Customer Service at SM Supermarket Bacolod

The LCD of my husband’s laptop conked out just a couple of weeks after the one-year warranty expired. Although we feel bad, we have no choice but to find a replacement. We really do not have a budget for this, as we thought the laptop would last for at least 3 years. This is used […]

Having Money Problems

My husband and I had a lot of money problems this year. Our expenses suddenly shot up because of illness in the family. Most of it were some ailments that hit my daughter while there were also times that my husband and I got sick because we were just too tired of working and taking […]

Not a Lot of Noise for The New Year

When I was a child, I remembered that as early as December 1, booming firecrackers can already be heard nearby. Although intermittently, it would continue everyday in increasing loudness and frequency which culminated on Christmas eve (December 24) and on New Year’s Eve (December 31). And on January 1 and 2 of the following year, […]

Christmas Gifts for Couples

Wow, it is December 1 already. It seems like the whole year was a swirl and whirl and it is the year end once again. Last Christmas, I remembered that our daughter Dindin got a lot of Christmas gifts and cash gifts from family and friends. She was really happy and excited as she opened […]

Phone In Insurance

Because I have four credit cards from three different banks and a good credit score, insurance companies are always calling me for phone in insurance offers. I hate to be rude, but sometimes, they really take so much of my time and would not accept no for an answer the first time. Sometimes, I will […]

On the Topic of Separation

When we were still dating, Dennis and I had been on rocky soil, too. As with many other couples, we had our own problems. We fought a lot of many different issues that looking back during those times, one would say that these two are not gonna make it together in life if they got […]

Making Both Ends Meet

Like with most lower middle class couples (yeah, we have determined that my husband and I are in the lower middle class strata because of our combined monthly income), we also have our share of financial problems. This year had been a really tough year for us because of our baby’s health problems. Not only […]
