My Super Awesome Present

February is going fast and March is approaching and though it will be my birthday and anniversary month, I am not expecting any anniversary or birthday gifts this year from Azwaj as I already got my awesome gift last December. It is of course my super wonderful Samsung Galaxy Note. Because of this wonderful gadget,  I no longer need a calendar this year as I am making full use of its notes features to keep keep track of all my jobs and tasks. As my eyesight is also failing in my “old” age, I am so loving the huge screen which makes everything so easy to see.. lol!

Loving my advance present for sure.. Thanks Azwaj!

Happy Weekend

Now that mommy has gone home, it’s just me, Azwaj and the kitties once again and time to get back to work (vacation mode over.. boohoo). It’s raining now and once again my laundry day is pushed back yet another day. It’s just as well I guess, I am in no mood to handle the massive load and I desperately need to get more hangers so I can get them out to dry.

In the meantime, I just want to switch on the small chandeliers in the living room, make myself a cup of my favorite coffee and catch on some tv watching. Speaking of tv watching, need to remind myself to call Astro on Monday as the decoder seems to have a life of its own. It sort of turned mute on us each time the show gets interesting causing me and mom grief when we were watching a tv drama the other day. I keep having to softly knock the decoder so that the sound will come on again…. lol.. me and my knocking right? (well if it works…).

Anyway I love the chandelier lighting in the living room because I can dim it to as low as I want. You know me and darkness. At least this way I can enjoy watching tv but still with a little illumination.

Have a great weekend all!

Vintage Jewelry for a Change

Women and jewelry always go hand in hand. I don’t know about you but I always love a little bling bling on my neck, fingers, ears and wrist. Sometimes a plain outfit can shine with with the right jewelry or accessories making you a hit at any event.

While a lot of ladies opt for new pieces of jewelry with the latest design to add to their collection, sometimes vintage jewelry can really make a statement too. Some of the vintage jewelry online that I found screams history and so gorgeous that I will definitely consider if I had the money.

Take this piece for instance, the “Embraceable You Diamond Engagement Ring”. This ring mount dated back to 1935 and has been lovingly preserved for its next owner. The description for this piece is “It is set with an H color brilliant cut diamond, with VS2 clarity, the gem is an .80 carats in weight. Its platinum mount of filigree is hand engraved in script to the interior, “W.I or J.H. to A.L. 1935.” On each side of the central diamond are 3 single cut diamonds set into arches, for a total other diamond weight of .06 carats.” I think any woman would squeal in delight to accept this an an engagement ring or even a Valentine’s Day Gift.. (ahem ahem)

What qualifies as vintage jewelry, you may ask? Well according to the Wiki “Jewelry which is termed ‘vintage’ includes many decades or eras. Each era has many different designs. These eras include Georgian, Early Victorian, Mid-Victorian, Late Victorian, Arts and Crafts era, Art Nouveau, Edwardian, Art Deco and Retro. People confuse Retro with estate jewelry. The word “estate” in “estate jewelry” does not refer to jewelry coming from the estate of the deceased. Estate simply means previously owned”

So, if you looking to get more jewelry, Vintage ones might be a nice change to your collection.  Have fun!

Cheerio…
