Holiday Plans

Having a kid makes you forget your travel dreams, that is while he is growing up. Yes, I put my desire to go somewhere else on hold until he's able to cope with it. Every destination should be consider if it is children friendly. We don't go to a place that doesn't have entertainment for my little boy anymore. Going to the shops mean checking out the pet store or riding the rides on the alley. But of course, those dream destinations are just pushed at the back of my mind. They will resurface when the time is ripe.Yes, I want to go to Europe, somewhere...

Postponed Plan

Our plan to go to the Philippines was definitely postponed. I found a job and it would take me a while to go for a holiday though the company allow 4 weeks of paid holiday.

I've kept on telling them that we will be there this year, unfortunately.. I couldnt see it happening yet. My father said that I could at least send photos of the little boy. I will!Well, planning a holiday entails lots of efforts. There's the...

Investment Talk

A few months back, our phone was ringing off the hook. The calls were for Mcj - the caller was trying to convince him to sign up to a stock trading business (might be like futures trading). He was on the verge of signing up already. He had filled out the contract while also doing some research about the company. He'd uncover positive reviews about the trading scheme, well that is for the system that they are using, not really for the company. He was tempted. But he found out that there is another company that do the same trading in the same...

Ease the Burden

I went home one evening carrying my laptop with me. And boy, it was heavy. It was late and my officemate and I were hurrying to catch the train and my 3 inches boots didn't help. Well except to kills the monotony. They were clucking the pavement away.The next day, I decided to wear the ballerina flat shoes that I bought just the day before last.

Christmas Gifts???

Christmas is more than four months away but we're already considering what would be our gifts to the little boy. I would love to give him live farm animals but he is still too small. He loves birds, cats, dogs, any animals or insects. Seeing one would snap him out of his grumpy mood. It's sort of hard to look for unique baby gifts for his age. But I reckon, this one will do. What do you think? It doesn't come cheap though but I told Mcj that if...
