Saving Options for Our Child’s Education

Getting our child the best education is a challenge that every parent is willing to take.

As a parent, we have big dreams for our children and we know that their future depends on the quality of education they receive today. This is why, in the midst of growing financial worries, we work doubly hard to prepare for their children’s future educational needs.

But with school expenses increasing every year, our savings may not be enough to cover college tuition fees and other expenses. Aside from regularly saving money, one can also prepare by getting profitable investments that offer better returns. Invest in companies which have made a mark and have a proven track record in the industry, like Insular Life.

Hot Spot

We are currently here in mom’s place. We usually go here on weekends only but this week is an exception. And when we go here, I always bring along our router and laptop with me. Last weekend, we were also here but I purposely did not bring our router so we can spend more time talking. You see, when I convert this place into a hot spot, all of us become busy with our online life (just like now) and we tend to forget physical interaction. I told everyone that and I was glad nobody disagreed, we were all guilty.

May this serve as a reminder to all of us. Online life is fun but when things all fail, our offline relationships remain with us.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Smoking is Dangerous

I knew that already but still decided to try smoking back in my college days. I think I was in second college when I started. I tried it because I want to get a first hand experience of what smokers feel when they lit a stick. Also, I guess I wanted to belong since many of my classmates then have this vice. Since I only have enough money for my daily expenses, I never bought my own cigarette, ever. I only smoke when somebody gives me a stick. I guess that is a factor why I was able to stop smoking for good. Plus I clearly know that it will not do me any good.

danger smokingHere are some facts why smoking is dangerous.

  • Smoking gives you bad breathe, gum disease and tooth decay. If you smoke, do not get surprised when people talk to you at a distance or cover their mouth when you open yours.
  • Smoking affects how oxygen is transported to the brain and can cause headache that can lead to stroke.
  • When smoke passes through a smokers chest, the chemicals in it attack the bronchi and can later on develop into severe coughing. When the bronchi are weaken, infection can easily build up. When infection build up, it can lead to lung cancer.
  • Smokers are also at the risk of getting high blood pressure and stroke. Nicotine, a substance found in cigarettes, rises the blood’s pressure and makes the blood clot easily. Carbon monoxide robs the blood of oxygen and leads to the development of cholesterol deposits on the artery walls.
  • Smoking also affects fertility. It also affects the development of an unborn child in a mother’s womb.

I could go on in enumerating bad effects of smoking but I know, these can already make you stop smoking now. Do not let smoking reduce your life span by ten-twelve years. Quit now while it is not yet too late.
