Click the images to enlarge

Wow it's been two months now since my last entry for Today's Flowers because I've been too busy to stroll outside and take beautiful shots of flowers. I miss the group and the meme so I'm posting here my stock photo last December of a white-flower tree that's been used also as a christmas tree by the owner of the villa we're renting. Here I've posted a more closer look at the first photo and the whole tree at the second shot where you'll see some red and yellow balls hanging on the tree! Such lovely tree and flowers!

Happy Monday! To see more beautiful flowers around the globe click the badge!

Josh Wearing His Necktie

It’s Sunday worship service again tomorrow and I’m looking for DH necktie for tomorrow. I would like to prepare it the night before so I will not rush tomorrow. I’m thinking of buying some bow ties for the little boy and DH for a change in their look on our Sunday fellowship.

Anyway the little boy still has a new neck tie which he used on his graduation day and I found him real cute wearing it. Some lovingly teased him and called him Engineer and Congressman. He just smiled at them. Here’s one picture of him with his tie.

Two Important Things When Working at Home

I’ve been running and about the whole day but only on online works that I have filing up in my dashboard. Now I’ve almost finished them all except for one or two tasks that will expire next week. I must check first about the furnace filters my SIL is asking me. It’s so important to her and she asked me to search online as I’m connected all day on the net.

I have many offline activities this coming week and it’s safer if I finished them all to avoid rushing when due dates are coming. Discipline and time management are really important when you’re working at home because you are your own boss and it’s up to you when you want to schedule your work. You can have it in the morning, afternoon or evening. It really depends on your inspired hours of working and in your busiest time of doing household works.

Needs a One Week Rest from Work

Lately DH is not feeling well because he has some chest pains and he easily tires. He took a leave of absence yesterday to visit and consult our doctor. Big brother referred Dr. Ponce to us and we find him so nice and with fine humor. We showed him the results of DH’s x-ray and told us that it’s well and good. But on continuous consultation he found what’s wrong with DH. He told DH to relax, don’t carry heavy loads, sleep early and eat nutritious foods.

That’s easy to follow except that DH can’t do that with his current work because he carries appliances if his helper can’t and works from 10am up to 9pm and even longer on weekends. So how can he relax with his full inventory? That’s the things we need to solve and the verdict is to have an immediate one-week rest from work. He went to work today to inform his office and he has to find a reliever for his work before he can take his leave. Wish he can start resting on Monday so he’ll be fine and strong again.

One Week Trial Achievement

Wow I’ve finished my first six days of abstaining rice on my lunch and dinner. Of course the results are not noticeable at this time but I feel a lot better than last week. Actually it feels like I’m using the most effective diet pill because I feel light and healthy. Well it’s only one week now since I started it and I’m very positive with the following weeks.

For now I’m not much into getting slim but of being healthy. I’ve been feeling a little weak for the last past weeks and MIL advised me to have cleansing diet. Though I haven’t done the real and strict cleansing diet I’m doing part of it by taking rice on breakfast only and the rest of my meals consist of veggies, fish and fruits. With these foods I combine plenty of water. On Monday I’m going to reduce my rice on breakfast maybe a half cup will do.

Saving for our Franchise

DH and I are thinking of carrying on our plan to have a franchise of some products we’ve chosen for our store. We’re setting things up but we chose not to put up a store this time. We’ll concentrate on deliveries to school and offices so we don’t need to construct a small store building. It wouldn’t take too much of my time plus it’s easier to manage. If the time comes that I’ll be available to manage it while I’m blogging maybe we’ll put up a store. Anyway we’re still planning it and hope to finalize things before the school begins again in June. I’m excited with our plans and ideas and I’m saving up some of my earnings to help DH in financing our franchise.

:Friday Fill-Ins #173

And...here we go!

1. Where are my notebooks, it would be hard to work without them, they're my reference and records.
2. If wishes were horses I will go for wedding with horse carriages
3. I'd like to see the list of my eldest kid's books so I can compare it with my niece' previous books so I can save buying the same ones. I will be saving some bucks too.
4. When I was a teen, I thought I would be a chemist or journalist but I end up taking Computer Engineering due to job opportunities for people with degree on the course.
5. One of my mother's favorite sayings was Do not do unto others what you don't want to do to you.
6. I'd have a hard time doing without my personal computer and my internet connection running smoothly for my online tasks.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to resting after a day of traveling far, tomorrow my plans include cooking early so my kids can go to the nearest park where they can have biking before the sun strikes and Sunday, I want to be quiet and just enjoy our fellowship service.

Effects of the Sun

I didn’t go outside the whole day because I have so many household tasks in line for me. I’m so busy for the last few weeks and I wasn’t able to do much work in the house except few cleaning and cooking. I just checked my mails in the morning and browse the prototype 37c review to learn about what it has to offer. I need to get ready with some cream because I’m always out in the sun and I know it’s bad for my skin. Skin easily wrinkles and gets blemishes when exposed to too much sun so I’d better stay out of the harmful rays of the scorching sun. Not for that only as the heat is giving me headache when I’m out. Sometimes I go out forgetting my umbrella and I don’t want to come back for it because I’m always in a hurry.

Limiting Rice on My Meals

I’m on my 3rd day of abstaining rice on my diet during lunch and dinner time. I still have to decide if I’m going to give up my breakfast because I’m a morning person and I can’t start a day without having full breakfast. Many say that breakfast meals are fine because I can lose them all up on my activities the whole day. But I’m working on that yet and for the meantime I’m taking half servings only. My friend talks about this hcg diet she read online but I’m still keeping on my original plan and that’s getting on my healthy meal diet.

Actually I can survive without too much rice as I can eat as much fruits and vegetables during lunch and dinner. I’m taking pineapples before lunch time so I’ll be full enough not to want some other food aside from veggies. On dinner I eat a different vegetable recipe and a slice of papaya and pineapple. On other days I’m taking apples at night. Now I’m taking notes of some other fruits that are good for cleansing bad toxins so when I start on my real cleansing diet I’m ready with my supplies. I hope I can keep up with my plan.

Better Take Care than Be Hospitalized

I went outside to buy snacks for my kids and even if I stayed for nearly 20 minutes only I felt the scorching heat of the sun. It seems to get through my skin and head. It's no wonder that people with hypertension are now very susceptible to sudden attacks. Some of the seniors suffer a shoot of blood pressure when they're exposed to too much heat. My Auntie who has a high BP prevented herself from going out too far from 10 in the morning up to 4 in the afternoon. It's the peak of the heat and after that the temperature cools down a bit. It's always better to take care than to suffer attack of high blood pressure and other heart-related sickness.
