Dreaming of Making It Big

admin — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:12:58 +0000

Are you one musician who aspires to make it big? Dream on. Harnessing your talent and staying focused on being the best could take you far. Of course, choosing for a good quality musical instrument is important both when you are starting and as you go on with your career.

If you are a guitarist and is multi-talented enough to play music of different genre, it would be challenging to settle for one instrument only, since you could end up buying different guitars. Well, any known musician always have at least more than one instrument but if, for starters, you only have a budget for one, you could choose Ibanez guitars. Its users are very happy with how they can play R and B, country, rock, with just one instrument. You could, too!

Not All Yoyos Are The Same

Every kid is fascinated with a yoyo and how it is played. It seems that the ability to successfully let down and pull up the yoyo right after gives enough elation for a day’s dosage. A kid even smaller than the length of the string will even go up and stand on a chair just to be able to play.

Adults, on the other hand, go on with different tricks and even join contests to compete with other yoyo enthusiasts. The ordinary yoyo is no longer enough. It has to be one of those great ones like duncan yoyos to be able to execute the tricks a lot better.

The Pains of Move Outs

Moving out could prove to be very stressful. Packing up and unpacking plus dealing with separation anxiety is among the challenges you will have to face when you decide to transfer to another place or city. We had our move out a few months back, and it was not easy. It was a lonely experience, at the same time part of us were excited about the new things in store for us in our new city.

Since we hired trucking services for our stuff, we did not have difficulty in handling them ourselves, not like we rode on a truck with a trailer hitch. So by now our family is well adjusted where we are. But I still don’t know if there would be another move out in the near future. I hope not.

Handy Me

Since I am naturally techie, I am naturally handy, too. You can start calling me “Handy Ruby”- haha! Sometimes it’s funny how people have stereotypes: like women should cook meals and men should fix lights, do carpentry and other things. But it can be the other way around in our household. But what’s wrong with that? I think that it’s wrong if you put people in boxes, making them do what they are supposed to do for the sake of the society’s norm, right?

I have not tried fixing cars, though. Not yet, at least. Maybe I would not be so bad at it… but that would take time since I have to familiarize vehicle parts and what they do. At least I know what atv winches are. Not bad for starters, eh?

Want a Life Restart

It’s been awhile since I have been searching for houses for rent online. I am feeling so down lately that I wanted to move out from our house and start my life somewhere else. I want to restart my life from scratch again.

As I search online, I noticed that there are a lot of manufactured homes being offered. All you have to do is pay and move-in. Well, aside from the papers that you need to accomplish, houses these days are easy to have if you just have money.

If I were to choose, I would want our own house. The problem is, I am not yet capable of owning one! Hopefully soon.

Regular Job Again?

admin — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 11:18:15 +0000

Been jobless for 3 years now, though I am enjoying the life of a stay at home mom, I still miss the social gatherings and yearly bonuses from a regular job, aside from that, getting the occasional perks given to us for a job well done.

Anyway, I have been thinking of going back to work. I have seen a lot of Quality Coordinator Jobs available but the problem is the time. I don’t like working late at night. Though I am doing it currently with my extra income job online but at least I am at home with my kids. A regular job at night away from home looks tiring and bored.

If I find a job that pays right and even has a great working or flexible time, I might consider but it not, I might as well be contented with what I have now for the meantime.

Early Halloween

admin — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 15:41:50 +0000

Oh my! It seems only like yesterday when I asked my blogger-friends if we can go meet up at the mall and have fun at their Halloween party and now, I am already seeing Halloween decorations at the mall! Gee…I don’t understand. Where did my time go? I don’t remember keeping some in my closet for future use. Hehe

But seriously, I have not noticed how time passed because honestly, we have not experienced a really straight summer because it kept raining. Before I knew it, it was school opening time again. With the realities around me seeming like a blur, September is coming and in two months, Halloween will be here.

It is no wonder that I am already seeing Halloween costumes already filling up the toy stores in department stores. Isn’t it too much of a hard sell for this season?

My Thoughts on Moving and Insurance

admin — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 04:02:06 +0000

Have I told you that we’re contemplating on moving again? No, moving is not a hobby for us. It just seems as though the situation would call for it. There are no concrete plans as of yet. However, we are planning on moving to the other side of the country, the land of promise for most people who live in the provinces.

Personally, I think the standard of living is way better there. I am assuming that even the standard of education is. Of course, it goes without saying that once you move to the real “heart” of the metro, the cost of living will shoot up as well. But that’s one hurdle we have to face as a family in case we do decide to move.

This reminds me that I should be looking for a good insurance company, something like Wholesaleinsurance.net. If all plans push through, the distance we would be traveling is no joke so I need to make sure the whole family is properly covered just in case.

Roadside Assistance Plan

admin — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:43:59 +0000

I just wonder if there is such a thing as a roadside assistance plan here in the Philippines. In US movies, I always see people come to help when they get stranded. They just call some people and they come to help them out with their car problems. There are many companies like this in the US but in Philippines I haven’t encountered.

Anyway, probably I haven’t seen or encountered one because for starters, I don’t have a car of my own! Maybe some of my friends with cars would know. LOL!!!

Family Memories

If you are already a mom, even those who are not that creative suddenly find themselves engaging in the art of making a scrapbook for the family. Suddenly, kids and their antics become interesting and you take photos of their every possible activity so that you can include them in your thematic scrapbook.

Some have taken their scrapbooking to another level with digital art. They just upload their photos on those ready templates online and voila! They can easily print out these pages have nice scrapbook pages in a jiffy. Most of these sites are free and are really convenient to use.
