Do you know that American silver eagles are the official silver bullion coins of the United States? They have a face value of one dollar usual trades at a percentage above spot silver price and they were first released in 1986. If you would look at closely at those coins, you will see the feature of the Walking Liberty design which was believed to be originally used between 1916 and1947 on the obverse of the half-dollar coin.

And I'm Guilty....
I can't help to feel guilty since yesterday because I purchased another Coach handbag again. This is far more than addiction, what I have is insanity and my conscience is eating me! Why I can't stop myself from spending money when it comes to pretty purses? Why oh why? Is there any way to stop this? I always say this is the last one, but nope...I always seem to eat my words...
It's like this since I've become a member to this specific online factory, I keep spending what I earned. It's like I buy a purse once a month and for me it's crazy. Who in their right mind would do that? Nobody, you guess but I'm doing it.
My thinking is that, someday when I am no longer be able to make money from blogging, at least I was able to buy the purses I thought I can never have. I've always thought I can never have a Coach bag because they are insanely costly than Dooney and Bourke. D&Bs are kind of expensive too but they do offer some promotions to certain products that they want to get rid off. Unlike Coach, you can never see or hear them giving away their handbags up to like 50% off or more until I found this very site that got me into, really really hooked of this site now!
A new handbag is coming in the mail soon...it looks so pretty on the website, I shall see if I like it when it gets here or I may have to sell it on Craigslist just like the white one I purchased 2 months ago... the worst thing is that, I COULDN'T SELL IT lol.

My Best And Not So Good Cooking
Here are the kinds of food that I can live with everyday. I tell you what, nothing beats the Filipino dishes in my own personal opinion. Not even a steak can compare to the satisfaction it gives to Filipino's tummy. Ask any Filipino you meet out there and we will see if they say the same thing.
......... photo above is our lunch today. A big fat fried Pompano fish with tomatoes, soy sauce and vinegar...... below photo is my screwed up banana nut bread. I must have copied a bad recipe for it turned out pretty dry or it's because I overcooked it?
........ below photo is a dessert called "Taho"... it is a popular street food in the Philippines that is sold every morning... people of all ages love it!
.... and below is my vegetable stew with coconut milk. This is special for I also include young yellow corn as the new ingredient... it is best suited during cold winter days!
Your Coupon Sites Resource
I know a few people in my Facebook list who are doing extreme couponing. I can't help but be jealous because they save so much money on everyday items that we use in the house. I can't do it, I don't know how and where to get coupons. I asked them where did they get their coupons, each of them have different answers. One that struck me the most is a friend from our local neighboring city telling me to look at CodesStock.com for it has a list of coupon sites listed there and see what I can get or how much I can save next time I go shopping for stuff.
It's Been A Long Time
It feels like it's been ages since I hang out with Filipina circle of friends. I missed them, I missed the chitchats and most of all I missed being with people who make me laugh and talk things about our lives as mothers and being in this far away land.
One of my friends on Facebook asked if we can gather in our house but I declined instead suggested to just let the gathering in her house as usual. Right now, we are trying to decide when will be the perfect day and time for that small gathering. For sure, it won't be forever to decide when. With that being said, I would like to bring her a wine gift as an appreciation of her friendship. There will be plenty of Filipino foods serve on her table so a bottle of
wine or two is perfect for ladies like us that don't drink hard liquor.

I Love Handbags
These are my handbags I bought through my paid blogging money all these years. They are not so grand brand names but they are good enough to feed my addiction. They are like my meth, my marijuana, my ecstasy! If you ever give me a gift, think of nothing else but a handbag, I don't mind the brand as long as it is whole-heartedly given by you, it will be much appreciated and gladly accept it.
I take pride of my handbags because I earned my own money to buy them. It's like a small reward for myself for working my brain off. I buy myself handbags because I DESERVE IT!
