School Daze

March 19, 2009

School Daze

1. Do you have children in school?
+ Yes! A kindergarten that will be in first grade next opening:) Excited!

2. Did you go to public school? If you have children did/do they?
+ I went to a public and private schools. It’s a long story. It’s because of my Dad assigned for work from one place to another and we have to come along. But I turned out fine:) My eldest will be going to private school because the husband and I have already talked about it. :)

3. Are you currently in school or taking classes?
+ Oh no..hopefully, I can finish my Master’s somehow! But not soon..

4. What level of education have you completed?
+ College Graduate. With a few subjects on my Masters. Not done with it though.

5. Do you, or did you have loans out for your (or your children’s) education?
+ My parents never had loans for me. Or that’s what I was told. :) I’m the eldest so, everything was most likely planned for my education. As for our kids, I hope we won’t have that..It’s early to tell. But the husband and I are doing everything for my boys! We are saving that everything will be great when it’s our time to pay huge tuition fees for them. Actually, we are paying huge amounts now even if my eldest is still in kindergarten! International Schools are quite expensive!

6. What are your thoughts on the cost of tuition for colleges and universities?
+ Expensive but I’m sure it’s worth it!

7. Did school prepare you education wise for working in the real world?
+ Not really. I don’t know what I was thinking. I was so lax in most times of my college. But no regrets!

8. Did school prepare you emotionally for what lied ahead?
+ Not really sure. But I remember our professors told us that it’s everything different in the real world!

9. If you ran a high school, what changes would you make?
+ Mostly on the teachings, education is really important but doesn’t mean you don’t know how to love and enjoy life;)

Happy days ahead!

Buying health stuff online

Buying online these days has never been this easy! I mean, I never thought about medical and health items that I can just purchased online without hassle! Why would I need to go to the actual store when I’m busy with other things? I was reading health tips a while ago. Then I came across this medical site where you can find almost everything! From baby products, wedge pillow, exercise equipments, daily living aids, some maternity care, and even ideas on how to stop snoring you can find at this site for a reasonable price! With more than a million customers flocking to shop at their online store, you can be sure they are accredited site that offers great deal! I was looking for milk products for peanut and saw this site. I also like it because they even have first aid kits for wound care supplies! Just making sure that you have all necessary stuff at home and need not to buy when crisis is there!

Technology

In the past week have you started using any new software, hardware or scripts?

+ I wish I did. I think none..

If so, what prompted you to do so?

+ None..

How has your experience been with it thus far?

+ I don’t know..lol maybe if I’m not too lazy the husband would teach me some of his stuff.

If not, are you less likely to keep up with technology?

+ I can keep up;) I hope!

Jewelry Sets

March 12, 2009

If you read my blog you will remember the 23 pcs jewelries I bought at my fave online store! I bought it for my siblings, aunts, cousins, and other relatives back home. I got a little problem with my Paypal so the seller never sent it to other address that I end up buying another items for them and got those items now. I think I will still give it to them. But when I saw this fashion jewelry sets, I just can’t stop thinking if I get a pair for myself and for Mom. Great deals and affordable that won’t hurt your budget that bad! Or maybe I will just look around first and save it for the husband when he want a hint of gift ideas;) Besides, 8 years Anniversary is coming up in a few months! ha!

Birthday Gift

I haven’t made up my mind on what I will give to the husband’s birthday. And to think that it will be next month. I was thinking of giving him another watch because he will really like that but then again, he got his dream watch already. And he told me he doesn’t need a new watch yet. I even joked that we will just spend the money for the Family Vacation that I have been planning. So far, I have checked the accommodations that we will stay. The plane tickets are already booked. I only have a few things to do and we are all set! But maybe I will just get something else that he will like. I think I still have enough time to think and to buy it! :)
