So Into It.

My brother is so addicted to playing poker lately with his friends. One time he told me he’s dream is to visit Las Vegas to experience how is it like to play in one of the prestigious casinos there. He says he feels lucky and he’ll win big. Well, I just told him to keep on dreaming..he doesn’t even have the big moolah yet to bring himself to the gambling destination of the world. LOL!

Seriously, I told him that he need not go to Las Vegas. There are various online casinos on the web that he can play at without spending for an airfare ticket bound to Nevada. It seems I'm an angel to him because just days after, he was thanking me for introducing this online thingie to him. Now you would find him spending several hours playing in front of his laptop, so engrossed into it that he wouldn’t notice that it’s even meal time or sleeping time already. Aside from poker, his favorite games include blackjack, backgammon and online slots. Recently, he discovered a site, OnlineGambling.eu, which provides online casino reviews about the best online casinos in the industry. The site is actually designed to help players choose from among thousands of world casinos, online casinos and online sports betting station for online gambling enabling them to review and compare various factors such as game experience, trust score and bonuses before they select the casino to play. The online casino's ratings are also displayed. Comprehensive and full reviews of each site are likewise provided. Now truly, this site will help you decide on which online casino to join for the fullest excitement and ultimate gaming experience.

Truly, OnlineGambling.eu is a one stop shop and reference online site for online gamblers worldwide. If you are new to online gambling or a veteran who wants to further strategic skills, this site is a must-bookmark one.

Ready for Tagaytay

The pre-school that my in-laws own are having their annual educational trip on Thursday. The husband as well as my SIL's husband have filed their leaves off from work so the whole family can join the school kids. We've already planned out the picnic foods we'll be bringing and we're all set for our Tagaytay getaway. Unfortunately, MIL, at the last minute backed out due to health concerns. She had gone retinal detachment a few months ago and she's refrained from engaging with tiring activities and too much sunlight. We thought of borrowing/renting an aunt's RV so that MIL can still go with us and the trip will be relaxing for her but the rv financing processing talks is still ongoing so they can't lend it to us. Anyway, I guess, it's much better if she'll just rest here at home.

Clever and Funny.

Check out this commercial:



I bet you had a nice laugh too after watching and perhaps thought about what the scene has to do with insurance. It just means that if things go wrong (no matter how bad it is), an insurance-whether it be a life, health, auto, house..is always just a call away and it'll be you life saver. Very clever and unique commercial huh? I guess this got you asking an auto insurance quote from your agent. You don't want jumping on the trampoline with all those needles pricked onto your body, do you?

Some More Freebie Finds

My feed reader is so full with bookmarked digiscrapping freebie finds so to declutter it, I'm doing a massive sharing today.

Sunday Freebie Finds

So how's your Sunday been so far? Mine's just the greatest. I have the whole day today spending some quality time with the family. Even though running after a very robust toddler can be very tiring, I am enjoying each and every moment that he giggles and shrieks while running after him. It actually makes a great work out session, too. Even better than spending a few routines on the ellipticals.

So on to digiscrapping..here are a few of the recent freebie finds I've bookmarked. As usual, just click on the image to get to their respective download pages. Don't forget to respect their TOUs.

Preparing Early

December is just one and a half month away and before we know it, Christmas will be right in front of our noses. For most in the US, they're readying for the Halloween and Thanksgiving but for us here in the Philippines where we celebrate the longest Christmas, we are starting to feel the festive mood of the season with all the mall sales, countdown to Christmas and even Christmas jingles played on the airwaves.

As for me, I have started shopping already for Christmas gifts to avoid the Christmas shopping madness in malls in the weeks to come. The holiday invitations and cards designs have also been conceptualized so what's left for me to do is just place my order. I just hope that the delivery won't be delayed so I will still have time to ship them all via airmail. You know how the airmail traffic can also be congested during the Holidays.

So are you also feeling the Christmas spirit already?

Wood Burning Stoves.

Household furnishings and appliances are really getting more modern in their usage and design. For most houses, they now use wood burning stoves and other biofuel powered ones to heat the house during the colder season. Usually, they convert their wood burning fireplace to a wood burning stove by using an insert. This setup produces less smoke and require lesser wood thus, it's more efficient than the traditional ones. For more information about the latest fireplaces, fires and stoves offered at the lowest prices, check out firesgalore.co.uk.

An MBA degree

Education is one thing that i really value in life. It is something that no one can ever take away from me. When motherhood became my top priority in life, I decided to put set aside my goal of having an MBA degree. I became focused with my baby who is now a certified toddler. And since time is something that I have now, I am thinking of looking for a school mba to fulfill my dream of having the degree. And the best part of fulfilling it is by studying in an online university. This kind of technological innovation helps a lot of people like moms who wants to get a degree but don't have time of going to a school because of mommy duties. Now, I get to be with my son as I strive to pursue my MBA degree. Now I truly believe that there's a way for everything , you just need to focus and manage the time that you have.

Birthday Gift.

My Dad will be celebrating his 63rd birthday in a couple of weeks so before I run out of time, I should start planning what my family will be gifting him this year. He is based and working abroad and it's been a while since he came home for vacation. Actually, he should be retiring now but he's such a workaholic man that he doesn't want to come home yet for good. To reward his hard work and for him to relax over the holidays, I think the best gift we could give him now is a Travel coupon code. I'm checking out now OneTravel and their $22 off OneTravel coupon deals are simply irresistible and very timely for the Thanksgiving Holiday. I just hope that he can arrange and file his leave schedule soon so I can arrange the booking right away.

Investing in Precious Metals

I took up a business investment subject in college in completion for my Commerce bachelor's degree but to tell you frankly, I've totally forgotten about how the stock market, which was the concentration of our subject, goes, its ins and outs and even the basics. This is because I didn't pursue that field after graduation and landed instead in the world of banking then consequently Accounting and Purchasing. With the world financial status, I've been hearing from the financial experts that despite the ailing status of the economy, there are still plenty of wise and safe investments in the commodity market that people can take on. It may be made on any of the following: reinsurance markets, stock markets, bond markets and currency markets.

It is in this light that makes me want to revisit and reconsider into venturing into such type of business. We're saving up for our house project but the husband and I believe that we can work out investing while saving side by side. There may be risks involved but that's the way business is. On another note, this investment we'd be making will eventually return in greater profits and returns, provided, careful strategies are implemented.

The stock market has its own series of plummeting pattern in the recent months so we're quiet adamant about it. One article caught my attention a few weeks ago and it was about the advantages of investing in precious metals given with the current world recession status. Experts say that this time in fact is the best time to do so. Actually, buying gold coins may be done anytime as gold never devaluates over time and can withstand whatever the situation is: may it be economic, political, social or currency-based conflicts like investment market declines, currency failure, inflation, etc. This morning, I chanced upon the site of Monex and I have learned further about gold and other precious metals investment. Monex has been expertly reaching out to investors and hobbyists for several decades now and have remained to be one of most trusted dealers worldwide. Apart from their very helpful site, which by the way is so easy to browse and peruse, they have account executives that can be made exclusively available for one to get the best advice, tip and customer service in handling precious metals investment. I'm really in the brink of trying this at this very instant but let's see as I'll have a final discussion with the husband first.
