Bookmark and books

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

This is a long overdue post. I just managed to upload the photos I took from last month to present thus this late post…

Tim normally asks her friends and love ones what they want for Christmas. Last Christmas, I asked for this book – The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. I was, and still is, in my book hoarding mode so I was really happy she granted my wish hehehe

The Last Song

And I really love Tita Liza for giving me something to complement my being a bookworm… a bookmark!

Bookmark Cross

Cute ‘no? ;)

Bookmark Cross-2

I also have a cute little cross I keep in my wallet but I haven’t taken a photo of it yet. Plus, Tita Liza also gave me two hardbound books by Richard North Patterson and Nelson DeMille. Happy!

In all honesty, receiving anything book-related makes me really happy. Or notebooks, pens and journals.

Thanks, Tim and Tita!

Stubborn

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Get an auto insurance quote. One of my uncles has a second hand car and he doesn’t believe he needs an insurance for that one. I told him that he needs to get one even for an old car as long as he intends to drive it.

Some men in our family can be really stubborn. Once they feel like they’re right, you can’t change their idea. Some of my uncles, as well as my dad, are like that. And I must admit, I think I got that trait from them :(

Dark at night

dark-road

There are certain parts of the city that are dark at night. When your car happens to break down in that side of the city, imagine what would happen to you. You could not get any help and if there is someone who might offer their help, you need to be wary because it could be someone who could hurt you.

Get roadside assistance that you can trust. These are people you can call anytime you happen to experience a vehicle break down.

Legal assistance

legal

When there’s a legal aspect in mesothelioma that needs to be assessed, get a mesothelioma lawyer. It’s the right thing to do. Let’s admit it, there are many laws we don’t know about. Most of the time, we get surprised to find that something we thought is nothing at all is actually against the law. Have you experienced that?

So be sure to consult a lawyer when you feel like you need to know more about a certain law. And there are a lot of laws out there you and I don’t know about. Remember, ignorance of the law excuses no one from compliance. If you violate one, you can’t give ignorance as an excuse. Or if you don’t know your rights, the more you need to have a lawyer with you.

Be healthy

You can take any weight loss supplement if you want. My only advise is check out the side effects. Know more about the diet pill side effects. What it will do to your body, how it will affect your lifestyle, or will it clash with the prescription medicine you are taking, if any. Gather information before taking anything.

weight-loss

Personally, I am thinking already of getting a weight loss supplement for me. I am still checking out the best one I can get and then I will tell you about it.

Who are you rooting for?

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Are you prepared for the coming May 2010 elections already? Do you have a presidential bet by now?

At home, we are not yet rooting for someone specifically. Although my dad’s rooting for Gibo Teodoro, my siblings and I are not yet convinced on who we’ll vote for. My dad’s convincing us to vote for Gibo. We would if it weren’t for the current president backing him up. Nakakatakot! We’re thinking of Noynoy Aquino but we’re not sure of his capacity to run the country. And his claim to fame is his parents. We don’t even know what he actually did the whole time he’s serving as a Congressman and now as a Senator. Ano nga ba? One of my sisters wants to vote for Dick Gordon. He’s okay but again, I doubt if he’s doing all this without someone backing him up, who in turn will benefit the most if he wins. Mahirap nang magsalita pero I’m sure tatay has a lot to say hehe

So who are you going to vote for?

Year to own a home

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Every one I know wants to have a house of their own. Even me! I live in a house my dad owns. It’s ours. But I still want to get a new home for us. Somewhere more peaceful and quiet. If you are looking to buy a home for the first time, or a new home for the nth time, know the 2010 Homebuyer Tax Credits before doing it.

This is just an overview of what a homebuyer can expect. For homeowners who wish to acquire a new property after 5 years of living in their present home as well as first-time buyers, the federal income tax credit has been extended and expanded to include you. For the former, homeowners who have lived in their current home consecutively for 5 of the past 8 years, a tax credit of $6,500 can be given to you. For the latter, first-time homebuyers, or those who have not owned their own property in the last three years, an $8,000 tax credit is up for you.

We should all take advantage of these tax credits as there may be no future extensions. Go get a written, binding contract by April 30, 2010. Income limits are now $125,000 for singles, $225,000 for married couples with a $20,000 phase-out of the credit for both.

This is the year to buy our own homes. Go and find out more about the 2010 Homebuyer Tax Credits. And then do a Home Search of the property you want to own at www.ColdwellBanker.com now.

Random thoughts for today…

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010
  • I haven’t uploaded the photos from the holidays yet. My digicam is acting up and I have other things to do than tinker with it. Probably this weekend, I just might do it.
  • My cousin and I went to the mall yesterday to have my laptop checked. I am thinking of just buying a new one instead of having it repaired. Because I might spend on the old one and it will just give me a few months of use. Anyway, I was able to get back the money I spent on buying it. I will just have to save a little bit more for a new one.
  • The sun is shining brightly in the morning and then it drizzles around noon time to early afternoon. Weird weather we have right now. It’s cold but you sweat a lot when you go out. Flu is “in” now so drink lots of water and don’t forget your vitamin C.

What’s happening with you people? Anything new?
