:FF/FTP : School Farewell Foods

These are some of the foods at Gen's Grade V farewell party in school sponsored by top ten students of section 1. Gen got the 4th place and she happily came up the stage once more getting the reward for all her efforts and perseverance in studying. We decided to buy donuts as Gen told me that her classmates will surely love it. Four boxes were enough for them because some didn't attend the farewell and recognition activities because it falls on holy week. Some spent their vacation on their provinces. There were different kinds of pancit and bibingka, pandan gelatin, drinks and some other foods.

A Way To Cool Down Heat

The sun’s heat is so intense these days that we really need to do something in our house to prevent the sun from penetrating our windows and curtains. I’m finding it hard to work sometimes so maybe it's a good idea if we use blinds instead of silk curtains in the room where I’m working. I’m having my imagination works now and I’m thinking of choosing cool pastel colors to complete the refreshing and cool ambiance I want to have in my working room. I’ll have to find a good brand now.

Instant Quotation

My cousin dropped by the house and I asked her if she knows anything about the instant life insurance quote I heard from a friend. My cousin is an insurance agent and if I have some questions about insurances I know I can depend on her most of the time. This one I’m asking about is different from her handled accounts because they didn’t offer instant quote. Oh well I think I can get it online if I want to just like some important errands I have made.

Choosing the Right Web Host Provider

As many bloggers know having your domain and choosing your web hosting is very important in blogging. I remember when I started blogging three years ago I was content in having a free-hosted blog but when I’m already blogging for months I realized the necessity of owning your own domain name. With this realization I started finding a web host that will satisfy my need for good service and affordable price. I read reviews and gathered information from my friends who knew some web hosting providers. Reading reviews is very important as you’ll know the top providers, their capacities and their rates. You can start from there as I’ve done in my blogs.

Now I’m maintaining more than one blog and each have their own domain name. I’m still thinking of adding a new health and home site to my currents blogs and as such I’m browsing some sites to know the latest offers from the top ten web hosting providers. I found that bluehost review have a lot of positive things from the users’ review and it’s now no. 2 in the list. It offers unlimited domain hosting, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited disk space. And they have a special offer now of a free domain for a very small amount. Well that’s really an offer if I may say so and with excellent customer support which is what I’m always looking for because it’s very important when you have trouble in your site. Some of my friends are already using bluehost and I haven’t heard any negative comments.

If you want to read reviews and search for the right web host for your site you can check out AlreadyHosting.com, a free web hosting review site that provides the list of top ten web hosting providers, articles, reviews and everything you need to know in finding the right web hosting provider.

Finished With School Activities and Ceremonies

Still feeling tired after the weekly school activities of my kids. The first week was my little boy's moving up ceremony, the second one was daughter Gen's recognition ceremony in school which seems like a graduation ceremony to me for having consumed around two hours including the waiting time. I still have to post the recognition pics and this morning was my eldest daughter Ruth's graduation from primary school.

It was a relief finishing these activities and I was happy that they have done their best in school even if Ruth didn't made it to the top. I was happy that she easily passed her entrance exam for the christian school we both want. They were happy that we celebrated their Ate's graduation with lunch in their favorite KFC and gaming moments in Tom's World. I'll post these activities soon! I'll rest for now!

Setting Your Goals

Set goals - goals are very important to success. Why are goals important? When you know what you want, you’ll know a good opportunity when you see it. You’ll have more focus and dedication because you’re already set up. With goals, you can more easily decide which opportunities you should follow up on. And you’ll know where you are at. You’ll work harder to get back on track if you fail behind your established goals. It’s like a life that’s focus on directions, you’re more likely to be right.

Better Investment With Precious Metals

When you open newspaper and watch television news you’ll see the effect of economic crisis on people’s lives. The news about robbery and the increasing rate of underage children working is indeed very alarming. I can link some of these wrong doings due to severe need for money to sustain their basic necessities. They need to have ample amount of money for their daily survival. Even the regular employees can’t seem to manage their salary properly as most of the times the salary is not enough to feed and clothe their families.

With this economic situation going on in our lives many seek for other means to earn money or if they have enough money they want to invest it for their future. Now when it comes to good investment I read about the kind where you only have to buy gold bars and let your investment appreciates value in years to come. When you think about it gold is really a better investment because precious metals are known to last generations with increasing value.

Expensive to Maintain

We’re home from long travel from the highlands in Cavite near Tagaytay and I must hurry up with reading auto insurance reviews because I must find the most reliable and affordable in town. Big brother needs it for his two cars so he can travel with assurance that his cars are covered. Although I must get on as fast as possible with my household tasks I have to find some reviews on the net to help my brother compare insurances so he’ll know where to get the best. Sometimes it’s easier if you don’t have many cars because it’s very expensive to maintain them.

Parting With Our Car

Our car which I’ve bought from my employer has been damaged by the flood that hit Metropolis last year and because DH has no time to monitor its repair it was shelve for months. Our mechanic had so many cars in line to repair hence our car waited for him to be vacant. Lately we’ve been using brother’s pickup for our service in attending Sunday service and we thought of buying a bigger vehicle than our Nissan Sentra. I’m looking for a cheap auto insurance quotes for the car but I stopped getting one because we talked about if we’re going to have it repaired or sell as it is.

Many buyers are offering me to sell the car but I wouldn’t hear of it because the car has a sentimental value to me as its part of my separation pay from my former job. We used the car for five years and it has served us on our travel trips to Cavite, Tagaytay City, Laguna and other missionary travel in our church. It’s like a family member to us and as such parting is a hard thing for all of us especially to me as it’s a remembrance of my 16 years employment with DSI and BT&T.

But when we looked at the damages it has suffered it would take us some finances to get it running again like the way it used to be and we also have to replace the body if we really want it to be well maintained. We’ve decided to sell it and I’ve chosen the buyer that will restore it to its normal condition. I rejected those who want to pick only the parts they want and junk the others. I’m sure that my buyer who is a mechanic also will make it good again and I hope to see it one day running again.
