And...here we go!

1. Holy Week is my favorite summertime, this is the holiday that we get together to enjoy our annual summer camp fellowship. Holy week is also the longest holiday!

2. My favorite John Hughes movies is Some Kind of Wonderful. I've watched this movie a couple of times when I was in college and years thereafter. It's really some kind of wonderful.

3. Newborn baby is something I love to touch. The feel of baby's cheek, chin, hands and feet are unbelievably soft.

4. The full moon is what the elders are looking at to declare the best time for marrying. We got married on a full moon but it's just a coincidence because we have our wedding date set long before we were told by our grannies and parents that we should set it on a full moon.

5. I'm feeling tired and sleepy right now after a busy day of being with Gen in her Math Competition.

6. When daylight fades, I want to see and capture the beauty of sunset in my cam.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleep tight, tomorrow my plans include reviewing my kids for their periodical exams and Sunday, I want to drop by CDR king for a new speaker and lots of blank CDs to store my pictures after our Sunday fellowship service.

Orlando Vacations

It’s nice to spend a week long or even a month long vacation with your loved ones. Its best if you have your whole family with you as your enjoyment is complete. For Moms like me our joy is not complete when we’re on a beautiful place and your family is not with you. No amount of pictures or videos taken can define the happiness and excitement of having been in a wonderful place so better plan your vacation with your family and have your dream come true.

Some suggestions? I’ve heard about Orlando vacations being so popular now because of their Theme Park Vacations. It’s very ideal there to spend your family vacation as they cater to the needs of the young and old alike. They have Walt Disney World, Museums and plenty of activities to do you can watch sports, shop and visit their beautiful attractions. The whole family will surely love this ultimate family vacation.

We went shopping for my girls and Josh' shoes and when Josh saw the billboards featuring two of his favorite cartoon characters he asked me if he can stand there. He asked because there are salesladies nearby and he's wondering if it's ok to get near there. I told him it's ok and I asked him to pose near Gerry, he stretched his hands like Gerry and covered Tom lol! Now it's Josh and Gerry!

Loves to Eat on Rainy Days

On seasons like these and when you’re in the comfort of your homes it’s always nice to watch television and eat. I just don’t know why rainy days make us cuddle up and eat plenty of foods. As today is declared as National Holiday because of Ms. Cory Aquino’s death children tend to ask for more yummy foods. I’ve cooked their favorite viand for lunch which is a boiled pork hind soup with tamarind and now they’re asking for cakes. They really have a giant appetite but if you look at my kids they’re not fat. I just wonder where they put all the foods that they’re eating lol!

Sometimes I envy my children that even if they eat a lot they don’t get excess pounds unlike adults who turned almost everything they ate into fats. Actually it’s the law of metabolism, I remember my childhood days that even if I eat plenty of sweets and delicious foods my weight remains the same. My cousin who grew up with me was a complete opposite of me when it comes to body built as she’s fat since she’s a child and now that she’s married and already have two kids she grew very big that she really needs some diet pills like Fastin to help her shed unwanted pounds. I just told her that anything she planned to take she must first consult her doctor for safe advices. I told her she can also try what I’m doing now and that’s my fruits and vegetable diet but she wanted a fast diet!

I Love Walking Through Drizzle

It’s raining again and from the looks of it rain showers will be for the whole month. Anyway I like rain as long as it’s not storm or typhoon. I like it best when it’s just light rains, the one that you can walk without cover on your head. My Mom would be angry if she saw me doing that but I just love it. When I’m still working in my Libis office I always bring my jacket with me whenever the weather is a little bit cold or there’s a promise of rain in the morning.

I’m not so keen on bringing umbrella as that wouldn’t keep me warm from cold, I’m a chilly person lol! When it’s time to go home and there’s rain the guard would assist me with umbrella until I got vehicle and as long as I have my jacket rain wouldn’t keep me from moving. I also have this funny and light-hearted feeling when walking on drizzle. I love the feeling of soft light rain touching my face, make me feel young again and make me remember my childhood days playing in the rain. Yap I have plenty of memorable rainy days when I was young and those are very happy memories! How about you? Don’t you like rainy days?

Advantage of Satellite Radios

After I’ve finally left the office permanently I have so many things in mind to do the first day that I’m going to be home. I’ve planned everything and listed all that needs priority in arranging our house. The first day was a very busy day as I’ve done some general inventory of my things that I’ve brought from office, the documents that need to be sorted out and personal belongings that need to be stored carefully. Then there’s the car which I’ve already bought and paid to my boss. Actually it’s already deducted in my separation pay so there’s no worry about that.

Now that I legally own the car I want to check and see what’s to be done on it like deciding if I want to repaint it or replace the whole body of the car to save money. It’s a lot cheaper if I buy a whole body than repair the old one. I would be happy to see it done and I’m also thinking of buying satellite radios together with complete car kit to install in our car. It’s nice having it in our vehicle as it has advanced features to give us real enjoyment in listening our favorite news, talk shows, exciting sports and of course beautiful music while traveling. It’s so easy to install and has everything you need in a radio plus the convenience of having it when and where you want it.

Discipline is Important

It’s hard to maintain a good and healthy body when you have no control over your food intake. We always have temptations on many occasions and self-control is always tested. On such occasions many of us would probably say this is my last time to eat plenty and tomorrow I’ll start my diet but that’s a history. It’s always tomorrow because it’s easy to say it than doing it.

I’m saying this because I’ve experienced it especially when I’m in the office and there are birthdays, despedida and company parties. It’s hard to resist because it’s always happier to indulge on foods when you’re in a group. Eating together is always fun but most of the times you’re not in control of what you’re eating. After the occasion that’s the time that you’ll realize that you’ve crossed over the gate of your discipline. Then you’ll need something that will help you shed off excess pounds like ephedra. Many people should be aware that it’s also best to consult your doctor first before taking some diet pills and when taking it you should also maintain proper diet food plan, exercise and a lot of discipline on yourself.

President Corazon Aquino and Her Memories

Our dear Madame former President Cory Aquino died of cardio-respiratory arrest at 3:18am today at Makati Medical Center leaving with us great memories of Philippines’ historical events of gaining back democracy in our country.

Here’s an excerpt from his son's statement:

The statement read:

"Our mother peacefully passed away at 3:18 a.m., August 1, 2009, of cardio-respiratory arrest. “She would have wanted to thank each and every one of you for all the prayers and your continued love and support. It was her wish for all of us to pray for one another and for our country. “Hinihiling po ng aming pamilya ang kaunting panahon para makasama namin ang aming mahal na ina. “Later today, we will be announcing further details of her wake para sa lahat ng ating mga minamahal na kababayan na nais magbigay ng respeto sa aming ina. Maraming salamat po.” Source : Inquirer.net

It’s the first time that I’ll be featuring a political figure in my blog because if you have noticed I’m not blogging about political and showbiz personalities here. Madame Aquino is a different thing as she’s not an ordinary figure for me as she has contributed a lot in regaining back our country’s precious freedom from bondage. It’s very memorable for us who were then students of PUP because a lot of things changed when Pres. Prudente was appointed back by Pres. Aquino. Our campus was in tumult then because we were operated with the strictest regulations and the students who participated in mass actions were handled with grave hands. After the ousting of our campus President and replaced by the original President Prudente things has changed for the better and I graduated with a deep sense of gratitude that democracy has turned our school into a state university with better educational standards and learning structure.

This is just my own personal point of view and I don’t want any political thing about this.

The Yellow Tide

Aquino turned yellow into the color of her campaign. It was, personally, one of her favorite hues; but its political significance stemmed from the yellow ribbons tied around Manila's trees and posts (inspired by an American pop song) by the supporters of her husband to welcome him on what proved to be his tragic return home. Her rallies were seas of yellow. Source : Time Magazine
