Stress Free Planning

I don’t know about you, but going on a vacation even before it starts was quite stressful for me but I am glad to announce that I am not anymore. You see, the planning of any big trip or even a weekend vacation is usually done by us, the “efficient” women, as the spouse likes to call us, so that they don’t have to make any decisions for fear of making the wrong one and getting blamed for anything bad that happens.

No need for any more stress because with TravelHERO.com, an online website, you don’t need to search from one place to another or haggle with the travel agency for good rates for hotels or car rentals. My next trip to San Francisco for a wedding is going to be a breeze because the various San Francisco hotels that I am looking at is narrowed down for me at TravelHERO.com. You can check the availability and book your trip online immediately. Need flight arrangement or a car for sightseeing? TravelHERO can help. And going beyond and above their call of duty they can even recommend local attractions and those that you must see and eat while you are traveling.

Working The System

I’m not self righteous nor am I an angel.. but somethings.. you just don’t do. Owning a store .. for more than 8.5 yrs.. we see all sorts of people coming in to return broken goods.. or after using them during a party or a weekend. I think we pretty much seen everything.. and every excuses and reason they can come up with.

Some ppl think that we are a complete sucker.. and by doing something as dishonest as returning broken goods wouldn’t cost us money.. because it is the store.. and not us personally. They cannot be more wrong and further from the truth. The store is us.. and we are the store.. whatever we lose affects us directly.

So when i called up .. to let the local grocery store know that they had overcharged us for something.. but in fact .. it was me .. who got it wrong.. and i could have gotten away with it.. and getting a refund.. i can’t do that.. because that is being dishonest.. and like the man said.. and rolled his eyes.. “you are gonna get someone fired” but nope.. like i said.. we can’t do that..! how can you eat stuff that was stolen right..? The moral of the story..?? Are you ethical..?? or honest enough to yourself.. and answerable..?

What’s Your Perception

Photobucket

It is funny how people would jumped in defense without really looking deeper into a situation .. or the blogging material and am so ready to wear an armor and defend their own kind. I was once upon a time this way too.. but not anymore… i always take at least a day.. to soak and decipher before acting on stuff now. Maybe i’m getting old eh.

It took me a few days to pen down my thoughts about the post about Asians marrying the “whites” and what exactly was on their mind. Maybe I worded it wrongly .. but my concern was the young Asian women out there .. coming here with hopes and dreams that may not come true. Marrying a foreigner is not your regular fairy-tale, Cinderalla story, some may not find your Prince.

As Girlie from HipnCoolMomma had pointed out that there are many successful union.. of the younger Asian gals.. and the older “white” man… and I’ve no doubt about it. C’mon.. i too am married to one.. and I too have a somewhat successful union (i would like to think).

This is not targeted to just the Filipinas .. but seeing a cousin advertising for her younger cousin of 20 yrs of age, sorta irks me. Maybe it’s the way it was worded..?? maybe because she is a beautiful young lady, maybe because I’m someone who marry a “white”. But life is hard in a foreign country. I cannot speak for others.. but i sure miss home like hell. In retrospect, I am very lucky and blessed to have met a good man.. who didn’t beat me up.. or grope me in public.. or swear at me.. or who is a drinker.. nor a gambler.. or someone who expects me to have a kid every year so we can all collect welfare. Basically, I didn’t get a monster for a spouse but what about those who “might” not meet the right guy ..??

Jamming Session

Photobucket

A used Rock Band came in for the xbox 360 and of course the brat had to play with it.. and since Keegan is good with “tar” .. so keegan needed to play too. Look how intense she was..!! and she did pretty good too.. when playing. I took a video of her.. to show her when she is older. But till now . .besides the banging on our keyboard – an electronic piano.. she didn’t show very much interest in learning a musical instrument. Oh .. but she did wanna play with Keegan’s guitar.
