An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure

First it was Britney, then Lindsay, now who’s next? Looking at this disturbing trend I’m really glad that I’m raising my kid here in the Philippines surrounded by family and our unique set of values. Sure there are good addiction treatment procedures and center abroad but those are after-the-fact solutions. What we have here is a good way of prevention – family intervention. I hope they get better, though. We wouldn’t want our kids admiring such stars and all their emotional baggages.

Unique Party Invitations

I’ve been looking around for some party invitation ideas as early as now for our next big party. Ever since we made Manu’s 1st birthday party invite, I’ve wanted to top it with a better format and theme. I don’t want to end up copying another invite since I want our invited guests to see it as unique and well-prepared. I was checking out a site preparing invites for the not so frequent events. If they can make nice Kentucky Derby Party Invitations (a very unusual event!) then a birthday invitation would be a cinch. I think its worth checking out some more.

This was Fun.

I Don’t Need The Money

I love how a credit card sales agent grabs your attention by an opening statement such as, “Ma’am, you are qualified to receive a P50,000 check from xxx Bank.” If it’s your first time hearing this, you’d probably say “yes” right then and there. But I have heard that line too many. So even before the sales agent could finish his sales pitch, I’d cut him off and say “I’m sorry, but I have to decline. I really don’t need the money right now.” While this is partially true (hey, everybody needs money eh?), I really don’t want to be incurring another debt, most especially a credit card debt (which charge notoriously high fees). I am slowly paying off my credit card balances as of the moment, so unless I want to go bankrupt and carry out an IVA, I am staying away from these credit card companies.
