A bowl of fresh vegetable salad for dinner.

I vowed to eat healthy to lose unwanted fats in my tummy by eating more vegetables and fruits and less of carbohydrates and sweets. I seldom cooked veggies coz it involves peeling and cutting/dicing which takes time to prepare but my family likes eating it fresh. I am happy that my 2 year old daughter likes to munch on cucumber or carrots and actually loves eating lettuce.

I usually make this vegetable salad that's easy to prepare which we all love to eat.

Ingredients:

lettuce (washed and torn into small pieces)

canned corn kernels

tomatoes (washed and sliced)

cucumber (washed and sliced)

olive oil

vinegar

sugar

water

I just mix everything together.  I don't have exact measurements for each ingredients.  :) And since I do this often, I already know how to make it with (almost) eyes closed. :)

Are you aware that having gold coins can help protect portfolios from inflation and devaluation for many years already?

I was told in Singapore since their land is limited; people are encouraged by their government to invest in gold.  Some invest in bullion gold while others invest in rare gold coins.  These are liquid assets which they can sell anytime and is readily accepted around the world.  With the internet, gold owners can even sell or trade their gold coins online easily.  But this should be done with professional assistance such as the experts from Monaco Rare Coin, who will help you, build a world class rare coin portfolio in a cost-effective way. 

If you’re looking for investment opportunities, try collecting rare gold coins.  It’s a highly profitable investment.

The days are getting colder and the shades of the trees are slowly changing.  This reminds me that summer will soon be over.  All the more reason to take advantage of the last remaining weeks of summer just like my in-laws and friends are doing.  They're on vacation right now! Not together but separately with their own partners. Good for them.  I don't know if there's still a chance for us to hie off to a beach resort before autumn comes.

Even before summer came, I was already choosing in mind which European city to travel to.  I have long wanted to visit Rome, and we also have an invitation to visit Barcelona by hubby’s brother.  I spent most of my mornings checking out different web sites, looking for the best value in flights and also hotel rates for our planned vacation.  It was a tiring task hopping from one site to another, hoping to find the best deal of all.  I was then thinking, “Wouldn’t it be nice if there’s just one site I could log in to and search for all our travel needs?”

Little did I know that this was actually possible with Travelgrove.  If you haven’t heard of it yet, then it’s a dream come true for every traveler.  Travelgrove is a search engine for travelers looking for the best deals in airfares, hotel rates, car rentals, and cruise and vacation packages.  They scour the entire web for good deals and presents to users the data for comparison.  The users then choose the best value for their money, which to me is just awesome!  Yes! They do the job for you! Think about the time and effort you can save in trip planning with such a great service as this.

So what to do?

Do a research.  Look up for some guide on how to choose a good webhosting (either for personal use or for business use); what features to look for, the prices, etc.  There’s a webhosting guide which you can browse and compare different hosting companies.  The current Best 10 Web Hosting Sites is listed in Webhosting Choice.  This website offers many informative articles in webhosting, domain, scams, bandwidth and a lot more.  If you’re new to webhosting check out their quick start guide.  It explains the things you need to create your own web site which includes a web host.

What a shame!  I was planning to bring our little girl to the grassy riverbanks but if it's raining, it won't be a nice time to go then.  Huhuhu.... I wonder what we'll do to make our child enjoy her weekend.  I don't like bringing her to the malls coz she likes to touch the displays once we go inside the stores.  Hohummm...

 Maybe I'll just let her dad play with her while I do my assignments.  She's already happy just spending time with any of us, where ever it is.

It’s a very unusual sight to see the streets empty on a Friday morning.  Even on holidays or vacation breaks, the streets are filled-up with cars.  So where did all the cars go on this day?

Well, that day there was a scheduled cleaning of the road which started at 7 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon.  Hubby had to wake up before 7 to park the car somewhere.  He was fortunate to find a vacant spot not far from our place.  Oh yes, residents park their cars on the streets here in Prague!  But you have to be sure you’re parking on a space where it’s allowed or else you car will be towed!

The advantage of having money is that when good opportunities come, you’re ready to welcome it with open arms.  There have been several investment proposals offered to me and my husband the past years and we’ve boldly invested our money on these. 

For beginners, a good venue for investment is in precious metals.  You might have heard from friends or in the news how people are putting their money in gold or silver.  In Singapore, it’s common for the people there to buy and own as much gold.  In fact a friend told me that their government is encouraging them to invest in precious metals because they lack the real properties to invest on.  Though gold is the famous precious metal, the demand for silver has now grown because of its unique properties and many usages.  This alone is a guarantee that investing in silver is a wise idea.

Monaco Rare Coin is a company that can help you in this matter.  They are rare coin experts which provide access to a wide range of grade coins investment. Being involved in various aspects of rare coin market, they know very well how to serve your investment needs.  They even assist in trading coins online by providing your very own Monaco personal representative so you will get your money’s worth. 

It's a joy to see flowers blooming even those that are in the meadows and to see trees coming back to life again.  Ahhh Spring!  You've finally come!   We've been taking advantage of the beautiful and warm days we're having; we're out almost everyday, not in the nearby playground or around the neighborhood but in other interesting places such as the zoo, botanical garden, parks...  If there's one person we made happy with our trips, that would be our daughter.  She enjoys running free on grassy fields.  

How about you?  How's your Spring so far?
