I was telling to hubby to go up in Tahoe this weekend and bring the kids to experience the snow this year. He said that it’s a nice idea but he hates the work. *lol* He knows that he needs to prepare a lot of stuff including the snow chains for the car and sled for Lianne. I cannot lift heavy stuff and that adds to his disgust to go up in the mountains. So not this year end.. maybe next year before the winter starts. I hope that time the snow will be enough for Lianne to enjoy her sled.

-Baby boy arrived in October

-Mom’s vacation in January for five months

One of the thing I wish to have is this digital frame, where I can showcase photos of my kids without cluttering my desk with too many frames. I was telling to hubby that this is the best time to buy it because it’s on sale. I just hope that he will do the shopping for me. I also want to get this frame for my mom. I know that she will enjoy watching her grand kids on this digital frame ;)

Taken this year from CA State Fair last August 2008. I’m trying to play with different camera set up and these are the outcome. You can check more on my flickr account. I need to get off now so I can search for some diet pills that can help me to shed extra pounds. Do you know any? It’s not easy to loose weight *sigh*

One of the thing I want when I visit home next year is to visit a dentist and if possible to do implants within my two weeks visit. It’s really expensive here.. last year my dentist quoted me for $4500 and it’s only one tooth! Back home I can have it done for $1000-2000 only. The only drawback if I will have my implants done back home is the time frame. I heard that two weeks time frame is really short to make sure that the implants will work right and healing to be short. Haaay, I might consider the Washington DC dentist my cousin is suggesting if they have reasonable charge. What do you think? Should I have it done in my homeland, Manila or stay here in the US?

Stuff for Hubby:

Your Flirt Quotient
You are 40% Flirt

Thank goodness, cause I’m really not! lol I rather check out latest Miele vacuum cleaners that check out how cute the guy is.. hahaha But yeah seriously, I hate flirty men and women. I just don’t think that flirting is a fun game. I can tell when one is flirting.. hahah But I normally keep all my observation in private. I’ll just wait when someone open it up then I can confirm that what I observed is correct. ;)

Taken from our backyard. :D My mom often uses this in marinating meat. And just looking at this I can tell that it’s really sour.

Anyway, I’m looking for some cheap Vegas vacations packages for a friend. She needs help in shopping travel vacation for her family. This is one of the things I need to accomplish before I go to bed.
