A Mothers Horizon

1 day more to go and it will be ‘ber’ months… that would mean holiday is almost near. I’m actually excited because after 4 years we will finally celebrate our Christmas in Manila. My son is really happy and looking forward on that special day. And when you talk about holidays that would also mean gift giving.

I’m sure everyone will be preparing little gifts for their family and friends. But if you’re thinking of something special for a loved one, you can give a special gift such as gold. Base on what I read, gold is a tremendous gift during the holiday season. By giving a gold bullion coin, you are giving a loved one an investment that has intrinsic value. Also with that gift, you are opening up a new investment idea to your loved ones. Perhaps they have not considered investing gold before so once they hold their first gold coin, they will most likely be extremely interested in learning more. Therefore your gift provides the starting point to teach them to save and probably invest more.

Great idea, right? Well, there are few more months before the holidays, so as early as now it’s not bad to make a list and start thinking your gifts.

Happy weekend everyone… leaving you this beautiful quote.

A few years back my husband was fond of collecting different bill and coins from different countries. No he’s not traveling a lot but if we have friends and relatives went to other country he would ask to bring home even a single cent from that place or the small bill. And as of now, he has an album kept for these collections. This thought came to me when I found the site of various gold coins and other precious metals. Not only an eye candy for coin collectors but to gold investors as well. Now I realize that these coins can really be a nice keep. An nice investment should I say. So I guess the husband’s little coin collection is a nice start. And if you want to dwell into this hobby, make sure to contact a coin expert to help you learn more about it.

Taken few weeks ago at Powerbooks….

As soon as he saw the childrens’ books, he took one then settled on the carpet removing his crocs, haha… Good thing we’re the only one on that area so he was able to browse and check more books. And of course, we didn’t go home without buying at least one… Well, I guess it’s better than buying another toy, hehe…

We passed by this place going home from a christening celebration at Cavite. My sister told me that it was a nice place for wedding, birthdays or any occasion so I said why don’t we drop by….

The first thing that comes to my mind when I saw this is the Taj Mahal or something like an emperor place, hehe….

To check the entire place we inquired and ask for their rates and as expected very pricey, hehe. And they allowed us to go around the area and check the different function rooms…. And it’s indeed a beautiful place with Victorian touches. The styles are very unique. Perfect for garden wedding.

Here some photos:

The church..

There was a scheduled event during the time we went there and we’re able to take shot of their arrangement…

You may visit and check this place at:
Portifino South, Daan Reyna
Las Pinas, Metro Manila

Every person has its own views when it comes to investment. We may find people who are determined to make investment and there are also who doesn’t mind at all. As for me it is important that we learn the aspects of investing, as this is a form of savings. This is one option where we can protect our family in the future. We may find lots of investment type but one that I always read that stand for a long time is tobuy gold bullion. Other currencies may fall but the value of gold stands still. So if you have the plan for investment, consider precious metal, as this is one of the many ways to protect your wealth.

He definitely loves racing car…. If you’re reading my blog, I always talked about his passion on car toys like the hotwheels car, which he has a lot now. From iPhone to pc to arcade, he would always ask for the car racing game….. and as early as now, he tells me he wanted to have a car when he grows up, hahaha… calling daddy… you hear it right? Hehe…

It’s been a month since I was planning to buy a study table for my son. However,
I cannot decide for the style and if ever I found one at the mall it doesn’t look good. So now I’m thinking for a made-to-order study table. After browsing the Internet for a long time, I think I will settle for a design like this:

I find it perfect for my son. I just hope I can find cheaper place for custom-made furnitures..
