Two new little discus that I found at a good aqaurium store going for only $32 each. Finding Discus this cheap is almost unheard of. Even at Petco they're $75 &up, and those fish are often stunted and always diseased. These guys appear to be in decent shape. They are small, but that's just because they are young. If they were stunted their eyes would be too big in proportion to their body. Their colors are also decent. Their variety was not labled, but I believe the blue one is a turquoise discus crossed with a wild type, and the brown one is a ghost discus. They have no visible parasites. The big one is eating both flakes and blood worms ravanously; the little one is only eating bloodworms so far. I'll have to keep an eye on him or her. It's forehead is a bit narrow, which could indicate emaciation and possible internal parasites. But hopefully it just hasn't fully filled out yet because it is young.
I also got three beautiful gold opaline gouramis, who are skittish and hiding right now, although they were very friendly and curious in the store. They're absolutely stunning. Their black stripes go all the way across their body, and they are a dark gold color rather than the pale yellowish borderline albino ones I sometimes see.
Then finally, I found an Ameca splenden! There was only one left, and it's the first time I've seen one in a store near me. Now I have three more or less unrelated strains to cross. I told the owner of the store that if he gets more I will buy them all.
The sad news is that the plans to foster a dog are off. My father has unfortunately lost the use of the left side of his lung and has little function in the right. He started a new treatment a little after New Year's after the previous two failed. We were hoping that his breathing would get better, as it eventually did in the past when he started new treatments, but that has not been the case this time. I'm in the hospital with him right now as he just had a bronchoscopy.

A New Day - A New Life
I have always thought life as somthing that you need to fight over for. I have always believed that life can only be happy with all the materials things in life. That life is guage on how much you own and how others see you. This might be have been the case or still the case but happines is how you look in life. If the people around me see me as someone who has achieved a lot of things with all the wordly possession I have, then they are wrong.
Going the route to being a minimalist. I have learned that you only need to have the things that matters to you. It doesn’t mean that you can’t have good things and be a cheapsake at that. What it simply means is you can get any earthly possession that you wish for given that you answer the question “Does this add value to my life?”
Every item in our house are mostly here because we have seen it in our neighbor, a tv ad, or somewhere in social media. This hapens and the way for us to learn and live the minimalistic lifestyle and knowing when to stop and only having only the items that makes you happy in life.
Why do I need multiple computers when one will work? Do I always need to have a spare or I just wait it out until it breaks? In the last few years, it was always hard for me to buy something, the first thing that always comes into my mind is another expense. In some sense this is true with all the other expenses that we are incurring in the house, but does this make my life happier?
No, it made my life miserable. Miserable that I can only buy the cheapest china made item thinking that why would I need to get an expensive one if that same item will work? Well that is where the question comes in “How does this item add value to my life?”
Right now, I am pushing myself to leran how to write in part of my goal to be able to push more content on my website in the future. I am usng this keyboard with the brand that I have been using in the last few years. When it comes to the part that, does it work? well it does and so much more. But why do I have this longing to get something new? a new keyword for what?
With me watching youtube videos more frequently than ever, I am comparing myself to most people and checking out reviews. This is not bad if you’re going to ask my but it begs the question “Does this add value to your life?”
Noone can actually answer this simple question, neither you or I. The only way to answer this is by trying it out. I hope there is like a nearby store wherein I can test out this products before I buy it. Well in most cases, there’s none.
In the next few days, there would be another sale for this brand of keyboard, do I go and splurge? whenever there is doubt, don’t do it. In the last month or so, I have been buying electronics and does it make me happier? it a sense it does, but to what extent?
Am I enjoying this mini keyboard that I am using right now that I bought for a mere $20 or sho
uld I got another that would cost me $80. Always questioning myslef makes my life a bit of stressful. 
But if you’re going to think about it, once this is done, I know that I will move on with my life and look for another goal in the future. 
As part of my writing goals , I intent to go into multiple niches such us Insurance and Financial, Gardening, Pets and mostly about Travel. This might be much since I can’t even produce one unique content for my wesbite, but this will soon change. I have been doing this ind of work for my clients in the last few years and I am pretty sure that I should be able to do it on my own website as well. 
Enerygy Saving, I should actually focus on this one since I am using more that I should. I am thinking of disable the sponge filters in the aqauriums to save 20 watts per hour of energy. Would the Hang on Back filters be enough for that or should I just keept it going since it is already there, well time will tell. 
I have seen one of my Pinto Red Shrimp berried and should be getting more shrimps soon. Does this mean that my water parameters are ok? but why does some of them dies? is this part of of the shrimp life?
I plan to travel during weekends just for me to have a glimpse of the outside world. But due to the increasing cost of fuel, I might need to push that in the future and stay at the house and just enjoy what I have. I can still use the scooter to roam around the village and nearby areas which I think is not that bad.
I have been living in this area for the last 3 years I think and I would say that I am now a part of this community. I am now living as myself, living as a mature person.
In the life of a simple person, having your own house is one of the goals in life, well who wouldn’t want that? nobody wants to live the rest of their lives renting with the fear that you won’t have your home in the next day. This is and always have been the problem with renting. I would say that I am fortunate enough and given that I was able to get 2 more is more than enough. A part of investment, yes, and the goal eventually is to have this houses rented for future income.
I wish one day, I would be able to just get my tablet or laptop, go somewhere and just simply enjoy and type my heart away. One day... One day..
