Getting home security systems is one of our main to-dos when we build our house. Of course, there’s the usual patrolling guards in the village but you can never be too sure. We love going out of town and wouldn’t want to worry about leaving our precious home. It can even protect us while we’re inside, whether sleeping or eating. You just can never put a price when it comes to protecting your family.
My mother is not one, she’s just too soft hearted to compete. I heard her on the phone talking about the real estate in Indianapolis. Turned out she has a client who decided to invest a property there instead of the original vacation home here in the Philippines. That’s too bad for my mom because she’ll definitely get a huge commission if she bagged that deal. Still, she’s not losing hope because she keeps getting inquiries and I know one of these days, with her patience and dedication, her chance will come. Se doesn’t have to be a shark, just determined.
Was watching a show about loose diamonds last night and all I can think about is how beautiful they are. I want to own a one-carat diamond and when my husband heard this, he said, “I will buy you one”. As if it’s so easy haha. But seriously, I promised myself that I will invest on jewelries and diamonds especially now that I have two daughters who will inherit them.
Overheard the neighbors letting their househelp have it. I’m not one to eavesdrop but the lady of the house was screaming her lungs out and I could not help but hear. Apparently, the poor girl put a kettle on and went out for what was supposed to be a quick stop at the nearby supermarket to get some acne skin products. Now, she happened to bump into a friend and they ended up talking for the better part of an hour. This next part’s fairly obvious. Water in kettle dries up, kettle is scorched, small fire starts on stovetop, neighbor smells smoke and calls security, security breaks into the house and puts out fire, poor girl is unable to explain burn marks on expensive stove.
It’s the end of the year again. If there’s one thing that’s always constant, it will be my email receiving offers for free life insurance quotes. I’d be happy to take them all up on their offers if only I wasn’t still paying for my insurance policy. Maybe next year when baby #2 comes, we might need another set with him/her as the beneficiary. Plus I’ll only have a few years left to pay for the first one so the total of the premiums will significantly lower. If you still don’t have one though, I suggest checking out any life insurance companies on the web. It’s better to be prepared for the unknown especially if you’re a parent or have someone depending on you.
My mother-in-law is thinking of investing on a steam cleaner. Ever since she saw this show about environmental friendly appliances, it’s all she can think about. I checked the site she mentioned (as she still doesn’t know how to surf the web) and found the steam cleaners she was talking about. This product is supposed to replace the harsh chemicals that we used to clean our house. By using a little water and little electricity, you can clean your whole house without resorting to harmful cleansers. Plus the best of all, cleaning with vapor can help stop colds and flus. Now if that’s true, I’m going to give my mother-in-law my thumbs up so she can get one for the house.
I was supposed to be done with my Christmas list but something just kept being added every week. Just now, I found out that we’re attending two baptism parties so I’ll have to buy more presents. In addition to Christmas gifts, I need to buy some stuff for the house as well. There’s the computer table that I’ve been eyeing for so long, air filters for the two rooms, new pots and pans to replace the burnt ones and curtains and bed sheets if budget still permits. It’s going to be a new year after all so time to replace old items especially if bed bugs and mites have been living on them for years.
If there’s one thing my husband would love, it’s this box of 10 Davidoff cigars. He doesn’t really smoke one all the time but whenever we have parties, he and our guy friends enjoy having one. Plus ever since I met him, he always mentions that real men always have stocks of good cigar in their houses. It’s a bit pricey though so I’m saving this up either for his birthday or Christmas.
I’m checking out auto insurance quotes for our renewal next year. It’s going to be our last year but I am looking for something a little cheaper.
Need to have another garage sale for my daughter’s old clothes and toys. We might throw in some old appliances as we need to make space for the new baby.
Start saving up for hospital bills and of course, shopping for the baby!
Figure out what we can do to our room to make it bigger. My husband wants to renovate and expand but I’m thinking we can utilize the other room, not as a nursery but a playroom for my daughter so we can move all her stuff there.
