Chasen Dreams

I’m kinda hooked on household financial planning…well, as if I have a choice.   I do keep the purse, consequently,   it’s my task to make the ends meet.   Lucky me, I have a very cooperative husband who’s enthusiastic to earn but too afraid to burn cash.    Would you believe that he can survive with a P1000 weekly allowance?   I offered to increase it but he declined.   Fine.    I’m thankful that we are on the same journey. To attain   financial freedom, I do the following: 1.          I list down our daily expenses.   I track my spending down to the last centavo.     By doing such, I could easily trace where our hard-earned money went.     It also shows us whether   we are living below our means or not. 2.        I create a monthly budget and I stick to it.   3.        Before paying Meralco, S...

As promised, here are my wedding photos.          Next: Cebu-Bohol Photos

Boylet and I are not    techie.   We don’t have the latest gadgets. We are already fine with our   Acer Laptop and with   our low-tech phones.    We both classify Iphone and Ipad as “Idon’tneed”. (However, gifts are welcome.)   I’m not sourgraping here ha.   I respect and understand those who are into gadgets.    We have our own penchants.   Besides, we could afford them if we wish. Hihihi.   Since I am married to a bookworm, Kindle was the only gadget that I wanted   until I found out about Sundroid Rush. I’ve been a   Sun subscriber for four years.   Like other subscribers, I am not that satisfied with their customer service.    My first draft was a rant against Sun Customer Service. However, I   believe that my blog is not the proper venue for complaints.    So, I’ll just showcase my new phone and tablet from SunCellular. photo source I got them as ...

You all know that I am a   big fan of scents.     As I have told you , I would rather shell out my hard earned money for a flacon of perfume than to buy a pair of shoes.   But now that I’m already a missis, I resolved   to go easy with shopping for personal wants .   However, my scent addiction has not yet been rehabilitated.   Now, I’m raving for home scents.   Since lighting    an oil burner is not that safe, I go for fragrance diffusers.   I tried brands from SM and Robinsons but   they didn’t meet my expectation.   I also tried Zen Zest.   I hoarded several bottles when they were on sale.   In fairness, our entire house smelled divine.   However, when it was brought back to its original price, I had second thoughts.    I find the price steep.   The small bottle costs P250 and it only lasts for two to three weeks. I was reading reviews of different fragrance diffusers when I stumbled...

Last week, my facebook news feed was flooded with cheese.   “Thanks jowa for these beautiful flowers echos echos with jowa at   shushal resto.”   Oh…sweet. For real, I find it sweet.   Hehe.   Although I agree with Atty. Bingbong (a friend) that Valentine’s Day is a marketing tool of flower shops, restos, hotels, motels etc. , I still like the idea of guys buying something for their girlies.   I still like to watch macho guys carrying  a bouquet of flowers. And personally, receiving flowers makes me feel loved and beautiful and most of all, proud. Haha. Last Puso day, I did not receive a bouquet of roses from Island Rose.   There was no candle lit dinner in a fancy restaurant.     However, I did not feel kawawa at all. The reason?   We are saving for something bigger than a plate of steak.   We are saving for   a condo unit similar to the photo below. This is  a model unit. The actual unit will b...
