Ho-Ho-Holiday with Krispy Kreme

We love Krispy Kreme!

Though the original glazed doughnut is STILL the favorite, we love to have those fancy seasonal doughnuts.

Krispy Kreme

With Christmas just a few weeks from now, we are excited to have Krispy Kreme snowman back on our plates and palate. But wait there’s more! Two special Krispy Kreme doughnuts are now available to share with family and friends: vanilla-frosted square-shaped doughnuts decked with green and red icing ribbons and classic Krispy Kreme ring doughnuts topped with red and green candy sprinkles.

Of course, Snowman is making a comeback and I’m sure many missed him 🙂

Alkaline Water

Alkaline water is said to help flush away the body’s toxins.

I’m not entirely sure if this is the same as colon cleansing diet or those holiday binging inspired 5 or 7 Day cleansing diets.

We have been drinking alkaline water for months now and I must say that, gross it may be, our pee has increased and smells real bad. If these are toxins being flushed out, then I certainly don’t mind the smell at all if this will help keep us healthy.

Ah, Men

Virility and machismo are two big words that men take to heart. There are still those who think these are reduced when they are seen doing house chores like doing the dishes and cleaning the house, never mind if their wives are dead tired like them or is on about to give birth.

Some would, at the slightest problems, readily have natural male enhancement pills without the benefit of a doctor’s advice because knowing what’s wrong is not an alternative even if they have not been feeling well.

What are some of the characteristics of men which make them “brothers” aside from the real and/or imagined virility and machismo thoughts?

  • They would hem and haw if they are asked to see a doctor.
  • They refused to wear pastel colored clothes.
  • They think crying in public makes them less a man.
  • They would laugh at (married) men doing house chores because they are “under the saya“

These are just some of the men characteristics that women find either amusing or annoying, depending on what their relationship is with them.

A Few Gift Ideas

Been trying to bake different kinds of goodies not just for the packed food the kids need to bring but also for our Christmas giveaways because as always, frugal Christmas is the only way I will go with regards to gift-giving to some select people.

Frugal Christmas doesn’t mean effortless and meaningless because these require time, effort and electric bill boost. Anyway…

Much as I want to have those photo prints to be made and ordered online and delivered right at your doorstep, I simply don’t have the time. I will but maybe not now.

My plans for the photo books and mouse pads (mice pads? LOL) and maybe even door hangers are put on hold for now. Though I might reconsider giving these as after-Christmas gifts 😀

Currently Watching NUMB3RS

I love watching DVDs in my laptop because it has a big screen and wonderful speakers. Last night I was watching NUMB3RS but fell asleep only to wake up hearing beep-beep-beeping sounds from outside: hubby is waiting for me to open the gate for him.

Hubby’s netbook fails in comparison when it comes to playing games, listening to audio and watching movies. Not that it needs a new video card but the audio is just blah, like sounds made from tin can 🙁

Hubby at times uses a pair of nice speakers if he wants to listen to music or puts on his big headphones. I don’t need to do that 😉
