:TC - Messy : Natural Disaster

Thursday Challenge
for fun and learning

"MESSY" (Children, Natural Disasters, Work Areas, Kitchens, Animals, Hair,...)

This is a shot from our veranda on the big flood caused by typhoon Ondoy that badly hit our town. Our town was submerged up to around 5 feet depending on the location or areas. This picture was taken when the flood started to decrease its height after one day of giving us deadly flood. We're lucky to have a two-storey house and we let some affected neighbors who have bungalow or one storey house stay in our place.

One day after the flood stranded people started to come home and check their loved ones and homes including my sister and my husband. It was a saddening moment for those who lost the lives of loved ones and properties. It was MESSY all over the town after the flood subsided. It took days and weeks before the mess was cleared up With God's help we were able to move on and start anew.

Avaya Telephone Systems

I’ve worked for a small telecommunications company for several years and been dealing with carrier settlements, billing & collection until I resigned from the company. Since most of our transactions were via internet and via telephone we always look for quality but affordable electronic components to use in our head office needs. Anyway it’s not a problem with regards to installation and minor adjustments as we have our technical staff to attend to every need of the applicants. Our prime service clients are the call center companies who are in need of affordable calls to US and other countries. We also cater to telecommunication needs of big corporate companies who were able to reach our usage quota.

As I can remember we used to buy phones from major dealers just to avail the discounts they’ve been giving wholesale clients like us. I know some companies also look for inexpensive components for their electronic needs to somehow cut their expenses on purchasing cost just like finding used Avaya merlin legend telephone systems which can be bought at very affordable prices and can also be upgraded to latest version. Avaya systems provide help to small and big corporations by way of reorganizing and making the telephone systems more efficient. Visit primelec.com for their full line of Avaya and other telephone systems.

Tips on Having Beautiful Smile

Having white, healthy teeth will surely bring that bright smile on your face and will make you look younger than you really are. A smile will light up your face and will add some charms on you. I'm glad that I've managed to take good care of my daughters' teeth, read about some tips here to get that beautiful smile:

1) Good dental care begins with regular and right brushing
2) Use a small, soft bristled brush. It works better than the big ones because it gets at all sides of your teeth. Or use an electric tooth brush. These brushes are very effective when used properly and regularly.
3) After brushing you can help yourself to use a water sprayer to clean your teeth
4) Don't forget to floss. Floss gently and thoroughly.
5) Eat about an ounce of aged cheese BEFORE a meal. It will eliminate the acid in the plaque and help prevent tooth decay.
6) Last but not the least,, visit your dentist at least once a year

Now you see that it's so easy to follow the tips above. With proper care of your teeth you can flash that pretty grin on your face.

Clothing for Men

Hubby just had his birthday last week and I was really thinking of my gift for him. He’s not really asking specifically what he wants and if you do ask he’ll just answer that anything can do. But anything is far from my mind as I want to give him a gift that he really needs and will be used often. Of course I want him to remember me always when he’s using my gift. Well aside from seeing some men’s clothing online I did go to my favorite department store and look for some nice upper clothes that would fit him. You know when it comes to clothes hubby doesn’t want very loose shirt or pools because it makes him informal. He wants formal clothes when he’s attending fellowship service that’s why her sister’s package was a sure delight.

Actually I’ve given him a mobile phone on his birthday as his old one had a trouble with lcd but I really want some new men’s outer wear for him to wear when he’s going out somewhere. Weather is very unpredictable these days and it’s good to bring some jacket for protection from cold. I don’t want to him to be cold and sick these days as he has enough hard work in his job. Now for searching for clothes I want for my hubby and kids I was glad that anytime I can go to Shopwiki and do some online shopping.

For the whole family’s needs it’s easier now to choose and buy the things for them like computers, appliances, toys, sport coats and blazers, jewelries, automotive and many more. With this kind of shopping you can buy the things that you want in the convenience of your own home minimizing the pain on the soles on your feet when you search around stores. No need to fall in long lines to pay for your purchases, no need to walk around shops and stores to get your needed items. Most importantly Shopwiki has all the specific sites and stores that sell the clothes that I need. It makes shopping worthwhile and easier!

:PH#197 : Balanced (Fountains)

Click images for a larger view

I picked these photos to show some balance on the water fountains here which is also in balanced with the two kids in front. These are shots from Enchanted Kingdom Amusement Park where we visited last year on Josh' educational tour. The place is really an exciting place for kids and adults as well. I also enjoyed the place and the rides even if I didn't have the guts to ride those super exciting but stomach fluttering rides. I had tons of pictures on that tour!

Camp Meeting at Villa Dominga Forest Resort

This is a late post of our camp meeting last month.

We've arrived at around 8am, a little late for the planned time because DH was trying to be friends with the car we borrowed from my brother lol! Anyway we're so thankful that inspite of our car's inavailability to travel far my big brother offered his pickup vehicle which was just perfect for our tons of baggage. We brought our church' two speakers and projector together with our things and it just fitted right up to the last baggage we have. MIL and SIL rode with us this time and we're so happy to travel together. They used to travel in different vehicle so when we finally made sure that we can bring the pickup car we told them to travel with us. The kids were happier to have Granny and Auntie with us.

The place was beautiful as ever with flowers blooming beautifully and skies so bright. The temperature was so cold that you'll have to wear jackets even if the sun shines so brightly. We've spent the four days with fulfillment in our heart. Second day was spent with communion and feet washing at the end of the afternoon service and everyone held hands and prayed leaving all problems, worries and sickness behind the year that passed and welcoming the incoming year with faith in God that He'll always guide, care and protect us. At the end of the four-day fellowship we let the kids enjoy the cold waters of the resort and traveled the road with wet hair and giggling kids. They just love it!

Jelly Animals

My kids love this jelly animals I made last week on Gen's birthday. I've actually reserved these animal shapes for them as I made all of my gelatin in big molds. These jelly shapes in dove, elephant and fish are a sure delight in my kids' eyes that they love it more than the others which I made with more fillings like raisins and pineapple. Kids really love shapes in any form and any size and these animals attracts their attention. These jellies are super yummy too as I've put milk and eggs on it just like leche flan. How about you, are you fond of eating animal-shaped jellies?

Boys in Water Guns!

Just find these pics cute and rather OA (over acting) lol! Josh was acting as if he's holding a real gun here, he's good at making faces when we're shooting and sometimes it took me ages to arrange my shots because of his many face actions, he's really a handful eh! He doesn't want straight pics or shots that will require him to just smile, to the best that he can do it he'll make faces just to be contented that he did a good pose! Funny boy! He's here with his friend King Jae, JM, Mark and Nathaniel and with the little girls too!
