Relieved!

I was scheduled to go to Laguna to accompany a developer-buyer to look at our coco plantation there. It was from my mom’s parents and we want to keep it but my uncle can’t maintain the lot anymore so we decided to sell it to invest on some low land properties. I’ve received a rather late notice from my brother canceling our appointment which at first bothered me as it’s only one day to go before the scheduled tripping. My brother cancelled our appointment because there’s news that there’s a proposed road construction from Marikina to Infanta. This means that our lot will increase its value because the proposed road will definitely be on the side of mountainous lot.

My brother’s reason is justifiable but it embarrasses me to cancel scheduled appointment in a short notice. It was actually the second time that it’s cancelled. Anyway no one’s going to do it but me and I prayed that they’re not going to get mad at me, the agent was my friend’s mom and I’m really apprehensive with her reactions. I called her yesterday and was relieved when her tone of voice didn’t changed when I told her that my brother is having second thoughts and been very busy with his work that he has cancelled our trip in a short notice. I was glad of her peaceful reaction and was relieved that I don’t have to travel to our province today because I’ve many things to finish this day.

My Thumb Drive Is Back!

I was fumbling for my pen yesterday morning to start my work when I saw my thumb drive nestled at the center of my bag. I posted here last week about my nano thumb drive which was mysteriously lost while it was connected to my office PC. I just took a 5-minute break from what I was doing to drink iced tea and when I came back and tried to save my file but the drive wasn't available anymore because my nano flash drive wasn't there anymore. It was weird to me because I'm 101% sure that it's there before I left my place to go to the pantry.

I felt a sudden goosebump when I saw it never expecting it to return like that. Actually I was hoping since Monday that I'll see it at my USB port but it wasn't there. Anyway I was really happy that I have it now again because I really need it for my personal files and it has a sentimental value because it was a gift from Win. Thanks God!

Stop Your Worries!

Parents always worry about their kids; they make it their utmost duty to know their whereabouts when they go out of the house. Sometimes that attitude extends beyond boundaries and the children felt they have no freedom at all. What if they really need supervision and guidance? Would you think of tracking them down in a way that they will not know? It’s always safe to have someone to follow and watch every move or actions but it also awkward for our children to have someone like bodyguard. No need to hire one because I’ve seen some people turn to GPS Tracking in safeguarding their children. They will never have to know they’re wearing it because tracking is built into clothing or in common gears of our children.

I agree with this kind of protection and can be used in our children but when it comes to spying husbands that’s a different concern. What if you caught your husband really cheating you? Would you have enough courage to confront him, if that is the case and you really want to know if he’s honest or not GPS Tracking can be the solution you’re looking for? I’m just lucky that I don’t have to use any of that tracking devices for my husband as I completely trust him.

Generally this is a very good device as it will minimize and easily resolve kidnapping cases. With the use of GPS Tracking device location of the child can be easily trailed and rescue can be done the soonest possible time. This is nice as I can also use this whenever my kids are with me on supermarkets or in shopping malls. No more worries if I lose sight on them. If this device can help your family it can also help the society as it can be used also by the law enforcers to track down or spy on suspected criminals. It can also help our industries in asset tracking and fleet management. It has the best features with safety and security you can depend upon.

Renn's Visit

We were surprised by a former BT&T officemate's visit. Renn dropped by to see us and since he has his laptop with him he stayed for an hour. He's our website designer and junior programmer for more than 3 years and resigned because his freelance job is more financially rewarding than his former salary. But due to his young age he decided to go back to being employed by a company as he's getting a little bored working at home. He's not a mommy you know, only mothers can stay at home working and not be bored.

As he's earning a lot more than he used to be he let us order pizza pie in pizza hut delivery for our snack and we all love that, I really love pizzas and even though I'm on a diet I ate one slice.

Be Prepared... Spiritually!

There’s a slight earthquake here in our place but was so light that it’s not noticeable, just heard it from a neighbor. It’s a little higher in some of the places in the north like in Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija, we have a church mate there and we learned that it’s about intensity 4, not so sure of the number actually. My inbox was full of rumors about July 18 earthquake and so I’ve shared it with our Pastor. It was a nice sharing and I learned a lot from it.

Actually earthquake can happen anytime because we’re in the Pacific ‘Ring of Fire’ just like ther countries in the Pacific area. Instead of getting rattled and panic over these things we should pray that God will hold us in His mighty hands and protect us from all these things. Preparation shouldn’t be always on the physical side but most importantly on the spiritual side. Did we ask ourselves ‘what if this thing happened and I’m not prepared to face my creator? Yes we should be reuniting ourselves with Him, develop a personal relationship and start to build a life centered on Him. That’s the time that we can be assured that we’re prepared no matter what happens. Just always remember ‘God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble’

Our Last Visit To Ma'am!

We’ve been to the wake of my Mareng Enyang together with my sis Redge yesterday night. She and her elementary classmates agreed to meet at a certain place and we’re there for about an hour before we were completed. Together with Cecile, Anna, Lito and Mayen, me and my sister paid our last visit to Ma’am Guirnalda. I saw Bless first and then look for my goddaughter Mado who was staying inside their room because she felt tired due to many people present there. It’s the last evening and today we will all bid our last farewell to her.

Most of SJES teachers were there and I came to sit with the veteran teachers, they’re my teachers when I was in grade school. I’m glad that they’ll stay for another two years because my daughters will experience their good teaching abilities. I’ve also seen many students visited Ma’am Guirnalda, students handled by her over the years. Ma’am was a good and kind teacher the reason why many students who are now working in their own chosen career has paid her a visit to see her for the last time. When I came to see her face I was happy that she looked in total peace and serenity. I can’t believe that I’m seeing a 58-year old woman who suffered from a killer disease, what I saw was a younger-looking beautiful woman who peacefully faced the sickness given to her. I know that she’s looking at us now, happy and no pain at all.

Josh Went to Market

My kids had a makeup classes today for the days suspended during typhoon Frank. I don’t like it because Saturday is the only day that I can wake up at 7am, all days of the week I wake up at 4:30 to cook, prepare packed lunch for the kids and hubby and get myself ready for my 9-6 office work. It’s a little bit tiring but I’m ok, I just don’t agree with Saturday classes.

Since Gen and Ruth are in their school it’s just Josh and me who went to the market to buy our whole week food supplies. Josh is really funny as he wanted everything that he saw bringing danger to my budget lol! He saw boots and he said her teacher told them to wear boots during rainy days. Then when he saw shirts on the rack he started to choose one for himself. When we passed by a small grocery wholesale store he pointed to a bunch of Ice Pops and when he saw coloring books on the school supplies store he picked sponge bob. Oh boy he wanted everything hahaha!

I took him to the nearest supermarket and mini-mall to refresh and have some snack! Before we finally get out going home he asks for his favorite ice cream, sat on a bench and started licking the soft strawberry-flavored ice cream. When he has finished he told me to go home as his granny (my mom) is waiting for him. Funny boy!

Sorting My Kids’ Toys

I’ve started today my planned inventory of my children’s old and new toys. My two girls are getting older and by each year that pass they slowly changing their toy preferences. I’ve done a lot of sorting consulting them every now and then what toy should be kept and what should be packed in cardboard boxes for sending to some of their younger cousins in the province. I’ve also included some beautiful dresses which can be used for special occasions which my children opted not to wear anymore because they prefer more casual clothes. Kids really changes as they grow older, they’re starting to have their own style and preferred choices.
