compost tumbler

In school, they had launched the Clean and Green campaign in the campus.  And we particularly liked the idea of composting made easy using compost tumbler which can turn a boring garden into a green sight to behold.   Information dissemination regarding recycling and waste segregation attracted a lot of interested students and parents alike.

I listened attentively and took note of all pertinent information that I can pass on to my grandmother whose hobby is to tend her garden tirelessly.  Gardening makes her mobile and we allow her to move around in her garden as an exercise activity for her instead of  sitting idly in her rocking chair.    The compost tumbler will no doubt will be of great help to my grandmom.

I wonder how much it cost?  I’ll better start saving now…

Greengeeks review

Choosing the right and best web hosting provider is tough these days with the proliferation of countless providers available.  Promises of fast and consistent servers and good technical support enticed  good number of gullible costumers who regret it later on.  That is why my dad is very meticulous and very careful when it comes in to service providers and go at great lengths comparing one from the other, the pros and cons and spend most time reading especially the greengeeks review when his office mate recommended him a site said to be worth visiting to aid his endless dad’s search for the best provider.  Okey, we understand he is picky but he always finds and get the best quality of whatever he is looking for.

And before we know it, Joomla Web Hosting company got the elusive nod of approval of my dad.   I can’t blame him because he wants to get his hard earned monies worth in terms of service and support.

Led lights

I was not surprise at all when an electrician uncle came for a visit.   Apparently, my mom sent for  him to do something about our electrical fixtures and to check the lighting in our condo unit.  Hmmm… I remember now, in one of my regular chatting with her, she pointed out  our high electric consumption every month.   My siblings and I are living in a condo unit away from them and we were taught to handle our finances wisely.  All bills are scanned and sent to mom at the end of the month for her to check and our allowance will follow afterwards.

Mom is  hoping that with led lights Uncle Don will install in our computer room, it might help arrest  the escalating energy bill we have monthly.  He will also check our electrical appliances especially our A/C unit.  Huh!  Very unlikely that mom obviously is getting so particular with bills nowadays.

I guess, she is saving for her botox job because one time we teased her about the evident frown and laugh lines on her face.

Best things in life are free!

It is heartwarming to note that in this modern world that people crazily hunger for things, possessions, money even  love for a price and yet there are still services and things that are given for free.

As a student dependent on allowances sent by my parents, I have to penny pinch and mastered the art of budgeting.  I had also had known my needs from my wants.  Thanks to my Mom who taught me how to save to buy something at a later time bysetting aside money every week.  That is why, finally last week when I was able to buy the latest cellphone I’ve been eyeing since December, I can ‘t help but be proud of myself.   I was sure glad that there are available  free iphone apps download that certainly had saved me from hurting my budget for the month and I was ecstatic on many apps downloads like the Anti virus which I installed right away to protect my mobile phone from viruses.   I  also wasted no time downloading free available online games which are exciting  and I had shared too with my youngest brother.   Well, need I brag about my gadget which is now complete with applications?

Indeed, I am a money smart person and resourceful at that!

Receipt printer

 My aunt  just told me that  mom instructed her to monitor our monthly expenses.   I had this feeling that she thinks that we are already going overboard with our expenditures, because the allowance she just remitted is almost gone barely 15 days after she sent it thru door to door delivery.  Actually, I already sent her an email with detailed explanations but still, she would like to see the breakdown of our weekly expenses.

So, starting this week, I will see to it that I will only buy our needs from grocery stores with receipt printer to support the list of expenses I am going to send her montly.

I understand Mom- she is only teaching us how to check and balance the hard earned money she and our dad regularly sends us.
