A Complete Disaster

My kitchen is a big disaster and I need a very good selection of pull out shelves. Mostly are my baking utensils for my business. I found nothing in Ikea so I guess, I'll end up purchasing something online coz I really need it badly and it's urgent huhuhuhu. Anyway, happy valentine's day everyone!!

All Packed In

Yes and I'm ready for my Barcelona trip tomorrow. Nervous and excited for this very first trip of mine alone. Suitcase, gadgets and papers are all ready. Believe it or not, I will be there until sunday online but it looks like I'm staying there for a week lolz. Hubby was like "Wow! Are you sure you'll be bringing all those stuffs?" hehehe. Woman will always be a woman, agree? I'll be touring around of course thursday and friday during the day with my roommate and shows in the evening. Saturday and sunday will be an entire workshop for me then airport directly by sunday night. You may find me funny but I'll even have it with me the usb audio interface at musicians friend. I just wanna make sure that I've got everything :-). As they've said, make sure you've got everything before going to a war. Agree?

She Is

Any musicians out there searching for an exciting ezdrummer at an affordable price? A friend got hers at an online store that she just discovered a week ago. I went to her house this afternoon and I, myself, felt inlove with this EZ drummer software. I'm not a musician myself and I'm not a fan of music instruments as well but I saw her doing the stuffs, I was like WOW! Yeah, this is the friend that I said who has helped me a lot in editing my music for my class as well as my videos. She's not an artist but when she's into something, she really takes it seriously. I am just so blessed that I'm surrounded with good, wonderful and generous people :-).

Tic Tac Tic Tac

Will be going to Barcelona alone this coming wednesday for the big bellydance festival by Munique Neith. Nervous but excited. It will be my very first time to travel abroad without hubby. Tickets, hotel reservations and everything are ready. Even my suitcase is ready too. I'll be arriving in Barcelona Wednesday night and my roommate will be arriving thursday lunch. Our common plans? Visit the different tourists spots for 1 1/2 day :-). Saturday and sunday will be a whole day workshop for me and she'll be going back to Ukraine sunday morning. I don't speak spanish and I'm wishing that majority of the people in Barcelona understand and speak english :-). I have my map with me also and started studying my iterinaries just incase nobody would be able to help me. This new adventure is going to be exciting and I can't wait to meet for real these ladies I met via Facebook. Yes, facebook on the other hand has it's advantage. I prefer new adventures and this sounds just so much fun. But before that, I have to make sure that my boys here at home will have something to eat and hubby and I will be going to an opthalmo. We need eyeglasses with stainless frames especially hubby, himself.

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 ;-).
