I am happy to have a connection with my father yesterday. He is thousands miles away from me and I am happy to talk with him once again. It was his 76th birthday yesterday. I am always wishing and praying for more days and years in his life, good health always, love, peace, contented and happiness.
Thanks a lot dear Father for all the great things you had showed and taught me. I hope to see you all again next year. God bless you always. God bless us all!
This months seems to be a very busy month for me. There are a lot of things to do both online and offline. As a blogger, I need to always update my blogsites and as a homebody, I need to do some things at home. I am just happy that January ended as a great beginning of 2012. There are a lot of good things that we need to be thankful of.
I am also happy for many wonderful things that are happening at the moment. Despite of some trials and testing last year-end 2011, we are thankful that mostly everything are slowly having solutions now. Life must go on and I always believed that “At the end of the tunnel there is always a light”. Thank you dear Lord for everything!
It was so far another dream come true! The trip we had in Spain especially in the region of Andalusia was truly a fantastic one. That 8-day trip from December 5-12, 2001 was truly a wonderful and memorable one. We saw a lot of places including Seville, Granada, Cordoba, Toledo and Madrid.
I fell in love with this country and I can’t wait to see it again on March 2012. Yup, I already booked my plane ticket and I am ready to visit it again. This time, I will have more time to explore Spain’s capital city of Madrid since I will be staying there for over a month.
See you soon again Spain!
The Plaza Mayor in Madrid, Spain. I was so happy to visit this country.
I am not really happy with it. This advertiser must pay me last December 2011 for some advertising in my blogs but it seems that the person in-charge is just ignoring me. Actually the deadline for payment should be Dec. 15, 2011 but until now, I haven’t receive any payment yet. I already sent a lot of reminders through emails for the past weeks but still he is not replying to it.
What I did today was I sent some messages to their CEO through their website. Here are some of the words I wrote them.
“Dear Mr XXX,
First of all I would like to apologize for sending this message here. I should normally not but it seems that Mr. XX has been ignoring my previous reminders about the payment for the ads in my blogs. The reason why I am directing it here.
Please find below the previous mails I send to Mr. XXX. I hope that this will be settled very soon.
Thanks in advance and I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Sincerely,
Ms. XXX”
When I checked my inbox tonight, I found out that Mr. XX already replied to my message. he mentioned that he will take care of it immediately. Imagine more than a month of waiting?? I can have some patience but there are just people who are very unprofessional. I hope to received the payment soon so that I can buy a new lens for my DSLR Canon camera.
Cheers!
I had been asked so many times how to make money in the internet. I am not an expert but I tell you guys you can make money through a lot of means online. You can make money through blogging. I read online that you can also make money with your facebook and twitter profiles. The latter, I still don’t know.
I already proved that you can make money through your blog .First of all, you have to create a blog. Whatever topics that interest you, you can always write it in your blog. If you have interest in cars, house and home, gardening, travel, photography, family, computers or you may create a general blog where you can write all your hobbies and interest, you always have the choice to do it.
How to start your blog? I will share about this in my next post. Happy blogging folks!
Winter is truly here! I believed this is not a bad winter. I love the winter now because we really don’t have a lot of snow compared to the past winter we had. Even without snow, you still have to wear winter clothes especially when you are outside the house. It is not a problem for me because I already have a lot of winter stuffs from jackets to pull-overs, winter boots, gloves and other winter accessories.
Living in Europe for more than ten years now, I can already adjust the four seasons of the year. Keep warm peeps!
It was so far a lovely and wonderful Christmas celebration we had this year 2011. We celebrated with with friends and we joined together for a feast with lots of foods on the table. I am very thankful about it. Thanks to all good friends around who are always there for us in good and bad times.
Merry Christmas everyone and a happy new year too!
the foods that we shared with friends last Christmas. Thanks for all your friendship guys!
How was your Monday? We are quite busy with the little clean-up that we are currently doing in our attic. I guess it is not little but a big thing to do. There are just a lot of stuffs in there and we are trying to check what things we can dispatch or throw away. I started with the empty boxes, papers and plastics. Hubby did the electronics and other gadgets that we don’t need anymore.
We also dispatched our old dryer. I never use dryer after washing clothes. I dry it in its natural way. During summer, I hang it outside and during winter time I hang it in the attic and when it is a bit dry, I hang it near the heater. It’s not really bad besides we already save a lot of power and electric since we’ve been doing it. Thus saving some bucks from it. It is also one way of saving Mother Nature.
We will continue tomorrow with the clean-up. I hope we can finish it all before the end of the week. Enjoy the rest of Monday!
It was a very busy Saturday we had today. It was not really stressing but there are just a lot of little things that needs to be done before holiday comes. Oh yes, we are slowly getting ready for holiday season. I am happy that I finally put-up our Christmas tree today. I also did some household chores. I did laundry for four times today. Dirty clothes, bedding, curtains and other laundries that need to be done. I also did some cooking at lunch time.
I am quite happy and contented because I did accomplished a lot of little things today. Photos of our Christmas tree to be uploaded very soon!
Have a wonderful weekend!
For now, we are trying to budget everything from grocery shopping to water, electric, gasoline for our two cars and other controllable expenses that we can try to control.
We went a bit grocery shopping last Monday. After picking-up the grocery items that we need, we finally go to the cashier to pay for it. There was an old woman that came first on the paying counter. I did not saw any grocery items that she laid on the cashier. I heard her asking about cigarette packs. I was surprised when the cashier scanned all the items, the old lady paid almost forty euros for ten packs of cigarettes.
After paying all the grocery items that we had, I told hubby about the old woman. “Imagine we only spend around 25.00 Euros for our groceries and here is an old lady paying for almost 40.00 Euros only for burning her lungs. I guess she has a lot of money.
With the economic crisis that we are having now a lot of people are losing their jobs. We are also trying to tighten our belts to get into our budget. Besides we are happy that we had already paid most of our debts now especially our house mortgage.
Lastly, I can only say that we only need to live according to our means. A simple but happy life is better than having all the luxuries but you have all the stress and headache in thinking where to get the money in paying all your credit cards and other debts. Happy for those who have no monetary problems at all. Also remember, life is not all about money!
Take care folks!
