That was my anniversary gift from hubby (^_^) So I went shopping with Finn on Tuesday at a mall and was able to buy the shoes and the jeans. Today I went shopping again and bought a hooded jacket, blazer, and a snap down white long-sleeved shirt. And guess what ... I still have $17 left! How's that for shopping (~_^) I wonder what I'm gonna buy next ... hmmmm.

Mitsuwa
I love going to Mitsuwa. We went there after Finn's TKD demo class, had lunch at their food court and then went shopping. There was a free tea tasting where they set up an area in the middle to kinda look like a traditional tea shop which is cute (^_^) They had us sample the green tea with roasted rice. Jojo had tasted this before but didn't know what it was and he really liked it so we bought one of that, one sencha, and one maccha. This maccha is of a different brand from the one we bought before so we'll see how this differs in taste. Plus, their Tokoname-yaki was on sale so we bought that too (^-^) Too bad we didn't find any tea cups or tea bowls to go with it. But we know of where we can buy them so that'll be for next time. I was also able to get my taiyaki fix! Do I sound pregnant or what?! I assure you I'm not but I've been craving for taiyaki for some time now. It's just so good! I just had them last week and now I bought another pack ... hihihi. I was even thinking of buying a taiyaki-ki but it's expensive and I might not be able to make it all the time anyway so, I'll just have to buy whenever we go to Mitsuwa. I did buy some sweetened, mashed red beans so I guess I'll make my own version. Maybe we'll just buy a regular waffle maker instead ... hmmmmm.Oh and I've been good with my Godiva chocolates ... just had 2 last night and one so far today. I'll have another one later (^_^) Maybe with my tea. Oh dear, it's late. Have to make dinner now. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Yummy (^_^)
Hubby gave me this box of Godiva chocolates (^-^) I just had that raspberry star you see in the pic and it was heaven I tell you! HEAVEN!!! OMG I have to restrain myself so that I don't finish the whole box tonight ... hehehe. Wish me luck!
8 Years
8 years of marriage ... doesn't seem that long. But if you add the 8 years before that, we've practically been a couple for nearly half of our lives! Imagine that (^_^)
A few days ago I asked him what he wanted for his gift, he said we shouldn't buy gifts anymore since we have a lot of expenses right now. So I said ok. Then this morning he gave me a card and inside was a gift card ... cheater!!! I didn't get him anything at all (-_-) It was a nice surprise of course but now I want to get him something even if it's gonna be a late gift.
Jojo took the day off from work so I did too. We had lunch at Matsushima and then went shopping at Mitsuwa. I bought my taiyaki (^_^) Been craving for it for awhile now so we bought 6. Already had 2 as I write this ... hehehe. Also bought some Maccha (powdered green tea) plus other things that we need restocked like furikake, miso, noodles, you know, all the good stuff.
Before going home, Jojo stopped by a flower shop and bought me these beautiful roses. When we got home, our new friends arrived by UPS. Right now they're in one corner outside but we're planning on moving them by the raindrum and mushroom windchimes out front so they can be seen better. Cuties! The raccoon family was bought separately from the house but they go well together so that'll be their house. The door swings open and you can open the top for a better view of the inside. I might buy miniature furniture for the inside (^-^)
Now our afternoon is free and we're just gonna watch some anime, maybe play games later. Ok, gotta go now. Till next entry!

Birthday Weekend
Finn is 7 years old! And for us, that calls for a big celebration. We held it at his TKD school and most of his classmates came (^_^) I prepared the Mario Hat cake, Mushroom muffins and Goomba brownies (which were all a big hit with both kids and parents), drinks, chips and we had pizzas delivered. The party was like an introductory TKD class and Finn was asked to do a demonstration for them. He did 2 forms, showed all the kicks he knows and he broke a board. I must say they were impressed coz some of the parents already inquired about the classes (^_^). That party went on for about 1.5 hrs, then we had to clean up.
That wasn't the end of the day coz at 5pm, we had another party at home for the adults - mostly from Church. So much good food! The food we ordered was good for 50 people but we didn't invite that many so even if our guests brought home food, we still have a lot of leftovers. Good for me coz then I don't have to worry about cooking for awhile (^_~) hehehe. When all the guests left, we cleaned up a bit but this was already late and we were tired that we just left the rest of the mess for the next day.
Sunday after Church, Finn wanted to use the gift cards he got along with some cash to buy toys. We first went to IKEA to buy him a coat rack, Jojo bought himself a wok, had lunch there and went to Toys R Us where he bought a lot of Ben 10 stuff. Next we went to Target coz he wanted to buy a Wii game - he chose Super Sluggers. But he had some money left and wanted to buy more so we went to Game Stop to look for cheaper games and he bought Dragonball Z Budokai 2 for Wii, and I bought for myself the game Okami (yay!!!). By this time my feet were killing me since we came from Church, I was wearing my 3-inch heeled boots and we've been walking almost the whole day! Not to mention I haven't really had time to rest since I started preparing for the party the week before. When we got home we just reheated some pansit, tried the games out, watched the last few minutes of the Super Bowl and went to sleep.
Today I was finally able to clean up the mess in the living room and dining room, washed the piled dishes in the sink, returned the chairs we rented, dropped by the bank, did 2 loads of laundry, folded 4 loads of clothes, all in about 2.5 hours. Reheated something for lunch, took a shower, and now I'm writing this blog. Soon I have to go pick-up Finn at school and then go to work later.
I'm tired, but it's worth it since Finn had a blast at his party (^_^) I really enjoy doing parties, not so much the clean-up and tiredness and aching bones after.
