I’ve been doing a lot of my shopping online and a friend recommended that I cheack out musician’s friend the world’s largest online music gear company for the guitar and amp that my nephew wanted for his birthday. They do have a wide variety to choose from and most importantly, they do ship to Canada. I love that the prices are reasonable as well and we found drums, amps, guitars and music software and more stuff. It’s definitely an online playground for musicians out there. And now that I know where to buy all my music gear, I’ll be sure to share it with my friends who needs music gear for themselves or loved ones.
A Gift From PB
My skin is really dry during the winter, so when I mentioned to PB that a local salon here carries it, he bought it for me after I had my facial.
The body butter is different from the ones that I’ve been using and for the price of this bottle, I’m hoping that it will help to ease up my dry and ugly looking skin.
Definitely nice to have a spouse who can afford all kinds of things for you. I may miss home and the food but it certainly balances things.
My Favorite Kinda Shoes
My shoes came! woohoo!!! i loved this shoes so much and had wanted to get a pair for the longest time but because of the custom charges, I am adamant not to pay a lot for custom. So I waited for it to go on sale and it really did and for the ones that I wanted.
And I didn’t have to pay for custom because it came by USPS and not by Fedex or UPS. Love ! love ! love! and yes, it’s all leather there.
Appreciating The TEachers
So Chloe had handed me a list of teachers and TAs and staff from school she wanted to thank. And if you know my Chloe, you will know how much she enjoys school except for the first year with her french teacher and the little boy who keeps touching her bum from another school. Subsequently, we never had any trouble and she enjoys all her teachers very much. Chloe is always grateful for all the attention that her teachers gives her and those given to her by Mr Purdy her principal as well as Mrs Rose, who takes care of her lunch everyday.
She listed all the reasons why she wanted to thank everyone on her list and she even reminded me that she wants to thank Mrs OB because she is her favorite teacher. She loves her current teachers as well, Mrs Eyre and Mrs Bridgeo and have nothing but good things to say about her teachers. She loves her TAs Ms Holly and Ms Patsy because of them, she is able to concentrate in class while they take care of other students. This year, she also has a french teacher – Mdm Rhyno and Chloe just adores her – Chloe said that because of Mdm Rhyno , she loves her french.
I am so grateful for all of Chloe’s teachers, past and present and of course the librarian and Mrs Rose, who is a friendly face to Chloe when she is in school. They all make attending school so much fun for Chloe and she loves school so much, you can never find another happier kid than Chloe when it comes to going to school.
Every year we try to do a little something for all these special educators, I know we don’t do enough to show how much we appreciate them but we try every year. From the bottom of our heart, we want to thank them for helping Chloe grow into a wonderful kid, because of them, Chloe will be a fine young lady in the future.
Repotting
For the longest time, I never had time to plant or beautify my lawn or garden. Plus everytime, I’m ready to do it, the bugs and mosquitoes are in full force. Last year, a friend made a huge flower planter for us – of course we paid him for the trouble, so this year, I’m repotting some flowers on my own. I’m really enjoying it so much , as my current neighbors are wonderful people. And they are so good with the kids and never sweat the small stuff. Chloe would go over to play with their little boy and no complains.
I’m loving the potting and repotting of plants, my MIL would be proud of me if she was alive today.
Spoilt To The Max
I finally got to open the goodies that I had bought from Halifax some 4 months ago during March break. Yes, I had been so busy with all the things that were gifted to me by friends and advertisers that I didn’t have time to look into the stuff that I had bought some 4 months ago – such a slacker I am. But it’s actually only because I’m so blessed with all the things that Chloe and I have been receiving from friends, home and advertisers, so there was no hurry at all to open the stuff that I had bought.
But here they are, cosmetic and skin care products that I had thought I needed when I was in the city with my g/f and family. Oh plus , I did go for a trip to LA for GenCon , so I had a lot of goodies that I had brought back with me too from sponsors.
Some samples that came with the stuff I bought.
Did I tell you that I’m a Lush fan? Yes, i loved this brand and hope that one day, I get to be sponsored by them.
Urban Decay Naked palette, since I am trying on eye make up for my vlogging purpose.
More skin care.
Skin care again.
Skin care but yet to try it.
More samples.
Good for traveling.
Free gifts – because I bought like $400 worth of skin care during this trip.
More gifts.
More samples and free gifts ! holy moly right!
Easter Gifts
As I’m sure you all know by now, that I’ve so many great friends from around the world and some in this town. So during Easter, we try to get some things for the kids. This year, I was able to return the kindness of a girlfriend from Malaysia – she had been so good to me throughout the years that I’ve been in Canada and I was only too happy to look for some kindle eggs for her kids that she can’t find in Malaysia and mail it to them.
This year, I wanted to go out and buy chocolates for everyone but unfortunately, Chloe had been ill with a stomach pain and tooth ache, so I was stuck at home with her. But I did managed to get the above for my g/f in Malaysia.
Jewelry Shopping For 20th Anniversary
We were in the city a few weeks ago, during the March break, PB and I took the opportunity to look for a good Lazare diamond for our anniversary. 20 yrs together is no easy feat like he said, so we look at rings and I still wanted a Lazare or nothing. Yes, I’m quite fussy when it comes to diamonds and gold jewelry. For diamonds I only want the Lazare diamonds and gold I only wear the 916 gold.
And yes, we did find one that I fell in love with immediately and PB bought it for me without even asking for the price. It was worth the money we paid for it because it shows how much he really wants to celebrate our life together. And this ring will be passed down to Chloe of course and to her daughter and so forth. I look forward to many more years together with this man.
Test Driving New Cars
We are having finding them to look for a new car. Our Ford Focus still serves us well but it’s almost 10 years old now, so we decided that it’s time to get a new car. Also when we travel, we need a bigger car now since we have Hyunjin with us on almost all our vacation for the last 1.5 yrs. So PB said, we need a bigger car, so that it can fit all our luggage and stuff we need to buy. I was very touched that PB is thinking of Hyunjin too when he is getting the new car because we don’t wanna leave Hyunjin in town while we go on vacation right?
Hopefully, we find the right car, at the right price and of course it has to be auto this time, so that either Hyunjin or I can drive it too. So come back soon and check out which car we are buying. Thus far, we have tried the Chevy Impalla and Toyota, we also like the Honda but the Mazda isn’t too bad either.
Kid’s Cutlery From Advertiser
I complained to my private advertiser from USA about not finding the right cutlery for Chloe to bring to school for lunch because the only ones I could find were for babies or toddlers. So guess what arrived in the mail this morning at the store? 2 sets of cutlery for Chloe! woohoo!! I’m indeed grateful for my advertiser whom I’ve worked with for many years now, this private advertiser had always given good paying work and after so many years of working together, we turned into friends.
While many people feel that working online is a tough job, I enjoyed it tremendously, not only because of the work and money but because I not only find good friends thru’ advertising but I get to try out a lot of things before writing about them. As the years go by, doing what I do online, I know which advertisers are awesome and can give you leads to better paying jobs and which advertisers gives you a row of steady jobs throughout the year. I’m grateful for all of them.
