Like what my daughter says, shopping indeed can make someone happy. Of course, it’s not true to everyone, but it’s true to me. Actually, I’m a great fan of it. But, I’m holding back because I don’t want to waste hubby’s effort. He is the only one working for the family, he opt for me to be a plain housewife. In the end, I find it difficult to spend his hard-earned money for myself.

However, yesterday I wasn’t able to stop myself from getting two sandals. I’m so happy while the barcode scanner is doing their job reading the labels of my footwear. Then, I feel guilty afterward. Good thing I rationalize it by thinking I really need two because my heels are already killing me. The fun did not end there because he takes me out for a dinner. After having five kids, I could not remember a time we had dinner like this. I really had so much fun with my new footwear and yummy dinner.

Growing old is never easy for me. I should not whine about it because it’s my fault for not being health conscious on my younger years, but hey it is really difficult. When I turned 50 I can feel different types of aches; headaches, body ache and joint ache. I became very sensitive to the chores. Doing those things can easily trigger those aches that I feel. That’s why I have to be very careful so not to suffer in the end.

Before, I used to sweep the falling debris in our yard. But, I can’t easily do that now because my back hurts whenever I bow down. I’m really begging my family members to buy me redmax blower. I no longer need to bow down or exert effort in cleaning my yard. It would also benefit them because they won’t be hearing my complaints after. It’s a win-win situation for all of us. Hopefully they can also see that.

My kids keep on bugging me whenever I turn on my computer. They instantly compete who will use it next even though I’m still doing something. I have to give way for the two of them to avoid conflict. They love to fight with each other especially with computer.

Hubby said it’s much better to buy another one so they will stop clashing. But, I don’t think it’s a good idea because we don’t have that much as of the moment. Plus, my hunch is telling me that my eldest will leave her laptop to us. I’ve heard she and her husband are planning to buy new laptops when they will leave the country. If that happens that is already two additional devices here. So, my younger no longer needs to fight for the right to use a computer. But, let’s just wait and see if that will happen. If not, then we’ll have to buy another device.

My daughter and I have been talking a lot since she arrived here last Thursday. It’s been three months since the last time I saw her and I really missed her a lot. I felt there’s a lot of catching up to do and that’s what I’m doing. Our topics are endless from her childhood to our present experiences.

Well, I also showed her some of her stationery collections during her elementary and high school days. She’s supposed to use these beautiful and perfumy papers to write love letters and friendly letters, but it remains intact for years. It’s good I showed it to her because she said she can make use of it in the future. I’m not sure what for, but I hope she will use it because she’s been keeping them for years. I also don’t want to see those things go to waste that’s why I also keep them and wait for her to decide.

I seldom have a chance to enjoy long hours in front of my computer. That’s why I rarely update this blog. Why? Well, my youngest and second to the last always often want to use it to play online games. Since I’m older, I have to give in because it’s too tiring to compete with them.

I thought it would be better for me to buy one of those tablet computers. With that I can do those things I mentioned above without being interfered by my kids. Also, I have reason to keep it to myself because it’s portable. I can always opt to go to the nearest coffee shop with wifi to do my thing. Its sounds a great idea. I’d better start checking for prices in order to start saving for it.

It’s Father’s Day, but the father of this house is not around to celebrate with us. So, what’s the use of celebrating the day when he is not nearby? He is doing some work miles away from here and no one can complain when work is the rival. For that matter, we end up doing our normal Sunday activities. As for me, I decided to do some online stuff like updating this blog and surfing the web.

As time goes by, I came to read something about nikon spotting scope. It’s a small telescope that has been modified for use by day. They say it is easier or better to use it as compared to binoculars or a telescope because it is easier to carry than a telescope and provides for more magnification than binoculars. I also learned that it can be used on cameras; which is my best discovery for the day. Digiscoping is the term used for taking pictures with a camera attached to a spotting scope. Combining the use of a spotting scope with a digital camera, a photographer can attain a telephoto effect unachievable with most camera lens. It allows photographers to use extreme magnification for wildlife and other types of photography. I can’t wait to share the information to my eldest, who became a photo enthusiast.
