My new Sunnies

Just got my new Sunnies!
and you know the best thing about it?

I got it for FREE! yey! :-)



Thanks to my private health fund. My optometrist approved that I can get sunnies in lieu of the normal glasses which I dont need. No matter how hard I trick cheat that reading test, it would still result to my 20/20 vision. Well, there was one Optometrist who said its 25/20 -- hahahaha :-)
I just couldnt accept that yearly, the benefit only goes to the Handsome Husband - yes,
new eyeglasses for Him each year! how unfair was that?

But, the God is gracious!!!! This year, he allowed me to get the benefit and score this:






It was PRADA. If I will buy this, it would cost me $$$$459!!! which never in my life will I decide to buy. 
I would rather give the money to my needy family back in the Philippines. I was choosing between this and a Purple Furla, but decided to get this instead as Furla is more expensive and I have to pay extra $$$.



Perhaps, another 2 years and I can get the Purple Furla. 
For now, I am more than happy to use this basic black sunglass. I can match it with any of my bags :-)




For all of you out there, if you have a private health fund, MBF/Medibank/HCF etc. you better go to your nearest optical shop and see if you can also avail of a FREEBIE. You have until 30th of June before the new financial year starts, so dont waste the benefit!


Chux Magic Eraser

The time that the "Martians" scribbled some "art" in our small home, I was devastated.
I was worried that we will spend a lot of money repainting our walls.

They used a black ball point pen coupled with a purple texter. Huhuhuhu!!!!




Indeed, the Lord has his ways!
I chanced upon the free stuff I got from The Royal Easter Show and found this:





I was very excited to try to check if it really works.

You just have to damp the foam like eraser and start slowly scrubbing the affected area





with The Handsome Husband documenting my little experiment


Voila!


Pardon my hand, its dry and wrinkled! I was born with it. Perhaps, I can try hand creams next :-)


Its amazing! Our walls restored like brand new again.
We saved at least $300! from not repainting our walls.
Could never been happier!

Winter Blues

Its lunchtime and my energy level is now down to 10%. I badly need a can of redbull.
My mornings are a rush. And this morning was INSANELY tiresome.
I brought the kids to school. Prepped their brekky and lunches.
Walked back to my office. Answered emails and numerous phonecalls.
Attended Tenants concerns. Reported to my Boss.
I started pulling my uncombed hair down and realized I AM TIRED. I AM HUNGRY.
I blame it on this COLD WINTER WEATHER! coupled with the rain pouring outside.
Sydney is definitely officially cold!  My days are now gloomy and nights are dreary.
No, Winter does not agree with me, and neither do I, with her.

When Mother nature has gone psycho:
My clients laugh at me because I’m wrapped in my coat inside the office the whole day.
I shiver in the chilled foods aisle at the grocery.
I whinge as soon as the temperature falls below 25C.
Computer work is a challenge when my hands are stone cold.
I think of a lot of excuses so we can order home delivery and so I will not cook.
Sometimes I just don't feel like doing anything but curl up in bed and sleep all day.
I tend to spend too much on Winter clothes.



My prayers:

Lord please help me survive this season.

Lord please don't make it too cold.

Lowenbrau Keller, The Rocks

Its lunchtime and me and my friend/workmate couldnt decide on what to eat!
I dont know whats happening but I just couldnt stop thinking about PORK KNUCKLES!

I suddenly remembered that I do have photos when we ate at Lowenbrau Keller at The Rocks last year. Here are the photos:


We started with this Mushroom crunchy thin crust pizza


  Im SALIVATING!!!!
The EXTRAVAGANT Schlachtplatte!!! with Roasted Pork Knuckle; I gained 2 kilos after eating this :-)
Crispy outside and moist inside, salty, slightly sweet and buttery crackling,flavourful meat. Superlatively delicious!


The Handsome Husband ready to devour voraciously!


Im a big fan of cheese platters!



Lowenbrau is Sydney’s most famous Munich Style Bavarian restaurant.
Its an absolutely beautiful place. They have Cute waiters in lederhosen and waitresses in low cut traditional dresses. Inside the restaurant, we felt like we were in Germany!



Lowenbrau Address

Cnr Playfair St & Argyle St

Furla Candy Bag

Here's my new bag obsession:



Aren't they pretty? Looks yummy too :-)
I seriously couldnt stop thinking and dreaming about them!
Im leaning towards the blue or red or yellow or pink or green..or whatever colour! I just wanna have one!
The handsome husband already approved my Mother's day bag wish which was the Cambridge Satchel (purple) and have yet to arrive. Sooo I have to save money or think of ways to get more moolah so I can buy any one of these :-(

Sadly, i still couldnt find where I can buy these here in Sydney. I called the Furla shop in Canberra but they said they didnt order these and they have no plans of ordering it soon :-(  The only way is buy it directly from Furla in the US and ask my friends to send it via courier to me which would again attract shipping costs, huhuhu!!!
