Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday, November 25, 2010


I don't want to be antisocial so let's start by greeting you dear readers a very Happy Thanksgiving! I know it is not that much celebrated in the Philippines but since I have friends and people from work in the US why shouldn't I be happy for them right? I know most of you are working for people there too. Indeed I'm so glad we get to have some of that holiday spirit here too. I just had turkey at home. I didn't know Mom would cook hehe!

I'm already getting stuffed with the stuffing I couldn't move. Well almost haha! I'll make some of those turkey sandwiches tomorrow because I'm sure there will be leftovers. Dad didn't like some parts of the turkey because it was too tough. I like it though but it is pretty hard to chew when I'm being chased by the toothfairy since last week. Oh if you only knew how I sometimes cry over dinner. It's keeping me from eating too much though which is OK for my diet in someway or another.

That's another story... I would really love to greet everyone a happy thanksgiving and make sure you read about it on why they celebrate it in the US before you do enjoy this day. We're lucky we never had to chase birds like back then. Happy Thanksgiving!

HONDA It Is!

Wednesday, November 24, 2010

I want a new car. I've been using the van for quite some time now and it does the job. I need something handy though. I lack the parking space at home and I couldn't just gamble and park outside. I was thinking of getting a used honda because I have heard good reviews. The color though is not negotiable because I want it black. I might need financing fixed so I could get it on the first quarter and use it for work. I know this is going to be another purchase but these days it has become a necessity. I have asked my Dad to get another section of the garage constructed for parking space since the van is already occupying the front of our house. It will coincide with the construction of our street and pavement. I'm sure it will be a little troublesome for most of our neighbors but since the city government wanted to make every sidewalk into bricks we can't do anything about it.

It will be a good thing to buy and I'm sure it is going to be beneficial on those short trips. I don't want to carry around the van because it is too big. I couldn't even go on U turn slots without crossing the other lane just to have lee way. The diesel engine is one of the perks though and that saved me a lot for quite a number of years. I'm not complaining don't get me wrong but if I get this car it'll be easier for me to get around the metro. I need to carry some of my photography equipments too and this one is surely going to be beneficial to me and my family. If you want a second car would you choose the same?

Daily Moo's 11242010



I'm being hounded by the tooth fairy. I tried to ignore it but I think I'll have my doctor do this on Sunday. I hope it all goes away.

I'm watching Hellcats. Some show over ETC. It's nice and a little interesting. I want to see some more episodes just like Walking Dead. Have you guys watched that show? Awesome huh?!

I love LOVE. Don't get me wrong, but I ain't interested in those that I don't like in the first place so don't force me okay?

I am trying to eat a little healthy before I pig out on Christmas. Yeah I have to maintain weight and waistlines just like everyone else. I look perfect but I ain't. It's so close though that it frightens me hahahaha!

I want to go to work now. I am early though but I need to finish a couple of documents for next week. It's going to be busy after Thanksgiving. Oh where's your Turkey?

I'm craving for chocolate covered bacon. I remember that clearly from the food event I went to last year. I need to go to BGC and their new market to get some. I heard it from the grapevine. I'm surely going there this weekend. Anyone wanna hang out?

I'm so lame I wanna hit people on the street. Blast them all to bits. Traffic in Manila is ridiculous!

How do you handle debt?




I've been having a lot of problems lately because I couldn't think of a way to quickly pay my bills. To say the least, the quick trips out of the country have not helped at all because of the fact that I haven't eased out shopping. I need to also buy gifts for the people back at home and that's another story. Just think about how much I had to spend on hotel and ticket reservations and I'm sure you have got a rough estimate how much I owe the banks. I need debt management strategies that are above the ordinary or else I'll stay working longer hours just to pay a not so payable debt. That's just not right!

I need to stay optimistic though that even if I end up using the stashed millions I have in the bank I still could pay up what I owe in my cards and creditors. That would be the smart thing to do so I wouldn't just pay interest rates from the amount which I originally have to pay for. I have to also maximize the perks that came with the subscription too otherwise the annual fee is also going to kill me. I know I can do this. I just have to ask the experts. I should start looking for people who do this professionally too so I wouldn't have to just stay under debt when the time comes.

How do you handle debt? How do you pay for it without ending bankrupt? You should tell me your stories too!
