Switch to a better life insurance deal

Is your life insurance due for renewal? Are you paying too much and want to change your insurance provider? Well, it is not worth paying too much when you can get cheaper life insurance quote elsewhere that offers equal or more benefits than what your provider offers.

That is what we did with our car insurance. Our provider gave us 20% discount for our no claims bonus. But still the cost was too much for us. We decided to shop around and we are glad that we found one that took our no claims bonus a big consideration. We paid 30% lesser than what we would have been paying if we didn’t switch.


Butter on toast

Are you a toast person? I mean if you like toasted bread for breakfast, snacks or anytime you like?

We either have toast or cereals for breakfast. Oftentimes, we have sauges, eggs or bacon as perfect compliments for toast. But I do like butter on my toast. That maybe the reason why I am not losing weight at all. If I am at home in the island of Philippines, I would never care for a toast for we always have a full meal for breakfast. You could just imagine having a plateful of rice with a dish each morning. We may also have a cup of chocolate drink with bread before that. I noticed however, that I don’t gained weight as much as I am gaining here. The activities there and heat do contribute to that. I may limit my intake in this side but I could not do as much as I want.


Fill up your boost!

Boost up may just be the right word; I am trying to look for something that goes up with filling up your energy. You sure feel the same way like I do when there is so much to do. Juggling up chores with baby sitting and blogging is hard work! But I am used to doing all these. It is just that I was given extra jobs that were not in the plan. What could I do but say YES.

Yes I can! That’s what I am trying to wear anywhere I go regardless of whom I am talking to. I need my HGH level up most of the time. Our little toddler is so active, plus a big girl who is undergoing a difficult stage, being grumpy and jealous most of the time. I need hgh pills, probably because it is the fastest way to boost up my energy level. To do all the housework, babysitting, blogging and a good wife wear me off. I am only in my late 20′s but I couldn’t find time to pamper myself. I look older than my age.


Park no more!

I don’t know when we are going to see the sunshine again. It’s been a good long month that we’ve been stuck indoors on a lazy Saturday because the weather is cruel. It is not cold,however stormy clouds scare us to go out and it rains most of the time. We’re even glad that though the weather is like this, we still managed to go to school. That means the little girls are not all bored.

We made the right decision to enjoy those sunny and warm days by spending most of them in the park around the city. We love being in the play ground. They are not only safe,but you could as well enjoy having a chat with other mothers who have they same visions. What else can we do in this part of the world but enjoy whenever the sun is out. We got no one to chat with face to face when at home. It is completely opposite to what we love doing back home. At least my daughter experienced that when we visited home. She loves being in the company of her cousins. The little boys and girls that are hard to find here. They are up playing already even when it is only 6AM. Aah, the joy of being in your homeland cannot be bargained with anything. We are looking forward to visiting home again.


Water pumps

We’re living in an apartment where water supply is low. Without water pump it would be impossible to use showers as the flow isn’t all that powerful. On the other hand, using water pump is disturbing. It didn’t bother us a few days after we moved in here. I guess the pumps lifetime wasn’t guaranteed to last longer than 5 years so it needed a changed. I bet the man hired to do the job bought a cheaper alternative. It was the deal between the landlord and the technician so whatever was done there is out of our business. But we’re the one that suffer from the disturbing noise.

If I have a choice, I would get something which is energy efficient, of good quality like goulds pumps and a less noisy. We’ve used electric showers before then, but the current one is preferable. We got to heat up the water once a day; it is just the pump that bothers us.

Water pump makes life back home a lot easier too. It takes me time to fill a 5 galloon container at least 6 years ago. I would have to pull up the bucket from the well many times before I could fill anything, but since we bought a water pump that the family and neighbors are now using, life is completely different. It also makes some of them lazier than ever. Gone were the days I suppose.


Walking ‘sore’ feet!

Walking a long distance proves to be a big challenge. But with right gear, it shouldn’t be problem.

I walk to school to drop my little girl most of the time. We make sure that we leave the house at least 30-35 minutes before time, we take at least 20-30 minutes walk there,less when the weather is good.However,with wrong shoes on, I always find it painful to continue walking. I tried to avoid driving to school as much as I can. It doesn’t only save fuel but helps me be active at least an hour a day. I feel heavy because of just sitting most of the days. Walking to school is the only opportunities to get active,otherwise there is not much to do but sit down and eat. I bought a gym shoe with walking in mind. It sure does help me a lot. Only that sometimes I don’t want the shoe to be over-used or worn out immediately.It is also easier to just get into shoes that don’t involve tying the shoe lace. That always happen especially when we are running out of time.


Insurance for the disabled

There are important things in life that we need to consider. That includes getting life insurance which will help us cover any unexpected health expenses in the future. The thing is no one in the household (both here and home) as it is not necessary at this stage, in our point of view. We could hardly put something away because of financial hardship, besides; some insurance is only valid for a specified period of time.

The scary thing is when disabled. Every employee in this country is required to pay taxes which could help them claim future benefit, provided of course when necessary contributions are met. As with private insurer, claiming for disability insurance should not be hard. After all, it is your money that you kept for your own sake.


Mobile phones got even mobile

The newer version of phones come, the more sophisticated they are.

Talk about charging phones just anywhere you could imagine. Taking heavy chargers with you and worrying where to charge your phones are the things of the past. These days, you could charge your phones in the car or even through your computer. We stopped getting up whenever we need to charge our phone because we are pretty occupied online. With it at least we consume less energy too. We also do not have to worry where we last put our chargers from the last time we charged it. I am so loving it.


Flooded motorhome,thank you insurance!

Early this year, many people had had problems with broken water pipes,that led to some households without water supply.It was because of snow that stayed for a while. I didn’t know that as it was my first experience.We’re lucky not to have been affected by it. However, what was more shocking was the damage it caused to our friends’ holiday home.The entire floor was flooded. If it weren’t the because of the motorhome insurance they got from the local insurance provider,their years of hardwork to invest on it will just be gone to waste.

We are actually hoping for a week’s stay in there one of these days.


Back to Life

We are tea & coffee drinker. And most of the times, our utensils are stained, tea after tea. You could not imagine how much stained our teeth have if we soaked them in tea, day after day. I could have 4 tea cups a day.

I always start my day with a cup of tea or coffee. I just couldn’t live without a cup of heat. Most frequent on winter mornings, especially. Good thing that we don’t have too much sugar in our diet, but caffeine. We would really like to go for the decaffeinated option, but the taste is different for me. Well, I guess I am used to it. I wasn’t drinking these while back home. Of course, due to the heat that we have, no one would bother to ask for a cup of tea/coffee for breakfast or snacks. Instead everyone would choose cola. An ice cold COLA.

Just this afternoon, while my husband is looking after the utensils and cups, he exclaimed, “they are back to life, good as new!” That’s because he is using HOT water with bleach that is safe for them. I usually do that and since because I am pretty occupied here, he opts to do the dishes. How happy I am that they look absolutely sparkling clean.
