Investments

My relatives think that I know everything there is in the accounting world. I am a general accountant. I don’t know that much about investments but they keep on asking me about it. The last time it was private placement memorandum. I told them that I only know forex investments, short-term money market placements and [...]

No sharing

Leila just had an acne treatment done on her. She was surprised to find the acne back again after only a few days. When she investigated, it turned out that her brother who also has acne used her towel. She freaked out when she found out about it! No sharing of towels. That’s the number [...]

Busted knee

I had a knee injury before. It’s just minor but it was painful. My doctor advised a joint pain relief for me and it did the trick. It was a long time ago and I got the injury from gym. I did a bad turn and my knee got busted. I was just reminded of [...]

Pressure at work

She has dark eye circles when I saw her. I know she’s having problems with her work. I didn’t know the extent of it until I saw her. She really looked like life is beating her to pieces and she’ll soon raise the white flag. I hated seeing her that way because I know that [...]

Discipline is the key.

The best weight loss pills are just out there, waiting for me to pick them up! I do need to lose weight. Seriously. I know I’ve been saying it for a year now. I kept on lamenting over the fact that it’s hard to go on a diet. That’s because it is. But I am [...]

Embarrassing

It can be embarrassing if people will notice that your face is filled with dirt. Blackheads, pimples, acne, warts… you name it. Go get a facial or something. There are different kinds of facial treatments you can get. You can even get rid of the oil blocking your pores. And the blackheads… there’s a treatment [...]

Think of your future

Seeing this old couple makes me realize that it is important to think of your future, to plan ahead. Sure, your kids will take care of you (some don’t!). But it is embarrassing to depend on your grown up kids especially when they are already married and with kids of their own. Chances are, the [...]

Classic pieces

Not every one of us can afford expensive pieces. Watches, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings… Holsted Jewelers knows that! That’s why they create pieces of jewelry that are crafted beautifully but are easy on the pocket. Wear sapphire earrings that will make the people around you say “Wow! I love that!”. They need not know it’s [...]

Love-hate with Goog

Goog has a love and hate relationship with this blog of mine. During the last update, I lost my PR. This blog was formerly a PR1/PR2 (depending on the day!?!). Then it became a zero during the October update. Surprisingly, two to three weeks after the update, I got my PR back. Shocking, right? Naturally, [...]

Anticipate!

If you are going on a long trip using your rv, better have it checked first. You don’t want an rv breakdown on your hands when you are on the road, that’s for sure. To prevent this from happening, anticipate the needs of your rv right away. That’s what I always tell my siblings. Anticipate. [...]

Light up a room

As I’ve said in a previous post, I will ask my dad to have smoky glass tiles installed in our bathroom. I am thinking of having a portion of our kitchen wall replaced with glass tiles as well. I love seeing the rays of the sun lighting up a room in the house. It not [...]

Vacations for 2010

This is a promise to myself for this year: work harder than ever so there’s funds for a vacation come summer and the holidays. I want to go on book an Outer Banks rentals. I want to go to the City of Pines once more with the relatives. I would love to go to Disneyland [...]

Save up on electricity

I have asked my dad to change our bathroom lighting. I want it to be brighter. I also want to make a portion of the bathroom wall replaced with smoky bathroom tiles. So that in the morning, we don’t need to turn on the lights but would let the rays of the sun light the [...]
