Josh is Now 6!

Josh turned 6 today leaving me just one more year to his toddler years when he will leave those baby days next year when he reach 7 years. As he's my youngest a part of me still wants him to be always just like now bubbly, always excited about new things, always asking 101 questions a day :-), sweet, thoughtful and the funny kid in our house. He's such a charming and lovable kid even our neighbors told me so. If there's an award for the Little Mr. Friendship I'm so sure he'll win the title.

For now I'll just grab whatever childish charms he now has and cherish it so when he finally grew up I'll just recall all his pictures and funny videos so I'll not miss his baby days.

Activities for his birthday were posted on my other blogs!

:PH 177 : Orange (Bench)

It's Josh birthday today and we had fun celebrating it in hubby's place of work in SM north edsa. Here I got my entry from one of the bench located near motor ride. We sat across this orange plastic bench while waiting for Josh who was having a fun time riding on motorcycle. He was so happy that we went to his dad's work because he can't leave early.

NYC Sightseeing

I love to go places and I always bring my camera with me so I can have some memorable photos to document all the places that I’ve been to. I’ve been stucked for several years in my job in a very tight schedule where I consumed my vacation leave mainly for attending to my kids’ school activities. My work demands that I’ll be at the office always so absences are far from my mind leaving me no time for myself. I’m just glad that I had chances of traveling in line with our church camp meeting fellowship. We held our semi annual camp meeting on far away places so my liking for going to different places coincides with our church travels.

My likings for traveling to various places lead me to browse online for vacationing resorts and great places to visit. Sometimes it helps some of my friends who have the time and money to spend free time going out of the country and vacationing. They asked me to search about places and if they feel that the place is good they plan their vacation on my vacation finds. Recently I’ve browsed through New York Sightseeing sites and found that they have packages for group sightseeing tours which offers visiting to different places in NYC like downtown tour, empire state building observatory, Washington D.C., top of the rock observatory deck where you’ll get to see spectacular views of New York and many other attractions of the city. My former officemate was so happy and excited upon seeing what I have found for her and she planned her trip three months from now.

Save Money with Used Quality Saddle

I’ve visited my hometown in Laguna and was amazed at how the town progressed. I’ve noticed some small computer and technology schools in the town where many students who can’t afford to study in Manila can study and finish a decent course there with a degree similar in the city. It’s very tiring and expensive to study far from your home that’s why most friends I know live in dormitories and went home weekly or monthly. Anyway it’s still good living in the province even if it’s far because you can feel your body relaxing to the weather and there’s some inner peace you can have by looking at the mountains and sky. Everything is so green and peaceful there unlike here in the urban where there’s a lot of pollution everywhere, noise and air pollution I should say.

Well I’ve rounded up my hometown and I suddenly stared at the horses in the field. It’s not everyday that I see horses in my vicinity that’s why I stared and another reason is I like the saddle that the rider is using. It made me remember the one I’ve seen on the net the other day where the site offer Western Saddle Sale where they sell the branded saddle at a very low price. The saddle I’m talking is the used branded saddle that the site is offering for a very competitive price. Actually I’ve been weighing things up when I read those offers and I can say that it’s really good to buy quality and branded saddle than buy a new low quality ones.

If you’re interested with what they’re offering you can visit their site and see for yourself how Buying a Used Saddle can save you a lot of money which you can use for some other household expenses. Sometimes we really must think twice before buying anything. If you’re planning to buy online try some research or read some reviews first before making a purchase. I for one never thought that there’s a site offering Used Saddle Sale which for me is a great opportunity for those who want the quality of a good saddle but can’t afford the price of brand new items.

Intermittent Connection

Lately I've been having problems with my internet connection and most of the time it happened on evenings so at least I have the whole day to work on my online tasks. Now I got worried because I'm having frequent connection problems even on daytime which is affecting work, sometimes I'll have to wait for an hour or two before the connection returns or stabilize.

I thought this is only due to weather condition or something but when I learned that my friend's connection with the same provider is stable enough I immediately called the customer service of Smartbro and I'm happy that she has diagnosed that my connectivity problem lies on my antenna. Yes I'm having bad signals lately and Ms. Cameron of Smart (what a nice name huh! from Charlie's Angels?) assured me that their technician will be coming tomorrow morning to fix the problem. I'm happy enough!

So to those sites whom I failed to dropped by and visited kindly bear with me as I go through internet connectivity problems. I'm just chancing out on intermittent connection.

Ensure Safety with the Experts

The most prevailing deadly sickness among women today is breast cancer, I know this by heart as I have close friends and relatives who died from this killer disease. Two of my cousins had breast cancer but refused to tell us earlier of their disease. They died at young age making me feel it as a big loss because one of them was just starting her teaching profession then. There are many factors causing this disease but there are no fixed theories on how you can prevent this thing to happen to you. Of course the normal balanced diet plan and daily exercise will help to make us healthy and strong to combat some sickness.

With so many risks of having this kind of disease women tried to follow doctor’s advice of semi-annual checkup, mammogram and other preventive measures. In addition those women who want to take the risk of enhancing their breast should think first before getting surgeons to do it. It’s a great danger if they chose a non-specialist and will cause them future problem in health. They should get experts like Miami Breast Surgeons to ensure safety in operation. They know the best techniques and have the experience of doing surgical operations and some other non-surgical procedures like acne treatment.

Though I still believe in maintaining our natural beauty I understand some cases where they really need breast surgeons like the case of my friend who was diagnosed with dangerous cyst that caused the removal of her breast. After few years of surviving the deadly cancer she wanted her body to look normal and consulted the help of surgeon.

Ten Things I Hate About Traveling

I love to travel even if I only travel around my country I just love the feel of hopping from one place to another meeting new friends, learning different cultures and seeing beautiful places. But traveling is not always fun and easy, sometimes it tires your body too much you can't go on traveling for more. Anyway here are the Ten Things I Hate About Traveling (this is for land travel only):

1. Heavy rains, on long land travels it's dangerous because the road is wet and it's easy for the car to slip.
2. When the kids are restless and ask for impossible things or things located in the compartment. You have to stop to get what they want.
3. Heavy traffic
4. Long lines in the stop over station comfort room
5. Reckless drivers
6. Delayed departure
7. Can't bring all my necessities (I'm a heavy baggage traveler)
8. When the car breaks down on a deserted road
9. Forgot/Left some important things
10. Can't sleep when hubby is the driver on a midnight long distance travel trip (He might sleep too if everyone is sleeping)

:Today's Flowers #55 - Magenta Orchids!

Click the image to enlarge and see the full beauty of the orchid

My theme of flower for this week is magenta that's why I've chosen this one from my friend's garden. This is actually the neighbour of my peach orchids entry last week, they live in the same garden :-) I'm actually a lover of pale ans pastel coloured blooms but this one got so much color that you can't just pass by, I stopped and looked at this one and took a shot. I thought that this flower deserve a shot as it's really beautiful on closer look. The color is so vivid!

P.S. I just created the name of this one from its color, I don't know the name of this orchid!

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