I am not a watch person. I’d rather buy expensive bags than luxury watches. My husband thinks such is odd though as he believes watches are more worth it and are another form of investment. My mom can’t agree more. She has watches of all types actually while I only have an Omega which is already my most expensive watch to date. I would love to own a Rolex eventually though but the husband thinks I should also try to look at Cartier Watches. As I did, I found this one (below) at TheWatchery.com nice. It is actually on sale right now.

As I browsed through the site some more, I saw really cute Tag Heuer Watches that are good for everyday use. Some are even at 50% off. The husband owns one and he uses it everyday so maybe I should settle for one? His Tag Heuer watch according to him has been with him since college and until now, its still in very good condition. Now, that is one thing I should consider, right? But I also heard nice feedback on Movado Watches so I tried searching to find out how they look like and I must say, they do have really nice models good for everyday use too. Now, I have never been confused. I’ll just leave the deciding to the husband. After all, he’ll be the one paying, LOL.

Since we are leaving for Hong Kong this Monday, I made the helper clean the two luggages we will be using for the trip the other day so they were out in the hallway. Last night, I had the time of my life laughing as the little girl came rushing to our room with one of our rolling luggage full of her clothes shouting, “Let’s go, let’s go. I’m ready!”. Apparently, she packed all on her own the yaya said. She knew she was trooping to Hong Kong to visit Cinderella so she packed her stuff and even claimed that the red Samsonite Luggage is hers.

Now, it got me thinking, should I get her her own luggage? I have seen really nice kids luggage over the net and I am sure she’ll be delighted to own one of them. I wonder what type of luggage will suit her. Should I get her a something with wheels too? Or a backpack? Or better yet, get her those new luggage they call “spinner”, the newest version of the rolling luggage where one can easily maneuver through narrow aisles and crowded airports. We’ll see. I guess I need to check on a luggage buying guide first before deciding on what to get for Sophia. But I’m pretty sure she’ll love the idea of having her own luggage whenever we travel.

Is it worth it to get an Xbox 360? I have been asking myself that as no matter how my little girl loves playing her uncle’s Xbox while we are in Pampanga, I can’t help but wonder if it’ll be worth my money to buy her one. More so, with so many video game consoles available in the market now, its very confusing which one is better than the other and why. Good thing, the husband stumbled upon a video game consoles buying guide over the net so now we are getting ourselves familiar and acquainted little by little with what is available out there and which one is best for our little girl. After all, with the hard times we are having right now, every centavo must be well spent. Money don’t grow on trees you know.

But knowing this, Jon and I also know that we should learn how to enjoy our hard earned money so little splurges here and there are fine. So after reading more about Xbox 360, we found more reasons to snag an Xbox 360 now than to let it pass even if its quite expensive. The features and specs has got the husband excited too. We have never been as convinced to get one than now.

I can’t get enough of shopping for our coming baby. You see, since I am having a boy, I am inclined to buy new baby products again even if this is my second pregnancy already as most of Sophia’s stuff are colored pink or has girly themes.

Right now, I am looking at crib linens. Good thing Sophia’s wooden crib is white so I don’t need to get a new one, just a couple of crib fitted sheets and crib bumpers for protection.

I am also thinking of getting a new stroller, a travel system specifically. I hope I can make the husband agree on which one I like even if the price is quite steep. After all, a good stroller and a carseat is a necessity nowadays. What do you think?

Lastly, I am searching for the perfect baby bag to lug around with our baby boy’s stuff. The bag must be roomy and very functional and can be lugged around by either me or hubby.  I noticed that diaper bags have evolved (style-wise) tremendously these days compared to some three years ago when I had my eldest.

There you go, my online shopping list for the moment.  My day will be pretty occupied surfing I’m sure.

I have never been in my best mood to decorate our house, well, our bedroom specifically, than now. Jon had just mounted the 42 inch plasma TV on the wall last week and installed the home theater with matching blue ray dvd player yesterday. Now, all electronic stuff we need are provided for so next on my list is purchase furnishings and decor for our masters bedroom.

Our bed is still good and I have no plans of replacing it, ever. But the mattress has to go. I need a new mattress. This time, I am willing to invest in a good quality mattress that can help me have that good night sleep all the time. I am hoping to find a mattress buying guide over the net so I can familiarize myself with the different kinds of mattresses available for me and which one I need that best fits my needs.

Then, I also need to get Bed Pillows or those Therapeutic Pillows that are very popular these days. I am sure they are worth the price. And since I am pregnant, I might as well get myself a pregnancy pillow to ease the discomfort my growing tummy brings. After all, we can never have too much pillows, can we? If you are like me, I need to have atleast 3 pillows with me when I sleep. Lastly, lets shop for bed linens! We can never have enough of these too, right? I always stay on the safe side though, I make it a point to get light colored linens if not white like this gorgeous Egyptian Cotton Italian Bed Linens I found. Oh, I can’t wait! Our bedroom will look and feel like heaven soon!

Jon is off to the mall today to pick up the entertainment system at Listening in Style in Shangrila. I am too lazy to join him as I am nursing a bad cold so I just made a list of stuff I need him to get for me and the little girl. He frowned when he saw the long list, haha.

Here’s my list.

~ get me an extra compact flash memory card for my canon digital ixus camera
~ buy the cinderella lamp at Mickey’s Space which I failed to get last Sunday
~ look for an aquarium kit for the little girl as she has been begging to have a little aquarium inside her room for the longest time now
~ get the shoes I reserved at Nine West
~ buy red ribbon “mamon”, Sophia’s favorite snack to bring to school lately
~ order California Roll for take out at SumoSam

Now, is my list worth frowning?

Sophia’s most favorite friend. (as she would put it)

We were in Shangri-la Mall last Sunday with good friends Martin and Jacqui (and cutie Marla too!). We ate lunch at Clawdaddy (1st pic) and went around the mall after. Dropped by at Mickey’s Space (2nd pic) to get the inner quilt for Sophia’s comforter set and was able to buy a few assorted stuff. As we went around, I was even tempted to get the Delsey luggage I saw on sale but changed my mind the last minute. Before heading home, we let the kids ride the carousel, here’s Sophia with her yaya.

… is over.

After reading stuff about BPA, I am now switching from Avent Bottles to Dr. Brown’s. I know, there isn’t specific proof or evidence yet as to how dangerous BPA is but every mom would agree with me that its better to be safe than sorry, right? After all, I’ve got nothing to lose if I go on the safe side, aside from the few more dollars maybe. LOL.

Dr. Brown bottles are highly recommended. According to KK:Cool Tool:

The secret to Dr. Brown’s Baby Bottles, apparently, is the tube system inside — it prevents the infant from swallowing air, which makes for a happier baby (and by extension, happier parents). As baby eats and the bottle drains, the internal tube directs incoming air to above the bottle contents, so the young one’s not working against a vacuum. This is supposed to be easier on their eardrums, too. Make of it what you will, but we’ve managed to avoid the ear-infection boogeyman which seems to hit nearly every other young family we know. Also, unlike similar systems that use collapsing bags to keep out the vacuum, you don’t need to keep a supply of the little bags around.

Here’s my loot care of my sister in law from the US:

Dr. Brown’s Polypropylene Bottle - 8oz. 3pk

Dr. Brown’s Sterilizer Gift Set

Dr. Brown’s Standard Vent Inserts

Dr. Brown’s Standard Vent Reservoirs

After seeing celebrity kids like Suri, Violet and Shiloh tote their Correlle baby dolls as shown here, I can’t help but want to get one for my little girl too. It’s the closest she’ll probably ever get to having celebrity status, HAHA. Seriously, ain’t they just the cutest? Sophia loves playing pretend too and I’m sure she’ll love to own one of these almost-for-real-dolls. I hope to find such in Hongkong next month.

I’m also planning to get Sophia these toys if available in Toys R Us HK:

V.Smile TV Learning System Pink

Barbie and Pup Styling Head

Bubble Mower XLT

LeapFrog Leapster Learning System: Metallic Pink/Purple (Rectangular)

Disney Princess Enchanted Tales Karaoke Machine
