My first photobook

Posted by gmirage1 on Nov 27, 2010 in Uncategorized | Comments Off

I’m really grateful for those online deals I mentioned some posts earlier. I got a whooping 70% discount on online printing services and I’ll be using it to print my first photobook. I haven’t finished the layout yet (I haven’t even started sorting out the photos) but most of what the book will contain you’ve already seen here.  If not, I’d perhaps finish my daughter’s photobook first which has been idly waiting on a shelf.

It took the author 7 years to finish this hand-written Bible.

If I have the luxury of time I would have done the same…perhaps. Writing down than just reading makes everything easier to understand. That’s how it has always been for me even when I was still a schoolkid. Jotting down or doing some scribbles as the teacher gives a lecture makes me remember better.

I’ve been studying the bible too since I entered first grade in school, of course, I do not have the same understanding then as now. I thank my teachers for instilling in me the love for the bible because now I recognized the truth the moment it approached me, I accepted it and it has set me free.

I got lost around the city…

Posted by gmirage1 on Nov 26, 2010 in Gadgets | Comments Off

yes, in this city which I’ve walked many a street almost everyday. I got lost and on 3 consecutive days too. As I mentioned on my other blog I can’t remember where I was headed the first time. Second day was when I was going to the University to inquire about the enrolment. Being inside the building was another struggle as I wander around trying to find the registry office. I had no success in that.  I had wanted to take up a Master’s degree on translation but I think I have to find my way first successfully before finding those words  in my head. The last time was when I was looking for the Japanese shop that has most of the stuff I needed for cooking. In all those instances, I was just walking.

Normally, I don’t get lost…I have my iphone that the hubby installed with a gps tracking service. Just on those days the little boy has played with it without me having the time to find where he left it. It has always prove itself useful at times I am out to pick up something for the hubby. I know, I could easily look for a certain street on the map but the gps is still a lot cooler to use!

One big eye!

The little boy didn’t get scared of Mike Wazowski (Monsters Inc.) but he surely was schocked to see Sulley. He didn’t get near any other mascots after being scared by Sulley.

Giant Chipmunk!

Chip or Dale? Your guess is as good as mine. We can’t tell them apart…though the other chipmunk can be seen on this photo too. Can you distinguish one from the other?

Great deals!

Posted by gmirage1 on Nov 23, 2010 in Sale | Comments Off

Lately I’ve been addicted (that’s too strong a word but that’s really appropriate) on 2 websites that give customers discounted deals for various establishments around town. They offer 50% or more discounts for food, wellness, shoes, cosmetic treatments, printing services and a lot more. Since the deals are available for a limited time, I’ve subscribed to their newsletter so I don’t miss any. I’ve been using up my “salary” buying out lunches for 10Euro instead of  22 for a complete lunch. I bought a 15Euro gift certificate which is worth 50 which I used to buy hubby’s winter jacket and my new boots from Tom Tailor (photo at the right, both totalling to 95 instead of 130).

I think these deals are really great, they introduce a new deal almost everyday plus a bonus weekly deal. This is like  Cyber Monday deals in the US where you can shop and save upto 70% discount on toys, jewelry, dvds, game consoles, laptops and other gadgets. Stuff that interests hubby more than I but looking around won’t hurt, I might find something that interests me like a camera (again) or a new lens at half the price. So, let’s go and let’s browse!
