Make Money Out of Old Coins and Jewelries

I used to have collections of many sorts when I was a child. I collect stamps from my godparents in Spain, California and other parts of the world. I collect stationeries of Sanrio and other cute items. They’re all my collections when I was in my young teens’ period but the only collection that I have until now are my photos and old coins. It somehow reminisce my childhood days with my playmates and siblings. The coin collection started with my Mom’s old coin which she gave to me for keepsake and I got excited over it that starting on that day I keep some old coins for my collection when the government replaced them with new ones.

Sometimes there are buyers roaming around our place and tried to coax me to Sell Gold Coins from my collections but I can’t part with them even if they offer a high price. I’m glad that my precious old coins appreciate its value over the years but the thought of selling them now is not open to me. I keep telling myself that it’s also an investment that if things get tough I’ll have something to sell or have fall back.

Learning Some Electrical Repairs

DH’s day off last Thursday was a good day for all of us aside from celebrating his birthday one day earlier. He has managed to repair some of our appliances which have malfunctioned after the flood has submerged our house up to neck-deep water. He has helped Ruth in making her electrical project in school which was not so easy with grade school students. DH has no knowledge of any electrical repairs but managed to follow directions from DIY guide and after more than an hour he has repaired two electric fans and our washing machine. He just asked me for some clamps to help him fasten some small objects because they keep on moving and getting out of place. I noticed that he’s happy doing those works and I told him he can study some short course if he wants to learn more.

:Food Friday - Hubby's Birthday Food!

Today is dear husband's birthday and these are his birthday foods. We celebrated it in advance yesterday as he filed a leave of absence yesterday for a one-day vacation rest in Tagaytay. We didn't go on with the plan of going to highlands of Tagaytay but we spent the day together in the house and decided to cook and celebrate his birthday yesterday. We went to the mall in the morning with Josh as he's on an early morning school schedule and bought some food and electrical supplies for the house.

Later in the afternoon I cooked pasta and chicken, made some delightful fruit salad and ordered cake. My girls were surprised at the advance celebration when they arrived but were happy with it. They were expecting that we're still in Tagaytay. Well everything happens on purpose, maybe on our next plan my young girls will have no exams and they will able to come with us.

Happy Food Friday to all, see other yummy foods here!

Family Vacation This Month

Since I had a bad fall last month I’m not the usual me in everything that I do. I’m weaker now and having my energy lasting for some hours only. I used to be a very energetic person and I do my chores super fast that my family would always call me super mom. Now I feel slightly bad that I can’t do things the way I can previously that I’m planning to have a vacation sometime this month or next month. Since I can’t have it on my own as I also want my kids and hubby with me I’m planning a weekend family vacation so they can come without affecting their school activities and hubby’s work. I know with proper sleep, rest and relaxation I can bring back my body’s health back to its normal condition.

If only we have more funds for our vacation I would also love a vacation somewhere along the beach resorts like in Karisma Resorts where they offer family vacation packages including good gourmet foods, luxury accommodations, entertainment, sports and the beautiful scenic view of the sea from where you’re staying in. Beautiful isn’t it? Well it’s not an impossible thing, who knows!

Make Some Changes

Are you in a rut? Bored? Well how can we solve that? Here are some simple tips for you. Make some changes in your life. Change your schedule. Take a little vacation, somewhere quiet and far from your home and work even if it's just for the weekend. If you’re bored with your job and you think you can easily adjust with a new job then transfer to a new one. I’ve already did that last year when I feel like I’m bored with what I’m doing everyday of my work life.

I told myself that it’s not the career that I want for myself so better get out of it. I resigned and concentrate on my family while earning some bucks from online job. Now I’m a happier Mom, wife and I have more quality time for my family. Just small changes can jar you loose from the old rut and spark a new interest in your life. So it’s up to you what small changes are you willing to take just to have an exciting life again. Remember that boredom can sometimes bring you to some depression so get out of it.
