Knowing the Right Investment

We went shopping for foods and other essentials last week and I was really surprised with the fast paced increase in prices. All basic commodities are the ones that incur high percentage of increase. This is just bad as salaries of employees and workers continue to be that small. I’m not surprised why there are many applications now for loans and credits. It’s because their wages are not enough to support their family’s needs. I told my friends in my previous job that they should have investment so they can have other sources when things get rough. There are many fields of business where you can place your money. You can buy gold coin or other precious metals because they were tangible investment. They can try small-scale business, realty business or any other investment but it should be what you really want to do in life.

:Today's Flowers #111/Ruby Tuesday: Vietnam Rose

Click the image to enlarge

This is my take for this week's Today's Flowers and Ruby Tuesday.  This was taken in the village where my MIL lives.  We had a weekend vacation there and rounded up the village for a morning exercise.  When I noticed these petite blooms outside the gate of one house the owner suddenly came out and talked to us.  I thought she didn't want strangers but on the contrary asked me if I want to get some blooms so I can grow them also.  What a sweet neighbor.  She then asked us who is our relative in the village but guessing as she ask us confirming her guess because she said my husband had the same deep set eyes and Indian looks :-)

Now we also have the same blooms in our garden but I want to go back there to get some more lavender and pink blooms.  There are variety of vietnam rose colors like red, yellow, pink, lavender and red orange. 

Happy Monday! To see more lovely flower entries for today's flowers and red  themed photos at Ruby Tuesday click the badges!

She's Out of Danger

I'm so glad that Ruth's fever has finally dropped down and she's free from the danger of dengue fever. She got sick last Thursday after school and we had her CBC and platelet Count tested at the laboratory yesterday. It was a weekend that sent DH, Ruth and I to the municipality hospital and was surprised to find the hospital full of patients. I learned also that the prevailing sickness these days are broncho pneumonia and dengue. Ruth's lab tests are good and her rashes and fever were all due to viral infection. Now she's just recuperating and I hope she'll make it tomorrow to school. I'll let her rest today.

Want to Try Gold Investment?

My school friend has a lot of things to talk about. She told me that one of these days she’ll drop by so we can have unlimited time together. We’ve been separated for several years around two decades if I can remember it right. She’s resentful that she wasn’t successful in pursuing a career pertaining to our course. Actually she may not make it to our field but she’s successful in her own chosen work. She’s become a business woman managing brokerage, travel agency, employment agency and many other businesses that take her fancy. She’s into investments also and I told her if she wants to try investing on gold coins. She’s not familiar with it but she love collecting gold jewelries. I told her to visit United States Gold Bureau sites where she can look and choose from among their offered gold coins. She can have it deposited to a bank secured deposit for safe and secured investment.

Back to Driving

DH is now back to driving and he’s been very active lately in bringing back the pickup to good running condition as it hasn’t been used for more than two months.  He checked up the battery and was relieved that it’s still good and just need some recharging.  Every car that’s not in use regularly usually have some little trouble so it’s better to use your car at twice or thrice a week.  Well this is good for second hand cars like ours.  We need to have change oil for the car and install new motor for the wiper.  We’re positive that we can finish with all of our car’s needs before December because we’ll use it for our camp meeting in Tagaytay City.  It will be a long travel for us that’s why we need to have a good running car.  

The kids were happy as we don’t have to wait for long for taxicab which is getting harder to get because they always want contract price for their service.  They want additional fare aside from the flag down rate and meter reading.  They really know how and when to make demands and that’s during heavy rains.  Now we can go home as soon as our church service ends.  I just noticed some few things that should be added also in the car and that’s installing some good quality rain guards that would protect the car from airstreams and raindrops caused normally by rainy season.  

Well with all things that I need for the car I found CARiD.com and was happy to see their wide variety of online automotive accessories.  No need to worry about the brands and kinds available because they have it all for their clients.  Their products can do a lot for your car be it interior or exterior.  You can trust them to give you the best for your car’s performance, comfort and styling.

Buying Used Cell Phones

I learned how frequent some people change their cell phones because of coping up with the latest trends. Now if we will follow the trends we will be spending quite a big amount of money. We can learn to buy used cell phones from a trusted dealer that will give us quality cell phones in good maintenance condition for an affordable price. You’ll be helping our environment too.

Strength Is....

I believe people get stronger when he experience trials in life. It’s how we get strength. I remember having a problem and my Pastor told me that if I conquer my trials and be a survivor I will gain strength from it. Why? Because I’ll know how to conquer my fears and face the trials in life. We release our pain and ask guidance through our prayers. We gather strength from God.

She Loves Dressing Up

I’ve been thinking of gift ideas for my SIL’s eldest daughter. I know they almost have everything because they were provided for by their parents. I just thought that she would like a good pair of ugg boots when the season in UK gets cold again. She loves dressing up and pairing them with a pretty pair of footwear will complete her look. She looks like the daughter of a well known actress here and when she visited the country three years ago she was called by the name of the young model and actress. People thought she’s KC and on second look only that they knew she’s not. Well she loves media too and planning to stay here for a while to have modelling stints.

Exciting Theme Parks

Last year I accompanied my little boy to a famous amusement park in the south. He was so happy when he first saw the park and was excited to try all the rides there. He rode in the carousel, train, boulders and swan. He played at the tree house and followed the parade of the EK characters there. He was amazed at the beautiful rides even if it’s for adults only and really enjoyed the whole afternoon of fun. I was thinking how he’s going to handle his excitement if he’ll experience the likes of Orlando vacation packages with Magic Disney World, Seaworld, Universal Studios, museums and the whole fun of being in theme park. I know that will be one great vacation experience for him. Who knows I can save up enough money for that exciting vacation.

:Thursday Challenge : School

THURSDAY CHALLENGE

"SCHOOL" (Buildings, Children, Uniforms, Buses, Bicycles, Books, Pens and Pencils,..)

These are my kids' school things - notebooks, pens, pencils, bags and other accessories bought from the book store last May for the school opening last June of this year.  Children get very excited when it comes to shopping for their school things.  Since my kids are big enough to have their own choices I let them pick what they want.  I only guide my little boy because he's just a first grader now but I know when he grows old he would be able to get and choose his school things.  Btw the bag is my choice and Josh loves it!
