We had a guest from India yesterday and we were talking about his kids and that he said they live in a small village so the kids get to be on the street playing after school. These days, when you hear kids playing at the street, it’s sort of like a luxury and hard to achieve. I try very hard for my kids to play at the playground in front of the house. But we don’t do regularly. We just can’t. It just reminded me when I saw at PlaytimeUS.com childrens playground equipment that really, children need to play. With increasing technology development, we can’t help but introduce kids to digital games. Hopefully, I’ll be able to strike balance between playing ooutdoors and digital games for my kids. … Read entire article »

I am not an entrepreneur but from time to time I would be thinking about what would be good investments these days. I really don’t have that much to purchase a property or a piece of land yet, but I was thinking if to buy gold coins at Golden Eagle would be a good investment.

We will figure that out. As to giving gifts, I have not thought of anything yet, but I hope to use those bath & body works coupons to get myself gifts to pamper myself with! … Read entire article »

Last week, I got my first pay check after a million years of not getting any. The past ten years has been a stay-at-home thingy for me. I don’t have any complains though. My kids are now more independent and thought I already could go out and start working again. I am glad because I really need to pay my debt. LOL. But I guess for two months of working, I’ll be able to pay off everything… I hope. Going back to work for me is a real blessing. I thank God that the opportunity to do so just came knocking on my door. Otherwise, I would have just been staying at home. I am glad that through this, I could be a blessing also. Indeed, we are blessed to be … Read entire article »
