Armi is celebrating her second year as a single woman. She’s been tied to a bad relationship for years and she finally mustered enough courage to end it. She’s been enjoying her freedom and is now ready to mingle!
Her friends are sending over emerald city flowers for her. A gift telling her in not so many words how much they love her and will always be there to support her. Don’t you just love how a bunch of flowers can convey so much emotions without the need for too many words? The flowers will come with an invite to celebrate her second year as a free woman. The girls will surely have a blast!

A local boutique offering ready-to-wear clothes as well as custom-made ones is looking for a company to service their needs. The owner and designer wants to get on with catalog printing as soon as they finish the layout and content of the catalog they will be giving away. The boutique will be holding a mini fashion show, just to showcase the clothes being sold at the store to potential clients.
I am for patronizing local businesses. That’s why when I heard about the fashion show of the boutique, I told my friends we should attend it as a show of support for a budding business.

A car insurance is a must. Don’t drive your car without it. You don’t want to find yourself involved in an accident without your car insurance in place. Believe me, you don’t want that to happen. There is a cheap car insurance for you if you are having some financial difficulties. You need to get one right away if you don’t have one yet or the plan you have right now is already expired or about to expire.
I know someone who got involved in a vehicular accident. He forgot to renew his car insurance. Guess what? He spent a lot on that accident and vowed always to make sure his car insurance is in place!

He is so rich! Ron is buying Ferrari parts in cash. Imagine that! He inherited a big chunk of money from his grandfather a long time ago. When he was old enough to take over his finances, he invested some of it, earned a lot on interest. And then he went into business ventures with friends.
Now, he’s rich and well-invested. Women are falling all over his feet and Ferrari is just one of the expensive cars that he has.

I am sharing some photos of fishes, yellow and with shades of it, that we saw at the Manila Ocean Park when I went there with my sister Meng and Hazel…
It was a day of fun not only for the little girl but also for my sister and I.
Happy Monday everyone! Have a good week!

I am always thankful for the little blessings that come my way. Whereas before I couldn’t recognize the little ones, I am now more open to the little blessings.
Yesterday, I went malling with my girl friends Tim, Shen and Jing. The four of us meet at least twice a month. It’s mostly dinner and then coffee after. Yesterday, we went to the mall, strolled around, had lunch and then, as usual, coffee after. In between, there’s lots and lots of laughter!
It was a very relaxing and fun Saturday for me. It started out really early with a Linggo ng Wika dance presentation we attended in Hazel‘s school. After which I went to the mall with the girls. We laughed so hard about so many things about each of us. We also talked about books and other stuff.
It’s a good way to start my weekend especially with so many things for me to finish by tomorrow morning.
Happy Sunday to all!

In the past, when it comes to my future, I just left things to fate. You know, whatever happened, I’d just accept it because I wasn’t prepared. That was how I dealt with the future. These days, I make sure that I have a plan for tomorrow. It may not be five years down the line but at least a goal for the immediate future, something tangible, something I can say is a preparation for my tomorrow.
An investment in gold bullion is now one thing I am looking into. Yes, for the future. The USGoldBureau.com is the web site I go to, and where you should go to, too, in case you are interested in gold investment as well.
I don’t leave things to fate anymore. As much as I can, I create my own future and prepare for anything I can’t be in control of.

What are some of your immediate goals in life?
There are some goals I would like to accomplish before the year ends…
- I would like to complete payment of the vault we got at The Garden of the Divine Word. We still have around less than 50% left unpaid.
- Transfer the remains of my mom and my brother to The Garden with my grandma.
- Pay-off the rest of my brother’s college fees. Fully pay his 2nd semester fees, that is.
- And save up even a little amount for the holidays.
What are yours?

Do you moderate the comments on your blog?
Yes, I do. Not because I want to censor the comments here, and even in my other blogs. But because I am wary of spam. That’s the only reason. For most of my blogs and this one, anyway.
For my main blog, I moderate comments because I write about some national issues there. I admit I don’t post derogatory comments left in that blog. It’s mine and I reserve the right to reject comments lashing out at me.
What about you do you moderate comments on your blog, too?

Ate Linda is my mom’s aunt. Ever since she learned that I passed the board exams for accountants more than a decade ago, she’s obsessed with the idea of one of her grandchildren becoming a CPA, too. Now that her oldest grandchild is going to college, she wants me to convince her to take up Accountancy.
I told her that it shouldn’t be that way. Because it’s what she wants. Her grandkid should get a career advice from those who really know not only about Accountancy but about other degrees as well. Professionals who can help a kid entering college determine what’s the right path for him or her to take.

What are three movies you could watch over and over and over (and over) again?
There are many movies I can watch over and over and over again. What comes to mind right now are the following: Parent Trap (yes, with Lindsay Lohan), Meet the Robinsons (the cartoons), and While You Were Sleeping (with Sandra Bullock). I love these three movies a lot!
What are yours?

For most people, a degree is the best weapon that a person can carry in life. Getting a job is easier if you can show a degree that you’ve finished. There’s always something that you know you can fall back on should you go up against a wall of problems. The same goes for those who are serving the country.
Those who are in service can take up online military degrees. It can be as a preparation to go up the military rank ladder or as a way to start a new life outside of the military.

It’s Friday once again! Time is flying by so fast! Next week is the start of the ‘ber months. Before we know it, the countdown to Christmas is on again.
Yesterday, my dad, my sister, Hazel and I went to The Garden of the Divine Word in Christ the King Church in E. Rodriguez, Sr. Avenue, Quezon City. It is the columbary of the SVDs. My grandma’s remains was cremated as per her wishes. We were looking for a columbary for her urn when my sister, Grace, told us about the one in Christ the King Church. I checked it and the prices if we can afford to get a vault. A vault’s price ranges from 73K to as high as 95K. But with the peace and quiet of the place, the lush garden, the everyday mass being offered for the dead… I think it’s worth it. Plus, each vault can accommodate as many as 4 urns.
Here are some photos of the place…
The columbary has 3 levels: Terrace, Promenade and Garden. We chose the Garden level.
This is the Garden level. The shade of the trees and plants can be a blessing when the sun is up. The green walls you are seeing are actually the vaults where the urns are placed.
There are ponds on the Garden level with koi fishes in it.
This is the view from the Terrace level.
The Garden level is where the Grotto of the miraculous Virgin Mary is located. It has seats similar to an ampitheatre. You actually won't think you're in a place for the dead because of the beautiful landscape.
We will have my mom’s remains (if there’s anything left) and my brother’s bones cremated as well. So that the three of them will be together in the columbary. I can already see my mom smiling. My mom used to love places like this.

I love listening to mellow music. My sisters tease me that it’s the reason I get so sleepy. Truth is, music stimulates my mind. I can think clearly when there’s music on the background. I know someone who gets distracted by music when she has to think of a post to write. That’s not me. For some reason, my mind is functioning better if there’s noise. Crazy no?

Education is very important. But so is training. So when you hear of a school offering both theories and training while the students are on board, what do you do? I say, grab the opportunity and take a course! Check out Regency, a Cosmetology School in Austin. They offer training while students are still on campus. No need to wait until the last year of school to go out and get the training the students need. At Regency, they use a unique approach to teaching and that is letting students provide discounted salon services to the public under the expert supervision of the faculty.
Go ahead, know more about Regency and their unique approaching to educating their students. Go to RegencyBeauty.com now for more information.

I dreamt of two people from my gloomy past. I don’t know if it’s a good omen since in both dreams, I was laughing a lot and the situations in it were positive. I don’t know also if it’s a bad omen since both persons were from my past that I don’t want to ever be associated again.
I would like to think that it is something positive but there is a foreboding I’ve been feeling since yesterday. True enough, the man from the bank called and it’s all about the loan that wasn’t mine again! Maybe that’s it.
I hate problems. Wala naman yatang may gusto ng problema di ba? I know problems are given to us to test our character and to send a blessing alongside it. I still hate it. Especially when the problem is something I dealt with in the past and it gave me so much heartache.

I am sending some weekend love to each and every one of you out there…
What are your plans? As for me, I will be reading a new book and will just be lazing around the house.
Happy weekend everyone! Have fun!

My digicam is already acting up. When you charge it, the battery life will only last for a couple of hours unlike the normal two or three days that it can last. Since I only have one, I am now reading digital camera reviews to find a new one I can purchase.
Photographs are very important to capture special moments and preserve memories. Digital cameras are a must for every family, especially those who travel a lot. I keep a spare digicam battery as well as a memory card always ready. You never know when you need to capture more memories, right?

I read that a local actress collects diamonds. She invests her money on jewelries studded with diamonds, most especially diamond rings. Most of her earnings really go to buying jewelries because they were able to prove that it’s a good investment. One time that she had a stretch of no work, they were able to sell a few of their jewelries and it was more than enough to tide them over for a year.
I remember my mom used to be a big fan of diamond studded jewelries, too. But she couldn’t afford to buy a lot because, well, the funds were not enough. Diamonds are forever, they say. It’s true. What little jewelries with diamonds my mom left are still here with us.

I was once very active in blogging activities. In almost every EB, I was there. I even reached Batangas City by myself because I wanted to meet two bloggers I became close to. But since my priorities shifted, I became inactive and eventually lost touch with most of them.
Two of the many bloggers I met in the past were Cai of the Pink Urinal and Des of Fingertalks. I became really good friends with them. Cai is still around, still active with local blogging activities. We still talk from time to time. But I was closer to Des and she’s the one I miss the most. She went abroad to work there with her husband. We lost communication because according to her, internet connection in her location was horrible. The last time we talked, she told me that she’s going to lose her blog because of problems with her host. And that she wouldn’t be able to talk to us for quite sometime because of the net problems.
I was suddenly reminded of our girl talks, Cai, Des and I. I miss the girls! I don’t miss being active in local blogging activities but I miss bonding with the friends I made through blogging.
Share Some Love
