Wasting 30 minutes before I go home..

..and updating.

I think I did a lot today.

For one, I've browsed for the examination dates available for 2006 regarding the IELTS and CGFNS examinations. I have target dates already: here. Now, the only question is where will I get the freaking money when we are saving up for the coming of the baby, Matthew's tuition fee for next schoolyear and the renovation of our room (money needs to be produced within the next four months of 2006.) God has ways, and He will provide.

And I lamely updated my side bar links. I had that template ever since I can't remember and it is beginning to look like it's being lived in by me (finally).

I organized my plans for 2006 as well. Take note that they are plans and not resolutions. I have come to a point that I do not make them anymore. I make plans and define them, make realistic timeframes, so I have the 90% probability of achieving them. I deliberately not included things like: practice random acts of kindess, pray more, eat healthy, stop eating sweets, etc. because all these are constant struggles for me, and I admit I would not be able to accomplish them in a lifetime. I can try - I can stop eating sweets for 2 weeks and gorge after, and pray every single night and still be the same sungit Aggie, so where will that take me?

Point is, I prefer to keep essential things which do not have realistic timeframes but do-able goals here - in my ♥.

I haven't done any shopping yet. I'm not being a Scrooge, and I have the money I tried going to the mall thrice and ended up going home 30 minutes after (and just buying mango shake from Fruitas, haha!). I HATE HATE HATE CROWDS.

5 Days until the Brat's birthday! I haven't bought his swimming trunks because if the rainy weather will push through, I'll cancel the swimming party altogether. Good thing I have such a great mother-in-law who will do the cooking and a kind father-in-law who will pay for half of it (!). All I need to do is to buy cake and take pictures. Yay!! And schedule portraits for the brat.

Christmas in 9 freaking days! (and I still got to work ~ I wish we have Christmas Vacations).
