:Looking at the Sky on Friday #93: Mall Sunset

This is a shot from the mall's parking space last Tuesday when we dropped by to buy our little boy his own pick of toys for his 7th birthday.  We went to Twiddledee in Evet Ortigas and let Josh choose from among the toys there. We arrived at around 5pm and this view greeted us, glad I've brought my cam with me even if my battery is giving me low signals.  I love the small splashes of yellow orange on the grey clouds. 

I love sky watching wherever my cam takes me. It makes me very thankful of God's wonderful creations.  Visit more beautiful sky photos just click on the badge above!

The Back to School Test

You Are an Average Achiever

You are fairly driven, but the big win always seems a bit beyond your reach. You lack intense passion.

You are most likely to succeed if you are working with other talented people. You thrive on a team.

Your greatest skill is organization. You are good at laying out a plan and making sure it gets followed.

Your biggest stumbling block in life is your lack of self confidence. You are a lot more capable than you give yourself credit for.

You're so thankful for everything in your life. It's hard for you to pick just one thing.

That's me when I was young, I could have made it more if I'm not that shy.  Well it didn't last for long and after my first job I was ready to face any challenge that came my way.  Since I've overcome my shy attitude I excelled in my jobs and for me that can be called success because I was able to conquer my fears.  I did it with perseverance and a lot of discipline.  If there's one thing that my boss can speak best of me it's my being trustworthy and patience in work.

Roofing and Slating

I’ve attended the homeroom meeting of my eldest kid and saw my brother and SIL on the way out. I went with them when brother visited his residential project in the village. I saw how the construction has improved a lot since I last saw it and it looks like a big duplex house with two gates only. I was asking my brother if he has used slate roofing on his house project because the roofing of the house looks very durable. I’ve noticed that it looks very different from the other houses around the village. 

Every time I see my brother’s project I’m always attracted at the new designs and styles he’s applying in all his projects. Sometimes I go with him when he visits the big warehouse for construction supplies like electrical, lighting, plumbing, tiles and bathroom fixtures. Of course I always searched for discounted tiles as we’re planning to have our flooring replaced this year. I was looking at the selection of slate tile and I’m beginning to like it.

I saw some attractive designs and I’m making a detailed budget for it. Glad I’ve found Virginia Slate Company which offers a complete line of quality slate tiles at competitive prices. They have professional staff that customizes each order and a reliable customer service that will attend to all inquiries.
