This is one of the flowers I took a shot upon during our stay in Villa Dominga Forest Resort. Just had some fun taking a shot at the buds then the flowers. Had some rest from Today's Flowers meme for two weeks covering the holidays because I was too busy to post pictures (pictures took some time to upload). Now I'm also having this petite red flowers for my ruby tuesday entry. Hope you find it pretty!

Some Foreclosures

I was having my lunch when I was asked by a friend who regularly reads my blogs if I know a place that she can go to for a vacation. Of course I know many because I’ve been writing them here and in my other sites. For my friend I should search for the best and most affordable also as she don’t want to spend a lot of money on this vacation. I was browsing the net when I chanced upon this Outer banks foreclosures which caught my attention for minutes and I read the whole page. Well it’s not that I want to buy any foreclosed property I’m just interested with the news in case one of my investor friends would want to throw some money into it. Just a thought really!

My Friend’s Business Travel and Vacation

I just talked to my former officemates through online messaging and was glad to know that she’s having a good time with her vacation in the land of the Big Apple. She has a sister there and it saves her money because she has a place to stay with. But when she has business meetings on other place she stays in hotels because it would be too far to travel and she wouldn’t want to be late in any of her meeting with foreign business associates.

Lately she stays in one of las vegas hotel when her business partner requested their meeting to be near her place and she’s living in Las Vegas. They offer her a room in their house but she opted to stay in the hotel because she wants the good accommodation there. She asked me to have some chit chat lunch together when she goes home. Well all my friends abroad always tell me that and I’ll certainly wait for them.

Something New For Us

I’ve been arranging the house interiors different from last year as after the flood we’ve had some changes in our furniture. We’ve given out some of our furniture and kitchen things to start with fresh beginnings and forget the things destroyed by flood. We still have majority of our appliances but we’re thinking of adding some new beautiful addition to our house like a new sofa, new paint colors for the walls or maybe plasma mounts in the living room. We’ve done major changes in our front yard and gate and we’re still planning for some more like changing our floor vinyl tiles. I think it’s the air of new year that’s bringing us to seek for some new in our lives. The fever of new year is really catching us up.

Prudent Gen

Gen is saving up for her MP5 player and she wanted me to deposit it on the bank so she’ll not be tempted to get it from me. I admired her frugal ways of saving all her money for the things that she wants. Actually we’ve already found a cheaper brand of what she like but I told her that I don’t trust the shop that we visited and it would be better if we’ll buy a good branded one from one of the gadgets tech shop in Greenhills. One of my parent friends in school who has a seaman husband has been selling one of her MP3 players to me at a discounted price but Gen told me she really wanted a new MP5 player. Oh well for me it’s really best to let her save for it and get the best that she wants because as young as her age she’s learning to save and use her money wisely. That’s a good training when she grows old.

Renewing Month

It’s another year again and it’s also time to renew licenses, memberships and some insurances. My main concern now is to look for cheaper insurance to cover our health and our car. For our health insurance we have one to cover the whole family although it’s limited only. I still have to search and choose the best insurance quote that will fit my family’s specific needs. There are lots of things to consider when you’re looking for the best and it’s good when you have choices so you’ll know what the companies has to offer. When it comes to car insurance you need to be extra careful in choosing because accidents happen when you least expected it especially when you’re in busy expressway like in the south and north expressway. Oh well this month will also be a busy month for me as my daughter Gen and DH will have their birthdays on the 12th and 22nd. They’re suggesting of a joined birthday celebration. Sounds pretty good!

Caring for My Teeth

Back to work now and back to school also for the kids. I’m still sick from over fatigue but I’m glad that I can still work for few hours because my mind is full of ideas from the holiday activities. Last month was a real hectic month for me as that’s my birthday month, our high school silver alumni, our church camp meeting fellowship and of course the holiday season. I felt bloated with lots of dinner, parties, get together and camping but will start my healthy meal plan next week.

It’s time to check out my dentist again for a return schedule for my dental checkup. As my teeth are not straight my dentist is suggesting some solutions on how to make my teeth more beautiful and presentable. I’m asking for fixed bridge quotation which is really expensive but can remedy my dental disorder but I saw another solution just like I saw from Orange NJ invisalign which can align teeth without pain. I’m really saving some of my hard-earned money for my teeth as it’s one of the most important parts of our body; it affects health and the way you deal with other people. I still have one month to decide and I hope I’ll be able to choose the better solution for me. I don’t want to grow old with weak teeth.
