    Hubby and I , only had one child. She’s our daughter, who turned 26 years old just last December 25, Christmas day for us Catholics.

    Actually, We didn’t expect her to be born December 25, since the doctor sai […]

    • That is indeed a very proud moment, very well done. Congratulations to you and your daughter. Even I wanted to be a doctor but I changed my mind lol, and now I am just an accountant.

      • Thank you. We really are indeed proud parents. Especially that she we have raised her to be a God fearing woman.

        Oh, please don’t say JUST an accountant. Each of our profession has a different way of contributing to society. Each one is important, to complete the cycle of things in our lives.

    • Congrats!Very proud of you, for sure. So glad to hear this, a joyful moment. @harpreet singh good to be an accountant too, a good career provided we love our jobs, all jobs are a good job, for sure!

      • Thank you. And we are so happy that after 9 years, we are through with providing for her. She will be soon on her own. 🙂

        Yes, I told @HARPREET SINGH , not to say JUST an accountant. Each of our jobs are important to make the society a better place to live in. We all have our own contributions to the world having our different jobs. There is dignity in labor as they say.

    • God bless your daughter. I’d like to add that it is truly a blessing to everyone when men and women are given the opportunity to study and to become “the best that they can be” at whatever occupation they choose as a life profession.

      • @Treathyl FOX

        Thank you. Indeed, the best wealth that we can give our children is giving them the freedom to choose the best course for themselves and enjoy doing the job for the rest of their lives and show their best on it.

    • @Michelle

      Thank you. Indeed she is a talented one. Maybe she took it from me. Joke , joke , joke

      We never expected her to pursue Medicine actually. We though that when he graduated on BS Biology, she will already be contented with it.

      But she really has the ambition of being a lawyer actually. But my father a lawyer who eventually became a judge discouraged her because there was a scholarship waiting for her for the science related course so she took BS Biology then pursued Medicine.

      At least she also likes so much to be a doctor.

    • For those who can afford never care about how much to spend. What’s on their mind is happiness and fulfillment of their dream , yet there are practical people that better like to weed simpler and have the most money save to start for a family.

      Thanks for sharing this factual happenings in our society this time.Write more , blog more and earn more,lol.

      • Well for the rich, money doesn’t matter indeed, as long as they will be happy with it.

        But for those that are on budgets, they really choose to be more practical.

        And that’s what me and hubby did when we got married. It was just a simple wedding with just the family, closest relatives, friends and officemates present.

        At least we already have appliances in our rented apartment when we went there to start our married lives.

        We didn’t regret having the simple wedding. But simple thought it may be , the guests really appreciated the foods that were served. We just added lechon and chicken macaroni salad.

    • You have a taste for antiques my friend. I don’t.

      Even with the designs of houses, I am not into the antique ones. I like the contemporary ones with minimalist touch, so the house will have the illusion of being spacious.

      I don’t like furniture that are darkly colored mostly brown as antiques are. I like furniture that have colors that makes the house appear bright and spacious.

      But good thing I don’t have a taste for antiques because they are expensive. he he he

    • Dear @Dina, thanks for reading and commenting my blog. I love to have you here.
      I believe you going to cash out this month end too, right? Glad to seeing it happened to you and me.
      The reason why I love those old stuffs, first, I think it is a waste if just throw them away or into the dustbin. It is not environment friendly, and wasted of the limited resources we have on the earth, right?
      It just a choice of lifestyle, yeah, I go for postmodern style too sometimes, it depends. You are right, we are all try to be minimalist touch, but having said that, I think my house is a bit messy with some old books stuck in my book shelves recently, sigh!
      Again, you are right again, I think my hunted goods are not antique too, as I am not affordable, I just shopped and hunted for old and unwanted goods of other, I guess. Haha!

    • I love antiques or second hand finds. I visit the flea market once a week usually.

    • I love second hand hunting someone’s trash is someone’s treasure goodwill stores are a great source of second hand treasures. I’ve got a friend that was remodeling her kitchen she wanted a unique island and found a second dresser made of cherry she sanded down restrained and put a granite top on now it is the showpiece of her kitchen. Yard sales are great spots for hunters as well. Nothing like finding a nice piece taking it home and making it into a great piece of furniture.

    • I enjoy attending formal weddings and wearing formal clothing. I would never wear pants/jeans to a wedding. I think dressing up once in a while is fun and interesting. It’s a good occasion to wear a dress and get all dressed up.

    • dear @Michelle,thanks for reading my post. I almost ignore your comment here as there is no notification to alert me. How I wish there is a notification feature set up by LB team.

      And, there is no comment notification at the dashboard too, so we know nothing on the progress of our blogs. I feel a bit sad on this, hope there will be a little bit improvement from the team of LB in the future.
      Back to your question, what I send to my daughter for lunch, right? I don’t send, will ask her to bring along in the morning, she just need some snack for tea break or recess time only. She will go home at 1.00p.m, so no lunch box needed for this year.

      I try to reduce the carbohydrate content food for her, as she is a bit overweight and this caused she has foot ache.
      I try to give her more vegetables and fruits beside some cakes, noodles, chapatti. 😛

      Do you still remember what did your mummy prepare you during your school time?
