a good vibe

Today, I have closed a total of $1,337.01 from a client! Mental pat on the back. Yahoo.

hello, Saturday!

I cancelled out two dates for the weekend as I have last week, too.
"What is wrong with you?" you might ask. Well, I need to catch up with some of my ME time again. I've been loving it a lot. There are a lot of dates to re-schedule, so I'm not worried.
So, hello Saturday, I know you miss me. Time for spring cleaning!

Need to pack all clothes Car stocked up in the corner for several months and give it to a nearby church. My cabinet filled with all the books need some clearing space, too. I know I'll miss my Enid Blytons and Harry Potter books but the children at GCIM have better imagination of magic, gnomes, elves and fairies than I'll ever have. They deserve the chance that I had reading these wonderful books. My magazines that I have been setting aside for good recipe references need to go too. There'll be better recipes in the latest food magazines and webbies. I will also have to let go of my favorite clothes (sniff-sniff), I keep telling myself that there will always be something better to lookout for and giving it to people who need it more is an amazing feeling.

I also promised my brother that we'd hit one of our favorite restos for dinner as he is loving one of the juiciest steaks there. I'll have to text Arn and Car if they'd like to join us.

I have to finish my christmas list and compare gift items online and also at the mall. I have several Multiply sites that I know of who offers a fabulous line of gift ideas. My friend Donna gave me a wonderful chocolate lotion when she shopped online last christmas.

The thing is, I'm worried that shopping online might be a cause of delay on giving my gifts at christmas time. My Kuya constantly remind me (since August) to shop early so by December, all we had to do was deliver the gifts and avoid the christmas rush. Among the six of us, I'm the only who lacks preparation in preparing gifts because I like buying things by the bulk. If my brother knew, he will shake his head in disappointment as well as mom.

After tomorrow night's dinner, I'll be catching up on my favorite episodes online on Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill, this will have to be an all-nighter!
