Since we have a new and beautiful place I can now decorate by the season and make our little home pretty. Here are some of my "Christmas Ornament and decorations" that I made as a spring deco. It will be place on top our island counter so it look like a spring basket. I love the way it look. I still keep our decoration on the minimal side but a little bit on elegant side.

My niece has a bad migraine, she seek help from different Doctor until one of them advice her to be a patient at Lubbock migraine centers. She is lucky because she live in Texas. Most of the migraine treatment centers are located in Texas but hopefully that they will have some facilities at different states to accommodate patients out of Texas. They have helped patients with migraine including my niece. She's been in treatment for a few months, she is happy with positive development.

On of my candy basket for a friend. This is actually for their kids, yes bad me, I'm trying to feed the kids candies. This is just a simple one I made trying to fit into my budget, I know the kids will love the candies that I have for them. I'm just hoping that this will not melt before they get it.
I handed this over last week during our Christmas party and told my friend "just a little something" for the kids and she was cracking up telling me the story about "Filipinos" saying "a little something" which actually means a lot LOL.

Internet is the best invention ever that made our life easier. Like for instance when we are looking for answer quickly, I always go online and look for it. You can do banking, shopping online and so on. But the best thing I love doing online is comparing prices of anything I need including insurance. Any insurance we need that we could save money like auto, home and most especially the "Term Life Insurance" that we need to protect our family in case something will happen to us. It is so convenient that you could compare rates from 12 different insurance firms.

I love wrapping something for friends and family. For this wine I found a Christmas ornaments that I used, I don't know exactly what it's called but I always love putting something that will encorporate my gift baskets.
On my candy gift basket I used candy cane this year, last year I used small ball ornaments that goes well with my theme.

One of my girl friend got recently engage and she got a Scott Kay trellis semi mount ring, it's so beautiful. I am so impress of scott kay jewelry designs; it's simply beautiful and elegant. They are getting married on summer next year and will get their wedding band at scott kay. Scott Kay does carries elegant jewelry; they give you the option to design your own. They have watches, designer, collection and bridal as well. I am looking for this beautiful Everlon and palmetto cpllection.

The Christopher Radko ornaments that my friend gave me. I was so surprise and of course very happy girl when I'm unwrapping the ornaments that she gave me. I thought she will only gave me a couple but she gave me so much. Radko is a collectible item and pretty pricy ornament because it's made in Poland. I was so happy and I'm checking for a small tree just for Radko.

I always do compost year round and I own one very reliable composters. I also have compost pails that I use when I'm cooking to put the peel of veggies, easy way to make trips to the composter bin. I have enough compost to start my veggies garden on spring time. when I run out of compost I go to my friends ranch because she have a few composter bins that we keep working on one weekend a month for our garden.

I'm getting crazy with Christmas, I officially say the Christmas is my favorite season of the year. I love the spirit of it, the family, the cheer and the happy sight around. I love Christmas so much and so my Christmas tree that I've tweak it three times and I still keep buying ornaments, in fact I am planning to get a small artificial three about 2 feet tall just for a special ornaments that my friend gave me. She gave me "Christopher Radko's ornaments".

If you work in sales or if you have a retail business, it is nice to own a reliable barcode scanner especially this busy Holiday season. Some of our scanners need to be upgraded because it freezes during the busy key days. We have long line and our scanners are not working after awhile, we ended up keying in the merchandise barcode manually which is not fun. We learned our lesson from last week’s big sale so we ordered new scanner for our store.

Oh my friends! they are awesome. This is what one of my friend gave my other friend as a "thank you" for being such a nice friend to us. He made a nice bouquet of flowers with a cute puppy made of white flowers. It's so cute and it looks like a puppy. Our girlfriend was so happy and really appreciate the bouquet.

I never thought that pickpocketing can happen without them touching you or your wallets and cellphones. This thieves has this device that can scan the information and copy your credit card number and so on. To prevent this from happening to you, you have to have a protection like electronic pickpocketing device that will prevent them from stealing your information. This is really good not just for businessman but also for ordinary people like us.

This is our simple Thanksgiving Feast because we are a small family, only 3 of us. I made 10 lbs turkey with sides of yum and green beans casserole. We ate heavy breakfast this morning, we did not eat lunch just snacking on junks waiting for the big dinner. We are all stuff now watching movie and will take a nap and will head to the mall at 11pm to shop. I don't know if it's a good idea. Happy Thanksgiving all.

It's about time for me to learn how to play guitar so I enrolled to a beginner guitar lessons. I remember that I love strumming the guitar when I was on middle school but due some reason I was not able to pursue learning it further. Since I will have time early next year, I made it a point to enroll myself and go from there. I love the way Santana play the guitar, I know it's a long way to play like him but I'm eager to learn the techniques to play like him.

Well technically it's not really a "Candy Cane Tree" but I wanted to capture the color or a candy cane and peppermint. I'm still on the hunt for peppermint and candy cane ornaments and it will be my theme forever. I love the color of Christmas and I'm sticking on Santa, elves, snowman and gingerbread ornaments. A little bit on the traditional side.

It's the time of the year again; the Holiday season is just around the corner. My Christmas theme this year is red and white like candy cane and peppermint. My Christmas tree ornaments are in red and white and a few green so as my Christmas photo cards that I'm going to send to friends and family. I went online at invitationbox.com to pick out the design that will match my theme; I found it luckily and did my order. Hopefully, Holiday cards will be sent on time this year.

The view from our new place facing "Diamond head", this is the first sunrise we had in our new place. I wish we are on a little more elevated area so I can capture good pictures of the ocean and view of Honolulu.
I love this new place so much and hoping that one day we could own a place at this side of the island overlooking Honolulu and the beautiful ocean. As my husband and I was talking, we never planned to move at this location in fact we are looking somewhere 2 miles below us but GOD planned us to be in this elevation. As we joke maybe he want us closer to HIM :) or it's the closest we could get to HIM.

Finally we found a place to move in; it's a 2 bedroom with office room apartment. We put a 6 months lease to the place and see from there because we are not certain if we stay on that place longer but if we decide then we could extend. I found the place using a very easy online search engine that will help you on looking for houses for rent, it so easy, all you need to do is fill out a simple form and will show you the choices close to the area you pick. It's pretty cool, it's a very helpful site to us especially we only have a week to find a place and move.

Finally we could move on with our life and start a new beginning. It's time to put an end to our past and start a fresh new life, I know that GOD has something more better things for us ahead. Sometimes we get caught on what we have in the present that make it hard for us to to let go thinking that we might lost everything. Our human nature is telling us to hold on to material things that we have right now, but it's not what life is. Although material things are part of our life but we always have to think that GOD has something better for us, material and most of all Spiritual.

I'm particular with linens and towels. We live in a tropical island, although its cool here almost all year round but we need quality linens and towels. I don't buy linens with thread counts higher than 500 because it will feel hot and not breathable for our climate. I want crisp and soft linens like matouk, they also carries beautiful designs that will suit the island feel. I always match it with blanket covers like quilts, so appropriate for our climate and top it with beautiful bath accessories and soft and absorbent bath towels.
