The Story of my September

Hi everyone :) hope you're all having a good start this October.

It's been almost a month since I last post here, my apologies. September has been very difficult to me :( I'm sick almost the whole month-allergy, flu and asthma. Dear Husband went on a month long business trip in Europe (Spain & France) and I got stuck at home doing all the chores because it's been 2 months already since I let go of my house help. This has been the longest time that I don't have a house help ever since I got married (nearly 11 years ago). I'm surprised that I'm surviving :) I appreciate the silence. House chores is not really hard if you'll just manage your time properly. I can suddenly cook, laundry, iron and you can name any house hold chores-I've done it all. The only downside is my time on my garden lessened. I can no longer spend longer time with my beloved roses. But as I can see, they seem to be okay, they bloom as much as they did before. 

The iOS 7 was released and it took my iphone5 8 hours to finally download it while my ipad took a shocking 10 hours, however i love it! I just hope that they put some color on the SMS background and the Notes App, plain white is just boring. I hope that sometime soon they will come out with phone themes.

I already put up the Christmas Tree, i know it's too early but it's raining for almost a week and I got so bored. I decided to use the classic colors-red, green and gold. I had a hard time reaching the top of the tree, it's 9 feet high. (photos soon) :)

And since DH's already back from Europe, here's few of his gifts :)

Laduree macarons at it's finest. Yihee!

It looked terrible coz DH didn't hand carry it. 

Teas.

China Glaze's nail polish.

And some keychains.

And lastly, I was fortunate enough to hear a mass, be blessed, meet and have a photo with Italian priest Rev. Fr. Ermelindo Di Capua, the priest who took care of Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina before he joined our Creator. I literally cry when he touched my head. I was so grateful. My faith has never been this rejuvenated, replenished and reassured. I cried even more when he said that "I hope you can visit and I can see you in San Giovanni Rotondo, Foggia in Italy". I hope so too Father. I hope I will be more fortunate enough to meet you again there and see how Saint Pio of Pietrelcina lived his life. 

So guys, how was your September? :)

xoxo,
