Risky type of person

Monday, June 28th, 2010

My uncle is encouraging my dad to buy gold coins. He’s been investing in it for years and finds the returns on his investment to be satisfying. My uncle is the type of person who takes risks. He would invest in something different like gold coins but after only a thorough research done on it, of course. The money he is investing is his retirement fund so he will not jeopardize it.

At the US Gold Bureau, you can learn more about gold investment. If you are interested in gold like my uncle, the site is there for you to use as a resource site about gold, silver and other precious metals investments. Visit USGoldBureau.com now.

Unfair life

Friday, June 25th, 2010

contemplatingLife is unfair. I have never been more sure of this than now.

My grandma, as I’ve said in a previous post, is currently very sick. She is bedridden due to diabetes. She has bedsores and is in pain. We couldn’t do anything anymore for her. It’s gone that bad already.

She has been a very good provider for her siblings when they were growing up. She is the eldest and even when her siblings got married, she was their go-to person in times of trouble. Even our relatives would go to her for help. But look at her now, suffering, and those people whom she has helped don’t even visit her. It’s really unfair! Shouldn’t good people be treated kindly in their old age?

Ah, life! I wish it will treat me kindly in the future. Unlike how it is treating my grandma now.

Getting new car grills

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Vino is getting new car grills today. He met a minor accident and got his grills broken because of it. He was scared his dad will get mad at him but instead his dad was really concerned about what happened. Not only will he get funds for the car grills but he will also be enrolled in a driving course this weekend. Vino’s dad wants to see for himself that he really can be left alone to drive.

Anyway, he is getting the grills from CARiD.com, a web site where you can find car accessories for every brand of car there is. Go ahead and check it out now, just like what Vino is doing.

In anguish

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

I was very lucky growing up. I had doting aunts, a grandmother and grand-aunts. They all made me feel loved and appreciated and I think they are the reason that I am strong and capable of so much more.

I spent most of my childhood at my grandma’s house. During weekends and school breaks, you could find me there all the time. In fact, I wasn’t that close to my siblings when I was younger because I spent most of my time with my male cousins who also live beside grandma’s house. I loved those days I spent at my grandma’s simply because I got almost everything I wanted while I was there. My grand-aunt would cook whatever dish I wanted. I got to play as long as I wanted and I didn’t have to do the dishes while I was with them. My grandma would make sure that I was well-provided for all the time.

Can you imagine how devastated I am right now that my grandma is very sick? She is bedridden already and is suffering from diabetes. And I can’t do anything but watch her slowly fade away.

My heart is in anguish. I can’t bear to look at her because my heart breaks into tiny pieces just seeing her breathing shallowly.

If only I can take her place I’d do it.

Value of advice

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

When it comes to financial decisions, I always consult my dad. Even if I am already old enough to decide on my own, I still value the advice of my father more than ever. So now that I am thinking of investments, I am asking for his advice. He thinks it’s best to buy gold bars as investment just for the main reason that gold never goes out of existence.

According to the site of the US Gold Bureau, buying gold has been recognized as one of the best way to preserve man’s wealth. I do believe so. Come with me as I visit USGoldBureau.com now.

Plans for Father’s Day

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

It’s Father’s Day this coming Sunday. My siblings and I are preparing a simple celebration for my dad. Just us. We’re thinking of lunch out, possibly at our favorite restaurant. Or we can prepare lunch here at home, complete with cake and ice cream.

What do you think?

Last year, it was a special dinner out. Then we gave him gifts. I don’t know what the final decision would be. I will let you know.

WW – Flowers and my mom

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Flowers

Lovely flowers remind me of my mom. She loved flowers. You could just see the joy in her eyes when we would give her a bunch of flowers or even a single rose. She just loved it. So whenever we visit her grave, we make sure we bring flowers with us.

It’s our way of saying we remember and that she will always be in our hearts…

Stressed out

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

I was talking to my sister regarding changing this blog’s theme. She said I shouldn’t. This blog’s header is beautiful. And the overall layout is just fine. I just have this overwhelming need to change something when I feel uneasy.

While other people shop or drink when stressed out, I change something. It could be a haircut, a body scrub, a complete cleaning of my corner, or a change of themes in my blog(s). Yes, that’s how I cope with stress. Better than indulging in vices, right?

How do you deal with stress?

Daydreamer

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

fireworks

I am a daydreamer. I spend hours and hours dreaming of the things I want. That’s how I was and how I am and how I will be.

I remember being reprimanded by my mom for drifting off to la-la-land when I should be helping her with household chores. I couldn’t help it. It’s my imagination running wild and my daydreaming mixed into one.

Even if there are fireworks going on, I could still be in my own world dreaming of the life I want…
