We finally decided to send our tot to early French program class which could run up until Grade 3. We enrolled him today and he’s going to attend another school in the coming fall. Lucky as well because the school is nearby, close to the mall we frequent for our groceries, and there is no way to miss TV plates sometimes in case I get tired cooking, which happens all the time. I cook most of the meals but I hate to plan what food to cook. It seems that few of my plans on the list for the year are already settled. Except getting a job, I know that I’m not alone in this battle and sometimes the pressure of not landing to one is kinda subtle to keep. As I said, I’m not alone or many are also having the same feeling.
See I just rant about insurance quotations, and now I’m discussing it sincerely. I mentioned that when I needed an advice of anything I will seek for it in due time and not through the phone ( I hate telemarketing). Whether I like it or not I should and must see a car insurance advisor, I will be looking for numerous auto insurance quotes before the next winter will fall. I am now sold with the idea of having a car. This is because of harsh winter here. We had a terrible path going to school under the forces of snow fall.
I have never been at home like this past 3 years and doing only house chores and kid, and nothing interesting to do but the routine day to day boring chores. I feel I’m losing my senses, it’s not me, I always work like making money, now I’m stuck at home. How I wish I could go home to my first country to see my family out there. I been out of the country for more than a decade now. I have had visits to my parent home but those are purely business and no real happy heart talk to my family and friends, enjoying the food or go shopping. No wonder I’m too bored, a decade solely spent for career improvement and no R & R. It should be the time to go back home before my son will enter to proper schooling. It bleeds my heart because I really don’t have money. God I want to cry.
You must be wondering if there is new vocabulary about youth. We can say it that way, when it comes to youthfulness we can always create like no end. It is like we wish that we could stay young all our life, and if the fountain of youth existed that would be a secret to locate. Like this words youthology review, ring a bell? My birthday is coming that is why I’m feeling edgy about my being almost to the ladder of , don’t make me say it, I could not spell it out, and I’d rather spit it out. Human nature of getting old is really sucking us dry like prunes. I think I’ve already tried most of the moisturizers on the shelves cheap to expensive. In the next few months I will be buying the most expensive moisturizers in my pocket. I know that fighting forces of nature I will gain little chances of winning but little is big enough to see the difference.
It’s been almost two years now since I bought my dearest beloved PC, and lately my freakin’ mouse is dragging my brain out of the pad. Its kind a lousy this time, I guess I need new mouse that stick to the pad. I thought that it will last a little longer specially that I spent so much bucks of this tenderly beloved PC of mine. This technology really is a depreciating investment. Am I suppose to say thank you because all those past 30 months I did not even spend anything big except for the anti-virus that needs to be updated every 360 days. Gracious may, I’m indeed bored because I am ranting to this minute detail of my lousy life. Mannn, this mouse is terrible.
What would be the worst sign that will tell you, you are old? There is no secret that as much as possible we have to whisked the aging away from our path, hardly it will go away but run with us as we grow old. We may use the wand of moisturizer and collagen to soften the skin and pressing the wrinkles out. But how about the body aches, particularly our joints, back and all over our body. Now I’m suffering back pain, well not with joints yet. I could see myself will be like my grandmamma who has joint pain. Though we have joint pain relief medicines but when aging is the cause, does this really help? Well, short run remedies always works, like my fusion eucalyptus oil and salicylic oil works together sometimes.
Be one of the pizza volunteers, if you think that you will be volunteering to eat pizza, in fact you will but beware it’s not smorgas. Another wonderful day, I spent my lunch break helping my kid school with their monthly pizza lunch activities. As expected we had pizza consolation after the job. Eating pizza was not really my purpose, just realization about extending hands when it’s free. I am truly bored these days, especially after my schooling. I could lend more hands as long as I’m allowed to bring my tot with me.
The word hemorrhoid freaks me out when I was teen, this may not be unusual to few who suffers from this especially my uncle who bleeds terribly when it’s irritated. I don’t really know how it started or what form until I got pregnant to my son. Hemorrhoids are actually not an issue to most pregnant women but it scares me because I don’t want to have it. Unfortunately, I was bestowed of the most horrible thingy underneath. My body reacts to the unusual and I begun to bleed and could not sit. It was operated in clean cut and now I’m back to normal. It must be one of the fastest cures for hemorrhoids. How terrible it was for my uncle to suffer that much, I hope he got it operated. If not, gosh he is brave.
Most of us are dreaming when in deep sleep. Dreams they say that it’s just a pigment of our imagination, or we likely dream of something relative to the thoughts we think before we fall into sleep. Most of my dreams are likely coming from the last scene I have seen and thoughts before sleeping and mostly coming from TV programs and from the Internet. But every time I dreamt about tragedy and death, it always comes true. It’s not necessarily the specific person in my dreams. They were sometimes my relatives, friends and even my parents’ friends. I have probed these tragedy dreams almost 100%. Three weeks ago, I have dreamt that my parents are in the middle of the accident. Most of these dreams woke me up early and often I could not doze back. I called my Dad about it, then he told me that my Aunt (mother’s sister) have been to a road trip accident, thank you God she is safe though with broken arm.
Then, last night I had a terrible dreamt about my university colleague who died. I woke up straight to the computer and rung my Dad. I was scared I don’t know how to start the conversation. But my Dad broke the news that his beloved best friend who suffered from colon cancer just passed away. God rest his soul. These are just few of my tragic dreams that majority led to reality.
Are your body not fit yet? Don’t tell me you gain extra weight because of Valentine’s Day chocolates. Hooo, it’s not an excuse. Stop lying to yourself or maybe you still love the idea of wearing your baggy clothes, as if you are pregnant. Or, just say that you are infanticipating to get rid of the guilt. Are you avoiding reading some of alli reviews? You go guys, start freaking’ about your bulging tummies. Starve and starve it doesn’t work, eat and go with the proper diet regimen not die.
Rules eh! Being a parent is not a picnic. A party is appropriate. With kids we have to set rules from kid divine creativity and laughter to time out. Rules seem no end but keep on adding until the time when the kid starts to set rules by him alone every time he makes a deal or so something on his interest. Our son sometimes says “I need to pee you have to watch me going to the bathroom and remember that’s the rule”. Ha ha ha, it means you listen to what he is asking. Actually, he is scared wandering to dark bathroom, he has to turn on the light and do his business. Yes, he is bit independent in some point and of course you have to watch him as one of the rules.Are you familiar with CRA? Man, I thought that I read a lot, I still don’t know something. I mean more. Pardon me, Ask me about Finance or economics I could give a try but clinical terms, nah, I’ll just pass, but not today. We are so concerned about our weights heavy or light and muscles. We should also start learning about CRA or conjugated linoleic acid. This particular nutrient is one of the most important elements that help our body loss fat and pack lean muscles. Well, you’re probably familiar or have read these facts if you’re buying diet pills, it must be written on the label.
Man, I have never been crazy cheering with any Olympics. Since, I was moving from one country to another for the last 11 years. My last Olympic craziness was in Sydney, I am one of the lucky who enjoyed the games. Then now, Winter Olympics in Canada my country. I am definitely not over yet with my youthful cheers in front of the TV. This time I’m not lucky enough I am cheering only in the comfort of our home and not in Vancouver. Every time I watch any of the Canada team competing, I felt like I’m the one who’s playing, that intense. I bet most Canadians do. Team Canada!!! I Believe.
Are you still struggling to shed the holiday’s weight gain? I know this line taste bitter than eating to draw down frustrations. Personally, letting your weight down lighter than the weighing scale is no buffet but purely determination. I just hope that you haven’t tried even in a second thinking “what if I will zip my mouth”? Are you kidding me, do you think it will work? Shut up, I mean I shut up. I have few ways how to reduce belly fat, I tried these many times and it always works. Here we go, no or reduce chowing rice and pasta or anything high in carbohydrates, eat more vegetables either stir fry, boil or blanche, less red meat, fruits, more water with occasional sweets. I also tried milk, water and fruits only for a month, yes just a month.
It is almost three years now since we moved in to our new found beloved country. I have been dreaming to own a house and foregoing the renting. All those plans are totally cross-out of my future checklist and may be jotted later probably in the next 10 years, hopefully, yet doubtful to be realized. The reasons are property taxes are way too high, home insurance and maintenance. How much would be the worth later? Since the economy is expanding definitely to a positive high. Now, I am more into self-indulging of what is good at the moment than planning later that likely led to debts. Well of course, you must have financial plans for kid education and savings. Now, we are renting an apartment, no car, and little savings and definitely zero debts, and tight healthy budget. That is, spending with sense. Always count how much is coming to your wallet and be extra alert for every spending especially splurging for shallow luxuries.
My younger days were not as fun as other kids enjoyed being young. We had happy family days of course but most of the time we help the family in the farm. I, my cousins and friends thought sometimes that rich people have doorbells so that it’s easy for them to know that someone is coming and knocking with finesse. While for us poor who live in houses without gates, when our relatives, friends and neighbors who wish to see us will only shout our name. Yes, I said it. You got to shout out the name of the person you wish to see. I mean, you live in the farm and expect that the chickens will answer to the call too. Hoooo, memories just ring my doorbell.
I met many people particularly fussy, mostly they’re fussiness is irritable, annoying, shallow and meaningless. They’re just bunch of annoying brain sucking individuals. Fussy people should live alone and should never bothered people who don’t understand they’re mostly small meaningless pleas. You not only find these people in the stores to shop, you can find them on the bus, subway, pathway, parks and to those places where you usually want to be alone. It is like speaking of the devil the devil will come. Really fussy eh, and do not forget to count it also happens in the laundry room. Great man, I hope they’re not going to use menopausal syndromes is the cause because it is overrated. I am fussy also but I keep it to my family and I never ever bug others.
What detox? This is my reaction, because the word detox is new vocabulary to me, especially I am not familiar with clinical terms. Luckily I have this opportunity to read something about it. rapid detox is one way of flushing drug elements from patient body particularly looked by drug addicts and alcoholics who want their system clean in short period of time, hoping to live a normal healthy life. If I were one of the patients who’s given two chances to choose either the typical wellness treatments or the rapid detox. At the moment, I will go for the wellness treatment and may be for rapid detox if it is fully publicized that it is safe and reduce the occurrence of side effects. Safety first is more important than rushing the cure.
I have read in the Internet today about” when are we supposed to change our shoes” after many kilometers of walking. It’s mostly about snickers or rubber shoes. I love shoes, who say no might be walking bare foot. Funny eh! Yes I love shoes but I only have few fairs particularly seasonal shoes. Right now, I honestly only have one pair 10 years old rubber shoe. I could not use them anymore because it’s already smiling every time I lift my foot. I have no guts to throw them away for sentimental reasons. Like, it is my ever first signature shoe purchased by my own money and new. I mean, I got few rubber shoes before but all were hand me down. Many times I sent them to the shoe repair shop because buying new one was out of the issue in fact do not ever asked or mention to buy shoe. Yes, we really are so poor. We’re still poor, yet now we could already afford to buy shoe anytime we like. My being poor all my life helped me spend money wisely and prioritize spending. My purchases this time are mostly for the apartment, hubby and our tot. For me, seldom in sometimes I splurged.
How many televisions do we really need at home? I know many of my friends have at least 3 televisions. I only needs one, just one and it’s enough. First is, I watch TV less frequently, I don’t allow TV inside the bedroom and definitely not in the kitchen. Our TV is only for our tot to enjoy and watch cartoons and for us news. Well, we could change our TV after we dispose the old one, besides we don’t have space at home. I mean, actually we could mount them to the wall. It’s just that one TV is enough.
It’s been more than a month since the last time I had been to downtown. My son is already missing the subway and bus rides. There is nothing to do downtown when you have no money to spend. I don’t like window shopping it tortures me, besides we need to start saving for the next big thing to come. I don’t know what it will be, it could be another surprises. So far, the last time I checked the local TV, there is nothing unfamiliar things, thought we have winter fun on-going. We will probably pass this year’s winter fun, it is real cold outdoors and I’d rather nap. Yeah, yeah I’m a real lazy bum.
Growing up poor and working but just enough to live. There are things in my life that I intend to just dream about and some other stuff that I have worked so hard to get. The latter one is mostly realistic and I’m also not materialistic. There are things that we could afford to buy, but my being simplistic and wise spenders ditch those things out from my brain. I am more into reality checking and sensible planning. Like, the educational plan for our kid, little by little savings for emergency and don’t think about that your accumulating savings otherwise you will spend it to senseless buys, invest in life insurance especially to people who always travel. My hubby is the one who is working and stay outdoors most of the day, I asked about his term life insurance rates. At the beginning I thought that it’s expensive, actually each annuitant has each own customize plan, of course that would depend on the coverage of the insurance. There are different types of future financial plans available to each client. So, better start now. If piggy bank works for you, then that’s a good start. I don’t like it myself because I end up whacking the figurine for shopping.
I was so engrossed of my double dipping article, while the other side of the coin I totally forgotten that my tot is waiting for his afternoon snack. Few minutes ago while walking home from school, halfway home I asked him what snacks he likes to eat. This 4-year old smart bum said, “we are not in the kitchen so don’t ask yet”. Those words made me laugh out loud accompanied with motherly push. Yah, why did I ask? I am way too organize and love to plan ahead to kill more surprises. Indeed, I was surprised. At home we are, since I left my article half-bake, I go straight to my computer and blew the blahs. Then, I heard my son scavenging the snacks cabinet and saw him carrying some crackers.
Bummed Mommy: What is that?
Smart bum: You’re supposed to do it, not me.
Bummed Mommy: I’m sorry, I had a little detour.
Smart bum: What tour?
Bummed Mommy: Just tell me what you like to eat and stopped playing smart.
Smart bum: Can I have mountain dew?
Bummed Mommy: Don’t push your luck.
Who is going to deny the humongous collection and selection of Amazon books? Definitely not me, in fact, I used Amazon as my info to know if my favorite authors published new novels. I haven’t had any chance to shop at Amazon for techno reasons. I have wishes though if cash is acceptable, sadly not. Lately, I have been busy at home and even knowing one of the bestsellers to be added in my collection, I could not do it. Soon, I will be back on tracked reading my books and start book shopping all over again.
