play bingo

February 26th, 2010

One of my auntie’s favorite past time is to go to the mall and play bingo.  She would normally spend hours a day there.  I think it’s not about the winning, it’s more on passing the time doing something enjoyable rather than doing nothing at all.  Sometimes she would lose, but there are more instances she’d win.  And when she does win, she would treat all of us to dinner or lunch.  So I really do think that it’s not about the money.  She enjoys the game and the winning part is just a reward.  Recently, I came across free bingo online. I don’t know if she’ll love the concept of this free bingo wherein you do not only win big and exciting prizes but get to meet a lot of interesting people from all over the globe.  Unlike with a regular bingo in the mall, you just play all by yourself without really socializing.  This free bingo is actually more fun and interactive.  They even have a unique bingo card.  Just look below:

bingoYou can interact with other players through its chat room.  There is also this thing called Golden ticket that everyone is aiming to get and win.  Anyway, I would suggest to my aunt and I might join this “community” as well.

on camping

January 28th, 2010

I have never done camping. When I was younger, our school would often hold camping activities on the school grounds. I never attended one. It was just not my thing. I was more musically inclined back then and would often lock myself inside my room for hours listening to my favorite bands. Duran Duran was the band I frequently listened to. I had my walls plastered with posters of them as a group. My favorite was Nick Rhodes. Anyway, going back to camping…I wish I tried it sooner. Now that I’m older, it’s so difficult to find time to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It would be nice to go camping, eat outside, be with the people you love the most, just sitting on those outdoor chairs and talking till the wee hours of the night or morning.  I know it’s never too late for anyone to do anything and everything except perhaps having a baby at 50.  I don’t even know if it’s possible.  Yeah, it’s never too late.  I might just schedule a camping trip on my birthday or in the summer when the weather is perfect for camping.  I’m quite we wouldn’t be rained out.

it’s a lazy day

January 24th, 2010

It’s so nice to just stay home and do nothing. We had plans of going out of town and sitting by the pool all day but we’re all feeling a bit tired and sleepy. My father threw a party last night and we all had chores to do and it was not easy preparing food for 50 guests or more. I got my first headache and itchy throat after two or three months of good health. We must have gone home around 3am and practically slept all morning.

I think I need a new bed. I kept tossing and turning this morning. I was asleep but I also knew that I was half awake. It was just so weird. I need to check some beds for sale this week. I can’t afford not to sleep well. I have so many things to take care of up until my birthday next month. I’m actually very excited about the events coming up next month. My little girl will have her first out-of-town field trip and first public performance. Meanwhile my son, who’s turning 20 this year, now have plans of getting a doctorate degree in Physical Therapy. His mind changes all the time. Anyway, we’ll see what his mind comes up with next month. That’s all for now. Enjoy what’s left of the weekend. I know I’ll sleep through it. =)

cheap flights

January 19th, 2010

It felt great to get back to regular blogging this week after almost a month of haphazard posts. Thanks for waiting out the laziness and the holidays with me!

You may have noticed the lack of posts over the past week. one sizeable change here over the past week.  Anyway, after ten years of no decent vacation, I finally had one last Christmas.  Now it’s time to take things in a fresher direction and perspective.  I think I’ve had enough rest and it’s now back to regular programming.  But the weird thing is I’m now tempted to look at cheap flights online. I want another island vacation. . One that is decidedly more relaxed and longer.  So stay tuned to see if I take another vacation.  I promise to try not to disappoint with a lack of posts again.

Or if I can wait, I want to have another vacation this summer.  But I will be booking for a flight as early as now.  From my experience, booking early would guarantee sure seats.  Not only that, when you book early, you have more choices.

Anyway, I think I deserve another vacation.  I’ve been working hard and a vacation near the ocean is my reward to myself.  I wish the whole family would join me just like last Christmas.

boracay again

January 4th, 2010

We got back from Boracay two weeks ago and we’re already planning our next trip to the island this year.  It was a memorable one for us.  It was the first time after a long, long time that everyone was present for Christmas dinner.  Even my sister who had a misunderstanding with my dad was present for this once in a lifetime event.  But they’ve actually kissed and made up even before the trip.

So offices and businesses were close during the holidays and that included my brother’s car shop.  Yes, he closed his shop to join us.  He rarely gets a vacation.  Having a full time business is more stressful than being employed.  But it has more perks and advantages.  You could potentially earn more if you have a sound business plan.  Anyway, my brother plans to get one of those business credit cards to increase his business’ credit score.  It won’t do anything for his personal credit score but it would definitely build a credit reputation for his business.  And as every businessman knows, a good credit history is crucial in any business.  And I hope this step helps his business grows so he could shoulder all the expenses of our next vacation.  I only wish him success. He has been working hard.

another way to earn

December 20th, 2009

There is another way for us to earn through blogging.  Ebuzz is the latest addition to a number paid to post sites out there.  And what is great about this is sharing your genuine opinions about products and services offered by advertisers.  It literally brings advertisers and bloggers together and both parties get what they want.  Advertisers get buzz for their products while bloggers earn for writing about something they truly want to write about and recommend.  It allows bloggers to earn extra income while developing content for their blogs. It’s a win-win situation for both.
This platform is based on a simple idea that if you like something, you tell your friends and even the world about it.  The only difference is that you earn in the process.  It’s great, right?  If you’re interested, you can register here. It’s already live in the US and you can also start earning by publishing your videos on your blogs.

an addiction

December 20th, 2009

I have an addiction.  It has plagued for far too many years now.  You can’t blame me because I’m a girl.  I can’t help it.  Do you have any idea what it is?  I’m addicted to reading Beauty Articles on the internet and this habit has kept me awake most nights which is not really helpful at all when you want to look fresh and beautiful.  If you’re looking for similar articles, you can find them at a1articles.com but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

the open sea

November 24th, 2009

What would it be like to sail your own boat or yacht?  I can never own a yacht in this lifetime.  I would rather spend it on a villa in Tuscany or a vacation house in Positano.  But with Fractional Sailing, I might just be able to sail without actually owning one.  If you’re interested in sailing, visit WindPath.com for more information.

Resorts Rescued Timeshares Rescued

November 23rd, 2009

boracay

I love to go on vacation.  If I could do it weekly, I would.  My family even has  membership at a resort hotel somewhere in the north.  And we often go there when time permits.  We would just stay inside the villa, sleep and eat and come morning, the kids go swimming.  That’s usually our routine when on vacation.  Just chill and have a good time.  There’s no point in taking a vacation if you’d just stress yourself.

But there are just some things that have to be prioritized and sometimes, vacation or having a break takes a back seat.  If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably bought one of those vacation timeshares.  Timeshares save you a lot of money but sometimes you get so busy with work and end up not using them.  Well, there’s Resorts Rescued who can help you with that. They can get your timeshare sold, rented or traded so you won’t end up just paying maintenance fees, taxes and assessments even if you don’t get to use them.  You can even earn in the process.

summit ridge

November 22nd, 2009

We’re in Tagaytay now and I’m taking advantage of the free wi-fi in the lobby of this new hotel, Summit Ridge.  We haven’t checked in.  We can only check in after lunch since no room is available yet.  The hotel is fully booked perhaps due to the November promo.  The room rate is 50% off the whole month.  By the way, I’m coming back here next week to take advantage of the promo and the long weekend.  Good thing there was one last room available when I inquired awhile ago.  I guess it was really meant for me.

Till next post…I will tell you all bout our experience sleeping in our ancestral house in Batangas.  It was terrible.  =(
