What a day!

Yesterday was a tiring day yet very productive! The boys and me went to visit the school. Since it’s a new school for this school year, we have to go there earlier and check some information. We already went there twice but we had to go back for signing of papers and then insurances. We were late actually because I woke up late! But the directress of the school was very accommodating that she gave us hand outs, school books and drawing books for the little boy so that we can talk. My little peanut was behave so, he was not a problem too:) We were asked a few questions. If it’s his first time to go to school. We said it’s his 3rd year of schooling. He went at another International School already so the little boy was not interviewed. They thought it’s his first time! He was called twice for some questions and the Daddy was so proud when he was asked who’s his favorite hero! He answered, My Daddy right away! Of course, I was smiling too! He was asked again if he like going to school. He just said, yes! So, we will go back once more for the final payment which is making me crazy for the tuition fees! International School is kinda very expensive here. His monthly tuition fee is $1,400 US plus the piano lesson which all in all cost us $1,550 per month! We have to pay for the registration fee of another $1,600 for the whole year including some insurances and miscellaneous fees! So, we have to shell out $3K plus! Oh well, that’s the way it is!

After the school stuff, we head malling and had a fabulous dinner! I didn’t bring my camera so there were no photos! But I also got a new Cell Phone Accessories which I am liking! I also saw the iphone 3G in the mall satnds! It’s still in my list for 2008. haha The husband asked me if I want it but I said no! lol I don’t use mobile phones all the time though..Besides, we have too much important things to pay. Specially that my little boy will go back to school next week! I’m excited of the new school really! I’ll take pics of the school for sure next visit:D

Chatting Online

I have to say that free chat are one of the best things that makes internet cool! As for me, I can talk to my old friends from far away places and still keep in touch what they are up to these days! We’re moslty living abroad and online chats is the best thing ever happened! Of course, new friends are just the icing in the cake:D Aside from talking to your siblings back home if you live abroad, you can meet new peeps! Other’s like it adult chat or any chat lines! It’s one of the coolest if you ask me;)

School and Such

With my little boy going back to school next week. I thought, why not get ready the things for the fun activities they will have this Autumn Season! I remember last year they had to go potato digging in another city. But it was more like a farm. There were lots of kids went there. I thought it’s only their school but not! It was fun though. I remember the husband was there too:D I was preggy that time so, I was not able to attend:) The the most fun activity they had was the Halloween Party! the husband, me and my brother was there! I love the fun games and the little boy wore his Peter Pan costume! I also like the Halloween treats the school gave to the children! Of course, I was given some loots too because I was about to give birth:) I posted photos in my Flickr! I already asked my little boy what he wants this Halloween Party and he said he wants to be Jack Sparrow this time! I need to order that costume earlier because that was supposed to be his costume last year!

Anyway, I’m sure you know how excited we are for the upcoming class! He’s going to a big school this time! It’s a bit pricey for the tuition fees but it’s International School so ,it’s still okey:) How about you Mommies? What’s up for your kiddos?

And voila! I found some very deals and I’m loving their fusrnitures! I think I’m going to toss our dining table and get this dining Room tables instead! haha We live here for quite a while now and we changed house furnitures the past 2 years only. Although, they’re still very nice condition and nice..But with all this stunning piece of coffee tables, Dining Room Tables and a lot more is making me think if we really need to change the old ones!

Plastic Woes

The past weeks, I have worried too much about my credit card! It has charging me interest when I am not using that card for anything. I already asked the husband to find me a new one. The downside is that I already paid the annual fees for that card. But whatever, I won’t settle for something that’s giving me a total headache! Some credit cards, are just like that! I mean, why the hidden fees? I am paying the monthly bill if I am using that. So, I guess it’s goodbye,right? LOL Last weekend, the husband helped me find something that has low interest credit card. Which eventually can be used for paying bills! He actually found it over the net and I checked it out and it’s really helping me heaps! This how it works. You can research just about any kind of cards you are looking for that suits for you. Either it’s for a business credit cards or pre-paid debit cards, they have it all for us! I like it because I can actually compare it side by side what are the benefits of that and this. You can check the billing period and all that usual stuff! Then you can apply right after online! It’s secure of course so, there is no worries there! 

Hmm..I guess, I need to read some of the informations there and just avail one! But first, I have to close my credit card that I havehere. I don’t have problems because there’s no pendingdebts there! I can always say goodbye!

Summer Vacations

Did I ever shared here that hubby has been to Cyprus and Greece already? Yup, he did when he was still single! I always joked him he should have waited for me:) He’s been to Santorini Island too and my… he can talk whole day about how beautiful Cyprus and Greece! So, when we were planning our Summer vacation early this year, we have in our list Cyprus and Greece in Santorini. I soo wanted to go there actually. But time wouldn’t let us and money wise too. So, we’re thinking that maybe in a year or two! And if ever we are going, we should really check Amathus! I saw some very nice Amathus holiday villas and I am sure that they’re offering great and affordable prices for this holiday! Hubby says, Cyprus is where the East and the West meets! Beautiful beaches which beach holidays in Cyprus  is a must, breathtaking mountains and such beautiful coutnryside! I can only imagine that I’ll surely be taking photos allday long:) We can also swing by Limassol where the husband stayed for 2 weeks! I’ll check his old photos next time. I think it’s here. Not just sure if it was left back home. He said that there are many Family friendly villas in Limassol.  If we are going, I’d love to just stay in villas too! It can be a nice way to spend your time and affordable for the budget too!

Anyway, I have to run now. There are still things needed to do. If you ever thought of having a summer vacation at the last minute you can defintiely book your villas at the site I just shared! There are great informations that are available for checking out like this the Cyprus tourism website that I chanced up as well! Have fun:)

That’s my Answers!

+ Sometimes. If I have a lot of time in my hand. I actually just did a couple of days ago. Remembering how my life has changed..And how my boys is so much important to me:D

Happy Days! Toddles! 

Who doesn’t like Shoes?

The husband asked me why is it the girls love to shop? I said, well, we just like it! And we can never get tired of it:D Specially if it’s a great pair of good looking shoes in the shoe rack? I was searching for new pairs of shoes the other day because summer season is about to end and it means that sale are all over around specially in the net! Yeah, online shopping is way helpful for me these days. I don’t have help here so, not going out will spare me time to just do household chores rather then go out. I still love shopping in department store, who don’t? But try talking to a Stay At Home Mom!  

Anyway, I am thankful that I saw this Shopwiki store online! In there, you can find anything you want from shoes, clothes, any kind of books for my little boys, gadegts for the husband! I mean just about everything and anything you want it’s there! I am in need of a a few ballet flats and I am glad I saw this store online.  I was looking for childrens boots and they have it too! Me, happy now:) I might just get it from here. From now on, I know where to look for anything. Don’t you just love online store like this? It’s pure heaven to me! I’ll ask some of my girlfriends maybe they want something in the shipping and we can split that one!

I saw this a while back and I just want to share how fabulous they are! I asked the husband to buy me a new printer because the one we got 4 years ago wasn’t in good shape! So he got me a new HP! And with the help of some HP coupons, he got a great deal and in a very good price! I love that printer now. right now, they have tons of coupons that you might be interested! With a going back to school soon, I’m sure you will have a gerat time aquiring those nice deals! And one more thing, he also got a new phone service while he was there. It’s always a good thing that he got his own when he travels around. He got a great deal and by the help of AT&T promo codes, we got it way lesser prices!

Baby Stuff

Most of the day when I don’t have much things to do or my house chores is done. I love surfing the net looking for baby stuff! Of course, I am a Mommy of 2 lil boys. So what do you expect me to do? I have a few sites that I always visit every day. For my baby and for the big brother. I also have mine of course but if it’s for the boys, I make sure that it’s worth my time. The other day, I came across this Cloth Diaper on sale and I think it’s a good deal considering that it’s new and never been used! I already have new ones that I bought a few weeks ago for the little peanut but I was thinking of buying new sets again now! I think this community has a great potential for those Mommies looking for cheaper baby stuff or handicrafts made! I think I will check and see what are the other things they sell there! It does looks interesting:)
