Staying Up Late Again

It’s getting late again and I don’t want this bad habit of mine staying up late and feeling so inspired to write. I can really think and write so fast at night when everyone is sleeping and I have all the time to concentrate on my subject that is if I’m not sleepy. Anyway I should not overtire myself tonight because I’m going to attend our midweek bible study tomorrow and I don’t want seeing myself with protruding acne in the following days. I’m not that prone to acne and pimples but sometimes late nights cause my skin to develop one. I don’t want my little boy teasing me about it lol! Anyway I’m just thankful that blessings are pouring nowadays and I have plenty of writing tasks to do in the following days. I thank God for the providence.

:Blue Monday - Josh in Motorbike

See my little boy here as he enjoys riding in his rented motorbike here. The other little riders here became his friends after spending almost an hour there. He easily make friends you know like Mommy :-) It was a shot from his last birthday when we celebrated it at the mall where hubby was working. Just got lucky to capture a decent shot here while he's roaming the circle. SM North Edsa was newly renovated then and we visited the new Sky Garden.

Happy start of the week! Click on the badge for more blue monday pics!

Lessons Learned

Life is a mysterious road that sometimes you have to reach the end before you know it’s not what you think it is. Oftentimes we just ignore what our elders advise us when we’re young thus leading us to a life full of complications and anxieties. If only we know everything and if only we listen every time. When we commit mistakes we just have to accept our faults and learn to stand up after the fall.

We should learn from our past mistakes, gain knowledge on the lessons of life and let God guide you in His helping hands. Try to see His grace and bountiful blessings on us. If you let God be the center of your life you’ll have a life leading to the right way.

Outdoor Grilling Experience

I love preparing food for my family inside our home or anywhere else. We often spend vacation far away from the city where we could have camp meeting, fellowship and some kind of picnic at the same time. When we talk of picnic I’m referring to bringing some yummy foods, fruits and having barbeque grills to complete your outdoor activities. The kids enjoy it and so are adults. If we don’t have time to go somewhere we just do our get together family picnic in our backyard patio but it’s better if we have our outdoor kitchen grill just like lynx grills which has the best quality gas grills with full accessories and beautiful stainless barbeque grills. You’ll feel as if it’s you’ve brought your indoor kitchen outside with its modern features that spells quality and performance that completes outdoor grilling experience. It’s fitted for the sophisticated individual who enjoys entertaining friends in their backyard because it’s stylish, convenient and fully functional just like your modern indoor kitchen.

Well when it comes to superior design and power you might as well choose another kind of grill that I also found in Outdora. I’m referring to the viking grill which is a heavy duty commercial range made for the home. With its wonderful features as the most powerful grill burner in the field, with rotisserie rod and with many other features that you’ll want to have one in your house. It’s like doing your barbeque the professional way.

As an aspiring cook I have flair for kitchen equipment and accessories and I love browsing at different sites for the things that I want to have even if it will take some time before I’ll be able to buy them. And one of the things that I love best is getting the perfect barbecue grill for our specific needs. I actually want a grill that I can carry anywhere and can accommodate multiple grilling. I also want to use wood or charcoal fuel so I will not worry about the fuel when we’re far away in the province or beach sides. I found the Round Rock Rotisserie and Fire Pit very ideal to what I’ve been looking for because it has a main grill surface and rotisserie that can be used at the same time. Just perfect! I’ve enclosed here pictures of the grills I want!

Blue Monday-RT: Vintage Airforce Car

This is the car which was used by Commander-In-Chief decades ago. Now it was maintained and preserved as one of the displays in the Philippine Airforce Museum which we visited as part of the itineraries of my lil boy in his educational tour few months ago. There are plenty of old things there including planes, valor pins, uniforms, paintings, flags, guns and many other old equipment used by the Philippine Air Force in the old times. It was an exciting place for a person like me who likes old things, I collect old coins and some other old items :-) The little boys here enjoys looking and riding at the planes.

Happy start of the week! Click on the badges for more blue monday and ruby tuesday pics!

Still In Love

It’s another two months and we’re into our 14th year wedding anniversary. Time flies so fast and we can’t believe we’re really together for that length of years. I can say that it’s been years of blissful happiness but we’ve also experienced the usual waves of problems. With three kids as the living evidence of love we’re happy to see them growing up nicely with love from us.

As I was doing some general cleaning and inventory of our things I came upon our wedding pictures and some copies of wedding invitations which turned a little yellowish from years of storage. It’s as perfect as it should be with embossed letters of promise, vows and entourage list. With it I slowly remembered our time spent and efforts arranging our dream wedding. It’s actually a simple Christian wedding but our love for each other is one of the best things that happened in our lives. We’re so in love and until now it never change a bit.

:RT/WW - Petite Blooms

I love looking at small dainty flower blooms, makes it worthy to focus my cam and do some macro shots! What makes this one special? This one has survived the big Ondoy flood and Mom was so happy that after several days it bloomed beautifully! Flowers make my Mom's day special!

She has a green thumb when it comes to plants and flowers, she got it from her parents who've grown rice, fruit trees, coco trees and various veggies in their land in Laguna (40's and 50's). Quite a history!

The 2010 GMC Canyon

I just came back from my kids’ school to meet with the graduation committee and it’s so hot outside. It’s just a few days more and summer is here, actually with the way weather is going now it seems like we have an early summer season. I’m excited with my kids’ vacation because I can be with them most of the time. It’s my first time to be home always during summer as I’ve always been in my office. When we talk of summer it’s nice to go places where you can have picnic, swimming or get together in some restaurant. But with the heat nowadays it’s nice to go around in a car to minimize exposure to excessive heat.

I’d like to go around on a pickup truck because it’s more convenient for me as we can carry all our things in the back and we can accommodate friends to go with us. Some people prefer other cars to go somewhere and it depends on where you’ll be going to. Finding a car is also like that as it should depend on your specific requirements and needs just like the 2010 gmc canyon which has a nice exterior styling but carries a very plain interior. Well some people don’t care much for the inside look as long as it looks good outside and some care for the features, quality and performance.

Although GMC Canyon’s interior is not appealing it has a powerful V-8 which makes its’ performance something to look forward to. Aside from that it has safety features of new side-curtain airbags and standard electronic stability control which ensures safety while driving. With good quality, performance and safety this car can cover up a very plain interior. Well as I said it depends on what you really need or want in a car. It’s better to read reviews first before plunging into buying a car. Better safe than sorry.

The Highest Salaried Job

This phrase caught my attention and it somehow touched my heart. Even if it’s still few months before Mother’s Day I just want to post this quote and dedicate to all mothers out there who give their time, effort, care and love without expecting anything in return. Seeing this quote made me smile because being a mother is really the highest paid job because they only receive love of their kids and husband as their salary. They just want love. So if you still have your mothers with you show them that you care and love them. That would make them happy and fulfilled.
