The Salad Caper

We finally went into a guitar store last Christmas and bought our son’s first guitar! He has been asking for one for two years already and we think he was ready for one. We also got him a guitar instructional book with DVD + a guitar pick. Now he has been trying to learn the [...]

We are just waiting for a big windfall to come our way and we will be buying our much-awaited new (pre-loved) car. It’s going to be a van, we think, based on our first scouting in the market. We need a big car – and we can’t afford SUVs as much as we want to [...]

I am so happy for my friend! She just got accepted at a good hospital with a lot of benefits – even the nurses uniforms are provided for. The only downside to it is she doesn’t have any leave credits for the whole year so a vacation would be out of the question. But as [...]

I have been using the iPhone since 2010 and I have been lucky enough to us the iphone 3g, iphone 3gs and the iphone4 versions. Now of course I am coveting the iPhone4S – but I need to wait for a little bit longer to be eligible for an upgrade with my current mobile provider. [...]

A good friend just celebrated her 16th wedding anniversary by checking in at a hotel with her family. The kids were excited to go swimming, even in the middle of winter, since the pool is heated and there are hayward pool pumps on standby.

Our ancestral house badly needs a renovation. And this is why, only a few weeks before Christmas, my Dad decided to replace the kitchen tiles, have a new sink installed and have quick step floors replaced. We will be having our relatives visit us for the holidays and we will be spending Christmas in this [...]

I need a better case for my Panasonic Lumix LX3. I have been looking at different camera cases but there are no one that is as slim and as stylish as I want it to be.
I need to make sure that I have one for the holidays since my LX3 will be with me all [...]

Thanks to Deal Grocer, I was able to get awesome deals to a Vikings buffet for my birthday. I am sure that the receipt printer of Deal Grocer burned a lot during the promo – 800 vouchers were gone in an hour (I am not exaggerating!). I originally planned to get it for my son’s [...]

Employee turnovers can be expected in any company. Most highly competitive and qualified employees are often offered jobs with better benefits and higher salaries and transfer, which is normal.
