Saving for a Durable Pair Shoes

admin — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 15:45:17 +0000

Just like I said in my other blogs, I am really fond of buying wallets and bags when I was younger. But when I got married and had three children, buying a bag or a wallet is already a miracle for me. But lately, I have been thinking, that if I should need to have something for myself, I should save for it and not wait for our family have a bigger extra from our income because it would be no way possible for it to happen.

So now, I know and everybody in the house knows that I need a new pair of shoes and they knew I have been eyeing one of those mbt shoes being sold online. I know it’s kind of pricey but knowing its durability, I know I would not need to buy another pair of shoes for the next few years. So, that means its budget friendly for me.

Anyway, I am planning to save up for it. I wanted to buy one for myself one of these days or months. It would be nice to have durable shoes again.

What Stage of Development Are You In?

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:42:16 +0000

I took a quiz at BlogThings.com and I find the results very sad. Honestly, I think I really needed a little love from someone right now but he is so selfish he wouldn’t share it to me. He is so occupied with his own well-being that he forgets that love is essential in a relationship.

You Are In Stage I

Even though you are far from being an actual infant, you are in the infant stage of development.

You are still figuring out the world around you, and you are still developing trust.

For whatever reason, you don’t have a lot of consistency in your life. It’s sometimes hard for you to cope.

If you’re not careful you can withdraw from the world. What you need is more people to love and more hope in your life.

What Stage of Development Are You In?

Something Happened

admin — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 15:32:12 +0000

I was really thinking of buying my husband some polo boots when I get my affiliate check earnings encashed the other week but something came up that I have to pass it up. A grave family problem came into our house that it caused us a lot of grief and monetary loss. Well, it was not really grave such as life and death situations but it was emotionally draining because it affected my marriage and also the children.

I don’t want to discuss it here since I really wanted to make this blog a happy one. So, if you want to know what it was all about, well, I guess you need to hunt it down in my other blogs. LOL!

Civil Engineering Turned Sales

admin — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 19:08:13 +0000

I am a sales professional by profession. Though I graduated from Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, my work experiences are all related to sales. I worked as a cashier, a sales lady, a sales trainer, and a branch sales head. All of my working life was all about sales and customer service.

So, how did this woman who was supposed to build steel buildings end up doing sales related jobs? Well, I got pregnant, got married, lost my desire to take the board exam just even once, and got consumed with the need to provide for an ever growing family – that simple! I just lost it, the desire to pursue my profession as a Civil engineer got lost when I was so overwhelmed with the tides of life. The responsibility of having growing kids got into me and I lost the desire to pursue myself.

Anyway, I didn’t regret not taking the board exam. In fact, even up until now, I still don’t want to take it. I realized that being a Civil Engineer is not really what I want. All I want wanted is to be a stay at home mommy who earns money online. Well, I got what I wanted but life isn’t perfect. There are still complications and we have to deal with it day by day!

Cars and More

admin — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 15:46:15 +0000

I was doing several posts about auto parts and cars from one of my blogs. At first, I thought I can’t do it because I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to cars. But luckily, I was able to put in several words and was able to create a sensible post. It was not all purely about car technicality but it was just my plain observations on how cars are in relation with women, life and family. So far, my post got approved and I have additional requests to write for more.

After that, I kept on wondering, if I was able to pull it off, can I now write posts about Ferrari parts and more? Well, not entirely about Ferrari but more about cars and other manly stuff. What do you think?

Unaccomplished Goals

admin — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 15:42:06 +0000

Another month has passed and still I can’t believe how time really flies. Next month would be September and it would be the start of the BER months which symbolizes the coming of the Christmas Season. It seems like it was yesterday that we celebrated Christmas Day and now, we are just a few months away till the next New Year!

Anyway, that reminds me that many of my goals have not seen completion. One of those goals is to have our kitchen faucet done. I already have an idea what item number of the displayed Moen kitchen faucets in the mall I want to be installed but up until now I haven’t been able to buy it. Another thing is my new savings goal, I really wanted to have it done earlier this year but unfortunately I wasn’t able to visit the bank to have it opened. Aside from the fact that I always ran out of money, I am always busy at home because we have no house help.

Sigh! I wish I can have at least a few goals done. If I don’t, it would be another unproductive year just like what I had last 2009.

Considering Faux Wood Blinds

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 04:22:19 +0000

I am seriously considering of buying faux wood blinds. I think installing blinds on our room would save me a lot in terms of money. Using blinds on windows would mean lesser laundry soap usage as we don’t need to wash it like curtains do. Aside from that, since dust won’t hold on to the blinds as much as curtains, that means my children will have lesser or no asthma attack at all! So this means lesser trip to the hospital resulting to lesser to no hospital bills, doctor’s fee and medicines!

So, what do you think? Is my idea great or excellent?

Page Rank Lost

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:04:34 +0000

When I bought this blog, it had a page rank of two and everyone was telling me I had a great deal. But then after a few days, I noticed that from page rank of two it went down to zero. The page rank it has was now lost!

Of course, I was sad for that matter. Losing this blog’s page rank made me kind of sad inside. We all know that page rank in most paid to blog companies are essential to get plenty of advertising offers coz if you don’t have one then you are bound to get nothing.

But still, I was not all completely sad. Though this blog lost its page rank, I am not that hopeless. I know that this blog will still get opportunities soon maybe not on page rank conscious companies, but in some other companies. Aside from that, at least the cuteness (theme) of this blog didn’t disappear together with its page rank. LOL!

Summer Savings with Plastic Pool

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:39:29 +0000

Last summer, I bought my children a big plastic pool like the image. I decided to buy them one so that they could enjoy the best of summer dipping to cool waters without even going to the beach or pool. It was a way for me to let them enjoy summer without too many expenses.

Anyway, after my children played with the plastic pool my mom would cover it with a big plastic that looks like hot tub covers. She said that she will recycle the water by using it to water the plants, wash clothes and clean the garage. She said that this could also help in saving from paying a big water bill monthly.

So far the summer went fine, even though I paid a few hundred more in my water bill but of course, it was already a great saving since we didn’t spend much in beach and pool escapades!
