After failing from different businesses he ventured into, my father got a more sensible head this time by trying to save as much as he could. I am very glad that he is back on the right track, though I must say, it’s a little late. But still, I know he can find a way to save for the rainy days.

I can still recall when he still had a fish pond. He bought pond filters, but the caretakers weren’t really educated on how to use them. And so those things just went into waste. Little stuff like that caused my father’s failure in some of his businesses. I think, it’s more of mismanagement on his part. He was excited to deal with all of them, that he eventually did not have the chance to delve into the strategies he would be using for each one.

I am just so glad that he is a lot wiser this time. He still has a food business which is doing very well, and I advised him to just focus on it and let it grow since it has been his bread and butter for the longest time.

I lost my mom 11 years ago because of colon cancer. Up to now, I am still puzzled what caused her disease. I think she had been a healthy eater all her life. She liked eating fruits and vegetables. She seldom ate red meat.

Now, I am trying to tell my father to practice a healthy lifestyle. I just could not tell him that I do not want to lose him the way I lost Ma. Just this morning, I’ve seen some electronic cigarettes advertised on the television. Pa really finds it hard to quit smoking. And so I thought I can help him in some ways by providing a lesser evil alternative.

My father has been telling me about his plans of remodeling our humble abode. I’ve been trying to persuade him about it for the longest time, and I’m really thankful that he gave in… just now. But even so, I am still excited with the whole thing. I’ve started scanning some home magazines to get some ideas that will suit our house.

I’ve suggested that we buy some glass tiles for it will add some elegance to some parts of our house. Pa agreed, and I think he’s going to order soon.

Everyone here in the house is just as excited as I am. Well, I just hope that we will all do our part to make things happen.

I have never been a collector. Since my childhood years, I haven’t tried collecting things as a hobby. My friends would always meet up to trade stationeries, but I never joined them. I would just look at their stuff, but I did not really catch my fancy.

But now, I have started a collection… a memory collection, that is! I am so pleased with this one for I know I will have something to look back to when I get old and gray. My very precious tools are my digital camera, camcorder, blogs and photo albums. I know my kids will appreciate all these when they grow up.

There are so many things to treasure in life.

My father witnessed a terrible car accident near their place. He was talking about it, and I have felt how terrified he was. He told me that he was planning to get auto insurance quotes, so he would have no worries. But I also asked him to take some precautions. He is also planning to have his car checked to prevent unwanted incidents.

Well, I just hope he learned something from what he witnessed.

The kids and I went to Jollibee this afternoon to buy chocolate sundaes after their haircut. They were well-behaved during the whole thing, and I think they deserved a treat! The store manager told me about their workshop for the kids which will be held tomorrow. I was easily convinced to have my children enlisted for the said event. I saw the excitement in my kids’ eyes too!

Before going home, we went to a hardware nearby to get some stuff for the house. I have seen some rocker switches which we can use. But I decided not to buy some, maybe next time when the budget will allow.

Hubby told me that there will be a shopping festival next month, and so he wants me to think about the things that I want him to buy for us. I told him that I do not want anything. I just want him to save because the kids will go to school this coming school year. But hubby told me that he wanted to buy some tools especially spring plungers, because he would be using them once in a while.

Hayz, I’ve been taking all measures to save up for the kids’ schooling. It’s a great challenge for every parent.

Since day 1 of pregnancy, I have been trying to give the best nourishment, care and love that I can provide my kids. It is my main goal in life, to be the best mother that I can be.

My two pregnancies were not very easy. I took a lot of prenatal vitamins to ensure that the baby inside me would get proper nutrition. I needed to give myself ample time to rest since I was teaching then. I kept on eating nutritious foods to keep myself healthy.

I want nothing but the best for my two boys, and moms like me will surely never settle for anything less. That is why I understand those parents who are very meticulous with matters concerning their kids.

My uncle has been suffering from eczema for a long time now. He has gone through eczema treatment, but to no avail. I really wanted to help him for I have seen how much the infection was affecting him.

I have seen this Ilog Maria carrot soap which claims to cure all kinds of skin infections. This is an all-natural soap which is manufactured in a honey bee farm in Tagaytay. I asked him to try it. He was so hesitant at first, but when he used it, he was so happy with the results. And now, he asked me to buy some again.

I am very pleased to have helped him with his long-time problem.

I have plans on hitting the gym as I am looking for some quick weight loss programs. Many people do it for vanity’s sake. As for me, I intend to maintain the ideal weight for my height due to some health concerns. I do not want to suffer from any health complication since I have two kids to take care of. That is why I make it a point to keep myself in the pink of health.

I hope that people will realize that we all need to protect and take care of the bodies God has given us. It’s just one of the many ways to show Him that we appreciate His wonderful creations.
