Fulfilling Sunday

My hands still feels slightly numb since Saturday night and I find it a little hard typing on my PC so I just finished what’s due and did some blog hopping before I rest. I had a nice and fulfilling day at the church with my church mates and every Sunday is a bonding time for my family as it’s the day that we’re all together going to church, having our lunch in our favorite fast food and just letting the day pass with no worries at all. We spend our Sundays in the church from morning up to evening with lunch breaks in between and we’re happy with the setup devoting the whole Sunday in fellowship service. We still have no car so we just hire cabs in going to church.

Excited Over HK Trip

My friend Jen will visit and tour around Hongkong with siblings Joy and Beng who will be coming from Australia and Middle East. They will meet there and together they will visit Hongkong Disneyland and some beautiful places there especially the shopping stores there. Well she really loves shopping and I know she’ll be happy to roam around Hongkong with her sisters.

The day will actually fall exactly on my birthday so I’ll be missing her morning greetings and our dinner together. It’s either we have it earlier or wait until she arrives but I think by the time she’ll be here I’ll be in our camp meeting fellowship in Indang Cavite. We have a really tight schedule on the coming holidays and I forgot to ask her if she has an annual travel insurance ready for her travel. She was so excited by her visit which she booked very early last March that she forgot about the insurance. Excitement really makes someone forget about important documents sometimes...

:PH#184: Tied (Air Balloon Ride)

I've chosen this pic for this week's theme Tied. This balloon ride caught my attention as I stopped by for sometime to see how they TIED the air balloons to its mechanical equipment to make it a fun ride. I was actually assessing the safety of the tying and the equipment and asking myself if I'm brave enough to ride in one of those tempting air balloons. The result? Of course I didn't! I'm afraid of height :-) and if there is one thing that I'm afraid is riding on those things that are too high and risky. Well for me it is even if EC has the strictest standards!

Make Them Feel Special!

Almost everyone is preparing themselves for this special occasion. In the Philippines it’s the longest holiday because as early as September people are busy with decorating their houses, business establishments, schools and everywhere you go there’s always one or two significant thing that will remind you of the coming occasion. They say it’s the most celebrated occasion all over the globe and the most festive I think because of the period people seem to allot to Christmas season.

I still remember the old school days when we were all excited about giving and receiving christmas cards and the feeling of happiness whenever we receive many cards. It would always mean that many people care and love you. It’s an expression of how much someone cares about you be it from special crush, special friend, mother, father, siblings and relatives. It’s all about giving your love. The true spirit of Christmas is showing your love and giving out something of yourself be it small gift, special card or your love just as long as it comes from the heart.

Even in these times of modern technology it’s still sweet to receive the traditional cards where we bought from bookstore but now you can order it online at ChristmasCards.uk.com. Cool isn’t it? Well for busy people it’s heaven as they can send cards to their precious friends and relatives in a much more convenient way. It can still look your own card as you can personalize it with your own words and designs. Now if you’re into saving our earth they have recycled Christmas cards which are made out of recycled papers, well that will help our environment too! So make your list now and send them early! I’m sure your family and friends will feel very special.

Choosing the Best Blog Web Host

With the current times that we have now some people can’t keep up with the new trends in technology. It seems that if you don’t continue studying you’ll be left behind. Modern technology demands further education and with little ways of being smart in reading, surfing and researching. You’ll be amazed at how the kids learn easily, you teach them just now and they know it already. It also has some disadvantage as people became lazy in anything that’s manual so if the power was interrupted we feel helpless most of the time as our life revolves in high technology.

I’m a graduate of Computer Engineering several years back and even if I’m in line with the current technology I also have to study further in computer software just to keep with the newest technology or else I’ll be left behind. Anyway being a graduate of such related course made me understand it more clearly and so I was able to use it on my blogging. Blogging has been my outlet for sharing my experiences, inspirational thoughts and my online journal for my kids’ activities. It is where I open my heart and write my thoughts which were unopened in the past. Through this I was able to meet new friends and came to know some really beautiful sites that are good for reading.

If you’re a blogger you tend to improve your blog appearances and writing style so your visitors won’t get bored. You will also seek for a better host other than your usual free hosts to take care of your site. Like me after just more than one year of blogging I’ve already chosen one of the best blog web hosting company to use. I found it through friend’s recommendations and until now I was happy with my web host. It has proven its capabilities to me and I’m glad it doesn’t fail me.

For you out there who are still thinking of getting web host for your blog you can browse through top web hosting company recommended by WebHostingChoice.com which identifies each web host’ features, affordability, uptime, technical support and reliability and you’ll never get wrong.

The Fireworks Test

My fireworks test say I'm obsessed and I'm quite surprised by the word obsessed then I found out that the meaning of that is different from what I'm thinking. Here's the result and even if it's just an informal personality test it somehow matches the real me :-)

Your Fireworks Say You're Obsessed

You are focused, single minded, and intense.
You don't let others see your intensity often, and when they do, they are quite surprised.

You burn brightly, but you also burn steadily.
You have the endurance to get the one thing you desire most.

Getting Through Financial Crisis

What’s the best way to fight financial crisis? Work hard, live simply and don’t buy unnecessary things. I remember what Mom was always saying to us when we were younger that the best solution for a debt-free life is this simple phrase - do not buy what you don’t need and do not need what you can’t buy. Simple but true. We should not need what we can’t afford because if we do that’s the start of our money trouble. If we want to buy the things we want we should strive to earn extra income aside from our regular pay.

Having an HR background from my previous employment gave me an insight of the regular pay most employees were receiving and I know that it’s enough for the basic necessities. Earning extra income could mean part-time jobs, business or some kind of investment. And if we want investment that’s sure to give us profit in the long run we should consider silver and gold coin investing. Monex companies, a well known coin dealer offers silver coin investing and has the best deals on silver coin prices. It has proven its worth in coin industry and provides the first program for financing buying of silver coins. With them you’ll have the best return on your investment.

He Wants to be a Doctor!

Josh had a fun time with the legal clinic when we had hubby's affidavit of loss for SSS digitized ID notarized. As usual Josh was with me and when he entered the law office he immediately read the name of the law firm and when the two legal partners heard him reading it he asked him to read it for them again.

Josh is a well behaved boy when dealing and talking to people and he read again this time full and clear which the legal attorney followed with many questions about Josh' age, school, honors and etc. Josh answered all of the questions with smile on his face and when he's asked if would like to be an attorney he politely answered that he wants to be a doctor. Why? He told me that he would heal his granny's rheumatism and eyes. My Mom's eyes have been healed by doctor and by God's grace so Josh would only deal with Mom's rheumatism. He loves his Lola very much.
