Vehicle Reimbursement

When I was still working in a telecommunications company I’ve been involved with giving reimbursement expenses to employees especially the managers who were given the benefits of reimbursing money spent on representation expenses. This representation allowances is basically dedicated to expenses incurred on a business meeting or out-of town meals and some other costs incurred through meeting with prospective clients. The monthly expenses vary differently as meetings with clients are not regular and fixed.

With regards to gasoline expenses each manager were given Car Allowance to use on their personal car which is used for their official business trip. It is given in a way of transportation or vehicle reimbursement. Actually it’s not as organized as they don’t have specific rules how much or how far they will reimburse allowances to our managers.

Companies should really consult a finance specialist or companies like Corporate Reimbursement Services, Inc. (CRS) which can help customize reimbursement programs for employees. They based the calculations on the number of actual business miles run, gasoline prices, tax and some other conditions. Since it’s harder for the client to create database for their own companies it’s easier and quick with CRS as with the use of their system companies can save a lot on their costs especially on the cost of purchasing cars for the managers.

:WW - Bio Research Educational Tour

This is Part 2 of Josh Educational Tour. I'm posting here his tour at BioResearch where there are mini zoo, butterfly farm, honey bee culture and many fishes. I have plenty of shots here as the place is really big and almost have everything. Just don't hope that much on mini zoo as there are only few animals mostly birds only. It's mostly fishes and plants.

I'm sharing some photos of their fishes. More of Bioresearch next week.

Drink Only Safe Water

We’re so glad that everything went back to normal again after two weeks of different problems in power, internet connectivity, some problems in other food supplies and sometimes not so clear water coming from the faucet. These problems were all due to the storm that hit the country. Suddenly people are aware of having emergency lights, extra batteries for flashlight, some food stored for the rainy days and water filters to assure them that they drink clean waters. As for us we only order purified drinking water to our trusted source because it’s cheaper than maintaining our own and our source has one of the best water filters in town.

:PH# 182: Sports (Race Driving)

Click the images for large viewing

This is the Junior Kart-Trak sports located in Enchanted Kingdom. I had the chance to take a shot while there's a couple who was currently taking the drive. The girl was screaming at the spped they're having. Now we didn't ride as Josh is still very young for that. We just watched as teenagers enjoyed the ride in race driving. It looked fun and thrilling to me. I would have loved riding it if hubby is with me. But for sure I'll scream lol!

Lovely Thoughts

After a week of restoring the house in its normal conditions, cleaning and saving what’s left after the storm I’m really tired and no matter how I rested it seems not enough to restore my energy. Glad to say that our appliances were 95% restored and we’re almost finished except for the major repair of our car which was submerged completely in the recent flood that hit lower part of Luzon. The kids were happy also that their schools were not so affected and they’re back to normal schooling unlike some schools that really needs major cleanup and repair.

Now while having some time for me it’s a pleasure to think of a one week vacation somewhere quiet and has breathtaking views just like orlando vacation packages is offering. It must be so good just sipping coffee in a veranda looking out the beach and smelling the sweet scent of trees around. It’s a lovely thought.

Josh was trying to move the target here when he climbed the fighting equipment here in the grounds of Airforce Museum. They said that the planes and machines here are the real ones used in the old days. Josh was so amazed to see the old planes at their recent educational tour. This is just one of the itinerary of their group. Will post again next time.

The Advantage of Having Mobile Homes

Still many people in the evacuation area can’t go back to their homes as most of the homes are still submerged in flood waters or worst some houses were swept away. Actually I’ve heard news that the leader of the country instructed the head of the housing agency to look for relocation areas for the people who live beside the rivers.

Since it’s dangerous to live near the rivers the government will give them place to build new houses and livelihood projects to earn their living. It’s really hard to lose your home and in cases like that some people would love to have mobile homes so if anything happens they can easily transfer their homes to a much safer place. Anyway it’s not that costly either as suppliers of these mobile homes have variety of models according to your budget and personal preferences.

:Today's Flowers #60 - Yellow Hibiscus

Click the image to enlarge

I missed this meme last week because we were hit by storm and electricity took 6 days to resume. I can't go to another place or town to do my posting because we have tons of cleaning up to do, makes my blogs my second priority then. We have to look for extra purified water, gas and decent food to eat as every store near us has been flooded too. Communication and network signals were bad and I had to go to Smart booth for the free call to my hubby's office to inform them of what happened to us.

Anyway now we're returning to normal life and I'm posting my entry for this week. Luckily our plants and flower pots were not affected by the storm as our gumamela blooms suddenly after one week of storm. I've chosen this yellow hibiscus to represent the color of sunshine. God has sent the sun to give us message that there's hope after the storm.

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

Continue Your Health Education Online

It feels good to help others especially during crisis or situations that call for immediate attention. When I go to hospitals I really observe how the staff works and I noticed that they’re so dedicated with their jobs. On the recent natural disaster that happened in our town there were many cases that were admitted in emergency room. Hubby and I were there because he had an infection in his feet due to prolonged stay in the flooded waters. I just admired how they treated the patients with urgency and diligence giving enough vaccines, cleaning and attended every patient’s wounds and sickness with patience.

Many of them didn’t go home on the critical days of the storm and they had eaten scarcely. I admired people who can cure sick persons and being able to do their job with much dedication. Some of the staff there who helped the hospital staff is under graduates and they only assisted the doctors in scheduling, instructing patients and on not so medical works, they just wanted to help in any way they can. I hope they can continue their education in the field of health even if on online education only just like in Allied health institute who helped in the pursuit of education in the field of allied health. They provide online education to those who cannot study in normal traditional school. That’s achieving your dreams in the most conventional way!

My Road Trip Test!

You Take the Road No One Travels

You see life as precious and special. Heritage and family are very important to you. You often find yourself rushing through life. You don't take as much time as you'd like to enjoy the little things. You are all about risk and randomness in your life. You travel off the beaten path... in fact, you're often the one carving the way! You are able to find a fairly healthy balance between work and play. You work when you need to, but you never let yourself burn out. In another life, you could have been a great novelist. You have a knack for describing things in an interesting way.
