Still Not Over.
I’m still not over my train.
I was supposed to be looking for Anoretix online when I just decided to look at my wish list. I have a few train sets on my list. I just don’t know if it’s possible to have that big thing sent over here so I am choosing from a few sets that don’t come with a table. I’ll just probably have a table made here instead if I decide to proceed with the purchase. Hay, I really want that train set right now so I can give it to DS.
Nonsense.
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.

Here are some more Dr. Seuss quotes:
“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”
“So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads.”
“Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.”
Updates.
DS missed few days of school last week. He was having cough and colds so we decided to let him stay in the house. I am also afraid that the teachers and even parents will get paranoid if they hear DS coughing in school. It was a good thing that school was suspended for 2 days last week due to typhoon so DS really didn’t miss much. Anyway, his pedia has already seen him last weekend and gave the go signal to go to school. The cough was just some sort of allergy. Anyway I will surely miss those leisurely days as I was able to accomplish a lot things during the break - decluttering, some chores, plus I got to have some more online time which I usually spent at free online auctions, window shopping and browsing stuff.

First Time.
We finally brought DS to the dentist last week. I keep putting it off for a while. Good thing, his teeth are still ok. The dentist just cleaned them and applied fluoride afterwards. There were times that he would resist and cry a little during the checkup. But all in all it wasn’t a bad experience for him.
Of course, we had to take pictures.

I don’t think so. Maybe in a few more weeks. }

Back to School.
It’s back to school for DS.
Back to waking up early for us.
Good luck to us.
Another Project?
We had some minor renovation/repairs done in the house a few weeks ago. Now that it’s finished, I am thinking of doing some changes in our front yard. I really want a garden so I was telling DH that I want to change the flooring of our front space and then maybe create a little space for a garden, too. I saw some really pretty gazebos from Summerwood Products and I think I want one. I am just not so sure though if a gazebo will fit in our tiny space.
First Time.
Finally, we brought DS to the dentist this afternoon. I originally planned of bringing him yesterday, but when I called the clinic I was told that the sked for the day was filled already. So we came in today. The pedia-dentist first introduced the tools to DS, then she left for a while probably to make DS more at ease on the chair. When the dentist came back, she counted DS’s teeth, and then she brushed them using the toothbrush DS chose. She then cleaned the teeth and applied fluoride. We were told to come back in 4 months for fluoride application. Since DS still refuses to try out toothpaste with fluoride, his next visit will be much sooner than usual. The visit took 30 minutes. I will post pictures later.
Game Search.
I noticed that DS is not so interested anymore on the usual games he has been playing on the computer. So I have been searching for other kid-friendly sites, like educational games, fun activities and even about museums and libraries. I’m happy to have found a few sites featuring his current favorite characters. I do hope he likes these sites as I don’t want him to be playing his daddy’s games. I was as always watching TV while in front of the computer and I just heard about a certain celebrity who just got out of a drug rehab center. They showed a portion of the center and I was just amazed at how grand the center is. It isn’t like hospitals or other treatment centers out there. It actually feels like you are checking in a fancy resort.

Something Organic.
I grabbed a brochure of organic products being sold by a parent in my son’s school. The products are organic, with no harmful chemicals and surprisingly cheap. I might try their organic facial care as my skin badly needs tender loving care. I haven’t been diligent when it comes to skin care that’s why. I am likewise searching the internet for an effective acne skin treatment. I came across TopAcneTreatment.org, a site that reviews the various acne treatment products and ranks them. I do hope to find the best regimen for my skin.
A Day With Barney.
DS’s classmate celebrated his birthday in school this summer. Unlike the usual birthday treats where kids just enjoy free snacks from the celebrant, this time they had Barney as guest. Barney danced and played with the kids. The kids also had some games. DS got so excited when Barney started dancing that he got up and danced with him. When Barney was about to leave, I told DS to say bye to Barney. Guess what DS said. He said “ba-bye Mickey Mouse!”.

My To-do List.
When you make a to-do list, you should make sure that it is posted somewhere you see often or else you will never be able to accomplish anything. I have my to-do list but it’s in my bag. I took a look at it earlier this evening and I was surprised that I haven’t accomplished much. At least, I got to finish the major ones like cleaning out the closet and the medical supplies. And speaking of supplies, since I threw out most of them, I need to replace the supplies with new ones. AllegroMedical.com seems to have everything that I need and so much more. Aside from medical equipments and home health care supplies, they also carry other consumer products such as maternity supplies, baby supplies, dietary supplements and the like. AllegroMedical.com has everything you will ever need. This saves a lot of shopping time as you only have one store to go to.
I Am Loving Yogurt.
I am loving yogurt right now. I used to not like it, but thanks to Nestle fruit selection, I was able to try out the yogurt. However, the only flavors I am eating are the melon buco and buco. I love the tiny nata bits, I have something to munch on. It’s time to try out healthier foods.
About Time.
This is so perfect. More time is what I need right now. More time to relax, more time to sleep and more time to do nothing. Seriously, I love being busy. But not so much. I want time to breath and enjoy life, as well.
1. Do you find you don’t have as much time on your hands as you used to? Right now, yes.
2. Are you a “Clock Watcher”? When I am not busy, I tend to do that.
3. Do you think that Time Travel is actually possible? It would be really cool to go on a time travel. It may be possible.
4. If your late, do you let people know you are running late? I try to do that.
5. Do you spend more time on the Internet or away from it? Just enough time. I do that during my me time.
6. Do you think that as you get older the days, weeks, months etc go by quicker? Sometimes it goes quicker, other times it doesn’t.
