Lake Villa Resort Bday Celebration

This is a late post of my Mom's birthday celebration in Lake Villa Resort last May 29 , a day before her real birthday where we spent the whole day of her 78th birthday swimming, eating and relaxing. It was a nice bonding moment for all of us there. We traveled in convoy arriving in 2 vehicles and another 2 cars at lunch time. It was attended by our family in Cainta, hubby's family and our close relatives in our Laguna hometown.

Mom's a happy celebrant with her eyes smiling the whole day through. Our birthday wish? Of course peace, health, love and happiness for our dearest Mom. God has already gave His best gift last year when He has sent one of the most wonderful miracles in Mom's life and that's the gift of seeing again after being blind for 2 weeks. We're not wishing for material blessings as we've received the most important gift of all - God's wonderful love for our family.

Sharing here some pics of our happy outing:

:Friday Fill-Ins #180

And...here we go!

1. Staying near the mountains, resting, having a nice time with the family and forgetting about my tasks for awhile feels great.

2. The solution is within reach, you just have to recognize and acknowledge it then you'll fine and happy.

3. Thinking about the title of my new blog while watching Robinhood made me fall asleep.

4. How about thinking of some ways on how to spend the day away from my laptop, I'm doing it right now because we're here in Montalban and I'm just taking a peek here!

5. A healthy diet of less rice, small portions of red meat and plenty of veggies and fruits a day is something I highly recommend!

6. Imagine the world without internet is like imagining myself doing another thing for a living, maybe I'll be writing in some magazine or newspaper.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having a restful sleep because I don't have work here in Montalban, tomorrow my plans include spending the day bonding with my family without thinking of my blog (well a few email checking won't get in the way I think :-) and Sunday, I want to drop by the mall to buy few things for my kids, it's payday!

Maximize Your Potential and Skills

Few days from now I’ll be very busy again with preparing my kids’ school things and in attending school activities. Maybe not that busy with school functions as that of last year as my eldest entered secondary school now. I’ll be busy with my primary students because they require a lot of parents’ meeting and interaction with school teachers and officials. I’m always one of the officers in school and that consumes my time more. Anyway it’s fine with me as long as I can manage my time well because when I’m active in school I get to monitor my kids also.

Now all of my three kids are enrolled in three different schools and I’m seeing myself juggling my time in different schools, my household chores and my online works. I don’t have to worry much as DH helps me with the kids. He’s so patient with teaching and helping them with their assignments. He also helps me with some of the house works so I guess I’ll still have time to work online. In few years time my two girls will have to research college degrees of their chosen field and as early as now we’re guiding them on how they will be able to know what their potentials are. I told them that they should choose the one that they really want to do when they work so they will also enjoy studying.

For those who are still in the searching process they can visit CollegeDegreesToday and choose from among their list of online and campus-based schools where they can search also for the list of degree or courses available. A degree in college is very essential in getting a good-paying job and it’s a plus also in your credentials.

My Twitter Account is $20

$20

Created by WhatsMyTwitterAccountWorth.com

I saw this twitter account worth from my friend Dez and I immediately searched for mine. Since I was only a member here for several months only and I'm not following too many accounts I guessed that it's only worth not more than $10 and i was surprised to get a $20 worth. When I checked on other accounts whew! they're worth thousands especially the celebrities, oh well that's what their being an artist for isn't it? They really should have that worth because they have many followers. as for me as long as I enjoys tweeting my friends I'm happy enough.

Care to know your twitter account's worth?

Here Comes the Rain Again

The rainy season is really here now and my friend thinks that he'll have to postpone his vacations plans because the intense heat of the summer is gone now. Just only two weeks ago many people has been thinking about vacationing abroad and getting good package like Branson vacation packages or some other traveling vacation promos but now they're having second thoughts. It's more comfortable to sleep now and you can sleep without air conditioners.

Last month even the cooling appliances seem so tired from functioning the whole day. If only they can file their complaints lol! Of course they can't as they're not humans. Anyway I'm positive that electric bills will be reduced also just like the heat that's been swallowed up by shower rains. I just hope that it will not rain so heavy because I don't want floods.

What's Your Life Mission?

You Are the Artist

You are unique and inspired. You aren't happy unless you are making art of some sort.
Almost anything can be a catalyst for your creativity. You find the whole world stimulating.

You have beautiful visions, and you're good at expressing them. You like people to see what you see.
You also have an inventor's spirit. You're always thinking up new ideas and concepts.

This is a nice discovery of myself but I always thought that I could come up with fresh ideas and concepts even when I'm still working in corporate office but it seemed that they're not for them. I'm glad that I can now put my best ideas and thoughts on my sites where it's needed.

Maybe working until 40 is just the right age for me as doing the same things for many years deprive the mind of learning more. It was like a routine job and even if I was given a completely different field of job I also get tired of it after 6 years. The excitement was gone after few years and it's only the earnings that kept me going. I wasn't happy anymore....but I am now :-)

Comments on Online Advertising

I’m surprised that only a small percentage of businesses have really advertised online. Well if this is really the figures it’s imperative that they will search, plan and study on the kind of online advertising they would choose. It should bring them the traffic they need and the right advertisement that would promote their company’s products and services

Shopping for Tools and Gadgets

Women love shopping and most shop for clothes, bags and shoes. It’s alright if you have extra money but if you shop with your credit card be sure to prioritize essentials before luxuries. Of course I’m one of those women who love shopping but I go for the best buys in town when I buy my clothes and accessories. I’m not particular with signatures or brands as long as it has quality and style.

I’m also fond of buying gadgets, tools and home basics. I really can’t stop myself stopping for DIY and computer shops because I like collecting the tiniest of tools. Now I’m collecting small screwdrivers, voltage tester, long nose and some other small electronics tools. I’m collecting it so we can carry it anywhere without bulking our bag. It’s also a great help on camping and other outdoor activities.

:Today's Flowers/Ruby Tuesday : Red Santan

Click the images to enlarge

I'm happy that I'm back here in my favorite and one of the first meme I joined when I was in my first year of blogging. I love flowers and every where I go no flower escapes my lens lol! My eye always hunts their beauty no matter how simple and small they are like this red santan blooms which looks like pink in macro shots maybe due to sunshine. Santan (Ixora Coccinea) is an all season flower here in our country.

Studies revealed many healing properties of this flower like: wound healing, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitumor, anti-inflammatory,anti-ulcer, protection against electroconvulsions and many other uses.

Happy Monday! To see more entries for today's flowers and ruby tuesday click the badges!

TBS - Skyhigh

This is a good and inviting review with an exciting introduction about having an adventure. It feels like I’m also going on an adventure riding in Sedona hot air balloon. It must be so exciting to have an adventure vacation riding those balloons. It’s something that you want to do once or twice in your life to escape the sometimes boring routine of everyday life.
