I love finding great stuff on sale!

On a rainy Monday afternoon in Orlando, my hubs and I  decided to spend time checking out the Mall at Millenia and Florida Mall, since it's Labor day and I've heard that they put up good deals during holidays like this.


We checked out the Old Navy outlet near the Mall at Millenia and I'm happy to find a pair of jeans on clearance and it says $8.99 on the tag! I immediately tried it on and voila! It fits me( a little tight on the waist, but I can still zip the whole thing. :p) and there's no need to fix the hem. It's from Diva and the original price was $19.99.
Original price was $19.99 and I got this for $8.99
Then we went to the Florida Mall and since we park near JCPenny, we checked the the deals they had today. There's this one pair of jeans that I'v fallen in love with lately. It's called jeggings - they are leggings which are styled to look like tight denims. I like it because it looks like one of those skinny jeans, but it's not purely denim so I won't have to struggle when pulling my jeans past my hips and bum. It's spandex slash denim, so it flatters your curves. I like wearing leggings at home 'coz I won't have to deal with buttons, but I'm not so comfortable wearing them outside when doing errands 'coz I feel naked when I have it on. I'm thankful to whoever came out with the idea of jeggings 'coz I can finally have the comfort of buttonless leggings with the feel of denim.
Original price is $38 and I got this pair for $12.99


Then a couple of weeks ago, since I really love the food here in America, I had and I NEED to get a new pair of jeans 'coz all of the jeans I brought from the Philippines won't close no matter what I do. I need instant liposuction just to make my old jeans fit me. Finding a good pair here is very hard 'coz I'm not tall and most jeans sold here are for tall people. Good thing it was the back to school sale and clothing under $50 have no sales tax. We passed by Sears and I was able to find a pair of Levi's jeans made for petite women. The hem didn't need fixing and I can still zip the jeans even when I'm full
Original price is $44, but I got this pair for $13
I'm hoping that I won't gain more weight because I hate figuring out one day that I can no longer zip my jeans and do the buttons. I hope I will shed the unwanted weight soon and fit into my old jeans again. I need to go back to a size 6 to look and feel better. Heaven help me!

Crafts for less

I don't really know what it is with the holiday season, but my "craftiness" usually kicks in whenever Christmas is fast approaching. It all started about a year ago when I decided to make personalized cards and gifts for my friends, family members, and colleagues. My Mom is really crafty, but I wasn't really interested in making projects when I was a lot younger, 'coz I'm just too lazy to even think about a concept. Our house in the Philippines will always be festive by October 'coz my Mom will decorate the entire place with so much attention to every detail, so that her holiday theme will flow all throughout our house. Meanwhile, I will just sit on the couch and watch TV and lounge like there's no tomorrow. I showed no interest at all, as everything was just too much for my brain cells to handle.

Medical Examination at SLMCEC

November 9-10, 2009 This will be a blow by blow account of my medical exam that took place last week. If you want to be first in line, you can be there as early as 3am, but I went there at 5am because I wanted to make sure that I am safe while taking the exam and I don't want to wait in line for 2-3 hours. It was a good move, since they were already accepting applicants at 5am and I got in around 5:20am and I was the 54th applicant of the day. Make sure to have the following ready: 1. Passport 2. 4 2x2 visa pictures (they will only take 3 though, but I brought 4 since that's their requirement) 3. Original and photocopy of approval letter from the embassy 4. Print out of your interview schedule 5. Black ballpoint pen 6. Payment (213.35 - exchange rate is at 48) Flow chart: 1. At 5:30 I already got in and filled out the Patient Data Sheet form. Memorize your fiance's address and phone number or at least have a copy of it. 2. The guard called us up for the digital picture taki...

Happy thanksgiving!

This is my first thanksgiving in the US and I really insisted that we have a thanksgiving dinner with the traditional turkey. My husband was kind enough to give in to my demand and helped me get all the stuff we need for dinner. We invited 3 of his friends over, since both of us don't have families here (I have relatives in Clermont, but they had plans for thanksgiving too). We had this huge turkey, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, apple-cranberry cobbler, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie (the last 3 sides were still in the oven, that's why I wasn't able to include it in this photo). We just watched football after dinner and I'm glad that my husband's friends were happy about their meal. They all said I did a good job in preparing it and hearing that made me very happy because that means I am successful on my first ever hosting experience. Yeah, this was also my first time to host a dinner gathering without my mom around to tell me what to do. Today, I am...
