It's the time of the year when we are being charged again for our premiums on our insurance plans. Truth be told, I need a good insurance agent who would remind me about these deadlines and would explain to me things like cd annuity rates in laymen's terms, since they are very confusing for me most of the time. In any case, I make sure my insurance is up to date.  With tragedies occurring left

For some reason, Christmas this year just doesn't feel as joyous as the previous years. Maybe it's because Christmas Day and New Year's Day fall on Sundays, which mean that there is practically no additional free day. Quite a bummer actually. While I love my work and actually like being able to don my discount scrubs and get into the OR, there are really times that you just want to take it

It really is not easy to shop for Christmas gifts when you just do not have the time to do so. I'm now doing a lot of my shopping online. While it may not be the cheapest way to do shopping, it may actually save me more in the long run since I am saving time and gasoline, not to mention my effort. I shop online, order the things I'm interested in, pay for it online, and it gets sent to my

My car was rear ended by a bus last Saturday during a bad traffic jam. My husband got angry with me for not reporting the matter to the police. I reasoned that at the time I did not think that it would help. Anyway, the car was not damaged much, just a little paint was chipped off and I really hate the hassle of going to a police station. But later, I realized that I may need some auto

Our little family took advantage of the long "Undas" weekend to take a short breather from our daily routines. It's not often that we get such a chance. We simply went to nearby Tagaytay via a short 1 and a half hour drive. We simply borrowed a relatives' house, did our own cooking. Our kids loved playing in the playground (free!) and it was so much more fun when it was cold. They were able

It seems like a no-brainer that one should not get involved with prohibited drugs -- to put it bluntly, they do bad things to your body at a high price and you develop a dependence to it. Getting out of it is not easy too, there are simply not too many drug rehab treatment centers around, and you do need to have some resources in order to stay there for the time it takes to try to clear off the

I feel bad that we do not have the budget yet to buy the things that we WANT. I know we should be thankful that we can now more or less finance out needs like food, clothing and shelter, but luxuries and wants like an all terrain with atv power steering, new cellphones and laptops and gadgets like Ipads are still not practical for us at this point. I'd like to think that we should sometimes "

Christmas is knocking on our doors, so some people have started on their Christmas lists. Now, more and more people are turning to online shopping as an alternative way to buy presents as people have less and less time to go shopping in the malls. I like that, actually! It's a lazy person's (like me) way to shop. You do not have to go to a mall, park (which becomes even more difficult at this

One of the reasons why I could not log on as often as I want to (and hence update my blogs) is because a little person has been elbowing me out for position in front of my laptop. I'm pretty proud of him, actually, because he was able to google video games. Good thing he plays games like Angry Birds and some puzzle games which are not only safe but I think quite beneficial to him as he was able

I think that in a marriage, husband and wife should remember that they are partners in life. That everything they do now impacts the whole family unit, whether it's just the couple, or if there are already kids, even the kids. That's why we have to check on our strengths and weaknesses so that we can let the "expert" do what he/she does best. For example, I have very little knowledge about

Ask any couple who has gotten married on what they would advise people to spend on and many would say that you should get a good photographer. And it certainly makes sense. Memories of that special day captured by a seasoned raleigh wedding photographer would make better keepsakes than random shots by amateurs.

I've been a bad blogger lately. There are just so many things happening lately that I could simply not keep up. Between an increased practice workload and increasingly hard-to-keep-up-with kids, there are just so many things I want to do but can't.

In one of my mailing lists, an online aquaintance was very disappointed with a helper that she thought was trustworthy but had stolen small amounts of money from her. It's really difficult to totally trust people these days. But then it's also difficult to do everything ourselves because, let's face it, we are only human and cannot do everything ourselves.  One of my worries is leaving my kids

This month was such a busy one for me. Last week was especially busy as I was preparing for my son's birthday. No, it wasn't a big celebration, just dinner but it turned out to be a bigger production than I thought it would be. I like to think that we raised a kid who was also practical. We asked him if he wants a bigger celebration next year, since he will be turning 7 by then. He said

Everybody has a different view of a good vacation. Some people love looking at historical sites, touring old churches, buildings and landmarks. Some prefer the great outdoors, perhaps the beach with various water activities, some prefer hiking or mountaineering. Other people would prefer modern delights like amusement parks or for the older sets, maybe a casino. Still others prefer to relax

Almost all Pinoys dream of one day owning their own hearth and home. But sadly, it's a difficult dream to achieve. I've been looking at ads, and if I find something that's suitable for our small family, it's out of our financial reach, even if I check city payday loans, PAG-IBIG loans or bank loans. Sigh.  If I find something that's within reach, I'd find that it's located far away from the

I sometimes wish that we had one of these digital converters! It will be very useful for us. My brother used our VHS before, using old tapes over and over again, but now, our recorder/player has broken down and I don't know any place where it can be repaired.

Do you know that insurance companies ask for more premiums if the person who wants to be insured is classified as a high risk life insurance case? For example, smokers command higher premiums than non smokers; the elderly also get their insurance premiums higher than those in their twenties, and people in high risk occupations like soldiers, policemen, firemen and others who have a higher chance

I do not know of anybody who doesn't dream of owning their own home. I am one of those people who am still holding on to that dream, although through the years, that dream has been somewhat downsized. I used to dream that I'd have a big house with a big garden, plenty of room, located near the places I frequent. When I started earning, it became somewhat farfetched. A townhouse seemed more

The downside of the hi tech world is that there are also hi tech ways for savvy criminals to steal your hard earned money and even your identity. If you're often online, you've probably heard of phishing emails to get your personal information. A healthy dose of mistrust over suspicious emails could easily counter such, but now there are even more ways for hi tech criminals to steal from you.

In an aim to be frugal, we tried to be the ones to personally take pictures of our kids' birthday parties. It was fine for the home parties, but since we were the hosts, it was pretty difficult. Sometimes we even forget to take some shots.  And that's quite sad, because photos are irreplaceable. I guess the more practical thing would be to enlist the help of relatives or friends.

What's practical for some people may not be so for others. At the cemetery, people may be weirded out by the sight of outdoor fireplaces near a family mausoleum. It may not seem practical at all, especially in this country with the hot climate and in a place where people don't actually live in. But for Chinese, it is.

Is it practical to send flowers? I used to NOT think so. I mean, flowers eventually wilt. So what used to be an elegant arrangement which costs a lot would end up in a trash can in the end. But that's the "practical side" of me speaking. As a women, I still get a thrill when the husband gives me flowers "just because".  And I love it when they're red.  It means "I love you" and what wife

My husband was telling me that one of our anesthesiologists moonlight as an alajera -- she sells jewelry. Not being very familiar with jewelry prices, he was pretty taken aback when he learned about the prices. We both agreed though, that for about the same price as a high end ladies' bag, jewelry is a better investment. You can get cash for gold, because it is a finite resource and has

Ask me about an eotech 552 or a guitar amp or car repairs and my eyes would glaze over. There's a big chance that whatever the price is, I'll think it's too expensive. That's because I am not aware of the prices of these things. Same as men who wonder why women have to spend 6 peso figures on a handbag (but it's Hermes!) -- they don't see how a handbag would be worth that much. The value of a

I've always told younger relatives not to take courses just because it was the "in" thing but to take it because it's something you can imagine doing for the rest of their lives. Sure, there was a time that information technology degrees were the hot courses, as there was a great demand for it. Then the nursing courses.

When I was still in training as an ophthalmology resident, I was so excited to buy my equipment. At that time, eye centers were not commonplace and most ophthalmology practices had the doctors buying their own equipment. They were major purchases, I tell you. And I was advised then that it's best to buy while I was still in training because prices go up every year. Years later, I do regret my

If you are employed in a company which offers an option for life and/or health insurance, better grab the opportunity. That's because the policies offered to companies are usually cheaper since it's by the group rather than by a single individual. As with most things, insurance policies are cheaper if it's wholesale. Most insurance companies have that option for group insurance. If your

Hubby and I were sick. While I guess we dropped a little weight, I wouldn't recommend it as a weight loss solution. I'd still go for the conventional exercise and diet, and well, maybe read up on hydroxycut reviews. Getting sick is no joke! We can't work -- thus no income since we depend on being there and actually seeing patients in order to earn. I have to hide from my kids since I didn't

More and more moms are going the WAHM (work at home mom) route, taking on freelancing jobs and/or setting up online businesses. This is now possible because of plenty of resources like instant messaging, emails, skype, megameeting.com web conferencing and other tools which make working from home much easier. Some companies are now finding that having employees telecommuting ultimately spells

One thing we learned the hard way is not to buy too many products that have no service centers here in the Philippines. We have an old laptop which is not a brand that is popular in the Philippines. When we encountered some problems with it, we had a difficult time having it repaired since it does not have a service center here.  That's probably why we do not see RV's around, there's no rv

There are so many group buying sites nowadays. I've featured a few of their deals here on this blog. Everybody loves a bargain, and group buying discounts usually give deep discounts off rack prices and very tempting offers. Lately, there have also been some unusual offers, like discounts off cosmetic surgery procedures, LASIK procedures on top of the usual food, massage and travel deals. I

Only 1 week left to go! Pacquiao, dubbed "The People's Champ", once again has a fight, this time with Shane Mosley. Manny Pacquiao captured the imagination of the Filipino people when he emerged from being a skinny newbie boxer to one of the greatest boxers of all time.

We just finished submitting our 2010 income and 2307 to our accountant for proper income tax filing. My husband and I have irregular income so we pretty much have some difficulty knowing how much we earn on a monthly basis, until we actually list everything down. What appalls is that we actually don't have much money left over after paying for expenses! That's why we're always on the lookout

I really hate being in debt, because to my mind that means that I have negative balance of money. But sometimes we couldn't help it, because there may be times that urgent situations call for urgent solutions. This is a time when I can say that credit cards are definitely an asset!

Every uber successful business spawns a lot of "peripheral" businesses. Remember when cellphones first became so widespread that everybody, including the household help has one? Housings, cases, ringtones etc. became hot businesses. With the advent of laptops, laptop bags and sleeves also became hot tickets. Now that iPads are "in", people who manufacture or sell iPad Cases benefit from this

This is the time when I am so glad I have my Petron BPI card. Not only do I get rebates on my fuel purchases, I also get a 24 hour price shield whenever there's an increase in fuel prices. But the fine print is that the price shield only applies to 40 liters of fuel. So it's still better to fuel up when you know that there's a projected price increase. You'll end up saving more. Other

A few days ago, we noticed that there was some dirty water seeping from the floor to our breakfast nook. A whiff told us that it was probably sewage water. First order of the day was to ask MWSS to "suck" the septic tank. My brother called them up, and one day they came with a big truck, and with a metal hose, they suctioned the dirty water from the sewage. We spent a little over 800 pesos

Early this week, we experienced a power outage which lasted for about an hour. Our neighbors were ready with their yamaha generators while we had a couple of rechargeable lamps and some candles (can't afford the generator). While the rechargeable lamps were quite safe, the candles post a fire hazard.  Over the past month, I've heard of fires in Metro Manila in which is, ironically, the Fire

Almost a year ago, I had a minor accident involving my car. I was so shocked. I didn't see her car before it appeared before me. The rear of the other car and the front of mine collided. The driver of the other car said that it was my fault and I really thought it was, therefore I decided to pay the damages. Good thing I had car insurance. The damage was just minor scratches on the car.

I wish people would not look at people wearing summer Ladies Hats like they were weird because these are actually practical accessories in our sunny, sunny country!

With all the trouble that's brewing in the Middle East right now, I really do not think that this is the right time to consider being an OFW, if you're not already there. Sure, jobs over there, whether it's a health related job, a finance job, a construction related job or a job in the hospitality segment, usually pay higher than the same jobs over here, and under normal circumstances,

My brother's wife is due to give birth anytime. They are currently trying to enjoy the last of the days of just-you-and-me time together, and that's good. When you have kids, things just change. Priorities shift, and the little bundle of joy always comes first.

I'm so glad that I'm never really overweight. I've always been within the ideal weight for my height. On my son's family day, there was a "BMI assessment" being done by one of the booth sponsors, and I still passed. Well, they still tried to convince me that I needed their product because I told them that what I needed was a lower ab workout rather than an overall weight loss product. I am

When I was younger, tattoos were a bit of a taboo since most people who sport them are criminals. Nowadays, that is no longer the case. It is already fashionable, for both men and women, to have themselves "inked". Remember, though, that a tattoo is permanent. While there are ways to remove them at some future time, like lasers and the best tattoo removal creams, it would take money.

The advent of groupon sites have certainly been beneficial for both consumers and business owners. Now, consumers can get deals on various stuff, from services to get rid of blackheads to a much raved about buffet, at a fraction of the price.  For businesses, it's a way to get the word out AND get more customers, even if they have to give up a bit of their profits.

Whenever I'm out and I need a little snack, I usually pick up a popular juice drink containing propionyl l carnitine -- mainly to ease my guilt about eating junk food specifically the chips that I am so fond of.  I guess it's a better than softdrinks which contain much more sugar and no other nutrients.  At least my juice contains some amount of vitamins, less sugar, and an ingredient which is

I have to admit I get a little exasperated when some patients attempt to self medicate and just go to the doctor when things go very wrong, especially when it's the self remedy that worsened the situation. On best way to get rid of pimples, well, there is really no clear cut answer. It really depends on what the dermatologist finds. Same thing with conjunctivitis. Pinoys have this annoying

The problem with being either a professional or being an employee is you earn your keep actively -- that means that if you stop working, the income stops. What if you suddenly cannot work? Like if you get old? Or sick? Or laid off? These exit signs (well, except for getting old) are sometimes not expected at all, so if you haven't invested or even put aside some money, you might be

While I would believe that a gift is a gift is a gift and any gift would be really appreciated on any occasion, you do have to consider how the gift would impact the recipient. For example something you buy at the le creuset sale would be a great idea for a wedding gift when, presumably, the couple is beginning to build a household together.

It's not easy for me, a girl, to buy gifts for guys, even if I've known them all my life. Last Christmas, I had to wrack my brains thinking of a unique gift for my brother who's into guitars, basketball (I'm not, so I really do not know what to buy) and gadgets (I am, but these are certainly way out of my budget) and another one for my other other brother who has other interests which I do not

It's no secret that many bloggers earn from keeping their blogs. There are several ways and many people have welcomed this chance to be part of "the new media" and earning from it.

And it's not because I haven't found sleeping pills that work -- in fact I'm starting to get sleepy -- but because this is almost the only time that I can work in peace without interruption from my kids.

Remember the cellphones around 10 years ago? At that time, cellular phones were just starting to mainstream as prepaid cards became available. Texting also became low cost alternative way to communicate. Telecommunication firms found a new market: the lower income segment who previously couldn't afford having a cellphone now found that keeping in touch became something they could actually

I know I've not been a very good blogger lately.  I had hoped to be even more productive during the Christmas season, but that didn't happen.  The holidays turned out to be even more busy even if we took a short break from work.  The kids were both home since my schoolboy didn't have classes. That means that it's difficult for me to do other stuff like blogging, let alone look at computer

What did you do as a welcome to the New Year? We DIDN'T have firecrackers. Since hubby and I are both doctors and we've seen a lot of firecracker injuries up close and personal during our stints in the emergency room, we decided that it was just not worth it. It's like burning money. And with 2 small kids, we just do not want to risk injuries. We did make noise though. My cousin gave Baby R

My family went on a short (just overnight) getaway to Tagaytay. To keep costs down, we stayed at a relative's house rather than at a hotel (in all honesty, it was the thought of free accommodations that clinched the decision to go). We just had to bring our own bedsheets and light blankets (my mom brought a cashmere throw).  We would have saved even more if we didn't eat out.  We're thinking

Sometimes the closest peoplt are the most difficult people to give gifts to. Not only that, we often buy gifts for other people first before buying for those close to us. I find it more difficult to think of gifts for my husband and oftentimes I am tempted to just pay for whatever he fancies, within budget of course. But that takes out the surprise factor and admittedly, a large part of the

The past few days have been a whirlwind of Christmas parties! Needless to say, I was not able to attend all of them. My gosh, just the amount of food would drive me to check out hydroxycut hardcore x! But the main reason why I wasn't able to attend most of them was conflict of schedules. With so many days in December, I do not know why most parties are scheduled on the same day. Anyway, for

Since our condo unit is so small, I was contemplating on buying in a contemporary sofa, preferably a sofa bed, rather than the classic antique type sofas which would more likely take up more space.  We ended up not having to choose any.  It just happened that my brother-in-law was getting rid of his old but still ok sofa and putting in wooden furniture, so we decided to just get their old set.

Tis the season for shopping for gifts! I see it in the crowded malls, the holiday traffic, the mad rush for reasonably priced gifts (because the Christmas list just keeps getting longer and longer and longer every year!) I like giving gifts that I am sure will be used by the recipient. For example, I just recently gave a pack of diapers as a baptismal present because that's what I am very sure

I've always wanted to go to Palawan but haven't had the chance to do so. I found Palawan expensive! We've only heard about how romantic it is for a honeymoon, with nature tripping, romantic dinner with romantic outdoor lighting and beautiful beaches...but we opted for something else because our budget did not allow for it.  Now here is a chance for people who have been wanting to go to this

My Dad used to buy gold coins for us for our birthdays when we outgrew toys.  I think he got it right.  It was so much more practical than some useless novelty gift.  If and when my kids become old enough to appreciate their value, I'd probably do the same thing.  Gold never gets out of value.  It's easier to carry around.  It's easier to pass around (you can just give it to somebody else as a

My skin has never been great especially when I hit my twenties. I had some derma visits before but it was pretty expensive twenty years ago (ugh, showing my age here)and I couldn't maintain the visits, not just because I didn't have the budget but also because it was not easy to find time to go to the derma (ask any med student how his typical day is like and you'll get why).

We've always been told that it's always prudent to diversify our investments. There are some suggestions nowadays about it being best to buy gold bullion instead of the usual stocks since the latter is very volatile right now. After all, gold does not really change its value over time and is highly regarded in almost all culture. However, like any other investment, we don't want to plunge into

People always associate December (and the weeks leading up to it) as the buy season. That's because Christmas season is here and people buy a lot for Christmas gifts. Because this is a month where people actually buy more, it makes good sense to do business during this time. Almost anything that could be given as gifts make good business. Be it clothes, jewelry, toiletries, perfumes,

Medical emergencies can happen anytime. A lolo suddenly suffering chest pains and difficulty of breathing. A lola who suddenly fell down the stairs. A baby suddenly having seizures. These need emergency medical assistance. However, we do not have a 911 facility like that in the USA.Lifeline Rescue has a 24/7 emergency hotline. It's 16-911.
