All work and no play, Makes Jack a dull boy. All play and no work, Makes Jack a mere toy.

 

This is one of the few nursery rhymes that I remembered being hammered into my brain by my kindergarten teacher. And for us “grown ups” who are so engrossed in working to earn a living, we need to find time to “play”. We need to relax once in a while, take a hiatus and go out for a vacation.

 

Contrary to popular notion, vacation is not just for the rich and famous who spend much for their leisure. Everyone is entitled to enjoyment once in a while and a great vacation need not be expensive. You just need to be resourceful so you can maximize the limited funds you have set aside for vacation.

 

As such, plan your trip and choose hotels like the heathrow airport hotels. These heathrow hotels are very affordable and offer shuttle services to the airport and airport parking as part of their packages. One of the great perks there is that you can have free parking for 8 to 15 days. Also, there are heathrow hotels that promote “parking for less”.

 

With the savings you”ll get for availing of cheap hotels, you can definitely have a longer, more relaxing, and happier holiday. Enjoy your vacation!



I Thrive On Diversion

I’m the type of person who cannot handle being idle for a long time. I thrive on diversion - planned or not.

 

In my 24 years of existence, I have tried a lot of sports and enrolled in some of them. From Kung-fu, Aikido and Kendo, to swimming, basketball, table tennis, track and field, soft ball, and soccer. I”m also into music. I enrolled in two renowned guitar schools, and was taught how to play the drums and piano by my cousins and friends. In fact, I am a member of an all-girl band and my band mates are my sisters. We”re currently inactive as of the moment though.

 

Aside from those, I seize all opportunity to hop into a new resto, bar, town, or any other nook and cranny that I deem interesting.

 

Through this blog, I hope I”ll be able to share with you some of my experiences as I jump from one activity into another, in search for THE most appropriate and captivating RnR for me.

Brisbane delivers on all fronts – from sophisticated and progressive, to dynamic and diverse. However, to be able to fully experience the best of both worlds in Brisbane – the sunny islands in the east and the breezy rainforests in the west, with an in between attractions of a lively city – I suggest you plan your trip well with a Brisbane travel guide. That way, you’re sure not to pass up any happenings like major sporting events, and miss notable destinations during your trip.

 

A note for those into gaming facilities: If you have cash and are looking for gaming opportunities, be sure to drop by Conrad Treasury Brisbane. This boutique casino hosts more than 1300 gaming machines and over 80 gaming tables.

 

Anyhow, with or without a travel guide, with Brisbane offering great food, wine, arts, entertainment and major sporting events, and a multitude of parks and esplanades, I’m sure you’ll find yourself much entertained.

When money is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; but when integrity is lost, everything is lost.

 

When you lose your money, you can easily recover or replace it. Maybe even more than what you’ve lost. As such, you’ve lost nothing.

 

When you lose your health… that is a different story. You have to spend much to get well. The sad part of this, is if you had been diagnosed with something incurable such as AIDS. In this case, you not only lose your health, you also lose your money and integrity for being afflicted by this dreaded disease of the century.

 

Today, you don’t need to worry about your health if you are covered by insurance, specifically by affordable health insurance. I suggest you visit websites like 2insure4less.com, a free consumer referral service that strictly observes “Privacy Policy”. All you need to do is to fill out one, quick and easy questionnaire. This info, with your identity not revealed, will be transmitted to hundreds of insurance companies, and the three (3) companies with the most competitive results will be chosen. Your identity and contact info will be referred to up to three agents in your state who represent companies with the best preliminary estimates. These three companies are authorized to quote and sell insurance.

 

Knowing that the 2insure4less.com had helped you to have at least three options, the decision is now in your hands. Decide to get an affordable health insurance while you are still young, healthy, and wise.
