Vital Things in Seeking Employment

My niece didn’t pursue college for lack of finances, her Mom died when she’s very young and her father can’t afford to send her to college. She has flair of fixing appliances and mobile phones and quite interested in enrolling in electronics vocational course or even a short course in repairing cellular phones. I’m happy that finally she found what she wants in her life and even if it’s only vocational I encourage her to pursue her plans as she can do it with perseverance and will power. I know in time she’ll have her dreams achieved just like others who dreamed and achieved their goals. Just follow what you want to be in life and try your best to meet your goal.

There are many chances of studying and many channels in which we can study on low finances like the training programs offered by may train institute. I’ve known private and government agencies those who provide training for electronics associate, dress making, computer secretarial, typing, and cooking and many others. I heard this green educator who offers courses for green economy like energy auditing, solar training, wind training, sustainability training and more. All these courses are good for green economy and will be of great help to those who want to have a career on those fields. Education and training are two vital things for seeking job in the future. With proper knowledge and skills gained from education and training a good job opportunity will await the graduates.

He’s Slimmer and Healthier

We chance upon a former office mate who used to be our companion in our overnight working for bid proposal. He was so big and needless to say he has excessive pounds but he’s not so keen on losing some of his extra pounds. Now when we saw him we couldn’t believe our eyes as he seems to be fit and very healthy. He’s still big but the fat he has in the past is slowly turning to muscles.

He told us he has decided to change his eating habits and turned to a healthy lifestyle because he has been sick in the past and the reason was too much cholesterol on his body. He has enrolled in a gym workout schedule to monitor his weight and he’s happy that he has become slimmer now. One of our friends asked him if he’s taking testosterone booster and he winked and smiled. Guess what? He played along with our friend’s question but he doesn’t know anything about the boosters. Now he's asking about it too because he's really serious in getting slimmer and becoming as fit as possible. He also wants some good hard muscles to complete his dream.

Heads or Tails : Light and Dark

The theme/prompt for THIS week, February 16, is:

HEADS - "Light" ~OR~ TAILS - "Dark"

Well I used both themes for Heads and Tails making my post here as a combination of light and dark. This was taken more than a year ago while I was attending a wedding reception at the top of the hill that's why I got a good view. This view was looking out at the metropolis particularly the Ortigas Center while I was in the hills of Antipolo City. You can see the sunset 'light' slowly hiding its majestic shine and slowly leaving and making the environment darker. I always have some fascination over sunset!

Pursuing Her Dream After All

My friend didn’t go to college due to lack of money to finance her studies and right after high school she worked in an electronics company to help her parents in raising up her siblings. She stayed with the company for many years but due to lack of college degree she find it hard to transfer to other companies that can give her better opportunities of earning bigger salary. She can’t pursue college on normal schooling because she needs to retain her job to support her dream of finishing a college course.

It would be hard for her to study in the night as she’s on a shifting schedule and her chosen course is not available on night studies. She really wants to study as she needs something to hold on in the future and to compete with other qualified applicants. I told her that she can have an online college degree just by studying in her own home. She’s very interested and told me that she’ll think it over the night and will let me know of her decision. It's an opportunity for her to achieve her goals and dreams without sacrificing her work. She can't afford to leave her present job as it's their bread and butter. I think she'll go for it as I saw she’s very happy about it.

Do You Have Healthy Relationship?

You Have Very Healthy Relationships

You are an amazing friend, partner, and family member.
You always take other people's feelings into account, and you're never selfish.

Your relationships are based on mutual respect.
You respect the people you love, and you only love people who respect you in return.

Just having some ponderings and tried this quiz to see if my relationship with my family is healthy enough. I'm quite satisfied with the results though I may say I'm not that really perfect. I might have flaws and mistakes along the way but I'm happy that at the end of the road I have a very happy life.

New Hair Cut

I had my little boy’s hair trimmed down to a very neat cut for his graduation portrait in school. He has his father’s hair so when his hair is long it curls a bit. Well it’s better for him to inherit hubby’s hair because if he’ll get it from my side I’m sure he’ll have problem with thinning hair at the front when he gets old just like my Dad and brother. My Dad had nice and thick hair when he was young but when he reached thirties his hair started to show thinning at the front. If only he found the best hair loss treatments on those days he would have saved his hair from thinning. Losing and thinning hair affects our personality and sometimes it gives us inferiority complex. Anyway my Dad took it lightly and accepted his situation with a good smile. And even if there are remedies available in those days this modern technology got better cure for it.

Always With Love

My kids were so excited with Valentine's day and they made some real cute cards for me. Well since Josh is just a little boy just some hearts here and there on the card is enough for me. As they say it's the thought that counts, he even planned to buy me some chocolates but he told me his money is in my bank lol! This lil boy always makes me laugh whatever whenever! Ruth made a very beautiful card with much creativity on the fold up images inside the card. She has a habit of filling up the cards inside and out never missing spaces to put some words and design and I love it! This occasion is not a formal occasion to us just as long as the family is bonded together and always with love we're Happy!

Sleep Properly

I had busy days this week that made me so tired at night. I have to do blogging between my offline activities just to cope up with my schedules. I never really imagined that being a full time Mom can almost rob you of your time for yourself. This week I tried to finish all pending tasks at night but I can’t force myself to stay awake because my eyes seem to have their own mind.

DH told me not to sleep very late because my blood pressure will be affected so I followed him; besides if I sleep properly acne won’t develop on my face. Then I won’t be looking for the right acne medicine for my type of skin. It's quite a task finding the right one because skin on the face is normally sensitive and you can't take a risk on it. I'm very careful with the things that I use on my face. I usually wash it with my white germicidal soap and put only loose powder on daily activities. I don't put makeup which is why my face is always clear of anything that would harm it. Now I hope I can allot more time to my sites next week as I have tons of tasks to finish.

My Waking Hours

Woke up every early today only to know that it’s only 3am and still hours before my regular waking hours. I woke up everyday on weekdays at 4:30am and on weekends at 6am but today Gen has review classes for RAT (Regional Achievement Test) and Ruth was scheduled for entrance test in TUMCS at 8am. I really regret having early school schedule on weekends because that’s only the days that I can wake a little later than usual.

Anyway I returned to my sleep, woke up at 5am and did every chores as fast as I can to be ready to accompany Ruth to her exam day. I really would like to sleep soundly and continuously from night to morning but I’m not used to taking sleeping pills which will give me a good night’s sleep. I can’t imagine my daughters are going to school without eating breakfast. They need a full meal breakfast to be at their smartest level when learning their lessons and be alert on whatever school activities they may have. Lack of food at the start of the day makes you lazy, weak and a little dizzy sometimes. Breakfast for me is the most important meal of the day.
