Scanners

Every time we went out to buy our essential items in the grocery my kids were always curious on the cost of our usual grocery items. On most of the supermarket that we frequent they would look for the barcode scanner standing at the center of the store where you can inquire at the price of the goods. If the price is missing on the items I want to buy they will go to the scanner to search the price. Sometimes they just want to see how the scanner would run its red light on the items and eventually show the price on the small screen. Kids are like that they always want to know and try everything.

Effects of Asbestos

I’ve been alarmed by what I’ve searched about asbestos. We know that asbestos has a lot of usability in manufacturing industries and construction in the past years and it has been widely used by many because of its ability to withstand heat. Now restriction has greatly limited its use due to the hazardous effect it has when people are exposed, actually in some countries it has been banned already.

Before it has been restricted and banned for usage there are lots of people who has already acquired diseases caused by asbestos such as lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis. It has dawned on me that some great discoveries of people like this miracle mineral are not always good on people.

Extra Luggage

My family is always traveling to different places away from the bustling city of the metropolis. We particularly love to go to far away provinces to spend some days for our camp meeting. Our camp meeting requires us to bring everything we need for 3 days including our clothes and food. The places that we stayed were usually an hour or two away from the nearest market so we need to remember all the essential things needed.

I’m a heavy traveler and I tend to have more than what we need but for me it’s also an advantage because if we extended our stay for another day I don’t have to fear for lack of something. Because my kids are fast growing up I suddenly have a need for extra luggage and I’m seeing some Samsonite luggage to buy and use for our next camp meeting in December. I always want to plan ahead so as early as this time I want to prepare everything for that much-awaited December camp meeting.

:WW - Birthday Clowns!

This is Josh with the birthday clowns. I've seen him staring at them when they're doing some magic and assisting the kids on the games. It's his second time to see clowns on birthday and he's still amazed at their costumes and the way they host the party. Before anyone had a pictorial with the clowns Josh has finished with his picture with them. I want him to be the first because the kids were getting super active at that time and I was not sure if we can have the clowns by ourselves :-) Btw it's not his birthday party!

Kettlebell

I’ve been hearing about many ways on how my friends lost their unwanted pounds. Some have followed diet regimen, others resorted to diet pills but most of them either strictly followed some exercise procedures or enrolled in workout activities. They told me gym workouts are a lot better than depriving yourself of the food you want. Indulging in workout exercises eventually disciplines your eating habit too so for them it’s the most effective way of maintaining your body weight. I’ve found some testimonies online on the advantages of having some gym exercises and saw some uses Kettlebell to eliminate fat and to have good muscles. It only takes minutes on a 3-day schedule and you’ll be on your desired weight and built. Awesome!

Childhood in the Province

I’ve always loved reminiscing my childhood in our hometown in Laguna. I could still remember the scent of the grass as my brother and I play different kind of jumping and tumbling games. The excitement and happiness of being able to climb and relax in the guava tree will never be forgotten by the years that gone by. All those years of staying in our province are the most precious ones and define most of my childhood days before we moved to my father’s town in Rizal.

The difference of living in rural and urban is that you’ll be surrounded with God’s wonderful creations when you’re in the province. You’ll see mountains, river, never ending fruit trees and animals too. You’ll experience riding on the back of the carabao or horse. Farmers are good riders, just don’t know if they’re using some equestrian apparel or equipment. For me my experience of horse riding is when my uncle put me and my brother on each side of the horse where he put a big basket for us to sit. I still smile when I remember those days.

Living near the city won’t allow such privileges but it has its own advantages as jobs are easier to find here. If you’re not into agricultural field you’ll have a hard time finding a niche there especially if your job is inclined into technology or business. I still prefer living in our place but I’m dreaming of establishing some small business in our hometown so I could be there even on weekends only. Wishes!

What Is A Mother?

'Mother', strength and dignity are her clothing and she smiles at the future. She opens her mouth in wisdom and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue - from the book of proverbs.

I've received many inspiring and touching messages from my friends, single and mothers alike and I'd like to share some of them with you:

A Mom is Gods love in action. She looks with her heart and feels with her eyes. A Mom is the bank where her children deposit all their worries and hurt. A Mom is the cement that keeps herfamily together and her love lasts a lifetime.

A mother has strengths that's amazing.
She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness and love.
She smiles when she feels like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying.
Cries when she is happy and laugh when she is afraid.
Her love is UNCONDITIONAL!
That's what Mothers are!
