I have absolutely zero knowledge with what features and specs in a laptop are considered “cool,” “lufet,” and “asteeeeg” (hubby’s and his friends’ words, not mine).
So just in case you’re wondering, here are the specs of the HP DV6-3298SE I got for hubby:

happy hubby's hp lappy

Last night, after months of searching, I was finally able to buy the laptop hubby wanted.

During last year’s Gitex, he mentioned that he wanted to replace his old laptop because it was, well, old. Plus, he needed a new updated model where he could work on his templates and whatevers if he needed to bring home some work. So, that time, I told him that that would be my birthday gift to him (his birthday was still 2 months later). Unfortunately, we couldn’t find one that he liked. We looked around the shops, but still there was nothing. And then, Ate Cel came and we had all these expenses, so hubby said that it would be better to delay buying the laptop for a while. Little did he know that I had already put aside the money and had no intention to use it except to buy his gift; I was ready anytime.

barney

Yesterday, while walking around DFC, Caila met one of her favorite tv characters.
I’m not sure if she was just shy or starstruck, because she didn’t seem really excited when she saw Barney. He even offered to carry her for the photo, but she preferred me. Then, when she saw Barney walk away, she started crying and wanted to run after him.
Haaaay! Toddlers...go figure!

make-up...no make-up

This morning, I decided to wear make-up and use contact lenses instead of glasses.
I don’t know how to put on make-up and I’ve never worn make-up to the office before (I always just put on face powder and lipstick), so I just experimented with eye-liner, eye-shadow, mascara, blush, and red lipstick.

27.01.11 = 68, 32, 23

Today is the 27th of the month...
68 months of being in a relationship with a great man.
32 months of married bliss with a loving husband.
23 months of motherhood to a wonderful daughter (she’s growing up so fast!).
It’s celebration time once again!

the mv logos hope

Last Saturday, I read in Gulf News that the MV Logos Hope was docking in Dubai until the 5th of February, and since I love reading and I’ve been reading to Caila lately, I wanted to check it out. When I was still a kid in Papua New Guinea, my dad took me to the MV Doulos when it docked there (either in Rabaul or Madang) and I remember I was amazed at the thousands of books they were selling.

another lunch at al dawaar

Ohhh...I'm soooo full!

I just returned to the office a few minutes ago from a lunch meeting at Al Dawaar in Hyatt Regency.
Actually, I thought it was just going to be an ordinary meeting that would last 1 hour max. The meeting was scheduled for 2:30pm, so naturally I had my lunch during the break from 1 to 2pm, and left the office at 2:10pm. However, as soon as my boss and I arrived at the hotel lobby, our account manager informed us that she had made a reservation at the revolving restaurant. Of course, I was happy (free food!), but then I had just had a filling lunch and I didn't have any room left in my tummy for more.
