Gold Coins

It’s funny how kids appreciate coins more rather than bills. When I ask our little boy to choose between a ten peso coin and a 100 peso bill, he opted to have the coin. Hahaha!

However, come to think of it, coins can have more value that our usual paper bill. That is if you got rare coins made of gold. Most rare coin collectors and investor buy these and keep it for longer periods of time. It’s value appreciates over time and withstands inflation and market volatility. I’m thinking if we can also buy some as investment.

In the US, people buy these rare coins from Monaco Rare Coin. It is part of the Monex family of companies with proven track record of being a leader in the precious metals investments for nearly 40 years. They’ve got a very comprehensive and fine rare coins and helpful professionals to help every investor and collector’s needs. They also got a wide variety of programs and products that fit most any budget.

I just hope we have something like this in our country. I think Filipinos should also learn how to invest money in different kinds instruments.

Petra & Pilar – A Different Kind of Carinderia

I always see this resto and it looks enticing to go to. I have the impression that it is a pricey as the interiors look so nice. It was not until Chef Ed Quimson was featured in QTV 11’s Secret of the Masters that I discovered it was otherwise. It was his and Katrina Ponce Enrile’s concept of a “Sosy” Carinderia. He mentioned in the show that it showcases Filipino and Spanish fusion food at a very affordable price. It sounds to interesting so I listed it as one of our “to visit” restaurants.

I got the chance when my best friend and I celebrated our friendship anniversary. It was very near our office and our houses so I figured out that this is the best place to go and eat. When we got there, we discovered that they’re having a paella night. So we got a seafood paella (Paella Cristina @ 180).
