The Time of Giving
Time flies so fast this year. It’s end of August and soon we will be in festive season. Luckily for my festive season, there is hardly any custom or practice to exchange gifts, otherwise it will a headache to come out with the budget and wish list for everyone in the family.
However for those who will be celebrating Christmas, it’s good if you can prepare the gifts earlier. If you are out of bright ideas and lack of time to go out and shop, check out this cool website at CouponChief.com
They have all kind of offers that will let you save when you shop at your favorite merchants. For the niece that love to pretend she owns a castle, maybe this Pop Onz Pro Building Value Pack – Pro City and Castle will make you her best aunt in the whole world. It is available with KBToys coupons.
With the coupons, you will get $5 off orders of $40 or more and free shipping on over 800 items. Perhaps while you are at the store, you will find a thing or two that will make your nephew happier on the Christmas morning as well.
For the special lady in your life, choose something from Ross-Simons coupons. Since with the coupon you can get to save up to 80% on clearance items, who says shopping for gifts especially Ross Simon jewelry is a burden. You need to know what to buy and the best place to shop for it, and the chore will no longer be too dreadful to complete..wink!
The Engagement In August
As promised earlier, these are some of the pictures taken for my niece engagement ceremony. These were taken using my Sony T30, of course there are a lot more using D50 but I am yet to edit those pictures.
Here is the sirih junjung which I made for her side of hantaran.
The theme is simple red, silver and white with rose as the main flower. Since the engagement preparation was done within a week, I have to settle for artificial flowers to decorate the gubahan hantaran.
There were 7 hantaran from her side since the groom side brought 5.
I hope they will be together soon!
Design New Game For Me, Please!!
Hubby has a new hobby (should it be considered as hobby anyway?). He bought Xbox 360 last month and now we have new entertainment in the bedroom. If he’s not shooting the alien in Gears of War, he’ll be jamming his guitar with Guitar Heroes. I tried my hand with Viva Piñata but then somehow this game frenzy fails to rub on me.
Maybe for those with the talent and ability to come out with the new games that will attract people like me, should consider taking Game Design study. Check out the programs they have at http://www.gamedesignprograms.com. The curriculum in the game design study will help equip you with game essentials like C++, Java®, 3ds Max® and AI (Artificial Intelligence).
Not only that you will learn the technical aspect of game design, you will also be prepped on game research and planning, character development, storytelling and project management. The hard part for me will be the modeling programming. Oh God! Why can’t my brain comprehend programming language when it can learn other languages in the world…huhu!
So, my request for those game designers out there is to come out with some games that close to homemakers’ heart. I am still waiting for something like The Sims to be a part of the Xbox game lists. Enough with all this ongoing battle, let’s have some peace with our game console!
To Further or Not?
It seems that everyone I know is furthering their studies. Few are doing their doctorate and yet I am still finding for fund to do graduate study, which keep on bugging me what graduate study I should consider myself doing.
I don’t think I would be happy to go through those technical path again. Those years of learning Engineering Maths, the formulas and theory, it is like a nightmare for me. I love using computer but those digital logic circuit and assembly language were too much for me to bear. I sighed in relief when I passed the papers.
I thought if I were to further my studies it should be something related to e-commerce and the kind of business that I am doing at the moment. Checking out this website: http://www.selectitschools.com made me realize that not all IT programs revolve around programming and web designing.
Their E-Business & E-Business Management program sounds cool. But I still have to consider my ability to tackle those programming language – PHP, XML as mentioned in their syllabus. To tell you the truth I can’t even come out with Hello World! using C..sigh! I know for Hubby it will be a simple stuff but I can’t let him do all my assignments again this time..huhu!
NVM, I will look for other option. Worse still, I will consider taking baking as my further study..wink!
Looking For Criminal Justice?
I told you I’ll be taking a break so I will be watching TV like there’s nothing else in this world to do..haha! I used to follow Law & Order series until recently when I got hook with so many stuffs to be settled. But other new series like Criminal Minds and Bones are still in my must watch series. Call me TV junkie, I don’t care!..hehe..
For those interested to move up your career ladder but need to have higher education and professional career training, check out this website at http://www.schoolsinstlouis.com. Their campuses are all located in metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri.
Their Criminal Justice Degree Programs look interesting but I am not sure what I can do with such degree here. Anyway if somehow Hubby get new job there and I am free with nothing to do at home in St. Louis, getting another degree with totally different branch of studies will certainly be a challenge for me. I love learning new things, it’s the exam that I hate..sigh!
In another thought, I’m not sure my brain is still not too rusty to be a college student..heh!
