Someone special

We all have our standards when it comes to the person we want to spend the rest of our lives with. But notice that most often than not, we end up with the person who is the complete opposite of what we are. There are those who end up with their ideal partner. They are the exceptions to the norm.

They said that we should wish to be with someone who complements us. So that the weakness of one, can be overcome by the strength of the other.

It’s so funny how we set qualifications for the right person to love, while at the back of our minds we know that the person we truly love will always be an exception.

Pimple = In love?

When you are in love, you tend to develop acne. True or false? Of course it isn’t true! But I remember when I was younger, my older relatives tended to tease me about being in love when they see a pimple on my face. My mom was instantly on alert on hearing the teasing because she didn’t want me to be in love right away. She wanted me to concentrate on my studies first before I think of boys. And looking back, I really value the effort done by my mom to protect me. Otherwise, I would have probably be off with a man who barely knows who I really am.

Backing up files

I need to back up all the files in our desktop computer. I have my own laptop now but I was using the desktop before that. We stored all the photos we took during our trips with the relatives in the desktop. Plus some of my old files as well as the files of my sisters and some personal photos of my brother. We believe that the desktop computer is about to crash. Now I am just waiting for a gadget and computer equipment sale so I can buy the necessary equipment I need to back up all the files in the desktop before it really crashes.

A friend told me all about Buy.com’s Weekly Deals. Just go to Buy.com and find a great deal like the Cavalry CAUM Series CAUM37500 Hard Drive that will be the perfect tool for me to back up all the files in the old desktop. Just to let you know how good a deal this Hard Drive is: it retails for $89.99 but since it is included in the Weekly Deals, it is now available for only $69.99 after rebate. And shipping is free!

I was an impulsive buyer before. But I think as you grow older, you tend to be more discerning. You tend to prioritize things more than when you are younger. So instead of buying things right away, I now look for items on sale. Buy.com will now be my number one source for items. Saving even on shipping cost is a lot nowadays. I suggest that you check out Buy.com now for more items on sale!

Living independently

Two of my cousins who are in their 20s will be moving out of their respective parents’ homes to start living on their own. It is a big decision for both of them because both grew up being pampered by their parents. When we were together about two months ago, we got to talk about being independent. An older cousin of ours who grew up pampered just like them is already married now, has four kids and still relies and depends on her parents for almost everything. We all do not want another occurrence of this in our family. Being one of the older cousins, I was adamant that the younger ones will not end up like our Ate Espie.

I am helping them move out. I am calling boston moving companies to help them out with the actual move. I am proud of these kids because they have stepped up. They are already working and they figured out it is high time for the both of them to get out of their comfort zones and start being independent. Both are boys and I told them they don’t want to end up depending forever on their parents. They should start practicing being man of the house.
