So, I decided that I was going to buy my man a nice new watch for him to wear on his wrist. I started searching for the best watches under 500, and it did not take me long to find one that I thought was absolutely perfect for my man. It was well priced, and extremely stylish, and completely fell in line with his hopes and dreams when it comes to his fashion sense, which he doesn’t always know how to achieve, but he does know how to articulate how he wants to look. What better role for a wife to turn that into a reality, even though he is sometimes too stubborn to accept my suggestions. That’s just how men are I guess, and you have to love your man.

I stand by my man, despite so much stubbornness, and it always ends up going pretty well for me. However, I didn’t think that the watch was enough, and for my last gift he had bought me something that was extremely expensive, he got us tickets to a really nice weekend retreat, which did benefit him as well, but I felt awkward spending so little on him in comparison. We have a lot more money than we used to, and birthdays are a good way to show our appreciation, and when I was holding the watch I just thought it felt a little bit small.

So, I decided that I would also buy him a little something extra, and I went to my favorite site for reviews on outdoor gear, which is always prove me well in the past, it’s called Survival Cooking— basically it’s just a hub of extremely well written reviews on camping and other outdoor supplies. I know that it’s weird to say that I love you as well written, but damn. These are some very helpful reviews for wives like me who want to get their husband something, but don’t really know what they’re talking about or doing. Thank you survival cooking for being an amazing resource.

My cousin Bea will be having her 26^th birthday next month and we are planning to have a garden themed party for her. Bea loves flowers. She loves going out and it very adventurous. Our first plan is to have a beach party though I think it will not fit the schedule of many of her attendees. As you know some of her friends, and family members are all busy. Some are still students. Her family is also managing a convenient store business so I know this will be a tight schedule.

We talked last night about how she wants her party to be designed and we ended up planning to have a birthday party in their garden. Since we were kids, we always hang out in their garden because it’s always spacious and has a lot of things to do. They have playground there and a small swimming pool too! I know a lot of people will enjoy going there. She also told me she just bought last month some Adirondack chairs in the pool side so many could have seats. I plan to bring in some chairs too, depends on how many friends she wants to invite. As well as nice tables too. Maybe 3-6 tables will do.

Anyway, as we plan her garden party, we also talked about the dress code. We made sure everyone will be dressing up with floral prints, as well as summer themed outfits. She says she will be wearing a nice floral dress and she will pair it with a pair of brown leather boots. Take note, it is knee high! I am sure she will be the star of her birthday. As for me, I plan to just buy a nice pink blouse with a floral accent.

We also plan to give attendees flower crowns as they enter the garden to add more vibe to the garden themed party.

Garden themed party and a surprise!

I am very excited for all of our plans to be executed. Next week, we will have another meeting about the food we should prepare for our guests, as well as the decorations we will be using. I have already talked to one of our suppliers and she will show me some samples of the table decorations as well as the drapes they will put.

Hmm. what else? I am actually planning to have a little surprise for my cousin Bea. Maybe I will secretly invite her boyfriend, who is currently abroad working. Since it’s next month already, I should inform him of the plan so he can prepare and set his schedule first. I am sure he will make way for her. And maybe he can propose too! We do not know but who knows. right?

I will be updating you weekly about this garden themed party for my cousin and if you have comments and suggestions below about possible ideas and suppliers who can help us give her the best birthday bash she will have, please let me know guys!

Thankyou so much!

I was once in The Netherlands a couple of months ago. Unlike here, I saw how organized the traffic system there. You know I grew up to live in a community where there is always a traffic jam and sometimes, I end up being late in school, and eventually at work.

When I was there, I realized one thing that makes the roads in that place better, more convenient, and is hassle free. I learned that a lot of people are into electric scooter. In The Netherlands, they call it as the ‘elektrische scooter,’ a product which is really helpful to a lot of people.

I get to own, or rent perhaps, one of these from my former colleague. He is now living there and I end up renting his scooter because I need to do some errands within the city. His scooter is a black one. It has nice features and is really chic for a woman like me. My friend said there are a lot of colors to choose from and black was what he really liked from the colour range.

Well, if you ask me, I am really amazed by it. Aside from the fact that it is electric-run, it creates no noise at all. Also, it has a portable battery. And, it has a free helmet to use. What’s more amazing about this electric scooter is that it is really made for the city. Imagine a lot of people using it, traffic will no longer be a trouble for a lot of people anymore. This is something a lot of companies should learn from. And guess what, my friend told me it was delivered to him in no time. He told me about the fact that they really have a nice customer service which makes a client like him patronize them more. I hope, in my place, there will Unu Motors available in our place so that the traffic jam will have solution.
