Snapshots of my Life

I heavily rely on my computer to do my work and a day without a computer means a loss of dollars for me. So it is really important that my computer is always working all the time, 24x7.

That is why when it breaks down, be it a hardware failure or software failure or a corrupt system because of a virus, I need it to be restored and up and running right away. I have dealt with a number of companies who do computer repair and most just leave me frustrated as they can’t seem to give me the proper answer on how I can fix my computer, and they won't give me a clear idea about how much it will cost to have it fixed. As well, they do not guarantee how fast it will be fixed, they just tell me to bring it in.

I have heard about a company that does Portland computer repair. So for anyone living in the Portland metropolitan area, this sounds like the company to call for any of your computer problems. First, one of their major goals is to explain things clearly to their customers, they will speak in lay man’s terms. You don't have to be a technical wizard to understand them. Second they provide two kinds of service options: one is onsite service, they will come to your home to do the repair; the other is that they will do a remote repair through an internet connection. Neither option requires that you take your computer to their shop. You just choose which ever of the service options you prefer. Third, they offer upfront pricing on their website. You will see exactly what it will cost. There are two price ranges, one for remote service, and one for onsite service. Both rates are very reasonable. Finally they have a reliable and expert staff who are available 7 days a week between 8 AM and 7 PM which enables the fastest repair possible.

Viruses are the number one culprits in corrupting operating systems. The Portland pc repair company guarantees their virus removal service, or you don't pay. For remote virus repair the charge is $129. while onsite virus repair is $149. I think anyone living in the Portland area would appreciate the benefits of using this Portland computer support company. This company was founded in 2007 with the goal of providing "prompt, polite, and thorough service" who really needs anything more than that?

This will be our destination tomorrow:

Hubby’s hometown, Sorsogon. Our flight will leave at 6 AM from NAIA Terminal 3 and it is just a short 55 minute flight to Legazpi. From Legazpi, hubby said that it is still an hour away from Sorsogon. We will be meeting hubby’s siblings in Legazpi to fetch us as they are driving (which I think is 16 hours) from Manila.

You might think that this is a family vacation, but it is not. It is the 30 days of my mother-in-law and so the whole family is going home to offer prayers and mass for my mother-in-law. But of course since it is B’s first time in Bicol, we might do a little sight seeing as we promised her that she will go swimming. My father in law’s house is just fronting the beach so B and hubby might have a chance to go swimming on Saturday morning before our flight back to Manila in the afternoon.

But since Jacobo is only a month old, his doctor suggested that we just leave him behind and so I am leaving with a heavy heart as this is the first time that I will not be spending the night with him. I just hope and pray that he will be able to sleep well even without me beside him. I am already in tears now as I think about it….

What comes into your mind when you hear the word investment? Others may think of real estate property or perhaps cars or business as well. As cliché as this may sound, people often rely with these kind of investments since we can further say that these can give a bigger chance of financial security.

But as a working mom like me, it’s a challenge for me to put up my own business because I’m a hands on mom and I’m not sure if I can operate the business simultaneously with taking care of my two kids. So instead of this, I just buy gold eagle coins as a start of our family’s investments.

We all know that gold can be a good source of venture since its value doesn’t depreciate from time to time and eventually you can just easily convert it into cash because it is widely known and accepted all over the globe.

So who says that investments are for business and luxuries only? Gold coins can be one of the financing aids that can serve as your security and protection for your family’s future needs.

As the summer months heat up the atmosphere around the country, those wedding bells continue to ring at the same time. The couples being married through August, September, and October will need to figure out where they are going to spend their honeymoon. The honeymoon is the most important part, besides the actual wedding ceremony, of the entire 'getting married' experience for various reasons. Those reasons include getting to vacation with the person you love, getting away from the stress of planning a wedding, spending time alone, visiting a new location and taking time away from family and friends after all of the commotion of the ceremony.

Many honeymooning couples decide to take cheap cruises for their trip in order to enjoy paradise, see multiple places in a week, and save some money for when they return home. These cruises will typically leave from Florida, San Juan, or another location in the Caribbean; if you are on the East Coast. Cruises throughout the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea will make various stops during the week or 10 days the boat is at sea so that the passengers on the boat get to explore different islands instead of staying in one resort for the entire honeymoon.

Cruises that sail through the Caribbean Sea will typically stop at one or more of the United States Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. Croix, or St. John); San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Lucia; St. Kitts; Antigua and Barbuda; Aruba; the Bahamas; Saint Martin and the British Virgin Islands. Most cruises will dock at one of these islands the second day of the cruise, for roughly 10 hours, and then begin sailing onto another island for the passengers to explore. When the ship is docked the passengers can traverse the island and shop, eat, swim or catch some rays on the beach.

I went to the Bodega Sale with my sister and her boyfriend since they got interested to join me when they learned that Jansports and Sanuk are on sale too. We arrived around 11:30 AM and we were asked to wait outside for a couple of minutes since the warehouse is full already so we have to wait for some of the customers to go out before we can go in.

My only target to buy that day was a luggage since we travel frequently and we don’t have a very durable luggage that we can use for our travel. I checked out Samsonite luggage first but I still can’t afford the price even if it is already at 50% off so I just settled for the low end brand of Samsonite, which is the World Traveller. From the original price of P6,000, I got this luggage for only P1,700.


My sister and her boyfriend checked out the Sanuk shoes and since the price is irresistible at 50% off, I ended up buying three pairs – one for my dad, one for hubby and one for me.


My sister was also able to buy a nice pair of Sanuk shoes at 50% discount also.


When we are finish with our shopping we line up at the cashier and we waited for two hours (so we skipped lunch) in line to pay. But we really got big savings from our purchases so I guess it was all worth it.
