Glittery Report

Credit card is not my bestfriend

2009-12-01T11:28:00.000-08:00

As much as I love shopping, I hate the idea of credit cards. Hubby dislikes having too many of them either. It's just not helping those who tend to spend more than they can actually afford. Some think it's the best thing ever invented. For many, it's their worst nightmare. In fairness, it does make life a lot easier if you are the kind of person who can't take a lot of cash with you when shopping in a department store. Online stores accept credit card and that's just the most convenient way to shop, isn't it? Well, whatever works best for you, you have to be responsible in your finances and don't even think about ruining our credit by paying later than your supposed to on your credit card bills. Be very careful.

Truck repair

2009-12-01T08:25:00.000-08:00

Hubby's truck made some strange sound the other night. He wasn't sure what it was but something was wrong with it. So, he decided to take to the mechanic first thing in the morning and found out it would cost a lot of money for the whole thing including the truck accessories and parts.

Anyway, he went to the other mechanic to get a second opinion and to compare prices. He's glad he did and he has more confidence on this second guy and pursued the repair. The first mechanic sounded like he just wanted to sell other stuff that aren't really necessary just yet. I guess that's how people do business. Well, I just hope everything gets fixed as it's very important for hubby to have his own vehicle now that I can drive.

Over and done

2009-12-01T07:17:00.000-08:00

I am very happy for my sister and her fiance. Finally, what they had been waiting for is over and done. The future for them to be together will be realized sooner than later. I hope everything goes as planned and she will be reunited with him. I am right here waiting to do my part in helping her out when it comes to the paperwork. I am hoping by then that it will get processed as fast as it was for me years ago. I'm sure it won't take as long as one year for her. It will be a good journey for her and an entirely new experience.

Today's project

2009-12-01T07:10:00.000-08:00

We are going to NY later. Hubby is out to do some work for a couple of hours and then he will be back so we could leave to do our project for today. We had planned to clean up the condo hoping that we will get new tenants soon. Our first tenants only stayed for a year and moved to their new home. We wished they chose to live there longer, but that's just not the case.

They wanted to find a smaller house for them after selling their bigger home. It's inevitable for us to want our first tenant to stay because it's simply not easy to have to pay a maintenance fee when no one is living there all the more when we don't get to receive anything in the mail every month for rent. Sigh. Anyway, I'm looking up for rain barrels for now. Will be back shortly after this.

Cold and lazy

2009-11-21T13:25:00.000-08:00

I don't know why but it seems like I don't have the energy today. I don't like to just sit all day but the weather makes me. Winter is not my favorite of all seasons and it coming closer and closer. I have no control over it and I chose to live in this side of the world so I must adapt to it. Well, life's unfair and there is no way you can have everything either. I am not going to complain anymore. I have to be thankful for all the good things in life instead. LOL

Holidays are approaching

2009-11-21T13:01:00.000-08:00

Christmas is getting nearer and nearer. I don't know why but I am thinking more about it instead of Thanksgiving which is going to be next week. I will make a side dish to bring to the family's dinner, actually. And I have to do some research on what I can actually cook. Duh, I'm going to step up on my cooking skill. I have never done my share since the first Thanksgiving and Christmas I have celebrated with my American family. I think it's about time for me to contribute something. Anyway, I have to look for cardboard display online. I could use something for the holidays. See you later.

She wants to be better

2009-11-19T15:24:00.000-08:00

I may sound like a broken record for saying that I will give up my cyber life, but this for sure is for the better. I don't know if it's for good. Looking at the future is what really matters to me now. I wanted to do something I have never done before. Although going back to school is not something unusual. People do that a lot to better themselves in this competitive world especially when it has something to do about careers. Anyhow, my blog will still be in a free directory for websites. I am not going to remove it completely. I may just be away for days, weeks or maybe months. I am not sure yet. Whatever it is that I find interesting these days, it's because I wanted to do what I realized that I wanted to become.

Looking at the brighter side of things

2009-11-19T15:12:00.000-08:00

I think I will be giving up blogging soon. I had done enough and I will be taking a bigger responsibility early next year. I don't think I will have spare time to actually do the usual things that I do when I am at home all day. Hopefully, when I apply for the college I wanted to go back to school to and get accepted, I will have to do a lot of studying and still give quality time for the family.

Our little one still needs my care, although, we are thinking about getting a babysitter when I have to spend some time in school more than I would have to. Oh well, those are just some of the things I am already looking forward to. Whatever happens, I will stick to my plan and it may change due to a circumstance. I just hope and pray I will achieve what I really wanted to do with my life now that I realized what I would like to be in the workforce.

Christmas is in the air

2009-11-12T17:46:00.000-08:00

I haven't updated my wish list for Christmas yet. Again, I am not asking anything in particular from my loved ones. I think it's nicer to get surprised. It's still the thought that counts. Actually, kids enjoy Christmas more than adults do, so I am not really after the presents anymore. LOL. I have a task to do though --- shopping for the family. Whew! I better get going and do it one at a time while counting down to the said day. It's such a pain when you pay everything all at once when buying for presents. I have to get video cards for someone, so I have to get going!

Need a job

2009-11-12T11:44:00.000-08:00

I have friends all over the country and I am fully aware that they too are having trouble getting a job. I have applied to a few and never heard anything from them so far. A lot of people are willing to get into a job no matter what whether they are inclined with it or not just so they could pay their bills. Anyway, if you're looking for jobs in south jersey, you might find one in phillyjobs.com. I have tried several sites and saw several of them. It's just a matter of being lucky and for being qualified for the said positions.

Multitasking

2009-11-10T14:30:00.000-08:00

I'm glad I finished some work today. I hate it when I lose track of my objective. I guess I am so poor in time management. I need to better myself. Although today, I got motivated and finished something and still doing some more work. I'll be glad to finish everything that I have to do on time. I'm actually watching Dr. Oz while writing this. I'm just going to multi-task if I can. Now back to business!

Thomas and the Island of Sodor

2009-11-10T12:40:00.000-08:00

I don't know what's the fascination with trains but my little guy is obsessed with Thomas & Friends. He loves it so much he could play with it all day. He takes it to bed as his security blanket. He can't live without the take along one. I'm really amazed how it influences little ones. Most boys must have each moment when Thomas became an all time favorite. I didn't see this coming as a parent. Kids do actually have favorites when it comes to toys. It's really interesting how the makers of these cartoon characters and animations find the passion to pursue such a thing that catches kids attentions. Oh well, I have to get going and find out about glass tiles online for our bathroom renovation. I'll tell you more about Thomas later.

Electronic cigarette

2009-11-08T11:34:00.000-08:00

Smoking is one of those growing up experiences that I tried and experimented. Although, only for a very brief time. I never really liked it. It wasn't for me. And besides, I knew then it's bad for your health. I just found out that there is such a thing as electronic cigarette. It is advertised as more smoke, more puffs and no mess. Wow! That's a really good thing to hear especially for those who hate smokers in the family. LOL. As technology is making a great leap and a huge difference in our lives, this advanced way to smoke cigarette is definitely an interesting one.

Making a really big decision

2009-11-08T11:33:00.001-08:00

I just made one of the biggest decisions in my life. I want to go back to school and get a career in 3 years time. I've never handled a real job my entire life and I don't want to turn 30 pretty soon without an experience at all. That's why taking this into account made me realize getting a diploma in the field of Science would be a great choice. Nurses are needed whenever, wherever! I want to become one. I think the 2 year program would be the first step as I don't want to wait 4 years to finally get my first job.

This way I will get a job and then perhaps while handling one, I will pursue the bachelor's degree for more opportunities in the future. Anyway, I hope I will be able to apply soon at the community college I have looked into. I just have to review everything I learned in school way back when. I am actually a degree holder already and supposed to be a teacher in my country, but chose not to teach. Oh well, it's never too late to become what you really wanted to be.

Life insurance witn no medical exam

2009-11-06T19:06:00.000-08:00

One of the best things parents could do to prepare for the unknown is getting a life insurance for the future of the kids. Life isn't at all permanent that's why whatever is coming that's inevitable, your loved ones that are going to be left behind will have some substantial amount of money to support themselves especially your children who are still not capable of doing so being alone. Family is really important and you don't want them to be in a certain predicament when your time comes unprepared. If you want a life insurance no medical exam, wholesaleinsurance.net can help you.

Falling teeth

2009-11-06T10:43:00.000-08:00

When I read about Plano dentist, it reminds me of my next dental check. My last visit was way back when and I know I am due for my annual check. I have to get an appointment soon before this year ends. It's weird that I recently dreamed I lost all of my teeth like falling out of my mouth for no apparent reason. I was really scared and thought it were real. I was definitely relieved when I woke up realizing it was a dream. Although that wasn't the first time, it was by far the worst. I hope I don't get that dream again. It was quite scary. Oh well, when I read about its meaning I was kind of enlightened actually. And did you know it's a very common dream?

Dreaming the unknown

2009-11-06T10:42:00.000-08:00

It's quite frustrating when there are certain things in life you can't simply reach in an instant or that you can have it in just a split second. I am talking about dreams and aspirations. You may have to keep thinking about it in the beginning, then wish it were within close range and then work hard and work some more to finally get it. My own frustration at the moment can't even be put to words. I don't know how to even put it into thoughts. I needed to light my own path as no one will ever do it for me. No one will understand and I refuse to make anybody to understand me. Oh well, I am such a dreamer and forever will be.

Growing old

2009-10-29T18:28:00.000-07:00

When I was 26, I noticed some fine lines on my face. I thought I'm getting older. I guess it's the time most people get them, no? Hehehe. I might need an anti-wrinkle cream sooner than later. Oh well, that means I'm getting mature by heart, mind and appearance. That's life. There's definitely no stopping it. Some people are actually obsessed about living forever. I am not one of those, but I would be willing and able to do something so I can make aging come to me in a slower pace if I can. If I only can, like applying a magic cream to reduce wrinkles, yah know! LOL

FarmVille addict

2009-10-29T14:49:00.000-07:00

Are you a member of Facebook? I am. I love it especially that it has the online games that I like to play with. FV in particular is a favorite of mine. I love to plant and harvest but most of all, I love the idea of leveling up. It's quite exciting to unlock the other features too. Anyway, it's a perfect way to waste your time on if you have a lot of it in your hands. LOL. I admit, I am addicted to it. Well, got to go, I have to check out cattle supplies for my farm. hehehe

Halloween is coming!

2009-10-29T09:09:00.000-07:00

Halloween is just around the corner. I'm glad I got my little one's costume last Sunday so we are all set for this Saturday's trick or treating. I hope it's not going to be very cold for that although, it seems like it's going to be a nasty day. It says 50% chance of rain at night. Oh well, we could start earlier than usual. This year, he is going to be “Thomas” the tank engine. He is in the stage in which trains amaze him. He is very fascinated indeed like most boys his age. I wonder how long this fascination lasts. He can actually watch Thomas DVD's all day and gets mad when something else is on TV. LOL. Anyway, it's very funny when your child has favorites in everything. And it changes too.

I don't have acne

2009-10-28T21:13:00.000-07:00

I don’t have acne problem but my sister does. She is tired of it she wants me to get a solution for it. I’ve been hearing a lot about a certain product advertised but I am not certain whether it’s worth a try. I might have to send her a sample one day so she knows I care. She definitely needs a treatment and she's been dreaming of a product that will work for her.

Life insurance lead

2009-10-27T13:02:00.000-07:00

A life insurance is something that each family should have. It’s a way of preparing for the future of your kids. It is indeed important and how I wish it comes affordable for everyone. It can cost a lot of money you know that’s why some people don’t think about it especially if they don’t have the extra money to pay for it. It’s something the kids will get a good use of when their parents are gone. It will definitely make life easier for them. There are many places to compare and get the one that is really for you. For insurance agents, a life insurance lead help them as well so potential customers will be able to reach them. Anyway, whatever works for you and your family, getting a life insurance is a great idea.

Dinner inspiration, please!

2009-10-27T12:55:00.000-07:00

I have to do some grocery shopping today but the weather isn't very nice. It's rather cold outside and I don't feel like going out. I hope I have the energy to actually go before it gets any later or darker. I can't decide what to make for dinner either. I need some inspiration and new recipes as I am getting tired of the same stuff I make. Oh well, if only I can call the restaurant all the time for food deliveries. LOL. In this time and economic situation, cooking is definitely saving people some money. It's rather costly to eat out a lot. What's for dinner?

RV towing on vacations

2009-09-26T07:17:00.000-07:00

One thing that I have to love about winter (not for the temperature of course) is the fact that it's the time of year we get a break from working, at least for hubby. We have the whole season to ourselves free to travel down south. When we go to FL it's such an interesting road trip as we get to see things we rarely encounter everyday like seeing motor homes, RV's, and boats. Speaking of which, if it's your first time to take your RV on a road trip adventure and fears of the unexpected while on the road, rv towing are just a button away.
