Girl Bonding

June 20, 2010 by Sheila | A B & Me 2 Comments

My dear cousin and I went out today. She was supposed to get her passport renewed at the embassy but we were told to come back on another day since they are already full. We took a number and scheduled the task for next week.

Then we decided to meet with her friend in Dubai Marina. I must say, the view from the 23rd floor blew me away! It was so awesome that I forgot that I have a camera…I even forgot my name for a bit. Just thinking about waking up every morning to that view gives me goosebumps!

After spending some time in the Marina, we decided to stop by Nazih (this is where I get my OPI stuff). It’s just like Alanis Morisette‘s song, Ironic. We passed by the store, no available parking space. So we had to go back and park like a block away. Then we walked in 45 C heat. When we arrived at the door, there exactly in front of the store, parking space. Unoccupied. GAAHH!

Anyhow, I had a chit chat with the girls in there. Still no new collections. Oh, I think they did have Alice in Wonderland Collection but it’s all gone now, except for Absolutely Alice (which I don’t really like). I just bought my polish thinner, a base coat and a glass file. They told me that they’ll be having new stocks by July… what year? I dunno.

Then we went to Festival City. We stopped by the essence booth coz I wanted to check if they have the Into The Wild Collection already (nope, they don’t) and if they’re going to have the Eclipse Collection. As much as Len is helpful, she wasn’t really sure if the new collection will come. But she did give my cousin a make over. And then she told me to sit, no…she commanded me to sit. Yep, got a make over too. Nothing fancy but it’s enough to make us feel special.

Then we went to Ikea to check out some mattresses and do some camwhoring. Treated ourselves with a couple of hotdogs and went home. I had fun. Wish everyday is like this.

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

    hi Pam! Thanks for the compliment. I don’t really wear make up often and I suck at posing for the cam. LOL. I think I got this one right. 😀

Hello!

Hey there!
We’re a Filipino family of four figuring things out in California after living in Dubai for years. This space is part blog, part memory box—where we share life lately, parenting wins and fails, travels, and everything in between.

Sometimes it’s deep, sometimes it’s funny, but it’s always honest. Thanks for hanging out with us!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)

You’re really a hard habit to break.
