On Buying a Car


I was asked by my mom to do some errands for her one day, she has asked me to deposit some money to the bank. As usual the bank was filled with so many people and the priority number I got would take a few more hours until it was called. So I decided to read some of the bank brochures to fight my boredom.

The brochure that really caught my interest was about a car loan. I know that I still don't have any job at the moment but I really believe that I should really learn more about car loans so that I could find the car loan that is right for me, cheap monthly payments with little interest.

I've learned that there are many types of auto loans. There are loans for new cars, loans for used cars, and a loan to refinance a current car loan. But there are still so many things for me to know. Good thing that I'm still young and I have enough time to prepare for my dream car. I better start learning more about car loans then.

My New Website!

Yipee! I have done it! One of my dreams have already been met. I have my own personal website at my very own domain! It's not finished yet but my new domain is at http://www.edgarvincentbautista.com!

Yeah I know that I said that I couldn't change the domain that I had registered in (www.mynursesnotes.com) but turns out that I can. The guys at Technographx were really nice and that they respond to my questions and requests ASAP since you can contact them directly through YM. And I also just found out that Technographx is a Filipino Webhosting Company based in the Philippines (where else would a Filipino company be based? Ireland? ^_^).

Anyway I've decided to get my own domain since one, it's my dream, and two, this blog demoted to a PR 0. So returning to a PR 0 is actually a good thing since it opened a new window to better opportunities. I had fun maintaining this blog and my other blog, My Nurses Notes, and I think it's already time to spread my wings and become a pro-blogger (char, Lol!).

I Want To Protect My Home

Just last night I heard a gang war going on outside my house. It was around 2 am when I heard teenagers screaming and throwing stones at each other. It was an awful experience and what made it worst was that some stones were falling on our roof too...

My God. Why on earth did my father buy a house & lot in this neighborhood? Because it's cheap? Well it has good reasons why it's cheap, it's located in a bad neighborhood. I'm constantly am awakened at night fearing that one of those gang members will break in and steal something. And where there are gangs, vandalism is something very common.

What I need right now is a homeowner's insurance. I want to feel safe all the time even when I'm out of the house. I want to be assured that even if I return to my house that has burned down to the ground or vandalized by some stupid gang.

Also if I want to move out from this bad neighborhood I would need a homeowner's insurance to be able to get a mortgage loan so that I could have that dream house for me and my family in a safe and peaceful neighborhood.

Bought My Own Domain!

Oh my God! I have done something that would definitely change my life forever! I have just bought my very own domain! It's http://www.mynursesnotes.com! Yup it's a dream come true. I have always dreamed of having my own personal website and there it is. I was thinking of using http://www.vincentbautista.com or http://www.edgarbautista.com but unfortunately those websites are already taken. I could have chosen my domain to be http://www.edgarvincentbautista.com but that would simply be too long and I've already signed up and paid for my domain http://www.mynursesnotes.com (darn it).

This means that I must continue and pursue what I have started and become a registered nurse. Hahaha! Funny how I allow my career to be controlled by my domain's name. But yeah, I am serious with becoming a nurse and I don't see myself as anything else.

Who would have thought that I would actually take this blogger thing to the next level? And if you guys are wondering, yes I used my earnings from my blogging to buy my own domain at TechnoGraphx.com. You'll be amazed at their very low rates and not to mention that you can pay them through your PayPal account. I got my domain for a very low price of $12 for 1 year!

I hope that my domain gets activated soon (they said within 24 hours) and I can't wait to set it up and design it. Well if ever it gets ready I'll be sure to inform you guys!
