Only The Good Stuff

A Travel Expense

We’re supposed to buy a luggage last month but opted not to when we were surprised to find out how expensive they were, and they’re not even the branded kind. We’ll make use of what we have and replace the old luggage that we have in Manila. The price of a branded luggage, like Eagle [...]

Until Then

If I could find a good franchise opportunity that we can afford to finance, I would rather grab that chance that go back to the workforce. Unfortunately, putting up a business is not as easy as getting a job and the responsibilities entailed are far greater. But this will be worth a re-look, once the [...]

Those Precious Trees

It’s the time of year for us when we receive mailers from our insurance companies to renew or add options to our current policies. These mails often come with additional insurance quotes for other coverage/discounts that they offer. Of course, we just keep the documents we need and throw away the marketing stuff. I wonder [...]

Travel Jitters

I have started preparing my checklist for our trip to our home country next month. It is a pretty daunting task to prepare for this trip because it will be the first time that I’ll be traveling with my two kids. So far, I have booked and paid for the tickets, which by the way [...]

Staying Put for Now

With the love-hate relationship that I have with our current apartment, I started checking out potential rentals over the Internet today. See, there are a lot of things that I love about the house that we are renting right now and just one thing that I “hate” about it, and that is, the carpet. With [...]

Daily Grind

Our vacation trip back home is just a little over a month away. Yey! And apart from taking care of the travel logistics, I am also thinking of ways to get back in shape. Aside from missing my pre-pregnancy clothes, it has become more physically challenging to cope with the demands of two very young [...]

Over-Weight

I recently checked my weight on our scale and learned that I have 5 kgs of pregnancy weight to lose. To some, it’s not a lot to worry about but for someone who doesn’t have an exercise regimen or a diet plan, 5 kgs is a lot! It has been a little over three weeks [...]

Just ‘Google’ It

I can no longer remember the last time I used the yellow pages. Since most of the businesses nowadays have presence on the world wide web, it is much easier for many people (like me) to “google” for contact numbers on the Internet as opposed to browsing the thick and musty smelling free directory. But [...]

Green Shopping

Since Target stores here in Australia introduced their recyclable plastic bags I had planned to buy an enviro-bag to bring with me each time I visit their store. Thing is, I always end up buying a recyclable bag which is a measly 20 cents each but still, it is an extra cost. So finally, I [...]

Spic and Span

We had a friend help us with cleaning our kitchen a few weekends ago. I was amazed on how she managed to make the cabinets, pantry and even the floor tiles sparkling clean! Seriously. I felt that the fee she asked for was not enough because she really did a good job. I hope we [...]
