…or too Rich. I found another site which can help us earn Moolah. =) Just thought I’d share it with you guys…I haven’t earned much cause I only started today. It looks quite promising though it’s called Gangstergreed.

I saw another site with a slightly different approach to earning money, you might want to check out this site called This is by U.

And no, this is not a paid opp. =)

Daddy Ba is my uncle, although he definitely treated me more than a niece. Daddy Ba would pick me up from school (much to the chagrin of my mother who would be left wondering why my school service couldn’t find me) and take me to the grocery, to jollibee, etc. We would spend late afternoons chatting. He’d tell me about algebra, Napoleon, love, family history.

He died when I was 12 and admittedly I was hard hit by this event. Everytime I look at Ruy I imagine how he and Daddy Ba would have gotten along so well. It’s been over a decade since he passed away and I’m still very much affected by his death. I think what made his death so difficult was the manner by which he died. He definitely didn’t want to, he fought to the last breath in order not to die. He was just unfortunate to be a victim of medical malpractice and negligence.

Our family contemplated on suing the hospital where he died. It was (and still is) one of the top if not the top hospital in the country. We weren’t sure how we can stand up against their battalion of lawyers. Another thing against us is the fact that we don’t really have solid medical malpractice laws in the country. It’s not like  in the US where they have strict laws and excellent lawyers in each state such as the Washington DC medical malpractice lawyers .

In the end, we ended up not doing anything. I just hope these hospital officials now that they robbed our family of a wonderful man. =(

Now that the Philippine Economy is growing stronger (and should continue getting stronger with the expected influx of dollar remitances over the holiday period) it seems like the perfect time to think about hoarding dollars and investing it.  There are of course a lot of options when it comes to investment, from low-risk to high-risk, short term to long term.

I’ve always been interested in Real Estate. It seems like such a certain market despite the fluctuations, after all everyone needs some place to stay right?

I just wish the real estate market in the Philippines would be as available online as the ones in the US. It’s just so much more convenient in the US, whereas in the Philippines you only have a handful of options available online. For example, if I look online for Broward county real estate I’ll be sure to find dozens of options. Whereas if I look for Batumbakal St. real estate I’m sure I wouldn’t even find one.

It’s Andrea’s first halloween party!! Now, my mother takes these things quite seriously and so she really took pains just to make sure that Andrea will be a part of it. She’s quite obsessed with it as she’s been visualizing Andrea in a costume since I was pregnant.

My mom actually asked a friend of hers who was in the US at that time to buy a costume for Andrea. Unfortunately, the friend left a day before the costume was delivered. So Andrea was costume-less for a while.

I was telling my mom to just let Andrea wear the chinese traditional costume Papa bought for her but she wouldn’t hear any of it. My mom was a true blue stage grandma and insisted on buying another costume for Andrea.

We have a parade and a costume competition later followed by the kids going around the subdivision. I hope the weather remains sunny otherwise we’ll have to put out the canvas tents so Andrea wouldn’t get wet.

I’ll post pics of Andrea maybe tomorrow. =)
