Shopping for Summer

Posted on March 8, 2009 by greenbucks| 3 Comments

With just a few days left before the summer vacation officially starts, I am thinking of getting new clothes for the children that will help them combat the heat.

Sleeveless tops, short pants and swimming gear (as if) are on the top of my list. Throw in some colorful flip-flops, sun block and we can say that we are ready for summer.

But getting these things require me to have a budget that will be able to get everything we need to have pleasant summer days.

Hmmm… I do hope there will be a lot of sale happenings on these items in the nearby malls that will enable me to get these.

So now, I need to get my budget ready 🙂

I have written a post about “loving your job” and in it I also wrote that:

Love your job. Live with the inconveniences that goes with it for who knows, you might even  consider yourself more fortunate than those who have none.

Gasoline Prices

Posted on January 20, 2009 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

We, along with millions of other motorists who consume gasoline as we commute to and from work daily have been very wary of the prices of petroleum products last year.

From an all-time high, we are now enjoying a relatively low price, which we hope (cross our fingers and hope to the high heavens) will stay for some time. Well, I guess not since major oil companies in the country has gave feelers about a price hike. Hmph.

One of my son’s favorite things to do while we are on the road would be to look at the prices of the these products on the digital signage posted in front of the different gasoline stations we pass. He can say which gasoline stations offer the cheapest per liter 🙂

The other day he got worried when he didn’t see the red numbers in a gasoline station that he likes to look at because there were no numbers where there are supposed to be. Uh-oh! I hope they will not be changing their prices for a higher one soon.

____________________________________________________

Lots of people have already started with their Christmas shopping. I know of some people who are done with theirs as I write this post.

Its just a few weeks before Christmas and everything seems to be hurrying by. The days are getting shorter. The people are hurrying to and fro.

There is something about Christmas really that makes one feel frantic. Perhaps it is because its that time of the year when reports have to be filed, work has to be completed, shopping has to be done to avoid crowds and traffic jams.

Since the advent of the internet, shopping can now be done in a breeze. How? Through online shopping of course.

There is no need to brave through the crowds, wait in line to pay and deal with kids who think the mall is their playground online shopping is done. Shopping in the comfort of one’s own home has never been better.

I still haven’t thought of anything yet to give to my husband but I am thinking he might appreciate getting something like this to start working on his carpentry skills:

Wishful thinking 😀
