The end is near...
It's the last day of our boss-free week...

Hubby and I finally got the chance to buy a vacuum cleaner which is a "must-have" for cleaning the car, also,it will be a little handy for cleaning our little apartment. I also found this gorgeous "red dress" at one of the newly open shops in Trinoma, I was able to buy also MrBuncs a nice-looking white polo. It has been my duty eversince we got married to be his personal shopper, to the point that, he can't buy his stuff on his own without consulting me hehe

I'm trying to loose weight by popping slimming pills, one of my clients offered it to me, since she has a great sales pitch, I found myself carrying it with me. The effect? Well its makes you thirsty BIG TIME! I'm not a water person, I will be drown to have 3 full glasses in a day, but now, I've been galloping water even before I close my eyes. The tendency is you loose appetite since you're full from the water intake. I'm weighing 124 lbs. when I started taking it, its not that I'm fat, its just that I'm not used to being 120+ lbs. its so frustrating that I can't wear most of my clothes now and that's justify my shopping hehe.

MrBuncs is itching to buy the digital SLR that he wants, he found a store somewhere in manila selling digital SLR - very cheap but original - cash basis only. He will be going there tomorrow while me and my mom will be shopping at Divi hehe. I want to start my christmas shopping as early as now, I don't want to be rushing come christmas season.

Am I getting older?
I'm a bit grumpy today...I don't know, I went to bed earlier than usual last night and woke up later than I'm used to. I'm not sure, maybe too much work it taking a tall on me.

At long last, I finally got the chance to update my resume - by tomorrow, I'll be able to complete everything because I need to dig my files for the trainings that I have attended. I intend to have a consultancy job before the end of the year, so by next year, I'll have something to do besides planning for weddings - then I can finally give up my full time job. Yes! That's my plan. Honestly, it's the need to have a steady income that keeps me from walking out here, you see, I'm used to supporting myself, eventhough my hubby will definitely provide for me, I don't want to feel "needy" in a way. I will feel guilty for shopping hehe.

Last June, I ventured to a business with my old-time friend and its giving positive yield...so money is no more an issue...however, I feel that I needed to do something since I'm used to working and not just plain working but working to death, it will definitely be a big change for me. So, I'm preparing myself to have something to be busy with and that will be consultancy jobs - and - wedding planning! It's not that I do not want my job, I love my job, its very challenging and I learn a lot from it but its really demanding, and the pay is not that lucrative. It's taking so much of my time - my life...

I'm really changing...
For 3 days now, my head hurts...I tried swallowing advil but unfortunately I only got one spare left, thank God the hurting stopped with just one pill.

My Bosses are not around for the whole week, weeeeeeee! I almost felt sad when I was asked to go along with the other team who is conducting a briefing and try to squeeze in our projects in the itinerary, luckily- we completed the briefing for both projects in the region their supposed to be visiting this weekend, meaning, I will have my much-awaited work-free weekend. My hubby and I plan to see another urologist for a 2nd opinion on his state.

----

Hubby decided to sell his brand new 6300 so he can save for the Digital SLR that he's been day-dreaming about. Maybe by December, he'll be able to get his hands on that camera, I suggested for him to enroll in photography lessons so he can pursue his hobby - I'm a Wedding Planner and he can serve as a Photographer, what a DEAL!

----

Next weekend, I intend to go to Divi, I wanted to buy christmas tree and ornaments, fabrics for curtains and bedcovers, other homey stuff. So domestic ha....Speaking of that, I've been wanting to setup my home office for quite some time, unfortunately, I'm loaded with work even during weekend that I can't find time to clean the room and organize my wedding planning stuff, hopefully before the end of the year, my time will permit me to do so.

So I thought....
And I thought it was a work-free weekend...I'm terribly mistaken....

After 2 hours badminton game with my friends, office works begin as if its not weekend, I begged off not to do the article that we need to release - I settled my self to just coordinating things with our PR Man, my Boss and my staff. I had lunch with my friends and coffee while discussing things over...I'm not in the mood to talk so I just listened to them. Then we shopped around, I bought 2 gifts for a niece and a friend's baby whose celebrating their 1st birtday. We went home around 7PM.

Today, I managed to cook for lunch - what else but my ever famous sinigang. I went back and forth to my paternal house just to check my emails since we opted not to have internet in our apartment. I intend to have a nap but still can't have the luxury of time to do it since I'm literally working at home, hay. So just to lighten up things, I decided to write about it.

Yesterday, MrBuncs's doctor dropped the bomb on us by saying that he needs to undergo operation since one of his veins is causing the fertility problem, we decided to seek 2nd opinion and to try other alternative cure before we pursue operation. Of course, I don't want my hubby to be laying at the operation table as much as possible. I've been whining to my friends, how life can be soooo pathetic and unfair, there are several people there who doesn't want to have children, to the point of having it aborted or thrown to streets, while me, who is achingly willing to have babies - even one baby - is having a hard time. We will just have to submit ourselves to His will - and no matter what, I will always love my dear hubby.

---

Last Friday night, we found ourselves annoyed with the fact that someone or something hit the back of our car while it was parked. Of course, hubby was so apologetic and terrified with my reaction that I just brushed it off with a smile, of course I hated it when our things get scratched but I can't blame him since its not his fault, we can't help that some bastards are not responsible enough to accept the consequence of their actions. Hmp!

My 2nd post this September...
Well...well..well...I'm back!

I'm here in the office, sitting in my chair, we just called off a system test. Actually, I'm just waiting for MrBuncs to finish up some techie stuff that he needs to do. For 1 month, this will be the first work-free weekend that I'll have.Hay.

It's been a tiring month, tomorrow, me and my friends will be hitting the badminton court then grab a lunch while MrBuncs will have to bring our car to the service center for PM, he'll then go to St.Lukes for the result of his ultrasound. Early this year, we decided to stick seriously with our appointments with the doctors concerning our reproductive health, we really want to have children after our church wedding and its been really frustrating that we're still childless, blame it to our demanding and stressful job. I've been thinking and seriously considering resigning eversince last year, I just don't have the heart to do it - perhaps not until the end of this year.

MrBuncs is encouraging me to give up my job - I have 3 months to go to think things over. I hope God will give me a sign. Our "business" is doing well now, aside from me doing part-time wedding coordination. Although, most of the weddings we have are not until next year. Hay. Decisions....Decisions...Decisions....

Its just that I will miss being all that busy but I'm sure I'll find a way to make myself busy.

Some kwento...
Its almost 5PM here in the office, my work schedule is a breeze compared to the last 3 weeks,hay. Last night I met an old friend at Starbucks to hand-over something. Before going there, I managed to passed by Sta Lucia Mall to get a baby crib for my friend who just delivered a very healthy baby boy. I was tasked by other friends to shop for the crib and while in the mall we passed by Sony - which is on SALE! Mr.Buncs has been contemplating for 2 weeks now to buy a 32-inch flat screen TV, the TV comes with a real nice deal, what's taking us so long to decide is that - we will be shelling out 50 grand hehe. That's too much for us right now since we just got a new car. Luckily, I'm really good in convincing people - including my husband hehe. I managed to convinced him to delay - delay the gratification for something BIGGER. A house perhaps.

So we are quite happy that we are mature enough not to be jumping on the sack right there and then. This is really a good exercise on how disciplined you are financially speaking.

We are planning to visit my newly-delivered friend tonight...I sooooo love babies, specially new-born ones. I wish I'll have my own soon =)

Updates!
I managed to open my blog with two tries, congratulations to me!

Updates, updates, updates!

1. We got back from Bangkok last July 25. I was able to buy 5 pairs of shoes/sandals, a zillion accessories, a few pieces of blouses to add to my wardrobe, its tiring but it was fun. We got the chance to go to major malls, bazaars and tourist attractions. We went there with a couple of friends from college.

2. We also got a new car! its a 2007 HONDA CIVIC! This is is the car I've been dreaming to have since early this year, when I saw it or was it 2006? - I told myself that if we are buying a new car - this will definitely be IT! After so much thinking on whether to buy a new car or just a second-hand that is still in top condition (which literally took us 2 months), we decided to have a brand new car instead. Paying for it is another thing hehe. I hope our new-found "investment" strategy will continue to work and help us ease with the monthly amortization.

3. In relation to that, I just had my two-hour driving lesson today, I contracted our company driver to teach me, since the car is automatic, its easier to drive. Before the end of September, I'll be able to drive our car hehe.

4. Office life is busier as usual, our new project is keeping me chained in my cublicle seven days a week for 2 weeks now.

5. Marriage life is running smoothly - I cannot ask anything more from Mr. Buncs. What have I done in my past life to deserve a kind, loving, supportive, understanding and good-looking husband hehe.

6. We celebrated Mr.Buncs birthday in our new apartment, we invited my in-laws for lunch, they were happy with what we served them, not from my own cooking of course hehe.

7. I started to play badminton again - when? this morning hehe, with my friends from highschool, the weighing scale in our bathroom have started to give me a signal to get some weight loss routine - we're also contemplating on buying a good threadmill, we're still shopping around for best deal available...after all, we should not scrimp on our health, that's why I'm religiously taking - Vit. B, C, E and Memory Enhancers, for vanity - I'm taking Glutathione for almost a month now. Results? I'll give update next month.
