A month ago, I sent my payment for my life insurance. I pay it annually so I can save more. It is once a year big expenses that I don’t set aside monthly. But it’s okay, I know my family will be protected once something wrong happened to me. Have you check online life insurance? You should, it will give you peace of mind knowing your family will be okay financially once you are gone. We will all die.. it just the matter of time.

Who would not be thankful with the convenience of an instant quote of insurance online? I am! Our life, dental, home, and auto were online quote that after we compared to agent, we decided which one to get. Even for our everyday shopping, we use online help to compare prices. The convenience of these things is unthinkable. Actually I’m doing another project/rate comparison. And that is for our current auto insurance. I want to know if there is cheaper than what we have now.

I joined a logo contest at work and no formal announcement yet if I won.. but I have a feeling that I did. lol No big prizes.. I will just get a free shirt with the logo I created and of course feel good for our department. ;) They will add the logo to custom hats and other fund raising products. Hopefully people will like my design so it can generate more sales this year.

I will post the image once the announced the winner :)

Do you know someone who is suffering from depression? I know how hard it will be. I remember feeling blue after I had my second baby. I’m sad and I cannot explain why. I feel like crying for no reason. And I just want to look at blank. Going back on that scene, scares me. Good thing I talked to my family member. They are my natural treatments for depression. It’s really true that family can bring relief in this kind of disease.

I never had one again after that.. except for occasional feeling blah when my period is coming.

My mom needs an age spot remover! I’m wondering if this will work on my freckles too. I told to my mom that I want her to look younger for her age. She is on early 60’s and I think she looks better than before she migrated here in the US. Her skin is lighter now and tighter on the face. The only bad thing is she gained weight when she moved here. And, she is my partner for loosing weight.

The goal to get rid of belly fat is not for me. Cause I need to get rid of all the fats on my body and not just on my belly! I envy women who still have small tummy after they had kids. But I’m inspired to loose all these jiggling fat all over my body. And I need help. I really need to be surrounded by people who eats healthy and will motivate me to reach my goal.

But sometimes it’s hard to say no to your family. And that’s where my problem is. We have too many food at home and not eating it is like wasting money. Ahhh! So hard! I try to be more physically active to burn fat. But I still need help from my family.

Few months ago, my brother in law asked me to buy the best muscle builders. I think he is joining some competition and he is working hard to develop and be a muscle man. But I wasn’t able to send the balikbayan box on time. So he only have short period of time to use it. I still hope that it will work and bring his muscles out.

If only I can send him a Total Gym equipment.. I will. But it’s too big to put it on balikbayan box.

To go with my goal to live life healthy, I’m taking my vitamins regularly. From what I’ve read, women should take vitamins that is really catered to their need and not just a multi vitamins that doesn’t give enough nutrients or mineral specific to women’s need. You can find womens vitamins that can help in metabolism problem, hot flash for women in 40’s, and more. Two of my doctors discourage me with Centrum before.. and that leads me to find one that will address to my specific need.

Do you think the economy is getting better? Some signs show that we are recovering from the bad economy but some are still losing jobs. I really want to get the economy back. It’s hard if you’re anxious that soon you might lost your job too. And I understand why some people are really helpless when things like this comes. As I always say.. Trust God with all you heart.. He can surely make things easy to bear.

Today is my Friday because tomorrow is furlough day. I have tons of things on my to-do list that I need to accomplish before Saturday. And I’m hoping to finish it all!

Have a happy day ahead! ;)

Considering the cost of our monthly cell phone charge, I once opted to just use prepaid cell phones. But the problem is we have numbers that we regularly call and the cost will add up and it will be higher than the fix monthly charge. Now that I have the perfect plan, what I need is to upgrade our phones. And the phone prices are not cheap. Just another type of expenses that never ends.
