Wedding gift

It is my cousins’ wedding next month and her request wedding gift from me is a coffee maker. She said her ‘husband to be’ loves drinking coffee and she wanted to make him happy by of course preparing a very rich in aroma coffee. Do you know where I can find the best online store for coffee makers? I already search the net but so far most of those I found were so expensive. I hope I could find a good and affordable coffee maker before the wedding day comes.

Envious

My friend told me yesterday that she’s envious with our former classmate’s sexy body. She saw her pictures in facebook and she learned that she has two kids already. Having two kids has no effect on her, she still maintained her slim figure. I wonder how she managed to do that. Me and my friend have two kids also but sad to say we’ve really grown bigger and bigger as the years past by. Hayzz, I hope I can buy fitness equipment so I could do work out at home. I really have no time to go to fitness gym since I’m a working mom.

Oh well, I hope I can find an affordable fitness equipment when we shop this weekend, SM will have a mallwide sale.Yippee!
