Horseriding

Author: JOY  //  Category: sports, sports apparel  //  Comments (0)  //  Add Comment

One thing I never tried in my life is to ride a horse. Maybe I just can’t remember that I had the chances but I didn’t bother to try.  I find it really amazing to see to a woman riding a horse and even compete in a horse race. I find their outfit cool like their breeches and rodeo coats. The riding boots, riding helmets and most especially the horse.
Melbourne Cup is coming and it’s the horse racing time. Australian ladies to dress up fabulously for this event. I wonder if there are girls participating in Melbourne Cup horse race. I haven’t tried watching such kind of even. Maybe I will consider watching next time to see how it goes.

Skirt for me

Author: JOY  //  Category: shopping, women  //  Comments (0)  //  Add Comment

I just realized that I don’t have long skirts when I checked my wardrobe. I was in need of long white skirt because of the retreat I attended last week. It was a Marian Retreat. A study about the life of the Immaculate Conception and her roots. It was a very uplifting retreat. A good food for the soul. I will now put in my shopping list to buy white long skirt or maybe dress for I will be needing it in the next retreat I will be attending. It will be sooner or later.

Stainless steel containers

Author: JOY  //  Category: home, home stuff  //  Comments (0)  //  Add Comment

How do you find containers made of stainless steel? Probably most of us find it very nice because it doesn’t turn rusty, correct me if I’m wrong.  I even heard about wine barrels made of steel.  I can’t imagine storing wine in a drum. How big will be the drum used to store wine? Pardon me if ever I misunderstood about it but that’s how I get it. Well, maybe those stainless steel barrels for wine are not as big as what I had in mind. Maybe the same as the size of some water containers.  Hm, so curious to see such thing in real.

Rushing from here and there

I had a long day and it’s amazing that I don’t get tired yet. Most of my days during winter were like so sleepy, tired and moody especially during nighttime. Even daytime I can’t stop my mouth to yawn and there were those days that I can’t help myself to take nap in the afternoon which I don’t usually do because of my busy schedule with my kids.
Early in the morning, I was in need to rush to post office to send some payments. Sending my mother money too for her check up because she got swollen face due to dental problem. It has something to do with her false teeth I think. She got short with her pension. I just hope she’ll be alright.
After post office, I supposed to come with a friend to a certain market but one staff from my kids school called asking about my middle child’s head lice. He just got head lice and I already treated him, had his hair cut very short and then the school called when everything is alright. But still I thought he still got head lice so I went to pharmacy and look for something to treat his head lice again. Oh what a waste of money. There’s no more head lice when I check again his hair.

By the way, I bought gold fish for my little one because he requested it last week and I promised to get him one. I also paid a lay-by jewelry because I was afraid it’s also lost just like what happened to my friend’s jewelry. Someone claimed it and paid the remaining balance. Poor my friend, she still didn’t get a response for her complain. Isn’t it so unfair? She still got the receipt of the down payment and she can’t get it back when in fact she doesn’t get the jewelry. I got mine safe and sound.
Moreover, I let my little boy played in the small playland at Chadstone shopping centre for an hour.  Before heading home, we had a slight shopping. Bought a set of tissue holder and toilet bowl cleaner. Son was sleeping in the car until we got home. I just let him sleep in the car than to woke him up and he won’t sleep back anymore. I left two windows slightly open but locked all doors.  Checking him once in a while. He woke up after an hour. Good thing he got a good sleep. He was happy to see his gold fish all set up. Big brothers were happy to see the new pet with fin also.

Furthermore, I dropped the kids after school to their Taekwondo lessons and I went to a friend’s house to catch up with her for an hour while waiting for my boys to finished their martial art class. I had a cup of chamomile tea and then rushed back to pick up my boys. Went home blogging, facebooking and checking my kids assignments. Oh I forgot to tell I watered my plants which I planted two weeks ago. I’ll show you the photo of my plants. Actually, I only want to tell a story about my plants but my story goes a long way and ended with my plants below.

I took the photo right after I replanted them from one pot to another. Now they’re growing very good and healthy. I’ll take another photo soon whether you like it or not. Oh dear what a silly post for today. Pardon myself friends, readers and visitors.

I miss shopping @ VS

Author: JOY  //  Category: shopping, women  //  Comments (0)  //  Add Comment

It’s been a while since I haven’t shopping online most especially VS. I used to shop lingerie, dresses, and shoes there. After my credit card expired, can’t shop there anymore because they don’t accept paypal payments. I was spending too much for shipping before especially if I wanted an item badly because I chose to pay the rush shipping options. How I wish VS will expand their stores here in Melbourne Australia.
Well it’s not only them selling cute and good qualities of lingerie anyway. I still can live without VS. A business-minded friend of mine even used to buy in a wholesaler shop of lingerie and then offered it to some of her other friends. She gets good profit out of it.

Vivid Dreams

One night I was walking in unknown place with unfamiliar faces. What struck me the most is the metal building that shines through my eye? It was gleaming and enticing to get into that building. When I tried to get inside I could not open the door and suddenly I was awake. That was one of my vivid dreams so far. They told me that dreams have its own meaning and until now I did not bother to know it.

Wise Driving

When I was a first time driver somehow I find it difficult. Thanks to roadside assistance club because they were very helpful. Every time I had queries during that time through the net I can access on them. That is why I have a lot of courage in driving right now. Others thought that I know everything but did you know that we just need to be a wise and smart driver.

Souvenirs

Souvenirs are one of the hard to find when it comes to prepare a party. One month from now my two boys will be celebrating their birthday. We were thinking to hold a join party for both of them. Aside of choosing menus, it is hard to decide what kind of souvenir to be given to our guest. Good thing that I am exposed on web searching. As early as now I saw a personalized footballs which really fits to the party of my two boys.

Father’s Day

My father-in-law’s birthday is coming up and I am still undecided with what gift to give him.    I know that he is a fan of cigars and tobacco, but he is also a fan of sport shooting.    I was thinking of getting him Cohiba cigars, but it is a little bit out of my budget.    I could get him a bunch of sport shooting magazines, but I don’t have any idea which ones are good.     Anyways, I am still shopping around to get him a gift that he will appreciate.

Clean Face

Author: JOY  //  Category: Beauty tip  //  Comments (0)  //  Add Comment

There is nothing that we could ever wish for if we have a clean face. We don’t bother putting a concealer in our face because we need to hide a pimple or acne. But what are we going to do if we have a pimple specially acne. Acne is triple headed pimple that we could even hide because of its size. The best acne treatment is to cleanse, tone and moisturize our face. Try to avoid scratches on face so that it will not be infected.
