Flower Arrangements – Line Arragement

As I’m so fond of flowers just like my Mom I always want to read anything about them and how they’re arranged. Here are some tips on how you arrange your pretty flowers on your vases and pots.

There are three kinds of flower arrangements namely mass, line and floating arrangements.

First you’ll have to know where to place your arranged flowers. If you decide to place it on top of the table against the wall, on top of your bookshelf or on top of the piano you can arranged it using the line arrangement. Before choosing the flowers try considering the container and the color scheme of the room first. You’ll need few sprays. Don’t put away the flowers with curved or crooked stems as it will make your flower arrangement interesting.

In this kind of arrangement you can use one kind of flower but select the biggest or the most perfect as the center of interest. Arrange the rest of the flowers around it to emphasize that flower. This arrangement should have long-stemmed flowers. Cut the stems of varied lengths of good proportion.

You can also use different kinds of flowers for this. The tallest flower may be placed in line with the center of the vase. Don’t forget to add some drooping sprays to carry the eyes downward if the arrangement is above the eye level.

Choosing the Right Webhost

Having your own site takes up your time, money and some effort to keep and maintain to a good readable and well-visited site. I started having my site on a free-hosted blog three years ago with a desire in my heart to share inspirational thoughts, life experiences and my journey in life. I enjoyed every minute of having my blog and it somehow released my innermost thoughts and feelings that I haven’t imagined I have. Writing has always been my hobby and having a blog creates a place for me to put down all of my thoughts. It also served as my relaxation from my demanding multi-tasking job in corporate office. I was very thankful for my friend and mentor who introduced me to blogging world.

After just being in the blogosphere for about six months I heard about domain name and web hosting services. When I found that I could be more flexible if I have my own domain I immediately applied for my first name as my very first domain. I was very excited then but before choosing my web host I read many reviews about web hosting companies so I’ll have enough ideas and knowledge. I was also advised by my friend and mentor in blogging to choose my web host with enough capabilities to host my blog. They should be able to have a good reliability/uptime, necessary features, technical support, good customer service and must be user-friendly.

With the help of review sites like WebhostingFan blog owners can have the latest trends in web development, web hosting news, web hosting reviews of the top ten web hosting providers, domain names and more about web security, SEO and softwares on blogging. It’s their purpose for the customers to check the site and web hosting company before signing up and getting the services of the company. It’s best to read reviews and feedback from users because you’ll have firsthand information about the web host. For those who want to have their own site visit webhostingfan.com and decide whom do you want to host for you.

Dollhouse Miniature Kitchen

Are your little girls fond of playing dolls and dollhouse? Well look at this one? It caught my fancy when I browsed upon this page. Well my girls are growing up fast now and maybe they would not want to play with it anymore but they want this for keepsake only and for display in their room. Well I've read that it's actually for adults and not for children under 12 yrs.

I saw this at etsy.com and it costs USD10.00. Here's a descriptive caption of this miniature kitchen from the maker itself:

It shows a work-in-progress baking scene -- with cookie cutters, rolling pin, flour and sugar in process. On the shelves are bowls, a jar of jam and some cookbooks. All of the items are fixed in place. This item is for the hutch only and the other furniture is for display inspirations only.

Many Kinds of Scanner

Sometimes I noticed that the price underneath the item in some supermarkets have different price barcode scanner. In a nearby supermarket there’s one in the middle of the store so you don’t have to have it scanned by the cashier.

Well the kids love it and often they would really scan the items just to see the red thin light that scans the barcode. I told them that when they work in an office there would be many kinds of scanner also like finger scan, id scan and many more depending on what the company needs for the time record of the employees.

Crops are Recovering Now

I’m glad that every day rain always comes because it will greatly help the farmers in their crops. Before the rain some lands in country has dried up and crops died. I didn’t read any insurance for crops in insurance blog I browsed just now. It was a major loss for farmers and for the country too because agricultural crops like rice decreased harvest due to drought brought about by too much heat.

Well I think we’ve passed that bad condition now that rainy season has arrived. Our garden plants and flowers are blooming beautifully now. I just hope that electric bills will decrease this month because there will be lesser need for cooling appliances.

Better Workouts and Muscular Growth

Keeping your body healthy, fit and strong takes a lot of effort, time and discipline. I go for exercise and a well balanced diet which when blended well will give you a good result of having a fit and healthy body. I’ve started taking this thing seriously few weeks ago when I feel so overweight and losing control over eating sweets. I decided to turn away from it and started to have a semi-cleansing diet which cleanses my body by washing away bad toxins. Now all I have to concentrate is the time that I will spend on exercise because busy schedule limits my time on it. I’m still working on it and thinking about gym. I remember my male colleague turned to workout exercise when he felt he’s overweight and badly need to slim down. He can’t survive on cleansing diet so instead he enrolled in a gym workout program to help him convert his heavy-built body into a muscled one.

On his journey to changing his built from a fat overweight to a muscled toned body he was advised by his workout buddy to take supplement like BSN Nitrix, a vaso-muscular dilator which improves blood flow and dilates the body’s blood vessels. This is a non-hormonal supplement that will help those working out in gyms to develop muscles fast and aid them better in their workout exercises. This is a great help to boost energy and perform well in building muscles without being prone to over fatigue and tiredness. Great for my friend who want to really make his body trim, fit and healthy.

Are You Sunny, Cloudy, or Stormy?

You Are Sunny

You are an upbeat, positive person who refuses to get too down in the dumps.

You realize that life is short, and you know you're going to try to have as much fun as possible!

You try to laugh, play, and love every day. You believe that happiness is a choice.
You take your responsibilities seriously, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy yourself in the process.

I really believe that you have happiness in your life if you really aim for it, well it depends on your priorities. If you prefer to be a millionaire and forget happiness if it blocks your way then it's your choice. If your life surrounds God and make Him the center of it you'll be happy and sunny! Now that's my choice that's why I'm sunny!

Disadvantage of Working on Night Shift

When I was working in a semi-conductor company several years back as my very first job I was assigned in night shift. Because I was new in the company and I was excited with working on manufacturing of transformers I didn’t backed out and agreed on my shift. I worked well on night shift and I enjoyed it because my friends were in the same shift but I find it hard to sleep at daytime. I tried to look for a natural sleep aid that will help me rest and sleep before I work again at 10 in the evening but nothing worked fine with me. When I began to develop insomnia out of my night shift I requested for a change of shift and slowly my sleeping became normal again
