Looking for Elegant Dresses, Tops, Etc.?

Last year, I had my first ninang (godmother) experience. No, not in a baptism but in a wedding. At first, I was hesitant to accept the invitation but they say it's not good to decline such. Besides the person who invited me to become one of their principal sponsors is my son's first nanny who stayed with us for almost 2 years.

Now, a colleague  invited me and my husband to their principal sponsors in their wedding that scheduled this April. We accept it and the fact that we are really getting old, haha. Seriously, the fact they are getting us as ninong and ninang is an honor. Maybe they are seeing our married life as inspiration. Though I am not claiming we have a perfect marriage ha.

So that's the story behind why I am writing this post. Because I am now looking for an elegant dress for that wedding I will be attending. Since malls are close because of the community quarantine, I search online and find this nice site, kis.net. My heart skips when I saw how elegant and lovely their dresses are. Just like this one.

KIS is a large clothing manufacturer, which focus more on attractive designs, fine tailoring processes, high quality and comfortable material for their well-cut clothes.

Their products are always staying ahead of the trends. They have a continuous supply of stylish designs from women tops to bottoms, inside to outside, swimwear, floral dresses, casual maxi dresses, vintage dresses, and more. They are selling wholesale dresses too.

So have I found the dress for the wedding I am looking for?  I am eyeing this elegant dress.

It would be perfect if its color is gold but only pink is available. Anyway, the dress still looks amazing.

So if you are looking for elegant dresses go to kis.net and check out their on-going sale. And if you found the one you like, please comment down. I would love to see your pick.

Media Noche 2020

We are just in the 3rd month of the year, yet we have been through a lot. I don't know what went wrong but I know most of us followed tradition to have a bountiful and blessed New Year.

2020 doesn't start the way we expect it to be. Forest fire in Australia, Taal volcanic eruption and imminent war between Iraq and US welcomed us in January. Late January, Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) news in China scared us. And just this month, as many countries locked down due to virus spread, Luzon was placed under quarantine and the whole country under state of emergency.

So much happening in just three months and we all woke up one day that everything is so different. Suddenly tomorrow is unsure. It's scary but we need to trust God because He knows what is best for us.

On the lighter side, let me share how we welcome 2020. These photos remind me that come what may, we have our family to give us hope and strength in this trying times.

I am thankful that I have these two boys who makes my life easier. They are big help especially in house chores since we don't have a helper now.

They help me cook our Media Noche food.

Set the up the table.

Prepare the fruits for a lucky year.

Our lucky charms.

We prepare a lot for just the three of us. May in-laws didn't come because my father-in-law, who is now with God, was sick then. I will have a separate post for that one of these days.

Anyway, we have fruit salad as usual.

The macaroni salad.

My spaghetti.

Barbeque of course.

Daddy's airfried liempo.

Palitaw for a stickier relationship closer family.

We have taken a lot of photos. Thanks to the cellphone tripod that we have bought from Divisoria. But I will just share a few happy photos of us.

Our little boy is such a cutie, right?

His laughter is so contagious.

Finally, our cheers to welcome 2020.

That's it. I'll share naman our New Tear's day next.

Again, trust God with His plan. Whatever is happening right now, He is in control. 

Keep on praying.

1. Information

You will need to get the other driver’s personal information, the auto’s license, and his or her insurance info. If you have your phone with you, snap photos of each of the documents, and take pictures of the accident scene. If you can get information from witnesses, ask if you can tape their statement and snap a photo of each of them.

2. Injuries

If you or a passenger have injuries, ask the police officer at the scene to call an ambulance. If you don’t feel any injuries immediately after the accident but start hurting during the following week, contact medical personnel for a consultation.

3. Chiropractor

During the collision, your body may have been thrown around. The day after the accident, your body may begin to be sore in many areas, especially your back. Call a chiropractor Lincoln Square, to adjust your spine, give you a deep muscle massage, or apply some heat therapy.

Don’t forget to call an attorney to handle the insurance paperwork and find you a medical team to support your injuries. Your lawyer can also help you locate a chiropractor that understands how badly the body can be damaged during an accident.

Types of Insurance

It is important for people to make sure they protect their most important assets with insurance. Of course, when someone is looking for insurance, there are lots of types to consider. Two of the most important types of insurance are home insurance and car insurance.

Types of Car Insurance

Car insurance is required to drive on the open road legally. There are multiple levels of car insurance. The most basic types of car insurance is called liability only. This is an insurance policy that will pay to fix the other person’s car if the policyholder is in an auto accident. Of course, people would probably like to have their own car fixed as well. This is where collision insurance is key. Collision insurance will pay to fix both cars if an accident takes place; however, if a car is damaged in a natural disaster, this policy will not cover this type of damage. This is where a comprehensive policy is key. To learn more about auto accident insurance, it is a good idea to speak with an insurance agency Big Spring TX.

Homeowner’s Insurance

Another key type of insurance is called home insurance. For most people, a home is their most valuable investment. Therefore, it deserves to be protected. While many people will get home insurance through the mortgage lender, it is still a good idea to take a look at the various options available. People should make sure the insurance policy covers not only theft but also earthquakes, floods, wind, and more. Home insurance is often overlooked; however, it is critical.

Invest in Insurance for Valuable Protection

Insurance plays a key role in protecting valuable assets. There are multiple types of insurance out there and people need to take the time to find the policy that is right for them.

What You Should Know About Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

Like any other parents, I am too worried about how rapidly coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is spreading. In fact, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus a pandemic on Wednesday as it spreads in more than 100 countries around the world, which includes Philippines.

President Rodrigo Duterte puts Metro Manila under 30-day ‘community quarantine’. This prohibits traveling to and from the national capital until April 14 and banning “planned or spontaneous” mass gatherings. Also, the suspension of classes in the metropolis (and in near by province like Bulacan) is extended until April 12. This is after the Department of Health confirmed 52 cases and five deaths from the pneumonia-like disease COVID-19.

Sounds really scary but getting the right information can save lives. Here are what you should know about coronavirus disease (source: www.unicef.org);

Like what I have said, spreading awareness on coronavirus disease can save lives. Proper hand washing, having good hygiene, and boosting our immune system can keep us safe from the disease. Also, in times like this we should stay calm, don't worry and trust God. He is always in control.

Stay safe everyone!

Traits of A Successful Landlord

Photo source

Being a landlord can be rather tricky. There are so many things you must keep up with and be aware of. Some traits are more important than others. Here are three that can sometimes be neglected.

Knowledgeable

Know what your rules are and clearly define them when you receive new tenants. Steven Taylor Taylor Equities will have a packet of papers that are given to each new client. This shows people what to expect before they are renting an apartment. It can save you from potential fights and issues because the policies have been clearly defined.

Available

When your tenants are trying to get a hold of you, make sure you are available. This does not mean you have to answer the phone as soon as they call or text, but you should be prompt when getting back to them. You will need to learn the proper balance for when to reply to your clients and when to take some time for yourself.

Punctual

If something has broken at your complex, you need to promptly fix it. Your tenants will begin to assume that you are not responsible and begin to doubt your capabilities as a landlord. Repairs are important to stay on top of no matter how small they may seem.

No matter the number of tenants you have, you should still desire to be the best landlord you can be. Applying these traits can help you reach that goal.
