STONECPS

I finally find the energy (and I think the courage) to check on our bills for this month and I really want to faint.

Our bills doubled this month because:

• We have to pay for the electricity and water bill of our former house which we rented for the whole month of August
• We also have to pay for the electric and water bill for our new home for the August consumption since the seller left already last August 5 and so we have to pay for whatever bill consumption was left for this month
• We also have to pay for the electric bill of one of the commercial space that we are renting out since the former tenant did not have the decency to pay for their consumption and we don’t know how to contact them since they left our property

Looks like hubby’s plan to check for rims online will have to be postponed for now as we have to pay for these bills first, otherwise it will be cut and electricity and water is very essential.

But I am glad we closed the deal to one of the commercial space that we are renting out so we can use their 2 months down payment for our monthly amortization next month which can be a big help for us.

It is a long weekend from my part of the world and it is very quiet in twitter so I am so envious as for sure, almost all my friends are out of town. The president declared Monday and Tuesday as a special holiday so it is a four-day weekend for most employees.

Well, I actually don’t have a budget to spend the long weekend out of town or out of the country so my family and I are just at home. That is why I was able to do a lot of work like search about top ten fat burners for the article that I am writing about weight loss, search for possible theme for my daughter’s birthday, look for movers for our house move, and spend time with my kids.

And before I forget, I actually can’t go anywhere because I am contagious, I have sore eyes. LOL. So even if I have a budget, we really have no choice but to stay at home so as not to spread the virus.

It has been a while since I last posted about Artscow promo. I have been addicted with Artscow’s Photo Books that’s why I have been busy making Photo Books instead of blogging.

But to let you guys enjoy Artscow too like me, let me share here some of Artscow latest promo:

Since workload has been very light the past few months, I have been keeping myself busy creating Photo Books from Artscow.

Almost all my friends have been posting pictures of their photo books, which they ordered from Artscow. So I got really inspired to turn our thousands and thousand of pictures into Photo Books too.

And since Artscow was running a promo that time where they offer their 8x8 30-pages photo book for only $9.99 with free shipping, I joined the bandwagon and started creating photo books of our pictures too.

Since I only have 3 days before the promo ends, I always sleep late to finish my photo book. I should have been checking for Wholesale Insurance, but instead I was at the Artscow site almost the entire night so I can finish at least 2 photo books that I can order under the promo.

And I was so happy because I was able to finish 3 photo books instead of just 2. I can’t wait to see in real life how my Photo Books will turn out.

We’re off to the beach next Friday and I am so excited for many reasons:

1. I am excited because this is the first out of town trip that I will be spending for three days with my online buddies Peachy, Joy, Jody, Mich with their families.
2. It is the first time for me and my family at Shangri-La Mactan and with the raves that I heard from Peachy, my family and I are all excited.
3. I badly needed this break even just for three days to stay away from all the stress that I am feeling at home and at work.

Everything is almost set for this trip as we already have dining vouchers at Shangri-La, we also booked our accommodation and airfare already and I am done shopping for the attire that I will bring with me for this trip. If only my sister is engaged with her boyfriend, then I guess that the only thing that we have to prepare is engagement ring insurance to be sure that her ring won’t get lost just like what happened to hubby’s wedding ring when we last went to the beach.

So just a few days away and we will soon enjoy the sun (hopefully) and the sand as we invade Shangril-La Mactan.

One of the best buffets I have tried is Spiral’s buffet. They have a wide range of dishes from Chinese, Indian, Thai, Japanese, European, Middle Eastern and even Filipino. Hubby and I tried dining in at Spiral during our 6th Wedding Anniversary and we really enjoyed it.

That is why when I learned that they have an on going promo, I got really interested especially since my aunt’s birthday is coming soon and this promo is perfect for my big family.

Sofitel's Spiral: Buy 10 & Pay 6 Eat-All-You-Can Promo

This promo is valid for lunch only and you have to buy the vouchers directly from Spiral by looking for Ms. Cory or by bank deposit through BPI.

With this promo, you will just be paying for the lunch buffet for only P1,244 nett per person instead of P2,073 so you will only have to pay P12,440 nett for 10 persons to avail of Spiral’s buffet. Very good deal indeed.

Oh no, I just got a text from my cousin and it is about the latest promo from Cebu Pacific. The airfare from Manila to Hong Kong is on sale and is only at P999. Travel period is until December 14 so it will be a perfect pre-holiday getaway for all of us.

My budget is quite tight now as we have to pay a lot of dues from our credit card after our US trip and our monthly amortization for our housing loan and so I am thinking now if I should get a payday loan for this.

I remember the last time I went to Hong Kong with all my cousins was last 2008. We had so much fun as we are all always on the go. We even were able to have a day tour in Macau and visit Macau Tower and the Venetian Hotel.

I will talk to hubby about this so we can avail the promo before tickets run out.
