Fine Wines

I remember having plenty of wines during December holidays and all came from different managers that I know from our clients and providers in telco business. I was given fine wines by one country manager whose been so kind to me and some wines from friends who especially chose the wine with 7.5% alcohol or less content for me to be able to drink it. I’m not really a wine drinker with high alcohol content so they really made some effort to buy a different wine for me. That’s when I searched for different wines available in the market. I browsed many sites until I came upon Sokolin which was known as the renowned international wine retailer and offers wide variety of premier wine. You can ask for advices regarding the wine that must be used for certain occasions and how it can be arrange with them. 

Visit their site and see their finest rare wines or you can choose from among their extensive selection of wines in different color, price, availability, vintage, color, format, producer, country, region, price and many others.

Importance of Gutter Covers

Before and After

It’s raining again and I’m glad I had all our windows, roof, gutters and canals checked because it may cause us problems if one of them will malfunction on rainy days. Actually before the summer ends I had our regular maintenance man check all of the things I mentioned because I don’t want to worry about those things when rainy season comes in. My Mom’s apartment was first checked up and the maintenance man found out that leaves are piling up in the gutter. He cleaned the gutter and installed some filters so it will not clog up anymore. It cost us some cash including our own house maintenance but it’s worth our money because if we neglect maintaining them it will cause us further problems on stormy days.

It’s a common problem to many household and sometimes they just can’t get it repaired on summer days. Gutters are very important in making the rain waters flow smoothly from the roof down to canals so it’s imperative that leaves, twigs and some other debris are filtered properly. We should install good quality gutters like gutters Richmond which ensures superior gutter protection by installing LeavesOut Gutter Covers that filters twigs, leaves and tree debris to keep your downspouts clog-free.

Choosing Costumes

As early as now some parents are preparing their smal kids for the trick or treat occasion. I’m wondering why because my little boy usually prepares for that activity before the end of October. We don’t go to the mall to celebrate the activity and we just use his costume for the costume party in his preparatory school. Now that he’s in grade one level I wonder if he’s going to need kids halloween costumes in his new school.

Anyway he has his Robin and Spiderman costumes in his closet but I think he will not use it in school again because he’s using it at home when playing super heroes game. I’ve seen him yesterday looking at Harry Potter’s costume and bookmarked the site together with Ironman costume. Maybe he’s choosing between the two and contemplating when he would ask me.

Review Week

I just finished preparing things for the swimming and will start working on my tasks now. I actually prepared fewer clothes and food because we’ll not bring the kids along. They don’t want to be absent from school because it’s their review week. Next week will be their periodical exams. I value education so much that I instilled in my kids’ mind never to take for granted their learning days. I asked them if they want to come but they refused because it’s hard to ask permission from their school if reasons are not that urgent and they don’t want to miss anything from the review. Teachers usually give related questions from the reviewed questionnaires so it’s an advantage for the students.

Investment Ideas

I’ve been talking to my friend in my kid’s school and she’s so happy that her daughters have stable jobs now. She experienced some financial problems in the past which made her work hard to help her husband who found himself out of job for several months. The husband was able to get freelance job but it was not enough for the schooling kids. Now my friend is so happy that her husband and elder kids have permanent jobs and there’s no need for her work hard. In fact she’s not working for about two years now and she’s only taking care of her family’s needs.

We’re talking our usual friends’ chit chat when I told her about the good value of gold coin and some investment ideas on it. I learned that we can expect higher returns of capital on precious metals like gold, silver and platinum so we might as well think about the good possibilities of buying them. Well the price is too high for us now but who knows? We might have a chance to afford those valuable investments in the future.

Hurrying Up!

I’m hurrying up now because in three hours we’ll be going to our midweek bible study. I’m amazed at how I’ve finished half of my pending tasks that will be due later after midnight. The words are overflowing my mind and I’m pretty confident that I can do marathon blogging. Blessing of outpouring tasks has come again and I was lucky to grab plenty for all of my blogs. I keep telling myself to relax and don’t panic even if I only have today to do all my due tasks because we’re heading off to Calamba to celebrate our Pastor’s birthday in one of the resorts there. I hope before 5 this afternoon I will be able to complete my tasks or I’ll be doing them before our service will drop by here.

TheThought Bubble Test

Your Thoughts Are Emotional

It often seems like you think with your heart instead of your head. Passion is often clouding that brain of yours.
It's hard for you to be aware of your own thoughts, and you find yourself acting before you think things through.

Your thoughts often overwhelm other people, and they sometimes overwhelm you. You tend to say whatever is on your mind.
You react quickly and change your mind just as fast. You're always thinking about something!

I must admit I can be emotional sometimes but I’m not so hard headed at all.  I’m really a heart over head person but I have the ability to balance my feelings and emotions to arrive at the best decision.  I’m a mixed personality person but decision making is very important to me, planning is my forte and contrary to the test I think many times before I do things which is quite the opposite of my dear husband who is an impulse person.  When he thinks it over for a few minutes he’ll do it in the next minute.  I say what I think and what’s on my mind, a very frank person and avoid plastic personality on people.  But the most that this test is right about is that I’m really thinking about something.

Education and Investment

We’ve been lazily conversing about the possible college courses that Ruth will want to take after four years when she finished secondary education. I think she’ll be good in Media Arts, Advertising or IT Courses. I can see in her a good future in those fields but I told her she can take any course that she feels would make her dreams come true. Now she really enjoys the changes in her life when she entered high school. She experience lots of changes and she’s very happy about it. Education is becoming more fun and exciting for her.

I’m glad about that because education is a key to everyone’s success and I would want my kids to finish their studies up to college. That way hubby and I will feel satisfied and secured that our kids will have something in them that no man can steal. It’s like having a sure investment like gold coins that appreciates value throughout the years. You’ll feel secured that no matter what happened you’ll have your returns from your capital. Precious metals increase in values over the years so when you have them in storage or safe bank deposit you’ll soon be reaping profits. That’s the way education and good investment relates to each other.

The Cross

When we have our problems sometimes we think that we're the most unfortunate human in this world.  We pity ourselves and blame others for what happened in our lives.  We asked God why He's giving it all to us and not on others.  We see others as better and luckier with their wealth, beauty, intelligence and success.  This should not be our thinking because we all have our cross to carry.  What differs is how we carry it meaning it's how we carry our problems and what approach are we applying to solve it.  God is testing us in His unique and caring ways that He's giving us some trials to make us stronger and more closer to Him.  Here's one story that I'd like to share with you, hope it will give you some inspirations.

A young man was at the end of his rope, seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer "Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear."

The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room.

Then, open that other door and pick out any cross you wish."

The man was filled with relief and said, "Thank you Lord," and he did as he was told. Upon entering the other room, he saw many crosses; some so large the tops were not visible. Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall.

"I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered. The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you just brought in."

When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more fortunate than you imagined.

YOUR CROSS

Whatever your cross
Whatever your pain
There will always be sunshine
After the rain
Perhaps you may stumble
Perhaps even fall

But God's always there

To help you through it all
