passport+havaianas+a new baby!

I'm not in hiatus nor on leave, I'm just so darn busy I can't believe its been more than a week since I last opened my blog. There's just so much work in the office, that I can't find the time to even read or visit one single blog site. And on weekends, I'm a domestic goddess! So by the time I enter our room I would rather lay in bed to rest my aching back than sit in front of the computer. So forgive me if I have been neglecting my blog for these past few days. It was not a choice. Promise.

So what have I been doing for the past week aside from working my butt off to meet my target? (which I didn't hit..didn't even 80% each 90%, argh!).

Well last week, I went to the Department of Foreign Affairs to update my passport to show my married name and also applied for AJ's passport ( just in case we push through with our Disneyland plans). I am so amazed how organized the people are in DFA, considering that they are a government agency and how efficient they worked and processed all those applicants. I arrived there at 6:50am and I was already their 00356 and 00357th applicant. I waited for about 20 minutes before my documents were verified and 15 minutes for the assessment and approval. I was done before 8 am which was a very big improvement because the last time I applied for a passport, it took me 4 hours to finish. But I don't want to wait in line to get our passport, so I just have it delivered in the office after a week.


I'm no havaianas addict, but sometimes circumstances has its way around me. At the time where I need to give in to my impulse just to make my self happy and forget about a bad day at work, I found myself falling in line at the entrance of the all flip flops store . I didn't know what the long lines was for, others say there's a sale (P100/pair.. are u kidding me!?). What the heck, I joined the line and when I was near the door, I found out that the line was for the arrival of the new design... the slim edition. I planned to buy one since I've already spent almost 40 minutes waiting for my turn. But then I saw this Havaianas baby sandals and was so excited to get AJ a pair... then I saw this high look flops in cafe color and I have to have it... hahaha! When it was my turn to pay at the cashier, I saw a slim flops in prata claro (silver) and got that too... when I left the store I have 2 flip flops and 1 baby flops for AJ. I don't call myself a shopaholic for no reason. Hehehe!

Speaking of baby, one of my newlywed friend, Kim is having a baby! I called her up out of the blue and not knowing that she's keeping a big news to her self. I'm so happy to give her my unsolicited first hand advices based on experience... and I'm already looking forward to the baby shower and the baby Q&As.

Those were the highlights of my week...I hope February will be more forgiving...
