Car repairs

pinaymom — Mon, 07 May 2012 09:26:57 +0000

The first time we bought a car, we were so happy and excited even though it is just a second hand car. After a few years, the cost of repairs and maintenance has taken the joy out of us. Every time my husband would tell me we need money for the repair or to buy replacement parts my head really aches. Just like this morning he said he will buy afe high performance replacement air filter. He doesn’t know how much yet. I just hope it is not expensive.

Anyway, since a car is a necessity to us we really have to set aside a budget for its maintenance. Or save more money so we could replace it with a better one. That’s what we’ve been doing in the past. This time we want a bigger car as my kids have all grown bigger. ^_^

Preventive maintenance

This morning my husband asked for some money because he’s going to buy a set screw, engine oil, and other car maintenance supplies. He didn’t enumerate all of them but he said we’re going to spend quite big amount this time. Its aircon, engine and radiator maintenance are already overdue. Since our car is a necessity to us we really have to spend for its maintenance.

Anyway, it is really important to have a regular check up or maintenance especially if you purchased a new car. Preventive maintenance is a good practice if you want to extend the life of your car. Don’t worry, there are cheap and practical ways to do it. And one is to drive with care everyday.

Buying gold online

“Is it safe to buy gold online“? My cousin is planning to invest on gold someday and she wanted to know if it is safe to purchase gold through the internet. I told her that many people are already doing it. Because it is now easy to buy gold as there are lots of websites nowadays that sell gold online. But as we all know this technology has also given birth to thousands of scammers so buyers should be very vigilant when purchasing gold online.

Tired and burnout

I’m not feeling well right now. I have mild headache and i feel sleepy. I better sleep early tonight and drink lots of fruit juice.

Even on weekends we’re still busy with many activities and i rarely find time to take some rest. I really feel so tired and burn out.
