Posted on February 8, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Sending flowers and gifts to your loved ones for Valentine’s Day is made easy with Island Rose.

I know it may sound cheesy and corny because some people would quip that everyday should be a Valentine’s Day. Still, wouldn’t it be great to consider this day as more special than your daily dose of feeling that loving feeling?

It seems that the gifting of flowers and other Valentine day-related gifts is getting lost in the technological advantage of sending (free) greeting cards, emails, videos and what-not. This is true since almost everyone has an email account, a social networking account and even their own blogs.

To those who are not here in the Philippines, you can surprise your loved ones when you Send Gifts to the Philippines. Teddy bears? Pendants? Bouquet of fresh flowers? You can choose whatever it is your loved ones will enjoy.

Deliver Flowers to the Philippines? Receiving fresh flowers is a happy moment that every woman and moms too, love to experience every now and then.

If you are concerned about your budget, you can avail of the 10% discount if you use the discount code VDAY022010 valid until February 20, 2010. That in itself is a gift too 🙂

Choose your gifts and show your love just in time for Valentine’s Day 🙂

Can’t Look at My Photos

Posted on January 13, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Looking at the pics I have uploaded taken from last Friday’s post-Christmas celebration with mommy bloggers I can’t help but cringe when I see myself. I have grown immensely. Horizontally. Ugh!

I have been walking by this kiosk in the supermarket where I see boxes of nutritional supplements and weight loss capsules. I am very much tempted to get some adipex pills  for me.

I know I need to get back to my early morning rounds but my sprained ankle prevented me from picking up from where I left off. The holiday eating galore didn’t help either.

I seriously need to keep the weight off.

I feel sad going through this and I hope I won’t submit myself to opening that container with my bite size chocolate candy bars, 😀

Looking for Balloons and Other Party Needs

Posted on January 11, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

I have been thinking about starting a balloons business with my mom since she has already clients in the province who orders balloons, birthday cakes, invitations and party needs from her.

Of course I wouldn’t want to tire myself while I traverse the roads going to Divisoria yet, where everything is being sold in retail prices, so I got to turn to online Classified Ads to see what it has on these party needs that I may write on my list when I have the resources and time in place.

And because I am excited, I decided to dream on when I saw this:

inflatables

I must say this is quite a wonderful way to advertise a balloons/party needs biz 😀

Confessions of a Shopaholic

Posted on March 6, 2009 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

The book which I decided to read first before I watch (the still unwatched by me) chic flick, made me cringed several times because I was embarrassed for Becky, yes I truly am!

I wouldn’t have wanted to be in her position (except when her “fortune” was reversed of course) with all those bills piling up and yes, these would really happen NOT because of cheap credit card processing but because of lack of self-control and foresight and planning.

But then again, I can’t say I won’t be like her since I don’t have a credit card and if I do, I should really know how to take a rein with my money-less expenses. I have control over my expenses because I mostly pay in cash so I know when and when not to buy especially when there is nothing left in the wallet.

What about you?

Looking for Baked Goodies Recipes

Posted on December 5, 2008 by greenbucks| 3 Comments

I am on the lookout for the perfect chocolate chip cookies recipe or the perfect fudge recipe.

Why? I plan to give these away to relatives and friends.

Because I am determined to practice “Frugal Christmas” though of course, because I have forgotten the baking lessons I have had eons ago, I may even be spending more than I care to if my baking forays will end up as failures.

Not to mention getting those necessary equipments for these experiments mean another extra dip in my already dwindling resources, I am still determined to do these and not shop for other gifts besides those for my students.

Below is something I made that comes from a recipe for blueberry muffins but I decided to put these in mini loaf pans so the kids can have slices instead of muffins. Turned out ok, I guess since they ate everything. Or maybe they were just hungry.

If these are not too good to give away, if they are edible at least and not life-threatening ( 😀 ), my kids would be more than willing to have these for themselves. I know how they loved baked goodies.

For those people I know who are eternally looking for the best fat burner, hah, get ready to eat these baked goodies once I perfect the procedure. As if.
