Projects in Electronics

We dropped by MIL’s house yesterday from church to bring her home and to get DH wood housing for his amplifier project. DH brother worked on that housing last month but it turned out to be so big that it can’t be transported on public vehicle. We decided to pick the housing yesterday because our car can accommodate that and we’ll be able to bring the kids also. DH is now at the last month of his first year second semester in Electronics and they’re now doing amplifiers and home speakers for their final project for the semester. 

I remember when I was taking up Computer Engineering our project in Electronics’ subject is only AM radios and billboards. Now as my husband is taking his progress in school I notice that they’re more advanced than we were few years ago. Technology has also affected education curriculum in a way that even the most basic projects are more innovated and modern than the past decades.

:Today's Flowers#132: Star-Like Blooms

 Click the image to enlarge

I found these star-like white blooms at the abandoned park in Montalban.  Actually it's not an abandoned park but the place is not well kept and grasses are growing wildly.  These flowers shines out in the dark with its white petals gleaming beautifully against the dark environment.  We were there to see the mountains closely and the husband showed me where the Wawa dam is.  If many would recall it's where most of the water of the big flood caused by Ondoy came from. 

Happy Monday! It's late but I really want to get back joining in this meme! To see more lovely flower entries for today's flowers click the badge above.

The Value of Having Beautiful Catalogs

My friend requested me to browse her shoes and bag catalog for possible sales on me. I really want to order but I’m having second thoughts because when I want to buy shoes I want to test it on my feet. That way I will know if it’s comfortable or too hard on my feet. I’ll be able to see also if it suits me. About the bag that’s easier for me because as long as I know the material, color, size and style I could order immediately. I realized that pictures of the products should really be beautiful enough to capture the interest of the buyers. 

So that’s exactly why companies involved in selling products chose quality catalog printing site to do the brochures and catalogs for them because it will determine the volume of their sales marketing. People get hooked on glossy and full-color catalogs more than the plain ones. It’s actually expected to gain more sales because just looking at the pages of attractive catalog makes you wish for those advertised products.

Good Performance in School

I'm happy to see my kids' school class cards because all of them got very good grades, the 2 younger kids made it to top 5. My little boy's teacher talked to me about his outstanding performance and she said she would recommend him for the pilot section. He didn't study there in preparatory school so when he enrolled last June he was considered a transfer and cannot be included in the pilot class. Last July he was picked together with other 2 classmates to be transferred but I talked to the teacher that we would prefer it that he stays with his current class because he had made friends already and he’ll be adjusting again.

The transfer didn’t happen even for the other two but the teacher told me last distribution of cards that if he’ll be consistent he’ll be in the cream or pilot section next year. Anyway pilot section or not I’m happy with the school policy and quality teaching so I’m not that particular with sections. For Josh it’s a challenge again if he’ll be in the pilot because he wants to have a medal again just like in his three years in preparatory school. He’s really competitive just like Ate Gen.

Slimmer and Healthier

My brother dropped by last week and I realized I haven’t seen him for weeks now. Sometimes we just see each other on the road but he’s busy enough to drop by the house and talk. I noticed that he has slimmed a lot and his tummy is not that big now. Actually he looks so healthy and fit. I really thought he has read the oxyelite pro reviews because I know he has taken some fat burner in the past but he told me he has taken on a natural diet. 

He’s taking oats, lean meat and cut down his sweets, sodas and rice. Now I’m inspired by his discipline and control that I’m determined to continue my own diet with additional tips from him. He’s spending some of his time in the treadmill and basketball while I’m going to be active more on my workout and Tae Bo exercise. We’re going to be slimmer and healthier.

Our Little Visitor

We were happy at the surprise visit of our little darling Iya. I used to take care of her when she's a baby until 8 months old then they moved to Antipolo so her Granny and Grampy can look after her while my niece Heidi start applying for an item in public school.  

They also have their own house there because an Auntie living abroad wants them to live and take care of her house.  The house is beside their parents' house so the situation is really perfect for them.  Still I terribly miss Iya and I'm happy that they're here almost weekly.  My kids love her also and they actually wait for her on weekends. As young as they are my two girls are Iya's godmothers.

Feeling Sleepy on a Hot Afternoon

It must be the weather that keeps me feeling very sleepy after lunch time. Summer is getting near and days are getting windy and quite hot. I’m just glad that nights are cooler because that would deprive me of good night sleep. In this kind of weather it’s nice to laze around, read and enjoy the afternoon breeze. I don’t need to read about lunesta review as I don’t have trouble falling asleep, it’s the opposite I guess. 

Several years ago I had an insomnia which I incurred on my previous job. I had a job that required us to stay overnights for days which ruined my sleeping habit and schedule. After that job I experienced problems in falling asleep at night and when the morning comes I feel sleepy. Glad that I’m fully recovered now and having regular hours of sleep.

Little Boy's Practice in School

I thought I will be able to wake up early as DH already finished his ROTC but the little boy has his practice for their field demo.  DH went out early to look for red metallic foil that they will need for the practice.  He then brought it to the little boy's school to submit.  I was glad that after 3 hours Josh arrived home and we began arranging things in the house.  We always do that on weekends and it's also a kind of training for the kids.  We let them tidy their own cabinets and clean their bags except for the little boy who needs help with his big bag. 

We had an early lunch and after that we let them play in PC for scheduled hours.  We want them to enjoy weekends but we don't let them decide how many hours will they be playing because they will form a habit and that will not do them good.  They should know that playing online games has restrictions and schedules.  They should also learn to play other games outside the computer.

All Natural Diet Meals

It took me this month only to start eating healthy meals again. I bought food I will need for my diet and started planning a separate meal recipe for myself. It’s all natural like fish, tofu, veggies, oats and fruits. I didn’t buy extra ordinary foods because I plan to do a simple diet regimen. I will just lower my carbo intake and try to eliminate fats and sweets. 

I know that for now I will not need vitamins for weight loss because all my meals are healthy and all-natural. This way I don’t have to spend extra money for my program and still carry my plans. I’m also into my 3rd week of workout and I know it will be of great help to me. I just have to discipline myself on following my plans.

Endurance Supplement

I’m following a site for aerobics, cardio and some other kind of exercise since I started working out. I love the steps and workout they’re doing and it makes stronger than before. It’s actually a gospel aerobics that they’re doing coupled with some other kinds like exercise for the arms, legs, for the heart and for flexibility and strength. The trainor himself is in the 50’s and he’s still very strong and active. I wonder if he’s taking force factor because some fitness instructors uses some of it to improve stamina and strength. It can also be a good supplement for muscle growth. On second thought I think the site’s trainor has natural endurance and strength in him that he doesn’t need any supplement for now. Maybe after several years!
