My Consoling Asylum

I admit I was a one-day millionaire. I would go buy in a day all the things that I want and find out the next day that I had almost ran out of cash. I was expensive, as well as extravagant. I can’t be satisfied with buying unbranded purchases, such as clothes, perfumes, and some other caprices. I was the type who would not survey every store and compare the prices. I didn’t know what I missed, and how big I could have saved if I were a wiser spender.

When you go shopping, it is really wise to get to every possible store that sells what you want, so you can compare the prices and buy the one that sells the cheapest. It is also advisable to shop on seasons where discounts are given. That could save every shopper a lot, and buy more things than the usual shopping. There are also the times of the year where big discounts are given, like school opening, Christmas season, the New Year, and a lot more.

If it’s Christmas and you really want to save big on your shopping pursuit, you can buy items on Black Friday, that’s after Thanksgiving. Buying online at this time would not only save you money but also the effort the buy the things you need. There is no more the hassle of having to queue in a store in the earliest time possible just so to get your things bought early, lest you will be ran out of stock. On Black Friday, you can receive email alerts telling you about the latest offers, so you won’t be left behind.

Shopping should never really be expensive. Shopping should be done wisely, and I am happy that I am now a wiser shopper…

What do you do when you badly need cash and payday is still many days away? Whine? Panic? Worry? Worry no more. There are a lot of possible, sure-fire solutions. Just open your eyes to all the possibilities of getting cash quick and secured.

You can avail of a cash advance loan if you want. All you have to do is get to your nearest loan company or your trusted agency. At first, I admit I was kind of afraid of these loans but when I delved deeper into this matter, it became all too clear to me that getting a loan does not compromise you or your finances at all but help you instead to have financial security. I have yet to try it myself though, and with all the readings about loans I am now less apprehended of the thought of availing this service or offer. Why not give it a try yourself?

When I say fast, it really should be fast. I am the type of person who wants everything gets done in the soonest time possible, and the type who values time like a bar of gold. Time is gold they say. Whoever first said that is really wise, as time equals money, at least for me.

If you are efficient in doing your tasks, you can do more of that and be more productive. More productive means more compensation. Time really matters.

If you felt the need to get loans, time is still of the essence. There are times when we need emergency cash and therefore what we need are fast cash payday loans so to hasten the execution of whatever it is that we will use the money for. It is important to know what loan company to trust, something that does live up to the word “fast” and not only claim it. So choose wisely your loan provider.

For many professionals and working individuals, Friday may always be the most awaited day as it is the end of the week, plus it is payday! But in my case, I can only rejoice on the former aspect; that it is the end of the week, and the end to a seemingly discouraging pursuit.

The thought of going on hospital training with us as the ones who pay rather than being paid is somewhat funny. But honestly I am not discouraged; I am even enjoying my training, although it is sad that I get no compensation for that.

This training requires everyone to spend for himself, of course. And there are really those times that I wish to quit because of the seemingly lack of finances. If I just took other jobs then I would have been earning by now. My blog’s earning is not a lot, that’s why sometimes too I think of considering pay day loans. But how? I don’t even have a job to pay for that. Ha ha. Well anyway for those of you who do have a job and is on tight finances, you can consider that loan too. Thought I needed to share you that…

It is summertime, and if I were not doing my hospital training I would have gone for the summertime vacation. Going to a beach would be on top priority, as it has been a year already since my last visit to a beach, and I am dearly missing the sand, the sun, and the splashes.

If not to a beach, it would be lovely to be visiting many provinces too, especially to our relatives’ area, to experience once again the pastoral way of living, to breathe fresh air, to be with nature.

But going on vacation really does require someone to have a lot of money, as vacation may mean expenses. Good thing there are those companies that offer vacation loans. These loans will help a lot. To avail these you just need to have an active job, a phone number, and either a savings or checking account and they will help get you the money you need.

Good thing there are offers like this, so someone who want s to go on a vacation but without sufficient funds can now have the vacation he wants.

After having known that I am one of those 100 trainees qualified for the hospital training, it occurred to me immediately that since the duty days are from Monday to Friday, I should be get me a new pair of nursing uniform. I had two when I was still a student nurse, and had another one, our gala uniform, when he had our Pinning Ceremony (professional pin). So all in all I had three, but then I rather was disgusted of the thought of wearing my two old uniforms, as I will look like a student with it, as the design is almost always what male student nurses wear now--that white uppers with buttons on the side. Ew, I really hate that design.

And as I am a sucker for polo shirts or polos, I then designed my own uniform in a scratch paper (my erroneous exhibit forms) and had it immediately forwarded to a seamstress to have it done. It has many buttons: one on each side on the collars, two on each ends of the sleeves, two on the lower lateral edges on the front of the shirt, and another two on the lower lateral edges on the front of the pants (see image).

I really am not a fan of traveling, especially by land, although I love to visit new, exciting places. Perhaps this has something to do with not being able to drive, let alone having a car or any land vehicle to drive. It is really a hassle to be jumping from a land vehicle to another to do the double, and sometimes triple, rides just so to get to the place where I wanted to be.

Really, if only I knew how to drive I would have just opted to rent a car to smoothen my traveling activities. That should help a lot, especially that I cannot afford to buy me a car (not now, anyway). In renting a car you should choose not only what is cheap but is also worth the cheapness. I am talking about the good worth of “cheapness”. Something that is really affordable and yet positively reasonable like what Advantage car rental offers. They even have specials and discounts that are sure to make your traveling more comfortable and memorable, featuring the access to use new makes in SUVs, cars, trucks, and minivans.

Traveling, whether for a long vacation or a pleasure sojourn, should be worth your time, effort, and most of all money. That is why you have to choose the best that will make your travel a memorable one.

In the Philippines, several new words have been coined, words that have gained national attention and usage, and most of these slangs are formulated by gays no less. The typical Filipino gays are primarily those who rampantly do neologisms, fabricating words that do not only entertain by the comical tone or sound of them but also to serve as word codes, esoteric to their advantage, so to conceal the words that may be so offensive or disgusting to the other listeners, as Filipino gays, the typical ones, tend to be very vulgar and uninhibited.

I really wanted to try buy and sell. When I bought my second-hand phone last month I was really amazed of the thought that I can profit much from doing a buy-and-sell business. There are those phones that really cost cheap, even when they're still slightly used by the original owners, and therefore will be lucrative if I sold them at a much higher price.

Trouble is I had not enough money to start that microbusiness. Oh well I will surely venture into that if I already have the resources. Buy and sell is really a great business as far as I see it in those who do it. It does not take much of something in you, you just have to be determined. And if you plan of buying or selling belongings or properties, I think it would also be wise to consult brokers as they are knowledgeable on these matters, especially on a large scale business. You can find for a list broker or two to help you get the best of your buying or selling (or both) pursuits.
