Now that Halloween is over, we have Christmas to look forward to. To be honest, I am pretty excited already. There’s a list of things that is under consideration but people say sometimes the closer it is to Christmas, the better the bargain would be. So, I’m still keeping my eyes open for some items. Hoping to get a good deal.

There are websites that I like to visit once a week – now every other day – to look for a good deal. One of my favourites is buy.com. Their Christmas deal list is already up, but the weekly deal isn’t bad either. There’s the Fantom GreenDrive Pro 2TB eSATA external hard drive which I think, at $99, is quite a good deal. Someone I know, would love to get that as a present.

Well, looking forward to the real Christmas shopping. Buying, packing and giving presents are equally as fun as receiving them.

Some people say that  “absence makes the heart grows fonder”. I am not sure whether it is true with other people, but for me it proves to be quite true. And in this time and age, distance is no longer an issue not to show this fondness with a little ‘something’. Especially when you have a site like Proflowers.com.

They specialize in fresh flower bouquets, gourmet gifts, and basket gifts delivery services around the world for all occasions — anniversaries, valentine, birthdays, Thank you, Get well soon or just thinking about. They purvey a large assortment of choices at affordable prices. Not forgetting the ProFlowers coupon codes that can help you save even more.

So the next time you need to send a gift across the ocean, there’s no easier way than just visit proflowers.com, select a gift, and get it delivered.

They say, ‘First love cuts the deepest’. Perhaps it is true for pets as well? My first ever pet or pets are two terrapin turtles – Henny (Henrietta) and Herbie. I got them from the neighbour. When I first got them they were no bigger than my palm. Very, very cute.

As small terrapins they were easy to take care and they don’t each much.(They don’t try to snap your finger off either) I gave them some turtle pellets everyday. But they grow eventually until they could not fit in their small aquarium or tank any longer. I wish I had a nice pond, complete with decorations, pond plants and all, but we didn’t have the space. So they ended up in a big basin behind the house.

When I left for college, the responsibility to care for them became my mom’s (the fate of parents when their kids leave the house or got bored of the pets. :p). However, one unfortunate rainy day, my turtles escaped and got lost forever (went into the nearby drain). That was what I was told at least because I was away at that time.

To be frank, I still feel a bit of guilt that they dissappeared. I do hope that nothing bad happened to Henny and Herbie and that they found happiness or a better place to stay.

Haven’t been able to blog much here past few weeks. On holiday mood.  Not on vacation to somewhere exotic, but just visiting the places that we haven’t been to nearby. However, we will be going out of town for a few days. Spending time in a village and go exploring old castle ruins around the vicinity. Exciting!!

Looking forward to the long drive, counting the milestones and the convex mirrors that we see by the roadside with my little girl.

So I finally took the plunge and ordered a pair of glasses from Zenni opticals. That is after watching video reviews and reading reviews after reviews about their eyeglasses and services. (I love reading reviews and information about products be it for gadgets like Ipod touch or even human growth hormone side effects) I ordered it on the 26th of last month and my glasses was despatched on the 5th of this month and it started on its journey to me yesterday.

I’m waiting for my glasses with all the hopes that it will reach me safely and would work well.
