Purchasing a home is the lynch pin of the American Dream. After all, that white picket fence, dog, and two kids, wouldn’t make a lot of sense without a special place to call home. For first time home buyers, the process is almost a rite of passage, while those with previous experience can use shopping for a new home as a tangible way to measure their success. However, whether you are a fledgling buyer or an old hand, understanding the process of purchasing a home — and how the Internet has improved that process — can be enormously beneficial.

I have tons of work to do when I get back. I think the first thing to do when we arrived home is to do some cleaning and grocery shopping because the next day would be classes for the little one already. Then I have to go to different government agencies which I am not looking forward to. But before all of this I have to endure the flight. I am not looking forward to it because being on the plane for about eight straight hours always give me aches if we are flying via economy. I choose economy to save some money 
Oh Lord, please guide me on our trip.
A few days back while we were strolling we found a store that has some guitars for sale and I was surprised to see when our daughter pointed to us a guitar for kids. The husband inspect it and said it’s in a good condition. Our baby then told him that she wants it so the Daddy bought it for me. When we were home they played together. Actually she does not know how to play yet but she wanted to learn. So I told her that when we get home I would enroll her in a guitar lesson in the school in front of us. Hopefully they are still offering the lessons. Then I also plan to enroll her in swimming lessons for summer. I do have lots of plan for her so it would be busy when our vacation is over and we are home!
The husband has been trying to tell me over and over again that what I am doing right now is already a big help to him. He tells me that I have accomplished a lot even if I am not working. He would say this when I would have some moments of being unsure of myself and what I wanted to do. True, I don’t want to go back to working on an eight to five job. I know how stressful it is and I think after all the freedom I get without being bounded by time, I cannot just stay inside the office for eight straight hours. But I wanted to have a sense of accomplishment. Last year, I think I already know that blogging would take a back seat to me. I already explored it and got what I wanted. Now, it’s time for me to move on and do something big. Like starting to mingle with the real world. hahaha. So I told the husband that I would do some experimenting and research this year. We have a pet project that I would like to test and right now I have an idea on how to go about it. I am excited to do it and hopefully it will bear fruit. Wish me luck!
If I wanted steel rings should I look into different group buying sites or just search the internet to find the right supplier and talked to them. I think that is more reliable because today it came to my attention that there are some group buying sites that does not honor what they have advertise in their site. One example is the buffet that is being offered in one of the new and popular establishment in Manila. I remember when I was planning to watch the Sound of Music, my sister told me about the ongoing promo wherein the ticket valued at Php 2000 is just being sold for around Php 300+ which also comes with some cinema tickets and Php 1000 voucher to be used in the casino. The offer was tempting, imagine at that price you get to watch SOM. But my question is where will you watch it. What seat would you be occupying. Weeks before that offer was made I already checked the seats available and unfortunately almost all VIP seats are sold. And those seats are the ones that cost Php 2000. I don’t think that this coupon would really have you seat on the VIP. I think that at that time it was false advertising so I did not avail it. I am really cautious when buying something from this group buying sites. Or should I say I did not buy any stuff from them yet because my philosophy is that if you want something why not indulge right? Save for it so that you can get the best. Sometimes if you avail a service through a promo, you cannot demand anything. That’s my two cents of course. Others may not agree with me.
We are down to the last twelve days of our vacation and I am quite sad about it that I am lazy to move around. I know this is inevitable but still my heartache knowing that we will be leaving the husband soon and it would take around two months before we see him again. But I am excited to go home because I have a lot of plan. I need to do a lot of things and by the will of God I can find the courage and strength to start something that would take us closer to our goal. Also, the husband has already said that we can go to Boracay this summer. Before he does not want to go there because according to him it’s a bit crowded but now he said okay. If things feel into place I would be looking for a good hotel. According to him, don’t mind the rates just make sure it’s A-okay!

Two more weeks and we would be flying back home. The husband has been trying to convince me to let him upgrade our flight from economy to business but I told him I can handle flying via economy. Oh please Lord, let this be true The upgrade would cost an estimate of Php 45k that’s why I am hesitant. I let him upgrade my flight in our previous vacation because it does not involve money, he uses his miles for upgrade. But now it’s a different story. So I stand firm in my decision to save money. haha. And we are now planning our travel plans for the current year. As of the moment we decided that he would go home on March in time for the moving up ceremony, then on July also. The next half we still are not sure. Of course this plans are subject to change. lol. I am so thankful that somehow we got transportation allowance every year.

This is one of the lines of the my daughter’s song in school. It’s one of the songs they would sing during their circle time as a way to put them in the mood for learning. Today, that is my question. It’s the start of the weekend here in Kuwait and I am truly praying that we can enjoy it without any phone interruption. Well, that’s one of my husband’s occupational hazard. lol. Even if he is off duty his customer or colleagues would call him if there are problems in their machine. I hope this weekend that won’t happen because we want to spend the whole two days with him. We only have two weekends and we are off again and would be coming back to the Philippines. Just the thought of leaving him really put a hole in my heart. But that is life. And it’s only a few months and we will be seeing each other again.
