Optimizing Your Site

When I started blogging I was contented to have a blog that runs on a free-hosting platform. It was all so simple then. I share my thoughts and experiences in life and happy to meet new friends online. I never thought that blogging will excite me that much. It occupied my free time and breaks from work and after several months I purchased my own domain name. I also learned how to earn money from my sites and I became aware of page ranks, site traffic and social networking.

:Friday Fill-Ins #183

And...here we go!

1. When it's quiet it's nice to meditate and think about the good things in life God has always provided for us.
2. Busy days, plenty of work, attending kids' school activities and blogging are my listed notes in what seems like a month.
3. My heart is always happy when my family is enjoying my efforts.
4. Time flies so fast and it's July already, anyway Happy 4th of July!
5. In the town where I was born is not the town where we lived after.
6. Being always thoughtful is something I really love about my significant other / friend. Aside of course from being so sweet, caring and helpful. He didn't changed those traits since I've met him
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleeping and resting to recharge my energy, tomorrow my plans include finishing and doing tasks ahead of time and Sunday, I want to finish acetating some of the songs for our church!

Younger-Looking Friend

My friend is turning older again before the end of this month and he’s joking that he doesn’t look his real age because his new friends are much younger than him making him look like their age only. We didn’t see each other for months now. He visited me last year after the big flood to know how we are and despite numerous scheduling we failed to meet again because of busy activities. He’s teaching Computer Programming at some schools in the towns nearby and now he’s very busy again just like me. Anyway I just read a prototype 37c review and wondering if he could possibly be using this wrinkle cream because he really claims that he looks younger now.

He’s months older than me and we should look just the same. Well he’s single and we know that singles doesn’t have much to think and worry about so I guess I’ll accept his statement for now until I see him again. By the way he’s one of my best friends and godfather of my eldest!

Early for the PTA Meeting This Time

I had a complete sleep last night and I feel rested and refreshed. I woke up early and cooked breakfast and packed lunch for my kids as always and the two younger kids commented on the yummy burger patties I made myself. Gen told me that we’ll have a parent-teacher meeting this afternoon and I shouldn’t be late as requested by her teacher. Good thing I don’t need an eye cream to hide my eye bags because it’s not visible today, thanks to my 8-hour sleep yesterday night.

I’m actually expecting a PTA meeting a week ago because I got used to their schedule yearly that on the first or second Friday after the opening of classes they will held an orientation meeting. I remember myself juggling between my work and my kids’ school activities back then because I was still working. I had to wait for a perfect timing to ask permission from my boss to leave the office after lunch. Sometimes he’ll agree to my request too late to get to school on time. My half-day leave will turn into an under time because I’ll be off my work at 3pm which left me only 30 minutes to travel from work to my kids’ school which is a one-hour travel.

Well this time I promised Gen that I won’t be late because I don’t have a boss to ask permission from. It’s also my first time to attend meeting in their school without dividing my time between Gen and Ruth’s class because they were in the same school before. Ruth is in high school now and we already had an orientation meeting in her school two Fridays ago. I’m more relaxed now.

Inaugural Rites of President Noynoy Aquino

I just watched the proclamation of the newly elected President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III. He has been sworn in as the Philippines’ 15th President in front of his followers, spectators, friends and people of all walks of life at the Quirino Grandstand, Manila. I know that almost all families were glued at their television to watch the historical proclamation and oath taking of the new President. It was a peaceful and orderly turn over and I have high hopes that President Aquino will stay true to his word. I was impressed by his inaugural address not only by the honest words that he used but by the simplicity and humbleness of his delivery. I’m looking forward to a 6 year of reforms and good management.

I’m also hoping that economy in this country will stabilize if not be too prosperous because everyone knows that we have big debts to other country. President Noynoy Aquino or fondly referred to as P-Noy has promised a good management of this country and the people has regained their hopes again. I hope there will be more employment and investors will come in. We need them to recover from our losses and investors will also mean jobs and more income. Btw I noticed that the new President has a sense of humor and I know he’ll need that to cool him down when he takes hold of what’s left for him from the old administration. He’ll have heartaches I know but his sense of humor will surely help him plus his ever supportive sisters.

Investments Needed for Economical Recovery

In view of the proclamation of the new President I know that economy will pick up again and investments in the Philippines will definitely rise again. Investments are important factors when a country want to gain an economical recovery just like when you buy gold coins which will assure you of good returns for your capital. We know that precious metals like gold appreciates its value over the years and when you invest on those you’re most assured that it will you higher profit.

The old generation used to keep up precious metals like gold and silver which they used to sell during the hard times of their life. It posed a good investment idea for them and over the years they increased their values so those who have it until the new generation became rich.

Letting The Kids Rest and Sleep

I always tell Josh to have some nap in the afternoon after schooling but he finds it hard to nap instead he'll tell me all the things that happened to him the whole day. Well I'm glad he's like that because I get to know his thoughts and views. I just told him to rest if he can't sleep. Josh' schedule is from 7am to past 2pm so when he gets home at 3pm it's almost past napping period so a rest would be fine.

Well even if a child does not take a nap in the afternoon he needs to rest and relax. He should rest quietly at least from one-half hour to one hour. A child will take his nap without trouble if he is put to bed right after lunch, this is for children without classes after lunch. He should not be given a chance to play. Playing should come after rest and sleep. Late afternoon naps may keep a child awake at nights.

Do not send a child to bed as a punishment for disobedience. He will not feel relaxed and secure. He will not sleep easily at bedtime. Thus a happy feeling before bedtime is necessary.

Would You Have Been a Good Wife in the 1930s?

You Would Make a Great 1930's Wife

You've got a few retro ways, and you would make the ideal 1930's wife.

At least, that's how it looks on paper. You may just be an easygoing, pleasant person. With a personality like yours, you'd be a great wife in any era!

I've got no idea what it takes to be a great 1930's wife. I just checked all the things that applies to me and there I had it. Really? Did I qualified for a 1930's wife? It keeps me laughing too because it says here that I could be good in any era lol! Anyway this is only a personality test and in papers but I'll have to ask hubby if he agrees :-)

Well for the record I know the fastest way to my man's heart and that's through his stomach, he always appreciates my cooked meals, pasta and desserts!

Spending More Time with Family

I had a chat with some of the parents when I accompanied my little boy in his first week of schooling. We were talking about how important it is to monitor the child’s everyday activities in school and in home. With the current trends in kids’ hobbies which were mostly cantered in various internet social networks and games parents should set rules on when they should be online and how long they be allowed to use it. Some parents who don’t have the time to monitor usually have their kids addicted to games which can result in lesser attention in school home and school works.

It’s just so nice to be having a discussion like this and not be guilty about the time you’re giving to your kids. Yes I was a guilty one when it comes to quantity of time given when I still in corporate office but now I dedicate my time to my family. I’m happy that even if I don’t have much savings I was able to quit my job and work in the convenience of my home. Some of my friends also managed to resign from their jobs and concentrate on taking care of their kids. Some of them want to buy gold coins so they can have something to look forward to in terms of profit returns. Well they’re still thinking carefully about it as investment should be planned and carefully thought of. Any way gold is a sure investment for me so I told me to go for it.
