Interested on Other Things

My daughter is really interested in collecting old coins just like me and she’s searching in Wikipedia about how coins are being made and why we need to have coins from the government. Gen always has a way of being interested on things. In fact she’s very competitive and unlike other girls who were starting to know about how they can beautify themselves she resist from it. She’s more interested in inter-school contests than having some girly things talk. 

Anyway among her collections she love most the two gold coins that Mom has found for her. I forgot to look at the date but it seems uncommon with the rest of her silver coins. Oh well that makes that two coins special to Gen. I told her to keep it for investment, who knows when she grows old it may reach great value. Funny kid she looks like me and she acts like me when I was still a kid. Even my friends told me so.

I Should Move a Lot

Why is it that when women gains weight it’s their belly that suffers most. I have observed this to most of my women friends in my kids’ school just like me when I gain weight. I assumed that it can be due to prolonged sitting because my Auntie told me that I should stand up once in a while for me not to accumulate fat on my belly. Not knowing if it’s true I try to get out of my working chair once in a while to avoid what my Auntie was telling me. Anyway I think proper diet, regular exercise and frequent body movements can help my belly fat burning to shed off excess pounds. I came to know also that it has something to do with body’s metabolism and because I’m not getting any younger each day I should move a lot.

A Chance to Good Opportunities

Giving your kids a chance to have a quality education in their lives is one noble responsibility of parents. Sending them to good schools even if it would mean tight budget allocation can be compared to putting your hard-earned money to a profitable investment. When you let your kids study on good schools you’re giving them a good opportunity of landing a good job after college. Just like when you let your money be invested to a tangible kind like gold coins which will also give you an assurance of high returns on capital. Both instances are good investment and proper planning and thinking should be made to arrive at a good decision.

Cars are Such a Blessing

It's incredible how the world is changing for people who used to live in poverty. People who only ten years or so ago would have had no choice but to walk or hitch a ride everywhere they wanted to go are now able to afford their very own cars. This is an amazing bit of turnaround, wouldn't you say? A car gives people a type of freedom that they would never be able to enjoy otherwise. In your car, you can travel wherever you please, whenever you please. And that is a type of wealth that just cannot be measured in dollars (or any other type of currency).

Of course, there are new responsibilities you have to take on when you get a car. It isn't all fun, fancy and free. Well, it's not supposed to be. Some people try to ruin everything by just being nuts with their cars. And everybody has to keep their eyes scanning all around all the time, just in case. But the irresponsible people shouldn't spoil all the fun the rest of us can be having, right? We can all enjoy these big, beautiful roads together in peace and all that lovely stuff.

We just have to keep a few things in mind all the time. Obviously, you need to make sure your seat belts, auto insurance, tires and brakes are all in good working order. If any of those things fail, you could be in for a world of hurt. You could almost debate which of those four is the most important of the group. Seat belts keep you in the car, which is usually best in an accident. Insurance lets you get your car (and anybody else's property you may damage) repaired without having to go bankrupt. The tires and the brakes are good ways to stay out of getting in an accident.

Tired from Competition

Tired and sleepy, that’s what I’m feeling at this moment because I accompanied Gen in her EPP competition in Karangalan District. The skills joined by their school are flower arrangement, fabric painting and basic encoding skills. Gen was the representative for basic encoding skills and she won the first place so we went shopping and played in Tom’s World before we went home. It’s her first time to make to first place and she was so happy. She’ll represent the school next week for inter-town competition. I’ll make a full story on this and post pictures when I have time.

Internet May Help Your Kids to Earn While They Learn

Do you have kids who are approaching their adulthood in next few years? If your answer is yes, you understand how difficult it is keep your teenagers motivated to study or work. Not only this loss of motivation is a problem, their constant yet genuine demands for money are a cause of worry in this pressing economy. Keeping them stuck to their studies while meeting all of their needs is a problem that can be solved easily with resources available on the Internet.

The range of such resources on the Internet begins with having a good website. This may be a blog or a website about your children’s own hobbies, their schools, part-time work, or even friends. They can learn about the basics of publishing on the Internet in a fun way. Seeing their own material online, they will get motivated to learn more and this will help them in their future careers as well.

The step that can help them earn from their websites is monetizing their websites. At present, several methods exist that allow you to monetize your website. Your teenager children can easily know about the earning potential of displaying ads on their website, signing up for affiliate programs, and ways to market their website on the Internet. The best thing about using affiliate programs and ads to monetize a website is that your children can learn several ways to expose their own content to a global audience and get a fresh feel of earning money without sitting right at their homes.

What more precious can be for a parent than seeing his/her kids making their way to a definitive career, learning about business, and earning money, all at the same time! In addition, these opportunities have opened doors for you to keep your family expenditures within your budget each month while the extra expenditure is being automatically taken care of.

Considering Different Online Colleges

Are you dreaming of a different job or a new career, but you're too busy to go back to school? If you can't see yourself in the classroom but you want to learn and grow, you might want to look at a few different online colleges. They aren't all the same, so it's important you make sure you're getting the right one for you. First, you need to know if it's properly accredited. Some companies will set up an online "college," and they'll create an accrediting body to say the college is accredited.

It's vital that a legitimate, recognized accrediting organization is the force behind the accreditation of the school you choose. Otherwise, your degree won't mean as much to an employer who checks out the online college from which you got your degree. You also usually won't be able to transfer credits from your school to another one if you want to go on for more education at a later date. Don't let that happen to you. It can be embarrassing and frustrating, and it can also seem like an awful waste of money and time.

You deserve better, and you can definitely get better if you make sure that the college you choose is a good one. Also, take a look at the tuition and all the other factors for the schools you're considering. Make sure you're picking the right one for your needs. You can apply for grants, loans, and scholarships to make things easier financially. While the cost matters, it shouldn't be the deciding factor when it comes time to select the school and program you want to pursue. Look through the online colleges out there and pick the one that has what you want to study at a reasonable price. The rest will come naturally.

What's Your Energy Type

You Are an Early Riser

You're the type of person who just gets up early naturally. It's easy for you to succeed in this world.

It's likely that you've been extremely productive before the day has really began. You wake up alert and refreshed.

You tend to lose steam in the late afternoon and evening. Give yourself that time to rest.
Even though you get a quick start, you don't have to charge ahead all day long!

Perfect and right I'm an early riser, I wake up at 4am in the morning to prepare breakfast and  pack lunch for my kids and hubby.  I always want to start early because I feel very energetic at dawn to early morning. I feel lazy when I wake up late, sometimes it gives me headache so I guess I'm really an early riser.

Understanding Payday Loans

Before heading out and getting payday loans, it’s important to understand what they are and how they work. Payday loans, or cash advance loans, are a short-term, high interest loan that’s used to help give you the cast you need between paychecks.

To get payday loans, a customer, with a photo ID and proof of a job, will walk in an write a post-dated check to the lender. This amount will include the cash amount needed and fees the lender has. Like with any type of loan, you’ll receive documentation of the loan that states the terms, interest rates, late fees, etc.

If there isn’t a location near you, online payday loans are another great option. Usually a customer would just fill out an online application form, similar to what you’d fill out at the location, and faxes the application over once it’s completed. The lender will direct-deposit the amount into your checking account, with the finance charge being electronically withdrawn when you receive your next paycheck. It’s easier and more convenient for most people who work all day and can’t make it to a location or just don’t have one nearby.

It’s important to know that any outstanding balances will get hit will late charges and additional interest fees. Payday loans work just like any other loan you would get from a bank. Getting really behind on your payments can cause the total in late fees to cost more than the actual amount you requested. It’s important to stay on top of your payments for your payday loans.

Payday loans are great for those in need of some extra cash to pay off any unexpected bills or emergencies. In this rough economy, sometimes we just need a little bit of help to get the bills paid on time. Payday loans are here to help with those unexpected bumps in your life.

A Healthy Way of Dieting

I have lots of reasons to shed my excess pounds and those don’t limit to being slimmer only but to be healthy as well. Planning a good diet plan for me is more of a necessity than a desire because gaining pounds beyond maximum limits may cause certain sickness that will pose more problems for the health. I learned that a year after I resigned from my corporate job I’ve gained 20 pounds. Well I felt bad about it because I’m a very health-conscious person, it’s just that busy schedule and too much work made me neglect my healthy meal plan and daily 3km walking exercise.

I’ve started again and this time I’m determined because I know that I should really discipline myself. My friend told me that keeping to my healthy meal plan would do me good especially if I also keep up my regular exercise and walking regimen. She also suggested that I could try alli because it can help my weight loss by blocking 25% of the fat that I eat from being absorbed. It’s a kind of support for my dieting and it blends well with my healthy meals. In fact it’s suggested that it will be of great help if I follow my meal plans before taking alli because it works best if body has less fat consumed. Why? Because alli blocks 25% only and the rest that isn’t absorbed goes to your bowels thus it greatly affects the frequency of bowel movement. So sticking to low fat diet will help you to avoid the effects and manage your diet well.

I’m still thinking about it but it really helps to know what alli can do reduce the fat from coming into our bodies. It’s really better to maintain a healthy diet and some good healthy ideas that would help us to be aware that with dieting you don’t have to be deprive of eating but discipline it to eating the right kind of food.

:Looking at the Sky on Friday #95: Sky Over the Mountains

Click the image to enlarge

This is a shot of my SIL at the view from their village.  MIL's house  is overlooking  the famous mountains  of Montalban and it's a spectacular view when the sun shines on the mountain.  It's just a saddening thought that  mountains were never cared for because the trees are few.  It's nice to wake up in the morning with the mountains and sun greeting you.  The room windows of the house are located just right for the nice view.  The physical distance is actually a few meters away.

I love sky watching wherever my cam takes me. It makes me very thankful of God's wonderful creations.  Visit more beautiful sky photos just click on the badge above!
