I want to buy little C a shirt with her name on it. I saw one stall during the Pori Jazz making personalized embroidered shirts but it costs too much. I wouldn’t spend 10 euro on a simple embroidered name on a simple tee shirt. Call me cheapskate or whatever, but I just don’t think it’s worth it. And it wasn’t really that tempting to buy anyway coz if it was, then I would have done so the minute I saw it, just like this cute shirt I saw but ugh! it seems unfair, see this:

It’s cute alright but why don’t they make the same irresistible design which declares “I love mommy” too? Then there were more designs I saw which really fits little C, see below:

About this time last year, we were already preparing for the coming of our first child. As first-time parents, we’d rely on family and friend’s advices or read articles in the internet about child care and such. In choosing baby stuff such as cribs, infant car seats, clothes, etc. we’d read shopping guides and reviews. Shopping sites really helped us in guiding what kind of products to buy and what special features to look for.

For example, if you’re searching for the best car seats for your baby, Shop Wiki has the car seats buying guide which would help parents choose the best product based on its features, price and safety. Just make sure before considering other features that the car seat meets the requirement of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards then the rest follows. Ideally, you’d want your car seat to be comfortable for the baby, can be easily washed and cleaned, can be installed easily, has convertible seat and easy to release latches and buckles.

M likes buying online for computer stuff and electronic products. He’s good in spotting great deals. He usually finds cheap servers, routers, computer memory, disk drive and other computer peripherals online. Once he found the exact Dell servers which cost their company about half a million crowns when they bought it like 3 years ago for a very cheap price online.

There are lots of cheap IT products you can find online such as refurbished switches, routers or pre-owned servers at infinit-tech.com. The products they sell include networking, servers and telecommunications. If you want to save money on your IT needs, you better take advantage of the inexpensive products at infinit.

Few more days to go before our trip! You bet, I will be missing a lot of things. Aside from the yummy seafood and Filipino delicacies, all sorts of fruits (especially mangoes!), the beaches, the malls, I will definitely be missing our garden! huhuhu… nope I won’t be missing my parents since they will be coming along with me to Prague, yipeee!

Babies are adorable huh? Strangers would warm up as soon as they see little C and start a conversation just so they could play with her. Usually I’d get asked if my baby is a boy or girl. A friend reacted sarcastically, “Are they color blind? Can’t they see she’s wearing pink?” I guess dressing up my baby with colors associated with girls isn’t enough to identify her as one, at least for some people. One time I even placed a fresh flower behind her ear ala Hawaiian style and still get asked the gender question.

If you’ve been visiting my blog, you’d notice that my little girl has little hair that’s why she’s usually mistaken as a boy. How can I place hair accessories such as hair pins or ribbons on her hair when she’s almost bald? My mom told me I was also bald when I was a baby. Funny thing is, M used to be a bald baby too! I don’t know when little C’s hair will grow so I can use the hair accessories I bought her. I bought plenty of those cute pins when we went shopping the other day.

I’ve been shopping for baby clothes for my girl but what a big disappointment to find out after a week that the clothes have become small for my ever growing baby. Some of the clothes I bought don’t have buttons or have small neck holes which make dressing up difficult.

After learning my lesson I’m now conscious of the style and size of baby clothes when I go shopping. When buying Baby Clothes I choose those that have buttons, zippers or elastic necklines which makes the clothes adjustable as the baby grows. I also choose a bigger size not those that exactly fit her current size so she can still wear it even when she grows bigger. Another shopping tip is to buy when clothes are on sale to save extra money.

Seeing some ladies driving their sedans or SUVs around or seeing those sleek new cars being displayed in the malls sometimes make me wish I have one for myself. I even pasted a cutout picture of a car in my dream board before. I don’t really intend to drive those big vans, just a medium-sized sedan would do. Anyway, I remember how my sis-in-law in Cebu would drive us around the city in their brand new Toyota. This brand is one of my options should I decide to get one for myself in the future.
