Why wait when you can have it now?

Achieving a college degree is not easy for me. I have thought of saving for that purpose right after I graduate high school; however, the salary I was earning was not quite enough if I would have to pursue it. Thankfully, an Aunt offered me education for at least 2 years in computer technology, it is just a vocational course but it made a lot of difference. It was through it that I became much independent. Now, I am thinking of going in for a deeper course, at least something that would benefit my entire family. However, I am still waiting for that particular time. I have my own family now and it would be hard on my hubby to send both my daughter and me to school. I focus on helping my brothers and sisters get their degree before me. At least it would be easy both on my parents.

I am actually a bit skeptical of going in for a student loan. There are companies offering student loans, one of which is available online, the Premier Student Loans. I just do not know if that is a good thing to do right at this moment, hence recession. We are tight with our finances and I think going home for that purpose would be great.

Festivities...

We have just celebrated the town's big fiesta where my girl able to dance with the school kids. She wasn't part of it but she didn't really understand that it's not for her. She danced just in the center where the kids were dancing too. I've let her enjoyed it, sure the teachers understood how she felt to have seen such a big crowd of kids dancing. I got a few photos and videos and I will let you take a peek on one where she looks best in her Aunt's mask.

Aside from this, we are going to celebrate our own fiesta in honor of St. Francis de Asisi. I'll be looking forward to that next month.This will be after 3 years of being absent. This sure is gonna be big time because my girl hasn't experienced hosting a big crowd who are coming over for a big lunch. Not only that, there would be more nights of dancing and music. She is actually dancing the "nobody" by wonder girls.

always be prepared...

We all love putting things on hold, don’t we? I know most of you would agree with me especially when we feel that there is no need to hurry. There is something we could do that we think necessary than backing up files on our computer. Is there really a need to do that when we own the unit? WRONG! We are not sure when we are safe when browsing the net so we all have to do some back ups aside from our antivirus software. I had had trouble retrieving some of my files when my computer crashed when I tried to add additional web cam, aside from the built in. When it happened, I didn't have choice but reformat it. Anyway, it may not be easy backing up our files, however online backup offered by software manufacturers are available to purchase whenever we need it. That would make things easier. For me, I transfer my photos both to a CD and to my USB that is to make sure that I will not lose those precious moments we have.

Printing on hold!!!

I've got loads of photos that need to be printed so I could send them home,however time doesn't permit me. I own my time by the way, but I couldn't just go out that easy.Being a stay at home Mom makes me lazy, my daughter could as well go out during Sundays,we stay home most days because of the weather. You would not want to walk under the cold rain too. There have been many chance for me, but those instant printing machine don't give me good quality for the price I pay. I think I would have to do that very soon because people back home have been asking for it.

Filters for cleaner air...

It's been a month ago that I last smelled a fresh scent of air conditioners. I like being on an air-conditioned environment while on our holiday because the temperature is so cool that I could just sleep most days. I bet you will agree with me. Being on a humid climate is tiring because the heat makes me drowsy. The dust is too much and I think my daughter would not survive there. Unless of course she will stay in the island (where I grew up) far from pollutants.

Well, I don't think we would need air conditioners here as we need heat. It is amazing that we complain of heat in the Philippines while this country has too much cold. We paid too much for our heating bills. And heat hurts. Our heaters produce dry air and I guess this is why my nose bleeds at times. A friend advised us to get purifiers because we also have a kid. If I fee uneasy with such temperature and for sure she would feel the same too. Have ever wondered if we could just put something like AC filters to filter the heat? I know that's' silly of me. But is there something like that? We are using portable heaters that make the thing worst.

Gaining friends through blogs...

Well, I should not really have to post this. However, my other blog have just received an award from someone that I didn't expect to include me on the list. It came as a complete surprise. It is my 2nd year of blogging and I got many blogs already. Some inactive that I decided to remove while others are solely for a certain network. This just made me think the number of friends that I came across with just because of blogging. I once been inactive, at least 2 months, and lost some because they also decided to disappear and I don't know where they went. They could still be there. It happens when I only got their blog as my contact and maybe like me they decided to remove those as well.

Thanks to those who treated me special. I hope I won't fail you.

Not time for a rackmount just yet...

We are now happy being just the three of us. I can do anything I want to do and I can always just leave something undone without worrying that somebody might be disturbed. The holiday was awesome. I’ve spent time with my family who didn’t mind minding my girl was I was stuck in the city because there wasn’t any boat on duty because of typhoon. I also had time just sitting without having to think of what to cook for dinner as I got cooks that are very attentive. Anyway, one of the things that I am happy having to own the entire space is the issue of me doing my online activities in the living room. I didn’t have to run every now and then whenever my girl is doing something here. I used to do that in our bedroom and that was quite bothering. I have also thought of going in for a new desktop computer just to have this laptop use occasionally. I love using the desktop though it would require more wires to be put aside properly because of this inquisitive toddler.

Well, a friend offered a hand. He assembles CPU and it is all up to me which parts I want to put in e.g. motherboard, memory capacity and all. However, I know that we would not need a rackmount for the computer this time because my daughter is very active with her computer activities too. I just need time to have this done. I guess our television does need mounting on the wall whenever we are ready to welcome another baby. We could not afford to see this big screen damaged nor the weight to fall on a crawling baby, heaven forbids!

Flying high

My parents, unfortunately haven't experienced flying in an airplane.It is not easy just imagining as I was there. I also had my dream when I was a kid.I had my first fly when I was already 17.That was just an hour flight from Cebu to Manila, but it meant everything already. I thought I would only experience a short plane ride, I have never thought I could fly at least 18 hours on air.

Flying high would be my dream for my parents to experience. I do not know when that would happen, hopefully by God's guidance,grace and blessings, I could do that soon.Not only them but my siblings as well. You know I am not living just for myself alone.Now that I have my own family, I know it would not be easy, luckily hubby is here with full support. I am thankful GOD gave him to me.
