8th of July finally arrived. The Jubilee Line to Wembley Park Station was filled with black-shirted fans. Even hubby wore a black shirt! I decided against it so my tangerine blouse stood out in the crowd. Wembley was like a gathering for goths of all ages.

I enjoyed the opening acts, all of whom I didn’t know. But I enjoyed men-watching, too. Too bad for hubby the scores of women were nearly all scary-looking. For the second time in my life I realised how papables some of the young ones these days. Who can blame women for wanting toyboys, eh? Tingnan nyo na lang itong ibang nakuhanan ko ng pictures.

J, if you’re reading this, there have been a lot of times I’ve wanted to take pictures for you & finally eto na. Sensya na at slight lang dahil baka mahalata ako nung mga katabi kong kinukuhanan ko sila.

Of course I also took pictures of the historic place:I also took a LOT of videos. If you want to hear some awesome guitar lovemaking, check out the following:

The concert was sold out but huge Wembley wasn’t even full. Hubby said there were 30K people that night, grabe. For fear of getting crushed going home, we took off after Metallica sang their last song: Enter Sandman. They did two more encores, sana wag namang “Of Wolf and Man”. Kundi sasakalin ko asawa ko.

I enjoy window shopping once in a while, but mostly of clothes and shoes. But my husband is a keen home furnishing window shopper, which is fine by me, I like it too. Besides if I get tired, I can just flop down in any of the sofas or beds on display.

But letting your fingers do the walking is much better, especially if the website has everything you might need. FurnitureFromHome.Com has Home Office Furniture, Dining Room Furniture, and living room furniture. It also provides other accessories you might want to decorate your house with. It’s really a complete furniture store.

I have been browsing through the website a few days ago and I already liked the layout of their site. Today I just noticed that they have items on sale! Some of the items on offer will really look nice at my place.

We have been thinking of knocking down our dividing wall & create a single flow to the lounge. We will definitely need some new formal dining room furniture. As I have a son I did look for a bedroom set for boys and found none. There was one for unisex and a couple of bedroom sets for girls, though. It was disappointing they don’t cater so much for the boys.

The real downside for me is the shipping of the items. I don’t mind the prices, they’re really reasonably priced but to get them over here, I’d have to pay duty taxes on them. Also their focus is obviously on furniture (that’s their name) but it would have been nicer to just cater for the entire house & include some nice bathroom fixtures, too. They could also add in garden furnishings and even more accessories and decorations for the home, that way it’s really a one-stop shop especially for new home owners.

I found this quote by Germaine Greer (from this site.) that really sums up the Tube experience.

“Even crushed against his brother in the Tube the average Englishman pretends desperately that he is alone.“

Is it the same thing in New York? Because I’m pretty sure in Manila the LRT experience is very sociable. For one you’re always aware and conscious of the people around you for fear of pickpockets. And for me as a college student there was even the odd flirtatious socialization, too.

Hubby and I got our first car in 2005. I have to admit I’m not a car-person. I don’t care about the model, as long as I like it. But the hubby is a different story. He was obsessed in finding the “right” car. He bought a LOT of magazines, week after week and month after month. And he also visited a number of car dealerships.

After 2 years, he’s thinking of selling the car and getting a new one. So what does he do? He picked up his old routine again. Every time we go to the supermarket he grabs the latest car magazines on the rack, both free and commercial. I’ve been “recycling” a minimum of 4 magazines a month since his obsession began.

Well, look what I found in PPP. It’s very rare I get to choose a UK-based opportunity and it’s always by sheer luck that they are merchants I can actually use! BuyYourCar is a relatively new online Used Car search, in fact they’ve only gone live in August 2006. But you know the cliché “age doesn’t matter” is true in their case. This is a fantastic website for people like my husband as they get to see multiple car dealers in one place. And if you’re a dealer, being able to show ALL your wares to the most number of potential customers is what you want.

2004 was memorable. It was the year my son was born and it was also the year, hubby & I, got our first house in England. Our criteria were: safe neighbourhood, good schools nearby, close to public transportations, a good size garden and no-immediate-refurbishment-work.

We’re lucky we found all that in less than a month, though closing the deal was actually traumatic. Anyway, three (3) years on and the only home improvement we’ve done so far is remove the carpets and go with a hardwood floor. I’m allergic to dust and with a baby, I cannot deal with maintaining the carpet flooring.

But if we do have “more” money (never say you don’t have any), we already have plans on real home improvements. I want a new kitchen and a ground floor rear extension. Hubby wants to remove the dividing wall between the lounge and the dining room to create more space. I want an upstairs toilet and shower room. I want the loft converted to a spare room, perhaps a proper office? Alas, I’ll have to wait another year to get even one of those things done.
