Sabay hataw ng sinturon sa pw*t.

That was what I’d hear from my dad every time I make a serious mistake. But that was decades ago, and that part of my life is done with. Now, am I angry and resentful of the spankings that my dad gave me? Surprisingly, no. I actually even believe that it made me the disciplined daughter that I am right now (*hears husband laughing*).

So would I resort to caning my son when the glares and time-outs don’t seem to work? Probably. That is, when he is old enough to understand the reason behind the action. But now when my two year old is too young to grasp the idea, spanking is a no-no. I had once spanked him when he was about 15 months, and after feeling terribly horrible of this incident, I swore not to lift a hand on my precious little baby again.

What is your take on this, Jane, Peachy, Nice?

As tonight was the husband’s “badminton” night, I went home alone just with the company of my driver. But before I headed to the little one, I decided to do my regular rounds at the mall and maybe purchase an item or two which catches my fancy. And so I went to Powerplant, a top favorite which never fails to whet my fashion appetite. I went to Zara and tried on around six pieces, then to Adidas to buy Manu a new set of white sneakers. I almost bought the Superstar except that the store didn’t have Manu’s size anymore. And then I took a quick peek at Beauty Bar as I am currently looking for a good cream or liquid foundation which would suit my oily skin.

I looked into Smashbox’s line as I had just read a great review on its Photo Finish Light Primer on kikay exchange. I am really looking forward to trying this cult favorite, but I had to decide on a foundation first before making any purchases. I discovered they had an oil-free liquid foundation with spf so I thought this would probably be a great partner to the primer. I thought twice on purchasing the two products right then and there because I knew I could save a thousand bucks or so if I purchase them from an online store. I could probably save even more if I use coupons from Target or avail of free shipping if I use Macys coupons. I have to double check though if they carry the brand.

When we hear the term silver we associate it with other terms such as 2^nd place, runner-up or precious metal. Well, 2^nd precious metal after gold. But in the world of precious metals, silver (whether its silver bullions, ingots or silver coins) might soon find itself vying for 1^st place with gold. Statistics show that silver demand has exceeded annual production, every year since 1990. Also, a similar report says that above ground stockpiles of silver bullion are getting low, shrinking rapidly and approaching zero. Because of these facts, many analysts feel that silver presents an outstanding investment opportunity – if we apply the simple principle of supply and demand. Not bad, considering that silver has always come in second to gold.
