Tree-Lined Roads

Posted on February 4, 2009 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

It is wonderful to see trees planted near highways because these do not just give character to the road but it provides shade too. Unless strong winds will knock these down, I am ok with the idea of having these trees.

Take a look at the photo below of the highway leading to my family (my parents and brother):

Nice, isn’t it?

Of course, those Flowering Cherry trees would have been perfect, if these will survive the hot weather we have in this country.It sure would be nice to see lovely blossoms lining up the road. I think that would be awesome!

Consideration to Others

Posted on February 2, 2009 by greenbucks| 10 Comments

Consideration to others for me is about courtesy.

It does not entail people to bow their heads in reverence to other people, not its not that.

Consideration encompasses not just respecting the opinions of other people, recognizing their personal space and doing things not just for your own benefit but for the benefit of others too. It shows in courtesy, knowing that there are other people besides yourself.

One of the things I don’t like to see are people who show (intentionally or unintentionally) actions that clearly do not show the proper decorum, especially when they are in public.

Take a look at this photo I took last week while I was waiting for my to-go order from a popular local food chain:

So the weekly question will focus on this photo:

What would you do if you see this in a restaurant?

My answer:

Exotic Cars

Posted on January 2, 2009 by greenbucks| 4 Comments

I will ask my 7 year old son to enumerate encode the different names of exotic cars that he knows and loves to watch on his favorite TV shows and YouTube channels about rides::

  • McLaren F1
  • Ferrari F60
  • Maserati MC12
  • Porsche 911 Turbo
  • BMW M6
  • Mercedes Benz SLR
  • Buggati Veyron
  • Lamborghini Reventon
  • Lotus Exige
  • Aston Martin DB9
  • Acura NSX

    • Thanks, Julian. He wanted to encode some more but I told him that these would do for now.

    Exotic cars are wonderful but are very expensive. Ferrari parts and services alone would probably mean a fortune for us who can only dream of having these cars.

    For now, we just contend ourselves with this:

    A Ferrari F50 1 : 18 Scale model 😉

    Semestral Break

    Posted on September 18, 2008 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

    A few weeks from now, semestral break will be here. I am sure a lot of families with school age children as well as college students looking forward to having a break are making their early plans.

    So what are the things to prepare for a hassle-free semestral break?

    • First of all, make sure that the schedules of those having the break are free.
    • Look for the best hotel deals that will offer maximum enjoyment and relaxation without paying sky high fees.
    • Agree upon the destination early on and book early too. Booking tasks cover hotels and flight or bus schedules.
    • If the trip entails driving, make sure that the vehicle is in its best condition.
    • Make a doable list of the places to visit and go over the list before the trip. Having an alternate itinerary would be very helpful.
    • Pack the essentials you need a few days before the trip. Making a list would be helpful too.

    Hmm…what have I forgotten?

    Getting your Dream Car? Get a Car Loan

    Posted on September 16, 2008 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

    Having a car is not just about getting from one place to another or conveniently going to and from the places one needs to go.

    Getting a car is a different story though. If one does not have the cash to pay for a car, then a Car Loan would be the answer to the problems regarding financing, be these new or used vehicles. The first step would be to see what are the different options one can take before a car loan contract is sealed. There are car loan online sites that can help one decide which is the more convenient plan to apply for.

    Both car maintenance and car loan entail huge responsibilities so it is best to be sure one can fulfill these obligations.

    Are you ready to get a new car?
