Started My Exercise Today!

I promised myself that I would really allot some time to start my daily exercise. I’m a workaholic person and very busy with household chores around the house when I’m home but I guess you don’t count that as real exercise. I don’t have the time to spare for gym workout so I told myself I’d better be doing it on my own house. Finally I was able to start my sit ups and some exercise that forced me into slight jumping. I started easy because I’ve neglected exercise for some months and I don’t want myself to limp the whole day because of too much sit ups. It happened to me last year when I forced myself to start heavy. I know I should do it easy and will make it harder each day. It feels good even when I’m doing it while I’m cooking lol! My kids were kidding me that their chicken is overcooked already (joke only). Nice start for me and I was happy that I finally did it again.

Eliminate Debt In Your Life

Almost all people now have credit cards, housing loans, personal loans and many different loans from private people and to the bank. We live in a modern world of high level financing that leads us to indulge on so many things that force us to live on credits. For me having too many credit cards is a temptation itself as many people don’t know how to manage their income properly and rely on credit cards to sustain their needs. This attitude and bad finance practice leads them to bankruptcy and on some who have loans with collateral they suffered foreclosure. But what is really the proper way of handling your finance to totally eliminate debt in your life? Even though it’s really hard to rise from the debt burdens there are ways on how you can manage your budget properly.

If we have desire in our heart to be free from debt we should be able to think of solutions on how and where we could get some help. As our personal instinct we think of family to help us through this hard moment or rich friends to borrow money from. But if they can’t provide us enough help to free ourselves of debt there are companies who can help us in eliminating debt professionally. Of course alongside our desire to pay all our debts we need to have some goals and objectives so we can have patterns to follow, sacrifice is also needed. We need to realize and do a lot of thinking what are our basic needs and priorities so we can eliminate too much spending on things that we don’t really need.

We can get the services of debt consolidators but be very careful in choosing the right company. They should be able to roll all your loans and debt into one big loan only with a good creditor and with minimal service fees and rates. I came upon eliminatedebt.org and I was so glad to read a lot of advice, tips and ways on how we can manage finances and how to choose the right debt consolidation company that will help you in starting up your debt management. Choosing the right company to help you is very vital as it will eventually give you financial freedom and brighter future.

A Good Steering System

We were driving through Cavite to go to our dear Pastor to greet him on his birthday and celebrate it with him when I remember the steering gear of our owner-type jeepney. This owner-type jeepney which we were using a few years back before we acquire our second-hand Nissan Sentra is so shoddy that hubby fined it hard driving on expressways. We all know that steering system is a major part of a car and a good steering gearbox is important to make your driving easier, manageable and safer. After all drivers should be thinking of safe driving all the time so it’s best to have a good, quality and functional steering system all the time.

Well with this in mind I always browse sites for car parts to look for the best suppliers and the most affordable price. I came upon discountsteering.com which offers a wide variety of high quality steering rack and pinion units and steering gear box at very affordable prices; they even sell it at wholesale prices. All you have to do is look for the parts that you need and you can be assured they have it on their stock. Remember to look for the best steering gear that does not bind or leak because it will define your driving skills and you’ll enjoy driving.

Discount Steering offers good service and you can call toll free at 800-617-4492 if ever your specific needed parts are not available on their stock. Just be descriptive about the parts you’re looking for to help them get it correctly. So whether you’re looking for a power steering box, a power steering rack, a manual steering box or manual steering rack you’re sure to have and afford it. Check them out now!

Birthday Gift Plans

My sister’s birthday is fast approaching it’s actually next week and I’m thinking now what I should be giving her for a birthday present. It’s certainly is easy for sure because she likes almost everything from bags to shoes to clothes. But I’ve been giving her those things almost every year and I want some change this time. I’ve been browsing a lot these days and found some nice Nautica watches that I think would perfectly fit her small wrist. I’m not decided yet but those watches really took my attention because of the styles and the discounts available.

Girl Scouts’ Activities


It was a very busy day as I’ve been with my kids on their Girls Scout All Age Activities Program the whole day. It was a program set by the whole province of Rizal and some towns in Metro Manila like Pasig, Marikina and San Juan. It’s a yearly affair for Girl Scouts of the Philippines and we regularly hold it at Pasig Capitol but this time the venue is at SM Event Center in Taytay. One look at the place and I knew it can’t possibly housed all attendees and after one hour of staying there the managing team of GSP decided to separate Star Scouts from Juniors and Seniors. Star Scouts stayed in the Event Center inside SM while Juniors and Seniors transferred to Parking Area at the basement.

It’s not comfortable there and the speakers were not audible so we just stayed there and participated in some of the activities but the sense of fulfillment of the activities were not felt by the attendees. And since it’s in the mall I just took consolation that at least we can choose any food or restaurant we want. I brought along Josh so he can make some relaxing and strolling at the mall and he’s very happy about it. He ate with gusto at McDonald with his favorite fried chicken and so are his siblings, his two sisters Ruth and Gen.

We finished all activities then I let them roam around the mall taking notes that they particularly likes to enter bookstores like National Bookstore and Precious Pages where there are educational toys and books available for my kids’ age level. Of course they played arcade games in Quantum. Last stop was in the SM Hypermart so I can still have my regular marketing. We’re all very tired when we got home.

Plans For Myself

As I have already filed my resignation two months ago and is currently extending my stay in my work due to my employer’s request I’ve been thinking these days what to do after my resignation. Actually I’m not even sure how long would my extension will be as there’s no one to replace me as of this day. There are applicants but we still haven’t picked anyone. I’m planning that when the time comes that my boss will finally agree that I may be released from my work I will be thinking of a small business aside from paid blogging. I’ve been reading a lot and I browsed about futures trading which is also an opportunity but I really haven’t decided yet what kind of business will I finally settle in.

Accepting The Fact

As my vehicle going home is so slow in moving I saw in details how the people in my neighborhood has slowly trying to accept the fact that they really has to move back. Some garment shop tried to finish orders from them and took advantage of every single day that their areas were not given last deadline of moving back. It’s their only source of living and after the clearing they will be transferred to another business location.

As the days go by the houses who are less affected gets cleared first to initiate fast clearance works. We’ve been doing some reminders for my mom because she’s the one who will instruct the workers on the restoration works. I just called her now from my office and they started to clear our walls and gate now.

Child Dedication

There’ll be a mass child dedication of four babies in our church and one of them asked me to sponsor her baby girl, actually we call sponsors as witnesses. I’ll be sponsoring the granddaughter of our Pastor in the church. Baby Ryza is so cute and you’ll surely like her when you talk to her as she’s so bubbly, she’s 6 months old now. I’ve been thinking of what will I give her on her dedication and decided to shop for baby clothes that will fit her age and looks. On almost all my godsons and goddaughters I always give clothes as gift because I’m so fond of looking and shopping clothes for babies.
