One thing that I learned from my husband is that you should not just rely on your job as your only source of income. He thought me that we should take a risk and invest. He invested on real estate which is one of the assets that doesn’t depreciate in time.

He likes investing in tangible assets such as real estate and now he is looking at a new investment, he is considering to buy gold coins.

Gold is a very steady investment as like real estate, it doesn’t depreciate in time. But unlike real estate, it is universally accepted so it can be readily converted to cash. One of the advantages of gold coins over real estate is that it is also very easy to store and handle as it can be easily stored in a safety vault or for storage at any local banks.

I am sure investing in gold coins is another good investment that hubby will make.

Unexpected car repairs are one of the things that I hate because buying auto parts is really very expensive. But all of that has changed ever since we discovered EverDrive.

EverDrive is an online store where we can buy used auto body parts. They have in their store over 1 million auto parts so you can definitely find the auto parts that you are looking for any make or model of your car. And what is good about buying used auto parts is it is so affordable as it is 50% cheaper than buying brand new parts. And even if they are cheaper and used already, their customers will be guaranteed high quality auto parts since EverDrive test all their auto parts before selling it. They are really confident with their used auto parts that they give three year warranty to all their products.

Thank goodness for EverDrive at least if our car breaks down again, we now have a place to buy our auto parts at a price that we can really afford.

The rainy months are almost here and so hubby wants to start another project to prepare for the rainy season. Hubby is now looking at replacing the roofing of our house as most of the sheets are broken already that rain will surely get in our house once it started to rain.

He heard a lot of good things about Ondura’s roofing and hubby is really convinced that we will definitely buy our roofing materials from them. Their roofing materials are so easy to install, is stylish, is very easy to maintain and is so durable that it will surely last longer. They are so confident of the quality of their products that they are even offering lifetime warranty on their roofing materials.

Good thing it is a non-working holiday tomorrow so hubby can start working on this small project of his so it will be finish before the rainy months.

My good friend from college visited me last night so we can discuss the preparations for their upcoming wedding this January 2011. I am helping them with their wedding preparations since I am a bit verse with wedding preparations because I was a hands on bride-to-be before.

Their reception and church venue is already booked but they are still looking for other suppliers like the caterer, florist, wedding coordinator and the like. I told them that aside from the church and reception venue, the next major supplier that they need to book is their wedding photographer.

A wedding photographer Richmond, like David Proett, is one of the in demand wedding supplier so it is important to book them early so they will be sure that they will be able to hire a photographer that will really capture all the important events in their wedding.

They have been preparing for their wedding for almost a year now so it is really important to get a good photographer who can capture everything so they will have a keepsake photos that they can come back to for years to come.

Tomorrow will be the inauguration of the 15th President of the Philippines. And to celebrate that important event in our history, Cebu Pacific is having a P15 seat sale.

Booking period for this seat sale starts now until June 30, 2010, which is valid for travel from October 1 to November 30, 2010.

All domestic destinations are up for grabs for the ‘Go Lite’ seat sale fare of P15 while the international destinations are available for the ‘Go Lite’ seat sale fare of P1,500. 150,000 seats are up for grabs for this seat sale so start booking your tickets now.

November is the birthday month of our princess so I am thinking to book a ticket either to Hong Kong or Singapore. I tried checking yesterday for Hong Kong flights but only weekday seats are available and since B is already going to big school, I don’t think this is a good idea. I will try again later and if I find a good date, I guess it is a sign that we are meant to travel again this coming November (but no big birthday party for B).

One of my friends is really interested in becoming a nursing assistant as she knows that it is one of the professions today that offers good pay. She has been doing a lot of research about this profession until she discovered the site of CNA Board.

It is easy to become a certified nursing assistant, the first step is to get a cna training and CNA Board has all the information that my friend needs on the schools that provide cna state training programs where she can get the training that she needs to prepare her for the can state exam. After finishing the training, she just needs to pass the CNA state exam and then she can apply right away as a certified nursing assistant and CNA Board can help her again in applying as the site also provides information on the work places where my friend can apply. I am sure with the help of CNA Board, my friend can get a job as a certified nursing assistant.

I don’t cook. And it has been a tradition already in our family that we all have our lunch and dinner at our grand mother’s house as it is my family’s bonding time together. But my grand mother is not getting any younger already and it is really difficult to maintain the family tradition now that my grand mother is too old. So the setup has been changed and now my family eats at our house.

With the new setup in place, I have to stock up on kitchenware and cookware since I don’t have any of those at home since we don’t cook. LOL. I am looking at buying the all clad copper core cookware. I actually don’t have an idea on what to buy but it is the one recommended by my friend so I will just follow his advice. LOL.

This doesn’t mean that I will start cooking though (and so is my mom) because my mom hired a stay-out cook to prepare for our lunch and dinner. LOL. I guess some things will never change.

In this difficult time where economic recession can still be felt, it is really important that we should always have a back up plan especially when it comes to our financial security. So we should not just be relying on our jobs but instead we should look for other source of income or make investments that can save us financially in the future.

One of the things that I am considering is to buy gold eagle coins from United States Gold Bureau. Gold is a very good investment as it doesn’t depreciate in time and is a very tangible investment. It can be easily converted to cash, can be easily stored and handled. Another best thing about gold eagle coins is that it is the only bullion coins whose weight, content and purity are guaranteed by the United States Government. This means that I can really be assured of the quality of my gold eagle coins, thus protecting my investment.

I am sure that investing in gold is a really wise move and so I will really push through with my plan in contacting the hard asset professionals of United States Gold Bureau so they can help me start with my gold investment.

I can’t believe it. Now that I am just a few days away from giving birth, my acne and pimples are acting up again. But at least I can use any of the best acne treatments available after giving birth as I don’t have to worry now if it will be safe for the baby or not.

I am supposed to be scheduled for a Caesarian delivery on the 24th but I feel that I might give birth anytime now. LOL. My hospital bag is already ready. Thanks to my mom who packed it for me as well as the things for our baby boy. She was bugging me days ago to start packing my things but I am too lazy to do the packing and since I know she will do it anyways, I just waited for her to do it. LOL.

This is it. In just a few days (or maybe hours) we will be able to see, hug and touch our prince.

Hubby and I have been talking lately and we promised to each other that we will really start living healthy and live a health conscious life. It is not for us but for our children so we can live long enough to witness our kids grow.

One of the steps that we will be taking to accomplish this goal is to have a fitness equipment at home. Hubby enrolled in a fitness program in the gym near their office but since he is busy and he prefers to be at home with his kids, he rarely goes to the gym to exercise. So having a fitness equipment at home will really be a big help in getting hubby to do his exercise.

Next is we are looking at South Beach diet which some of my friends have tried before and they say it really worked. They found a store which can deliver food to us everyday so we will be sure that we will really follow the diet.

I am really glad that hubby initiated this healthy living project and hope that we can really stick by it.

I successfully booked Cebu Pacific’s Piso Fare promo from Manila to Cebu and vice versa just last week. And just after a few days, they launched another promo to promote their Cebu and Davao flights as they increased the frequencies of their flights to these destinations.

The P699 ‘Go Lite’ is also available for routes from Davao to Cebu, Iloilo, Zamboanga and Cagayan de Oro.

If you are coming from Manila, the Manila to Pagadian, Surigao and Ozamiz flights are selling for only P999 ‘Go Lite’, while the Manila to Macau and Clark to Macau flights are also up for grabs for P1,499 and P999, respectively.

So book your tickets now.

It has been a very busy week for us, with hubby busy in taking care of his mom who is now in the hospital and also preparing for the coming of the baby that we forgot that we need to renew our auto insurance.

Good thing my friend introduce me to American Car Quotes so all I did was just fill up one form and answer some questions regarding our auto insurance requirements and I just sit back and relax and let American Car Quotes do the work for me. What they do is they submit my answered form to the leaders in the auto insurance industry that matches our requirements and these insurance companies will then email me their quote so I can compare instantly all the quotes that I will be getting from these insurance companies and choose the one that offers the best deal and that matches our requirements.

This will really save me a lot of time and at the same time, we will be able to get the best deal for our auto insurance.

Being a mom, I always put the health of my kids at the top of our priority. I know that tap water and even bottled water is not guaranteed to be bacteria free so thank you for sharing this information about water filter pitcher from friends of water. This is really one sure way to keep our water 99.9% clean and bacteria free and it is really an affordable way to have clean water at home.

I have seen a lot of these pay per click campaigns on different websites and I can say that it is really an effective online advertising tool. But I was surprised when I read the survey results conducted by Simply.com since only 31% of 25,000 businesses actually advertise on the Internet. It is the information age now and advertising on the Internet can really help attract potential customers for a company. But online advertising is no simple task too. Businesses must use the services of agencies who are experts in SEO like Simply.com so they will be assured that they online advertising campaign will really be effective.

As I posted on my other blog, hubby bought me my favorite nama chocolate from Royce last week. I am still not finish devouring on this delicious chocolate when my best friend who just came back from Singapore visited me the other night and brought packs and packs of chocolates also. Then today, hubby went home with lots of goodies from Laguna like pastillas, broas, buko pie, polvoron, etc after their section’s team building exercise there.

I just had an upset stomach since yesterday so I haven’t touched these goodies yet but I am sure as soon as I feel okay, I will be needing the diet pills for women as I will surely gain weight after I am finish consuming all of these sweet treats.

Looks like temptation has a way to follow me no matter how hard I try to avoid them. I might deliver via Caesarian section anyways so I don’t think there is a need for me to watch my diet. LOL.

Father’s Day is coming and I have a perfect idea on what to give hubby for his special day, a wood dash for his car.

I know how hubby enjoys it every time he drives his car but since he is a very responsible father, he would rather spend his money in providing for the needs and wants of his family than to spend it in accessorizing his car.

So this will be a perfect time for us to give back to him all his sacrifices for us and I will be the one to accessorize his car. I already checked out the site of CARiD and they have a wide range of choices for dash kits and it is available for all makes and models of car so I will surely find the perfect dash kit for our Vios. As soon as it is delivered to us, hubby can install it himself as the dash kits of CARiD are very easy to install.

I am sure hubby will be very happy for our Father’s Day gift for him.

Count down is almost over….

I am already in my 37th week so it means I am already in my full term so I can give birth already anytime now. Though my doctor is still out of the country and won’t be coming back until Tuesday this coming week, so I guess I have to hold it until she comes back. LOL.

I am excited already. Excited to the fact that it is over as this is the stage where it is really very difficult to do anything as I am really getting heavy (and this means that I will be needing quick weight loss diets as soon as I give birth because I really gained a lot of weight). But aside from that, I am really excited because I can’t wait to see my prince. I wanted to see, hug, and kiss our baby boy. B and hubby are very excited too.

We only have a few days left….I might deliver via Caesarian section and we are looking at the 27th or 29th of June to schedule my delivery as according to the Chinese calendar, it is a lucky day to give birth.

Just a few more days and we can finally welcome our baby boy.

Before, when I hear the word gold, all I ever think about are jewelries and fashion accessories that are quite expensive. But when I did some further research, I discovered that gold are not only for that but rather there are other things that can be associated with it.

Just like my friend who already started to buy gold bullion for almost every year, introduced me to the benefits that I can acquire if I will buy one. It’s true then that gold can be a great investment, as it doesn’t depreciate in time.

And so I started to wonder if I should consider buying for our family. Who knows that this might give us the greatest benefit that our family needs? But before anything else, I still need to discuss this with my hubby before I decide since this can be of great expense.

I just hope that in time, we will be ready to invest something like this but for now, I think I just have to work so we can have money to spend for this.

Cebu Pacific has a new flight, to the State of Brunei Darussalam starting August 21, 2010. And because of this, they are giving an introductory offer for their new flight route with a P899 ‘Go Lite’ seat sale. Today is the last day for the sale period and this is valid for travel from August 21 to November 30, 2010.

This new flight will be operating twice weekly from Manila to the Nation of Brunei. Our flight leaves Manila at 11:50pm, and the return flight departs Brunei at 2:25am.

Once in Brunei, you can visit Bandar Seri Begawan, the center of Brunei’s commerce, finance and government, and home to beautiful mosques, the Kampong Ayer water village, and the Istana Nurul Iman, which is the Sultan’s lavish home and the largest residential palace in the world.

After the sale period, the regular airfare rate for flights from Manila to Brunei will be P2,899.

One and a half piece of Krispy Kreme doughnuts for snack plus one cup of rice, and assorted viands – crispy tilapia, lechon kawali, gising-gising, sotanghon soup. These are just a few of what I ate for today (that is why I am reading about diet pill review now as I will surely need to use diet pills diet pills after giving birth to help me loose weight fast).

As I posted on my other blog, I met up with my high school friends today for dinner. Hubby and I went home first to fetch B as our nanny is on day off and my mom will have a meeting at 7 PM, and so we just tagged B along with us at the mall.

We arrived around 7:45 PM just in time for dinner and so we head straight to Recipes restaurant for dinner. If you want Filipino style food, then Recipes is a good restaurant to try that is why I was able to finish my one cup of rice even if I just had one and a half piece of doughnuts. LOL.

Anyways, I will just deal with the problem of loosing weight after I give birth. For the meantime, I still have a few more days to go to enjoy eating as I have a reason why I need to eat a lot – so that the baby inside me will not get hungry. LOL.

It is 12 AM already but I am still wide awake. Hubby was begging me to rest already as I am not feeling well this morning but I have to push harder and work, work, work (although for sure I will need acne treatments after this for staying up late almost everyday) .

I am due to give birth this month and I am sure with the coming of our baby boy, I will be so busy that I will not have time like this to accept more work. So I am just taking advantage and grab whatever work I can now that my hands are not yet full. And I am glad that work is really pouring while I still have time to do it. I still have a lot on my list of payable so I really have to work doubly hard so I will reach my monthly quota before I give birth.

I am so happy because it has been a productive weekend for us. Though hubby was not able to work on his little project for our room renovation last Saturday and Sunday since we have errands and appointments, he was able to make it up last Monday.

It is his holiday from work because it is Memorial Day and so he woke up early to start cleaning our second room where we will be moving. When he is done packing some of our stuffs there, he went to our house in Bulacan together with my dad and two helpers to bring our things there and do a major clean up too of our house there.

Hubby was really happy with their accomplishments as they were able to dispose old cabinets, old beds, remove old curtains, change the lock of the doors, and do a major clean up of the house. Now we just have to buy a new bed and mattress for one of the rooms there so we have a place to sleep if we want to spend our weekends there.

They reached Manila round 6 Pm and hubby just ate snack and went to SM with my mom and B to buy a new aircon for our new room. The aircon will be delivered tomorrow but my dad already fixed the brace on where the aircon will be installed.

Finally, hubby is making progress. I can’t wait to see our stuff move into the second room which is much bigger than the room that we are occupying now.

Since we were busy shopping for baby stuff for baby boy like comforters other bed linens, hubby and I decided that we will be buying some for B also so she will not feel left behind.

And so when I saw this promo form Artscow, I figured that it will be a nice gift for B.
They have a new product which is a new line of large fleece blankets due to request from their avid customers.
