Metal Rooster in the Metal Tiger Year

The Chinese year of the Tiger officially begins before noon time tomorrow. I’m not really fond of Astrology and Feng Shui but recent talks about such in our Twitter group enticed me to research about how the husband and I, both born in the year of the Metal Rooster will fare in this Metal Tiger year. Here are some notes I took down:

*On wealth and career: The rooster will see its wealth increase in the first half of the year because the yang metal in the first half of the tiger year 2010 will produce a strong impact. It will be the year for the rooster to be showered with lucky signs, work wise.

*On health: If you have put more effort into your wardrobe than your physical fitness recently, this is definitely the time to turn over a new leaf. Physical self-improvement could be the most important thing you do this year, and it will impact every area of your life. So to colon and body cleanse must be a perfect goal this year.

*On relationships: Personal relationships could flourish for Roosters this year, as 2010 is poised to be an active time, with many social engagements and opportunities to connect, or re-connect with friends and family.

In general, a lucky and promising year is ahead of us. Great!

Mouth-Watering.

“Did you ever see the customers in health-food stores? They are pale, skinny people who look half dead. In a steak house, you see robust, ruddy people. They’re dying, of course, but they look terrific.”
~Bill Cosby

I browsed my flickr gallery this afternoon and this one particularly caught my attention. This has been buried in the archives but every time I see this mouth-watering meal, I can still recall how scrumptious this was and how it exactly tickled my taste buds. The cholesterol meter might be high with these two patties but it’s just actually okay to eat with not much guilt once in a while. Just make sure, of course, that your daily dose of adipex p is ever ready to counteract the unwanted fats.

Fingertips.

Isn’t it amazing how Google and other search engines provide instant research items in just one click? When I was younger and internet was scarcely available, I depended on our encyclopedias as well as research books in the library for my assignments and projects. The card catalog was an ever reliable “friend” in the library. But now, just by typing the keywords like “diets that work” in a search engine will yield not just one but numerous references across the web. Truly, the answer to our questions is just on our fingertips.

The Graduate

Our youngest sibling will attend their Commencement Exercises on March 26. I can’t believe that he’s grown up and soon, will be working and make use of his Marketing degree. I remember when he was younger, he wanted to be a cop someday being inspired by a neighbor who was a one of the greatest police officers we’ve seen. Come college time, he was encouraged by our Dad to take up Commerce instead so he can help him in his business someday.

My brother is happy and satisfied with his Marketing degree but I won’t be surprised if he’ll pursue his Criminology dream. While gaining work experience in the corporate world, he can actually take advantage of earning an online criminal justice degree through online colleges specifically Northwestern College. The fundamental concepts of justice, law and society order will be taught with much expertise to help him achieve his dream to become a police officer, loss prevention specialist, parole officer, security expert, or a family services worker. As the college commit, enrolling in their online school is the first step toward improving society.

A Cam on His Dream Board

If the husband will have a dream board, I am very sure that a camera will be part of that. Not just an ordinary camera but the latest release and the newest high end DSLR that is out in the market. Between the two of us, he’s actually the one who’s more interested in photography and I must admit, he has the better eye. Too bad, we are working on our top priority now that we can not splurge in this hobby. It would be great if he is equipped with a wide range of the greatest lenses and other photography accessories. For now, I’ll be monitoring closely our home budget software and hopefully, I can make way and have some spare savings so I can buy him the lens he’s been longing to have on his birthday in three months.

Found Her.

Thanks to social networking sites, I finally got connected to a long time friend I’ve been hunting for several years now. She’s one of my closest friends in High School but lost connection when we went to different colleges years later. She has now migrated abroad and is pursuing a medical career in a clinic somewhere in California. Unmarried still but she’s so occupied with work and graduate studies. She looks so good, she has her own car, a house which I think is situated in an exclusive Orange County real estate. There’s an aura of fulfillment in her face just by looking at her various photos. Oh boy, I wish we can meet soon and catch up with each others’ lives.

LCD TV and His Dream Lens.

Just when we’re all set and now saving up for a LCD TV (just LCD because there’s no way we can afford led tvs), the husband suddenly relinquished his desire to buy a new lens for our Nikky D60. My heart’s kinda breaking actually because if Acerito (Acer laptop) didn’t conk out last December, I could have bought him his dream lens as Christmas gift. But then, the husband loves me so much that he gave way, let me buy a new laptop for myself (which is a necessity in my line of worK) and he said that he can wait. I can see that he really yearns for that so aside from the LCD TV we’ll be having for the new house, I’ll work extra harder and strive to save for his dream lens in time for his birthday on May.

Knock Knock!

I never knew about the different door types until now that we’re building our own house. I mean, I didn’t know that the standard and the most popular type of door is called a Slab. And that there are actually five types of door hardwares to choose from and the most expensive is the French type that costs about $1,500 to $5,500. A French type has two door panels that lock in the middle and swing in or out.

Other types are the Gliding, Dutch, and Bifold.

So what type of door does your humble abode has?

Gold Bullion and The Economy

With news of inflation and a fluctuating, unsteady market trend, I am somehow confused if now is the perfect time to buy gold bullion. Honestly, I think I need to delve my Economics books and refresh how these economic factors behave and how they affect the world finance market as a whole. I’ve read a finance primer over the web that tackled about the status of commodities: crude oil and gold prices. I got lost comprehending their behavior and all I know is that gold is seen with somewhat aggressive rallies each month since the last quarter of 2009. And that, as the world recovers bit by bit from the economic recession, many experts believe that the precious metal market is seen with brighter and better figures.
