:Today's Flowers #30

My entry this week is again a white flower, I really like the simple beauty of white blooms be it chrysanthemum, hibiscus, roses, lily, daisy, jasmine or any white petal flower. We have many in our compound but the white dainty petals of small flowers can't be captured clearly sometimes. This one grows like a small tree far from the sizes of the usual white blooms nevertheless it's also beautiful. This one was captured in Indang, Cavite.

Vacation Ideas

Summer is here now and most people are planning to have some getaway vacation here and abroad. For those who want to escape the very hot atmosphere in this tropical country they plan to go somewhere colder. Some I knew mixed business trip with vacation like extending their stay after some international conferences, the idea is very logical as they save time and money doing this. A friend who had her schedule full of business meeting in Singapore decided to stay a few days more to visit her sister who's been staying there for about two years. It makes her trip fulfilling as she also had her vacation there.

For some of the people thinking of places to stay you can search online for nice vacation packages like Vegas vacations or in some romantic or historical place. For me I prefer a vacation by the beach, somewhere where I can see the sun shine in the morning, feel the tropical breeze of the air by the ocean and watch the beauty of the setting of the sun. It doesn’t matter if it’s here in the Philippines or abroad.

Warm Ambience

Lighting enhances your homes in the sense that you could make a choice if you want to have warm ambience in the house or a cooler atmosphere. It depends on your choice or preference. For me I want a house with a homey atmosphere with warm lightings on the living room and bright lightings on the kitchen as long as it doesn’t cost me much. I prefer led lighting on all parts of the house indoor and outdoor for economic purpose and long-life. It saves me a lot on my electric bills without having problems on what shape and size I want because they have all the variations I want.

Heidi & Lister's Wedding

It's my niece' wedding, another wedding after Crisna for which I posted last December. They're both my nieces to my male first cousins Kuya Audy and Kuya Eddie. I saw Heidi grew up from baby to toddler to little girl and to being the woman she is now. Despite some trials that happened in her family she bravely faced the challenges and succeeded. She graduated with two courses Computer Secretarial and Bachelor's Degree in Education.

My father's youngest sister Tya Elvie raised her up until she became a very good preschool teacher. She continued the teaching profession legacy in our clan and loved every single day of enriching the kids’ knowledge. I was happy that she has chosen to be a teacher, one of the most humble and dignified profession. My mom and my two aunties were retired teachers. I love teaching in fact I was the one who taught Heidi how to read the ABCD book when she was 6 years old but I don’t have the patience of teaching more than 10 students lol!

It was a civil wedding only and they will plan for a church wedding in the coming years. They picked me and my Kuya to be one of their sponsors and I was happy to accept it. She grew up with us and we love her. Lister on the other hand became Josh’ favorite as they always play cars when Lister visits us. Mayor Mon Ilagan officiated the ceremony and it was a very enlightening moment as he discussed the value of respect, trust and love in every relationship. He’s a very good speaker owing to his many years in the media I guess. We laughed with his antics and agreed with his advices.

We later had our late lunch reception in Max’s Restaurant in Sta. Lucia Grand Mall with just a few close relatives present in the occasion. Mom and Tya Elvie didn’t make it so they just brought food packages back home.

Social Security Coverage

For several years now that I’m employed I’ve enjoyed having my social security contributed not only by myself but with the help of my employers. In this way you’ll have more remittances deposited on your account unlike those with voluntary contributions. Actually I’ve reached the minimum contributions needed for an early retirement and I was very thankful that anytime I stopped working I can enjoy my contributed remittances.

It’s a great help for employees to be secured with social security insurance which covers pension when you reached maturity, maternity and sickness benefits, disability insurance, salary loans and many other benefits opened to contributing members. It’s good to have one because you’ll never know what will happen to you when you’re working, at least you’ll be covered enough. There are other companies that will assist you in your medical and healthcare needs; you can actually browse them online.

:WW - Relaxing Water Falls

Just seeing this picture somehow relaxes me quite differently. As always moving water affects my mood, makes me pensive sometimes and peacefully happy most of the times. The effect is greater when I'm on a beach seeing the ocean and its waves. But then this pool can relax me also with its man-made falls which makes it nicer. This is the pool of Marabella Resort in Antipolo where my niece celebrated her wedding reception.
