Customized Bumper Stickers

My sister and I love looking at cars especially if the car has unique accessories that we never see in any other car. She works for a car dealer company so she has more knowledge in car when it comes to brand, parts and accessories. Well who will not be if you’ve worked on the same environment for several years. When we’re on the road on the way to our church we always looked at the car around us and sometimes we see unique bumper sticker that’s really out of the blue meaning not so ordinary.

Well I’m really also fond of car accessories and I want those which are not so commonly used by many people. Of course I want our car to be something like unique in one way or another. My kids’ fondness for stuff toys made us accessorize our car with them and I love it because it made our car cute also. Now I’m searching online for cars online and what caught my attention were the funny customized bumper stickers that says a lot for thinking and laughing. I had a great time reading those lines although they were just samples and if you order from them you’ll have your own unique bumper sticker according to what you want. Cool isn’t it? Just like your car! Well I’m thinking now what will I possibly put if I order my own customized bumper stickers. Got some fresh ideas?

;WW - Cool Waters for a Hot Summer!

BeforeAfter

Feeling hot these days? I've posted this one to ease the hot weather we're experiencing right now (in this part of the globe) This is one of the big resorts in Barangay Pansol, Calamba, Laguna, Philippines where all of my kids had their educational tour. You can see the cool blue waters of the pool before and after it's flocked with swimmers.

It's actually my daughters' field trip but 'lil boy Josh tagged along so I had to ask little dear sister to come as well because DH can't make it. Can't cope with three kids on a field trip and Charles, Gen's classmate was entrusted to me by his parents which makes them four kids under my care.

You also have to consult all members of your family especially your spouse regarding your allocated budget and home plans. It’s got to be fitted to your taste because after all it will be your home sweet home.

Busy with Graduation Committee

I was requested to meet with Ruth’s adviser for a meeting about the change of graduation venue and the final announcement of their graduation date. The date came from the desk of the town’s Superintendent and it falls on the day after Easter Sunday. Graduation will be on April 5 at 10:00am. Well I was really assuming that it will be after the holy week as the announcement was kinda delayed because of the successive tests conducted in all schools. Division, regional and national achievement tests were conducted and these kept the superior busy thus the date declaration just arrived yesterday.

I’m the secretary of the graduation committee and I do all the letter of requests, permission and all other needed correspondence for the school occasion. I didn’t know I would be this busy as some of my tasks are nearing its due dates. I should have anticipated this one but I just accepted the position so I can contribute some help for my daughter’s division. Actually it wouldn’t be hard on us if there are no evacuees of the allotted gymnasium for the school’s yearly graduation while the new stage of the school can’t accommodate the graduates and parents. Anyway I’m glad I’m the boss of my time and I just have to manage my time well.

Good Paying Job Opportunities

I’ve heard that many of my schoolmates and friends from college have tried their luck in some countries and most of them succeeded. Now some of them are living in foreign lands with their families. They thought that working and living there would augment their family’s finances. We all have our own fate and choice on how we’re going to make our life good and worthy to live for depending on our priorities in life. Anyway it’s really tempting to work abroad as there are lots of opportunities there to land a good-paying job like that of job philly where there are thousands of jobs available in health care, media, rehabilitation services, sales and support, IT and many more.

Most often it’s the salary that’s tempting us to try our luck outside our countries. It’s a common point of view that if we work abroad we’ll be richer and more successful in life but we must take all things in consideration before plunging into it. The person who will be working away from his family should be matured enough to accept good and bad things that might happen in his life. There are sacrifices at stake when you’re away from your family. We must always keep in mind that success is measured by happiness and not by money.

:Looking at the Sky on Friday #66

Click the image to see larger view

A total summer look with this kind of view of clear blue sky and white clouds. If you'll look into details you'll observe some trees with dry leaves. This is a shot from the villa we rented last December. Yes it isn't summer when I took the shot but the sun shined so brightly during that month that even my kids' complexion turned brown due to playing in the fields. Not that they're directly under the sun, here in this place even the air can give you a tanned look. Well I stayed inside the conference hall to save my skin from getting darker.

Will you believe me if I tell you guys that with the sun shining so brightly we have to wear jackets and shawls? If you stayed inside the hall you'll feel the cool air of the highlands. We're in Villa Dominga Forest Resort in Indang, Cavite near Tagaytay City.

Happy sky watching! To visit more beautiful sky photos just click on the badge above!

Full of Schedule

I’m so busy right now and my former office mate told me that it looks as if I’m busier now than when I’m working in the office. That’s true because I really can’t find the time sometimes to do everything ahead of time. Well for my online tasks I was able to be two days ahead of time. I also have to look for a new receipt printer for my friend’s usage. She wanted to start a small business complete with everything like in a supermarket that’s why she needs all the list of equipment, gadgets and grocery registers. It’s my dream also to run a small business but my online works wouldn’t allow me to do so because I’m full up to my neck.
