Since my eating too much this season has been giving me some tummy problems, I promise myself that I will try my very best to have a healthier diet this coming New Year. And hopefully I will be able to exercise more religiously. I just haven’t found the time to shop for new running shoes, but when I do, I will go balk to brisk walking on the treadmill. I hope I’d be brave enough to try yoga, and get myself a yoga mat and even a yoga meditation chair. Starting on these isn’t so hard, maintaining those activities is what I find more challenging.

Christmas, that is. I’m glad I am done shopping for the gifts. And since most of those gifts are for DS’ school, everything has been distributed as well. All that’s left to do is prepare the cash gifts for the relatives. I’m trying to finish work also so I can enjoy the holiday season. I probably should continue the cleaning and decluttering of the house and researching about single premium immediate annuities after Christmas instead. I might try out new recipes for Christmas Eve so I need all the time to learn and shop. Or maybe not. Should I just order food instead?

An idle mind is the devil’s workshop. I believe this is true. And so to keep mind from all the unhealthy thoughts, I am planning to re-visit my old hobbies and learn new ones. Scrapbooking will still remain a top priority though it doesn’t seem so as per my scrap output. Learning more about photography is likewise on my list. I like to work with my hands so I might give cross stitching a try again. I’d like to get a sewing machine and try to sew again, as well. I am also browsing the net for beads for jewelry making and beading ideas to see if it will spark my interest on it again. And most especially, I want to try baking. I do bake from time to time but it’s mostly straight out of the box. I want to try something from scratch this time.

1. The Non-Murse Man Bag
2. Flight Lessons
3. Hilarious Reading
4. On-Trend Boots
5. Headphones That Can Do It All
6. The Manly Man’s Winter Vest
7. A Customizable iPad Case
I grabbed this from yahoo dot com. I am afraid though that almost half of the items on the list aren’t applicable here. For one, we live in a tropical country, thus a winter vest isn’t a necessity. I think a stainless steel necklace or a watch will make great gifts as well. Or a gym membership perhaps. A camera. A gadget. And I just realized that it isn’t actually so hard to get gifts for the guys.

Christmas is fast approaching. And it’s time to try playing the piano once again. For some reason, we get re-acquainted with the piano during this season. Maybe because we like to hear Christmas songs during this season and what better way to play Christmas songs than playing them ourselves. And before you get misled, no we don’t know how to play the piano. I know a bit since I studied when I was younger, but that’s just about it. I am trying to introduce it to my son, and I even offered to get him pearl drums, but I don’t think he is into it, for now at least. But I promise, when he gets a little bit older, I will make him try at least once musical instrument.

Weekends have always been busy for us. Aside from DS’ usual activities, DH sometimes accepts photography gigs on weekends as well. Then last weekend, we attended an early Christmas Party with friends. It was a fun party and DS got to take home tons of Angry Birds items, while DH got outdoor speakers from the White Elephant game, would you believe? Nah, he got this really cute yet very powerful speaker. And then this coming weekend we are to witness the Christening of a friend’s baby girl. So since we are out of the house, needless to say, my tummy has been having too much not-so-healthy food. And as much I am liking it, our weighing scale so disagrees. So I guess I just have to eat healthier from now on.

The construction and renovation going on at the houses in our street, that is. And all the dust and paint fumes aren’t doing us any good. One neighbor is constructing their house on phases, and I am hoping that what they’re doing now is the last phase as I can’t take any more dust and mess in the street. They are still building a pool on their rooftop and the other day I think I saw a clawfoot tub being delivered to their house. And as if that’s not enough, two more neighbors got inspired and did a little renovation and repainting as well. I’m glad both were just quick projects though and we’re done in about two weeks. For my Christmas wish, I hope the last one will be done with their house the soonest.

I was never aware that there exists a running snowshoe. But I am from a tropical country so I am not familiar with any thing snow-related. Anyway, I came across this type of shoe, Crescent Moon Gold 12 Snowshoes in particular, as I was looking for gifts for a good friend abroad. I want to get him something useful hence a pair of shoes. This reminds me that I need to get a pair of running shoes for me as well. I badly need to lose several more stubborn fats.

It’s been a while since I baked so I made baked banana oatmeal last week. I keep on planning to bake some cookies, but it would never push through. I am staying away from too much sweets, DS isn’t fond of sweets either. I guess that’s why I never get to do it. Maybe for Christmas, we can indulge in some sweets. Maybe I can do something with oatmeal and nuts, so it’s a bit healthier, less guilt for me. Aside from looking for nursing scrubs, I plan to get new aprons and kitchen towels, too as I want everything in the house to be a little Christmas-sy. It does make baking/cooking time more fun.

One of those rare days that I included fruits in my meal. I had these early this week. And this reminds me that I need to buy oranges. Or maybe not as we still have some pineapple. Anyway, I am trying to add more fruits into our meals, and I plan to revise our weekly menu as well. I am a trying hard vegetarian, but the other members of the family aren’t. So it will be unfair if I will deprive them of the food they love. Plus I know my son needs variety of food. And so a little bit of meat will be included in our weekly meals, along with veggies and fruits. So aside from looking into Travel Guide Jobs or whatever job that I can do at home, I am likewise searching for new recipes to try.
