I used to love buying fashion magazines and ogle at the stick figures lovely models and personalities featured there. Now its a different kind of glossy readings that I want to browse (just browse, I don’t usually buy): food magazines with beautiful- good-you-can-eat-them-on the printed-paper food photos and home decor mags with beds, linens, Hansgrohe faucets,curtains and color combination suggestions. I also love reading hubby’s outdoor magazines including those that are frequented by two-wheeled machines.
If ever, I want to buy these, I’d usually go to a bargain book store and get back issues. Three or four issues equal the price of a brand new one. Since there is absolutely no expiration date on a recipe nor a must-see place, I see nothing wrong with getting these.
What about you?

The husband is a bit meticulous when it comes to buying men’s polo shirts.
He has a certain preference for a certain type of cloth. He prefers the hem to be straight especially since he is not fond of tucking in the shirt inside his pants. He even has a parameter for how long the shirt should be. He is not brand-conscious too, unlike other men.
I don’t believe only women have a hard time looking for what they like when shopping for clothes. Men have strong preferences too 🙂

In the uncertain times leading to the economic difficulties of a lot of the so-called first world countries, people have become more creative in being able to find jobs.
Some would even go through great lengths to move to the city of Philadelphia jobs offers. Yes, there are those who are willing to pack up and try their “luck” in other places as far as China.
Some put up their resumes online and hope for head hunters to find them.
Some people re-invent themselves and start all over again, doing an entirely different thing.
If this thing happens to you, how ready are you to face the challenges?

It is quite difficult to tell your friends that you are not prepared to listen to their sales pitch about the term life insurance quotes that they want you to know, the latest fashionable clothes nor the newest signature bags they have for sale.
There are those who end up buying whatever it is that the friend is selling, like shirts, bags and even gift certificates.
If however you refused to purchase from them, as friends, they should be able to understand your position if ever the roles are reversed.
In a status update I wrote in a social networking site where I have an account, I said: “Please do not tag me with things that you are selling.”
There. I hope they won’t take offense with what I wrote.

The Moving Up Day of the kids has come and gone.
Hubby and I promised them a gift, a reward for all their hard work. They have long chosen what they wanted us to give them, before they even broached the idea of demanding asking for these tokens.
The little boy asked for a small toy car (he has several dozens already!) while the little girl asked for a small inflatable swimming pool for summer. Hmmm… the little girl even wanted a personalized gift but changed her mind when she saw those colorful pools in the malls.
Today I will probably surprise them and get the pool. The toy car can wait until they can go with me to the mall again since I do not know what car brand the little boy has set his eyes on.
