Analou is Busy

      I am really busy right now folks not only regarding my job but also trying hard to learn how to drive a car. It is pretty scary when you're behind the wheels especially that where I live there are a lot of cars.  I am nervous but at the same time I want to learn sooner because I have the feeling that this could be my passport for a much brighter future. I work in a big retail company with more or less 900 branches nationwide and the department where I am assign since I first started working in this company is a new one. In fact they are planning to open more of these department to the old stores. If that's the case, there is a greater chance that I can be promoted someday.  

      Also, if I know how to drive, my plan is to enroll few subjects that are related to my work. I already had my business degree in the Philippines but I think it is not accepted here. Well, I am still young and if I am really determine to go to school nothing can hinder me. Hope I can make it..........

It Was Another Day of Fun

     I cannot remember the exact date when we went to Palisades Park in Santa Monica to unwind. It was after the rain for few days and we were very eager to go outside. We took Bones with us because the park allowed dogs as long as they are on leash. The parking areas around the park were full and so we had to park in the residential street. Although there were part of the park that were wet and muddy, it did not stop a lot of people from going there.  The park is not really that beautiful (in my opinion) but since it overlooks the Santa Monica Bay it is a very good place to relax, jog and watch the sun sets either with some else or by yourself.  

      We walked around the park for maybe thirty minutes and every now and then we stop at a certain area and look at the bay. Bones did not want to miss something. So every time I looked at the bay, he will put his front paws on the top railing and look at the direction that I am pointing to my husband.  He is a very curious dog and doesn't want to miss anything.  

     We had a good time at the park and on our way home we stopped at our favorite burger shop for an early dinner.  We had banana milk shake, french fries and beef burger with mozzarella, avocado and some veggies. It was a very nice day for us.

A Gift For Hubby On Our Wedding Anniversary




       Valentines day is approaching and so as our third year wedding anniversary. Right now I am thinking of what to give to my dearest hubby during this special occasions. I am thinking of giving him either a durable, high-end backpack for his cameras or this seiko diamond watches. I am leaning towards the latter for our wedding anniversary because I feel like it is more appropriate for this special occasion and probably the backpack for Valentines day. This Seiko SGED94 watch has black dial with gold tone hands and markers.  It has also a black anodized polished stainless steel case and bracelet.  If hubby will see this one, I am sure he gonna like it. He is not into jewelries nor watches but he told me once that he is thinking of buying a watch for himself to be used everyday.

      Well, who can resist the watches that bluedial.com offers.  They are brand new, authentic and genuine. The good news is, I can save up to 70% if I will buy him one of these watches. Hubby will definitely love this watch and will not bug me of buying him an expensive one since there are a lot of watches that are on sale right now.

       Don't know what to give your special someone on this valentines day? A watch would be an ideal gift for this occasion. She/he will be ecstatic to receive one from you. So hurry before valentines day comes.

Unfulfilled Plans for Today


      Hubby and I are planning to go skiing today. Since there is a 70% chance of rain, we think that it is not a good idea to ski. Not only we don't have the appropriate clothes to wear for skiing but also it is quite far from where we live. So, we decided to go to  Huntington Dog Beach for an hour and afterwards we will be heading towards San Diego with no specific destination.  I almost finish getting ready when all of a sudden our home phone rings.  Hubby have to work for a half-day today.  I was really disappointed because our plans will be set aside because he prepares to work instead of going some place with me and Bones.  I can't blame him for deciding  to work instead of sticking to our plans. He is a freelance photographer and every time his main client ask him to work, he just can't let it go or else he has no work.  We've been spending more than what we earned. We already used our savings and if this cycle continues, probably sooner than I thought we will be living under the bridge. 

      My salary is very, very little. If I live by myself, I can't survive even if I got this job right now.  So, 99% of our expenses comes from my husband's salary.  Most of my salary including my blogging income are being sent to my family in the Philippines.  That's why sometimes, I felt very upset and frustrated when they spent it for nonsense things and yet wanted me to send them more for their unwise spending.


      Anyway, we still went to Huntington Beach so that Bones can play and run freely.  It's almost an hour drive from our house and we spent an hour in the beach hoping to give Bones enough exercise.  We intentionally throw it to the water hoping that Bones will chase it even if the water is very cold.  Presto! Bones did not mind if the water is freezing as long as he can have his ball. He is totally obsess with his ball. If you come to our house, don't try playing with him with his ball or else you will be the first one who gets tired, not this mutt.

      Right now, I am doing a little blogging hoping to divert my attention from our supposed to be "plans" for today. I am not into the mood of doing something else, except blogging and that's it.

Get An Instant Insurance Quotes, It's Easy

     Most people in the U.S. have cars but it doesn't mean that they are all rich. In fact, a lot of people are very meticulous when it comes to buying their auto insurance. Before deciding which insurance to buy it is best to get an instant auto insurance quote first in order for you to have an idea of how much you are going to spend for your insurance. Some companies charge very low premiums but when it comes to covering your expenses after an accident it seems to take forever. On the other hand, other companies charge very high premiums but are prompt at covering you after an accident. Whichever company you are now with, it is best to read and understand the companies policy and the coverage you are getting in case of any accident or theft.

     Another way to also save money is to buy all your insurances with one company. They usually will give a discount to policy holders who buy more than on policy. The best way to check to see if you save is to use the so-called, instant insurance quotes.

      But there are also instances wherein one company has a better auto insurance policy but not for a homeowners policy. In that case, you will have to make sure that you will get  homeowners insurance quotes and compare it to other insurance companies. Having the privilege of getting an instant insurance quote online makes your life a bit easier. You don't have to call insurance companies one by one and ask them how much their 6 month or yearly insurance premiums are. This is very time consuming, so it's better do it online in the comfort of your own home.

      Insurance is very essential. No matter how careful you are, others may not be. So insure your home, auto and other properties now!
