On Stock Investment.

I was greeted by two men as I was going up the stairs to the office this morning. They asked me about a certain office (which I’m really not familiar with nor heard of). They told me that they came to buy some stocks. I didn’t have an idea that there’s an existing stock broker or the like that is holding office in our building so I was not able to help them. As far as I know the building next to us is the right target since it’s the Philippine Stocks Exchange. Small problems like this can be avoided if they only knew about PowerOptions. PowerOptions offers the convenience and control required to automatically sort, filter, and analyze stocks to find the best investments. They offer various tools for buyers along with a complete suite of educational materials, covered calls, and customer support. I think it’s one of the best way to find, compare, analyze, and make money with regards to stocks markets and trading.

Medicine Price Cuts

Pres. GMA assured a half the price rollback on selected medicines, including those taken by the elderly. The reduction of the prices of these vital medicines is part of the administration’s implementation of the Cheaper Medicines Law. This is good news especially to those who are poor and are suffering from different kinds of diseases and are taking numerous kind of medicine a day. So, yesterday the Department of Health (DOH) already named the first five medicines that would be subjected to compulsory price cuts which will be implemented starting Aug. 15, 2009. The list includes anti-cancer medications, anti-high blood medications, medication against common infection, and an anti-high cholesterol medicine.

I wish that they will approved an order that will give discounts for various medical equipment as well. We all know that some patients also buys medical equipment like diabetic supplies and equipments for daily living aids like those equipments at Allegro Medical. Anyway, still, this is good news to all of us right?

My Tocco.

Ever since I got hold of my tocco, I got used to touch screen phones :D. I love my tocco. Hubby gave this to me as a gift when he return from Riyadh. Some people say it's a bit similar to iphone. Comments that kinda make me proud of it. The widgets are cool and it's very much user-friendly. I only encountered a little problem when I was buying some accessories for it. It's a wee bit pricey though not as much as the price of those iphone accessories. An earphone for my tocco cost me almost $21, same with it's charger if I want to buy an extra. But it's okay. I'm loving my tocco and so far it's one of my favorite gadget. :)

Brace problem.

For now we’re having a little problem with hubby’s braces. It needs to be adjusted. He got his braces when he was working in Riyadh and got dental discounts for it since he’s an employee of the hospital. He was given 50% discount plus free consultation and adjustments. But since he’s been here for three months now, his braces were not properly adjusted and when I consulted a dentist, she suggest to removed the braces and replaced it with a new set since as policy they are not allowed to touched braces that were from other dentist. Do you think it’s reasonable?

A little bit sad...

I’ve seen some bathroom fixtures at handyman last week and I told hubby I really want that for our house. I just don’t know if those were Delta faucets but I love the designs. It will surely look good to our new house. But sad to say, we still don’t know yet when we can transfer. It will depend upon hubby’s new working contract. I’m really sad. We’ve been informed by the developer of the house that HDMF did not release the loan though it was approved because of some working contract issues of hubs. So until now, we’re praying and really hoping for God’s intervention.

Living without a helper.

Since our helper left we started doing every household chores. I'll say it's quite tiring. We wash our clothes during Wednesdays and Saturdays, wash the dishes, iron our clothes and even drop by the market to buy some ingredients after office for our dinner and of course, personally run some errands. Last Saturday, we did some general cleaning. We washed some heavy blankets, pillows, comforters and area rugs. Then last Sunday, I did the ironing of our clothes. I felt that time moves so fast during weekends that there are times, we have to just stay home rather than go to the mall to have some fun.

It's not the normal routine for us but I know we can survive without a house help for the meantime.

Great.

The service warranty of our microwave oven almost expired last month, I i slipped my mind that it’s about to expire. I just remembered about it when I saw our broken microwave oven last week when I have to use. *Sigh* It really needs to be fixed. Good thing the store where I bought it called me and told me about their promo. They offered me an extended service plan. Now I don’t need to cram. But if it’s hopeless to be fixed. I think I have to prepare some cash to buy a new one. Tsk tsk!

Be healthy.

Losing weight will not include my list of problems (if ever I'll have one now). But for others, trying to lose those excess weights and fats takes one a lot of work, and what I mean is really HARD work. Why? Because first, one needs to go to the gym and shed some sweat. Run the thread mill or any other machines available. Then if the person is really determined to lose weight fast, he needs to monitor what he eats. There are several kinds of diet for different kinds of person. One needs to choose what’s best and applicable for him. And of course, if exercise and diet does not convinced him to shed off those fats fast, he needs to look also for the best weight loss supplements available in the market.

See? A lot of work and sacrifice! So if you don’t want to experience this, try to be healthy and stay on your normal weight. Avoid too much fats and sweets. There are a lot of diseases that overweight people are prone to, so as early as you can, avoid it. Always remember that good health is wealth!

Step to take

The husband is pursuing the career of a Safety Officer. He was actually promoted in that position when he worked in a hospital in KSA although he doesn’t have the degree on that. He was qualified because of his hard work and he was a fast learner. But to be a certified Safety Officer, he needs to take up a degree on Public health and safety. My brother in law recommends a school that offers crash course for that in Makati but since hubby is always busy, I told him to check for an online degree at Capella University. It’s an accredited and fully online university that is a leading provider of master’s and PhD degrees for working adults. We’ll see what would be more convenient for him. At least he has choices.
