RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY
Its a hell of a week for most of our kababayans.

One week of nothing but rain. Last Monday, I managed to go to the gym for the body jam class, I went to the grocery and was startled by an sms coming from my mother-in-law informing me that the water in our village is already starting to get high, no thanks to the non-stop rain.

So I hurriedly pay my groceries and went straight home. I'm glad I was an hour earlier or I wouldn't be able to cross, and I'll be worried sick with Hermione in the house with just her yaya and the maid.

We were stuck home, thankfully our house was spared from the flood but not the village. No one can cross the neck-deep water. I'm happy that I was able to fill the ref with food so that would be one less of a worry. I'm just worried about the car, since was not able to get a comprehensive insurance for this year as I was busy with work back then.

Thank God we were spared. 

By Friday, my brothers and father came here to get us, the flood has subsided. After resting a bit, we immediately went to our relatives who were affected by the flood to extend some help. Hubby and I decided to donate Hubby's birthday money to those affected by flood but since I have close relatives that were directly affected, I suggested we give it to them.

ONLINE SHOPPING, AGAIN.
I'm not feeling well the whole week, so I  had to skip on my gym...so I could rest. I just spent my week doing online shopping, I spent $$$ not to include that darn Prime membership from Amazon which cost me $79.  I forgot that my free 1 month membership has ended and I was charged. I cannot request for a refund since I used the Prime membership to have my items delivered in 2 days. What an expensive mistake. I hate myself.

Anyways, I was trying to buy online the Disney Princess Talking Kitchen for the little girl, however, delivery is 2 weeks since its not a Prime item apart from it cost $130 while in ToysRUs its only $69. Unfortunately, I cannot purchase at ToysRUs since they only accepts US-issued credit cards.

Hermione's Dad asked me to buy the little girl the whole Rock Band Set (Guitar,Drums,Keyboard and Mic) to complement the Xbox + Kinect bundle set that he will be purchasing for her 4th birthday this coming September. Also, I bought her a complete Toy Story figure set as she is totally head over heels in love with Toy Story. We have been playing it for the whole day for weeks now.

As for me, I bought myself a Derma Roller since a session here would cost me P3.5K, this is the cheapest I think, so I will be needing 6 sessions according to my dermatologist - wound cost me a whooping P21K. While I got mine for less than $100.

To maximize the shipping cost, I also bought: Crocs Boots (Hermione), Rechargeable Batts (Hermione's Toys), Trunki (Hermione), Starwars and Disney Games for Xbox (Daddy), Bra Case (Me), Vitamins and Tums, Tom's of Maine Toothpaste (Hermione), Cetaphil Cleanser (Hermione), Neutrogena On the Spot Treatment (Me), McDavid Waist Trimmer(Me), Thermos Funtainer Food Buddies (Hermione). So its more of Hermione and Me hehe.
