I’m still trying to figure out if I can give out gifts this Christmas. I don’t have enough funds this year so I am hoping to get something cheap but useful for my family and friends. I know they understand my money situation but I still would like to buy them something.
I hope I get enough moolah before Christmas, if not I’ll just try to make it up on their birthdays.
I currently share a room with my 4 siblings (technically 3 since one of my sisters only visit every other week since she works in alabang) and decorating the room is a huge task. Since I’m the eldest, my decisions weigh more than what they want so I have full discretion on how our room will look like. Since we’re getting an AC soon, we need beddings that will match well with the curtains we bought. I prefer neutral and calming colors so I decided to search online for inspiration. I found peacock alley bedding and found a couple of designs I liked. I really loved the Tivoli and Marcella, and the Corsica design looked really nice too. Since they ship internationally, I can order there or I can just ask our relatives to order it and have them ship it to us through a Balikbayan box.
November has been a really slow month for me. I got sick with flu for a week and then I started getting really lethargic after. The month got better during Black Friday since I was able to pickup a couple of great deals like four $0.99 domains and $1 MaxCDN subscription. I did have to stay up for $36 hours since I’m on a different timezone but it was worth it. I’m planning on staying up again later to catch one more $0.99 domain from NameCheap’s Cyber Monday deals. Who knows I might also find some other deals like for Web-Est.com auto estimating software or if I have enough funds, maybe a HostGator account.
I haven’t really watched movies in theaters since DVDs and torrents. I only go to the cinema for local movies that isn’t usually available in DVD and torrents. The last time I went to the cinema was during my dinner and movie date with my siblings for the first part of Harry Potter 7. The other time I went for a movie in a theater before that was with my bestfriend and we watched The Guardian, which starred Ashton Kutcher and Kevn Costner.
We’re shopping around for speakers that we can use for our movie nights. There are lots of choices online like the Energy speakers which seems like a good one to get since our main purpose for the speakers would be movie screening. I’m just not sure if there’s a local store selling it. I’ve been searching for good brands and products online so I have a good list with me when we go speaker hunting on our local malls. 
One of my favorite movies is Twister. I really love it, especially Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. I remember they have underground shelters or storm cellars to hide in when a tornado comes, sometimes they used makeshift ones like the underground mechanic shop near the drive-in.
It’s good to see storms in movies but I really don’t like them in real life, especially when they cause excessive flooding. I remember how bad it was during Ondoy and flooding happened again during the other two storms, Peping and Mina.
