Life is Like a Wheel

Well, I always choose comfort. I am done with all that of being presentable. You know, I prefer wearing slippers now than wearing shoes. Well, especially if I would have to take a long walk or hours of standing like during shopping! There were a few times that I was sort of shy to wear slippers that was why I had to suffer aching feet.

Yesterday, we went to a family gathering with the plan to go to the mall afterwards. You know for the Christmas shopping. I have not bought gifts yet for my friends. For godchildren, it is always money to give. My hubby told me that I looked like I am going to the wet market. He and my kid were wearing their best. Oh, well, I already got him,who am I to impress? Nobody else anymore. Well, so I went. You know what? One of my relatives gave me a pair of new sneakers! My hubby told me that maybe my cousin thought that I do not have footwear! Ha,ha,ha! Well, it paid off? Kidding aside, I did not want the thought of foot pain anymore. Today, we are going out again. Well, slippers? Nah, the sneakers given to me are comfortable.

My cousin arrived from the states to spend Christmas here. Oh, my! She and the rest of her family are all wearing eyeglasses! I wonder if they frequent the popular online eyeglasses shop which is Zenni. Well, if they do not know about it yet, I will convince them to do so because that would mean a lot of savings for them. They are quiet well off though but it does not mean that they would not look on better deals that are available. They should check the Holiday Glass Frames From Zenni Optical and more! Well, my cousin who is the mother of the two boys would really thank me if after learning that she could get $ 8 Complete Rx Eyeglasses from Zenni!

It is Christmas season and there are lots of photo opportunities. I am sure that some of you have taken some great shots. There are many good subjects for the season.

Even if I am not a photographer or does not have a good camera, I love taking pictures. If time and money would allow, I would like to purchase a digital camera with lens. One of my friends took a photography course. I wonder if she would like to win in the 2008 Photograph of the Year contest.

I have been away from blogging lately. No drops, no entries, no comments. Anyways, I have been busy what? Well, office, sleeping and watching TV! Actually watching some of my favorite US shows online. Thanks to those sites that make that possible. Just a while ago, I finished watching episode 10 of Grey’s Anatomy’s season 5. I like the episode. There are many stories in each episode but the one that struck me was the case of a woman who had not spoken for five years and she just communicated with his husband by the use of post-its containing short responses like yes and no! Oh, how hard that situation could be. The mighty and yummy Mark Sloan performed a procedure for her to speak again. The scene when she finally said hi to her husband was really touching.

Come to think of it. Could you live this life without a voice? I could not. I am a very expressive and sometimes even considered as a loud person. Moreover, I love to hear other people’s voices too! Oh, I could not forget the first time my son called me Mommy and said I love you.

I was so excited every time my boyfriend then, now my husband would be going back from his work abroad for a vacation. Actually, he only went for a vacation twice then he stayed here with me for good.

He always asked me then what gift I want. Do I want a perfume or a bag or a watch maybe? Oh, if only he knew that all I wanted was him and nothing material. Actually I always tell him that. I am so in love with him.

We have been away from each other for so long and there were times that he would promise to go back here for a vacation yet he did not. All I got were those presents that he asked me about.

The time had come that he eventually kept his promise. He came back. I was so excited! What did he bring me? I do not know. But I saw this big square box. I was shy to ask him. He had always known me to be very modest about things and I really never ask for anything material from him. Well, I found out that the box is actually Cigars. His boss gave him some money to buy those for him and give it to his father. How thoughtful! Well, my husband is a non-smoker.

So, what did I got from that trip? Do you ever wonder what he had in store for me then? He gave me his name.
