I would love a house looking like this one…

Don’t you find it cute? And it looks so homey even from the outside alone.

I also love this house’s facade. I would love this one, as well.

And now, this is my ideal bedroom…

I just don’t like the chandelier and the daybed. I would prefer that this become a real bedroom with a sofa bed or a custom-built bed for me but the windows, the curtain and the sofa are all perfect!

If you are an ordinary person like me and every member of my family, your options are limited when it comes to owning a brand new house. Home Loans, inheritance, and a windfall. The last two you don’t have any control over. Getting a home loan is the only option you really can do on your own, though still subject to the will of others.

Normally, when you apply for a home loan, get ready with the credit investigation. Make sure you know your credit score so you are confident about what you are getting into. If you have a bad credit standing, there are still some financial institutions willing to take the risk and extend a loan to you. If you have a good credit score, you need to know if you can afford a home loan. Are you capable of the monthly amortizations? Is your income more than enough to cover it? If your answer is a yes, the next step for you to determine is if you have the documents the bank or the financial institution will ask of you. Proof of income, valid identification (ID), and so on. Then, determine the amount you need and can afford to repay. And the amount of the property you are getting.

If you have a good track record and your income is more than enough, expect an easy processing and approval. If not, processing might take longer and sometimes, the loan amount will be decreased.

My family and I are thinking of getting a home loan next year. We’ve been planning relocating for years but something gets in the way so it gets postponed again and again. Hopefully, next year is the right time. Our income, my sisters and I, pulled together is really more than enough to cover whatever amount we will be applying for. We are all crossing our fingers that our home loan will have a smooth processing and approval.

Still my all-time favorite car… the Nissan Frontier! This one is the 2009 model. Look at that dashboard! I may be a girl but there are things that I look at in the eyes of a man

What’s your dream car?

My cousins are talking about different car accessories last night. Of course, they would. Their cars were victims of the past flood that hit the metro. Both have nissan cars and they’re going to rebuild it with the help of my uncle who’s a good car mechanic. They will be shopping for nissan accessories and parts tomorrow to start their “project”.

While I was surfing the web, I found CARiD.com which is a site offering accessories of almost all car brands you can think of. Looking for dodge accessories? Just go to the site and find it there! How about some ford accessories for your brand new ford expedition? You will also find it at CARiD.com! Go and visit the site now for more brand listings.

I will tell my cousins to browse the site first before they go on a shopping trip.

I easily get distracted. That’s one of my problems actually. Short attention span. For some reason, my mind tends to wander even when I am deeply engrossed with what I am doing. That’s why I often have three books with me instead of one. And there are multiple tabs open within my browser. It’s my quirk. And people close to me know this.

I also need something that I can turn to when I am feeling antsy with what I am currently doing. I always open CNN.com or People.com just to sure I have something I can read when my train of thought won’t run smoothly. An article will get me back on track for sure.

What about you, what do you do if you are distracted?

The item of clothing that makes us feel powerful is the one that makes us feel confident and self-assured, that magically makes us look our best in all kinds of circumstances.

- Valerie Steele

Fashion is supposed to make us feel good about ourselves. We should create our own, one that will make us comfortable in our own skin and not one where we feel self-conscious at all times.

Don’t you think?

Either we are inside or outside our homes, security should be a top priority. You hear and see that in CBS News every day. House burglarized because it was left unattended. Or vandalized for no reason at all. I am sure you don’t want that to happen to your home. I don’t want that to happen to me!

With adt wireless, you are assured that there’s someone monitoring your home 24/7. There’s a 24-hour alarm for burglary monitoring, and there’s an option for additional services for fire and carbon monoxide monitoring, and other emergencies. ADT has been doing this for years already so we can safely say they are experts when it comes to protecting our homes.

What I find really great about getting the adt security systems is that ADT has four interconnecting command centers. It was set up that so that should one fails, there will be three more that can pick up where the failed command center left off. Imagine handling 19 million calls a year… setting up four command centers is a great idea so as monitoring will never be neglected whatever happens.

If you are interested in getting the ADT wireless security system, go to AllHomeSecurity.com or call 1-866-483-9469 now. Remember, better shell out a few bucks a month if that would mean security for your home and your family.

When something really bad happens, you are left pondering what your life has become. I know that feeling. These past few days, I am looking back and studying the past. So many lives were lost in the past few days and it’s making me think of life. How unfair it is. How cruel it can get.

I am just thankful that me and my family were spared. But I am left saddened by the fact that so many families were not as lucky as us…

Sharing a room with someone else? Here’s a few tips to make communal living more pleasant:

Compromise: Talk about the things you love individually and draw a line to which all can agree to. From this, it would be easier to draft a look or design that everybody will like.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Be respectful of each other’s space. Even if you share the same room, it doesn’t mean that each other’s items are for everybody’s use.

Find – and give – some semblance of privacy: Learn to give high regard to each other’s privacy. Learn when to turn down a notch when a situation calls for it.

Segregate your stuff: It’s important to have separate storage space or even just dividers for each other’s stuff. You can make everything blend well together and still keep all items organized.

I am trying to save up. I have goals I would like to accomplish before end of the year and it entails a lot of funds. So instead of going out on weekends, I stay at home instead. In this kind of situation, I am thankful for the Dish Network Offers that my friend told me about. I can now entertain myself even without the need to shell out more money than what I can afford. At least when I stay at home, I can turn on the tv and entertain myself. I can even invite friends over!

You see, before the offers from the Dish Network I normally go out on weekends. Well, it just started a few months ago. I thought I might as well enjoy the sun during my rest days. But then a month ago, my sisters and I got talking about a possible relocation. You know, it’s time to get that ideal house. I am not getting any younger and I might as well start investing now. Thus, the self-imposed weekend house arrest of sorts. Hahaha!

My friend took pity on me and told me about the Dish Network Deals. Since she knows that I am a tv junkie, she told me that I can subscribe to Dish Network and get over 120 channels, including the local ones. There’s a free DVR upgrade as well as free professional installation. For only $24.99 per month, I can surf all I want and choose the channels I like. Call 1-877-499-2680 or visit their web site at USDish.com for more information.

This is for us tv junkies! Go and grab this opportunity if you can.

When you are a writer, you are your own worse critic! I guess that’s why I can’t finish the project I am doing for the past three years now. It’s still being revised again and again. At some point, I know I have to stop revising it, or risk losing it’s original point.

It’s just too hard to stop myself from cringing when I see a cheesy line here and there! Why I thought of that line in the first place, I don’t know. Probably from the love songs I keep on listening to while writing it. Hehehe

So what’s your credit score? Do the lenders deem you worthy of being loaned some funds? If you don’t know your credit score, learn about it now so you can either start protecting it or building it up. Or start fixing it, if need be.

You see, some people incur debts and pay it on time. Now, that will give them a positive credit score. But for those who default on their payments or encounter problems paying up their loans, a bad credit score will be the result. Your credit score and mortgage rates are dependent on one another. If you have a negative credit score, fix it first so the banks and financial institutions will be able to extend mortgage to you. Otherwise, you will continually get rejected. Fix it! Get the help of Credit Score Professionals so they can help you repair your credit score or help protect your credit. You need it. Trust me. I’ve been in a situation where I had problems with my credit standing and I am thankful I found a professional experienced enough with credit scores who helped me out.

If you need one, go to CreditScore.pro now and seek the help of professionals. Know more about credit score and everything related to it at their web site.

Rain is pouring down hard from where I am. Time to eat those hot and yummy ramen! Don’t you just love to eat hot noodles when it’s raining? This is the time where indulging with your favorite comfort food is okay…

Gotta love the rain!

In this country, it is common to hear about families migrating abroad. To seek greener pastures, to seek a better life. A high school friend, Jem, and her family migrated overseas back in college. I remember the first time we talked to each other when she’s already settled abroad. It was bittersweet. She told me that the reason why she wasn’t able to say goodbye to all of us her friends was because she took care of the international removals company who helped them move. Plus, she took care of the tons of documentation her whole family needed for a smooth transition abroad. I know that she’s doing great abroad and that she met the love of her life a few years after getting settled there. She now has a kid and her life is far better than what it could have been had she stayed put. I envy her that.

REMOVALS. It reminded me that my cousin and his whole family will also be moving to an Asian country. He’s offered a good opportunity there that he can’t pass up. Along with that work opportunity is the offer to try living there with his family. Great offer, I think. So he’s looking for a company who can help them move. He wants a hassle-free move even if he has to shell out a little bit more than usual.

I told him about Doree Bonner International. They are considered to be a UK Removals Specialist with over 90 years of removals experience. I know that Doree Bonner can help my cousin and his family with a hassle-free transition abroad, having a network of reputable and professional international removals agents will help a lot, of course. If I am in their position, Jem’s and my cousin’s, I would want a smooth and hassle-free move, too. And the company to remember for that is Doree Bonner International. Visit them at DoreeBonner.co.uk now for more information on their services.

Live life to the fullest.
Live the day like it’s your last.
Life is short.

These are just some of the things I often hear from people. I actually need not be reminded of this. I’ve seen death too many times in my early life so I can safely say that I know how short life is. When you’ve been where I’ve been, you either start taking life too seriously possibly snapping your mind in the process… or you start seeing life as it is, which is short. The latter making you seize every opportunity to live it to the fullest. I would like to think that I started seeing life as it is.

I am the type of person who is afraid to go out of her comfort zone. But I challenge myself to do so from time to time. Just to see where life will lead me.

Whenever I crave for something, I make sure that I give in one way or another. I don’t crave for anything on a daily basis. I just get these uncontrollable cravings from time to time. And when I do, I indulge. I believe I deserve it

Today, I am craving for a banana hot choco. It’s basically hot choco with a slice or dices of banana in it. Yum! It is a comfort food for me. Right now, I feel like having one.

I’m off to the kitchen for a while to whip one up!

Happy eating!

A friend I recently had lunch with asked me several times during that time why I insist of staying single. Well, there are so many advantages to being unattached. For one, I can go anywhere at the drop of a hat without worrying that I will be leaving behind a husband and a kid or two who needs me. I can go on a singles holidays without the guilt feeling that I am enjoying a vacation by myself! I’ve been known to feel extremely guilty when I leave my siblings behind. Imagine how I would feel when it’s already a husband and kids, right?

So anyway, let me tell you about the Singles Holidays from Just You. My friend has been totally stressed out from work. He’s handling three departments at the moment, training staff and developing a new company policy that will benefit the rank and file. Just imagine the pressure all those things are doing to him. He’s been looking for a getaway where he can leave work behind even for a weekend or a whole week and just enjoy himself. I am thinking of the same thing and he knew it so when he found out about Just You, he immediately told me about it.
