New Year Plans ...

since it's another new year ahead all of us, and everyone has been talking about new year's resolutions and all that, i am going to share my part. however, i cannot come up with any New Year's Resolution, since i don't think i have anything to resolve in my life and the way i live. i am very much blessed right now, so spare me to just give you a list of my my plans for the coming new year. this will serve as a preview on what are the things carlo, nianne and i all have in mind, things we are planning to do, places we are planning to go, stuffs we are planning to buy, and some plans on how are we going to celebrate occassions to come. here it goes ...

to start of, these are some of the things we are really planning to do, one is more quality time with each other. since carlo is always busy being as helpful as he could be on their family business, and nianne is in school 75% of the time, and that i am awake while they are sleeping, we all realized that this year should be a year of more time with the family- for the family. second is that we are planning to go on more vacations and out of town trips. since my pto credits are now back to 20, we have all the time in the year to plan on when and where to go, good luck to us!

next are the places that we are planning to go. well for the coming summer, we are planning to go back to a beach in la union where we went to last year. it's in San Fernanado La Union and you would be needing to spend like five hours to get there, but it's really worth the trip. the moment we left the place last year, we really had swear to each other we will definitely go back, so we will. aside from that, we are planning to have a three day vacation in baguio. we had been there ofcourse but it has always been for a day, and the only things we have done are, a boat ride and some shopping for pasalubong. well definitely, this year, we are going back, and we are going to have a simple but complete trip all around. and lastly, we are planning to go to Puerto Gallera. maybe well have the celebration of our first year anniversay there, oh i'm excited.

we are definitely planning to complete the furnishing of our little home this year. so first on our list of things to buy are things we wanted to have for the house. we were really planning to buy a new television set before christmas, but since it has been a busy season for us, we failed to take time and look for one. we are buying the 29" Samsung CT-29V10MQ, hopefully before the month of january ends. next, we are planning to buy three side tables, two for our room and one for nianne's room. we are still on the process of hunting some, since i am so maarte about it. well, hoping to see a good one soon. we have been looking for a good, big and spacious shoe rack for our shooooeeesssss! haha! they are basically just arranged by the stairs, but i'm not satisfied seeing them that way, and i haven't seen a shoe rack that i really want so, hoping to get one that's perfect for the space i want it to be in, and for the amount of shoes it will contain. aside from those, we wanted to buy a see through cabinet for the gifts we received on our wedding. we would like to some kinda display them in a nice way, on a nice place. and aside for the things we wanted for the house, there are other things we are planning to buy for ourselves. first, we are planning to buy a 15-inch PowerBook G4 from apple by mac. we basically need a computer in the house. something that we really own, so that we don't need to go to my mom's house and use our computer there, we are planning to buy one for ourselves, and we want this one. hey calling on our auntie ninang emy! haha! hey tita ... it's just $2000, thanks in advance! haha! ok, now let's go back to things that we really can buy for this year.. haha! carlo and i can really feel that our phones are already retiring. they're funny nowadays. cellphones for both of us are really no big deal. for as long as we can still text and call each other we are ok. but since we really need to replace the phones that we are using now, and we don't have any choice but to get a new one, we are planning to buy either a Sony Ericsson P800, or a Samsung SGH- P400. we have always wanted to have a P900, but after seeing all the inclusive features on it, it's too much for our simple lifestyle. so we made up our minds, carlo will probably buy a P800, and i'll have the P400, were planning to buy those phones by the end of the year maybe, after we finish some of the other expenses.

with regard to celebrating coming occassions, we have simple plans. first is the graduation of our one and only precious princess from preschool. this is really something since it's her first graduation in her life, haha! we were just planning to eat out after the ceremony, a lunch or dinner maybe, depending on the schedule, just the three of us. the other plan is to treat our immediate family out, but carlo disapproved that already, well, we might just invite our family over, and have some lunch/dinner at home. well, it basically depends on the circumstances that day. after that, we are plannig to have a party for carlo's 25th birthday. it's basically a quarter of a century for him, it's his first birthday on our home, and he had not been celebrating his birthday for like five years now, so this time, we will definitely celebrate and everyone's invited! haha! next will be nianne's birthday, which is also my birthday, haha! were just planning to treat our family out to dinner, the place is still yet to be decided. then maybe nianne will celebrate her birthday in school, and i'll just bring some food in the office as expected, what else! next will be our first year wedding anniversary! *wink! we are planning to go to Puerto Gallera or somewhere, and since we didn't find the time to have a honeymoon last year, this will definitely be it! haha!

last year has been a great year for all of us, the best year for me so far. i am very much excited for the coming year, and we are definitely planning a lot, wish me luck! (",)
