Domestic business

Since I started living separately from my parents, I've been enjoying certain things. Namely, I like that I'm cooking on my own, things I like and the way I like it. However, Cooking is inseparable from washing the dishes which I hate with all my heart. I find a special delight in preparing a nice breakfast of pancakes and jam, or eggs with vegetable slices… I also love baking. But! After all is done steaming , you cannot enjoy the meal, as you have to wash the heap of dishes. Well, my boyfriend usually refuses doing the dishes, which leaves me no choice. I wash them; I invent different treats for myself to make washing more pleasant. Foolish, you may say? That's it! But my kitchen is always clean thanks to those tricks.

Closing a number of debt lines

It is high time to tell you about my latest achievement. I managed (somehow I don't quite realize how)to close my debts on a loan and credit cards. Of course, I got the money not out of air! We sold the second car (it wasn't old, happily) and now I enjoy breathing free!
Not long ago I read that after paying out your every debt, the credit score changes to the positive. So I decided to check it out. Since I'm short of money, I chose to get free credit score. Just to make sure it is worth using.
A friend of mine tried her best to convince me that all those free online services are scams and they are more dangerous than useless. But I'm a risky kind of girl! So I used the site called free-credit-reports.com and got my report just the next day. After this I'm going to pull a paid credit report and compare if the free one and the paid one are just the same.

Scaaaary?

The really scary thing is going to be on the forthcoming night, as it will be Halloween night! Are you going to dress up for the night and go paartying?
My friends and me are planning to do some clubbing, most of us in costumes. We decided to be different dishes - fried eggs, pork chop with green peas,chips, etc. In our favorite club there will be free entrance for those in costumes this night.
Yahoooooo!!!!

Can't get enough of politik humor

This picture is so heart-touching that I couldn't but introduce it here. So nice, isn't it?

So many authors are inspired by the future elections, and I see that the closer our voting is, the more creative people get)))

Another piece of pre-election art

I was charmed by this picture and I couldn't but post it here! it is really creative and this soviet style expresses how much the author hates these people - Palin, McCain and Bush. Not only the graphics is so much like the soviet style, but also the expression on their faces. They hint at Stalin haha!!!
I want to underline that I'm not promoting any political views. I just liked the idea of representation.

Under pressure

It is not about Freddie Mercury's song, it is about that my finances are terribly low. I hear a lot of information about the banks going bankrupt, but my bank seems to be flourishing. My variable rate has gone up, so now I'm seriously thinking about moving my balances onto a new card.
I'm searching for balance transfer and have looked through a lot of websites including this http://creditbreak.com/Low-APR-Balance-Transfer.php. However, none of the deals seems to be really beneficial or money saving. At least, I'm going to get a fixed rate plastic.

Funny sarcastic

I came across two very funny collages depicting McCain and Sarah Palin like pigs or something. the cutiest one is with McCain, so I uploaded it here.
Actually, I'm not into politics and I'm not in the habit of sharing my veiws on these matters, but these pictures show how inventive people can be when fighting for people's opinions. These pictures appeared after Obama's speech about pig with lipstick on and fish in a new wrap, I guess.

Another film which is more of a 'must see'

Though it is the year of 2008 currently, I haven't seen some if the old good films so far. One of them is Virgin Suicides (1999) starring Josh Hartnett, Kathleen Turner, Kirsten Dunst and even Hayden Christensen taking a cameo role.
Actually, this film was especially touching for me because it reminded me of my own life, when my parents did their best to restrict me from everything outside the home. I was really obsessed with the idea of suicude...

A great film to be a "must see"

I'm fond of video rentals shops. I really do! Sometimes you can find absolutely unique films there! Back in a few days, I found a very good film which is worth to be seen by many. It is The Pathfinder with my favorite Karl Urban starring. I wouldn's say it is a film without violence - it has a lot of it. You judge for yourself when you see it.
I liked the message fo this movie: it will never do to ruin the nature and the life of those who leave in harmony with nature. Agression never wins! This idea is especially important for the current US governement which is still supporting war in Iraq and is spreading armament all around the world.
The film is great in everything - hotty Karl as Ghost, charming girl as Starfire, amazing landscapes and costumes.

Financial matters

All the regular readers of my blog (if there are any)know very well that I'm very concerned about money and credit matters. First of all, I decided to learn wise credit management and the secrets of saving money. So, I read a number of financial blogs and web-sites to widen my horizon in this topic.
I should say that among many web-sites that I'm used to visiting is www.credit room. t is interesting that this site is for women and they say they help women to know more about credit cards and finance. Actually,I like the design and it makes me visit this site quite often.

New phone!!!

I bought a new phone at last! Actually is not quite a phone, it is a pocket PC. the moment I saw it I understood it is my thing. Though I've never liked Samsung mobile phones, this Samsung i710 is cute and smart! Enjoy the picture

Autumn is coming so soon and just got an idea of buying rubber boots. That's really a mad idea, everyone says, but I want them badly. LOok at the picture of the boots and tell me: aren't they cute?

My mom has always been fond of gigantic things - she bakes huge pies, she lives in a temple-sized apartment... And when she came to buying a new TV, of course, she bought a huge plasma!
Now we are happy to have a real home theater and yeasterday night I watched Hellboy just like in on the movie screen! I changed my point of view on large plasmas and now I'm sure it is worth buying if you are a real movie fan or just a lover of visual effects. So, if you have money or a good credit card - go and buy one!

After vacation, finances are harder to manage...

I'm back from my vacation and I'm full of energy for work and writing here! Sea is really fabulous and I still feel like hearing the roaring of the sea.
As I returned home, I learnt that my cousin has got the new job of financial advisor. I was really shocked as I have always known her as a big spender! Haha a financial advisor who never saves her money!!! She is told to advise on getting credit cards and rebuilding credit after going through Chapter 7 or 13 of Bankruptcy Law might be quite an easy job, if you know what type of a credit card is best for your situation and is more likely to be approved. That's awsome, indeed...
I'm pretty sure I will never turn to her assistance - I'd better get used to read Dave Ramsey's blog!

Hi

I'm not a frequent writer here, but I try to write something when I have some time. I would like to continue the series of posts about my favorite websites.I hope you won't be absolutely shocked by me if I say I check out the new posts at PerezHilton.com daily! That's a really absorbing site to which I got addicted. It is not an ad, in fact! This site, as well as Jezebel.com, for example, just lets me relax and have a lot of fun! Those stars are so ugly and tasteless, quite unlike we are!!!

Thinking about finances this summer

It is the middle of the summer and I guess I have to get ready for a holiday! Have you already taken one? Me not...
So, the point of my thoughts now is where I should get some money for the forthcoming two weeks at the sea. No ideas yet, besides taking a credit card. This was suggested by my mom and I still can't find anything better than following her advice. Saving money doesn't help, as I can't save much due to regular expenses on numerous necessities... So I don't know whether I should take additional job or simply apply for credit card to finance my vacation. The latter seems absurd, as well as the former, though. Why can't one simply go and have fun, without paying loads of money for it? I'm ready to pay for anything but seven days of rest, because I'll have to work twice harder just to afford it.

Pregnant Men - New Reality or Just a Freak???

Recent reports of Thomas Beatie to have given birth have caused a lot of discussion in press and in public. Some say, he is not actually a man - his sex organs make him a woman, for sure!
Others say, it is freaking ugly to see a man with a beard and a baby bump. They are undoubtedly right, as it looks really really weird.
To me, there is no actual difference, whether the husband or wife give birth to their child, as life is full of misfortunes and not every woman possesses healthy reproductive organs. (you probably remember, Tom's wife has no ability to give birth).
Frankly speaking, I would rather let my husbandgive birth to our children rather than do it myself :-))))
What about you?

Street fashion online

I'm fond of street fashion =- it is really fabulous! I admire the people wearing clothes to express their idividuality: this is ART indeed. I sometimes spend an hour or at web-sites devoted to street fashion of different cities of the world. This site - www.facehunter.blogspot.com is one of my favourite sites. Sometimes I wish I could dress like those creative people.

As far as I remember, I haven't mentioned in this blog that I'm fond of advertising and marketing tricks: I like to check out new interesting ads, I collect vintage ads and I'm interested to read about new advertising campaigns.
So, I recently came across a website offering credit cards for woman! It is called CreditRoom.com and at the first sight you see that they sell something for women, haha.
What seemed even more funny to me is the statement that their site was made by women and for women. I remembered O.b. ads and some ads of panties or a related stuff and find their approach amusing. But there is one but... What if o.b. will get angry and destroy that little cute site?

Life and Choice

It is no easy matter to make a decision when it comes to buy things. You have money, but the amount is limited while your needs and desired are absolutely unlimited. Today I understood how bothering decisions are: our family has a dilemma of buying additional equipment for the car or new TV and some furniture.
The saddest thing about this kind of purchases is that things get old and you start hating them in some months or years. We have furniture, but it is ugly… we have a place to store our clothes and books, but the ugly cupboard makes life rotten! That’s the way a modern man lives – al the time you should struggle the desire and determine the needs, resist the temptation. Seducing us, manufacturers build villas and marry hot models. But are the things we buy worth the labor we do to earn money for this?
