It’s a holiday tomorrow Comments Off

Posted on August 16, 2011 by dorisch

Just when I thought my laundry is done and I’m about to hang out my clothing, the sun isn’t smiling anymore. I don’t like to run after my clothes to rescue them from the rain so I thought I should wait for a while.

It’s a holiday tomorrow and honestly, I don’t like mid week holiday. It’s disruptive and you can’t go places or do much cos it’s school the next day for the little junior at home. Maybe I should stay at home and do some shopping. Someone told me that archery equipment on sale at stickemarchery so I should see if there’s anything worth buying for father’s day.

And while I’m writing this, the sun is out again and I’d better head out to air the laundry!

Believing in Insurance Comments Off

Posted on August 11, 2011 by dorisch

For a long time, I have never been convinced that I need to take up an insurance policy, simply because I think it’s a waste of money. But after hearing and listening to some good advice from friends in the industry, I have decided to buy term life insurance for the sake of my family.

We live in a world of uncertainties and none of us can predict our future and destiny. I believe it’s important to spare a thought for those around you and think about how your sudden loss can affect their lives in a negative way. At the end of the day, it’s still up to every individual to believe and be convinced.

For people who are familiar with online shopping, the experience can be apprehensive since you are parting with some confidential information that is reserved for your eyes and knowledge only.

But buying things online is a popular activity and it’s easy to understand why. Whether it’s shopping for a cook book or a wire loom, you can easily get it online and the best part is the savings. I often buy our household things online and I find that they are cheaper and offer better value for money.

Online Coupons On Search Comments Off

One of the ways to save when you buy things online is to use coupons.

In the past, we have paper coupons but now that consumers shop via the internet more, people are learning how to use online coupons. For instance, if you want to order some personal creations, you will be searching for Get FREE Personal Creations coupon codes to save, isn’t it? You will be surprised that all these savings can bring your money further and you would possibly end up with more stuff. Whether it’s a vacation or buying a skincare product, I’m sure you can find a coupon when you start your search!

Loving Online Shopping Comments Off

Posted on August 06, 2011 by dorisch

In the past, I used to think that I’m the only one among my friends who would buy things online but I was wrong.

I had dinner with some old friends few days ago and I was surprised to learn that they too are avid online shoppers! They bought many household things online including a thermal cooker and other electricals such as Epson TM-T88V. I believe consumers are getting more savvy and they have learnt where are the better places to buy what they want or need. For me, online shopping is so convenient and I’m absolutely loving it!

Getting Covered Comments Off

I just came home from a chiropractic treatment and I pray that I’m getting a relief from now on.

As one hits the age of 40, I realized that the body condition changes along with it. I’m not as agile as before and I don’t seem to discharge stress or tension that well. These days, people are talking about dealing with social security disability and stuff like that. It’s just good to know that they exist as you don’t know when you need it. It’s the same with health insurance, you end up paying through your nose if you are not covered with any form of health funds.

Melbourne Trip Comments Off

Posted on July 27, 2011 by dorisch

We are looking forward to our Melbourne trip on Friday. I managed to look out for cheap accommodation rates months before the trip and it’s nice to know that there are promotions going on during this non peak season.

My friend has been telling me about the good shopping in Melbourne. She loves a href=”http://www.manalive.com/”>hip hop clothing and so she went around looking for them. For me, I’ll be happy eating in some good restaurants and Melbourne’s food is obviously better than Brisbane’s. My husband is looking forward to eat his favourite food and I hope to do some shopping in the city!

Traveling with a Camera Comments Off

Posted on July 16, 2011 by dorisch

How important it is to have a camera if you are planning to travel! Having said that, I know of friends who don’t travel with one at all.

I recalled having our first digital camera years ago and it was during our first New Zealand trip in 2000. Then we progressed to a casio digital camera before I finally settled for a DSLR three years ago. I like to retain memories with my camera and as I look at those old photos, it brings such nice memories. I feel that these memories mean more than lots of things especially when they are spent and celebrated with those you love.

Planning for Melbourne Comments Off

Posted on July 16, 2011 by dorisch

When you are planning to travel, it is worth to plan early. We had decided to go for a short trip to Melbourne and due to the fact that I started my planning late, the cheap accommodation rates were no longer available.

Then I remembered that I should book my car rental first as we needed a car to move around. These days, there are all kinds of car rental options and that makes it hard to choose and make a decision. Some of the companies even have a href=”http://www.goodsamrvinsurance.com/”>5th wheel insurance, can you imagine that?

Finally, I got my flight booked and confirmed, now it’s time to search for the best accommodation deals in Melbourne!

Camping in the Cold! Comments Off

Posted on June 25, 2011 by dorisch

Holidays is here and I’m sitting down cracking my head how I can keep my little one occupied.

Many of my friends are going somewhere and some are staying back. It’s hard to travel when the weather is turning cold unless you are well equipped with the right attire. I have some friends in the commercial playground equipment industry and they are planning to go camping! I thought that is a very bold plan! Camping in the cold is not something I’m good at and I am putting it off till spring is here!
