Bridesmaid Gifts

We’ve been chatting about wedding reception and gifts in the house and someone talked about gifts for the sponsors like the bridesmaid gifts. In our own wedding we gave different gifts to principal sponsors and to our three bridesmaids. We only gave giveaways or small keepsakes for all of them, something to remember our wedding as years pass through. Well it’s nice to hear that marrying couples can now order beautiful keepsakes and gifts online.

Get Some Help in Math Subjects

It’s always been our dream to have our children excel in their class and have good grades. Well this can’t be achieved by just wishing because excellence or being good in school requires the child’s patience, abilities, skills and parents’ proper supervision. The children need to have someone to teach them the proper education on their subjects. What if the parent or guardian doesn’t have proper knowledge to give their children Math help, would it be frustrating enough for us then? That should not be the case because there is Math Tutors Online available to help those children who can’t cope with their assignments.

:Looking at the Sky on Friday #71

Click the image to see larger view

A refreshing sight to see. This is my shot of the coconut plantation with beautiful sky and clouds as its majestical background. This is one of my shots at Villa Dominga Forest Resort and I can say it's nice skywatching there because there are no obstruction there - no cables, no wires and no passersby :-). It's Friday again and I'm greeting my friends at Latsof because I didn't participated last week. I was in summer camp meeting from Thursday to Friday last week with my family and church brethren.

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

Intermittent Connection

For the past two weeks we’re having some difficulty in our internet connection thus I’m having a hard time scheduling my kids’ usage in my PC because of my online tasks. I can’t let them use my PC because I have to maximize my time whenever the internet is in good condition. This week I had uninterrupted connection when I’m connected directly to my broadband without the router. I checked my Linksys router for any technical damage but it’s still in perfect condition. Almost everyday our internet fails to give us perfect connection in the morning or at midnight if I’m connected to router and it’s giving me headache as my sister and kids can’t go online. They will have to wait for me to stop or rest before they can use the net.

My friend is also having intermittent connection in her home broadband and she has to go to her internet café located in other area in order to use internet. What’s happening with some internet these days? I also noticed some unscheduled power interruption these past few days. Could it be a premonition of the coming not so peaceful activity next month? Hope not.

TC - Small Animals - Ducks

Thursday Challenge

for fun and learning

"SMALL ANIMALS" (Pets, Insects, Birds,...)

Lazily sitting on the grassWalking and looking for something :-)

Got these four ducks for my entry this week. I've noticed these 4 ducks outside the kitchen of our quarters in our summer camp fellowship. They always go in four, they sit together, they walk together and never missing one duck when they go. They seem to be friends as they never leave each other. The four ducks stayed together the whole day and it made me take a shot on them.

Got another entry here! For more 'small animals' themed photos click the title badge!

Some Summer Plans

Summer brings about fun activities for the family and we have started spending time with the kids with the recent swimming in the cool water of Villa Dominga Resort. The summer breeze and the heat made my kids’ skin look darker now but I told them it’s ok just as long as they enjoyed swimming. I even joked them that it’s an evidence of their fun summer swimming. I’m still looking for some places to go this May for my Mom’s birthday when I came upon Corolla foreclosures of beautiful oceanfront homes. Well that would so nice for those that can afford it because if you own a place like that you’ll enjoy unlimited time in the beachfront.

Now back to my plan, we’re thinking of celebrating Mom’s birthday on a resort as my cousins in the province were requesting too. I’ll consult my brother and sister about this and if plans pushed through we’ll have a refreshing birthday outing for my Mom.

Your Heart Tip#2 - Avoid Over-Using Dairy Products

Well as I've said in my previous post that to avoid heart problems and heart attacks we should avoid food that can be harmful on our body. And one of these foods are the dairy products. Avoid over-using dairy products. Cream and most cheeses are high in cholesterol. Use skim or one percent milk. Much of the appeal of whole milk is simply that you are used to it. After using milk with less butterfat in it, you may find you prefer it. It is less cloying in your throat and, therefore, more refreshing.

Too Much Sun's Heat Can Make You Look Older

This summer is really bringing us too much heat that causes sickness and some skin problems. Over exposure to sun can give your skin irritation and dryness which will certainly lead to early skin aging. I know some farmers in our province looks older than their real age because their job exposes them daily in the sun. Well I know that some of them really don’t want to look older but they can’t avoid it. It made me think that they should use some moisturizers or age spot cream to make them look younger or at least protect their skin from harmful effects of having job in the field.

Maybe that’s the same reason that when I see some of my classmate in my first grader in the province they look so much older than me especially those who work in the rice field or plantation. Those that take care of their skin properly are less affected by the early aging of the skin. Employees working inside the offices are luckier because they’re not exposed to sun while working.

Your Heart Tip#1-Avoid Fried Foods

I've heard many cases of heart problems these days especially heart attacks and the sudden increase in the fluctuation of blood pressure which they call as high blood pressure. Some of it can be due to too much heat in this summer season, overfatigue, vices or sometimes in the food that we eat. I learned that for those prone to the mentioned sickness they should avoid fried foods. They are high in fat and calories.

When shopping for food look for products with a low percentage of saturated fat. It's very important to avoid it. It is better to substitute products that have unsaturated fats in them. Also totally avoid products that contain or are fried in palm oil or coconut oil. Although these oils don't actually have cholesterol in them, they prompt your body to produce cholesterol. Be sure to read the labels on everything so you'll know what to buy and what to avoid. Prevention is better than being hospitalized.

All You Need Is Faith

It is tested time and again that faith is the strongest thing that can make mountains move. It can make all things possible we only have to believe it can happen. It's the only weapon we had when the head of our second child Gen (who was barely two years old then) enlarged and was believed to develop hydrocephalus. We didn't look to anyone but God only and His merciful grace that He will not let our child be afflicted with that sickness. The whole church had a group prayers in each location we reside and after three days the swelling of the head was gone. No treatment, no medicine but just prayers, faith and trust to God. It's a miracle that I'll forever share to everyone because in those moments of anxiety and fear God proved His love on us. In life all you need is faith in God and He'll provide. Praises to Him.

Getting Healthier!

I dropped by big brother house to inquire about his two sons’ graduation and some activities. Mom wanted to know about his eldest son Raphael’s entrance exam in Mapua and stories on their travel to provinces. My sis and I are living in one house so she always want to be updated with big brother’s family whereabouts because he’s a little far from where we live, well not really far – just 10 minutes walk actually! Being only three siblings we want to know everything about each other and we grew up like that.

Anyway I’m glad I dropped because I learned about something good for the body. Big bro and SIL is into colon cleansing and natural means of getting off unwanted pounds and I saw the fast results in my brother’s stomach. He looks very healthy too. What’s good about it are the natural and safe ingredients. Will tell it when I tried it myself.
