home owner's meeting

Image
We are looking forward to attend to the first home owners meeting that's going to happen this Saturday. In our more than two years of staying here in this low cost housing, we will finally have a home owner's meeting. We don't know the agenda, though. Maybe it has something to do with our list of complaints. Or maybe it has something to do with handling over the responsibilities from the developer to the homeowners. Maybe we get to elect officers. A lot of maybe's because the subject was just a "general meeting" for the homeowners. Hopefully, it's now time to meet our rich neighbors and shake hands with them, eh? Hmmm, I think I am not looking forward to it, anymore. :-) *shy mode*

a thought on insurance

We've always known the importance of securing our family's future, especially on the aspect of health and wellness. This is why we never run out of vitamins and supplements at home. Health is even more important to us now that our work at home job does not have the benefit of a health insurance even though it pays better and that we have the luxury of doing both our jobs in the comfort of our home. Yes, when we were once employed outside our home, we had that health benefit and Dipdip was even included in the coverage. Now that we are no longer connected to that company, we no longer have that kind of insurance and it's like everyday we are all wishing and praying we will always be in the best of health. Now, we're saving up for a health insurance. I know that we can scout for a lot of insurance providers here in our country, though. Husband has an insurance that he's been paying since he was still single but it's a retirement insurance, somewhat likened to a p

Music Monday - How Do You Keep The Music Playing?

It's Monday and it's Music Monday time once again. One of my favorite songs is " How Do You Keep The Music Playing? " by James Ingram and Patti Austin. This is a beautiful and meaningful song especially for the couples out there.      Get this widget |      Track details  |         eSnips Social DNA    We also have a home video performance of this song where I sang only at the first part but I don't want to embed it here, only because I was there during the first part. But if you want to view how I messed up the song, you can view it here . :-) How Do You Keep The Music Playing? Lyrics How do you keep the music playing? How do you make it last? How do you keep the song from fading too fast? How do you lose yourself to someone and never lose your way? How do you not run out of new things to say? And since you know we're always changing How can it be the same? And tell me how year after year You're sure your heart won't fall ap

on raising pets - puppies or dogs

Image
After we lost "Finch", a family dog from my side of the family, when he got bitten by a stray dog and was able to witness him dying, my fascination for pets or dogs started to dwindle. However, about a month ago, hubby had been meaning to have some pets around our house because he wants to develop our little daughter's fondness for animals. He thinks it is a good sign that Dipdip has fondness for stuffed animals. We have also noticed that whenever she sees cats or dogs everytime we are at the in-laws' place, she would instantly scream in delight. So now, I think I look forward to a pet in the family. I got inspired a little more when we saw beautiful puppies for sale online. There are also dogs for sale but we'd like to have us a cuddly puppy so we can raise and let them grow into a beautiful and well behaved dog. Last Saturday, when we were heading home from beach day at Lingay Beach Resort, a furry dog caught my attention because it was sitting on the ch

the siblings

We've all grown so much. Me and my siblings. I never thought we'd be living apart but then again when I got married and when these two brothers of mine already got their jobs abroad, it was already hard to keep the four of us together. Right now, brother McAldz is with dad in Medellin, Cebu and my sister has a job in the city. And brother J is in Bahrain still. I wonder when all four of us can have the time to be together with our dad? Even though this wasn't beautifully taken, I guess I'll just have to hold on to this 2006 picture of the four of us being together in the photo.

basement check

What are your reasons for having a basement in the house? Well, we don't have a basement constructed in our house but if you ask me, here are some probable reasons for having a basement: 1) You need some neat place to store some stuffs you won't be needing for a long time. For example, this can be a good place to store some of your belongings, like wedding gifts and some old furniture that don't have any more place in the key parts of the house. 2) For some people, they would make an extra bedroom right on the basement so they can accommodate some of their relatives for a sleepover. 3) Some would also create a basement because they want to have a place to go to if they want to have some peace and quiet to themselves. 4) Sometimes, the basement can also serve as a hideaway wherein one can make a secret passage leading to the basement in case a threat of danger is approaching. If you have reasons for having a basement in the home, you should also consider Waterproof
