Getting insured

I have just wrote about health insurance which is something that I wish Donald and I could get a decent one for our family. He is already a PhilHealth member and is paying religiously after learning the lesson the HARD way last year (when Eman got hospitalized three times in a span of one month) but I honestly doesn’t feel so secured with it. Our next goal is to get another health insurance plan like the medicare supplement plans to make our minds worry-free for any untoward incident that may occur. We were caught off-guard when Eman got ill that is why we are not taking any chances now.

Philhealth vs NC Health Insurance

Mama Ingrid has been selling her house in North Carolina for over a year now. There are people who really wanted to buy it but according to her, they cannot get the money from the bank. There may be factors that affected their housing loan. So even when she has not sold her house yet, she bought another house that is smaller and nearer to her workplace. Since she is a widow and has no children, her old house is just to huge for her. She said if we could just go there she wouldn’t sell her old house. Oh part of me wanted to go there (main reason is the good health insurance in nc which is a a lot different with our PhilHealth here) but we will be going to miss a lot of stuffs here. Family, friends, food and places….there is none like home and so we are sticking our butts here.

Ukay-ukay

I haven’t blogged yet that we are opening a store soon. We are going to be selling ukay-ukay again and part of the space will be for my handmade stuffs (cloth diapers, baby slings, jewelries and my gift items). Donald and I are so excited. I can’t even sleep because I am itching to open the bales of ukay-ukay. You know how I love the smell of the ukay-ukay from the US. Stocks are all in and we have already bought all the stuffs needed (glass showcase, racks, hangers, mannequins and such) and tomorrow we hope we can get the store ready for the opening on Sunday. I wish I have the time to prepare small give-aways as promotional products for the first few customers but since we are swamped with all the work, we can do that in December.

Gotta have this playset

I am not yet through the idea of me digging gold bars in the yard, it made me daydream of things I would want to buy! Here is one that I would really really want for the kids.

This is one of the biggest wooden swing sets and it would occupy our whole home lot! So I’d go buy a huge house with a huge yard where we can put this play set for the kids and their friends to enjoy. I would also want to install a swimming pool with a sun shade so we can go swimming all day without getting sun burned. Wohooooo! I really have to start digging now. Gotta buy a shovels for me and Donald.

Forex

One of the things that I am most interested in doing is to learn Foreign Exchange but getting into it is next to impossible. It is a huge business and only people with fortune can play in it as investors. But who knows I’d get lucky to dig gold bars in the front yard buried by the Japs during the WWII? Well that might be possible so I think I should start looking at Forex charts to get familiar with the whole thing. I will start digging now!

Bob revolution

Since I started making baby slings, we rarely use the stroller until we forgot that we had it. Donald and I fully rely on our baby slings….yes we have all 8 colors since realizing that I make them but I only own one. We were at SM one time and saw a nice stroller. Not for sale but was wheeled around by a dad with her chunky baby in it. It must be really sturdy and expensive from the looks of it. I love the style. It has only three wheels so it is easier to navigate around. If I have not discovered the comfort and ease wit baby slings, I would love to have one from bob revolution and I would love to get the this:

Love the color!!!! My favorite!!!!!

Grand vacation

We are starting a small business and Donald and I are pretty much excited. We both even dreamed about it last night! Talk about being so excited. LOL So we will be very busy the next few days, weeks and months…I hope years too! I was just afraid from the day it was planned that we cannot easily take a day off to the beach or to the mall. But we have to set aside the “family time” and start working, working, working so we can pay for our house which will soon built. Working long hours will be just fine with me but I wish we can save up for a short vacation sometime next year. We want to go to Hongkong Disneyland but we are beach lovers so I guess to dream for a Royal Caribbean get away would be it. Dream on!

Crazy over lamps

Since we bought Ella her foldable bed with mattress, she has been sleeping on it and loving it. I bought a Disney Princess bedding set that was shipped by Mama Ingrid over a year ago and this got her so excited. I hung a canvass of Disney Princess and will still put the huge picture of the princesses which was used as her birthday banner last June. Her bed is just in the foot of our bed. Hopefully when we will finally move to our own house she will have her own bedroom. She has been bugging me to sleep in her own room and she already made clear that she wanted a comforter and a fancy bedside lamp. To her, having a lampshade means one is wealthy. LOL Maybe we can get her a cheapo pink lamp to go with her beddings. She still hasn’t grown past her craziness over Disney Princesses and everything PINK. I actually would love to have a lamp too. I wish I had one (I was eyeing one of the Kichler lighting) so I can read in bed again. Ohhhh this got me excited too!

Invest, invest….

I think the economy is putting us bloggers (and so are the OFW’s) to danger. The last time I withdrawn money from my paypal, the exchange rate is 44 something. Now I saw on FB that it’s down to 43 point something. This is so alarming because we get our blogging money in dollars. How I wish I could have invested some of the money in gold jewelries. I cannot buy a huge amount of it, just a few pieces of gold on auction and I am sure when the peso hits the lowest exchange rate, I would still be smiling from ear to ear because gold value does not depreciate. True enough that to invest in gold or to buy gold bullion is the best investment ever.

Food, food, food

I am now thinking about the dinner we had last night. I had a platter of pasta, pizza, garlic bread and potato wedges. I think I will be going back there soon. I have said that earlier right? I just can’t help it. I hope it is a sign that my appetite is back. I won’t care how big my tummy will get or if I will need the best herbal phentermine that I found in the market….as long as I will get the figure I had after I delivered Eman I will feel really really gorgeous.
