Investing

May 1st 2013Family Matters & Money Watch

Investing is one thing that people with extra cash should do.

Why? Because wise investments keeps your money safe from being used to buy things that are not really necessary in your life.

My MIL invests in the stock market. She has a lot of stocks for more than two decades but it is only now, with online trading that she is perked up her interests.

There’s this person I know who buys gold and silver coins at the susan b anthony dollar at goldeneagle. They put these things in a bank’s safety deposit box for safekeeping along with their jewelry.

Me? I invest in the education of my children 😀

We Are Sick

Apr 30th 2013Family Matters & Photos

The hubby is, not me though there are times when he feels bad that I do feel bad too.

Sick

I hope this will pass soon because I am having cabin fever already and the summer days are just too hot.

Summer Drinks

Apr 12th 2013Family Matters & Photos

The heat is on. The heat is oppressive. We deal with the heat differently. Some go near bodies of water to cool off while some while their time away at the different malls that have been built at almost every block in the metro.

For us? We drink to cool off.

Summer Drinks

Ice-cold tea is one of the kids’ favorite drinks.

The light colored one has honey in it. Weird taste but one that can get used to.

Manila Cathedral

Mar 5th 2013Around the Metro & Family Matters & Philippines & Photos

The eldest daughter, when she was still at a young age, once told us that she wants to hear mass at the Manila Cathedral.

Manila Cathedral

One of the reasons she gave was because she said she wants to know if the organs in the mezzanine are being played during the masses there. She said she would, for once, listen to music being played there. Most churches use speakers like exciting celestion vintage 30.

I for one would like to hear music being played that way too.

St Vincent Church

Feb 12th 2013Around the Metro & Family Matters & Me & Philippines & Photos & Visualizations

The last time we went to St. Vincent Church, it still had unpainted interiors. Not that that was the last time I went to church, no, lol.

When we went to hear mass there last Sunday, it looked different because of the wall paint as well as the way the lights play on the walls and ceilings.

I would love to see the church with its door closed. I am curious how it looks like and if these massive doors (the doors look heavy and are decorated) have captive knobs.

Country Home

Feb 12th 2013Environment & Family Matters & Photos

I spent half of Saturday with hubby’s side of the family at this wonderful country house/resort in the mountains of Rizal province.

It was not really far because our family is used to going this way for road trips especially during Holy Week. It did feel far because of the traffic within the metro outskirts that we passed by.

The children enjoyed every moment. The adults did too. We were amused when one of the uncles brought out an imaginary Famous Smoke humidor and started puffing out his cheeks “like a boss” on vacation.

This outing was made specifically for the second birthday of the youngest member of the family.
