Cheap Shopping On High Streets in the UK

"BIG NAME" STORES (high street stores) across the UK have closed due to GLOBAL CRISIS we are facing right now! Frightening really, but this is one of the things that nobody could do anything about it, except WE HAVE TO FACE IT. Businesses owners, stock holders and investors may have lost their millions and will go through tough times, and how much more these individuals who have lost their jobs, whose living and family survival have had only to rely on the jobs they have just lost and those ones as well who are about to lose!

"Imagine, about 800 Woolworths stores which employ about 27,000 staff are due to shut by 5 January".

"Five Woolworths in Northern Ireland in Armagh, Ballymena, Enniskillen, Lurgan and Newry were among 200 shutting down and putting scores of workers out of work".

"Car accessories retailer Motor World - two of 95 being closed across the UK from Motor World’s chain of 237, involving the loss of 300 jobs".

These are just among big name stores that have closed in the UK, there were still masses of unmentioned small businesses! At the moment, I should say that UK is not an ideal place to live on. We all aware that this is a very expensive country! As a matter of fact, I chose to deprive myself every time we go on leave (a month off from work). When I used to spend vacations in Philippines, I have always bought new clothes, pairs of shoes, sandals, accessories, etc... Nonetheless, it is not happening anymore...

But, I have missed BIG DISCOUNTS, stuffs on BIG BIG SALE at the moment in UK. Imagine these Woolworth stores close to where we live plus other stores, this would have been my chance to enjoy shopping in UK especially this holiday season.

I would have wished to be in the real world, but could have been worse if to see people suffering. On the other hand, staying here where there's no shopping SAVES OUR BANKS AND POCKETS... :)

Life's Bumps And Bruises

"Indeed, LIFE is full of bumps and bruises. It's what you learn from it and what you do with it that makes you who you are." I myself have been through a lot of bumps and bruises as well (sad stories, frustrations and failures), in my 8 years of working here in the middle of nowhere (Angola), but life must go on. I have managed to live with it, learn from them and carried on until I found my so called "success" despite of frustrations!

I was reading this article in Glamour magazine a while ago, and it was about these five women who overcame deadly situations and got on with their lives. These women went through a double lung transplant, an open heart surgery and then gave birth to twins, a cancer survivor, a deadly bacterial infection, and one of the women, who was still a teenager like us, survived knife wounds that most people wouldn't survive.

This article got me thinking about how people go about their lives. Life is not a smooth ride. Some people, when they hit a bump, give up and turn around while others find ways to go over the bump or around the bump. I believe that everyone should do the latter and be like these five women and find ways to get around these bumps.

So when you reach a bump on the road called life, don't give up because you're not the only person to ever reach that particular bump and you're not the last. Be an example for your followers!!!
