Some Package Deals

I heard some good deals on the price of few netbooks I’ve been looking at for some time. My laptop will be on it’s first year birthday exactly two months from now and I’m perfectly contented with it. I’m eyeing the netbook for special someone thus the reason for eyeing some super discounted sale. When I bought my HP laptop last year I was really overwhelmed with some package deals offered by various stores. 

My hubby’s company store offered a package with printer and few high-end models with ipod nano included on their package deals. I was excited about the promo deals but ended up buying my original choice because I realized that I don’t need those things included in the package. It’s just a waste of money to buy things you don’t need for the moment.

Investment or Business?

When your family is getting bigger or your kids are growing up fast you need to think of ways on how to augment the family’s finances. You need to provide your kids not only with the utmost love and attention but of the things they need like good life and education. They need good education so even if you grow old you’ll never worry about their future. That’s what we’re thinking about now that two of our kids will be in secondary education this coming school year. 

We really need to think of good investment like buying precious metals like silver bars or gold but this one should be planned carefully as it involve big amount of finances. Anyway now that we don’t have enough money for that kind of investment we might as well push through with our current small business plan of selling wholesale fruits from our provincial hometown.

Balancing My Work Schedule

I was quite busy these days and I’m thankful that DH has started his school break this week. The kids are all on their fourth quarter exams and few days more they will have their summer vacation. It’s just the right timing for my part-time work which I’ve started this month. It’s actually just a help on documentations, forms, agreements and some things on business start-up. I like doing it now compared to when I was still working because I somehow missed my work and the person who asked me to work on it. It’s a nice feeling to meet up again with office friends you’ve worked with for several years and doing the work you’ve accustomed doing. 

My work simply involves the things I’ve done in my past employment and not about anything I’m foreign about. Now I’ve got loads of online tasks to finish and I’m planning to work overtime or overnight to lighten my load. I was just thinking if I’ll be working hard in the following days to come I may have some questions to my friend on how to get rid of dark circles because that’s my biggest problem when I sleep late or when I don’t sleep at all. It’s always like that for me after series of sleeping late at night. Anyway I can recover easily because my time is flexible and I can take short naps on not-so-busy days. I learned how to balance my time, rest and sleep with my online work now.

Thick and Strong Hair

My daughters are growing up so fast and little by little I’m seeing some of myself in them especially the younger girl because she looks like me and her ways are more like me when I was her age. I noticed though that her hair is a lot thicker than mine but the same kind of long straight tresses. I like thicker hair because they have less possibility of getting thinner when they grow old. Well, I know that these days it’s not so much of a problem because there are solutions like best hair loss products but it’s always more comfortable not to use any treatment if you can help it. 

I remember my father had problems with receding hair and I’m seeing the same problem with my brother. I guess it’s the genes so I’m watching over my kids to see if they inherit the same weakness in hair. If it’s on the male side only I have to watch my little boy because he strongly resembles me and my brother . But if Josh inherited my husband’s side he’ll be worry-free. Hubby got thick and strong hair.

TC: Green - Picnic Grove Park

Thursday Challenge

for fun and learning

"GREEN" (Plants, Cloths, Cars, Toys, Houses,...)

This is our favorite place when we want to relax and rest from the bustle of city life.  This is Tagaytay Picnic Grove, a park with a breathtaking view of Taal lake and volcano.  This park is nestled  at the slopes of Tagaytay Ridge and has a mild temperature because of the high altitude. All around the park are  lushes of green plants, trees and grass that's why I've chosen this one as my entry to Thursday Challenge.  This place is a popular destination for students on field trips, couples, tourists, local and foreign visitors and groups like us.  It has cottages, camp areas where we frequent most, playgrounds, restaurants and function halls.  We often stay on  picnic tables and sheds and do some grill cooking there.

Jamaica Hotels Vacation

I heard that song which portrays Jamaica, The Bahamas and other neighbouring islands in a tone which implies that they are beautiful islands to stay on. When I was younger I really had no idea about those islands mentioned in the song, but when I learned that they are great vacation spots I began to understand the song better! 

Jamaica has beautiful beaches, coves, soft sands and has the richest landscapes in the Caribbean making it so perfect for vacationing tourists. My friend stayed in one of the Jamaica hotels in the area and told me that she had the most wonderful vacation ever! Well there are other equally beautiful places in the Caribbean aside from Jamaica which are nice places for vacationing too. 

If you're wondering whether it's too expensive to stay there, just visit Breezes Resorts and you'll see their super inclusive packages offered at their various resorts like Negril Jamaica which is famous for its 7-mile beautiful expanse of beach and soft sands. If you want to book a nice family vacation you'll be glad to hear that their package includes accommodation, gourmet dining, drinks, entertainment and sports activities.

For a vacation with shopping, picture-perfect beaches and sports like polo and golf you can book into one of the Ocho Rios hotels which is where you'll find the famous Dunn's River Falls. It offers a variety of activities for the whole family and it includes water and land sports like waterfall climbing horseback riding, river rafting and a lot more. There are plenty of activities for kids and adults alike. With their all-inclusive vacation package you will not worry about anything, just enjoy and relax your body and mind.

"METAL" (Metallic, Steel, Bronze, Gold, Iron, Shinny,...)

 

These are shots from my daughter's Science exhibit which she attended together with her classmates.  They've rounded up several booths showing gadgets, machines and some science innovations.  It's fun for them and I'm glad she brought the camera with her bringing home plenty of pictures for my photo storage :D.

Family All Inclusive Vacations

We're now planning for our summer camp meeting next month in time for the Holy Week season. We always do our summer camp meeting fellowship every year and we hold it in faraway provinces just like we're having a vacation at the same time. We've always had them far from our own places, but this time we're going to hold it in the hills of the town next to us. We're all excited for the day as if we were really on a vacation, but this one is our outdoor fellowship services where we sleep in tents and camp in villas and gardens.

After the camp meeting we're planning to look for affordable family vacations to release the stress and tiredness of the past several months. We're taking advantage of the kids' summer vacation and school break because after this summer they're back again for another school year. Anyway, we're just staying domestic as we still don't have time and funds for a grand vacation somewhere in the Caribbean, like my friend did for the past couple of months.

I know that there are family all inclusive vacations available online where you can book directly, but I think I need more time to save for it. But for those who are intending to go on this kind of vacation, Breezes Resorts offer all inclusive vacation packages which include accommodations in one of their hotels, meals, drinks, sports activities and also entertainment for the whole family. This package has enough activities for the young and adults like beach volleyball, tennis, surfing, waterfall climbing, horseback riding, polo and even golf.

When I pull the funds together, I will be going to www.breezes.com to book one of their affordable family vacations, and I can't wait!

Stylish Medical Scrubs

My former officemate and friend is really a nurse but she stopped at that time and tried to experience the life of the corporate world. She was employed as secretary and has shown so much interest in her work while practicing her medical knowledge on her family and on us when we need some advice for our babies. She was really a handful of knowledge then for us until the day that she realized she must return and practice her real profession. When I first saw her in nursing uniforms scrub I really thought that it’s really her world as she fits my idea of a true healthcare professional, very neat and proficient in her work. She still looks as beautiful as ever even in her white uniform.

Now she’s based in US for good and we just see each other in FB. Well I don’t see her in uniform now but when I see someone like her I can still imagine how she may look in the modern medical scrubs these days. With the latest trend in style and color she’ll surely look very chic on it especially those of Blue Sky Scrubs because they’re not only made in high quality but of stylish designs as well.

It’s easier to look more fashionable for the medical staff now that they can search, choose and buy scrubs online for the uniforms they want. This way they can save time and effort in going to stores on foot. With the help of online sites like Blue Sky Scrubs they can choose from among variety of styles and colors like ceil blue, green, pink, chocolate, lilac, navy blue and a lot more.
