Stuck in my mind
Filed Under: Posted General Fix @ August 20, 2010 | Comments Off
Have you experienced feeling that your mind is filled with so many ideas but you can’t churn out one? I’m in that very same situation for the past two days now. I have so much to share and yet I can’t put it in words. It’s stuck in my mind! It’s not a good feeling to have so many things going on in your mind all at the same time. So I really pour it out through blog entries.
If I figure out the best way to pull out the thoughts stuck in my mind, you will see a deluge of entries here.
Security we need
Filed Under: Posted Stop and Think @ August 19, 2010 | Comments Off
I know a couple who feels like someone’s spying on them at their very own home. They are suspecting a neighbor of theirs. They consulted a security expert and advised them to buy spy gear so they can spy on the person spying on them in return. Got my drift?
Home is where we feel secure and safe. If we start feeling paranoid and intruded upon, then security is breached and we need to do something about it right away to bring back the safety we need. Spy gear is just one of the tools we can use. There are others that will give us back the security we need at home. Consult a professional first about it.
Celebrity house

What do I do on a Tuesday morning and there’s no more pending tasks for me to take care of? Check out Hansgrohe faucet! I found this in a magazine article featuring a celebrity house. When I saw it, I immediately took note of it and told myself I will buy one for our sinks.
I love buying magazines with celebrity homes featured in it. It gives me ideas on what will make our house beautiful. Like that Hansgrohe faucet I saw.
Balance in life
Filed Under: Posted General Fix @ August 19, 2010 | Comments Off
I need to find my balance. I plunged myself to work four years ago. The real work that made me happy to get up in the morning and stay until the wee hours of the night. I actually enjoyed my work so much that I forgot to have a life outside of it.
These past few months I am trying to find the balance in my life. I go out to be with friends from time to time. I go out regularly with my sisters. I don’t confine myself in my corner at home anymore. I am balancing work and leisure now.
I feel that I haven’t really found the balance yet. There are days when I would ignore everything but work. There are days when I just ignore work and do whatever I please. Balance. Work and leisure.
I will find it. Slowly but surely.
A History buff

Leon is very much interested in gold and silver. His interest is from the fact that he is majoring in history. Archeology actually. He plans to buy gold coins and start a gold collection. It will form part of his formal training, to study the gold coins he’ll get his hands on.
I am not a history buff but I understand the lure of gold and silver. We see it every where around us. Who wouldn’t want a piece of it, in any form?
For more information on gold and silver and other precious metals, go to USGoldBureau.com now. Leon is surely spending time poring over information there before he goes to buy his gold coins.
Two things right this very minute…

I want to drink coffee very badly but it has a reverse effect on me these days. The caffeine won’t kick in and instead makes me really sleepy! My friend told me that it’s just psychological. She’s right. But what can I do? Coffee really has that effect on me these days and I can’t help but think of sleep the moment I finish a cup.
I am listening to David Cook’s cover of Mariah Carey’s Always Be My Baby. I miss watching the guy on Idol. He’s really one of the best contestants I’ve watched in the show. It makes me wonder now what happens without Simon Cowell in the panel of judges. I do believe it will never be the same without him.
Almost like my baby
Filed Under: Posted General Fix @ August 12, 2010 | Comments Off
Sometimes, I feel this overwhelming need to hug my brother tightly. He grew up beside me. I took care of him when my mom was not well enough to do so. He grew up in my arms, humming him to sleep, feeding him baby foods, bathing him and making sure that everything’s fine with him. It felt like he’s my own son already except that he did not come from my sinapupunan. When he’s sick or looks lonely, worried or weak, I feel this overwhelming need to hug him and protect him from a harsh life. He’s 18 now. I couldn’t do that anymore. He outgrew being hugged and kissed by his older sister. All I can do is pat him on the back and tell him to rest and take care.
Single idea spread like wildfire
Filed Under: Posted Stop and Think @ August 12, 2010 | Comments Off
Who would have thought that the idea of a single purchase of a gold bullion will be multiplied and spread in the community? That’s what happened. A single idea that spread like wildfire among the members of the community where Jumbo lives.
You see, a neighbor of his thought about buying gold. You know, he got the idea from an old movie about Japanese treasure. That idea was passed on to another neighbor and before they know it, every one wants to buy gold already!
Well, good for the USGoldBureau.com! They are checking out the site now and preparing to talk to the hard assets professionals to help them with their purchase.
Quote for today…

You’re worried about how you’re going to feel at the end of your life? What about right now? Live. Right this minute. That’s where the joy’s at.
- Abigail Thomas
I am a worry wart. I admit that. I can’t help it. I am the eldest and I grew up thinking about my siblings’ welfare. Most of the time I worry about simple things. I do know worrying won’t do me any good. But I feel guilty if I don’t think about my family’s future.
I don’t know what that says about me but I have been like that for more than a decade now.
Patience…
Filed Under: Posted Over A Cup of Coffee @ August 12, 2010 | Comments Off
There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.
- Willa Cather
I am a very impatient person by nature. I was so used to getting everything I wanted in an instant. I guess you can say I was a spoiled kid. And it had a lot to do with how impatient I can be.
But my impatience is being curtailed now. I am trying my very best to be patient. I would like to believe that I am gaining the upper hand in this struggle. There are days though that I go back to being the impatient grouch but when I notice it, I quickly divert my attention to stop it from consuming me again.
My own home based business
Filed Under: Posted Stop and Think @ August 7, 2010 | Comments Off
When I stopped working for a corporation a couple of years ago, my goal was to open up my own business. Unfortunately, the money I was to use as capital was not enough. And the alternative businesses I was looking into was just too costly to start.
I think I have enough funds right now to support another quest for my own business. This time around, I am looking at starting up a home based business of mine. Hopefully, it will push through and I can finally be financially free soon!
Less courier and telecom costs
Filed Under: Posted Stop and Think @ August 7, 2010 | Comments Off
Vivian’s company bought a document scanning software they can use to lessen the cost of courier and telefax for them. They have branches in three different countries and the means to send them important documents is to courier it most of the time or to fax it.
This time around, with the software that they bought, all important documents will now be scanned and just sent through a secure email. No more courier costs for the company. And less on telecoms expenses, too.
There are ways to lessen the costs in the company. Know more about it so you can apply it.
Warning chime
Filed Under: Posted Stop and Think @ August 7, 2010 | Comments Off
So I am getting a door chime for our home. My dad is a big fan of chimes. In fact, we have a number in our terrace. But he wants one for the door so that whenever he’s left at home alone and he falls asleep, there’s a warning for him when someone gets in the house.
Of course I will get him one. My dad does not ask for much so when he requests for something, I make sure I get it for him as soon as I can.
Little school girl
Filed Under: Posted Stop and Think @ August 6, 2010 | Comments Off
Our little girl will surely need one of those kids halloween costumes. Their school is really active in special occasions so I know now that I will be buying her a halloween costume soon. I just bought her a Filipiniana last week because they will be wearing it every Monday of the month. The next month there will be the United Nations. And then Halloween!
I am happy to see our little girl happy with school. She made new friends and goes home every day with a different nursery song to sing. Our little school girl is enjoying going to school!
Ice purple tote bag
Filed Under: Posted Stop and Think @ August 6, 2010 | Comments Off
I just love the colors of the promotional tote bags being given away in a local store nearby. It has the cool ice purple that I love so much so when I saw it, I asked right away how I can get one. And the store clerk was really kind enough to give me one without doing anything on my part.
Of course, it would be really embarrassing for me to ask for the tote bag without buying anything from the store. I bought some novelty items and a scarf. The store manager smiled widely when she saw my purchases.
Mugs and cigars
Filed Under: Posted Stop and Think @ August 6, 2010 | Comments Off
Hannah bought arturo fuente cigars for her dad. He’s a fan of cigars and he collects it. When you go visit Hannah at home, you’ll see her dad’s cigar collection displayed in their living room. He’s really proud of it you can tell right away.
My collection, as I have mentioned here in the past, are mugs. I know how pleasing it is to the collector to add another one to their collection. I just added another mug last week to mine. So I know how important that cigar collection is to Hannah’s dad.
Ruined pair of shoes
Filed Under: Posted Stop and Think @ August 6, 2010 | Comments Off
I need to get a pair of mbt shoes for a former co-worker. I saw him the other day and I remember I owed him a pair of shoes after I accidentally ruined the one he kept in the office before. I poured scalding coffee in it and well, suffice it to say that it got ruined and went beyond repair. I forgot all about it already but when I saw him the other day, I remembered it.
He told me not to bother and that it’s nothing. But I still feel guilty about it to this day so I am getting him a new pair whether he likes it or not.
Financial struggles
Filed Under: Posted Stop and Think @ August 6, 2010 | Comments Off
We all struggle with our finances every now and then. It’s a fact of life. Even those mega millionaires have financial struggles. So it’s not surprising anymore when you hear someone needing rv financing. Maybe when they bought it a year or so ago, they had more than enough resources to cover it. But then something came up that made them need financing now.
I’ve been in the same situation quite a number of times in the past. So I can relate to what those with financial struggles are going through.
Appetite suppressed
Filed Under: Posted Stop and Think @ August 6, 2010 | Comments Off
Well, who doesn’t want to suppress her healthy appetite? Not me. I want it suppressed as much as I can! I do get tired of always being the big one among my friends. I also want to be the sexy one even for once. That’s why I am interested in phentermine. Who knows? It might be the solution to the weight problems I’ve been having for years and years.
Not a risk taker
Filed Under: Posted General Fix @ August 5, 2010 | Comments Off
I got this from an old notebook I found when we did a general cleaning of our storage room…
Remember that the deepest love and the greatest achievements are the ones bearing the most risk.
The thing is I am not one to risk so much because I am really, really afraid to fail. I hate leaving my comfort zone. I hate changing the status quo. That’s me.
So I guess I’m stuck to mediocre achievements, huh?
;(
