Taking Care of Our Loved Ones

When my hubby and I decided to buy life insurance many years ago, it took us several months before we finally found the right insurance policy for us. Being on a pretty tight budget at that time as hubby was only a graduate student, of course we were looking for the most coverage yet pay low premium insurance as our priority. Hubby insisted that we need to get life insurance policy despite our small budget as it is a necessity especially in our situation where I live so far away from my family and relatives. At least if something bad happen to him, (God forbid) he will guarantee that I have some financial security. Blessed your heart my dear.

Anyway, sorting through lots of different types of insurance policies available are not only confusing but also overwhelming. Wouldn’t it be nice if we can get somebody to help us to decide which insurance policy is right for us? :-) If you are considering or decided that it is time for you to buy insurance policy, you should try Advantage Term Life.

It would be great to get some extra cash especially around this time of the year. I would think everybody agree with me on this. What’s more if you can do this from your home in your convenience time and generate that extra income while doing thing you enjoy doing like blogging. Cool, huh! Yup, you definitely can do it through blogsvertise.


You may ask how does blogsvertise work? How do you monetized your blog through blogsvertise?.
It’s simple. To start you just need to get yourself register for free and then add your blogs for review and approval. Once your blogs get approve then tasks/assignments will be given out to you to write about in your blogs such as websites products and services.

After you have done the writing entry, you will need to summit the blog entry for review and approval. And once it get the approval you will get pay as low as $4 per entry till up to $25 per entry. Now lets do some math here, let say you can do two entry per day, if your entry worth $10 per entry so you earn $20 per day, at the end of the month you get extra $600 in your wallet. Not bad, huh! Well folks, why not give blogsvertise a try? Make some extra cash for your holiday shopping. I definitely will give it a shot. :-)

Black Friday

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Then there comes Black Friday, day-after Thanksgiving shopping day. They say it's the unofficial kick-off of the Christmas shopping season. Personally I never experience the fun of shopping on Black Friday. We only watched about it in the morning news on televisyen the next day and heard from some friend's experiences. Last year one of our friend told us that he and another friend of him camp out in front of Sears from early evening. He said it was pretty fun and he got what he wanted with a very good price.

I tried to convinced my hubby to join the crowds for many years now without any luck. Not that I want to do all the the camp out thingy, to be honest it's more scary than fun to me, but just to do some quick shopping when the crowds already thin up. But nay, he is willing to pay more and go shopping some other day when it less busy....gheesh!. But it is one big event and I would like to have the experience at least once in my lifetime...hihi... call me pathetic. It's really amazed me that people is willing to camp out in a cold night in front of a store just to do some shopping. And the line was so long. But I guess it worth all the hassles if we get what we want with a real bargain price and at the same time have some fun. :-)

This year Walmart the biggest retailer in the USA start their Black Friday on November 2nd, three weeks before Thanksgiving. :-) Other than that,I saw some bigger store already have their Black Friday's ads out. I surely will try my luck shopping on Black Friday this year but I will do it online instead. Okay, less than 3 weeks to go,so time for coupons hunting now.
