You Get What You Pay For

March 31st, 2010

These are the things that I bought for Yogi’s recognition ceremony at his school and his birthday. He wore the polo-shirt to school and the long-sleeved shirt on his birthday. Both shirts are of brand names, thus, they weren’t cheap at all. I wish they were like the cheap insurance mom just got: more affordable but of high quality. Kids’ things are now even more costly than what adults wear, it seems.

I looked for some unbranded kids wear but I simply didn’t like what I saw. The clothes were as cheap as their price. I know there were quality goods there that were also cheap, but I just wasn’t in the mood to search further because we were running out of time, not to mention that our tummies were rumbling, too.

The price that I paid for those shirts were worth it, though, since they definitely are of high quality, and they were for very special occasions.

Love An Adventure; A Fun One, That Is.

March 31st, 2010

Shopping for the things needed for my son Yogi’s recognition day at school and for his birthday was really an adventure. First off, my credit card provider’s terminal was having problems which made it impossible for me to use my credit card. I then had to use my cash which I was supposed to use for other things.

Next, the barcode scanner of the cashier at the second mall I went to to buy my birthday gifts for Yogi was messing up, thus, I had to jump to another cashier’s booth which meant I had to fall in line again in another long queue.

That was an adventure, but not exactly the kind I like; there were no excitement and thrills or romance involved; just aggravation and irritation. Nevertheless, it was still no biggy for me for it was another bonding moment for my son and I, and despite those mishaps, we still managed to enjoy the day as well as the snacks we had. (“,)

Birthday Bash

March 30th, 2010

Here’s the li’l party that I gave the li’l one on his 7th birthday on March 28th. Only the family and some close friends celebrated with us. I didn’t invite lotsa people for I wanted it to be simple. I don’t have that much budget too that can accommodate them all. But as they say, the simpler the better, and it was.

I wonder what Yogi was thinking while looking at all those food. He’s probably drooling, I guess. Hehe.

He loves his cake a lot – a car racing inspired cake which he chose himself. Nice, isn’t it?

Gotcha, Mom!

March 29th, 2010

I was reading a magazine in my bedroom yesterday afternoon when I heard mom and dad talking from the living room. I didn’t want to be an eavesdropper so I went out and joined them. They were talking about our car’s insurance that will expire soon. Upon learning about it, I know I’ll soon be checking for an auto insurance quote once again because I’ve always been the one tasked to do that. No problem since I will just let my fingers do the walking. Or my mouth do the talking in case I have to call and double check on the quotes I find; better safe than sorry.

Up until now, mom still hasn’t told me to look for one. But she’s not going to do the searching herself, I’m certain of that. She’s just so busy with other things at the moment that she hasn’t turned the job over to me…yet. (“,) So I think I will just keep quiet and wait, and in the meantime go ahead and do my duties so I can say, “Here ya go, mom; SURPRISE!” I can’t wait to see the look on her face when she realizes that the job is already done and good to go. HEE-HEE-HEE

Another Year Flown Like the Wind

March 29th, 2010

Celebrating my son Yogi’s 7th birthday yesterday was a blast. I now have a seven-year-old boy and thinking about it makes me realize how time flies so fast. It all seems like yesterday when I was still holding him in my arms, still a baby and so fragile. Now he’s a BIG kid and already capable of doing a lot of things. And before I know it, I’ll already have a young adult, then an adult, and so on.

It makes me realize one more thing too – I’m not getting any younger. LOL. But It’s not at all biggy for me nor I am afraid of the future for I already have had made everything ready just in case. I already have a life insurance with my son as my beneficiary. I know it’s kind of weird talking about this but that’s life, and this is what reality is all about. I can only hope for a longer life ahead of me so I can see my son grow as an adult and see every milestone in his life. Such a nice thought to think of.
