Comfort in Your Own Bed

I love comforters. When we go to the mall I always stop by whenever I see a pretty comforter on sale. I love that it looks so comfortable and fluffy. No wonder they named it comforter. The only thing that stops me from buying one is the hot weather in our country and the fact that it would be more difficult to wash it. Aside from those reasons I would really want to Buy a Comforter and experience the comfort it gives.

Bed comforter sets come in different sizes and different designs. There are comforters for King, Queen, twin, and even cribs. The best thing about comforters is the comfort it gives while you’re sleeping. During those chilly or windy nights you could never do without the added comfort of comforters. I’m sure the fluffy and soft sheet draped into your body will make it difficult for you to leave your bed that you want to stay in it forever.

Just looking at the different comforter sets available at theComforterStore.net makes me want to order one asap. Although they have comforters that have different lovely designs the thing that jumps out to me most are the white comforters. I don’t know but there is something about the white color that makes the comforters look fluffier and thus look more inviting.

Household Items and Our New Bidet

We went to Landmark and was delighted to find that there was an ongoing sale. Household items such as curtains, pots and pans, bed sheets, and comforters were on sale for as low as 50% off the original price. I promptly bought a items like a shower curtain, a set of placemats, and bed sheets for our bed. I was trying to find bed sheets for kids so Z can finally move out to his own bed but I couldn’t find any.

So far my favorite buy are the placemats. I got a very stylish design and it goes well with our dining set. My least favorite was the bed sheets because at P350 for one set (queen size, fitted, two pillow covers) it looked like it was washed with bleach. It was fading pretty bad and although the design is supposed to be pretty it looked like an old, old bed cover. So note to self, no more buying bed covers at that price.

I also bought something that I love. It was not on sale though. I bought a bidet set for our toilet. It’s like a small shower with high pressurized water coming out of it to clean your – you know what – after doing number two. I love that I don’t have to use any tabo – I forgot the English of that word – oh, it’s dipper am i right?! LOL! Anyway, I highly recommend it. It simplifies things and add convenience in the toilet. *wink. I bought the bidet for P600+ plus I needed to buy something (this time I really don’t know what it’s called) so that the water will flow two-way – one to the toilet tank and one to the bidet. That’s worth P209 but I think you can buy it cheaper at local hardware stores.

Online Slots

Slot machines have been used by people for a long time and it has certainly made a mark in our history. People just love playing games as a way of entertaining themselves and passing the time. They get a high whenever they play games and playing slot machines is no exception.

In casinos, the slot machines definitely have its own place. As a matter of fact, there are no casinos out there that has no slot machine. People are just naturally attracted to playing these slot machine games. I think its secret is because these are just so easy to play. You just have to pull the lever and you can win a certain amount of money. Now, that sure is easy, right?

Would you believe that I have never seen a slot machine? For people just like me I’m sure you’ll be interested to know that this game can now be played online. You don’t have to travel to Las Vegas anymore or go to a real casino because now you can play online slot games on the internet.

Like the real slot machines, you don’t have to have experience when playing online slot games.  It’s just as easy as clicking a button and waiting for the result.  Some people might question if the online casinos are authentic and credibility. Usually, they are but you still have to be careful though. It is advisable if you read some reviews on the different online casinos and just play on the top rated ones. The reputable online slot machines employ tried and tested technologies which will ensure that you’ll have fair and credible game.

You don’t even have to bet money in these online slot games.  You can just play for fun or to pass the time.  When you’re bored at home you can just try your luck and see if you’ll win.  If you win, even though it’s just during play, you will still feel excited even though it’s just make believe.

Playing games online has certainly become the trend these days.  Whether it’s playing Plants and Zombies or Farmville or slot games, people have more and more ways to entertain themselves at the comfort of their own homes.  A century ago, this is not possible but I’m sure glad everything can be done in a click of a button this days.  I’m a stay-at-home mom and sometimes it really can be boring inside the house.  I’m not that fond of online games but it’s a comfort  knowing that it’s just a click away when I feel like playing.

More Blessed to Give than to Receive

So much has changed in our family and it just happened in the span of a year.  A year before we were working so hard just to be able to meet our family’s needs and some of our wants.  It’s seems no matter how hard we work and no matter how much salary we get it’s just enough for our small family and there’s nothing left to give anymore.  Sometimes I pause from all the non-stop work and ask myself when am I going to earn enough to be able to give just a meager portion of my salary.

All of that changed now.  It doesn’t mean we are earning more than ever though.  It’s just that we had a complete paradigm shift.  My eyes are brimming with tears now just recalling how God has been kind to us over the past years.  He had been so good to us that we can’t ignore it anymore.  We can’t explain the blessings that we receive other than through His provision.  That’s why we’re so happy that finally we are able to give back to Him even though it’s just a little sum.

A month ago we made a pledge to our church.  We thought we’re going to receive some extra money from hubby’s company this month so we pledged the full amount he’s going to receive.  It turned out we’re not going to get it until the end of the year and so we had to scramble for some extra funds before the end of this month – the deadline for the pledge.  I did a quick accounting this morning and was relieved that we can fulfill our pledge after all despite not receiving anything from hubby’s company.  I thank God that He has not let us down once again.

Last night, hubby turned to me and said, “It’s such a nice feeling to be able to give.”  I was silent because I didn’t know what to say but I was glad we felt the same way.  Sure I can buy some things I so wanted with the amount we have been giving but for some reason I don’t feel lonely and empty anymore.  For some reason giving has given us contentment and happiness in our simple lives.  I know it’s ironic in this world driven by commercialism but it’s true.

Acts 20:35
35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.‘”

Metal Building as Car Garage

Our car is parked at a vacant lot near our house. We’re paying P500 a month for the parking. It’s guarded 24/7 and has a high steel gate. Aside from that there are two big dogs guarding the compound. So we’re pretty much convinced our car is safe over there from thieves.

However, during the last typhoon we heard that an ipil tree fell down on one of the cars parked there. We realized that we’re safe from thieves but not from forces of nature. If we experience a stronger storm then we don’t know what might happen to our car.

That’s why hubby is going to suggest to the owner to construct a metal building in his garage. A metal building will ensure that the parked cars are well protected from all the elements.
