Thursday is Date Night

Thursday has become a date night for the family. Last week we watched Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted and just this past Thursday we watched Ice Age 4 Continental Drift. I liked Madagascar better. I think I was the one laughing the loudest and even laughing more than my daughter. Nico was with us also and for now, because he is just two, it is still free so its a YAY for us! This wasn’t his first time in a movie theater. We watched Sammy’s World before but he just slept through the entire movie. I think I did too! All in all, it was a fun night. The penguins and the chimps are still funnay as ever. Hearing from Fei “This is the best night ever” makes me smile. Although she always say it whenever she is happy. On the way home she can’t stop talking and telling me all the scenes that she liked the most and she even made me promise that we should watch Brave. I said yes because I like to watch that too! Am I more excited than her? Maybe! LOL!
Our next date night.

Less to None

Recently, I checked my Digital Scrap folder and I felt guilty for scrapping less and less as the months go by. I have so many notes on my diary of things I need to scrap but most of them are often left neglected. Even my yearbook of 2011 is not yet finished. There are still tons of things that I want to include: our Christmas Vacation, Nico’s Birthday and so many more. Usually I scrap when everybody is asleep but it seems that as I get older its harder for me to stay awake until 12am. I remember staying up until 2am almost everyday and I was just fine in the morn.

My list of “To Do” things is just getting longer and longer by the day. Where should I start, how will I start, when do I have the time? I need to prioritize. Now. Is anyone out there in the same situation I am in? I think procrastination is a gift that I welcomed with both arms wide open :) Sigh…

Happy Sunday Freebie

Hey everyone! Happy Sunday! Almost everyone in the world is having their free time today but, here in the Mid East, it’s our first day of the week. Also, it’s a special day today because it’s hubby’s birthday and what better way to celebrate it than a freebie!

Outlined no.9

To my Bebe, Happy, happy birthday! Thank you for being so awesome in every way. You know that I love you more in every passing day, right? Hmmm… that sounded like a greeting card. But, you know that is true. Love you, sweetie!

Lazy Friday Night

As I am writing this, my youngest is running around the house like he ate a kilo of sugar. I don’t know where he gets his energy but I am amazed because he looks like he doesn’t even get tired at all. Sometimes, I do wish I have that kind of energy for the whole day so I can do everything I want.

Well, it’s a lazy Friday night here and we just had our shawarma dinner. I thought that I should share my latest layout. Its about the little monster :) It’s a good day when I get to finish a scrap page. I hope you’re having a great weekend!

funny story and additional knowldge

I just remembered a funny story that my friend Jinky told me a long time ago and I just want to share it. Its funny how people from different countries use the word “expired”. My friend Jinky got a phone call looking for our colleague who recently passed away (I will just name her JJ). This was the conversation…

Telemarketer: Good Morning, may I speak with JJ?
Jinky: Im sorry, but she passed away last month.
Telemarketer was silent.

Jinky: Hello?… Im sorry but she’s no longer with us.
Telemarketer: Ooohhhh…… Will she be visiting you anytime soon?
Jinky was ?!?! what ?!?!

Jinky: I hope not!!!
Telemarketer confused.

Telemarketer: I need to speak with her. Do you have any contact with her?
Jinky totally confused/annoyed and laughing a bit.

Jinky: I told you, she passed away. She’s no longer with us. She’s on the other side of the world.
Telemarketer probably clueless on what Jinky was saying. Silence.
Jinky: She’s dead?

Telemarketer: Ohhh, you mean she expired!

At last! They fianlly understood each other!!! This might not be funny to others but this was something new to me and I was laughing so hard when I heard this. I quickly researched this one. I asked a colleague from India and apparently the appropriate and respectful way to say someone died is to say “He/She expired”. They don’t use “passed away”. And you just use “died” or “dead” when you refer to animals or plants. So, now I know…. :) Something I learned and will not be surprised again :)
