Priorities

Monday, February 15th, 2010

I am on the process of making a list of all our payables for the year vs. our targetted income so we would know how much are we going to spend for other things. Utility bills and apartment rental eat a quarter of our combined income and sometimes I despise those because whether we like it or not, we need to pay for it or else we won’t be experiencing the comfort that we have now. Oh well, life of a worker…we work to pay our bills!LOL.

Back to the budget, there’s a need for some revision in our budget.LOL. We also need to make changes on our priorities but still, life insurance is not in the list. I can’t still convince myself that we need that (though I know it should be) but not for now. The focus is the present and not the future (that’s our paradigm!) so let’s wait until we change our beliefs and priorities.   

Sale!!!

It’s president’s day in the US, right? Yahooo!!!! It’s holiday which means no work…err, I have load to do though schools are on holiday today. Anyway, I just knew that today is holiday because I saw a photo of an elliptical with a note “PRESIDENT’s DAY SALE!”. It’s a sweet deal, I suppose but getting it from US is next to impossible unless we move there or it’s free shipping to the Philippines. It must have been great to shop today to take advantage of the sale but I don’t have enough shopping budget this time. My next shopping plan will be on Black friday sale so that’s a longggg wait! I must saved enough for shopping by then.

The tv stand that wasn’t

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

We decided to get a tv stand last December. But as we are still scouting for tv stands, our LCD TV broke. So the plan of getting a tv stand was put at bay. While we are still TV-less, we’re not yet planning to get a stand nor a rack until we get our TV back. Therefore the budget for the stand will be diverted to other things that we need in the house. A microwave oven or a small vacuum cleaner? Give me time to weight things out as we need those things badly.  

Can’t wait for summer

Our vacation destination this coming summer is in Bantayan Island. We’ve heard a lot of good reviews about the island and the laid-back people living in the island so we wanna try it ourselves. Hopefully we will be joined by couple friends Ate Eunice and Kuya Johans that made us more excited for the trip! Now I am waiting for the feedback from Ate Nice about the resort rates or better if there’s vacation homes that we could rent out during our 3-day stay there. I am just excited! Can’t wait for summer!
