Everyone is looking for a deal, even me.

It never fails to amaze me how confusing, and complicated things can get when you’re looking to buy a large item. I am talking about a mortgage for a house, loan for a car or a boat, you know. You start shopping, and one thing leads to another, before you know it you have a headache.

How about one stop shopping! Regardless what you’re looking to buy, get a premium on, or invest in. That’s good news; someone else has already done all the search engine stuff for you. You only need to click and look at the rates you might be interested in.

Someone has done all the foot work for you, and they have new leads for you everyday. Looking for life insurance, auto insurance, homeowners insurance on one site is easier than surfing the web all day. Everyone is looking for a deal, but finding it is the question, how do I find a good deal?

Wedding Bells and more……





Yesterday July 25, 2009, was the wedding date for my friend. I was one of the bridesmaids. It was a long day, but I will try to make this short. First thing in the morning I went to get my hair and nails done. Came back home, waited for my friend to arrive, cause she was going with me to the wedding.

This friend that got married was a co-worker of mine at the Post Office. She still works there, and I resigned in 2004. Any way it was a simple wedding at her house, but it was very nice. The arrangement was just wonderful. It was in her back yard, with about 100 people in attendance.

There were a lot of my co-workers there, and it was good to see everyone. Plenty of food, she had a pig, and Filipino food, as well as Mexican food. Her husband is Mexican, and she is Filipina. So there was chile, rice, and tamales, it was all good. Lots of drinks. The cake was so beautiful; it was a 3 tier, with rose pedals on it. That went with the dresses, table clothes, chair covers, and the rest of the decorations she had out in the yard and inside her house. My hubby and I have had large parties before, and you can tell that they did not hold back on expenses. They really went out and made it very nice!

I would have to say that the flower girl stole the show. Her name was Brooklyn; she was just over 2 years old. What a little girl, she did karaoke, and danced, so cute. Another attraction was my friend Elizabeth, and the bride has little dogs. Well they dressed them both up in a tuxedo, and a bride dress! So they matched the bride and groom. We had karaoke downstairs, and dancing upstairs, it was a good time for all.

My Computer got a Virus

Since last Friday my computer at work does not working because I got a virus. I do not really know what it cause me but I had AOL, Blogvertise, Friendster, and my outlook express on my surfing internet. As what the last I did, I was getting the code from freindster to download; my computer was out and could not get the program I am working on. I could not open the internet anymore. I called our computer technician, she told me to try full scan and see what happened but it took long to scan so I left at worked. On Monday when I came back to work my computer still not working using my Boss‘s wife, while waiting for our computer technician to come. My boss’s wife used come to work handling the collection but since we have enough people in the office, she prefer to stay home with her grandchild or shopping. She trained and let one of the girl handle the collection processing. I was using her computer because no one using. I stay away surfing internet because I do not want to let them see I internet usually, besides I shared the desk and they can see me up and down. We have a technician doing our computer if there is a problem, she will try to do the remote first instead of coming in to the office but last Monday she came in at the afternoon tried to worked on my computer but our power went out can not do anything, our son boss let us go home early since the power will back up at 6pm. Tuesday morning the computer technician kept calling what my boss has to say if he want her to fix my computer but the response have to wait, the technician charged per hour the labor, we told her we will let her know if some reason could not fix our own, we will call her. One of our sales man know how to work some of the computer so he tried to worked on , he transfer my file to another computer and reboot my computer and it fixed. Thanks Goodness! I am in trouble if does not work. The only problem I have after he fixed my computer that my scanner would not work if I attached scan to email , other wise everything works ,also I am waiting for our sales man to be back so he can download my anti virus that we had as of now I have to be careful because is not protected.

The Carburator joke

The car won't start," said a wife to her husband.
"I think there's water in the carburetor."
"How do you know?" said the husband scornfully.
"You don't even know what the carburetor is."
"I'm telling you," repeated the wife,
"I'm sure there's water in the carburetor."
"We'll see," mocked the husband.
"Let me check it out. Where's the car?"
"In the swimming pool."

How much water do you use a day?

Ever wonder where the water you use comes from? Do wish you could save water? Some of us live where the rainfall dictates how much water we will have during the year. Some of us live where the snow fall when it melts will give us water. Some of us live where we get water from another state, from a river that flows to us.
In this day and age we all need to do what we can to conserve water. A new way to start is getting a dual flush toilet. This design will help you save anywhere from 15 to 20 thousand gallons a year. That’s a lot of water. A dual flush conversion kit is easy to install, and you can keep you same toilet!
Where I live there are signs all over reminding us to use only the water we need. We had a drought here about 5 years ago. It was really bad, we couldn’t water the grass, we had to learn how to save water. Now you only get water in a restaurant if you request it. Those days of getting a glass of water with your menu are over. It makes you think, how much water do you use in a day?

Are you covered?

Yes I am talking about auto insurance. Recently here in Colorado, car insurance went up for everyone, because a new law. Our insurance went up at least $40.00 per month. One day out of the clear blue sky we received a letter from our insurance company that there would be an increase.
Auto insurance is always expensive, and it’s important to have. It’s especially important when there is a theft, or damage claim to your car. That’s when you find out how good your insurance is. Will they process your insurance claim fast, and efficient?
If you are not happy with your current auto insurance, you can always get a car insurance quote online. You should probably check anyway to see if the auto insurance rates you are getting are fair. There may be a better deal out there, so check to may sure you are covered and not paying too much

Proud I'm a Dual Citizen

My friend Joy accompanies us last Sunday went back to Colorado Springs with my two kids taking oath of our Dual Citizen. I am so proud that I belong to two countries now. Joy accompany us was so helpful, she do not mind of taking picture on her camera she was our photographer. Joy could not seat with us in the front only the applicant’s oath taking. About 30 people did the Dual Citizen, mostly I do not know them except Aileen was the member of FACC that I know her was there too. We sang two national anthem, the Philippine and Star Spangle, the two women sang the anthem has a beautiful voice made me feels so proud of my two country. I had enjoyed meeting with Ruby the president of Fil-Am Community of Southern Co. Springs and her staff Grace, Nida &.etc... They are very polite and nice to talk and shared the laugh. After receiving our Dual Certification, we took a groups picture, the area was not big space because of the crowd. Everyone squashing and pushing to each other that everyone wants be next to the Consulate General Wilfred from San Francisco. The Fil-Am Community also celebrating the Philippine Independence Day. They had a free barbecue, games, vendor, entertainment, at the same time doing oath taking for dual citizenship applicants held at the Fountain Creek Regional Park of Colorado Springs. We had to fall in line because there were many people. Joy, my kids and I ate was sat at the grass that no chair to seat and was so hot. Were going to say goodbye to Ruby and her staff, seen the group of the Fil-Am Community was dancing we watched, came the next Tinikling, and Hawaiian dance. Every time have a Filipino gathering can not get away without the Electric Slide dance, here me and Joy dance along with other people that we don’t know. We still want to stay more but my son was grumpy wanted to go home, at the same time were leaving, Grace taking Consulate General Wilfred and his staff to airport that they flying back to San Francisco. Hoping will see them back in October at Denver. We appreciated and thanking the Philippine Consulate of San Francisco and his staff was here to serve issues of our Filipino community. Guys, if you or anybody interest that needs to renew their Phil. Passport or Dual Citizen if you could wait, instead hassling go to California spending more money for the trip, the Phil. Consulate from San Francisco is coming back in mid of October. Please visit my blog occasionally; I will post more details once I hear from the member of the Filipino club regards of the Philippine Consulate coming back to Denver … Mabuhay ….
