The 13-year-old son of my Indian and Pakistani friends collects silver, gold coins, generally rare coins, I was really amazed by his passion over it. Apparently, his dad has been in this coin investing scheme and would oftentimes buy gold coins for over 5 years now and made a lot of money just by trading and investing on them. He gets his coins from UsGoldBureau.com. However, the teener is more likely to collect than to invest on them. He even ordered some boxes custom-made for his coins. This makes me think that lucky are the kids who at a very young age already knew what their passion are in life.

A few days before DH’s 33rd birthday, he dreamt of his lost parents and grandparents. I was so sad about it because all along I thought that is a bad sign. In fact, the morning he woke up, he was so quick at checking our current
term life insurance package. He said this is the best security he could give us when he leaves us (knock on wood!). I know this entry sounds morbid but I just cannot help it. Good thing when I saw this tumblr photo my perception changed and I told DH that maybe they (his lost parents and grandparents) need our prayers now.

Finally, there was sunshine in our neck of the woods
. In fact, I opened the windows last Monday and turned off the heater. Err, I spoke too soon probably because come Thursday, it was snowing again gosh! Anyways, during the few days that there were sunshine, DS and I were strolling down the neighborhood and checking out townhomes and apartment complexes. We chanced upon this apartment which is actually newly built with very huge pool plus a gym that has some good dip bar, ellipticals, treamills, the works! Those stuff are what I need to shed off these flabs! Sad that our townhome complex does not have a gym. Should we move? We will, in July. yay!

Two days ago, I received a very good news from a friend who recently got her Canadian Immigrant visa. I can feel from the tone of her email that she was indeed very excited about this recent development in her life, although there are mix emotions as she will be leaving her boyfriend behind, I am sure time will come when they will be together and back in each others arms again. Anyways, she told me that if we are on the lookout for a car, toyota venza is a good choice. She was surprised to find out that we already bought a car last 2008
. Yes we did and although I was proud about this milestone in our life as family, I do not really divulge nor tell these things in my blogs except now
. If you were following any of my blogs, the codename or petname we gave to our car is ‘Lexie’ as this name sounds like the brand we got
Speaking of Toyota, chevy, Jeep and honda, and cars in general, that friend of mine suggested ford escape after seeing some reliable Toyota reviews at thecarconnection.com. In fact, she also saw photos of Toyota models. If you are looking for a car and needed reliable and comprehensive reviews. You can check out thecarconnection.com. This site is where my brothers always check car information if they are planning on a car purchase. Check out the site too. As for me, I need to start with my driving test review, this is going to be a really must in my 2010 goal.

News of sudden death and grave illnesses are few of the things I dread to hear about. Seriously, I am not so good at receiving these kinds of news. So it is very important to get a life insurance by starting to get life insurance online quote so as to assure the security of our loved ones even after we depart this lifetime. I also read in one of the forums that one of the major killers and a big attribution to grave illnesses is STRESS! Well, STRESS is inevitable but all we can do is take it easy and take our lives in strides. After all, we only have 1 life to live, live it to fullest.

My wife used to be doing make-up professionally. It was after the birth of our son when she got really engrossed with this passion of hers. She even planned on going to a formal school such as this cosmetology school , just so she could harness her skills and talent. However, with her change of career plans, she decided to pursue her masters. I still believe that she will more likely practice her craft one of these days. And I will support her 100% if and when she decides to go to a formal beauty or make-up school or if she just wants to do this as her sideline.

Google before you Tweet,
is the new way to Think before you Speak!
Gosh, this is so true! People these days want to take the short cut and the most convenient way. Like how most people would take fat burners instead of sweating it all out through exercise and living a healthier life through proper diet. The world is changing, indeed. Sad but very true!

Children are blessings, I believe that
. That is why I am one of those who are very much against abortion, it is just not right. A twitter friend has been trying to conceive and she shared this in her blog which she got from EHow.com. I guess this would benefit anyone who is trying to convince. Read and follow this by heart and when that big day comes, do not forget to take your over the counter prenatal vitamins.
Step 1
Stop using contraception. There are some arguments about how soon you can start trying to conceive after discontinuing certain birth control methods. Discuss this issue with your OBGYN as their opinion might be different than anyone else. There are some methods that might take up to eighteen months before a woman’s ovulation cycles are normal again.
Step 2
Change your diet. If you and your partner’s current diet is lacking the recommended amounts of fruits, vegetables, grains, calcium and folic acid, it might affect both male and female reproductive organs. In addition to a well balanced diet for mom to be, she should begin taking a prenatal vitamin with folic acid a few months before trying to conceive. The balanced diet will also help if there are any concerns about being an ideal weight prior to conception.
Step 3
Stop smoking, using drugs and drinking alcohol. This is for both males and females.
Step 4
Create an ovulation calendar. Women are most fertile anytime between ten and eighteen days from the first day of their last menstrual cycle. You can choose to have intercourse every day in between these eight days or every other day. Once the egg is released, it is only viable for 12 to 24 hours.
Step 5
Let gravity work for you. Some doctors will advise you to remain lying down with a pillow under the pelvic region for up to 30 minutes after intercourse to increase your chances of conceiving. This act is said to create a “pool” of sperm in the cervix.
Step 6
Reduce any stress in your life! Stress could lower sperm count and hinder ovulation. The more you worry, the longer it will take to conceive a baby. Just relax and let things happen naturally.
