The Best Treasure for Your Kids

Every couple would want the best for their kids but sometimes you can’t have all that you want because of some reasons. One of the reasons that hinder us parents in giving all the best for our kids is lack of enough money to buy them all they want. Although it’s not good and practical to give everything that our kids asked from us we still want to give the best of our love and endeavour to them. As for me it’s best to give them a good future by ensuring that they get the best education because education is one of the things that you can’t buy and it will never stolen. It’s one of the treasures that we can leave to them if we don’t have treasures and money.

There are other things that we can do to secure their future and one of them is putting our money on safe investment. I’ve been wanting to buy gold coins last year when I resigned from work because I want my money to have a high profit return . I don’t want to invest on things that have not guaranteed to make a profit because that’s what business is for. Besides I would need more money in the coming years when my kids enters secondary and college education

Vacation Extended

It will be few days remaining before the opening of classes and we’re making the most of the kids’ vacation by spending this weekend here in hubby’s family house in Montalban. I’m having a great view of the mountains while I’m blogging beside the windows. I was surprised that we’re still here; DH asked me if it’s ok with me if we stay another night since we’ll never know when we’ll be able to visit again. School classes tend to be so busy most of the times and we’ll have to plan every visit we’ll have according to the kids’ school activities.

We still have to make one final shopping for their things. I want to shop for the little essentials such as hankies, lunch box, rain protection and maybe some urban clothes. We actually planned to do it this weekend but DH opted to stay another night. So here I am blogging until I feel sleepy. I’m not used to doing nothing and after lunch we’re just relaxing and chatting in the garden. I’m just sneaking some minutes to check emails and post short tasks so I’ll be early for my due days. It feels great to do assignments ahead of time. I felt very organized and disciplined this way. Besides I’ll still do some tweaking on my new blog, my new baby!

Stress Tabs

Its chocoholic time again as the kids got their share of their Auntie’s sweets for them. It’s not only the kids but the adults as well. We’re a certified chocoholic family and I just have to limit their intake for the day as they will have problem in their tonsils if I’ll be lax on them.

For me chocolates are great stress tabs and I’ve been using it as such when I was still working in corporate office. You’ll never imagine how much stress, worries and pressures I have in a day being an Admin, HR, Billing and Accounting Officer all in one. I’ve grown used to it and I can handle it well with coffee and chocolates by my side. It’s true friends! I’ve done it many times before. After a stressful meeting with the bosses I just take my bar of choco and I’ll feel better. I think it’s something about the sweets that controls anger and temper. Try it! Still the best remedy is prayers!

Too Excited to Sleep

We went to airport few days ago to fetch SIL from UK to have a few weeks’ vacation here. It’s the first time that DH is available and he has plenty of time in the afternoon to go anywhere. SIL was impressed with the fast procedures now in NAIA airport and she’s happy to travel without traffic. She has experienced heavy traffic on all her visits here. We went straight to Shakeys for a quick midnight snack. Well by the look of the meal package we ordered I was thinking if I will need alli in the next few days.

Josh was bubbly and excited on seeing her Auntie and he was all smiles when he was told by SIL that he’s cute. Talk about being flattered, he really like it being called cute lol! I was surprised that he’s not sleepy considering that it was already past midnight. He enjoyed the food and I laughed when he compared it with Pizza Hut’s foods. He loved both just like me. We went home after 2 hours and Josh was not able to sleep. Maybe it’s the result of eating the sherbet ice cream which made him alert and active. I was relieved when he fell asleep before the morning sun sets in.

Work Blessing

It’s nice to wake up to a cool morning unlike the past few weeks that the temperature was very hot. I’ve worked overtime last night to finish tons of work but I stopped working when I’m half finished because I don’t want to get some headache again. Now I’m having a blogging marathon to finish half of the sets I left last night. It’s good that DH helped with the chores so I get my full time on online works only. I have to make it really fast for us to prepare our things for our travel to MIL’s house. Well I don't mind doing these tasks as it's a work blessing for me. I've been receiving tons of work these past few weeks and it's just right for the school opening expenses. Thank you Lord!

Imparting the Value of Education

My nephew started going to school this week for his Advance Math class. Their school will start classes next month so my brother thinks that he could do some advance studies for his Engineering math subjects. He’s taking up the same course as my brother , a BS degree in Civil Engineering so he could help my brother in their construction business in the future. His inclination is into music but he’s no going to taking it as his college course because he’s already good at it.

Last year when he asked us all what he will take up in college because all he wants then are music and computers. At first he planned to take up the same Computer engineering course as mine but when he finally graduated from high school he research college degrees and decided to take up Civil Engineering in MIT. We’re happy with his choice and I know my brother will teach and guide him on the hard math subjects that we both gone through when we were studying.

I’m glad that Mom had imparted the value of education to us and we passed it through our kids. We value education that much because when you have it or finished a degree it’s your powerful tool in getting a good paying job. Well you should also include prayers in all your undertakings to have the proper spiritual guidance in our lives.

For those who want to search education degree and schools you can browse online collegedegreestoday.com and have your pick of online and campus-based schools and college degree of your choice. Finish a degree and it will help you achieve your dreams.

Oldest Shoe

This news caught my attention as at first it doesn't look like a shoe to me. I thought it was a cloth shoe but it's indeed a real leather shoe found in Armenian cave and it's about 5,500 years ago when last worn by a human. The shoe was stuffed with grass (of the same age also) and seen with other human things. For sure the cave was resided by the old generation of early humans. By the style of the leather shoe I would assume it was meant for long-range walking. What surprised me was the fact that it doesn't smell bad just like other shoes made of leather, or maybe humans were cleaner then or our mother nature maybe lol!

Here's a clipping of the news:

by RANDOLPH E. SCHMID, AP Science Writer Randolph E. Schmid, Ap Science Writer – Wed Jun 9, 7:11 pm ET

WASHINGTON – About 5,500 years ago someone in the mountains of Armenia put his best foot forward in what is now the oldest leather shoe ever found.

It'll never be confused with a penny loafer or a track shoe, but the well-preserved footwear was made of a single piece of leather, laced up the front and back, researchers reported Wednesday in PLoS One, a journal of the Public Library of Science.
