This is nice. Though the place is 1 hour and 45 minutes ride from where I live. I am still happy that Starbucks is finally opening one here in Bicol region. For sure a lot of coffee addicts are happy now. haha! I am not coffee drinker but I still love Starbucks. Weird feeling right?
I hope they are also brewing one here in Legazpi.

My nephew is feeling homesick in the US said my brother. He kept telling them that it is better at daddy’s house which is here in the Philippines. I got sad when I heard that he is not happy there. I think it is just today. He is adjusting to the new environment and I am so sure that he’ll blend in there soon. Plus he will go to school there and meet other kids. What my brother did to help him adjust is to buy him toys… lots of them. And also go to beautiful places like the Universal Studios in LA and the beach. My brother also plan to buy him a Peg perego at Kids Wheels. This will surely make him want to stay there. haha!

A friend of mine who just graduated from a two year course in college is looking for a site which he can enroll in a university in just one click. He wanted to change his educational goal right now after taking up a vocational course. Well, he won’t worry no more as I found a site which he can research online degrees which best suits for him. This is an all in one site. He doesn’t have to go to another site for other choices of school, degrees or whether the school maybe online or campus based. Isn’t that a great idea? Wow what a great site it is! i am sure my friend will like this site that I am going to recommend to him tomorrow.

Happy Scrapping everyone!

I am still thinking about our financial standing as of today. If it is ok or do I need to double time at work. My husband rarely talk about money at home. So I have no idea on what was really going on. Now I remember to ask him tomorrow about this. Are we ready for the coming out of this baby? Can we handle the expenses during my giving birth? These are all running through my head right now. And I hate the fact that I will have answer not until tomorrow morning. Of course I cannot wake up my husband and say let’s talk about money. I am not that stupid. LOL!
All I can do right now is to search the web for a possible money earning work or investment. I saw a post at my friends blog that buying gold coin will add income to your pocket. Investing in these precious metals are safe and secured. Gold are a hard asset for an investor. I think I have to read more information about this matter. This really catches my interest.

… from me today. Maybe if I have time later I can squeeze a little time to scrap and make a page. I am behind to my CT duties again. I hate it when Mr. Mojo leaves me. I want to scrap but this laziness is overpowering me. I hope this will pass. Please Mr. Mojo! Please come back! I really need you right now!

My cousin is pestering me to find a good beauty school on the internet as she intend to enroll in one. She is really the type of person who will work in a beauty parlor. She loves to arrange hair in a very weird way and put make up just like the pro when we were a child. She loves to play everything about beauty. And now that she is a grown up already she is pursuing her dreams.
I guess if she enroll herself in a beauty school in Wichita then her dreams will come true. But of course we are so far from that place right now. But if she insist her parents can work it up. That is up to them. I am wishing that her dreams will really come true. Well at least close to it! Good Luck my dear cuz!
