Games for my Husband

I already bought a watch for my husband as a gift for three events: Christmas, New Year, and his birthday. I know that doesn't sound fair but I'm sure he's used to it because his birthday is falls on New Year. I'm still thinking of other gifts for him and the only thing that I know he's passionate about are adventure games. If we have a mac, I'm sure he'll be into mac games and I stumbled on this site where the best mac games could be found. Luckily, they also have a PC version so my hubby can try it out.
I would especially recommend for him to play Magic Stones. We both love playing RPG and this game is an RPG and a card game in one. Magic Stones lets you choose from twenty different characters that fit your personality. There are three modes in which you can play in: Gathering Artifacts, Challenge Druid, and Quest Mode. Like other RPG games, you have to make your character strong so in the Gathering Artifacts mode you can freely roam the kingdom and look for hidden treasures. In this stage, fighting monsters is a breeze because they don't have special spells. This will help you gain skills and level up. In the Challenge Druid mode, 16 differnet Druids are going to challenge you in the tournament. In this mode, your opponent are tougher so they will definitely test your playing ability. The last mode is the Quest mode you'll have a new purpose in playing the game. In the Quest mode you'll be able to play new creature and characters. If you're a registered user, you'll never run out of quests to play because a new quest is released every 3-4 months for free.
There are more games to choose from at Winter Wolves. I know he'll be delighted trying our the other games like Supernova 2: Spacewar, Universal Boxing Manager, The Goalkeeper, and TV Station Manager that he wouldn't feel bad he just received one gift!

The Best Time to Eliminate Debt is Christmas

Christmas is just around the corner and it just occurred to me that this is the perfect opportunity to start eliminating debts, if you have one. One of the perks of being an employee is receiving the 13th month pay and Christmas bonus. My husband said he will receive his 13th month pay this soon and we are surely excited. It may be tempting to reward yourself for all the hard work that you're doing and take that plunge and buy that laptop or digital camera you've been eyeing for a long time but if you've got debt and it would be better to use your extra money to eliminate debt. It makes perfect sense, since you have to pay for it anyway and it will keep on increasing if you don't pay it costing you even more money in the future then why not buy yourself some piece of mind this Christmas and use that money to get rid of that irritating debt. This is my simple advice on how to eliminate debt.
We're fortunate we don't have any debts to pay but we're still thinking long and hard before we use that extra money. Our wishlist includes a digital camera, a vacation, an oven, and a new guitar but we hope we'll end up making some practical purchases instead and keep the remaining money in a bank which we can use as a capital for our business in the future. Too bad I don't have any bonus because I'm working at home but that's the only thing I'm missing from my previous work. Anyway, I wish all of us to have the best Christmas we'll ever have but not at the expense of our finances!

I personally like this metal half-rim frame with polarized magnetic snap-on sunlens so I can have both eyeglasses and shades for the bright sunny days in the summer.

Opening a Savings Account to help in Debt Elimination

A smartcard graphic, without banklogos or simi...Image via WikipediaOur family's goal is to really save money. In line with our goal, I opened three bank accounts this month alone: one for my online salary, one for Z, and the third one an automatic savings account connected to S's payroll. Even if I've been earning online, it seems that we end up wasting the money on things I don't even remember because it's deposited to our current atm which we use when we go out, shop for our grocery, etc. Now that my online salary is deposited on it's own account, I'm confident that the extra money will remain untouched and it will be easier to save it.
Z didn't understand what it meant to open a bank account but he sure was excited to see his name on his passbook. It's timely because Christmas is coming and so is his birthday this January. All the money gifts he will receive will be deposited directly there. I'm already excited to see his money grow slowly but surely. I'm sure he'll be able to appreciate having money in the bank when he's old enough. I also hope this will instill to him the value of saving so that in the future he won't have a problem with debt elimination.
While at BDO, my husband tried applying for a credit card. As of the moment we don't have a single credit card but we tried to apply for one just in case. We thought the application was going smoothly and we had submitted all the requirements but someone from the bank called S and told him he hasn't submitted a photocopy of his IDs. That was impossible because we couldn't open a savings account without IDs so I'm sure they were the ones who forgot to attach it or something. When we went back to BDO to claim our ATM card, we mentioned it and they said we need to submit our IDs again, unfortunately we only brought one ID this time so I told S it's better that way, maybe it's really not meant for us to have a credit card. It doesn't matter if we have a poor credit score, but the reason why we're saving is to avoid incurring any kind of debt in the future.
I opened our third bank account because one of our perennial problems was saving a portion of S's income and not touching it. While reading the newspaper, I chanced upon an advertisement of BPI's Direct Save UP which automatically deducts whatever amount you set from your payroll atm to its very own account. You won' be able to spend that money because the account doesn't come with ATM. What's more, you will be insured 5X of your saved amount.
Now that everything is in place, it's up to us whether we will be successful in our goal or not. As the moment, I'm just thankful we're worrying about saving money and not about debt elimination.

Importance of Family Time

Our family really needs a vacation! We're always at home or at the mall and when we go out we just go visit our relatives. I was just reading a book with the title "What Parents Do to Mess Up their Kids" and it is truly one inspiring read. First of all, it affirms my decision that I'm on the right track that I decided to be a stay-at-home mother and second it opened my eyes that I'm still not giving him the attention that he needs. Sometimes I'm too preoccupied with my housework, my online job, or with other things. Sometimes we just buy our kids expensive toys to make up for the "guilt" that we have when we all know that our attention is more precious to them. The book talks importance of family activities playing together, doing household chores together, or just enjoying each others company and having meaningful conversation. It also said that the we should schedule family vacations together which led me to search for ideal vacation spots. If we have the resources to go overseas I would really like to to stay in Hotel Paris and experience the way the french live. I would want to taste authentic french food with their Bed and breakfast bordeaux. You can even enjoy as much as 20% discount in your reservation at Hotel paris. I'm sure Z would want such a vacation too because just yesterday he said he wanted to experience riding an airplane like the many airplanes that we see from our terrace. In the meantime we would just enjoy a boat ride at the nearby La Mesa Ecopark. I just checked their website and it sure has a lot of activities our family would enjoy like bike riding, fishing, swimming, and just enjoying nature. It will also be an educational experience for Z to see the dam where our actual tap water is coming from since he always asks me when he takes a bath where the water from our faucet comes from. I'm sure this vacation will be one of the most memorable moments that we have as a family.

Zenni was Featured on Fox

Check out their review on Zenni's quality eyewear. At Zenni, you can have Great Eyeglasses For Less. I bought my previous eyeglasses for $20 but Zenni offers glasses for as low as $8. You can also choose Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni, they have so many frames to choose from I'm sure you'll find the right one for you.

My New Eyeglasses

Eventhough I have poor eyesight, I didn't wear glasses for almost two years. After becoming a mother, my priority has been my son and as a result I put my needs have been put in second place. When we go to the mall, we always think of buying toys for Z but never for the things we need for ourselves. That's why it took me two years to buy my pair of glasses after I accidentally sat down on my previous pair. Wanna know what finally prompted me to buy a new pair of glasses? Well, I saw an offer online that I simply could not refuse - quality, stylish eyeglasses for the low price $8.00. I couldn't believe it at first because it has all the things I want in my glass: thin lens, UV protection, scratch resistant, and so many frames and colors to choose from and yet it was still so affordable. I had a hard time choosing the right one for me because there were so many styles to choose from but with the help of my husband, we finally chose a stylish silver-framed glasses. I have been wearing it for a month now and I certainly have no regrets.

Mortgage Loans

We are living in a rented apartment so we're not paying any mortgage loans at the present. Still, nothing beats owning your own house so I have been browsing the internet for more information on how to get a loan. It's a sad reality that the only way most people achieve their goal of owning their own house is through applying for mortgage loans but with the tough times, who can really afford to pay their house in full nowadays? Add the fact that they say recession is looming so even paying mortgage loans are proving to be more and more difficult these days. That's why it's getting harder and harder to get a loan especially for people with bad credit financing and those who have loans with bad credit. But there's a solution to every problem and as I said before, if you have no expertise in that area it will do you more good than harm to get professional help. It's always good to know all your options before making that big purchase and expert help is just a click away.

Where to Find the Best Gadgets

All the different gadgets coming out left and right make my head spin! It came to a point I don't know what to choose anymore. Good thing I found this extremely helpful website GadgetAdvisor.com. The review of the best extensions for Firefox and the best Windows software made my choosing definitely easier and my computer life a little less difficult. And because of their Blaze Media Pro review, I know now what to use in converting my audio files for my transcription job.

How to Change the Look of your Home



Are you tired of the design of your home and want something new? They said repainting the walls is the cheapest way to change the look of your home, but painting sounds like back breaking labor especially to a stay-at-home mom like me whose only exercise is carrying the grocery and Z's bike up and down the stairs. I am done with curtains too, I have bought three different kinds of curtains for the past year and that's enough for me. What about the floors? Aren't you tired of looking at the same floor everyday? No, I am not suggesting that you change your tiles - that is certainly the expensive way to do it. If you have run out of ideas then why not add a rug? Adding Rugs is the fastest way to change the look and mood of your room. I chanced upon a beautiful collection of Cheap Rugs that are up to 80% off so maybe painting is not the cheapest way to change the look of your house, after all. There are so many rugs to choose from. They got Accent Rugs, Area Rug, Area Rugs, Bathroom Rugs, Braided Rugs, Area Rugs, Contemporary Rugs, Discount Rugs, Flokati Rugs, Floor Rugs, Hooked Rugs, Kids Rugs, Modern Rugs, Oriental Rugs, Persian Rugs, Round Rugs, Rugs, Shag Rugs, Shaw Rugs, Sisal Rugs, Wool Rugs - you name it, they got it. If you have no idea which rug is for which just click on the rug type and it will direct you to a nice description of what it is and where it is for. In no time, I am sure you will be well-versed with rugs and can find a rug perfect for every room in your house like this beautiful rug in the picture. If you are still having second thoughts their free shipping will guarantee you more savings. I am sure most families are feeling the economic crunch but if you are creative and resourceful enough there are still cheap ways to add beauty in your home.
