travel around

We love to travel. We love taking advantage of seat sales in one of the leading airlines in the country. I guess they’re leading because of the too many seat sales they have. Anyway, I noticed that many young professionals take advantage of the sale because aside from having your leaves scheduled early, the rates are just too tempting, leaving one enough money for lodging and more fun activities.

I sometimes envy a former classmate who owns (together with her husband) an RV. They travel every two weekends to different places. She said they always make sure they have 5th wheel warranty so they are always covered anytime they go. It’s fun to travel around but sure to have somewhere to eat and rest. Not to mention you can bring all the food and clothes you want to.

Now that’s convenient fun.

simple happiness

I’m not sure why but I have this impression that young celebrities think it’s cool to be junkies. It’s just like they’ve worked for that money they’d spent on their recovery or so called aftercare. There are even alternatives now and non 12 step programs.

Sometimes you wonder if it would be better to be famous or to be just a simple teenager whose only worry is what to wear to her next date. I’d rather have a simple daughter with simple wishes. All I care is she’d be happy. I just hope it wouldn’t be much “trouble” to keep her happy.

when I retire…

I was browsing some websites on financing, and suddenly got confused between asset based lending and bank financing. As I see it, the latter is much ideal to businesses who would like to maximize their borrowing capacity using receivables and inventory as collateral. I realized I shouldn’t be worrying about this as the business I’m thinking of is just a small one. But who knows, after a year or two, it would be successful enough to reach an impressive sales volume.

Ideally, it would be something I’d enjoy but I think the target market is too few in numbers. It could end up being just a craze but like any fad, consumers would soon jump into the next big thing.

So it’s either something I love or something that’s a sure-fire cash magnet.

as seen in the movies

I’ve never seen real gold bars in my life. All I know is they are great investment products. They can be passed on from one generation to another. I was told that investing in gold is like preserving one’s wealth and purchasing power. It’s the same with jewelry collection, just bigger amounts of gold.

I remember when I was younger seeing those gold bars in the movies, mostly about discovering them in a hidden cave. I even thought as a youngster I could possibly find one in our backyard. My siblings and I use that same storyline during playtime. We imagined finding one, and buying lots of cuddly toys and stationeries. Ah, the simple joys of a child.

backup storage

I am frustrated with some of my old DVDs. I couldn’t get some of the photos anymore that I was planning to copy to my EHD. So there, DVD isn’t much of a good backup storage. Someone suggested why not use the laptop as the backup storage. Well that is because I’m using an office laptop. I still can’t decide between desktop or a laptop for personal use. I’m currently reading computer reviews to help me search to match my needs. Actually I just need something that I can use for blogging and digiscrapping. All other features are just bonus.
