My 2 cents..

There are a lot of websites that claims they have the best diet supplements for sale but the question is, how would you really know which one works best?

My best bet is that, unless you’ll try it yourself then you would know OR you’ve heard about it from word of mouth OR you’ve read some really good feedback or review from previous and current users then you can tell that it’s the best.

Just my 2 cents…

Integrity

I went to the Commissary (grocery store for military family) today and while parking on the “Expectant Mother”, the next reserved parking space made me smile. It was reserved for the “General”.

It reminded me of my conversation with my husband some months ago. One day when we were shopping at the BX (Basic Exchange, basically a mini-mall for military family; located inside the base), I became so curious as to how would you identify if the person that’s parking on the reserved parking spaces were really are they claiming they were.

So I asked him “Babe, how would you know that these people who parked in these reserved parking spaces are what they’re claiming to be?”

He then smiled and told me “Integrity baby, integrity”.

Whew..I was ashamed of myself. Why did I even asked such stupid nonsense question. I know for a fact that that’s how they live their lives (for heaven’s sake I’ve been married to a uniformed guy for years now and I should have known better), I always admire and respect my husband’s job and profession.

readbud-gladys

Just an update about my PTC account READBUD, I’ve already earned $40.06 as of today and I’m happy to share about it :) .

If you’ve been a constant visitor of my blog, I’m pretty sure you’ve read about my previous article about readbud, but if not and is interested in learning about readbud, click here for the link.

readbud - get paid to read and rate articles

Also, one note that I need to correct on my previous entry, I notice (as well as my downline, I have friends who signed up under me) that when we reach the $30 amount, the articles that were given to us were not as many as before but still since it’s PTC and it’s a FREE membership; it’s still worth it.

Funny but true

Carlo is wearing glasses as well as contact lenses alternately. He normally wear glasses inside the house and wear his contact lenses when he goes out or to the office.

It’s not for fashion of course, he has some eye problem but the contact lens and his eye glasses has been serving him great for years now. One thing that I like about his job is that they always send him for a regular eye check up every year. This means that he always have an up to date reading and prescription for his eyes.

We normally buy his contact lens at the mall but i forgot what’s his brand. All I know is there are a lot of different brands out there like air optics aqua, acuvue, focus, cooper vision and etc and I don’t know which one he buys.

You see, when we go to the mall, we go separate ways lol. He goes to the section where he needs to buy something and I go to a different section where I need to check for my things. You know how guys are, they don’t like being dragged from one section to the last section and being dragged back to the first section where the wife still cannot decide on what to buy :) .

It’s funny but it’s true.

The recession was over since last year? REALLY??

Do you really believe the news yesterday when they reported that the recession ended last last year? It’s laughable isn’t it? We’re not blind, we can see that we’re still struggling, our economy is still suffering. There are still thousands of jobless people out there and I have no idea why they’re claiming that the recession was over since last year.

Also, if it’s really over, then there would be less SAHM (stay at home mom) since most housewives can work and can afford a childcare for their kids. But hence it is not the case right now, most housewives prefer staying at home since childcare is more expensive than how much they earned.

That’s just an observation coming from an SAHM too. Also, I have a personal friend who opted to work on a graveyard shift just so her husband can watch her kid while she’s working and vice versa. That way, they won’t get any childcare services.

For those SAHM’s who want to work at home, that would be a good option too. I am working part time right now, it’s not much but at least I’m earning a bit. You can do crafting ( and for craft business cards, it’s available online), freelance writing, blogging, sewing, babysitting and anything that you can think of generating an income.

All I’m saying is, there are a lot of options for us SAHM out there :) !

I miss my friend

I really do miss a good friend from our former base. She’s a fellow cebuana, we speak the same language and we’re both crazy and funny :) that’s why when I met her, we clicked right away.

Her family and mine hang out in almost every party with other friends. We even go to lakes and go fishing, camping, boating, jet skiing and we had fun. Even though she lived in a different town (an hour away from my house), we still manage to became good friends and now that I live an ocean away from her, I miss her companionship and our good and fun days together.

I remember when we went to Elephant butte in New Mexico, her husband drove thier RV (and hey if you are looking for one, there are a lot of rvs for sale in the internet) with them while carting along thier ‘toys’ ( boat and jet skis). We spent the whole weekend in the lake. We fished, we swim, we bbq, we had a lot of fun.

How I wish I can find a friend like her here in Hawaii. The one where I can open my heart out without any reservations especially that it seemed like we are going to retire in Hawaii :-) .

I was a heavy online shopper

While embracing my being a SAHM (Stay At Home Mom), I’ve been back to browsing the web everyday. I’ve been browsing facebook, different blogs, different websites and of course I have been browsing those sites that contains information about being a new mom :) (remember I’m pregnant? lol) .

I remember some 2 years ago, I usually shop online too ( I don’t normally shop online right now since we live in a big city). It ranges from home improvements like curtains, blinds, accessories, dresses, shoes, furniture, gadgets and anything that I couldn’t find locally at that time. Don’t rub it in my face but yeah, we live in a small county before and the only time that I can shop in a mall is if we’ll drive 100 to 150 miles round trip :) .

So everything that I want to buy were all ordered online. Sometimes I get lucky on getting a free shipping, sometimes I don’t. When we bought our blinds online, we were able to get a pretty good discount and it was even customized to the size of our windows in our former house. It was worth every penny since until now, our renter is still using the same blinds.

You’ll be amazed on how wide is your selection, ranging from venetian blinds, wood blinds, conservatory blinds (for your conservatory room), skylight window blinds, woodweave blinds and many more.

I picked a wood venetian blinds as it matches the design that I want in our master’s bath. Overall, it was worth it.
