Effects of Asbestos

I’ve been alarmed by what I’ve searched about asbestos. We know that asbestos has a lot of usability in manufacturing industries and construction in the past years and it has been widely used by many because of its ability to withstand heat. Now restriction has greatly limited its use due to the hazardous effect it has when people are exposed, actually in some countries it has been banned already.

Before it has been restricted and banned for usage there are lots of people who has already acquired diseases caused by asbestos such as lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis. It has dawned on me that some great discoveries of people like this miracle mineral are not always good on people.

Extra Luggage

My family is always traveling to different places away from the bustling city of the metropolis. We particularly love to go to far away provinces to spend some days for our camp meeting. Our camp meeting requires us to bring everything we need for 3 days including our clothes and food. The places that we stayed were usually an hour or two away from the nearest market so we need to remember all the essential things needed.

I’m a heavy traveler and I tend to have more than what we need but for me it’s also an advantage because if we extended our stay for another day I don’t have to fear for lack of something. Because my kids are fast growing up I suddenly have a need for extra luggage and I’m seeing some Samsonite luggage to buy and use for our next camp meeting in December. I always want to plan ahead so as early as this time I want to prepare everything for that much-awaited December camp meeting.

:WW - Birthday Clowns!

This is Josh with the birthday clowns. I've seen him staring at them when they're doing some magic and assisting the kids on the games. It's his second time to see clowns on birthday and he's still amazed at their costumes and the way they host the party. Before anyone had a pictorial with the clowns Josh has finished with his picture with them. I want him to be the first because the kids were getting super active at that time and I was not sure if we can have the clowns by ourselves :-) Btw it's not his birthday party!

Kettlebell

I’ve been hearing about many ways on how my friends lost their unwanted pounds. Some have followed diet regimen, others resorted to diet pills but most of them either strictly followed some exercise procedures or enrolled in workout activities. They told me gym workouts are a lot better than depriving yourself of the food you want. Indulging in workout exercises eventually disciplines your eating habit too so for them it’s the most effective way of maintaining your body weight. I’ve found some testimonies online on the advantages of having some gym exercises and saw some uses Kettlebell to eliminate fat and to have good muscles. It only takes minutes on a 3-day schedule and you’ll be on your desired weight and built. Awesome!

Childhood in the Province

I’ve always loved reminiscing my childhood in our hometown in Laguna. I could still remember the scent of the grass as my brother and I play different kind of jumping and tumbling games. The excitement and happiness of being able to climb and relax in the guava tree will never be forgotten by the years that gone by. All those years of staying in our province are the most precious ones and define most of my childhood days before we moved to my father’s town in Rizal.

The difference of living in rural and urban is that you’ll be surrounded with God’s wonderful creations when you’re in the province. You’ll see mountains, river, never ending fruit trees and animals too. You’ll experience riding on the back of the carabao or horse. Farmers are good riders, just don’t know if they’re using some equestrian apparel or equipment. For me my experience of horse riding is when my uncle put me and my brother on each side of the horse where he put a big basket for us to sit. I still smile when I remember those days.

Living near the city won’t allow such privileges but it has its own advantages as jobs are easier to find here. If you’re not into agricultural field you’ll have a hard time finding a niche there especially if your job is inclined into technology or business. I still prefer living in our place but I’m dreaming of establishing some small business in our hometown so I could be there even on weekends only. Wishes!

What Is A Mother?

'Mother', strength and dignity are her clothing and she smiles at the future. She opens her mouth in wisdom and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue - from the book of proverbs.

I've received many inspiring and touching messages from my friends, single and mothers alike and I'd like to share some of them with you:

A Mom is Gods love in action. She looks with her heart and feels with her eyes. A Mom is the bank where her children deposit all their worries and hurt. A Mom is the cement that keeps herfamily together and her love lasts a lifetime.

A mother has strengths that's amazing.
She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness and love.
She smiles when she feels like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying.
Cries when she is happy and laugh when she is afraid.
Her love is UNCONDITIONAL!
That's what Mothers are!

Jobs In Sales

Our company is into many telecommunications' small ventures like VOIP, value-added services and presently doing fine in selling monthly subscription of America Calls where the subscriber can call their loved ones here in the Philippines from USA. The service offers unlimited calling and many Filipinos in USA enjoys having it so they can talk to their families here without the fear of overcharged calls. We started with only 2 full time and one part-time customer service representatives but now this project opens a lot of jobs in sales, we hired more sales person to search and invite subscribers to try our products and services. It always brings me happiness when I saw unemployed people being given regular full-time jobs.

Summer Get Together At Villa Rubi Rosa

Had some fun last week as we gathered together and traveled to Laguna to spent the day on one of the resorts there. This time we chose Villa Rubi Rosa in Brgy. Pansol in Calamba, Laguna. We always hire private pool resort because we don't want strangers swimming with us :-) Anyway we're a big group so it's really advisable to hire one resort just for us.

Everyone had fun, the elders and the kids alike. I stayed in the kitchen in the morning and after we cooked everything - beef mechado and tilapia we (fellow cooks) dived in the pool after lunch. Josh was so happy having me with him on the other pool because he just stayed in the kids' pool in the morning. The adults acted like kids as they played volleyball, badminton and many other games in the pool.

All kids never seem to get enough of the water, they just appear whenever they're hungry and then they'll go back again in the pool. Josh was the perfect example as you can see in the picture that his eyes are reddish due to prolonged stay in the water. He also learned how to dive this time the reason why he told me when we got home that it's the best swimming he ever had. Funny! He always says that to me when he's happy!
