Good News and Bad News

I got both news today, bad and good. Where do you want me to start? I guess I begin with the bad one and very very sad one. Can you imagine if you lost one of your love ones? Can you imagine if you lost a member of your family? This will be the saddest news you can have. I even remember a very good friend who died last year due to cancer. Tears were even falling from my eyes as I heard the news from her sister. Anyway, as I went down to the kitchen this morning to take my tea time, HB already laid the newspaper where the obituaries are. My friend's father in law died. I immediately call her to extend my condolence and sympathy. I am also going tomorrow to attend the burial ceremony. That's the bad news my friends.

The good news is, my sister left a message in yahoo messenger telling me to take the best fat burner for me to lose weight before I go home for vacation this holiday season. I miss the yummy food back home. If I don't lose extra pounds now, I will be gaining more in my vacation. Not really a good idea for me. The best news is, our dear beloved youngest sister had already her visa to the US. She had an interview yesterday in the US Embassy in Manila. Now she is backed to Cebu and sent me that YM. God truly blesses her. I know that she deserved it. Good luck to her and best wishes to our family. Best wishes to everyone too!

Is This For Halloween?

I am not so sure if these flowers or decors are for Halloween or for Autumn time. whatever as long a I have some yellows today. I took this photo today in one of the grocery store I went to. Have a great evening guys! I guess I am signing-off early tonight. I am just so tired. I'll visit you back tomorrow. Thanks for all your visit here.

Poinsettia, Christmas Star, Euphorbia pulcherrima

Christmas is almost here. I am very happy that I will be spending home Christmas this time. I am also giving you some Euphorbia pulcherrima, also known as Poinsettia or Christmas Star. I bought some red ones before but it is the first time that I have seen pink colours. This was taken during our visit in a garden center. Aren't they lovely? I always love flowers that's why I love this meme. I wish everyone in advance a merry and joyful holiday season. I might not have time to greet you on time in December because I have a very long vacation next month.

Investing at Young Age is A Good Act

Investment can be in any form. It might be a house and lot that you buy. It can be a form of savings deposit in the bank, a security bond, investment bond, time deposits or can be a form of a life insurance. Would you believe that I also made some human investments. I helped my sisters go to school and to take degrees or studies. I am happy now that they are already done in college and I am proud of them. Isn't it a very good human investment? HB also made some investments. Hopefully next year, he can already have the return of premium life insurance which he have been paying for almost three decades now. We are hoping to have a better financial freedom in the coming year. I am also happy to have little investments back home. It is better than nothing. So young people out there, you better invest wisely while your young. The younger you are, the better for your future.

SS- Visit To Salzburg, Austria

It's time to share a photo for SS meme. The one I have here was taken somewhere in Salzburg, Austria last year. We just happened to pass this street during our sightseeing trip there. Winter is almost coming. I guess it is time to stay warm all the time. Have a lovely weekend to all!

Not A So Good News Back Home

I guess life is like that. It is like a wheel sometimes we are up and sometimes we are down. We are up because those were the times when we are happy and it seems that there are no problems on our way. We are down because we feel the world over our shoulders. This is also true when a family member is sick or any problem comes and it seems that we cannot find a solution to it. Sometimes I just want to remember the song, "Don't Worry, Be Happy".

I just felt very sad last time after knowing the result of the different medical tests of my father. There are some negative results especially the decrease of his red blood cells and the fibrotic changes in his lungs. I even have here the message from my sister which was sent to my mail last Oct. 12, 2009. Since we Filipinos always love our families, all we can do is to help when we can. I will try to translate next time this message below in English. For now, I want to wish you all good health always and stay safe all the time. I also need to search for good copper sinks later. More updates in a couple of hours in my other blogs. See you later guys!

Below is excerpt of the mail that was sent by my sister last time

Got Back Something

Good evening guys! I am still quite tired today until now. I woke-up so early this morning to take care of some very important things. Thanks God, that it was partially resolved. I also went to the bank and found out that the insurance company already returned back the money for my sister's travel insurance which we paid last August. I also asked some information for life insurance quotes which HB is trying to find out. My sister's visa to Germany was denied which is also the reason why we also asked for the refund of the travel insurance. We are happy that we got back our money. More updates next time. Good night and take care folks!
