Preparing for Christmas

It is the first day of September and with the BER months coming means the start of the Christmas season here and the weather will be cooler hopefully. Our neighbor has started preparing for Christmas by cleaning their home for relatives abroad coming home to spend their Christmas vacation here. I saw the mother bringing out some stuff from their basement which their are arranging to put other stuff from another room in the house for the guests.

She was even mentioned she was looking for a basement dehumidifier as they have been having a problem with their basement as this place usually has poor ventilation so its cooler there resulting to higher relative humidity and the end result of which is the dreaded mold! I just learned that molds can harm our health causing migraines even worse effects are respiratory problems. Not to mention the unwanted musty smell it produces. Come to think of it, I have been looking for a dehumidifier too for our room. I heard it also help reduce the workload on your air conditioner. We also have some sort of allergies that attacks us upon waking up. Must be the aircon, molds, dust and other possible allergens in the house. Need cleaning too in preparation for Christmas as well.

Nikon Lens F2.8G 24-70mm Travel Coffee Mug

Finally after finding that Canon lens mug, Nikon now has their own version of that quite deceiving mug.

This is the Nikon Lens F2.8G 24-70mm Travel Coffee Mug… This is a lens mug and not an actual lens.

There is one selling this at Facebook for P2,200 ONLY. Well that’s about $50. Would I buy it? Maybe not yet though it would truly be nice to have one. But given the price, I’ll just buy a few more mugs from Starbucks with the cost of this mug.

Here is the description of this Nikon lens mug: Read the rest of this entry »

Getting Cold

The weather may be particularly hot during the past few days but during night time and early morning, we notice that the weather is really getting colder as the Christmas season nears. The BER months starts tomorrow. Right now it is really cold here inside the house. I remember years ago when any of my sisters would get to travel to the summer capital of our country, they would buy us cardigans and knitted sweaters for which they are famous for. During the Christmas season, that place glows with cool winter breeze and while whole year round the weather there is really cold compared to the other places in the country.

Some of the sweaters we used to have looks like these ones I have found but these are for men which are of signature styles since I am looking for a hand-knitted sweater for dear hubby which he can use in their office since it can get really cold in there with the computer servers needing a really cold temperature to work and function efficiently which is of course really important in the operations of their company. Getting him a new sweater will be good just in time when the weather here gets colder in the next few months.

Early to Bed, Early to Rise

Early to bed, early to rise indeed. While for some sleeping at around ten in the evening is already late, for me and the kind of work that I do, that was still early. So when I got the chance to finish work early last night and since the little boy has already slept earlier, I decided to reward myself by sleeping two to three hours earlier than my already usual sleeping hours.

Now since I slept at least two hours earlier last night, I also found myself waking up at quarter to five in the morning and ready to start the day about two hours earlier too. But it is bed to rest early and I should keep that in mind for it is good for the heart!

Invest in Bullion

There are various investment options available for any investor in the market today. You can own gold either in coins or bullion plus it can be in silver and platinum as I just recently learned. Each kind of precious metal investment though presents its own pros and cons for the prospect investor just like what is expected with any other investment opportunity that you could get into. One should certainly seriously consider the options available. It is hard to dive into something new without any knowledge in it. But then again interesting as it is and being a unique investment, they say it is a good investment to invest in bullion rather than investing in the monetary types that is being offered out there.

Rest and Relaxation

Rest and relaxation are two things I want to do when I get a break from work. Though there is more work waiting which I am so grateful for but I need a breather somehow and catch up on a little sleep or should I say make up for less sleep over the past few days that is. A trip to the beach in the island across the city would be a good thing to do for rest and relaxation or even just being able to visit my parents would be a great diversion for now especially for the little boy. Okay I got to do more work for now. Thank you Lord!

Cheer Up

Here is something for a dear friend who is going through tough times with the passing of her dear hubby. I hope she will be able overcome the trial she and her family is going through even at this time. Time will heal the pain and we her friends can only pray that she will have more strength to move on not only for herself but for their child as well. I feel sad I was not able to visit her hubby’s wake but I was only able to offer some prayers for her departed husband and her family yesterday.
