Financial is not that of a big deal since the company where he works will reimburse his tuition.

Yesterday was rainy here in MN. Today was sunny , but tomorrow we will have a "snow shower". I was telling one girl at work, that I don't have my "equipment" yet. What I mean is that I don't have all the important things that I need to face this cold winter here in Minnesota. But at least the car that I am driving already has an all season tires. I can't for this winter season over. Silly me, the winter did not even started yet. LOL . As a someone from the Philippines, yes I am s summer person!

Father / Daughter Talk

I just wanted to share this e-mail that was being forwarded to me. Just let me know what you think about this. Actually my husband and I decided not to talk about politics until the election is over. We decided to stop reading the news because we believe that the medias are bias. We won't talk about it, but We'll pray about it! Here's the story;


A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like
so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal
Democrat, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of
higher taxes to support more government programs; in other words
redistribution of wealth.


She was deeply ashamed that
her father was a rather staunch Republican,
a feeling she openly
expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and
the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had
for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought
should be his.


One day she was challenging her father on his
opposition to higher taxes
on the rich and the need for more
government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by
her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her
father.

He responded by asking how she was doing in school.
Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a
4.0 G PA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting
that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly
studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other
people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and
didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her
time studying.


Her father listened and then asked, "How is your
friend Audrey doing?"


She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy
classes, she never studies, and she barely has a
2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast.
She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she
doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over."


Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's
office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your
friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and
certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."


The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily
fired back, "That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've
worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a
lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree.
She played while I worked my tail off!"


The father
slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the
Republican party."

Leg Warmers

As I was driving to work this morning, I heard on the radio that we might have a snow shower this Sunday. And I am not ready for it yet . I still have to buy winter stuffs. I am looking for a leg warmer and cuff and guess what , I found what I need at rave clothing store . Yes, they do have furry legwarmers and fuzzy wrist cuffs. I will definitely need these since this will be my first real winter.

My body Is Sore

Happy Friday everyone. I am sure you are all excited that weekend is here once again. I am excited that weekend is here although I am kind of sad as my one week vacation is over. On Monday it's back to normal.

While I am on vacation, I decided to get back to the gym. I really missed going to the gym regularly. I used to go to the gym almost everyday when we were still living in Charleston. I have been to the gym regularly for the first few weeks that we arrived here in MN, but I stopped going when I had that stomach problem. Now I am back to working out and my whole body is kind of sore but not as bad as I thought. I will be changing my routine from now on. When I get home from work, instead of sitting in front of the computer, I will go to the gym. I hope I could discipline myself :)

Take care everyone and have a great and blessed weekend!

Cleaning Up my BlogRoll

Huh! Visiting almost all the links in my blog takes a lot of time. But since I got plenty of time I decided to visit them today and see if my blog is listed on their blog rolls. If I don't see mine, I will delete them. So far I have deleted about 45 blogs on my blog rolls. Why would I link them if they don't link me? When I visited their blogs, I either left a message on their shout box or drop them an EC. I don't think I have to say, " OH, I DON'T SEE MY NAME ON YOUR BLOG ROLL, PLEASE ADD ME". If I am not on their blog, that means they don't like my blog. So, why would I beg them to link me up?

Happy Blogging and Happy Friday everyone!

Infrared Saunas

Back when we were still living in Charleston SC, we go the gym almost everyday. One thing I like being at the gym is to be in the sauna. I like to go there so I could sweat. You see I am the kind of person who is not easily sweat. That's why I missed being in a sauna. What does my body benefit from Infrared Sauna? Well, this really helps with my menstruation pain as well as my back pain problem.

This far infrared sauna can also help relieve whatever pain we fell due to arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis,joint stiffness. It will also detoxify our skin.

The Beauty of Nature

Yesterday morning after our women's breakfast at church , we decided to go to one of the park here in Minnesota. I thought it was just a small park. So I went with them. And guess what we walked about 4-5 miles. Yes with my high heels shoes! Ouch. I said to myself, this is not a good idea, I would be really sore when I get home and I might not to be able to walk. I was really expecting to have a very sore body this morning, but I feel fine. I believe stretching my legs before we started walking really helped.

Here are some pictures :)



























You've got Mail

The e-mail was coming from someone from Ohio. I remember the subject of his e-mail was " Hello from Ohio" . I replied his first e-mail and that was the beginning of our friendship which blossoms into a wonderful relationship. We e-mailed to each other everyday for 11 months and then he came to the Philippines and we got married there. We are married for almost 7 years now and we are still very much in love with each other. My husband is one of the most wonderful gift God has ever given to me. When people asked me how I met my husband, they're surprised when I tell them , I met my husband online.

How's your 401K?

Are you contributing to your 401K? If you do, I am sure you experienced the same thing I do. Lost a lot of money for our retirement. When I started contributing to my 401K, I only did a 6% and I increased it to 10% of my gross pay. Over a period of time, the money in my account increased especially that my employer matches our contribution. And I was happy about it. But lately, I have lost a lot of my 401K contributions money. As of yesterday, October 10,2008. I lost 20.41 %. That's not a small money. So what I did was called JP Morgan and told them that I wanted to change my contribution back to 6 % for now. My plan is, I will just put the 4 % into my savings account.

Less than $3.00/ Gal. Gas

One of the gas station in Anoka, I took this picture while waiting for the light to change LOL.




I'll start to freak out when my gas is about a quarter of a tank. My husband was supposed to put gas on the car Sunday evening, but we forgot. So I panicked yesterday morning. He said to turn the engine on so that he could see if I could have enough gas to get to my work. Since it's already 6 am. I decided to just drive and just put gas on my way home.



I did filled up the tank on my way home yesterday, the price was $3.05/gal. This was in Shoreview MN, but when I got to Anoka the gas price was only $2.95/gal. This was yesterday , and as I passed by that same gasoline station today , their price is $2.93/ gal. I even heard in the radio that some of the areas in Minnesota has a price of $ 2.80/gal.

I made 600 EC Drops Yesterday

I was amazed by myself yesterday. The reason? I was able to drop 600 EC for the first time since I joined Entrecard. I started became active with EC dropping around July. I would really like to drop 300 EC a day, but it's just too time consuming.That's why I was surprised yesterday when I was able to do so. I don't even have plenty of time to do so yesterday as me and my husband went to the mall and we didn't get home until past 8 last night. I was happy to be able to drop 300 EC on both blogs of mine, but at the same I was sad, because not everybody reciprocate. Oh well!

Holiday Photo Cards

I just realized that it's already October and I still don't Christmas Cards to send out to my family and friends.

A 91 Cents Credit Card Balance

My husband and I tried NOT to use credit cards. In fact, we did not have any credit card debt almost a year now. We are very discipline with our finances especially now that the US economy is in chaos. It is our goal to become debt free. I am talking about no mortgage or car payments. Although our house in Ohio still not sold, I am very optimistic that one day God will provide a buyer for that house. We are planning to buy a house next year here in Minnesota but we have to make sure we have enough money to put for a down payment and plan to pay it off in 15 years ( Yes, sounds complicated, we have a house in Ohio that we're trying to sell, but we live in an apartment in Minnesota )

Anyway, back to the title of this post, like I said we do not have balances on our credit cards, but when I checked my discover credit card the other day, I was surprised to see that I have a 91 cents balance ? I was like, what is this about ? I think the credit card company is was being sneaky to put a balance on my account, and if I forgot to pay it then they hit me with a late fee and a bad credit report?

So my advise to all of you. Make sure you check your credit card balances often. Because credit card companies will try to get you and steal from you. I remember reading an article saying that the credit card companies are not really happy with people who doesn't keep balance on their credit card, they call these people "deadbeats" I would rather be called deadbeat by a credit card company than putting my self into a financial mess!

Phone Number Look Up

Is it not annoying when you and your love ones are getting ready to eat dinner and suddenly your phone rings? You get up and answer the phone , only to find out that it was a telemarketer. Telemarketer used to use an 800 number , but not anymore. When it's not an 800 number , I normally answers them even though I am not familiar with the number. The reason why I now answer phone numbers that are not an 800 number because one time, my husband's sister tried to call us. And I thought that was a telemarketer, so I started talking my own language. I didn't even let her talk. LOL . I was about to hanged up the phone when she said " This is Lisa, Todd's sister " . I am sure all of us has an experience with these annoying phone calls in which we have no idea who it was. I would encourage you to use Phone Number Reporter. Whether it be an annoying sales call , or a wrong number or maybe a prank call. Share that experience so that other people will be aware of the phone number!
