I hate being cooped up in a work station… interacting with the same people, commuting to work, catered unpalatable lunches, and all those routines. That’s why I decided to just work for part time at my current job and explore a home based business.

With creativity and dedication, there are a lot of things you can do at your own pace at home while earning money. An example of this is handcrafted fashion jewelry, baking by request, or even freelance writing. So why go through the ordeal of your work routine when you can earn while staying at home?

I love beach weddings. I recently went to a beach resort where they have a private spot for beach weddings (see picture). It was really romantic.

I know a lot of people are also dreaming of outdoor weddings, and with picturesque spots like the one I saw, I now know why. I think I’ll have a beach wedding as well. Since I live in the tropics, might as well make the most out of the climate. I can just imagine my friends and family in wedding shirts and dresses when it’s my turn to say, “I do”…definitely comfortable and sexy. ^_^

Before my friend Jehan left for Canada three years ago (she came here for a visit), she gave me one of her makeup mirrors that I have been admiring from afar. It’s one of those folding personal travel mirrors with a blue and silver color.

I still have it and bring it with me sporadically. Not merely for vanity’s purposes though, for sentimental reasons as well. I wonder when I’ll get to see her again…

We have a family band composed of four girls. Dad has been successful in motivating his daughters at their young age to have the musical instruments instead of dolls as their toys and playmates. Though the all female band is not performing to earn for a living, the girls are usually invited in family and school gatherings. There are also occasions they perform to raise funds for charitable institutions. Now, Dad had decided to replace the old and worn out musical instruments of the girls.

For the all-female band, Dad had already selected what to buy musical instruments online. These are the musical instruments in Dad’s list: Casio WK 3300 76 Keyboard; Epiphone Les Paul 100 Electric Guitar; Ion le d01 Electronic Drums packed with percussion power; and Pioneer MP3 Player. These musical instruments have the best price and known for quality. The all-female band is very excited to have the new set of band instruments delivered.

Girls, if you’re feeling stressed from work, why don’t you take a few minutes off, relax, and try one of the girl quizzes in Quibblo, or even create your own!

You can even share those quizzes you create with your friends and if you have more time, create a survey or take a personality quiz. Engaging in one of those activities will definitely help you ease off and clear your mind before going back to being absorbed in your routine jobs.

Ruth, my youngest sister who’s now in her senior year in high school, is planning to take up Civil Engineering in our state university. In preparation for her course, I plan on buying a graphic calculator as a graduation gift.

I’m not really that knowledgeable when it comes to calculators so I asked my friend Carmela, who’s a Civil Engineer, to recommend a good calculator. She said that those calculators by Texas Instruments are pretty good though somewhat expensive. Still, if it’s for someone who’s going to have a lot of Math in her course, she told me that the calculator is worth the price.

Carmela helped me search online and we ended up settling for the TI-83 Plus Graphic Calculator. It is programmable and its graphic display is 16-character x 8-lines. What I love about this is that the calculator is that it is not your conventional calculator. With its 160K user available Flash ROM, you can actually customize TI-83 Plus in a way that you can download and add software programs in it similar to software applications you download to a computer. Pretty amazing, huh? ^_^

While walking on my way home, I noticed several stores have already put up their greeneries and Christmas trees, which reminds me… the Holiday Season is only a few months away, and I have not started saving up yet!!!

My cousin Abigail requested for the “Sex and the City: The Complete Series DVD Gift Set” from the HBO Store. My parents, on the other hand, requested for the Nautilus NE3000 Elliptical Crosstrainer from BigFitness. Oh, and there’s still gifts for my brother and younger sisters that I haven’t listed yet. *Faint* How will I save up for them in the next two months?!

Oh well, that’s what discount cards and promo codes are for. I’ll most likely avail of the “Free Heart Rate watch with purchase of select Ellipticals” from CouponChief.com and give the watch to my brother who’s keen on trimming his waistline. Hehehe.

It’s almost snowboarding season! For those planning to buy snowboards, here are some basic snowboard information you should know.

There are three main types of snowboards - Freestyle, Freeride (All Mountain), and Alpine (Carving) Boards. For beginners like me, it is best to go for a Freeride snowboard since its only focus is on enjoying the ride and exploring all there is on a mountain. For experts who want to focus on jumps, tricks, rail slides, halfpipes, and switch riding, Freestyle snowboard is for you. For those into speed and the ultimate carving turn in Snowboarding, you should go for Alpine Snowboards.

Still, before you buy a snowboard, do keep in mind that most of the time, a snowboard is designed for a particular purpose. It will not perform well if you do not use it in the terrain it is intended for.

I was a very unusual kid when it comes to visiting doctors and dentists. Unlike those kids that you have to drag and bribe just to be able to bring them to the hospital or dental clinic, I love checkups. In fact, I’m the one who sometimes beg my mom to bring me to the clinic for a checkup. There’s just this comforting thought inside the clinic that I’m being cared for and my teeth and health are in good hands. Also, those checkups were free because they’re some of the perks of being a military dependent, so why not make the most of it?

Now that I’m older and belong to the work force, I now have to pay for my own checkup, which is a bummer, really. That’s why I decided to avail of a health insurance and a dental plan, a discount dental plan of course, not the traditional dental insurance (which is generally costly and has long waiting periods before you could avail of a dental check up). I just found out about the discount dental plan from DentalPlans.com - a sort of search engine for discounted but quality dental care plans.

I’m still in the process of selecting a dental care plan. From their more than 30 national and regional great money-saving dental plans, I’m tempted to just apply to all of them! Hehehe…

My brother Raymond, is very fond of his Fortuner and loves buying gizmos and gadgets for it. His latest gadget is one of Nuvi’s GPS receivers - the Nuvi 360 Personal Travel Assistant.

I went out of town with him once and though I find it cool that he has a GPS navigator, I got tired of the turn-by-turn voice directions uttering street names after two hours of travel. Still, the fact that it helped us steer clear of traffic and arrive on our destination 30 minutes ahead of schedule makes it a good buy. In fact, I plan to buy a portable Garmin Nuvi 360 as well when my dad hands me down the Lancer.
