Having A Baby And Investing

babie — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 06:06:09 +0000

I wonder if I should start buying for some baby stuff for the baby. I know I have just ended with my first trimester but from what I can recall, I had a hard time moving around during my 7th month with my first pregnancy. I will not buy a lot of stuff just a few things that I will need especially during the first few months. If I will be getting another CS, I know I will not be able to go out and move around after I have given birth. Thus, I need to buy the things while I am pregnant or else I will not be able to buy them.

Actually, I remember regretting not planning the baptism of my daughter while I was pregnant. It is so hard to coordinate with all the suppliers at home. Unless, the baptism happens a couple of months after I have given birth. Speaking of which, investing is also like having a baby. You have to prepare yourself for what is to come. So you have to read up on all that you can about it. Like when you are about to buy gold coins, you just do not go around and buy them wherever you feel like buying them. You need to read up and stock up on knowledge. So you will know if it is a good time to buy them or where is the best possible place to purchase them.

Another Busy Weekend For Us

babie — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:39:52 +0000

It’s going to be a busy weekend for us. This time the things that we will be doing are not really for us but for others. My husband will be attending practices Saturday and Sunday because he is the chosen speaker for this Sunday’s service. So he has to choose and rehearse the songs for praise and worship. Plus, he also has to practice for the dance thing for the youth concert that will be happening this month. Can you believe it? Lol! If you want to watch, I have tickets. It only costs 30 pesos each and it is for a noble cause. All of the money that the youth ministry will be getting will fund this outreach program that the church is planning to have this summer. They plan to visit and spread the Good News to one of the tribes that exists in the mountains near Baguio. I can’t seem to recall now the exact name of the tribe where they will be going.

As for me, I will be looking for wedding favors for a friend. She asked me if I could help her out since she is clueless when it comes to things like these. Since my husband is going to be busy I do not think he will mind that I will be keeping myself busy too. While we are at it, I am hoping I will be able to find a fetal doppler device. I haven’t found one yet and I am still quite hesitant to order one online. I want to check the device out first before I buy it. I want to see if it really works.

Old Cars, New Cars And Driving

babie — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 01:52:11 +0000

Yesterday I had a good chat with my online friend Milette. I was waiting for my daughter to finish her after school class while she brought Anevay for hers. So while waiting we chatted about how hard it is to manage after school activities of our daughters. Hehehe. We also talked about big schools, how dangerous the world is and how she should drive a car to make it easier for her to go places and do her errands. I must admit that driving can be so stressful but it is so convenient especially during the times when it is so hot or when it is raining or when you have to do the groceries or when you have to go places to buy things that your daughter needs for school.

My husband is also thinking of getting a new car. Since our family is growing, I think he is thinking of replacing it already. In fact, he already told me his choices. Plus, I caught him several times checking off- road wheel and tire packages 4×4. He found this site where it offers wheel and tire packages. The store has the best customer service and they ship their products for free. I remember when my husband bought his car, the first thing that he did was buy mags and a new set of wheels for his car. Personally, I think it is a good idea but I would rather use our old car since it is still working just fine.

As Soon As I Give Birth

I do not know what food has these days that it is very easy to gain weight and so very hard to lose it. I used to be reed thin back then. In fact, there was even a time when I had a 22″ waistline. I am not kidding! Let’s say I was not pregnant, I will never get back the body that I had before I became pregnant. I remember last year I only ate two times a day (lunch and dinner) and yet I only lost a couple of pounds. It’s very hard to starve oneself you know. There is this blogger that I know who is also a mom and she lost a lot of weight. I am guessing she is using the best weight loss products in the market. I hope that I will be able to lose all these weight too after I give birth.

Assigned Cars For Field Employees

babie — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 02:00:27 +0000

I am currently doing this research on auto allowance so we know what we have and what we need to save up for once we get another car. I do not know if my husband will qualify though because he is not a field employee. I think only field or mobile employees get that privilege from the company that they work with just like my soon to be brother-in-law. Assigned from that, I think he also gets an assigned car every year and there is an annual car upgrade. He is now driving a luxury car. He was assigned with a Honda when I met him. So that is one of the benefits that field employees get. I remember my friend’s siblings who also get assigned cars. They no longer need to buy their own cars because they already have their company cars. But they tend to buy them once they are assigned with an upgrade especially since they are sold at such a low price. Although, I think my husband should check on whether he qualifies for it. Who knows? Maybe the company that he is with has that for all the employees. It does not hurt to ask right?

Anyways, after I finished with the research I will go out and get some breathing space. I need retail therapy.

If You Need Financial Advice

babie — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 10:24:33 +0000

If there was one career that I did not dream of having, it was to become a CPA. I was never good in math. Good thing there are people who are excellent in Math and if ever I will need financial advice I can go to one. There are a lot of qualified financial advisers such as the ones that KondlerCPA, a Las Vegas CPA firm, has. They can manage all types of industries from homeowners associations to petroleum distribution. They are known for their commitment to their clients. So if you need financial advise, I suggest you consult it with them. Although, if you need an advice in relationship, I am the one to call. Hehehehe.

Signs That You Should Not Drink The Water

babie — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 01:15:44 +0000

We all know how important clean water is. That is why I do not allow my daughter or myself to drink unfiltered water. Sadly, not everybody knows that even water filters need to be replaced. If the water from your water filter or water purifiers already tastes bad or it has an order or you can detect lime or see rust in your water or ice, it is definitely time to replace it! No need to wait. It is actually recommended to replace it every 6 months.

I actually found a site where you can order the very famous 4396710! We all know why it is so famous right? For those who do not know, aside from cleaning your water it does not remove the flouride from it.

I remember the saying, “Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink,” is definitely not applicable this time around.

Can’t Stop Christmas

babie — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:03:18 +0000

Hmmm. I should not procrastinate. I have been doing that for the past few weeks. I know that I need to make a list on people whom we should be giving Christmas gifts to. Aside from family, friends and churchmates, I should not forget to about my hubby’s subordinates. I should ask him how many staff employees he has at the moment so they will be receiving something from their boss. Since I am not quite familiar with who they are, the gifts should be unisex and something practical such as an Advertising flash drive. A flash drive is always useful to have right? People always appreciate receiving one or two of them to keep their files accessible and portable all the time. Plus, it is not that expensive so it fits right into our budget for gifts.

Lost Another Pair Again

babie — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:46:29 +0000

I have been looking for my sunglasses for the past few weeks. I always put them in the car because that is the time when I use them. I only use them when I drive and so I do not know why I haven’t looked for it for a couple of weeks or so. Anyways, I am always like this when it comes to my accessories which is why I seldom buy Designer sunglasses for myself because I only end up losing them. I am very unlike my hubby who always know where he places his stuff. Hehehe. Anyways, even if I do not buy them for myself, I can always buy them for others right?!? Especially since this season is the season for giving which is why I am already checking out the site of Zephyr Sunglasses. They always give the best price when it comes to high-end designer pieces.

A Wish List Item

babie — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:23:32 +0000

For the past few months, I have been using my phone as my digital camera too sometimes even my video camera. It is convenient since I do not have to bring so many gadgets every time. However, the quality of the pictures are sacrificed. I know that! This is precisely why I am thinking of buying a digital camera. I have been setting my heart on this digital camera. The quality of the pictures are the same with that of a dslr but without the bulkiness. So yeah, it is the perfect camera for me. But this particular camera is so expensive which is why I haven’t decided yet. I want to make sure that it can deliver and I must make sure that it is the best amongst the rest so I am currently reading up on the different features (pros and cons) of the different digital cameras that are at par with the one that I want and the reviews made by the people who have bought them.

This is one of the pictures taken yesterday by my phone camera. Not bad eh considering the specs of the camera. Imagine what I can do with the camera of my choice. Hehehe!

Anyways, we were at Amici, eating our super late lunch (after my daughter’s check-up). This is what I love about my daughter even if she’s sick, she is still happy.
