Week 12 - The Happiness Project

Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking everyday. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast. -Norman Vincent Peale

As I reviewed my entries for this week, I found so many good things to be thankful about.

Have a break! Have a Kit-Kat!

Goodies from Japan

Solo trips nowadays are dangerous for me. I always leave the house with a lighter bag and come home with a puffed out wallet, not with cash but with receipts!

This was supposed to be just a quick solo trip to the mall with the agenda of going to the bank (thank you Saturday banking) and to Healthway for warts removal. Did really feel productive being able to finish some errands, but I'm not sure if I should be proud of my card-swiping ability? Mmm. . . 

50% off from Carter's/Osh Kosh B'Gosh

Those SALE signs were so tempting that they successfully lured me into buying additional clothes for the little one (really how many pairs of shirt+pants does a crawling baby need?). Funny how mothers like dressing their children up like adults, those onesies would just do great, but then those mini versions of adult clothes are just too cute to resist! 

In a few days, Jos will be turning 6 months old! He will be trying on solids soon! Excited! Enough reason to buy his first spoons and bowls in Mothercare. Also, found the Sophie la girafe teether back in shelf again. It was out of stock when we were there last weekend so I immediately grabbed one when I saw it.

Going to Cebu this week for the summer vacation. This would be Jos' first summer outing. Swimming is on the list of to dos so we need to get him his first swimming attire. Tadaaaah! It was difficult to find one for a six-month old baby, thanks goodness Toys R Us has them. 

So that was my loot alright. A few thousands poorer but when I see these stuff on/to be used by my baby it doesn't really matter... 

By the way, I might have to avoid the 4th Floor of Greenbelt 5 for a while. Until then . . .

Lambretta Cielo Black Watch

Belated birthday gift for myself. Thank you Emirates Skywards mileage points! :)

On March 7th I received an email from Emirates reminding me of my expiring points this month. I initially checked for plane tickets but decided against it after a while. Obviously, I could not travel alone and my points would not be enough to cover the airfare for the three of us. Browsed the Emirates High Street instead and checked the items that I could buy with my points. I have wanted to buy a simple watch in Swatch but since they did not carry the brand my attention was veered into buying Lambretta, after of course reading feedbacks and checking the brand. Since style was simple the price was also okay, I was able to squeeze in  a set of silver earrings + necklace. Yey!!! Placed my order on March 22nd and package was delivered to our office via FEDEX yesterday, March 28th! Impressive!!! I had to shell out an amount for the shipping cost though but this watch worth $85 so it was all worth it. And oh the set of jewellery was also around that value. Happy me! :)
