Here Comes the Rain Again

The rainy season is really here now and my friend thinks that he'll have to postpone his vacations plans because the intense heat of the summer is gone now. Just only two weeks ago many people has been thinking about vacationing abroad and getting good package like Branson vacation packages or some other traveling vacation promos but now they're having second thoughts. It's more comfortable to sleep now and you can sleep without air conditioners.

Last month even the cooling appliances seem so tired from functioning the whole day. If only they can file their complaints lol! Of course they can't as they're not humans. Anyway I'm positive that electric bills will be reduced also just like the heat that's been swallowed up by shower rains. I just hope that it will not rain so heavy because I don't want floods.

What's Your Life Mission?

You Are the Artist

You are unique and inspired. You aren't happy unless you are making art of some sort.
Almost anything can be a catalyst for your creativity. You find the whole world stimulating.

You have beautiful visions, and you're good at expressing them. You like people to see what you see.
You also have an inventor's spirit. You're always thinking up new ideas and concepts.

This is a nice discovery of myself but I always thought that I could come up with fresh ideas and concepts even when I'm still working in corporate office but it seemed that they're not for them. I'm glad that I can now put my best ideas and thoughts on my sites where it's needed.

Maybe working until 40 is just the right age for me as doing the same things for many years deprive the mind of learning more. It was like a routine job and even if I was given a completely different field of job I also get tired of it after 6 years. The excitement was gone after few years and it's only the earnings that kept me going. I wasn't happy anymore....but I am now :-)

Comments on Online Advertising

I’m surprised that only a small percentage of businesses have really advertised online. Well if this is really the figures it’s imperative that they will search, plan and study on the kind of online advertising they would choose. It should bring them the traffic they need and the right advertisement that would promote their company’s products and services

Shopping for Tools and Gadgets

Women love shopping and most shop for clothes, bags and shoes. It’s alright if you have extra money but if you shop with your credit card be sure to prioritize essentials before luxuries. Of course I’m one of those women who love shopping but I go for the best buys in town when I buy my clothes and accessories. I’m not particular with signatures or brands as long as it has quality and style.

I’m also fond of buying gadgets, tools and home basics. I really can’t stop myself stopping for DIY and computer shops because I like collecting the tiniest of tools. Now I’m collecting small screwdrivers, voltage tester, long nose and some other small electronics tools. I’m collecting it so we can carry it anywhere without bulking our bag. It’s also a great help on camping and other outdoor activities.

:Today's Flowers/Ruby Tuesday : Red Santan

Click the images to enlarge

I'm happy that I'm back here in my favorite and one of the first meme I joined when I was in my first year of blogging. I love flowers and every where I go no flower escapes my lens lol! My eye always hunts their beauty no matter how simple and small they are like this red santan blooms which looks like pink in macro shots maybe due to sunshine. Santan (Ixora Coccinea) is an all season flower here in our country.

Studies revealed many healing properties of this flower like: wound healing, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitumor, anti-inflammatory,anti-ulcer, protection against electroconvulsions and many other uses.

Happy Monday! To see more entries for today's flowers and ruby tuesday click the badges!

TBS - Skyhigh

This is a good and inviting review with an exciting introduction about having an adventure. It feels like I’m also going on an adventure riding in Sedona hot air balloon. It must be so exciting to have an adventure vacation riding those balloons. It’s something that you want to do once or twice in your life to escape the sometimes boring routine of everyday life.

Missing My Old-Time Office Friends

Saw my friend in Friendster which I open only now whenever there are message and birthday alert. With an account also in FB I find it hard to be updated in both. If I open one of them during my work you can be sure that I’ll end up doing nothing but browse and browse. I need to have discipline so I don’t open my accounts for long period of time except when necessary. And just an hour ago I have a birthday alert and saw my office friend’s picture during her Orlando vacation. I sent her a greeting and commented on her picture.

Kelyn was so fond of traveling and having pictures too and upon seeing her I remembered our old times with other office friends who are all either working or living in other countries now. When she happened to see me online couple of months ago she was happy that I’m working online at home. She’s thrilled at the idea of earning bucks through online jobs. I just wished that she’ll be here when our other friends planned their vacation in December.

:Friday Fill-Ins #179

And...here we go!

1. Tagaytay City and nearby place around it is my favorite place to travel to because it's cold, peaceful and full of scenic sky views.
2. When I think about my childhood, I often remember those times in our hometown in Laguna playing in the trees, in the field and river. Time seems so slow then unlike now that time is so fast, less time for reverie :-)
3. A person who listens patiently makes for a good friend.
4. The wind in the trees, the rain on my skin, the breeze on my hair
5. The thought of another swimming in the villa resort is so exciting!
6. My best friend knows me inside and out.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to resting early because I'm not feeling good, tomorrow my plans include having a relaxing massage therapy and Sunday, I want to be well for our Sunday worship!

Discipline on Computer Gaming

DH vacation helped me in putting more discipline to the kids regarding their usage of their computer. We still didn’t have playstation 3 and we’re not planning to buy that yet so we can control the kids more. When my sister and I purchase our notebook and laptop she gave her desktop computer to my 3 kids and hubby will have exclusive use of our other personal computer.

Of course the kids were so happy that they have their own PC aside from the other extra PC but we explained to them that they can’t use them whenever they wish because playing games should have limited time only. Discipline should be imposed on our kids or else when school opens up in the coming days they will have a hard time returning to their study habits. Habits are known to be hard to break that’s why we’re not going to make it their habits.

Kids’ Stuff Inventory

DH started the inventory of the kids’ old things like books, toys and some other accessories. He placed all books in one cabinet and he asked for a box cutter because he’s making a neat little box for the toys that he’ll going to store for future users and players. I’m going to give it to whoever will want to play it especially those little kitchen toys of my two girls who are both grownups now.

We’re not yet finished with the inventory but at least DH has make a move to at least tidy things up for the master’s bedroom renovation which I hope will materialize soon. I’ve talked to my brother about the availability of his construction staff but he’s got no answer yet.
