Ooze Tube for Your Garden

My Mom is complaining about her plants few days ago because some has not been showing new branches and flowers. We’re having some renovations last week and because of busy supervision I’ve neglected the three plants located far from where my Mom can easily water the plants. I’ve assigned myself to take care of those plants but I missed the morning and afternoon watering for three days. I tried bringing the plant to its healthy glow and was glad that I was successful. I was thinking if we only have the vegetable and tree Ooze Tube in our house we can be sure that our plants will be healthy always even if we missed watering it due to busy schedule.

When I learned about drip irrigation watering from bluestonegarden.com I was amazed at the wonders it can do to newly plant or drought stricken trees. In fact I was glad to know that this can cover two weeks of irrigation for plants and trees and you can also add fertilizer. Now you don’t have to worry about neglecting your plants when you spend family vacation somewhere. You’ll be sure to go home to a healthy garden everyday. Great savings on water too!

:Looking at the Sky on Friday #51- At EK

Click the image to see larger view

This is a shot in Enchanted Kingdom showing the magical settings there with beautiful buildings and the view of the almost cloudless sky behind the breathtaking Anchor's Away ride. I stayed near the ride and watched Josh' teachers shout and scream at the sideways movement of the ride. I could never ride like that as I'm afraid of heights but I want to watch the riders as they fearlessly sit there. Wish I could but I can't!

Happy sky watching!Visit more of beautiful sky photos here!

High Performance Bookshelf Speakers

I love music and when I’m writing and blogging I want to hear good music for my background. It inspires me to think of good inspirational thoughts when I hear good music. My hubby bought me a new component system last August and it really brings out the finest tune of my selected music, makes me sing a lot these days also. It’s really best if you have quality sound system with high performance bookshelf speakers because you’ll get the most out of your favorite music.

With the current technology we have now we can really choose the best for our sound system like the ones available online in Boston acoustics. They provide and offer a wide variety of quality sound bars, home theater, bookshelf, floor standing, subwoofers, on-wall, in-wall and many other types of speakers. You can be assured that there’s one who can meet your specific requirements of quality sound and the style you need.

Take a look at this 2-way compact speaker system I found among their products. I like its features with OCCM woofer, SWB tweeter, magnaguard video shielding and very beautiful in its black lacquer piano finish cabinet. It doesn’t only bring quality sounds but has very elegant looks as well.

Banking Built for Your Small Business

When I was still working in my previous company I’ve dreamed of having a business of my own. I promised myself that if I ever resign or retire early I’ll start a small business of my own. Now that I’ve decided to retire early and concentrate on looking after my kids I still want a small business but I’m just too busy to start. It takes a lot of effort, money and perseverance to start your own business and you’ll have to arrange everything from license to management up to financial matters. You also have to arrange some matters with the bank as I have done these things in my previous job. I was in charge in dealing with banking matters and it takes a great part of my time.

It’s good to have someone who will help with these things and I’ve learned that MT&T can help with their small business banking services. Their package will help small business owners save time and money with their products and services such as commercial savings, advanced business checking, check card for business and the very convenient web banking. Their banking is definitely built for business which will maximize your desired profit. Check them out for your business’ specific requirements and start your business right.

Stylish and Quality Bathroom Products

One of the most frequented places in our house is our bathrooms and as such we want all the comforts and convenience of such area in our house. We just had some major renovation in our bathroom. We actually almost built another bathroom with everything new in it such as toilets, baths, shower systems, tiles, lavatory and some accessories. With my earnings from my online work I indulged in granting my whims on stylish bathrooms with the help of my brother engineer who helped me chose designs and style.

It’s not that simple to shop for the complete bathroom as it also includes accessories, fixtures, lightings, cabinets and many more. You can really make your bathroom an extension of your good interior skills and I can say it was an exciting job to choose the items for our bathroom. If you really want the widest range of beautiful, stylish and quality bathroom products you can rely upon BetterBathrooms.com to give you a wide array of bathroom suites, furniture, toilet bowls, shower systems and enclosures, taps, mirrors, rails and even Jacuzzi.

I love looking at those bathroom suites on stock clearance sale where you can get as much as 50% off RRP and when you buy bathroom tiles after buying the suite you’ll even get an extra 20%. Well that’s fairly good deal considering you’ll get not only stylish but quality products also. You can’t have that deal on other suppliers and with the current economic crisis today the savings you get from that can be used for other house items you want.

Late Blogging Again!

I planned to write posts and entries after my kids were all geared up for sleeping. Gen and Josh have mild colds and I carefully monitored their medicine intake time so there will be no problem when they sleep. Colds can be irritating and hard on kids when they sleep as they feel they can’t breathe especially the little one who always tell me when he has colds that he can’t and he can’t breathe so what will he do. Now I’m happy that they’re both sleeping soundly and without any sign of colds’ disturbance. I’m just very late now in posting because I suddenly had some chills again. I just don’t know if it really comes from cold weather or I’m just too tired for the day!

My Partner in Night Blogging!

Still wide awake to finish some tasks and anyway I just had more than an hour sleep early this evening when my son asked me to sleep beside him. He asked me to sleep early and I did but I woke up again to do some works online. Anyway hubby just got home an hour before and I still have companion now aside from my favorite coffee beside me. I really love coffee though I minimized my intake from 3 cups a day to one cup only except of course when I work late in the evening and I feel tea will not see me through my sleepy status. If only I have time I would want some brewed coffee like the ones brewed by jura capresso coffee makers. I’m sure I will enjoy my blogging in the night more if I have a coffee maker but on second thought I will be needing a buddy to have coffee with, my hubby is not a coffee drinker so my sister will be the one!

Better Understanding of God’s Word

I’m always looking forward to Sunday and Wednesday because that’s our days for fellowship and midweek bible study. Every week we consumed all our efforts to face daily challenges of life and with it we experience failures, problems and disappointments in life. Attending fellowship and bible study lesson makes us feel blessed, protected and secured in God’s love and in faith that no matter what our God will never leave us nor forsake us. He has redeemed us and after Jesus resurrection He made us all free from the bondage of sins and gave us a new life. Jesus paid it all on the cross.

In these days we can see that people are busy with many things in life rather than their spiritual life which is the most important of all. People tend to prioritize material things instead of the more vital things in this world which is putting God in the center of our lives and reliving Jesus life in these present days. God has given us the Holy Bible to read and explore the things that can also be the answer to all our questions in life. It is God’s words written by the chosen people of God, His disciples. The book contains bible prophecies and great stories which can be a great help for many as reading it can help you find a way on how to live our everyday lives with stories of God’s chosen people and how they live with great faith in our creator.

When Jesus died on the cross and resurrected after three days He has given us a new covenant which has God’s plans for salvation and His promises to us. For those who want to know more of God’s beautiful plans for us and understand the Holy Bible more you can visit this free bible study site at www.ucg.org and learn how to use the holy book in teaching God to our children. The whole family can learn many things such as covenants, tabernacles and how Israel observe their three annual festival seasons. It can also help on how to make our lives better and how we can have a personal relationship with God.

Jen's Birthday!

It's my bestfriend's birthday today and I will not write here how old she is or she might kill me lol! If you want to know her age you can visit her site. JennyL or Bes as we fondly called each other celebrated her birthday today very simply, they had a sumptous lunch yesterday for the whole family and today she had pasta and cake. As she always say birthdays are meant for the young ones and as you grow older celebrations are getting simpler except for the remarkable oldies' birthdays of course such as 50 and 75 years.

I brought along Josh with me and greeted my Bes. After eating we spent the rest of the time talking about our blogs, our friends and how grand we celebrate our birthdays when we're young. We missed those days of early planning and preparing for our birthdays, excited with our visitors and just so happily carefree with the occasion. When you grow old you're always mindful of the time and it always seems that you have to schedule everything.

Anyway after all these years I thank God that Jen and I are still there for each other maybe a lot older than we were in high school days but still the same people who cared for each other. Looks may change, years may add, status may differ but still friendship never change. We're still bestfriends......for life.

Continuing Education Through Online Studies

I heard from my friends in college that some of them took post graduate studies in the leading university in town. Some of them enrolled in management courses and others in some enhancement subjects related to our college course. I also wanted to study further but on a relatively different field of study which is culinary. I’ve always wanted to learn culinary skills in cooking and baking because I love to cook for my family and someday I want to put up my own bakeshop.

Of course all these would have to wait as my schedule is full this time of the year and I have to choose a school near my residence. I really need to sacrifice some of my time if I want to pursue it unlike taking LSAT prep courses which can be done online. It will not require specific time and students need not go anywhere as they can study whenever they want and anytime they’ll be free. That’s a very convenient education.

Rainshowers Again!

After a whole week of very fair weather rain showers are here again filling the whole afternoon with rains. Josh asked me to go out and buy something, though I wanted to please him just like any ordinary day I told him softly that I can’t because of the rains. It’s hard to walk even for some meters only with a child in tow on a rainy afternoon. I just told Josh to watch the rains and as soon as it stopped we’ll go to his favorite store. As we can’t go out that time I immediately opened my new blog and updated it quite a bit. Maybe I’ll spend another week for my new blog before I’ll open it to other viewers.

My Remedy for Tiredness

I’ve been working the whole day through and happy that I’ve accomplished many tasks today both online tasks and my regular household tasks. It’s not that easy to balance managing your blogs and your household that’s why I’m very happy that without any house helper I can do both, of course with lots of support from hubby and my Mom who’s always there for me. Now I’m getting the full grasp of being a work-at-home Mom and I was able to do some adjustments on my time schedule. Like now it’s getting really late and I’m still here in front of my PC doing some visits to my online friends’ sites and advancing some posts for tomorrow.

Sometimes my family asks me where I get my high energy level. I told them that whenever I felt tiredness seeping through my bones I closed my eyes and imagine myself on a beach having some relaxing florida vacation. Of course that’s one of my wishes but a nice vacation in one of the beautiful places here in my country would suffice for me if and when we find time for that as I want my family to be with me.

See the dogs here playing in their playground, looks cute but it's actually a stone playground of dog statues. This is part of Josh educational tour in BioResearch in minizoo. Josh find them nice and petite! I particularly like the slides and swing, so cutie! He even tried to get near and touch if the dogs are really stones. What do you think?
