Where Does Your Monthly Income Go?

The bulk of my income a month goes to expenses related to my daughter. Her monthly school tuition fee is on top, then her daily therapy fee, her daily maintenance medicine, groceries mostly consist of food she can eat, then for transportation, food and communication expenses.

I barely have money to save for emergency medical expenses, what more for to pay for a monthly disability insurance just in case.

I’m glad that blogging paved the way for me to get free beauty products, free beauty treatments, clothes and free trips to places I know I can’t afford being a single mom making ends meet.

When I was still pure single without a child I have funds for all my vanity stuff but now all my money goes to my child. I am not complaining because God has blessed me with a beautiful and sweet child.

Going Green

I think I’m the only person in the world who doesn’t have a led monitor. Everyone seems to be veering that way because they said its more environment friendly and saves energy at the same time.

I heard the technology is like that of those on cellphones and they consume less energy but is very effective and bright. The said the same technology is being applied on led flashlights.

But I don’t want to replace my monitor yet because I don’t know where will I dump my old monitor after and since its still working I don’t feel the need to replace it because replacing it and dumping it somewhere ads more to the worlds waste.

Which leads me to ask, where do you dump your electronic waste?

Professional Blogger

I used to be skeptic about people making money at home using their internet connection.  I always thought such was a scam.  I heard of online advertising and paid writing gigs but I never thought how a personal journal can make money for someone, until I did it.

Its funny how I carry my bloggers business card now.  I had my own design and had it printed with someone who professionally doesbusiness card printing. It was a lot cheaper than the usual since I did my own design.

For those who are starting out and would like to be taken seriously or gain more contacts you should carry your business cards and your on your way to being a pro-blogger.

Dream Christmas

Although my bf thinks I will hate snow when I fully experience it, I still want to experience a white Christmas.  I want to create my own snow angel and make my own snow man and be all bundled up for the cold weather.

I also want to sit by a fireplace, cuddle up and drink hot cocoa or coffee with my loved ones while telling stories. Christmas stockings would look real good on any of these Amish fireplaces.

The Christmas tree would look lovely beside the fireplace too. A family portrait would look awesome with this backdrop.

How about you what is your dream Christmas?

To Home School Or Not?

Deciding about your child’s education is one of the most crucial decision in their life that will either make or break them.  With the quality of education in public schools and the expensive tuition in private schools parents are now considering to have their children home schooled.

However home schooling is also a big decision as it will take for one parent to either leave his or her present work to the the teacher of their children or will have to juggle all the time he has to fulfill both duties as an employee, a teacher and a parent.

I suggest before you decide on the type of education you will give your children you do some research and consider an Online School that can help you organize your child’s curriculum easily and will give you tips to a successful home schooling.

Will you ever consider home schooling or you rather stick the the traditional form of education?

Replacement For My Old PC

I’ve had this PC for as long as I can remember. It helped me a lot with my line of work since I do at home writing gigs. But lately it has been a trouble especially when I need to take it to the repair shop. Its to heavy to carry around a PC tower especially for someone who is so tiny like me.

I’m now thinking of replacing this old PC for a netbook which is easier to bring anywhere and in case of problems its easy to carry on a big purse. I’ve been looking at netbook reviews online and found a couple of the laptop brands I think of buying.

HP mini, ASUS Eepc, ACER and MSI netbooks are four of the brands that I’m carefully studying about. I really don’t do much in my computer except blogging and chatting and a few JAVA games like Plants vs. Zombies and Chuzzle.

Do you have any suggestions on the netbook brands I’m thinking of purchasing? Any of you use them? How are they performing? Tips are very much appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

My First Car

I don’t drive and so I don’t have a car.  But in case I am forced to drive and get me my own car I would get a Volkswagen as my first car.

I’m sure some of you will laugh at this but well I’ve always adored the Beatle.  It’s so cute and looks very durable.  But I was told by my bf that its hard to find parts of this old car these days and so he suggested I get some other car.

Well, I would like to have a Ferari, I love how it looks and I heard its fast and its easy to find Ferrari parts these days. I won’t be going mechanic I’ll leave it to the boyfie. I think he would love to drive my first car for himself and would drive me anywhere I want if I get a Ferari.

How about you? What was your first car?

Reconstructing A Bathroom Is Very Tedious

My sister doesn’t like her bathroom that was constructed on our new condo and so she asked me to look around for bathroom fixtures and materials that would suit to the bathroom she wanted.

She wanted that water-saving space-saving toilet that has a sink on top and that recycles water. Such toilet is hard to find and source out and most I found were already sold out.

When I was browsing I saw some Kohler toilets that are space-saver like the Kohler Persuade and Escale. The sink and the water tank are low and we could put the sink on top of it the way she wanted to make more space for her bath tub.

They say you can tell how hygienic a person is by looking at their toilets, do you believe this saying?

What Makes A Better Home Construction Material?

My boyfriend (yes I have one lolz) was surprised to learn that most houses in the Philippines are made of concrete because the houses in Canada are either made of steel and or wood.

My bf’s sisters home is made of steel, its actually a trailer home and I believe most houses in Nova Scotia Canada are made of such. I’m not really sure. I think its because its good to keep the heat inside since their country is very cold.

I haven’t seen a lot of steel buildings in the country but there are a few at Cam Sur Water Sport facility and also the WhiteHouse which is an events venue.

I really don’t know when concrete houses in the Philippine came to be but not long before it used to be wood and nipa huts and bamboos.  Our popular folk song  Bahay Kubo is made of bamboo and nipa hut and our national house is made the same.

Ours is a tropical country so as much as possible we want to minimize the heat coming in our homes. We also get a lot of tropical storms and so we need our houses durable.

What do you think makes a better material for home construction? Wood, concrete or steel?

Dress Codes

This is one of my pet peeves.  A dress code is a dress code.  Isn’t it too hard to understand simple dress codes on events and work.

When someone tells you you should wear business suit, office attire, or come-as-you-are how come some people doesn’t seem to understand it and go against what was told?

Can’t they understand the dress code that they wear something else or are they attention seekers attention hogs who wants to be the center of attention.

I was watching a video of a U.S. employee who was allegedly fired because she dress too sexy for work.  Is violating the dress code at work a reasonable ground to fire an employee?  I guess so, if she was told several time and even got paper warning for it but refuses to follow then that’s a ground for termination, if she can’t follow simple office rules what more on other matter.

Just my two cents.
