Television Monitor

I am here at the mall just window shopping while waiting for my brother to meet me. He went somewhere to buy some things. My eyes caught in the room where there's huge Samsung monitors. And it reminded me that my mother's television is getting so old. I was the one who bought it long time ago before i flew to America. So it made me think that it's perfect time to have her a new one. Her birthday is coming up and this is just a perfect gift for her to have. I am not going to tell anyone so she won't know it until her birthday comes. I love to surprise my mother a lot and she loves it too. This time she is not going to have any idea what i am about to give her, this is another exciting for me and for her as well.

Water Is Necessity

For the very first time of my life i was able to use the mineral water that we can buy from the store so i can take a bath with my kiddos. We had no choice but to use the mineral water because we got no tap water. Water is really a big problem here at my mother's place. All the houses's pipes has been cut by the waterworks because according to them the water cannot support every houses. They only provide one house to supply water each little group of community with the small island. But still water is not enough for the people are using water every single day. I tried to save the mineral water that we used for it is not so cheap! I really can't believe that we would reach to the point like this, so vonggacious i must say!!!

People are so upset about this problem, they shouldn't deal with this kind of hassle because the mayor of this town promised that he will do something about this matter and will fix it so the people don't have to line up their containers to one faucet and wait for their turn which it is going to take for a long for the water doesn't run as fast like it is suppose to. Gosh! I love my mother's place but the mayor should do something about this very alarming problem which is the very necessity of life, WATER!!!! I hope things will be better soon, i so hate not having water in the house for water is like a life to people, whatever people do, water is always needed.

Gold Bullion

Some businessmen are quite successful with their own businesses. Some of them are trying to build it by investing very unusual business such like gold bullion. I have never heard of this kind of business not until a friend showed this to me. It was quiet interesting for me though because i didn't know that there is such certain business like this. As of now i am just learning a little bit about this business and not fully understood the whole thing yet. I promised my friend to help with her about it soon as i gt back there in our place. This can be challenging but the possibility for me to be more busier with my life if ever. Anyway, i'll look at it, i have to study about this matter real carefully because i have never entered business before.

Prenatal Vitamins

I really thought that if a woman is pregnant, she has to take some prenatal vitamins and it's really necessary. But when i had my third child, i was not able to take some vitamins. The doctor didn't gave me some kind of those vitamins. Probably because the baby was too big and healthy enough so no need to be supported with those prenatal vitamins anymore. But my sister is now pregnant and her doctor asked her to take some vitamins to help the baby inside her healthy and won't be sickly soon as the baby comes out. She is not that too young to bear a child anymore so she's got to have some help with the vitamins for her to keep the baby healthy. I hope that when she delivers the baby, there will be no complications or anything, both of them will be healthy and safe.

Swimming Trunks and Floaters

Having such a blast here in my country feels like heaven to me indeed. I really am enjoying every bit of my vacation despite of the extreme weather we are experiencing here with my kiddos. I am glad though that they are slowly adapting the climate here. It sure so different from the temperature we left there in Utah for it was still chilly the day of our flight. Anyway, my oldest son enjoyed the beach so much, he gets so excited every time i tell him we are going to hang out in the beach because he feels so fresh being in the water all the time. In fact, he got a lot darker now for staying at the beach too much. He cannot just get enough in the beach he loves water a lot although he doesn't know how to swim. Oh that reminds me, i need to buy him a new trunks and some kind of swimming floaters. Also the little one needs to be in the beach so he'll feel the refreshing water in the beach as well. I gotta have those before we go back to my mother's place. The seawater will be so big this week and it will be so fun to go to the beach if the water is big and deep.

Dealing Her Weight

I was able to see my classmate in high school and she got so excited when she saw me for we haven't seen each other for a long long time. She was so jealous of me because i look perfectly fit compared to her even though she's been taking supplements for weight loss. I laughed at her because she just told me that she is taking it but she cannot help but to eat every now and then. That's her problem, she cannot control her eating habit. She supposed to cut her carbohydrates down to help her lose weight and will get the figure she's been dreaming to have. It's her problem really, she doesn't have self discipline, because if she does have it, she won't be having trouble to deal with her weight.

Will Be Looking For It

It feels like heaven being here in my beloved country. I still can't trade Philippines from United States Of America for i cannot simply eat the food i wanted to eat and i cannot simply do the things i wanted to do. Like for example going somewhere without taking my kids with me. Here in Philippines, i get a lot of helping hand of my family, i am loving it knowing that i am leaving my kids to the good hands because i am so sure that my family will take care of them like how much i takes care of them. Like today, i am here at the internet cafe right now and doing my pending tasks. I need to hurry and finish all of them before they expire, also the cut off will be later today and i want to get paid this coming Friday not leaving pending tasks. I am so happy being here in Philippines. My kids are having fun as well because they have their cousins to play with them. I am so sure that when it's time to get back in Utah, they will look for the fun they have here in Philippines.

It's Not In Our Budget

Before i left back to where we live, i noticed that our neighbor's RV is not parked to their driveway. Good thing i was able to talk to our neighbor and asked her about their RV because i haven't seen it for awhile already. She told us that they have to send it to the shop to repair it because it has a little damage or something. She is thankful that they have the extended service plan that's why they didn't worry too much of the high cost repair expenses. I asked my husband how much does it cost to keep an RV like what our neighbors have, and he told me that he thinks it depends how big or small the RV is but he is so sure that some RV cost a whole lot to keep it, especially when it's new, big and it's furnished inside. For me, i don't think i would keep a vehicle such like that because it will too much for us and it will hurt our budget for sure.

Not Too Late Yet

When it comes to security, you always think of your family's first security, don't you? For hubby and me, we don't really care if the life insurance rates is a little too high as long as the benefits of our kids are secured. They are our first priority and they are our precious treasure, we always think ahead of their future and we are making sure that everything will be alright if ever one of us their parents will be gone. If you love your family, you don't think about the expenses you are going to pay every month, you just have to think that what you are paying is going to be your family's security that will make their life better if ever you are not around anymore. Do something for your family while you can, it isn't too late if you haven't done it yet, you might regret later seeing your family is not financially stable due to they didn't get nothing when you're gone.

Dry Cough Due To Hot Temperature

This is the third day of our vacation here in Philippines today. We had so much fun celebrating the birthday of my cousin last night and now we are about to go to the small island where mom lives. I can't wait to be there for i cannot stand the hotness here in the city. I feel so sorry for my kids because they are coughing due to the hot temperature here in the big city where we at right now. Both of my kids has dry cough and so am i. Soon as we get there later today i will boil some "kalabo leaves" a herbal leaves that eases cough. I prefer herbal leaves it's more effective than the cough syrup that i bought the other day, seems like it didn't worked for my oldest son because he still got the dry cough like he wasn't taking medicine. My friend back in Utah is right, the medicines here aren't that effective compared to the medicines we have over there. I just hope that my kids will get better soon as will be in a fresh small island.
