Ystävänpäivä

Since Valentine's Day has been too commercialized, let me just use the Finnish version of it as my post title he he he he...

Last night I tried putting my mobile on silent and as a result I missed my Taebo session, since the darn mobile didn't ring at all. As you all know, hubby bought me a new mobile as a X-mas gift and I had never put it on silent before. Why did I put it on silent during the night? Well, the other night a friend of mine in Indo sent me an SMS in the morning (around 3 am Finnish time), so we both jolted up and woke up for a few seconds because of that. Well, I don't think I'll ever put it on silent again after this morning. Or maybe I should read the guide book to find out how to customize it.

Anyway, this morning in class my Brit friend MC gave me a Valentine's Day postcard.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MC!!!

She picked the one with a picture of a CUTE cat, since she knows how crazy I am about cats HUA HA HA HA HA HA...The postcard is displayed proudly on my book shelf, right next to the card from Crystal and the postcard from Juliana RW. *grin*





When my class almost ended, I was thinking of buying some pepper steak from the supermarket and cooked them in the oven. However, when I checked the price, I changed my mind. 300 grams of pepper steak cost €8.50. I decided to buy some pepper steak from a nearby grill resto instead. After all, only by paying €10 I could get two portions of pepper steak complete with french fries and fresh salad on the side. I called hubby first to make sure if he wanted some and he said yes since he hadn't eaten anything during the day.

I arrived home at around 3.15 pm and couldn't hold back my hunger, so I ate right away. Hubby only came home at 4 pm and he ate right away. He finished it all. I still have half of it left he he he he...Then hubby thanked me and hugged me REAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL tight. Yummmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...

For dessert we had some chocolate pudding (he bought some from the supermarket yesterday - he bought the kind that I LIKED so much he he...). Then I told him that it was a cheap date and he agreed HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...

Today has been a nice day, even though it's SO windy. And the period of darkness has been slightly shorter. I notice that in the mornings it gets light earlier and it gets dark a bit later than usual. ;-D

Okie dokie, gonna blog-hop some more and then do my homework. Tomorrow morning I have to wake up early to do my Taebo he he he he...HAAIIIYYAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

P.S. Do you know that I've never received any flowers in my entire life? HE HE HE HE...Last year's Valentine's Day I bought myself some roses since I thought, "Well, I can buy myself some flowers if I want to, so why not? Let's make me happy!" And I didn't only make myself happy by buying some flowers. I also made Mom happy since she loved having 'em in our living room HA HA HA HA HA HA...

And here's one joke for you he he...

3BT: December 14, 2007

1. Hubby warning me to be careful since the pavement and streets were slippery. ;-D

2. Sending two more postcards at the post office he he he he he he...and seeing SO MANY people there sending cards and gifts to their loved ones. Ahhhhh...such an interesting thing to see!

3. An old woman taking another old woman on a ride with her kicksled. The other old woman was sitting on the kicksled's chair. Mmmm...quite a sight to behold!

4. Finding cheap oranges!!! Only €0.99 per kilogram! YIIIIHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

5. Almost forgot!!! It's interesting to see that in the post office you can take some postcards or cards and once you're done writing the address and your message, you can queue and tell the postman, "I just took the cards from the racks." So it means they have really great trust in customers. You can NEVER do such a thing in Indonesia - leaving so many boxes, wrappers, envelopes, cards, postcards just like that (in an open place) where you can "steal" them easily, but over here it seems they don't worry about people stealing stuff.

ADDITIONS:

6. Receiving a postcard from my German friend (used to be my penpal, now my emailpal) who now lives in Sweden.

7. Receiving some more money transfer from writing ads. HUA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...Let's save more money, Babyyyyyy!!!!!

Personalized Christmas Cards

I once created a new discussion in a forum and attached one of the winter pictures that I took near my in-laws' house. I'm sure you've seen it because I know you love that picture. Anyway, some of them said that the picture was good enough to be printed on a card. I agree with that! Maybe next year I'll do that. After all, sending personalized Christmas cards would make the recipients happy, don't you think so? After all, they will get unique cards from you.

VistaPrint is one option for you to order Holiday cards. Other than ordering your personalized cards or postcards, they also provide a variety of beautiful custom cards, including your own photo cards or photo collage cards. If you want to order their custom cards, you can also write down your own personalized holiday greetings. Confused on what to write for your Christmas card? They provide plenty of verses to choose, so you can sit back and pick one of them.

What else do they offer? You can choose whether the inside of your folded cards will be printed in full color (with additional price), in grayscale printing, or you can just leave it blank. And they also have different template options for the inside of the cards. You can even change the color scheme (there is a long list of color schemes to choose).

For those of you who have your own company, you can also add a logo inside the cards. Uploading photos or logos is very easy to do in this site because it's very user-friendly. And since it's near Christmas, they are offering half price for holiday cards. Interested? Why don't you pay them a visit?
