Xbox and Kids

Our Wii is more than two years old but it is only now that it is being used by my boys. I don't know why they weren't being explored much before.

Now, they play everyday! It is nice that it's being used but sometimes I get a little jealous because they spend so much more time now playing and even talking about it.

Boys.

My 5-year old even wants another gaming console for his birthday next month! He said it would be "awesome" if gets xbox for a present on his birthday!

XBOX 360 Bundle

My son wants one after he saw an xbox 360 controller in a friend's house and he got curious with it. He told me he played xbox with his friend and it was "awesome".

If I buy him the xbox, I am pretty sure the boys won't have time for me anymore. 

Safes

Break from shopping find...

My husband and I were just talking about gun safety earlier. I told him I saw someone with lots of bullets as his belt yesterday. Apparently hubby saw him too and apparently he was a security guard of someone important.

I don't know, but seeing a civilian-wearing guard with lots of bullets gives me the creeps. With a lot of things going on around us, the very last thing I want to see are those bullets.

If I have my way, nobody should own any armory or anything like that. And if they already have, it should be put in a safe where nobody could access them.

Well, something like this..



I really think ordinary citizen should not be allowed to carry guns or pistols. License should be revoked or not issued at all.

Well, that's my opinion.

Birthday Wish List: Brown Leather Bags

My birthday is less than a month away. And all I want for my birthday is a bag. Are you listening hubby? Or bag fairy?

Michael Kors Gia Tote with Pockets $995

Dear hubby, I know the two bags above are expensive but if you look at my workload and the way I work, I think I deserve either one of them. But if it really doesn't fit in your budget, then by all means just buy the bag below. At least it's in the same color. I'd be happy, as long as it's given wholeheartedly. LOL!

With Retina Display

Hubby is considering buying the new Macbook Pro with retina display.

While the new macbook sounds so good, I objected to hubby's plan. He just bought his macbook over a year ago and it is still working perfectly.

It slowed a bit when he upgraded to OSX lion. He thought he would be reformatting hard drive but all he needed to do was to downgrade to its original osx.

After he did that everything was fine and it's fast again.

I don't know why he's thinking of buying the new macbook. He hardly uses his macbook anyway. He only uses it to sync his iPhone and iPad. And that's it. Well, sometimes he uses it to surf online.

I think hubby's addicted to anything Apple. Every time a new item comes out, he's tempted to purchase one.

Hmm..in the meantime, I am waiting for the release of the iPhone 5. LOL!

Tea Convert

I used to be a coffee drinker. Well, I still drink coffee once a day but I am more of a tea drinker now. I drink it like it's water. Maybe even more now after I shifted drinking green tea to oolong tea.

Oolong tea has a milder taste compared to green tea so it is easier to gulp big amounts without feeling like you're drinking grass. LOL!

My oolong tea are all loose. I don't brew big amounts because I like my drink to be warm all the time. What I do is put a teaspoonful of loose tea in my mug and pour hot water. Once I finish the first mug, I just pour another hot water.

What I don't like though is sometimes I get to "eat" the loose tea because I don't have the infuser or the filter! Hubby told me to buy one ever since but I was just hard headed. I thought I could live without it. But now that I drink tea like a fish, I should really buy an infuser.

So I am now browsing over the net and I am looking for a nice tea infuser or a filter. My husband said, while I am at it, I should also look for prestige medical uniform for her cousin. Okay, but I told him I will do it later. Teehee.

Here are the tea infusers I liked on the internet:

Heart-shaped tea infuser. Isn't this so cute?


Tea mug with infuser. I love the color! 

 For purple lovers, here's one for you.

 Robot tea infuser. I am tempted to buy this but I know my son will only play with it.
