Another Game System

Okay, how many game systems does a household need? We already have two, not counting the handheld ones, of which we have three. The kids got the Nintendo Wii two years ago and the Nintendo Game Cube the year before that. Do we need the Playstation or the xbox 360 ? I don't want to get another game system, what we have is enough. We'll just have to get them the games which, mind you, already costs $$.

Meeting Old Flames

Have you ever had this happen to you? I met an old flame last month when I went back to the Philippines. We connected in Facebook and he learned that I will be in Manila. He wanted to pay his last respects to my dad. We didn't date for a long time before, I know it was less than a year. We were in our early twenties and I felt that he still doesn't have any idea on what to do with his life. We parted as friends and that helped make it easy to reconnect after all these years. Aside from some white hairs and a few pounds (that can be easily gotten rid of by using fat burners) he still looks the same. He still has this quirky sense of humour and of course, beautiful eyes. It was nice to see him again and get updated with our lives now. He's the only ex-boyfriend I've seen. I don't know if it will be like this with the others (yes, there is more than two LOL) but I know it's not going to be as easy as this one.

My Part-time Job

When I was single, I took an extra job during the holiday. I had a full-time 8 to 5 job and then in the evening, I worked part-time at Circuit City. My friend worked there and she mentioned that they were looking for seasonal workers. That was a hard gig and my only foray into sales. I worked from 6 until closing and I had to stand forever. The nice part was the camaraderie and the worst part was the pressure to make a sale. I enjoyed it but not enough to come back the next year. I don't know if I will ever hold two jobs again. It's different now that I have a family, my first priority is my husband and kids.

I'm Becoming a Germophobe!

I hope not! Early this morning, I filled up my SUV. Afterwards, inside the car, I just realized that I didn't have any hand sanitizer in my pocket book or in the car. I almost panicked (well, kinda) and that's when I realized that I may be becoming a germophobe. Is it just me or is anyone out there feeling the same thing? Everytime I come home from shopping or any public place, I make sure that the kids and I either wash our hands or put on some hand sanitizer. Especially during these times wherein the fear of getting the H1N1 virus or Swine flu is very real, it is important to be extra vigilant. Every week, I hear in the news that a healthy kid or teen died from this virus and it is scary. I'm out of those anti-bacterial wipes since I gave the last two tubs to my kids' class. I need to stock up on it and also shop for the best weight loss pills that my cousin from the Philippines asked me to get for her.

Is It the Right Price?

When paying for my groceries or items I shopped, I sometimes wonder if the price I'm getting is the right one. I've seen some news reports that sometimes the wrong price is scanned. That's why I have made it a habit to check the receipt either while I'm still on the parking lot or when I get back home. I just want to be sure that I paid the correct price since there are times wherein the incorrect price will show up when the item goes through the barcode scanner. So pay attention to the prices on the shelf and the price when the item is scanned. It pays to be vigilant.
