I Don't Care for My Weakness
as I thought, I am a quite self-sufficient person.
You're a pretty traditional person. If it's lasted, it's probably good.
You seek stability - both in your career and your romantic relationship.
In return, you're very loyal and predictable. Which is usually a good thing.
Without a partner, you feel lost. Being with someone is very important to you.
Your strength: Your dependability
Your weakness: You hate being alone
Your power color: Midnight blue
Your power symbol: Shell
Your power month: April

Gratitude Jar
So I saw a post from one of my Facebook friends about a gratitude jar at the start of this year and I thought, what a nice way to teach the Tatapilla about being thankful. So I copied the idea and made one for us. He'll use the blue post it notes and the other colours are mine.
Like New Year resolutions we were quite good and diligent on the first few days but it all went down the drain when the holiday was over and I went back to work and then school started. Of course, we are still thankful but we don't write them anymore. We just say them.
This idea has merits. I am looking forward to opening the jar and reading the notes. I might remove the year label and make it it our forever thankful jar. MYbe, open it when he is on his 20's.

I Told You, Yellow!
It's taken me years to figure out what my favourite colours are. And I suppose, they keep on changing depending on my moods. But currently, I am leaning on yellow.
When I bought this blanket at Costco, the boy at the counter said "interesting choice". I said, I just want something bold. I couldn't find matching pillow or sham cases here or I didn't really try harder. These came from the Philippines. My sister bought five pairs for a very good price so I asked for two pairs. Lol. To match my blankets of course.

Recalled Product
We usually hear or see in telly the downside of being a loyalty
member of Department Stores or Supermarkets.
I can’t remember seeing news about the upside of being one. I suppose, it can be deemed as free
advertising and one shouldn’t give these multi-million if not billion businesses
a free ride. As I vow to be more grateful
and thankful, I am going to talk about one of the benefits of being a member
that I experienced recently.
With scanning your card when shopping, your
spending and shopping habits are being tracked.
I know for some people, it is equivalent to invasion of privacy to some
extent. I don’t mind, I have nothing to
hide. If anything, I like it sometimes
as I get offers for products that I usually buy. One of the good things for having your
shopping habit tracked is that, if you bought a recalled product, they send you
an email. I received an email last year
about a double-adaptor (not for firewire audio interface, no). It took me awhile to round up those as I
bought two packs of 2. I took them to
the shops last week and got a refund.

Accommodation
In our previous trip, we have been staying at an apartment with complete kitchen and dining facilities. I couldn't get hold of their office a week before our trip so I decided to look for accommodation somewhere else.
I checked the hotel that my friend recommended and it looks okay. Affordable, free breakfast, fee wifi,close to the location that we know. All good. Plus we are only staying for a couple days only.
The moment we stepped in our room, we couldn't help comparing it with the apartment that we stayed before. As Mcj said, this hotel makes the apartment look a lot better. And that's saying a lot. The apartment is an old building but the amenities and facilities are all in good quality and condition.
Let it be known that, we are not going to be repeat customers here. The only good thing going for us here is it has transport service to and from the airport, which mind you is not free but just the convenience of having a service readily available is good.
Let me say that this hotel is not something to write home to.
