Practical Gift Giving

Have you already done shopping for Christmas? Well, I haven’t he he he

Of course along with shopping for Christmas should include shopping for gifts to give away. But, do you still do this today? I mean, do you still give gifts that is wrap in a box with beautiful cover and ribbons? As I grew up, I think I can only remember one time receiving that kind of gift for Christmas. I was in primary school level and one of my Godmother gave me one small box that has a pen. Of course that time as a small kid, that kind of gift is awesome. I grew receiving money as gifts for Christmas. 

In other country, Gift Cards are often used as gifts. These cards are equivalent to an amount of money on a certain store. Mostly they carry discounts or promo as well. News says that some retail business are not accepting gift cards due to economic problems, which is not true. Many retailers are not closing and all are accepting gift cards. So Gift Cards are still very much useful. 

Actually, I really do believe Gift Cards are very good to business owners because this will help them keep their costumers to surely buy from them. Plus, giving gift cards as gifts to kids would be much safer. Like when I receive money before, I just buy what I think I like. The money could be just wasted on something not useful. This will assure that the person who will receive the card can really get some product.

May Trip

Finally, I just finished checking on the 650 posts that I missed for being on hiatus in a month. How was I able to count these? Well, I am currently subscribed with 85 blogs now. Sadly, most of these blogs are not really serious about blogging as well. I hope to give sometime to fix my online files, so that I could delete those which are not needed.

While I was gone from the internet life, I still am going with my daily job at the office. But I did ask for a week of absence or vacation, but that was for my trip to heaven. And you know what?, I still did some work there. Why did I say it’s heaven? Simply because that is where I find peace of mind. Not worrying about the problems this reality world has to bring to me. It is heaven on earth as they say there. And I did work on volunteering with some stuffs. And if in the next decade you are still my loyal readers, friends or just someone who would remember I have said these stuffs, you will understand why did I really felt this way from that great place o:-) And I just wanted to add up, I know a real Angel staying here on earth, who is a good drinker as well :))
Anyway, after that trip, am back to the office, with tons of penalties for my performance for the whole month of May. Well, money really ain’t worth to skip those things I did and planning to do. But I must do them with discipline. Or else I will fail. Still it sucks that I lost 30% of my supposed income for this month, plus 60% for those I have used in my trip to heaven, plus 20% for personal stuffs I needed to use, like new clothes, bags, transport, foods, etc. So much for a vacation that is tiring #:-S Good thing there are some savings, and I have to get credits and loans. Because I was not able to pay the monthly bills :))
