From My Feeds.

Posted by: alpha on Thursday, July 29th, 2010

I got a few minutes to spare this morning and I got to check some friends’ blog. I didn’t visit the blogs actually, as I would just usually read their posts from my feeds subscription. Anyway, I came across several articles on investment, more specifically about gold. It got me interested and I was led to United States Gold Bureau. The site has a number of articles on gold and other precious metals investments. Aside from that you can also buy gold eagle coins, silver and other precious metals from them. And if you have other needs and questions about the investment, they have a group of dedicated personnel that are more than ready to assist you.

I think I will be sharing more in the next days. I just uploaded a new batch of old photos to Flickr. I just hope that our connection will cooperate. It has been unstable for the past couple of days.

Gold and Coins.

Posted by: alpha on Saturday, July 24th, 2010

Of all the items that I was able to unearth while I was decluttering, it was the old coins that I couldn’t seem to let go. I had to keep the coins as I have to make sure first that they are not valuable before I dispose them. I am reading about gold coins and bullion and it made me think if the coins that I have were of value. Anyway, speaking of gold, according to the United States Gold Bureau, gold as well as silver and other precious metals are great investment products. It is because gold is indestructible, valuable and can maintain its integrity through time. If you want to buy gold bullion or just want to know more about this type of investment, you may visit United States Gold Bureau.

Random.

I wish I could post something better and more personal. Aside from reading about hydroxycut, I’d rather spend my free time watching DVD’s. Blogging has been taking a backseat lately. I’m not sure but I am just uninspired to blog. Myabe it has something to do with my cluttered table. I haven’t crossed out a single item in my personal list of todo’s and I am getting overwhelmed. I don’t know where to start that’s why. Maybe I need to have our bebots meet up photos uploaded first. Seems like I’m the only who hasn’t shared pictures.

I Dread.

Posted by: alpha on Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

I dread the day that I am to organize my son’s playroom. Truth be told, it’s not actually a playroom but a catch-all room. So you can just imagine the mess in there. Add to that the piles and piles of books in there. I better start organizing or else I won’t be able to do it at all. I am itching to minimize his toys and books, but I decided to wait till Christmas is near, just in time when establishments and organizations are accepting donations. I should get a labeler, as well. I keep seeing a labeler whenever I watch a show or feature on organization on TV. So it must be a necessity. And while at the store, I might have a look on barcode scanner, too. A friend is need of a scanner for her new business.

Words To Live By.

Posted by: alpha on Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

* Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue.
* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
* Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
* When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
* We could learn a lot from crayons, some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors but they all have to learn to live in the same box.
* A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
* Happiness comes through doors you didn’t even know you left open.

A Date With C and J.

Posted by: alpha on Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Most of the bebots have already uploaded the photos from our meetup with balikbayans C and J, while my photos are happily residing on my camera still. Hopefully I can upload them tomorrow, that is if my load is light and I am not too lazy to do it. ;) No, I am not that lazy, it’s just that I choose my priorities. Sadly uploading photos has to take a backseat for now. I still have some free time during the day, but instead of going online, I would usually opt to just lounge around and do something that relaxes me, like watching a favorite series or movie on DVD. Also even if I have time at night, sleep needs to come first. Sure I can always resort to anti wrinkle eye cream for those sleepless nights, but nothing beats a good night’s sleep.

Cursive.

Someone’s learning to write in cursive. I have to buy activity books on cursive writing.

What To Do.

Posted by: alpha on Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

I still am not sure what to make of this blog. This was originally intended to be a personal blog, but since I am too lazy to re-post photos and stories from my Flickr here, I’d rather change the topic into something of my interest instead. Maybe I can make this about health and talk about colonix reviews and the likes, but I’m not sure if that’s interesting enough. Anyway, I hope to post nicer photos soon. I am visual person, I feel sad when I don’t see pretty photos on my blogs.

Life Principles.

Posted by: alpha on Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

You would achieve more, if you don’t mind who gets the credit.
If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for everything.
If you do little things well, you’ll do big ones better.
Change your thoughts and you change your world.
Don’t try to get rid of your bad temper by losing it.

List of ToDo’s.

Posted by: alpha on Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Mine is piling up. Of course, my personal to-do’s are all secondary. I have to finish all my mommy and wifey duties first and foremost. However, getting a new SSS ID {I lost my ID several weeks back.} is a priority and maybe check on social security benefits that I can avail while there. Anyway, I have been coming across a lot of good reads on the internet and I am getting all sorts of ideas for the house, thus making my list a little longer. But it does get me excited. I can’t wait to start on my recipe binder.
