House Updates

Posted by Leah as Aussie Life, Family, Home Front, One for the Piggy Bank

Well, the house is ours now and anytime next week would be settlement day. All the while, we thought that everything has been ironed out now as we have not heard from our broker or solicitor. Then earlier this week, while still in Cebu, my brother-in-law told us that our solicitor needs a statutory declaration for me to sign.

We were so disappointed because this was something we could have accomplished before we left for our holidays. The hassle of having to bring the document to the Australian embassy to have a consul witness me signing the document (and providing proof of identity by presenting my passport) and paying a big sum of money just to have it sent ASAP all could have been avoided had it been foreseen by our solicitor while we were still in Oz.

Well, it is no use crying over spilled milk now. Let’s just hope that there’ll be no more hitches and settlement day pushes through as originally planned.

Back in the metro

Posted by Leah as Health, Home Front, One for the Piggy Bank, Travel

After a week long’s stay in the queen city of the south, we are finally back home in Manila. It was great catching up with old friends and relatives but, I am tired as hell. Apart from trying to keep up with our ever-active Erin, I got my period on the first day of our trip. It’s a good thing zits did not make an appearance this month. Otherwise, I would have resorted to natural acne treatment to get rid of them.

Anyway, I’ve managed to upload all the photos from our trip onto my laptop. I’ll probably get down to posting them maybe in the next few days. In the meantime, I am getting myself a good massage to ease all my aches and pains. Be back soon!

Happy Woman

That’s me.

While they’re out there playing a couple of games on their xbox 360, I, on the other hand, have been busy doing the following:

• had a great massage in the comforts of our room
• got the works at the salon (haircut, cellophane, foot spa and eyebrow shaping)
• met up with relatives and old friends

That’s only a few things on the top of my head. And I still got at least 6 more weeks to do more of the pampering stuff. Yes, I am certainly living the life!
