sassymoon my favorite one is still boracay beach. powder fine white sand and clear blue waters. i remember that i even used the sand as a foot and leg scrub: that's how fine it was, it didn't cause scratches or anything. a lot of beautiful beaches in hundred islands as...

There are many methods out there to save money, but this discussion is not about how to save it while shopping etc. It is about that little change jar in the corner, the methods that you have to save up extra cash that you already...

sassymoon Nice topic. I save money by "trying not to save money". I'll explain. I used to think that if I went to sales (midnight madness sales, weekend sales, payday sales in the mall) that I could save money like that. Well, I always ended up buying things I...

Please share where you get your ebooks. Do you prefer them over real books? I prefer real books over ebooks, except for the prohibitive cost of real books. So in order to save money, I got myself a pocket pc and read ebooks...

sassymoon oh no, i don't think books will ever be a thing of the past. i do believe that people will always prefer real books over ebooks/virtual books. there is really nothing like the feel of the book, the texture of the pages, then taking your time reading the pages...

sassymoon It's funny you mentioned about the possibility of ebook contents being "changed"--- some form of this did happen, except that instead of changing parts of the book, fan fiction was passed off as the real deal. As a result, diligent ebook readers had to post in...

sassymoon your post is timely as i've been thinking about this too. one big fear of mine is waking up 20 years later, kids all grown, and me not knowing what to do with myself and not even knowing what I like/don't like, can/ can't do anymore. worse, waking up next to...

Some countrymen back in the Philippines think that just because we're now living abroad, we're 'rich' and they're entitled to request for goodies or the occasional loan. Or the misimpression that earning a living here is somehow...

I used to read a lot of self help books. A lot of times, I found they were really so generalized that they couldn't help me. Currently I'm reading "Get Off the Fence!" for tips on how to make major decisions. So far, it seems...

sassymoon I have read quite a lot of self help books. There are some which are full drivel, but there are also a few that really make you think, and make you look at a particular thing in a different way. In this sense, they're helpful. We can't really make...

sassymoon concentrate on your career first. if you two are really serious with each other, you will be supportive of each other's dreams and ambitions. your boyfriend doesn't want you to leave the country, but what about what you want. meanwhile, what if you two break...

If the husband is out working and the wife is a stay at home mom, do you think it should still be referred to as "our money"? I think that just because being a stay at home mom isn't a technical job, it's more work than alot of...

sassymoon I pity the wife whose husband thinks like this. Being a stay at home wife and mom IS the wife's contribution to the family. Anyone who has tried this will know that it involves more than staying at home, watching television the whole day. Moms of preschoolers...

sassymoon I also thought that I would never use a leash for my kid, but at the bookstore a few days ago, I lost sight of her and I got so terrified. She's at the age where she doesn't like to sit in the stroller for long, and when you put her in a cart, she wants to...

sassymoon There must have been a reason that the UK took you in as a Highly Skilled Migrant. Maybe the UK is in need of your particular skill, or else why did they even let you in if there was no need for your particular skill in their country. Keep at it, and be open...
