As early as today, I am planning my Christmas list. I have some people eliminated on my previous list, I think that I should examine myself and ponder who are “really” the special people in my life. I admit, one of the reasons of doing this is budget constraints and even if we are on a tight budget, I feel that even with the simplest gifts, I want to give back to the very nice people I have around, whether family or friends. Even when I was single, I used to look first for my friends and then of course to my boyfriend (who is now my husband) and I am sure he also took extra effort to find me some really nice girlfriend gifts like what I did when we were just dating and then I spend most of the time thinking of gifts for my family. It takes me more time in thinking of what to give my family because, of course, they are extra special. Anyway, so far I only have a few people on my list right now and I might buy gifts for them online. We’ll see what happens. I need to compute, list down and decide soon before Christmas rush comes in.

A lot has been said during the election campaign and at the end of the day we as a Nation should stand together no matter who the President will be. It is not an easy job, I hope the one elected will certainly to his part so we can start anew this year. Anyway, the long holiday is over, it’s Tuesday and it’s back to work. Do you have another of your to do list this week? Mine is up…

• Look for reliable spirometers for work. My admin supervisor asked me to help them. I still have to know what it is before I help them and so browsing online has been been very helpful.
• Do our my first grocery trip for this month. I go every payday and since it was payday last Friday, I need to take a trip to the camp’s commissary to this task, one of my fave homemaker tasks actually.
• Another trip to the bank, payday so it means, sending a little for our savings.
• Payables. Bills to be sorted and money to be paid for them.
• Organize my kalakals, I need to sort and repost everything. Everything ended and I now have the time to maybe clean and list everything on my notebook. I hope to sell a few items as well.
• Clean and organize my son’s closet.

I know I may have missed something but hopefully, I will remember it as this week continues. Have a happy Tuesday blogmates.

I can’t remember posting a to do list here. If I did, I might have missed out. We will receive our salaries today, it’s payday once again so the husband and I are up for another trip in the grocery this weekend. I have to make a list so that I can’t forget any essentials we need at home. It’s been raining like crazy these past few weeks and we have no plans in going back and forth to the supermarket even if it’s close to our house. Dustin is running out of supplies, he needs another set of cans of his Progress Gold, his Prokids diapers and some baby wipes plus some toiletries we need at home as well. We need to buy more snacks for the rainy days as well and my mom is asking me to buy some pet supplies for our pet Sharpei since my Dad is out of the country, she will not go malling this weekend. I might ask my husband and my son to accompany me to scout for possible running shoes at BHS, eyeing my Sole Mate of course. Then we are planning to have a relaxing Sunday at home, maybe fixing the newly painted bedroom some more.
