few episodes here and there, I have purchased 4 seasons from Ebay already so before long, I would have the complete set! Yehey. I really missed my Friends box set, I just hope its not collecting dust in the Phils). And since Agie is back, no more take away food for me, I can go back to cooking, baking and experimenting in the kitchen. Best of all, we can go out driving anytime, yahoo!!!

Life is good. Happy Friday! =)

Annoying or what

i was browsing my favorite online forum vogue and chanced upon this thread (http://forums.vogue.com.au/showthread.php?t=358137) about house etiquette. I was thinking to myself that I can be very anal when it comes to my place and maybe my housemates hated me for this? Good thing I married Agie because we think alike, altough he is worse than me, hehehe.

Some things I can leave with, but others I cannot --- specially dirty dishes because they attract cockroaches, which I really hate and I do not want to live with them! Apologies to my ex-housemates if I was such a Nazi when we were living together. =)

On another note, I found this hilarious site - PassiveAggressivenotes.com - I can't wait to submit my entry on this. Will start to look for passive-aggressive notes from now on. (Im laughing non-stop at the office
