Reaching Up Our Goals to Succeed

We all want to succeed in life and we know that the fastest way to it is through education because compared with riches on earth knowledge can’t be stolen. My Mom always tells us that it’s the best thing that she can give to us as inheritance. Well of course there are lands which you can say are good and bankable goods that we can pass on to our children but they can also be corrupted or taken from us. When you study and graduate with degree you can apply with confidence and getting a job is the start of reaching you dreams.

For some getting into business is also one way of educating yourself in another field of learning and when you have mastered your business it can also give you the culmination of your dreams. Success doesn’t have to be standardized because it is measured by the happiness that you gain from your work, business or anything that you want to do. You can have business or invest on something tangible like my friend who buy gold coins to ensure himself that he’ll get a great returns on his capital in the coming years.

We all have different views on reaching up our goals and we have various actions on how we can do it. Most importantly we should do it without stepping on someone else’ feet, we should come out successfully without harming others and with all these in stride we should always thank God for the blessings that He always bestow us.

Teaching Kids to Have Goals in Life

Everyday after reaching home from school our little boy would narrate all activities and happenings they had in school. Today he talked about how they transferred to the third floor of their school and watched the program about national heroes. He was every inch a story teller when he do it and I told my Mom that he could be a good journalist or blogger. He really liked his new school and for three weeks now the excitement is still at its peak. I told him to study hard so he can reach his goals of being an Architect and he wouldn’t have a hard time applying for a job. As his Dad would always say to him and his elder siblings to study and dream for whatever they want to be. It’s good to impart the value of education to your kids so they will have their own goals in life.

My Little Architect

Josh came home telling me that he has good news for me. I was really expecting some good news but I laughed when he told me that his good news is about the holiday and that there will be no classes today. So that’s good news for my little boy and although I know that he love going to school I can’t help but smile that he considered it good news. I was actually checking some extra lighting fixtures when he told me that and upon hearing his news I let him see the beautiful Maxim lighting I surfed upon. He’s interested on all things about houses and its interiors. He wants to be an Architect one day and he’s always drawing houses and all the things that he wants inside his house.

Well he got it from all of us; I and my siblings were all fond of making house plans when we’re only students. We just got busy when we already have jobs and it’s my big brother who continues his flair for drawing and building houses. He became a Civil Engineer and he put up a construction business to concentrate on it rather than spending his time in public office. He likes it better to practice his profession in actual construction of residential and commercial building. I’m really happy with his decision and his eldest will join in the business after few more years because he’s into Civil Engineering studies now.

The Homebody Test

Your Home is Comforting

You believe in putting your needs first, and you avoid depriving yourself.
You are likely to have a home full of your favorite things - from soft pillows to delicious food.

You believe in living in the moment. If you feel like having home baked pie, then you'll have home baked pie!
You could never feel at home in a sterile or unpersonalized house. The best homes feel lived in.

A home should be comforting enough because it's our security and private zone. It's where we mend our broken hearts and dreams when we need to. It's the place where you can be your own self without pretense and much effort. It's where we build our dreams and start our family. In our own home we always like to cook up something good and special not for the visitors but for our own consumption. We like eating and having some picnic around the house or in our patio. We like comfort and enjoyment in our own home because it's where our hearts are.

Imparting the Value of Education

Education is really important and if you have it you can make your way to whatever you want to achieve. It’s more than a treasure to me, it’s more precious than expensive jewels and it can your weapon in facing life. I’m very thankful that despite my Dad’s disability when our eldest was just entering college my Mom made it possible to continue their dream of sending us all to college. My Dad had a stroke in his early fifties but that didn’t stopped them from giving us the education we need.

We all graduated with degree with my parents’ determination and help from God. I shared our experience to inspire those who don’t have enough money to send their kids to school. Hard work and prayers are two important things that we should remember and everything will follow.

Now we’re extending the same principles in life that our parents imparted on us and despite the hardship of earning money we’re still looking forward to seeing our kids reached their dreams. I was thinking of having some investment if the need arises because in four years’ time I’ll have my eldest enter college and as early as now I need to save and put money on sure investment. DH and I can buy gold coins anytime we deemed it right to invest. I’m positive that it’s a good investment and can help us in the near future when we’ll need more finances for my kids’ college education

Click the image to see larger view

The sky was so beautiful that this boy chooses to climb the wires to see the sky and lake more clearly without the obstruction of these wire walls not seeing me having a shot of him. He's my nephew and he's with us on my Mom's birthday at the resort. It was nearly 5pm and the sky and clouds were great at that time. The wires are the resort's boundary from Laguna Lake which is a beautiful site also.

It was a great day for sky watching! To visit more beautiful sky photos just click on the badge above!

Personal Injury Lawyers

I’ve seen many accidents in the past because we live nearby the national road and if there’s a commotion outside it’s usually about the accidents that happen in the road in front of our compound. I always felt nervous whenever I hear sudden breaks of cars and trucks because that would mean an accident. Accidents happen unexpectedly because there are drivers who didn’t know the proper way of driving and of following road regulations. My friend was a victim of drunk driving and he was hit on the road when the driver lost his control of himself. It was a tragic accident and he almost live on the wheel chair for 2 years. He didn’t sue the driver because he thought that his family will suffer if he will be jailed. For me he should have seek the legal services of good lawyers like denver car accident lawyers so the driver will learn his lesson on following the rules of driving.

On other similar cases one should go to their lawyers like denver accident attorneys to help them with injury cases. They provide the best personalized attention and expertise needed to win the case.

:WW - Josh Overlooking Taal Lake

It's his first time to see Taal Lake this close. The last time he was there was when he was just one year old so this is an exciting day for him. He enjoyed the whole day even if it rained most of the day as you can see from the pictures that it's a little blurry. We're there for his Daddy's Discipleship Training. I assisted some of my sister brethren in cooking food for the ministers.

Happy ww even though I'm not wordless :-) Click the badge for more WW entries!

I love coupons and discounts

I always love to shop whenever there are super sale because discounts are plenty. I remember buying my kids’ black shoes last March because my favorite shoe store has discounted tags on various shoe items. We were lucky that Gibi shoes are one of the brands on sale. I got three pairs of shoes for my three kids at 50% off the original price. That’s a happy thing for me same as having buy.com coupons when I purchase my favorite items online like books, children’s items and many more.

I just love shopping with discounts especially when it’s online as I can avail it immediately with the use of my credit card or paypal. Easy and affordable shopping isn’t it?

Custom Polo Shirts

Do you know how a good advertisement and marketing strategy can do to your business? I’ve been involved with helping marketing department on thinking ways to promote our products and services. We thought of giving away free prepaid calls and we’ve printed eye-catching brochures just to inform the public of our products. We’ve also posted banners on areas that’s been frequently visited by foreigners because they’re the ones who really need to call their loved ones abroad. That’s just for us who were into telecommunications but for other businesses who want to get the best of their advertisement I noticed that getting custom polo shirts of your specific style can do some good promotions of your company because you can your logo and company name printed on it.

Commercials on TV is the best form of adverting your goods but it’s way too expensive for smaller businesses so think about of affordable means that will be able to promote company without hurting your budget. You can have quality and stylish embroidered polo shirts and womens polo shirts ordered at Lead Apparel which will look good on your staff when they wear them and will serve as free promo marketing when people will get to see the company logo imprinted on those. Visit them and checked on their affordable quality products that can make your products popular and still remain positive on your marketing budget allocation.

:BM/MYM/RT: Princess' First Birthday

Click the image to enlarge pic

This is a late post due to a busy schedule. Our baby here Princess Kriselle turned one last May 28 and she's already walking around a month before her birthday. Princess is growing up so pretty and I can't help remembering how she resembles her mother Giselle (my niece and goddaughter to my first cousin) when she was a little girl. Giselle was one of my flower girls when I got married and she's as pretty as her daughter.

Anyway we celebrated Princess' birthday happily with plenty of food prepared by her ninongs and ninangs (godparents). We had pasta, crema de fruta, 2 birthday cakes, buco-pandan salad and many more. I gave her a pretty standing doll and I'm glad that she liked it at once though her Mom kept it until she can really play it.
