:Today's Flowers #50

This is the white orchid that we brought home from our hometown in Laguna. My shot seems so dark as I took the shot in the evening with macro setup. My niece's hubby is growing some ornamental plants and flowers including varieties of orchids and my niece picked this one for my Mom as she knows my Mom's flair for beautiful orchids. Travel from Laguna to Rizal seems not so good for the orchid as after two days these blooms withered. It's ok as we have two whole plants with us. Just have to wait for the next blooms.

Happy Monday! Visit more beautiful flowers at Today's Flower => here.

Let Your Site Be Searched Easily

Blogging is my way of expressing my thoughts and experiences in life. It is in sharing those that I came to share also some inspirational thoughts to help people be refreshed and inspired. In this world we live in you cannot have a life without challenges, pressures and worries. The only thing you can do is to have them carefully managed in your life and to look at challenges as a way of being close to God. They say that you feel closer to Him when you have troubles; well it’s right because people have a tendency to pray hard when in need of God’s help. Of course when I share inspirational thoughts I want many people to read what I’ve written and I can’t do my objective if I don’t have many visitors in my site.

Now getting my blog indexed is very important to me especially if it’s a new one. I was just thinking that if it’s not indexed I can’t be found by searchers. Getting traffic to your site is every blogger’s wish and I’m not an exception. Whatever the reason is be it good ranking or traffic you want you can submit your site to free directory submissions which provides a way to get your site indexed by such famous search engines like Google, Yahoo and some other SEO. With this free tool available for bloggers like me I can be searched easily by my friends and those who want to read some of my shared inspirations. More traffic for me too!

I'm Not A Snob!

You Are Not a Snob

In general, you're a very open minded and kind person. There really isn't a snobby bone in your body. You are very accepting. You're not afraid to be who you are... you're proud of your individuality. In truth, you think that snobby people aren't good enough for you!

Are You Snobby?

Actually I can be friends even with snobby people but not as close friends, I can teach them not to be too snobby lol!

Beauty That Radiates!

Women by nature loves being beautiful and some who are vain enough spend time and money to enhance their features for a more beautiful look. I believe in natural beauty and I know there many ways on how to make yourself pretty without changing a bit of the natural you. You can do it by dressing up in fashion, you can make your hair the crowning glory of your face by keeping it long, black and shiny or you can just be a natural person with a strong character that will make you stand out. Beauty is from within and no matter how hard you maintain your physical looks as long as you’re not good from inside it will show also. You should be beautiful inside and out.

Talking about women, beauty and character most women accentuate their looks and status by wearing jewelries. They believe that your choice of jewelry defines your character as well as your status in life. As for me I’m very fond of heart pendant jewelry which shows that no matter how my age would add I’m always be young at heart with my chosen jewelry designs. Sometimes ladies feel beautiful, refreshing and fabulous when they wear jewelries but actually it’s the inner feeling that radiates from them that makes them beautiful and those dazzling jewelries are just there for their indulgence.

: Photohunt 171 : Utensils

I've no doubt some will ask why I've chosen this one for my entry as it looks so old. I've chosen this because this old mortar and pestle lying in our kitchen storage room has some sentimental value for me. This very old kitchen utensil which we've used for so many years before we finally stored it was a 'pasalubong' from my father (deceased) from one of his official business trips in Romblon. When he told me that he's going to Romblon he asked me what I want when he comes back. I said anything that will remind me of Romblon.

After two days he arrived with this marble mortar and pestle and surprised me with an egg that at first glance you'll mistake for the real one. I asked him is that their best in their region? an egg? Then he let me handle the object and I was surprised of the weight, it's a marble egg hahaha! I kept both of his gifts for remembrance so I'm sharing a picture of the marble utensils my dad has brought me 31 years ago, yes that long! I was ten years old then! Now you know the value of marble utensils lol!

Stylish Bathroom Faucets

As I have plenty of time now to attend to my kids and some household things I’ll have some renovation of our bathroom at the end of this month. I’ve been saving some funds for this and I think my savings is enough for my intended bathroom renovation.

As of this week I started canvassing prices for tiles, bowls, bathroom faucet and some other things for bathroom. I want some style this time so I browsed online to see beautiful products and stylish designs. It makes me want for more budget as I know those designs that I’ve seen will cost me more. Anyway I’ll check again my financial allocation for my renovation project.

And...here we go!

1. Failing in a job application is not the end of the world, the job just isn't for you, there's more opportunities elsewhere, try hard and pray, it'll work.

2. Sitting here, listening to the sound of rain falling, I feel relaxed, refreshed and ready to create a poem.

3. Green salad tastes so good!

4. Sometimes, putting others first is a great heroic act but on certain cases it's not good.

5. Sunset is breathtaking, really.

6. Well, maybe there is someone out there who is honest and good enough to be a public servant, I just wish there is.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to have a tight sleep, tomorrow my plans include housekeeping, baking/cooking crinkles and finishing my posts and Sunday, I want to devote my time with my family and to our Sunday fellowship!

Self-Discipline On Foods to Eat

Now that I’m home most of the time I can pick what kind of food I must eat in order to stay healthy and prevent myself from gaining more pounds. Last month was a real struggle for me as it’s my turn over month. I have to keep up with my hectic schedule of blogging at dawn, working in office during the day and doing household works at night then before sleeping checking out some opportunities available. My only rest from all these activities is my travel time from house to office and from office to house. I’ve been called super mom a lot of times and I keep thinking if I’m really like that. I think most Moms are and I’m not an exception.

Being at home away from the busy period of office works give me some small free time for myself which I devote to seriously planning my menu and cooking for my family. This way I can plan my lunch and dinner to consist only of fruits, vegetables and fish recipes. Actually I’ve already worked it out for four days now. If I stick on this balanced diet plan I think I will not anymore think of weight loss supplements to help me shed unwanted pounds. My former officemate tried this kind of diet and she really has a wonderful weight now. I saw her putting off meat whenever she’s eating vegetables with meat ingredients. She’s a disciplined woman when it comes to dieting and it shows in her body. Her petite body can be mistaken for a college student.

Custom Shipping Boxes

In any business concerning sales and services you have to exert much effort in getting clients that will conformer to your offered sales agreement. Like in my job before we sell prepaid cards and sometimes gateway equipment to our valued clients that uses our services for their international calls.

For safety purposes if the clients ordered equipment we delivered it ourselves especially if the order is less than 10 equipment. If the shipment or delivery will involve bulk orders I think it’s proper if we just shipped it and use shipping boxes. When I searched about this thing I learned that cardboard boxes has different styles now and can be customized with printing. I’ve seen some of the products and was quite satisfied with it. It can also be ordered online for more convenience!
