Easily Got Tired from Walking

When I look in the mirror this morning I was convinced that I really need to think about proper meal and exercise. That’s the first thing that comes to my mind to lose weight fast because I really need it. I’m not surprised why for the past few days I easily got tired when I walk two kilometers.

I’m very strong when it comes to walking and running even if I gained weight but just a week ago I felt tired after walking some kilometers. I’m not that conscious to get as slim as when I’m still younger but when it’s a question of being healthy I want to lose excessive pounds. I don’t want to acquire sickness due to my weight so I’ll be starting now before it’s too late.

:Ruby Tuesday - Arcade Car

This is one of the cars in Quantum Arcade in SM North Edsa where Josh and my girls had fun when we played there while waiting for their Dad. Forgive the slightly dark shot of his face here as the light is dark on his position. Just thought that the car is so cute just like Mr. Bean's car but different in color.

I’m Happy for My Friend

I’m very happy for my friend Janet because she finally found a job she loves aside from her teaching profession. She was currently reviewing for her board examination every weekend and preparing for next school year’s classes. She was hired two months ago by a preparatory school near to my house and was scheduled to start this coming June. We’ve been talking about her new school when she was called for an interview for an office employment. She was so excited and immediately picked an original copy from her neatly filed resumes and went to her appointment.

She earlier showed me her application letter and after the interview she sent me a text message informing me that she got the job. Her father was near to tears and told her that it’s a blessing from God for all the trials and problems that she has gone through all these months. I also thanked God in my prayers for His guidance and support to my friend when she needed Him most. Janet and I are close friends and like sisters and if she’s happy with her life now I’m equally happy for her. Besides she really deserved it because she’s a wonderful person.

Wishing for Rain This Summer

The nature hasn’t been good these past few days with successive earthquakes, tsunami warnings and many other natural disasters. Who would have thought that earthquakes can be that bad on Haiti and Chile. I thought that earthquake way back 90’s in Baguio City was the mightiest I’ll ever see. Those other earthquakes happened before I was born so the only living memory I had was that of the 90’s earthquake.

Well even without those extreme disasters we’re already down with big floods last year, El Niño at the present and Meralco rate increase this month. Imagine after the killer floods we’re now facing low water level in the same dams that let out too much water in Metro Manila and nearby towns. My neighbor told me to buy stainless steel drums so we can stack enough water if there will be water supply interruption also. My neighbor dreads power and water interruption so he’s preparing for all the things that might come up with this near drought situation in many farmlands in the provinces. I was amazed with the one who invented artificial rain which helps nourish the dry farmlands temporarily. I heard over the news that million-worth of crops were affected by El Niño and if this continues we’ll have shortage of rice all over the country. I just hope and pray that there will be rain this summer.

CCS Golden Jubilee-50th Alumni Homecoming

This is a late post as we've attended our 50th alumni homecoming last Feb. 26. We were like high school again and our batch was the noisiest (just like in our HS days). Imagine we're done with our dinner even before the others has started their own lol! The host batch' speaker describe our batch as having a birthday party as we're the only batch with balloons and cake. We're just happy to see each other again and we've agreed to bring different foods. We have enough foods for three batches and we're able to give some to others.

What caught my interest was the video of successive school years since '60s featuring each generation's uniforms, batch of teachers and some class pictures. Our school has changed a lot from the time it started up to now that it has become not just an elem-high school but a college as well. I missed my teachers who were not there and Ms. Rosas who passed away already last year.

Job Opportunities

It’s the graduation month and I have two graduating students here in our house but they’re only graduating from preparatory and another one in elementary. Still I’m so busy with looking and searching for appropriate schools for them. I’m done with my eldest and she has already passed the entrance exam and for my little boy I’m just waiting for some requirements needed for the entrance exam. Well for those who graduated from college it’s one of the most fulfilling moments in their lives as they’re slowly reaching out for their dreams.

Every graduate has dreamed of landing a good job that will give them an opportunity to earn money and help their families. Some wanted to look for a job here but others who have higher ambitions want to try their luck on international employment like jobs in Philadelphia where they can reach their dreams of having a good-paying job. Some get lucky when they heed the call for getting a job somewhere far and across the globe. But others find themselves risking their lives by working on dangerous countries where there’s war. It’s good to dream and aim high but with limitations on the safety of your job location. Remember that John’s luck may not be lucky for Peter. It means that we have different talents, skills and wisdom and we should be able to accept the blessings that came our way. We should be happy for those who succeeded in their career and thank God for the smallest of blessings that we receive everyday.

Comfort and Ease of Using Ceiling Fans

It’s very hot and humid today so I chose to stay inside the house. I intend to go to SSS to update my employment status from employed to self-employed. But I finished my work at 5am early this morning and when I woke up at 7:30 pm I feel really lazy to go out. My kids wouldn’t let the fan be turned off and every area in the house should at least have its own fan. I surmised that it would be more comfortable to have ceiling fans in the living and dining room for more ease and comfort. It will not occupy extra space and it won’t be blocking any space. I should get quotations from DH’s company store so I can figure out the size, style and features. I reckon it would be a longer summer season that we’ll be expecting since it started this March and will probably end before the month of June.
