I am Ready!
I know that disaster may come anytime and I asked myself if I am ready for it. I know that no one can predict what will happen in the future but then it is always a good idea to be prepared. In case of emergency I know the things I need to bring and begin with I always make sure that my Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2 is always ready because it means that I can always put up a place to stay for temporary evacuation. I also make sure that I have bottled water, emergency kit, medicine and of course food that will keep me alive until the rescue got me. Insane it may seems but it is better to be prepared than be caught off guard.
Health Insurance - Due this Month!
Unlike the other expenses that I mentioned in my previous article, this one is a different case because I know that it is due every end of July for five years. One of the brokers told me that it is better if I will also try to have errors and omissions insurance quotes for me to have an idea which one is better but I think I will just concentrate in my current insurance coverage and after paying it then I can possibly look into that. I am not sure if it is the right move for me however I don’t want to think another thing while I am almost done paying the other insurance. I just want to have a proper coverage as I get old and I think what in my plate is already okay.
New Procedure Formulation
I am currently reviewing the available material handling procedure to help me understand how I can easily formulate a new procedure. This is actually one of the tasks that is hard to do but since it becomes a challenge for me I would still want it to be deliver on time. Formulation of new procedures is actually one of the continuous improvement we are thinking in our group.
The new procedure that I am trying to write will actually helps us standardize the process not only in the Philippines site but to other sites as well. We are done with the brainstorming process and now the ball is in my had to come up with a concise but meaningful procedure at the end of this month.
Formulation of new procedure is not an easy task however having this new procedure will actually help us to lessen the subjectivity of our decisions.
Compliance Tool
When I started working as Quality Engineer I never thought that there are many laws and regulations handled by different agencies around the globe in which a company must comply. Sometimes it is hard to think all of those especially if you are dealing with technology because it changes from time to time. But of course, to make it easier there are books and tools that you can use and one good online library that you can check is the OGC ITIL in which they have plenty of books as well as the tools for IT governance and compliance.
I understand that it is not easy to memorize everything that is why it is really best if you are equip not only with books and tools but proper training as well. This is the only way to familiarize yourself to help you do your job well.
Zumba!
After my vacation I gained about 2 kgs. in which I am trying to shed off. I am looking for workouts that will not only make me sweat but will give me fun as well when I came across to this zumba playstation. I just love it the moment I saw it. It is what I am looking for and considering the benefits I will get in having it I think it is worth the price. I already tried online Zumba workout and I just love it. It does not only makes me sweat but give me some kind of freedom in the dance floor. I will take it of course!
Credit Card to Your Advantage
Many of my friends told me that they don’t want to have credit card anymore because there were time in their life that their credit cards were the one put them into a lot of debt. I understand how they feel because I been to that situation as well but contrary to them I learned how to discipline myself and learned to use my credit card to my advantage. One of the advantages of having a credit card is being able to use it in structured settlement payments such as purchasing my laptop and iPad in 3 to 12 months payment scheme with zero interest. I also take advantage on the freebies every time I used my credit card. I enjoyed having my credit card without paying my annual membership because I always waive it.
There are many things you can do in taking advantage of having your own credit card. But of course you need to have proper discipline in using it so that you will not fall into their trap of paying more because of interest. Always pay in advance and pay full because that is the only way to use your card without paying any added interest.
Save while You Can
After my grand vacation it is now time to tighten my budget and replenish my savings. I have to admit that even if I had a Great deal in vacation packages that I get it still slash a great amount of my savings. Not that I regret of spending more during my vacation because I really enjoyed it but it is the fact that I need to always be prepared in anything that might happen along the way that is why I need to save while I can.
Right now, I have to make sure that I don’t have any unnecessary expenditure this way I will be able to put it back in my savings. One thing that I will also make sure is to really keep track of my budget and put more in my savings bank. I know I can do it as I am trained to do it. I also need to make sure that I pay my credit card on time because lapses mean interest and it means other expenses. On that category I can say that I am already an expert so I don’t have any problem on that. Last but not the least is refraining myself in checking out the malls because it is what driving me to buy on impulse.
Summer Vacation Highlights
Summer vacation is over but I still remember the fun and exciting things I did last week. It was a total adventure to me but this time it was not within Philippines but I spent my summer vacation in Singapore and drop by in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. It was indeed a total package in what I so called grand vacation. I know that I spent so much for that get away however I will always cherish the memories.
While I was in Singapore I take much of my time exploring the country and went to popular places there like Universal Studio, Esplanade, Marina Bay Sands, China Town, Little India, Bugis, Orchard and many other big malls. Exploring Singapore is really exceptional. Of course I did not forget to buy small things there such as clothes and other accessories.
After Singapore, I decided to also drop by at Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. I enjoyed the city tour because that was when I had a face to face meeting with the famous Petronas Tower and the Castle of their King. I also enjoyed buying small stuff like wooden switch plate covers, Petronas Tower memorabilia, Beryls chocolates and clothes.
And now, thinking about it I think I have to plan for another trip but this time to another country. What do you think?
Priceless Gift
I have a friend who is so vain and so I gave him a gift that he will never forget and that is the Cleopatras Mens skin care package. He was laughing at first but he said that he really enjoyed it and was really thankful that I gave it. Oh well, that was the priceless gift that I think that he will really enjoy and I was right.
Every gift is I think priceless especially if it came from the bottom of the heart of the giver. I don’t give gift just because I need to but because I want to and I feel it and so as much as possible I always think of a gift that will surely fits the receiver and that way it becomes priceless in their eyes. I am not sure how many times it happens but when I see the happiness in their eyes the moment they receive the gift it was as if I won a big price in the lottery. Now, that is what I call giving back. I am happy when they are happy.
Daddy’s Day Out
It’s been awhile since the last time we had a daddy’s day out and I think it is about time to do that again now that the Holy Week is almost there. I think this is just in time to spend the holy week celebration this year. I may not be around but I can still send dad gifts from kids with help from Shari’s Berries, am I right? I know that if I do that my dad will be delighted and will be happy but of course it is my presence that he wanted most.
