Life’s Lessons

I haven’t posted that our 3rd wedding anniversary was last August 25 and I’ve been silent how it went. For curious friends, we didn’t have a grand celebration. I and Ace had lunch at Antonio’s Bar and Grill in SM City. It’s our first time there and first impression was good. My picky taste buds said the food is not commercially prepared – tastes like homecooked meals for me and Ace! We roam around SM for about an hour until we bumped into my relatives. I and Ace bought a cake from Red Ribbon and headed home to Manang Inday’s place for a late afternoon snack of pizza and cake before the rest of my cousins, aunt and uncle went home to Kabacan.

We just had a few snaps and decided to put it together in a digiscrap quick page I downloaded last week. Just trying my luck in digiscrapping.LOL

Anyway, we had a great day and so thankful for all the blessings bestowed upon us! Cheers to more years of being together!

Being a technology idiot, I don’t find myself drooling over gadgets at its first release in the market. I could say I am a late bloomer. It’s been two years since I heard about iPhone, but it’s only now that it caught my interest. That iPhone will remain a wishlist item forever (perhaps) because I can’t still convince myself to work hard for it. What keeps me so disturbed now is my dream point and shoot camera for more than a year. Take note, it has been in my WANT and NEED list and not in my WISHLIST. I need a point and shoot camera for ordinary shooting so I don’t have to bring the DSLR anywhere. It’s so inconvenient to pull out the DSLR every time I want to take a quick snap of something that I find interesting to blog about.

Looking at my pending earnings, I could get my longtime dream point and shoot camera with it. But Ace promised he’ll buy me one from his bonus. Oh my, that means I will wait until December! The urge to get the camera is too strong that there’s no day I don’t find myself thinking about it. How I wish it’s December next week so I will not wait too long. Imagine the agony of waiting? I can’t deal with it for a month! If I waited too long before, I cannot wait that long again. Or, Ace will avail of a cash advance payday loan and buy me my dream Panasonic Lumix LX3 soon. If that will happen, I’d be the happiest lad on earth! Kidding aside, I am dying to have that digicam and I am willing to spend my earnings on it and have Ace refund the money come December or we could get a walk-around lens for our DSLR. It’s about time that we have to upgrade our lens lineup and Ace will be definitely happy should we have that 18-200mm that he’s been eyeing for months.

It’s been a while since we had a vacation. Our two-day trip to the island nearby is just a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city life so it can’t really be considered a vacation. We do have plans of going on a vacation but we still cannot decide when because we both can’t leave for a week or more from work. Oh well, that’s the downside of being in a rat race! How I wish Ace is not holding a position with an important workload that will hamper the department’s operation should he will be absent for a week or more. Maybe for now that’ll remain in our wishlist – to have a long vacation that we deserve for pushing ourselves too much in order to earn for a living.

Having said that, I am so envious to a friend who just came back from a week’s vacation. I am so happy that she and her husband did find time to take a break from their busy life. Now they’re back with renewed spirits! They hopped from one place to another for the first week of their trip and settled on one of the vacation rentals in California where they spent a week bumming around. How i wish we could also afford that grand vacation. Should we have the chance to go on a vacation, I would sure love to try one of the vacation rentals – for a change. If possible I want a place so conveniently nestled in a nice, tranquil environment and not in a hotel…I want a home away from home! That would be an expensive vacation so we need to work harder for it! For now, we will just be contented with quick beach getaways for that’s what we could easily afford. The grand vacation will happen in the future, keeping my fingers crossed!
