We are going to celebrate my parents’ silver wedding anniversary next month so I’m looking for a perfect gift for them. I thought of giving them a vacation to make it memorable. I am now choosing among the Disney cruises offers I found online. I still have a lot of time to decide so I would consult my siblings first to determine which one would be the best for our parents. I’m really excited for them! I also wish that when I get married, my spouse and I will also celebrate our silver anniversary on a cruise. I think that would really be memorable.

Wedding Anniversary Gift
Sooner Than Expected
My aunt from Canada arrived sooner that we had expected. This is probably a miscalculation of arrival date due to time zone differences. Because of this, there was no one welcomed my aunt in the airport. Despite that, my aunt is still happy to be home and see us again and the same goes for us. She gave away t shirts to my cousins and they were all happy have them. It’s like Christmas day where you get to receive gifts.
Surround Sound for Better Viewing
I love watching movies, different genres of them. I watch Disney, Warner Bros. and even Spanish, Korean, Japanese and other international movies that I think are interesting. Because of this hobby, every time I have extra money, I buy something for me to have a better viewing experience. This morning, I bought Surround sound speakers to really feel the mood of the movie, hear every whisper and feel every emotion in each line thrown by the actors in the film.
I am really a home buddy because I think that going out could sometimes be a waste of time, money and energy. While at home, I can work, eat, sleep or watch movies whenever I want to. And now that I got these new speakers, I had another reason to just stay at home. Maybe next month I’d get a bunch of DVDs for myself or a new player maybe.
Give Him a Name Contest
We are about to have another member in the family! My sister will give birth to her baby boy this month. Everyone at home is challenged to find the perfect name for the baby so I had this idea of organizing a contest within the family. Everyone should ask 10 friends for baby boy names and we will list them all on our freedom wall. Then after one week, we will all vote and the name which garnered the most votes will win and be given to the baby.
Then the family member who was able to solicit the “winner name” will be rewarded with a free dinner date with the person of his or her choice. Sounds fun right! I‘m really excited with all the names that we will able to collect! I’m also very excited to see the baby because he is going to be my first nephew.
Urgent Cash
My mom in California had to call me last night because my father had a stroke and because of this, I have to get a plane ticket and travel there as soon as possible. My family needs me emotionally and financially. Unfortunately, I’m a little bit out of cash right now because I just bought a new car. A friend suggested that I should look for companies that offer pay day loans and I should be able to be getting the money that I need for my father’s medical bills.
My friend suggested that I should read about payday loans and apply for one through LoanNetwork.com. Following my friend’s advice, I visited the website and read about payday loans. LoanNetwork.com is definitely a good resource about personal finance and loans. I also read useful information about mortgages, car loans, student loans and refinance. After reading some great information, I was able to apply for a payday loan within a few minutes. Thank God my friend told me about LoanNetwork.com. Now I know where I will get some money when I urgently need one.

Business Talk
Most of my posts are about traveling and having fun. Well, here’s something serious just for a change. I’m actually planning to set up a sports shop somewhere in the city and I’m all excited about it. This will be a completely new business for me and it will definitely offer me a lot of new experiences. A friend of mine who is has been in the retail business for a few years now will help me set this up. He also recommended me a bike shop point of sale software from MerchantOS for easy monitoring of my inventory and generating periodical reports that are needed for decision making.
Through further research, I have learned that this is indeed a great software that is perfect for retail business. It does all the hard work like keeping track of the levels of your inventories and recording important details related to every sale. I have other businesses and I know how losing the data installed in your computer can be such a headache. With MerchantOS Retail Software, you can be sure that none of your business files will be lost because they are all stored and backed up online. We can also monitor or manage your business even if you are away because all files are accessible through the internet. I’m glad my friend recommended this software to me because I believe it will make my business more organized and my life a lot easier.
Staying Fit on Travel
Traveling is resting, relaxing and unwinding. However, it does not meant that we should forget our fitness and health while we are on a holiday or a vacation. I would a video that will keep you fit even you are enjoying yourself on a trip.
Planning for Europe
With the help of thousands of prayers, I finally got a 2 weeks vacation approved for the end of this year. Believe me, in my job; getting a vacation for the holiday season in August is never too early. Anyway, now that I have been granted time, it’s now time to execute the most crucial stage of a vacation - planning your trip. Well, my family and I are definitely going to Europe this time and we are looking forward in visiting both Holland and London.

We are starting to search for things to do in these two places and I came across a website called EuroBookings.com which not only offers Europe Hotels Guide but also presents possible places and attractions to visit in Europe. Their Amsterdam Hotel Guide has reviews of different hotels and restaurants in Amsterdam. After browsing over the reviews, we’re considering to stay at Eden Rembrandt Square Hotel because it’s closer to central Amsterdam. I also want to visit Kilimanjaro Restaurant in Amsterdam because they seem to have the variety of food that I’m looking to try.
I was already happy with what I’ve learned about Amsterdam but I became more excited when I read through EuroBookings.com’s London Hotel Guide. There are just a lot of places to visit, hotels to stay in and restaurants to try. I’m still undecided on what hotel to stay in and which of those nice restaurants presented in EuroBookings.com I’m going to try. Well, I don’t really want to rush deciding on this. We still have a few months and we’ll use that to finalize our plans and make our trip fun, exciting and full of activities.
Car Angel - Make a Difference
For a few months now, I have been talking about different travel destinations, attractions and fun activities to do in a holiday. However, today I do not want to talk about having fun through travel but rather being happy through helping other people. I recently came across a website called Car Angel. This website has a unique way of facilitating charities. They accept car donations and the proceeds from these donations are used to help orphans, homeless people, teen rehabilitation and prison reform. Through giving a car donation, you can help in improving other people’s lives, give them hope and fight poverty.
Donating a car through Car Angel is a win-win situation. You also benefit through your donation in many different ways. If you donate your old car instead of selling it, you can save time by avoiding the paper works with the Department of Motor Vehicles. Another reason why donating your car is better than selling it is that you can get a tax deduction for it. I am also planning to donate my car at the third quarter of this year because I want to have a share in making a difference in this world. How about you, have you done your share?
