It has always been my dream to live independently; away from my family. And now that this dream is about to come true, I have started looking for some nice pads or apartments to rent and live in. However, since I still couldn’t afford to pay solely the rent, I decided to invite my cousin and a friend of mine to live with me in the apartment or pad in order to divide the rental fee, electricity and water bill.
We have found a nice pad somewhere in Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City, which could cater for a maximum of 10 people. It is a very nice pad, with tiles, bathroom and kitchen inside it. My siblings were delighted with the pad’s capacity because they wanted me to find a place where whenever they come to Cagayan de Oro, they will have a place to sleep in.
Since I wanted to have a spacious and organized pad, which could cater for visitors to sleep, we decided to buy a bunk bed instead of our ideal beds (King size, etc.) in order to save some space and have more beds available for the visitors.
Apparently, bunk bed is a type of bed in which one bed frame is stacked on top of the other. Examples of bunk beds are those that we can commonly find in dormitories, prisons, ships, cabins, hostels, etc. However, I, on the other hand, wanted to have a unique bunk bed which could bring comfort and warm on my mind and body. In such a way that I would like our bunk bed to be personalized and made by a carpenter, and designed by me in order to have my ideal unique version of bunk bed, which could also attract my visitors.
I am very busy this week, I have been trying my best to remember what I have learned in College. I am an accountancy graduate and I am trying to keep my records as organized and as clean as accountants do.
I am checking out my old textbooks for some help and some ideas on how to keep my records straight and correct. I am back to posting on my journal and ledger. Back to thinking what debit and credit means. And I am back into the world of trial balance where everything needs to be equal.
Have you tried online shopping? If you haven’t, you should try it. Three years ago, I have learned about blogging and I also learn about online earning. At first, I don’t know how to get my money online so I just used it to shop online. I have checked out different online stores and shops for my needs and wants. There are online stores who offer lower prices and free delivery, there are also online shops who offer freebies and “buy one, take one” promos. Almost everything is sold online and as a consumer or buyer you need to verify the authenticity of the thing you are going to buy and with other consumers or shoppers’ help you will also be able to distinguish the real sellers from scammers.
You can also check out some retail store supplies online. The good thing about shopping online for your needs is that you will be able to save money in fuel because you don’t need to go out of your house and buy your household needs. Another thing is that it is not time-consuming, you don’t have to go from one aisle to another to look for all the things you need for the week or month. You only need a computer or laptop that you can connect online then voila, you can shop online for your groceries, wardrobe needs and even toys for your kids. If you are buying in bulk, you can save on the delivery cost and you can even get some freebies too.
I haven’t received any Valentine’s Day card for this year and it didn’t surprise me. Why? Because I don’t usually receive cards for Valentine’s Day, I used to give a lot of cards during Valentine’s Day when I was in high school but nobody gives me a card. Some Valentine’s Day cards are hand-made, some are bought from stores and some are uniquely created by me.
Here are some nice ideas for a unique Valentine’s Day cards you can make at home at give next year to your loved-ones and family.
• Heart-formed cards made from red cardboards – this is easy to make, personalized and cheap, you only need cardboards (cartolina) and you can create a lot from one sheet.
• Cards made from bond papers pasted with cut-out hearts and designs from old cards – you only need bond papers, a paste and old Valentine’s Day cards that you have received, you can cut out the design and letters then paste it unto the bond paper and you have created a new Valentine’s Day card.
• Valentine’s Day card made from Cross-stitch – I used to give this kind of card to my parents, yes it is easy and more personalized, there are many ways to create different letters using the thread and cross-stitch cloth.

These are going to look and feel the same as platinum at a fraction of the cost. It is a good idea to try several on first before committing to one ring for your wedding. Different styles will fit differently. They will also wear in their own unique way as well.
Its 5 more days to go before Valentine’s Day hits the town. Most couples will spend their Valentine’s Day together and some will be contented with seeing each other through Skype or video calls because they are long-distance lovers. Nevertheless, men and women alike are trying their best to show their other half that they loved them truthfully by giving those gifts of love such as:
• Stuff toys carrying messages of love in their tummy.
• Bouquet of flowers with chocolates.
• Valentine’s Card.
• Couple T-shirts or Couple Watches that matches.
• Valentine’s Cake with words of love.
• Something unique and personalized like a set of framed led lights saying “You’re my only one”.
The list could go on and on but the main reason why people give gifts of love on Valentine’s Day is Love itself, wouldn’t you agree?
Before I sleep, I make sure that me and my son are lying side by side with his head on my arms. But I was shock when I saw this picture of us sleeping together (taken my by boyfriend):
I don’t know what happened but I think my son loves to move around the bed when we are sleeping. I think most children moves around the bed when they are sleeping but I am afraid because what if he moves too much and fall to the floor. That is why I prefer that we sleep on the floor, we just put some foams and pillows beside the wall.
I have noticed that beggars in the streets are increasing in numbers, aside from the fact that more and more children are beginning to live in the corners of different buildings in the city and ask money to every shopper they can see.
Sometimes, I feel irritated, especially when they grab my shirt and beg for money and it makes me think that I need cord cover for my sleeves. Sometimes, I feel angry towards this kind of people because they are everywhere I go and they don’t easily go away unless I give them my spare coins. I don’t blame the government for this kind of people; I blame the people themselves because why can’t they find a suitable way to earn money aside from begging on the streets? How can you expect me to have a generous heart when I can see that they are not physically handicapped and that they can do great deals of work if they want to?
But what can I do, I have not experienced their lives. I have not tried to live in the streets and ask for money. I have not asked them if they have tried to look for work and they just didn’t get any work because nobody trusted them. I realized that I should not judge them and by not judging them is one random act of kindness I believe.
January has ended yesterday, I am welcoming the month of hearts with full of LOVE, LOVE, and more LOVE.
Some people say that love makes the world go round and I totally agree with them. I mean, if love doesn’t exist how can we be at peace with the world and with the people around us? How can we exist serenely with each other? Love is the main reason why we are here, alive, kicking and working our way to reach our goals and dreams. The love of God has been the primary reason why He created us, and the love of God for mankind is also the reason why He sends Jesus Christ to save us.
I hope that for the month of February, we will love each other truthfully without expecting anything in return. And I hope that we will not only show our love to people who are our family and relatives but we will also extend our love to people who are in need. Sharing our blessings from God to other people who are in need is another way of showing our love to our co-human beings and our love to our God.
I am encouraging all my readers and blogging friends to do one act of kindness every day.
I don’t have my own house just yet but I am planning to build one of my own. There are so many things to consider first when building your own house. Such as the size of the house, how many bedrooms do you need, where it is located and many more. It is also important to think of where you want to build your house, if you want it in the urban area or in the rural area. After deciding the location, you need to decide about its size, how big or small it is that would be enough to cater for your needs.
As for me, I want to build my house in my home town because it is where my business is located and I want to raise my children in my home town. The perfect location will be in the town proper because it is where the school, church, clinic, grocery stores and market are located. I don’t want a big house because bigger house means bigger expenses for the electricity and water bills, so I prefer a small one but just enough for my family.
One thing that I would love to choose myself for my house is the bathroom lighting aside from the lighting in the whole house. It is important for me because I want my home to be perfect and I would love to have a different style from the other houses in my home town. A contemporary lighting for the whole house will bring something unique and different I guess. My home will look great and cool at the same time.
I also want a big front yard and backyard. I want to have benches and flower garden in front of my house while vegetable garden at my backyard. We have different tastes I guess in building our homes but it’s not bad to check out other people’s houses for some ideas.
