The man does not like to dress up, not even for work. I’ve told him time and again, that the old chinese saying goes “people first see what you are dressed in.. before seeing you as a person”. Even buying shirts and pants, i need to keep harping at him.. to go get some extras or new ones. So much so that after being together for 7 yrs.. i too am being a real slacker when it comes to dressing up. But try as i might, he just wouldn’t dress up..!
Gifts Of Love
My mom loves buying jewelry as gift. She claims and firmly believes that nobody can resist a piece of beautifully made jewelry. She believes in giving gifts with value, if that make any sense to you. So each time we have a wedding or a celebration of a new born, jewelry it is.
Necklaces are bought most by my mum, the reason is because you don’t have to worry about whether it should fix the neck or not, because you can wear it long or short. Wherelse if it was a ring, it has to fit the fingers.. or if it was a bracelet, it had to fit the wrist. I love pearl necklaces, the more the merrier, one can’t own just one pearl necklace, as far as I am concerned.
These days, you can really get nice pieces of necklaces gift at very affordable prices, plus they are very well designed and lovely to wear. I can’t wait to get my hands on a Jade Dragon Pendant & Necklace, and it’s not expensive either. Christmas is just round the corner, I’ll hint to my mum.
Man & Their Toys
Every Sunday when visiting my in-laws.. the first thing that greets us is the sight of my brother-in-law fixing his 4 wheeler or my father-in-law’s truck or car or something. That man just love to get dirty.. ! and all he ever wants for Christmas are body shop supplies. Yes, you heard me right..! that man loves his automotive tools. If you need anything to be fixed.. you know who you should be friends with. Richard the handyman he is.
Investing For The Future
For 10 of years, we hear the Americans coming to Canada to buy summer homes and investing in properties in Canada. With the loonie on all time high currently, I am sure.. Canadians like us… are seriously thinking of also investing for our future. Afterall, this is the best time ..?? no..?? Arizona real estate, understands the importance of your investments and they are the professionals with well informed proposition for you.

Health & Fitness
The man is into riding his bike for health reasons. After turning 30, i think he puts on weight alot easier, usually if the weather is cold, he exercises on the stationary bike that we have at home but during the summer.. and late spring, he would be jolly about bringing out his mountain bike and go riding for an hour or so. Being asthmatic and all, one cannot be too careful, so a pulse oximeter, is always with him during his biking outdoors. The one that he has is hospital-grade accurate, and very affordable, so I’m happy and so is he, afterall, he hates it when i keep nagging him.
Cozy & Affordable
Taking vacations need not be expensive and one need not stay in 5 star hotels. I say this because Bed and Breakfast are not only popular in the Western part but they are so much more affordable and personable. The Asian hospitality is not seen in big hotels here in the United States and Canada but stay in a bed and breakfast, you’ll be remembered for a long time by the innkeepers. I love staying in bed and breakfast because they are so homely, especially if you are on a business trips for a few weeks.
A Better Monitor
Two years ago during Christmas, the man wanted to upgrade and buy himself a new monitor, of course there are loads of it in the market, so being the techie in our household and of course an owner to a computer store, he did a little research and what do you know.. ! He chose a viewsonic monitor, and to be honest with you, i didn’t know that viewsonic’s monitor was good either.. because most people go for the popular and branded ones, but according to the man, in terms of prices a 20″ for $300 was a bargain at that time. And now we will only recommend and buy Viewsonic.
Wearing Personalities
As far as i am concerned.. babies and toddlers are cute whatever they put on.. but to wear their personalities.. or moods on their t-shirts are just the best ever inventions. Baby clothes needs to be super soft because babies are so fragile and their skin are so soft .. you really don’t want to hurt them with any coarse materials. All mummies are no different than the next, they want to give the best to their children. I’m sure if your babies can talk, they will appreciate it that you are giving them their individuality.
Paris City Breaks
A girlfriend who was recently married .. this year.. just came home from her honeymoon to Paris. Flying from Detroit into Paris, well actually she flew from Richmond to Detroit – a 90mins flight and then from Detroit to Paris. Taking one of those Paris City Breaks, Paris is undeniably the most beautiful and dynamic capital cities in the world. When one think of Paris .. one thinks of love in the air. Good food, good exhibitions, good shows (cultural) and musical events. When I think of Paris .. i think of both the old and new coming together.. to give tourist like me the most adventurous and memorable time of all, in this lifetime.
No one can resist Paris as it is quite the romantic getaway for not only weddings, honeymoons but for any special occasion. Visit the famous Eiffel Tower during both the day and night and see for yourself, the breathtaking view in awe. The famous Latin Quarter, Champs-Elysees and of course the world class Louvre Palais Royal, a station in Paris Metro are not to be missed when one is in Paris. Expect designer labels at bargain prices and elegant boutiques when shopping in Paris. And don’t forget those free-lance artist who will whipped out their brushes and do a quick portrait of you, while you enjoy a cuppa cappuccino in cafe on very corner. Sample all sorts of cuisine in Paris, eat at Nodaiwa Paris for the best Unagi kabayaki or have some steak frites lunch at Le Severo. Want to try something more extraordinary..?? why not the a Michelin starred restaurant Les Fables de la Fountaine.
Yes.. I’m bragging as you can see I’ve been to Paris quite a few times. And Paris Weekend Breaks is still on my agenda every chance I can get.
Garden Furnishing
Living in Canada is wonderful because we always gets lots of land with our house. And like any Canadians .. we love the outdoors very much. The BBQs .. and the evening get together during those summery nights are things we look forward to .. every summer. It is really a great way to stay in touch with your friends and family. And if you know me, I’ve always love big family gatherings because i come from a really small family.. with not too many relatives.
So when we bought our very first home here in Nova Scotia, I wanted to make sure.. that i get some quality garden furniture and what is better than teak garden furniture, that is not only durable but stylish as well. We have teak benches around the outdoor fireplace, so that the kids can gather around.. and play their guitars and sing songs together. And my mother-in-law just love my teak tables around the BBQs .. they are so easy to clean.. and so solid.
All these furnitures can be left outdoors without having to worry that they might rot, it’s natural oils is made suitable for use of any weather and even when not treated, it still works last wonderfully.
