Twilight and Buffy


For all Twilight and Buffy fans out there... you'll love this!

I am not really a fan of Buffy... but I am so addicted to the Twilight series. But a friend of mine who is addicted to both is crazy about this little clip! Kudos to whoever did this video clip.

Aging is not a good thing



Aging is not a good thing... I can't believe how these actors could have allowed these drastic changes to their looks. It's their looks that made them millions of dollars. I guess men are not concerned with their looks as the women are.

Pierce Brosnan, Richard Gere and Brandon Fraser are among my favorites...

Home Furniture


One of the best things about buying or moving to your new home is buying and furnishing it! Everything just has to match and everything has to be brand new. I am so used to buying my furniture from Ikea before because they are so cheap and easy to mix and match. But now that I have invested in a home, I might as well start investing on good and stylish and elegant Home Furniture that is not necessarily expensive. I mean I don’t have to furnish it all right now and all at the same time. I can do it little by little so that it won’t hurt our budget.

Famous quotes from Maya Angelou


  • Achievement brings its own anticlimax.
  • All great achievements require time.
  • Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.
  • Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.
  • Effective action is always unjust.
  • I believe that every person is born with talent.
  • It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
  • Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.
  • If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
  • If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.
  • Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.

Investing in real estate


If I won the lottery, the first thing that I will do is buy investment properties. I’ve always wanted to own a parking garage or an apartment building. I think the apartment building will be a little harder to manage compared to a parking garage. So I am also thinking of contacting Real Property Management to handle everything for me. They will find me tenant, handle all maintenance services, monthly collections and even the legal aspects of it. They will also handle all accounting and regular inspections of the property. Why do it myself when I can hire a professional to do it for me. I mean that’s why they are there for over 2 years.

Furnishing a log house



When my MIL was here, she was looking for some rustic furniture for her loghouse in Tagaytay. She found some stuff that she really likes and is hoping that she would be able to find similar stuff back home. If only shipping wouldn't cost as much, we would have bought it and sent it to her.

Log house


My MIL put her retirement money into developing the lot that they've own for years in Tagaytay. She now has a log house. Now that she and my FIL are retired, they go there every week to get some fresh air and away from all the traffic and pollution in the city.

Last time we were there, we didn't get to stay overnight at her log house because the storm just blew out all the electrical wires. But we've seen the place and its very lovely and cozy.

We are just glad that her dream vacation home has finally came true! After years of working hard and getting assignments from abroad, it finally pays off.
