Safe and Sound!

Just returned to work after finishing so many offline tasks and duties. I’m still tired from yesterday’s fire in the neighborhood and I can’t seem to end my heartful thanks to God for keeping us safe from this disastrous fire. The place still smells smoky and there are still many ashes in the air. Faith and prayers can really move mountains, but this time it’s not mountain but fire and God stopped the fire before it reaches our house. Electricity was cut off until 5pm and I was in a real hurry because it’s also my bible study day and I didn’t want to miss it. A neighbor taking up nursing was asking me to help her in her assignment on diseases and cure like heart disease transplant, digestive problems, herpes simplex treatment, and many more. Actually I have a compilation on that subject as I used to do some research work for my SIL and I’ll just lend it to her.

:WW - Sisters at the Camp

Click images to get larger view!

These are some of my sisters in our church and we had fun posing here during our lunch break while our kids are getting ready for their choir presentation. We had a fulfilling 4-day fellowship camp meeting service at Villa Dominga Resort in Indang, Cavite. The weather was so cool because it's beside Tagaytay City and it made us wear layer of clothes at night. For me a cotton jacket is not enough so I brought along my thick cardigans for extra protection from cold.

I have other entry of the ministers' pic at the camp here!

Happy WW visit more entries -> here.

A Relaxing Thought on a Hot Afternoon!

Weather these days is unpredictable. My Mom told me when I was young to have a careful watch of the weather for the first twelve days of January as it would certainly be the weather for the twelve months of the year. Each day represents a month and that will start with January 1 for the month of January, January 2 for February and so on. Well I used to believe this one when I was young but now that I’m matured enough I take it as just a guess from the older generation, maybe true or not. Well with global warming happening in our planet no one can really deny if it will rain on summer days.

As this day has given our town a good welcoming sunshine I’m beginning to think of a vacation in one of the beautiful resorts like myrtle beach hotels oceanfront because it’s good to savor the fresh air of the ocean breeze when it’s hot. Anyway with my current workload now I know that it will not possible now. In the next couple of months that would be possible but I’ll have to save some bucks for it. Just some relaxing thoughts!

Just the Simple Car For Us

We’re still using my brother’s car every time we need a car for attending church service or for family’s activities and travel. We just maintain and look for parts that needed repair so the car will be as maintained as our former car. The car was a pre-owned car and bought just recently so we really expect some minor repairs and maintenance. Actually we’re looking for some car parts to replace a small part in the car and I saw some online shops for parts. Some sells for the parts we need and some sites caters only for the beautiful and model cars like Ferrari parts, Lamborghini and other hot cars. Well they are for me since we only have the simple ordinary car in our garage.

Bonding Day with the Kids

We spent the whole Saturday afternoon in the mall to celebrate partly Gen’s 11th birthday because that would fall tomorrow which is a school day. They asked me to let them play in Tom’s World and since they have hundreds of tickets earned they brought it for some goods exchange. It’s my way also of making the day happy for them as we decided not to join their educational tour as we’re saving up for Ruth and Josh’ private schooling next year, Josh in elementary and Ruth in high school. We also decided to opt for this year’s field trip as they’ve joined for two years already and have already gone to the scheduled places in this year’s field trip. Since it’s a repetition we thought it practical to join next year if the trips would be new to them.

After the 2-hour stay and playing at Tom’s World we rounded up the stores in the mall looking for Gen’s birthday clothes but Gen (as usual) didn’t want any of the blouses in the stores. She didn’t want those ruffled and flairy blouses as she only want the simple ones. We dined at Greenwich and the kids enjoyed the Hawaiian pizza, pizza fries and spaghetti. We ended our malling with grocering for our supply, kids’ foodie and Gen’s birthday food tomorrow. Will post pics later!

Life Insurance Leads

My cousin works for an insurance firm and as we’re talking about our particular work she told me that nowadays it’s hard to get a client. She usually gets a client to insure themselves when they have businesses or the above average families. For the working class and those receiving minimum salaries and a little higher than minimum they content themselves with the mandated social security insurance which is not so much to expect. Since my cousin has been in the business for several years already she copes with the latest low market with her skills and experience. She still reaches her quota even in these days of economic crisis. Good for her as I also know that people get life insurance leads online now because it’s better to research and compare insurance quotes in the comfort of your home via online surfing.

My Focus is Mostly Inward

Your Focus is Inward

You prefer to spend most of your time alone. Other people tax your reserves.
You appreciate and enjoy your own company. You can always find a way to entertain yourself.

You don't believe in being bored. In fact, you don't think it's even possible.
With so many ideas, books, and places to explore, you are never lonely - even if you're all by yourself.

Actually I'm not a loner as I enjoy the company of others most of the time, it's just that I also enjoy being alone as I can do many things if I'll be given my own time without interference. My personality is a combination of outward and inward lol! Want to see if your focus is inward or outward?

Stop Your Problems with Math

I grew up with the family of teachers which include my Mom, plenty of my Aunties and my cousins. With this environment I grew up with I know how hard it is to impart knowledge to students with different levels of intelligence, different communities lived with and various status in life. Teachers were experienced to balance students whether they are the top ones or the least witty. My Mom used to teach my neighbors for almost free tutorial just to make them knowledgeable in basic education which are reading, writing and mathematics. Of all the three main subjects I find Math to be the hardest on most students. There are few students though that really excels in this subject but majority just can’t get over the hardship of solving problems. Most of them find Math a tough subject to deal with and badly needed a Math Help to understand the concept of Mathematics.

Affordable Moving Out and Portable Storage

Moving to another place is both an exciting and tiring experience. There are many reasons for moving out like finding a better place to live, a better community perhaps, having a new job which provides better opportunities or just wanting to have a different, fresher environment or a change of life. All these require packing, unpacking, inventory and a lot of tiring works plus a good deal of money to pay for the trucks that will carry them all. What if you only want them pack ahead of time and will move at a later date. Well if this is your worry now there are better things that will make your moving a nicer activity than you expected it to be. My Auntie has this problem a year ago and storage Minneapolis helped her go on with moving with comfort and affordability by means of Smartbox. You can have their smaller boxes for portable storage or you can have them pickup their own container for storage at their own facility. When moving out it’s a better option as they’re more affordable than renting a truck and with the convenience of their smart boxes.

This is really a better option of moving to another location where it usually required a costly rental and tiring packing and unpacking. Their mobile storage containers can hold a room and smaller boxes can also be used for a more flexible sorted things. They will be delivered to your home and you’ll only pay for the ones that you used because they will refund the unused and empty boxes, great isn’t it! That’s why my friend searched for storage st. paul when she decided to shift to another job and changed her house location. It was a good move for her and she never complained of anything when she transferred. It was a fun move out and a good travel too. Smartbox’s state of the art way of moving is not only convenient but economical too!

:Looking at the Sky on Friday #58

Click the image to see larger view

I'm really fond of sky watching and I'm so glad that I was able to catch some of the beautiful formation of clouds in my digicam. I actually have a big folder full of sky shots and wherever I go I make sure that I have a shot of the sky in every place I go. Clouds differ from where you choose to take your shot and it changes its formation for few minutes. I remember loving one scenic view of the sky and another 15 minutes it was gone, I learned my lesson so when I found a good sky shot I fumble as fast as I can for my cam.

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

Fast Result Search

Nowadays people are getting accustomed to convenience shopping and that pertains to shopping in the comfort of their homes free from sore feet and time consuming search for the things they want. It’s also the reason why most of the business especially those who sells products and services advertise through internet. It’s the most effective form of marketing and advertising where people from all walks of life can afford to search and shop online. Online information is really the best source of information when it comes to books, clothes, appliances, gadgets, electronics, business and almost all of the things we need. The best benefit about having them online is the availability of the information when you need it, fast and accurate. This generation has a lot to thank for with modern technology and communications.

You can click the map of Atlanta, GA and you can search businesses you need and every establishment listed in their sites.

The company accepts listing of the town’s businesses and index them as per their address and phone numbers just the things you needed most in searching for stores, shops and business. They’re listing it for free so any business can go to them when they want their establishment listed for people local online search.

Imagine clicking Buffalo, NY and getting fast results when you want some repair shops for your car, homes or appliances. It’s great living in community with access like these and you can avail this with justclicklocal.com

I read some testimonials on how great this service is and most have been so relieve with finding the right shops for their emergency needs like a towing service for the car that broke down or some emergency needs that requires fast and good results. I even read one man’s story of finding 20 results compared with 3 in the regular phone book. It’s really good finding convenience searches through online like clicking St. Louis, MO in the map and finding the right shops for your needs in the fastest possible time ever. Well, in this time and age everything must be fast and accurate.
