Home Makeover
My husband is a handyman, a contractor and an inventor. He sometimes get jobs for a kitchen renovation or sometimes even a house makeover. Being in his field of work gives us an advantage in sourcing materials if we need it ourselves. Like we are missing a glass tile in our kitchen counter. He can easily get these from wholesale shops at very good prices.
Weight Problem
I have a niece who’s on the heavy side. She wasn’t like that when she was growing up but one day I was just surprised to see how big she has become. I don’t know what happened to her. She did try to lose weight by working out and dieting but somehow she always failed at it. A friend of mine mentioned once that she used a diet pill called apidexin to help her lose weight, I wonder if this is safe. Have you heard of this pill?
My Skin Regimen
I never had imagined that my face will survive without the help of any wrinkle lotion. It has been a year since I last used Ponds. One of the products in the Philippines that my face already got used to.
Ever since I started to use make up products, Ponds never failed me. Well, I haven’t tried other beauty products in the market because of two reasons. Why? besides from there expensive price, they’re not really tested specifically for Philippine skin. And why gamble on other skin care products if you could have the same effect with as twice as low as the original price .
Walk in the park
I was walking my dog to the park when I saw this huge billboard, it doesn’t have much but it has this big picture of a lady with before and after effect of the anti aging product. The changes in her face is noticeable. We then crossed the street with caution to get to the park.
I sat down on the bench and rested for a few minutes, took a few sips of water then started to walk again. I was surprise, when a familiar voice called my name. It was my best friend who was calling me. I stop and waited for her to catch up. After a few minutes more, she mentioned that she’s craving for pancakes. We ended up eating at the diner near the park.
We had a nice chat, it was a great day!
Spring cleaning
I’m doing some cleaning in my cabinet when I saw clothes that I don’t wear anymore. I decided to bring them to the Salvation Army so I went to the attic to get boxes. I didn’t find any so I went down to the kitchen where my husband is having breakfast. He noticed that I was looking for something, I asked him if he knows where the boxes were. He replied that they are in the garage. After I finish rearranging the mess, I went to the garage to look for the boxes again. They are at the very top of the cabinet which is too high for me.
There were lots of dust and it made me sneeze.The boxes still contained old documents of insurances and some social security disability brochures. I just took them out and placed them in a smaller box and brought the box I needed for the clothes back to the bedroom. I finished just before dinner time, boy did I have lots of clothes to sort!
My New Toy
When I arrived in Canada and got home, the first thing I took out from my luggage was the D-link wireless router and my new laptop . I bought the router awhile ago, I will try to make it work here in Canada. My son already gave up in making this router work back home.
I connected the router to the modem and then took out the laptop that I bought from my daughter. I showed the laptop to my husband but he wasn’t paying attention much, he was busy looking for the Pineapple wine that I brought for him from Palawan. I turned on the laptop and amazingly it was able to pick up the wireless signal.
I checked my mail and I mistakenly clicked this link http://www.consumerpricewatch.org, it’s a pretty interesting site that provides you with information on the best beauty products available in the market today. I didn’t read too much though because I was already getting sleepy.
Sleepless Night
After a few weeks traveling in Asia, I need to adjust with the timezone again. It’s 3 in the morning here and still I can’t sleep.I tried counting sheeps already in my head but it doesn’t work. My pimples are screaming already Go to sleep!! As much as I want to prick them out right now I’m afraid it might turn into a scar.
My beauty is all naturally maintained. I don’t usually use acne scar removal here in Canada, if it is not necessary. I once tried using an astringent and it peeled my face literally. I wasn’t able to go out for a week that time fearing that the sun might hurt my face. It’s one of my terrifying weeks in maintaining my beauty.
Well right now it’s almost 4 in the morning. I will try to get some sleep again.
Online Learning
The last time I went to college was back in 2008. Yes! I’m an adventurous woman that’s right! I tried enrolling to a nursing school. Well things didn’t quite go well that time. I’m not admitting that I’m getting old, lets just say that I’m getting sensitive to dust, pollutions and all the traveling in the middle of the afternoon.
I totally agree with Sharon (My idol in the Philippines) about taking an online degree. When she showed up advertisement, I immediately went online to google online universities , luckily I found one but it needs a personal appearance first so you can be enrolled at their university. Too bad for me, I got so little time to do that, maybe when I’m done with my chores I’ll check it out again. Who knows I might be your next classmate chatting with you online.
Helping my daughter declutter
My daughter has difficulty parting with things. So on my vacation there I did help her out a bit on decluttering. I was amazed on how much stuff she keeps even if she would never use it again. She even has an epson receipt printer she got from somebody, she said she might use it in the future. I don’t think she will ever have the need for it so I just threw it away. She’s alright with it 
Would You Invest in Real Estate Right Now?
While the news and media has done a good job of scaring plenty people away from investing in any sort of real estate lately, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel that isn’t so widely talked about. I’ve been working with several real estate investors lately and doing a lot of reading. We’re not talking about simply going to NBC or CNN, but digging deeper into not-so-well-known blogs and interviews.
It seems that there are many out there who are more than willing to put their money where their mouth is. They are investing in homes, as well as commercial real estate. Of course, it’s only natural that some areas are expected to make a come back much easier and much sooner than other areas. Also, these are professionals who have seen down times before and understand that everything is bound to bounce back sooner or later.
But what about your average Joe like you and me? Would you invest into a home or commercial real estate right now with the confidence that it’ll eventually be a good investment? Or, would you say noway to investing into real estate with the way things are right now?
