My 2nd Year In Blogging!

It’s my second year anniversary in blogging but not in this blog but in my first ever blog in Race Corner where I first entered the world of blogging through my bestfriend JennyL. I just went into her internet café and she introduced me to blogging. Here's my first entry. I was really interested in writing but I didn’t pursue Journalism as I thought Computer Engineering will give me a better opportunity to land a good job. Writing remains my first love and signing up in a blog somehow achieved some of my dreams.

I started out in Bravejournal and went further as months passed by in Blogger where I first experienced redirecting my blog in a domain. I opened My Crossroads, another site where I talked about my work, my crossroads - the critical decisions in my life and travel to many places where we held our church camp meeting fellowship.

This blog ‘Moments of My Life’ became my main site and though I wasn’t able to update much my first blogs Race Corner and A Beautiful Life, I still love them because they’re my first babies here in the blogging world. Blogging doesn't only gives me a chance to share my thoughts and life but also helps me earn money through writing advertisement.

Josh’ Inquiries

My two kids always tag along every time I went out of the house to buy food and everything we need. Josh was anticipating last weekend that I’ll do some grocery shopping so he got himself ready for the time that I will announce that I’ll go out. My time was limited because my Mom can’t be all alone in the house for a long time. My eldest volunteered to stay so I went to the nearest supermarket with my two younger kids.

Actually I was eyeing some ice cream parlor too because Josh asked me to look for one. Glad I found the two competing ice cream offering promos so we grabbed it and Josh was a happy kid after that. He’s just happy to pick items from the grocery and excitedly asked about the barcode scanner that the cashier is using. I told him about it and when we reached home we browse some models like Symbol LS2208 which promotes wide usage and very durable too. It can be used also for many applications other than scanning barcode in supermarkets. Josh always has many questions that will make you search for answers.

:Today's Flowers #37

Just one of the flowers in the villa, the color of this one is between light lavender and pink, just a light touch of those two colors but it actually looks white. They look pretty just scattered and hanging around the tree. Very ornamental it seems!

Remembering Ms. Rosas

We dropped by our high school teacher last Thursday, me and Bes JennyL together with our high school batch mates. It’s not a reunion or get together but we’ve visited the wake of our 3rd year high school adviser Mrs. Elida Rosas who passed away this week. She didn’t survive the pancreas cancer that was diagnosed in her last year. It was a 6-month struggle with the killer sickness enduring many cycles of chemotherapy. I heard that even if it was a painful sickness she died a happy person and fought up to the last of her breath.

Who is Ma’am Rosas to me? Aside from being the prettiest teacher and my adviser on my happiest year in high school she somehow changed a bit of my personality that led me to achieve some of my dreams. I can never forget my first day of 3rd year high when all of a sudden after introducing herself to us she began looking for a certain student who she told us was personally recommended by our last year’s adviser. We were waiting for the student’s name and I was surprised and shy when I heard my name.

From that day on she talked to me a lot, advised and encouraged me into using all my talent and capabilities to reach it to the top. She told me that I failed to reach the honor roll on my 2nd year because I don’t have extra curricular activities and that counts some percentage. She kindly forced me to join various clubs and organizations so I will not lack what is needed for extra curricular grades, I was a bit hesitant but she was very persuasive sometimes admonishing me.

My academic was faring so good then maybe because of too much encouragement on her part. My interests in all my subjects especially those hard ones increased and before I knew it I’ve made it to the top and I know she’s contributed a lot in terms of kind advices and unwavering encouragement. When I climbed the stage on the recognition day she was all smiles and told me that ‘I know you can do it, congratulations’.

Honors and awards are not that important but the way she changed my attitude in reaching for my dreams. Slowly I changed for the better me until I graduated and took the road to a higher level of education, a more confident student this time and more willing to learn everything that came my way. No more inexplicable apprehension, not too shy to face people and can solve any situation that passes by.

Weekend Relaxation

On days like these when the weather is unpredictable I’m too lazy to go somewhere outside our home. Just want to share my time with the kids, have some singing using Wow magic sing or watch home videos on LCD TV though we don’t have a much bigger screen than 21 inches we still enjoy watching together. I’ve finished all my household chores yesterday as I have to prepare for my back to office work next week. Today I just did some online assignments and will relax later. If only I could extend my leave! Wish!

Back To Work Next Week

I'm so glad that my Mom is getting stronger and her eye is fast recovering from her eye surgery. I just felt a little sad that my vacation leave is nearing its end, actually I have to go back to my office work on Monday. Having a one-month vacation staying with my kids and Mom gave me a relief from the pressures of work and though household activities is really more than I can handle it's not that stressful, know what I mean?

That's the advantage of Stay-at-home Moms the pressure on home is not that heavy as in the pressure of working in an 8-5 office and having more than one boss, not to mention the skills, capabilities and clever mind set that you have to give everyday of your working week. Wish I could start my part-time work that my boss offered to me and wish also that they will find someone to replace me, someone that will not quit as fast as the one we hired last month.

Travel Benefits

Traveling is fun and exciting because you’ll get to see places and meet new friends. Some meet their special someone on foreign land during their travels and others were fortunate enough to land a much stable job on their travel business meetings. Anything and everything is possible when you travel around places because you open yourself to many opportunities. While it gives people better opportunities some just travel for vacation or visit their loved ones abroad. Whatever your reason is the best way to travel is when you’re safe and secured when you arrive at the airport.

My friend in New York was very happy when she told me about her travel and reminds me that if any of our friends want to visit her there better be sure that they will also book Car Service Newark Airport so they can also have on time and safe ground transportation service from airport to her apartment in New York. They can also go around the whole city safely with the company’s trusted drivers. We all know that safety is the first thing that we must remember at all times especially if you’re on a foreign land and Go Airlink NYC is a trusted company that can give you comfort, convenience, safety and affordability all together. Booking online is best recommended as they have discounts for online customers. You can save $2 on one way trip and $5 on a round trip.

:WW - Summer Camp Bonfire & Grill

A snapshot of our bonfire on the night of our first day on our summer camp in Villa Dominga Forest Resort. It brought us warmth on a cold summer night and protection also from mosquitoes.

The next shot was shown with grilled chicken barbeque on one side. Unfortunately I didn't wait for the cooked chicken because I went to sleep then.
