Dreaming of our Own Business...

It’s my husband and mine’s dream to open up our own business. While we were renting we didn’t have any opportunity to start one because the rent already eats a chunk of our budget so it’s hard for us to save. Now that we’ll be finally free from rent expenses starting next month I wish we can slowly save for our dream business. We have a small space in front of the house that we can convert into a store and the location where the house is located is ideal for business because a lot of people pass by there. Once we have our own store we...

Gift for Hubby this Father’s Day...

This year’s Father’s Day would fall on June 20th 2010.  Since my gift to hubby backfired – John Mayer, why did you cancel your concert here? – I’m again thinking of an appropriate gift for him.  Girls are easy to please – diamonds can make any woman happy but men… sigh!  So far I have already given him a watch which he needed before, he has already bought himself a guitar which he also needed but aside from those things I can’t think of anything else.  Oh yes, I know he needs a garage but I couldn’t give him that. ...

Dream Home...

Designing our home is one of my dream. I dream of a picture perfect home like the ones you see in magazines. I can’t do it right now because we’re still renting but some day I look forward to shopping for our home. I would furnish it with contemporary modern furniture with clean lines and with a timeless color motif. Of course, I would put some matching outdoor décor at our garden. Oh well,  I hope I don’t have to wait too long for my dream to be realized.  We are already a growing family.  I don’t know how to fit two children in our two...

Dick Gordon for President...

It’s ten days before the Philippine elections and I’m already filled with nervousness. I never thought I would be this concerned since I’m not really an activist but it’s hard not to be concerned. After installing Arroyo in office as a result of the infamous People Power 2 we watched awestruck how she morphed from an intelligent lady to a power hungry monster. I’m finally sighing with relief now that she’s finally stepping down and feeling hopeful that the next president is going to be a selfless and effective leader who loves his...

It’s Hotter than Ever...

We’re in the middle of the summer season in our country. It’s so hot that night time offers no relief. Yes, the temperature is still hot after the sun has set. We’re reduced to turning on our AC unit for at least 8 hours a day. As early as now I am already dreading our electric bill. Last month we paid $60 for electricity which was 100% more than what we usually pay and we were not even using our AC as much as we’re using it now. How I wish we can avail one of those Branson vacation packages. Surely it’s so much cooler there than where...

Worried About Hubby...

I’m really worried about hubby’s health. His job is taking a toll on his health. He arrives home so tired. All would be well if only he could sleep but he can’t sleep that well at home. He would sleep just a few hours and then no matter how we try to stay quiet one small sound and he would be wide awake. Then no matter how hard he tries to fall back asleep he couldn’t go back to sleep. So he’s been going to work night after night with little sleep. He has become overweight and he’s having allergies that he hasn’t had before....

Looking for Online Degrees...

I’m currently looking for online degrees.  After years of not knowing what I wanted I finally know now that I want something like internet marketing.  Yes, I’m passionate about that and too bad I didn’t know that I wanted to just stay at home and work online when I was in college.  If only I knew then I wouldn’t have taken the course that I did.  Well, no need to cry about that I also learned a lot from my course.  Thank God I can study again and earn a degree online without leaving my babies behind.  Aside from being convenient I can also...

Baby’s Passport Application –...

Applying for your baby’s passport need not be stressful.  Gone were the days when people have to line up under the heat of the sun before they can get their passport. I remember I always see on TV how long the lines were for people applying for their passports. If they were unfortunate enough and can’t complete it in a day then they have to go back the next day and endure the same fate again. This experience can be what I call an acne-inducing experience. Acne would surely break out and the only thing I can offer for relief is a bottle of...

A Birthday Party for Me...

In a few days I will be celebrating my birthday.  Hubby told me to prepare tomorrow so we can buy my cake a day early. Our car won’t be available on Thursday because of the color coding scheme so he said we should just go to the mall tomorrow.  He was asking me what I wanted for my birthday.  I said there will be a small celebration with my neighbor friends.  I’m already racking my brain on what to feed them as I’m no expert in cooking.  Maybe I’ll just serve them cohiba cigars together with the usual pasta just so they’ll remember my...
