Garfield Runner’s Cup

I have been eyeing on a fun run where my whole family can go. Many have passed and we have not had our first. I hope this time around, we can participate. Ayex will surely be delighted because she has unleashed her running self. She likes running outside with the other kids and it makes her really tired at night.

I got this from my email and I thought, moms out there could make this a bonding time for the whole family.

Here is the detail registration fees and categories.

Each race kit contains a commemorative Singlet, a Race bib, Discounts from sponsors, a Goodie Bag and a ticket to the Garfield Zone after the race.

Calendar as Christmas Gifts

Every night, when the news is almost over, they would remind people how many days are left before Christmas. And my little will go, Mommy when they say 0, is it Christmas already?. And as I say yes, she would giggle out loud! I on the other hand feels a slight panic inside me because while I have created lists before, I have not started any Christmas shopping yet. I remember, this time around every year, the box where the Christmas tree is is already unearthed. We do not really mind if there is still Halloween. Haha! I should look for that box in the coming weeks, the girls will surely be delighted to have the tree up. Anyway, on with this post.

After Christmas, there will be New Year. Thus, some go with calendars for their present, specially for families. Personally, I do not mind at all getting multiple calendars as gifts. The more, the merrier as I am the type of person who likes seeing calendar in several places in the house. I hate forgetting the date, that is why. And so it got me thinking whether I should give out calendars too. If I decide now, I will be spared of having a hard time looking for calendar printing services which is what I like. I do not want to be involved in the crazy Christmas rush where everyone and everything seems to be fully booked. And we all know what happens most of the time when things are rushed – disaster.

I will also ask my family if they want to give some of their friends this kind of gift, specially my mom. She has a lot and will most probably need help with her Christmas shopping list.

Book Review: Remember Me?

Remember Me? is a fiction book by Sophie Kinsella, a chic literature to be exact.

Here is a synopsis of the book.

When twenty-eight-year-old Lexi Smart wakes up in a London hospital, she’s in for a big surprise. Her teeth are perfect. Her body is toned. Her handbag is Vuitton. Having survived a car accident—in a Mercedes no less—Lexi has lost a big chunk of her memory, three years to be exact, and she’s about to find out just how much things have changed.

Somehow Lexi went from a twenty-five-year-old working girl to a corporate big shot with a sleek new loft, a personal assistant, a carb-free diet, and a set of glamorous new friends. And who is this gorgeous husband—who also happens to be a multimillionaire? With her mind still stuck three years in reverse, Lexi greets this brave new world determined to be the person she…well, seems to be. That is, until an adorably disheveled architect drops the biggest bombshell of all.

I bought this book a few years back but only got the chance to read it last week. I find it very entertaining, easy to read. Kinsella never fails to make me imagine the scenes because of her choice of words. The story is unique, exciting, and appeals well to the senses. I simply love the twist. I definitely reccommend this to chic-lit lovers like me.
