Need Vs. Want

In my quest for financial freedom, my needs and my wants are two of the primary concerns that need to be dealt with accordingly. While I usually prioritize my needs over my wants, there are a few occasions when my wants take the center stage and my needs take a back seat.

Listerine Total Care Challenge: The Pre-Challenge Dental Check-Up (Week 1)

Part of the challenge to get total care from Listerine is to have pre- and post- challenge dental check up. I had mine last Friday afternoon at the Villareal Dental Clinic (Pasay City Branch). I asked for an appointment prior to my visit and was checked by a dentist there.

May 3, 2010 is a Non-Working Holiday!

The government has changed its mind and decided to make May 3, 2010 a non-working holiday, in observance of Labor Day (supposedly May 1, a Saturday). What a pleasant surprise! So, what does this mean to me? Another day to spend in the suburbs with my family in our new Cavite home! But I’m still unsure though if I’m staying that long or not. We plan to go to Enchanted Kingdom on Sunday for the post-birthday celebration of Albie. (We’re taking their adorable twin cousins with us!) Proximity-wise, going straight to Manila is a better option than going back to Cavite.

Most Expensive Mobile Phone in the World

Last Saturday while in Glorietta 4, Makati, I saw what could be one of the most expensive mobile phones in the world today. The brand is Vertu and it costs a whopping P383,000. That’s more or less $ 8,326 USD. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

This little discovery prompted me to research on Vertu. I learned it’s a pioneering luxury mobile phone brand and it’s a division of Nokia. According to reports, it currently monopolizes the global market for luxury mobile phones. Okay. Fine.

In fairness with the phone, it has sleek design and looks quite sophisticated. If I had money though, I still wouldn’t buy it because I prefer function and quality over design and prestige when it comes to my mobile phones. :)

Manual Scrapbooking Vs. Online Scrapbooking

I was introduced to the wonderful hobby of scrapbooking by my former officemates in my previous work. They said they got hooked on it after having seen their work for the first time. Scrapbooking is indeed a very worthwhile activity. Not only are you flexing your creative muscles each time you do it, you are also making something with your bare hands which for me is a great source of fulfillment.

When online scrapbooking became popular, I was one of those who got a bit sad. While online scrapbooking is easier to do as it gives you more ideas and greater flexibility, I believe it defeats the purpose of using your bare hands. That’s why I still favor manual scrapbooking over the online one.

Speaking of scrapbooking, I just realized I have already forgotten my goal to improve on this art. I think it’s about time I replenish my supply of discount scrapbooking paper and start making colorful scrapbooks again. After all, my photos are starting to accumulate in my hard drive. Time to have them printed for use in my future scrapbook projects.
