Christmas, You're So Near

Yesssss... and I'm so excited! Actually, everybody is excited, right? I love it here in Bordeaux when cold season comes in. Different atmosphere and ambiance around especially for the upcoming holiday season. My favorite is at night. Yes it's cold but there's something special about it really that I can't describe. Picture below is the Regent Hotel and just infront of it is the Grand Theatre where Bourgeois people go. Many animations of course during the weekend but I find it so crowdy and noisy during the day and too difficult to park as well. Last weekend, I had the courage to go out to shop something and I was surprised to see an american young guy who played so well with his instrument. Seriously, he was the eye-catcher of the day. People were watching him and applauded him a lot.

 


Well, if one day you go here in France, don't forget to add Bordeaux in your list. You'll never regret it. Have a wonderful evening everyone. I'm off for new gold tube at musicians friend. This is kinda urgent.

My Boys

 

They get along so well together and they are so cute together. Everybody tells me that my son is really the mini version of hubby :-). Aren't they cute together? Seriously, I'm thankful for the family that I have. I'm thankful for having a wonderful husband like mine coz we communicate all the time no matter what will be the subject. We talk and talk and we agree on same thing when it comes to the discipline subject. I'd say that we're strict and cool parents at the same time. I am honestly proud on how we raised our son. He's very young still but he talks to us everyday like how his day was, about his friends, what he did right after school and if something bothers him. Right from the very start, we always tell him that he is absolutely free to tell us anything. Being a parent is quite difficult. I couldn't say that we're the best parents in this world but we are doing are very best to be the best one for our son and for our future children. He knows what I do in life, what I do for a living as well as with hubby, where we work and etc. Right at this very moment, he's even with me at a couch cushion asking me so many questions while writing this post.

Will somebody please tell me if you guys know a store where I could find used Acoustic Guitars? I'd like to buy one for my brother as he does a very good job at school. I can't afford to buy a new onebut I'm looking for an acoustic guitar that functions well still. My brother wishes to have one for a very long time and as I have some extra money and since Christmas will be around the corner soon, so, this will be the perfect time to give him this. Or just incase you own one and you wanna sell it, think of me please ;-).

It's thursday and my 1 week vacation starts now. Oh how good it feels to simply wake up late in the morning, enjoy my breaky and my coffee of course :-). These are some of the things that I'm thankful for aside from the wonderful family I have and 2 handsome boys. I couldn't ask for more. Though it's cold here but nature itself has something else to offer. Automn is beautiful too even if cold. My son loves it and he explains things to me that he acquired from school. He grows so fast and he's turning 4 years old next weekend. My life is so smooth and I'm at the point in my life that I don't ask for anything else except for good health for the entire family. I wish time will come that all my family will gather and we will all go for a vacation. That's one of the biggest wish I have. Hopefully one day I'll be able to have lowboy trailer and caravane and just have a road trip. 

Memories, Memories, Memories

I would say that I had and enjoyed my highschool and college days. I always reminisce all those crazy moments I had: good and the bad ones. I miss those days, the bonding time I had with my friends, cutting classes just to watch a film either ayala or sm or simply go to the beach with the boys lolz. Haaay, I wish to see all of them once again. We're always trying to have our reunion but same thing, mostly are not available and several of our group are now living outside PI. I still have my class ring. I don't wear it anymore but everyone I see it, it makes me immediately smile. Memories, memories, memories. No regrets at all. For my friends and readers out there, do you still wear it? In my own opinion, really a good idea to have one before leaving the school. Although you're not really obliged to get one for yourself but it's one of the souvenirs you'll have. You may suggest someone to get your class rings here just incase they don't know where to get it. As far as I know, big discounts will be given if you guys order it by volume.

Days Off

I have 2 days day off then no work again for me for the weekend. Isn't that wonderful? I love it! I worked overtime these past few weeks coz my work needed me badly. I accepted it of course without any hesitation :-). Well, day off for me is simply a day for my 2 boys (hubby & son). We woke up late this morning (it's my son's vacation at the moment so no school and hubby is on sick leave) and just watched a movie at the living room right after. Simple things that binds us together then we spent our time for our son. I guess I am at the point of my life now where I only enjoy stuffs. I don't ask nor seek that I should be going somewhere for a short vacation and shopping and etc., at this moment, I prefer to spend quality time with my family and people that matters to me. We prefer to simply eat somewhere and just enjoy the time we have and the availability of everyone. Hubby even asked me what I want for our wedding anniversary next month. My answer, nothing because I already have everything that I want and dreamt of for a long time. Does it mean that I'm now boring? Hahahaha sometimes I do ask myself that question. That's what they call maturity but I'm not menopausal hein? 

Gotta go people to accompany someone for seagull entourage rustic cw qit acoustic-electric guitar rustic later this afternoon.
