Day Dreaming for a Car!
Chevrolet makes fascinating cars, so I decided to check them out first. Here are some Chevrolet Malibu photos I found. They look beautiful, right?

Another that I found interesting is this Chevy Silverado Hybrid. I think this will do nicely in long travels even in not so good roads. Good also for personal and business purposes.
Another beautiful car that I saw is the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan. I think this would fit nicely as a mommy car. It has great space for children and good for car pooling too!
Oh well, I saw a lot of great cars and it made me dream of having at least one for the family. I believe that having our own vehicle can really help especially with growing kids and if you want to pursue doing business too. Anyway, I wish to own one someday, maybe not next year but soon!
The Ideal Bathroom Makes an Ideal House
Anyway, what is the reason why we kept on moving? Well, the number one reason is the rented house’s hygiene. That means if the house we rented has problems that can cause sickness, then we are out of there.
So, what do we look in a rented house? Number one is the bathroom! We make sure the bathroom is tiled. The lighter tiles used the better but not white. The color makes it neat and easy to clean. We also make sure the toilet has a working flusher. We don’t want to have flushing problems. Another thing is the plumbing. Leaks are bad, not only to our pockets but also to our health. And if possible, we prefer bathrooms with shower enclosures. This will makes the other part of the bathroom dry and neat. A bathtub would also be good but not necessarily important.
If the bathroom is OK for us, the rest of the house can be considered. Unfortunately, you can’t discover all the problems the bathroom or the house may have in one visit. Only after living in it for a few months will give you the idea of what problems it may have. And of course, that is when we decide to move out again if the landlord does not fix the problem.
Freshwater Pearl Jewelry
One that caught my eyes was pearl necklace like this one below. I was still in elementary when I saw that pearl. From then on, I fell in love with timeless pearls!
On Homeschooling
Anyway, earlier this year my co-blogger friend from Manila announced that she is homeschooling her son. I was so ecstatic to know that homeschooling can now be done in the Philippines and is recognized in our country. It made me think about really homeschooling my children. So, I immediately took the liberty in check some curriculum online and found out that there are some who uses Bible-based lessons to convey learning modules which of course I really love.
I am not sure if I will pursue in homeschooling my children since they already have tasted regular school. Aside from that, I haven’t found a place here in Bacolod to get a homeschooling accreditation. Oh well, if I can’t do it with my big kids maybe I can do it with Bella who is still 2 months old as of the moment. Maybe when she grows older, I will find all the answers to homeschooling locally.
Miscellaneous Ramblings for Today!
Today is Monday and my main blog is telling me that we have 11 days to go before Christmas. And guess what? I haven’t done my Christmas groceries so as my Christmas shopping for gifts! Why? Well, I am honestly waiting for some financial blessings to come. When it does, I will immediately go to the grocery store and shop something for Christmas dinner and to the mall to buy toys for the children (no more for the big people, LOL!). I hope they understand. The recession has hit our family so hard. Maybe next year will be better, so better luck next year for them.
Anyway, how is everyone? How was your weekend?
Lovers in Paris
Oh well, I wish I could go to Paris someday with my husband and enjoy a holiday with the lover’s city. They say it’s cheaper to avail of a bed and breakfast in Paris. You get to stay in a comfy place with free breakfast when you wake up. Maybe someday! There is no impossible when you believe.
