3BT: Random Days

1. A customer bought a few stuff but then realized that she had 30 cents less than what she had to pay. When I was asking her what item she wanted to take out, the guy behind her immediately said, "Don't take anything. Here, let me just give you 30 cents." The woman thanked him profusely. :-D

Sure it wasn't a big amount of money, but not everyone would do that and it's lovely to witness something like that. :-D

2. My first batch of summer holiday is coming soon and we're going on a week cabin trip. WOOOHHHHOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Can't wait!!! :-D

3. Thankful that in this tough economy, we still have jobs and we're still able to do some budget trips on our holidays.

4. My BPPV symptoms have been much less and less severe in a short amount of time and I'm even thinking of exercising again. My body's itching for a real exercise. Here's to regaining health!!! :-D

5. A friend's dad's bypass surgery went very well and it seems that so far the recovery period has been well, too. HALLELUJAH!!!!

6. Reading this prayer that I found accidentally:

“Prayer of an Anonymous Abbess:

Lord, thou knowest better than myself that I am growing older and will soon be old. Keep me from becoming too talkative, and especially from the unfortunate habit of thinking that I must say something on every subject and at every opportunity.

Release me from the idea that I must straighten out other peoples' affairs. With my immense treasure of experience and wisdom, it seems a pity not to let everybody partake of it. But thou knowest, Lord, that in the end I will need a few friends.

Keep me from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point.

Grant me the patience to listen to the complaints of others; help me to endure them with charity. But seal my lips on my own aches and pains -- they increase with the increasing years and my inclination to recount them is also increasing.

I will not ask thee for improved memory, only for a little more humility and less self-assurance when my own memory doesn't agree with that of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be wrong.

Keep me reasonably gentle. I do not have the ambition to become a saint -- it is so hard to live with some of them -- but a harsh old person is one of the devil's masterpieces.

Make me sympathetic without being sentimental, helpful but not bossy. Let me discover merits where I had not expected them, and talents in people whom I had not thought to possess any. And, Lord, give me the grace to tell them so.

Amen”
 

7.  Small epiphanies that allow me to understand some things even better than before. I cherish them with all my heart! :-D

8. Hubby for making me laugh a lot 'coz of his antics. :-D 

Addition: Just had a full blown exercise - sweating and all that. Now I feel VERY VERY fresh. WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Feels WONDERFUL to be able to exercise again. :-D 

YIIIIHHHHHHAAAAAA!!!!!!

YESSSSSS!!!! Now the flight AND hotel room in Singapore are confirmed already. Phew!!! I feel a HUGE load off my shoulder, esp. because the hotel room is within our budget, so I don't have to cut off the budget for other things. (Yeah, I'm a budget freak ha ha...)

Now the excitement can risseeeeee again freely ha ha ha ha ha...

Last night I told Arttu, "Next time we do this kind of trip, I'll let YOU do all the research and booking and stuff."

He asked, "Why? I don't want to do that."

LOL LOL LOL!!! Yeah, right! Naughty babe!!! He deserves to be spanked HI HI HI HI HI...

This evening we're going to my in-laws for the last time before we fly to Indo. Arttu needs to change his tyres with winter tyres, since when we get back to Finland, it'll surely be the beginning of winter already. We're going to drive to Rovaniemi and leave the car in the airport car park.

Now we're ready to flyyyyyyyy awayyyyy...but before that, I have to go for my Pap Smear test this afternoon. I'll write about it when I get back ha ha ha ha ha ha...

Under Stress

Do you work well under stress? I don't. I LOVE having plenty of time to prepare everything, so that if plan A doesn't work, then I have time to pick plan B or C or D he he he...

Browsing through the hotels and stuff online is a tough deal when you have a tight budget, especially when the rates on the online pages are sometimes in US dollars or Singaporean dollars and I have to calculate everything in Euros he he he he he...I've filled up a page with calculations, price comparisons, and reviews he he he he...

Why do we insist on going to Singapore when our holiday can be simpler if we stay in Bandung? Because it may be our last honeymoon before we have kids. That's why we'd better enjoy our holiday just in case. But that means that we have to be REALLY careful with the money we spend, especially since we're thinking of buying a new digital camera.

Yep, browsing through digital cameras was also tiring since I have to read so many reviews of different types of digital cameras and if possible I also had to compare the results of the photos some people had taken. I do enjoy research, though, if I'm not limited by time and budget HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI...

Wouldn't life be simpler if we had less and less and less wishes and wants????

This image below captures my mood perfectly:

I don't know why but I'm also tensed about coming back to Bandung. Weird. I should feel only excitement and elation, but I have this somewhat disturbing amount of tension that I can't explain. I just wish I could get this all over with by arriving in Bandung he he he...

OK, let me now think of calming thoughts and see calming pictures like this...

I'm A Lazy Blogger!!!

It seems I've been so lazy in blog-hopping or blogging these days. I don't know why. Maybe just not in the mood he he he...

Well, today I'm SO happy 'coz I've won one bid in ebay. Yesterday my brother told me that he'd love to get an Arsenal T-shirt of one of his fave players if I could find it in Finland. I immediately browsed online and found several sites, but turned out that everything was MUCH more expensive if I bought it elsewhere (rather than ebay, I mean).

Yesterday evening I started bidding for one particular signed T-shirt, but alas, I lost in the end since there was another bidder who really wanted that shirt and kept on raising his bid. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR he he he he...

So today I was determined NOT to lose, even though I had a certain budget in mind and I wouldn't go over that budget. *GRIN* I saw one bidder already this morning and there was about 4 and a half hours left to bid, so I instantly put my maximum bid there with the hope that nobody would outbid me HE HE HE HE HE HE...

After lunch break, I checked it again and turned out I WOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!! Another bidder lost by 11 cents HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI...

I sent an SMS to my brother right away and he was SO happy! At first he asked me how much it cost 'coz he wanted to pay for it, but I told him not to bother as I was the one who asked first what he wanted me to bring, anyway.

It feels FANTAAASSTIIIIIIICCCCCCC to get a GREAT bargain and make somebody else happy HE HE HE HE HE HE HE...

And today I TRULY want to thank GOD 'coz I've got enough money to buy that shirt for him. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
