Bought A New External Hard Drive

Hubby bought a new external hard drive last Saturday. After we drove a friend to Nuremberg Airport, we proceeded to an electronic shop in Neumarkt. The 1.5 Terabyte or 1,500 Gigabyte Fujitsu external storage HDD 3.5" cost 109.99 Euros. Compared to other brands, it is the cheapest that we found. I also want to buy a digital frame in that electronic shop but I totally forgot it. It is nice to see images in a digital frame because the photos are automatically sliding. If I don't forget it last Saturday, I should already had one today and enjoyed watching my travel images while browsing in front of my PC. It is time for a short break. More updates in my other blogs.

FX Update

I just want to be clear that I am talking of Tamaraw FX here but FX that also means FOREX or Foreign Exchange. I believed all accountants know this term especially if you are working in a bank and you are assigned in the FX department. It's been a month now since I did not take a look on currency exchange especially from Euro to Philippine Pesos. Last night, I visited xe.com and found below FX updates;

1 Euro = $1.28085
$1.00 = 0.78074 Euro
1 Euro = PHP 57.8872
$1.00 = PHP 45.1850

I guess these are only the most important one that I need. Thanks to xe.com for the updates.

Losing Weight

I thought I would lose weight during our Europe tour because we kept on walking and running everyday. It just made me sad to know that it seems I gained more pounds because we also kept on eating during our trips. Before my friend left Europe last weekend, I told her that I will not cook and eat too much anymore to lose my excess weight. Thanks also to HCG weight loss Austin for sharing a lot of information on how to get rid of extra fat on our body. I am trying not to eat a lot now especially during the night. Hubby told me that I can go to the gym if I want to help me get rid of my excess pounds. I guess it is still not too late for me to have that wish come true. I also believed that I need to change my eating habit and have a little discipline for myself. I can try and will always try.

Asbestos Can be Very Dangerous

I read a lot about this so-called asbestos mineral online. I also learned about it backed in my school days especially during high school. It is known commercially for its desirable physical properties. Don't you know that asbestos can be very dangerous to our health? Once you inhaled asbestos fibers, it can cause you a very serious illness called Mesothelioma. Those people who are always expose to this kind of mineral will have the probability of getting a malignant lung cancer and asbestosis. Pity for those people who are working directly in the commercial processing of asbestos. Consult the experts if ever you encounter health problems or illnesses from this mineral.

The BER Months are Almost Coming

Do you remember what day we are having right now? It is the last day of the month of August. It means that the BER months are coming soon. Tomorrow is also the first day of September. I can't imagine how time flies-by so fast. It also means that Christmas time is coming soon. I wish I could make recycled Christmas cards to send to my family and friends. If not, I need to browse online to see some shops who are selling this kind of Christmas cards. I also remember that on the middle of September will be the birthday of our oldest sister. I am thinking of sending her a birthday card. I guess it is a good idea. I am taking a short break to prepare for dinner. Enjoy the rest of your day! I also wish everyone a wonderful BER months.
