Old Pictures

I sorted through my old documents and pictures and found some nice ones that I want to post on my blog. It was shot using my Kodak film-type camera which I used when Digital Camera is not yet in so I’ll probably need a scanning software to help make a softcopy of those pictures. I will also add them on my FB album so I’d better finish my sorting and start scanning because from the looks of it I’ll have to do it until midnight. Old pictures always make my work slower because when I go through them I tend to reminisce good old times and go back to the past thus forgetting my work.

What are your 10 greatest joys in life?

Fellowship, My 3 kids, Dear Husband, Dad, Mom & Siblings, Relatives-friends, Vacation & Travel, Blogging and Tasks, Hobbies (cooking, reading, surfing and sports), Music and Sleep where I can forget everything and just relax in my dreams.

I’ll never do get angry and lose my temper again and here’s why:

It's bad to get angry and lose your temper at the same time because it will lead to more problems such as hurting the feelings of your loved ones, hating yourself in the end, will not solve the problems and may get worse, kids may not understand what you're trying to say and you'll be misunderstood. I learned that it's better to say some words softly to convey your message clearly. I'm trying and praying that I will not lose my temper anymore. God help me.

What’s the coolest piece of technology you work or play with?

I don't have lots of techie gadgets but my coolest I love to work and play with are my digicam and laptop! I'm saving for a nice techie wifi mobile phone!

Kitchen Light Fixtures

I like watching and observing different lighting themes of houses. I’ve been doing this during my walking exercises in one of the plush subdivisions near my work. I love looking at how lightings can do to the total look of the house and create ambience to each room with home lighting fixtures. I’ve observed that the owner of those houses have different styles of their own because they have different lightings installed in their houses. I remember suddenly that the rich people have their pride on being unique in their house and its interiors.

Due to my love for home accessories and lightings I visited Echo Lighting Design Gallery and saw a large selection of attractive lighting fixtures for the house interiors and exteriors. What caught my attention are their choices of kitchen light fixtures they have there in their site. My favorite place in the house where I stayed most of the day is my kitchen because I can also work there while cooking something for my family. I would want an ambience of softer and warmer look in my kitchen because bright lights make me think of deadlines and pressures. Well with what I saw from their wide range of stylish products I find pendant light fixtures somehow cute and looks like what their name implies- a pendant and it looks so beautifully dropping down from the ceiling.

You should visit the site to appreciate their wide range of lighting fixtures such as ceiling lights, wall lights, lamps, outdoor lightings, fans, home accents and more. I could say that you’ll never exit from the site with an empty cart because they have everything you’ll need to create your own style of lighting ambience for your homes.

PH#224: Public (Foot Bridge)

Click the image to enlarge pic

This is the new Public foot bridge in Libis just few meters away from the flyover. It was requested by Citizens patrol few years back and built early this year if I'm not mistaken. My former office is just beside this bridge and for 6 years working in that place I endured crossing the street praying that vehicles would not hit me. It was a very dangerous road in Libis because pedestrian crossing is just a few meters where vehicles rush coming down from the high flyover. I resigned from my job a year ago and it was months after that I saw this bridge being completed. When I visited my office early this year I was excited to see my dream bridge and took a photo. You'll notice that it's really quite new with all the paint still in good shades.

Little Jewels' Nutrition Day

I’m so tired that I wasn’t able to do any work online today. I attended my little boy’s nutrition day program. He’s one of the boys in Filipino costumes in white camisa tsino and red pants with the letter of N in NUTRISYON (nutrition) saying what the letter stands for. There are many presentations and I can say they’re all in good concept. All PTA officers prepared foods for all students representing each grade level with one healthy recipe food. We presented soup, pancakes, ice cream, menudo, pasta and chicken. All booths were decorated with nutritious fruits and some even put balloons. It was very festive and at the end of it we parents and teachers ate what’s left and had our group picture taking. 

Update:

To see the yummy foods we had on that day visit my post at Feel at Home.

Guidance and Love on their Younger Years

If you have a family and a couple of kids that you want to have good education and good life you’ll work hard to give them the best even if it would mean hard working days. My friend works in Africa after he got married ten years ago and until now he’s working hard to pay for his house, to support his family’s needs and save for his kids’ education. I know that he only wants the best for his kids but I told him that it’s not only money that he needs to provide for his family but his presence and guidance also. He has never been with his kids for more than one month vacation leave in a year and I think it’s not good when they reach their teenage years. His little boys will grow up and money will not compensate for the father figure that they haven’t had since they were born. He could think of other ways of earning money like putting up his desired business, investing on tangible assets or buy gold eagle coins without having to work abroad until he’s old. I know that he’s sure to make a good profit out of these gold coins after several years so it’s really a good investment.

Most stopped working abroad if they’re too old to work and when they come home their kids have grown and don’t want to stay at home with parents all the time but rather with his friends. That’s the cycle of kids, when they’re younger they want to be at your side always but when they’re grownups already they have other world beside you so you can’t keep them always at your side. So love, guide and care for them when they’re young so when they get old they’ll just remember how you loved and cared for them so much.

Memory Card is Retiring

Oh no! My cam’s memory card is slowly showing signs of leaving me. Sometimes it can be read, sometimes not. I’m hoping that it will last even up to this week only as I’m scheduled to buy some needed gadgets next week in time for my salary. It has served me for about 3 years now and now it’s slowly bidding goodbye. It’s only a 2GB memory card and I’m planning to buy a 4GB to accommodate more videos when I’m attending school program. Actually I’m thinking if I’ll buy 2 pcs. of 2GB each or 1 unit 4GB, I don’t want a bigger storage because 4GB is enough for me.

How is Your Self-Esteem?

You Have Low Self Esteem 4% of the Time

You have high exceptionally high self-esteem and a healthy sense of self worth.
You believe in yourself, and you know how to be the real you. You love yourself, imperfections and all.

I’m the type of person who easily adjusts to my environment and to people around me that’s why I didn’t had a hard time mixing with all kinds of people in all of my previous jobs. The last one I had was a complete test for me regarding balancing people because I was the officer in Human Resource Division who interviews and examined applicants to our company.

I’m also simple in ways and looks. Not the flashy kind and not the attention-seeking person. I enjoy being simple but I love myself – my simple looks, ways and my simple life. I have many friends and I know almost all of them are true friends because they’ve been my friends for decades and experienced the ups and down of life with them. We must love the real person that we are because it’s the greatest love of all. How can we love others if we don’t love ourselves?
