Perfect timing

Another motto that I and Ace are living with now is “there’s a time for everything”. You see, we aren’t into saving much this time because we are still in the stage of personal gratification aside from our monthly financial obligations. I was concerned about this one time so I told him (in a worried manner) “we aren’t saving” and he immediately replied “there’s a time for that. For now let’s just enjoy the fruit of our labor”. Exactly! Let’s enjoy life! Coming from my husband’s mouth who is such as worrier for the future? He must have changed his paradigm. That made me think, it’s ok to shop!LOL. We are taking turns in spoiling each other and we both love it! Hence, there’s always time for everything.

A time to shop and a time to save

A time to enjoy life and a time to worry about the future

A time splurge on things and a  time to buy gold bullion for investment

A time to sow and a time to reap the rewards of what we sow.

Truly, things in life has its own perfect timing. Life is great only if you know how to enjoy the moment and not focus on worrying about what we will eat tomorrow, in short, trust in HIM.

Sure hit

Stock trading got my interest. But until now I can’t find time or should I say I don’t find time to sit down and learn the tricks of online trading. It must be a nice investment but I know it’s not rocket science and the fact that I will be “playing” with money, I must be sure that I know the technicalities before jumping into it.

However, investing and making money out of the investment is not only in stock trading for there are other means like investing in gold. Since gold is one thing with market value that is not depreciating, it’s great to invest in gold stock trading or better yet buy gold bullion to make sure your investment will not be put to waste. The good news is, gold stock trading is will hit Thailand….and I hope it will make its way to the Philippines! Yay!

Home business

I am contemplating of a nice business to help support in our daily needs should I get tired of working online and blogging. Or, it could be a good business that I can do at home. Aside from the online store of goods from the US (which I and Ate Eunice have planned), what interests me is making Durian goodies. I am not so impressed with the packaging of our existing Durian delicacies here in Davao. It is far different how other places pack their delicacies. It’s world-class! I was so impressed with the packaging of the Pili Nuts from Bicol Region, the Peanut Kisses of Bohol, the Pastel of Camiguin, the Dried Mangoes of Cebu, and other provinces. So if I make my own Durian goodies, the big difference from the existing brands is the packaging. Of course the taste will always be the same. I can make it taste like Lola Abon’s, I assure myself!hahaha. Oh well, that’s a long way to go. Before my Durian candies will be known, I have to have a name first. So a brand name is needed to apply for a business permit. And getting a business permit requires a lot of effort, a lot of documents, etc. that I may need the services of a bookkeeper or a CPA firm like the Kondler CPA to take care of everything. That if I wanted a hassle-free processing. Oh, my bad! Kondler is a Las Vegas cpa firm so it’s impossible for me to get their services. But I will truly recommend them to friends in Vegas who are looking for CPA firms to take care of their financial statements and tax compliance. Kondler CPA also offers business consulting so it’s a plus. So friends in Vegas, why not try the services of Kondler CPA. I’m sure you’ll be one happy business owner.

Invest on coins

People have different preference when it comes to investment. It depends on each other’s experiences and belief, I guess. Many are putting money in developing farm lots like my Daddy’s older brother. He used to buy land and plant it with mango trees. When the trees are on its fruit-bearing stage, he would then sell it. Since the farm is developed and the mangoes are already profitable, market value is really high so he earns a lot from it. That kind of business needs a lot of money so if I were to invest my money (which I don’t have now*lol*), I would go for something that isn’t tiring, or doesn’t need much of my attention like buying gold coins. This kind of investment is really easy as all I need to do is buy gold coins from reputable dealers (yes, make sure it’s reputable and reliable), keep it in a bank’s safe or keep those coins by yourself. When the market value goes high, then the coins could be sold. Easy profit, right? Hmmm….investing in coins is what I am actually thinking to venture (if we’ll have money for it). But I still need to look for a reliable company like Monex Deposit Company where I should get the gold coins.

Great investment

Been considering of ways to invest your money for additional income? I really do and I am considering stock trading. My HS friend and his wife are doing it for quite sometime now and they said it’s a good source of additional income. Stocks is also a good investment. However, if stock trading would not be possible for other people, there are other ways to invest like buying gold coins for gold is one thing that never depreciates. True gold coins are available in www.monex.com and one has the option to either keep it in a safe at a bank or have it delivered at home. If only monex.com is making business here, I might be one of the people who will buy gold for investment.

Vending machines

When I was still a kid I was always fascinated at the vending machines that I see in TV or in movies (because there’s no vending machines in the province). I thought that was cool! Just dropping your coins into the vendo and presto you have your drinks or whatever the vendo is “selling”. Later on I realized that was a cool business because there’s no need to rent for a space and hire people to man the business which means one can run the vending machine business from home. Sounds interesting? Yes, it’s a nice business for those who are considering to work from home because there’s no need to oversee it running day in and day out. Interested in this kind of business? Check out www[dot]vendstar[dot]com for the many selection of bulk candy vending machines. Must be nice to have one and start from there.

DATE

DATE (Davao Trade Expo) is nearing (though I don’t know when exactly it will be) but I already saw posters about the upcoming event. It is a yearly event but never did I had the chance attending one. I really wanted to go even before (ever since I am still working with Macondray) but the nature of my job doesn’t require me to be there so I always missed the opportunity of attending the expo.

During Macondray days, I would know DATE is a few days to go because I could see my training classmate who was assigned in Sales and Marketing Dept. prepare for the event such that she would pull out the tarp standies of the company’s products and prepare the cardboard display for the product descriptions. It is indeed very convenient for her to prepare everything for she doesn’t need heavy display boards where to set-up the products.  Hope I could find time to visit this year’s expo.

Alternative source of income

Seriously I’ve been thinking of venturing into online stock trading as an additional or alternative source of income because we don’t know till when we will be working with our fulltime jobs or with my blogging. Though we have stable sources of income from both mine and Ace’ fulltime job, it is still wise to find alternative ways to earn so we won’t be financially paralyzed should we instantly decide to leave our jobs or the company we are working for will decide to stop giving us a source of living. However, we aren’t too knowledgeable in stock trading that makes us doubtful if we really could do it. Glad there’s PowerOptions®, that could be of help by providing options express – an easy-to-use software in managing data and doing the trading business online. Another good thing with PowerOptions® is the 14-day free trial, a good way to know if we’ll be doing good with it or not.

Precious metals investment

Aside from online stock trading that got me interested, I was also thinking of a good way to invest money (should I have extra money to invest) and that is i-don’t -know-when. But for friends who are looking for great investments without so much hassle, not demanding of time and effort, I would recomment buying gold in either coins or bullions because gold is one thing that isn’t depreciating. Almost everyday its market value appreciates so it is a good investment that one could never go wrong (unless you get the fake ones). To make sure that one is dealing with real gold coins or bars, purchase it from Monex Deposit Company for they are the leading precious metals investment company for over 30 years. Hence, they are reliable when we talk about precious metals investment.

Trading

Last year we thought about going into stock trading venture since one of my HS classmate is into it and he and his wife are willing to teach us how to go about it. Then the interest just fade away maybe because we are not confident enough to go into risky investment on our own. But as I was reading about PowerOptions this morning, I learned that stock trading has many options and that I could always seek professional help to provide the necessary assistance that I need to make sure that I will be making money out of my investment. PowerOptions provide investors with decision support technology to be sure of the highest ROI. Hence, stock trading is a lot easier with PowerOptions.
