Missing My Friend

My friend Myrna whom I came to be working with for more than ten years and grown so close to me is currently based in East Timor. She’s working and living there with her husband as an Engineer. I terribly missed her and I’m glad that I had a chat with her. She told me that she’s fine but working hard just like me. Maybe I’ll be able to see her this summer when she comes home for a short vacation. 

Anyway we’re both using our own preferred laptops we wished to have when we were still together. I’m using mine for blogging and she’s using her toshiba laptop computers for estimation of materials needed for construction of roads, bridges and buildings. Of course her laptop has greater capacity than mine because she has Autocadd and other design software installed there. I’m happy that we’re happy and successful in our own work and nicely compensated too. Our previous jobs didn’t give us opportunities to earn more but now we’re both earning well in our chosen field of work. God is a good provider.

Money and Coin Counters

When I go to the bank I enjoy seeing their automated systems and the modern machines they use in handling money. It’s just my way of keeping myself busy while waiting in line for my turn. I used to wonder how the tellers could count money that fast as if they’re machines and I keep wondering how they can do that correctly with the slightest mistakes if ever. Anyway for the bulk money in bundles I noted and observed that they used Money Counter to help them verify the exact number of paper bills. I actually watch how machine works at counting the bills and how the bank teller would sort the bundles one by one.

It’s nice having helpful equipment to help you with the job like Coin Counter, the unique machine which does not only count coins but sort them after being counted. I learned that there are other features that package the coins as well. Very good indeed and it will make processing more efficient and accurate also. I’m glad that Huffman Security Company does not only offer the best overall security devices and service but also provides Bank Supplies, coin counters/sorters, currency counters, money counters and other machines. It makes banking easier and more enjoyable.

Durable Shoes for Sports

Ruth will have her first foundation day in TUMCS next week and she joined her class’ volleyball team just like me when I was in high school. She recently ordered her jersey and I realized that it’s so expensive these days to have sports’ uniform. Her teacher will arrange for the name printing so parents will not think about it anymore and anyway it should be done by one sign shop only. I’m glad that she’s not asking for a new rubber shoes because her shoes is still in good condition. It’s a gift from her Auntie who lives abroad and because it’s a branded one it never wear out easily. I love searching for nice and durable rubber shoes like Nike SB or other type of shoes from them because I’m also athletic. 

When it comes to sports the shoes play a vital role in keeping up with the movements and paces you need to do in playing games. This is the reason why sportsmen use quality shoes when they play because it will either be an advantage or disadvantage on their game depending upon what brand of shoes they use.

Legal Help for Accident Victims

It’s lonely to suffer the loss of loved ones especially if the reason for death is through accident. When things like that happens the first thing that comes to my mind is the family that will be affected by the loss of a member of the family. Be it the father, mother or one of the children it’s hard to accept because it’s a tragic way of losing someone you love. To make things more acceptable the family should seek out justice and ask the help of legal counsel like Texas wrongful death attorney who is committed to help their clients get their own share of fair judgment and compensation. The claimed money will be of great help to the family who spent for medical expenses when the accident happened. It will serve also as a help in their finances while they’re recovering from the sudden death.

A Course of Her Choice

It’s only two months now before the graduation of my daughter and I’ve attended the meeting for the said school event. The meeting was held to inform the parents of the things we should prepare for the graduation and that include activities and expenses. We voted for the parents who will complete the group for the PTA graduation officers and I’m one of them again this year. Last year I was the secretary of the graduating class and made all documents pertaining to that school event. Anyway it’s my kid’s last year in the school and she will soon be joining her sister in high school. As we looked back when they’re only kinder 2 on that same school we saw that their faces has changed from having baby features to more matured faces they have now. Well Gen still looks so young and naive but I can imagine her graduating from high school after another four years and taking up a college degree course of her choice. 

I told them to take any course they want just as long as they love doing it. Whether they would a job in accounting, administration, marketing or jobs in health care I would not contradict. Now they’re still not sure of what they would eventually like to take in college but Gen is telling us that she can take up Education and have masteral units afterwards. She has high regards on her teachers that she also wants to be like them in the future. Anyway it’s not surprising as she came from a family of teacher, my cousins, aunties, granddaughter and my own Mom were teachers. I guess it runs in our blood.

Preferences and Likings

Working on different companies for nearly two decades I’ve come to know people from all walks of life. I’ve learned that people have their own goals in life, preferences and likings. When I was still in the office we were talking about the things that we’d like to buy given extra money, the conversation was just to consume the lunch break time and it’s not that serious. I told them I want a kitchen showcase and techie gadgets including camera and laptop. 

One staff dreamed about all kinds of spa and beauty products, the other one an entertainment showcase and a lot more for the others. Our liaison officer told us that he will not wait for the extra money as he’ll be buying in the next coming weeks a big lcd monitor for his PC. He always spends his money on desired gadgets and appliances. His happiness relies on seeing his collection of those things. Anyway he’s a single guy and he can really collect what he wants as long as he can afford it.

Ways on Attaining Goals

I learned from my friend in the province that her son has been awarded a scholarship grant to a good business school in the city. She was elated from the news and teary-eyed at the idea that her son would be able to fulfil his dreams after his graduation. I know the feeling of passing a scholarship exam because my brother was given the chance of having scholarship grants on his college education. 

How my cousin would love to have a free education like that especially on the course she wanted to pursue throughout these years. She wanted to enroll in one of most prestigious schools for beauty like Regency Beauty Institute so she can have expertise on all aspects of maintaining and improving beauty. Hope she’ll find one for herself so she’ll be able to attain her goal and fulfill her dreams.

Cousin’s Hunting Hobby

I read something about the men’s common hobbies that excite them and one of these are hunting and fishing. I suddenly remember my first cousin in our province who has a flair for hunting birds in the mountains. We have hectares of coconut and other fruit-bearing trees and he used to accompany my uncle  there who takes care of the plantation. My cousin brings his hunting gears and proceeds to go with my uncle once or twice a week. I’m not sure if he had the same uncle mikes hunting apparel but I was sure that he’s an expert with hunting because he would not go home until he has his catch for the day. 

One day when I went to their house which I always do after school I saw him picking up his catch of the day and I backed off because the bird was moving and it was so big that I thought it would go my way. He was so proud of his catch that day and told me that he’ll have another after his hunting trip to our plantation and probably look for birds with pretty colors for me to take care of.

 Click the image to enlarge

These are my dear MIL's Zinnias which I wanted most for my garden lol! She wanted to give me each color of this kind of bloom but I forgot when we went back home.  Oh dear! My own Mom expected us to bring these to her but we went home with nothing of these pretty blooms.  We'll go back there when the car is in good condition and I'll certainly put these at the back of the pickup. 

This variety of flower with the same yellow  petite blooms at the middle is one of my favorites and I wouldn't mind having all these colors in my own garden I mean our garden.  Mom and I share the same garden.  We have the same flair for plants and blooms.

Happy Monday! To see more lovely flower entries for today's flowers click the badge above.  Also  click and visit yellow themed photos through the MYM badge!

Balancing Food Intake

With the numerous occasions that passed last month and the current birthday of my kid I really have to think twice if I’m going to continue with eating too much cakes and desserts. I have to minimize sweets and rice or I will have to look for the best weight loss supplement to help me with losing excess pounds. Actually rice is not a problem to me as I can eat a no-rice dinner but for chocolates I think I’ll have to make it an exception. Anyway I eat plenty of fruits so that would balance my sweets. I just have to discipline myself to have my regular workout exercise and to exert extra time to prepare a different meal for myself. Busy schedule won’t help my diet so I have to plan and schedule ahead my tasks so I won’t be as busy as before.
