Looking Forward to Summer Vacation

Time flies so fast and the first month of the year is running so fast it’s almost the middle of the month. My office mates and I were always talking how fast time is because you’ll be amazed at how the days gone by and few days after now it will be the end of the month. What I’m looking forward now is the most favorite vacation of all which is the summer vacation. This school and summer break is the longest vacation for students in a year so we’re doing all efforts to enjoy being together with the kids. 

I would again love to spend some days in Montalban where we get the best weather and nature while not being far from the city. I would just see to it that I have my prepaid broadband on the go so I’ll stay connected while away from my home internet. I also promise myself to buy a new camera and laptop bag like the northface bookbags I saw recently. I need a tough bag for my precious gadgets and working tool so I want high quality bag which I can only get from known brands. I always want my things organized so I’ll look for something neat and simple but high in quality.

Printing Store in Our Community

I’m so glad that my kids are on their holiday vacation and they will come back to schooling next Monday. It will be a relaxing break for me as I don’t have to wake up so early at dawn to cook and prepare their food for breakfast and lunch. On the other hand I feel like vacationing also but it’s only a wish as we have office work as early as the 2nd day of the coming year. Anyway school break means rest from school activities which always require numerous projects and printing requirements. 

We have our own printer but for volume of printing needs we give it to our favorite printing store where they give us good discounts on all our print orders. They also accept business cards, brochures, banners, cheap label printing, photo printing and a lot more. One good thing about the store is the proximity from our house because they’re just one block away from us just like neighbors. The owner of the store has become friends with my hubby and often he gives us lesser price than others that’s why we always go to him whenever my two big girls needs volume of print jobs done.

Guide in Home Design and Construction

Designing and building a house takes a lot of knowledge, skills and experience. My brother finds his way into establishing his own construction business when he realized that his flair and knowledge for building houses is more rewarding than staying in his corporate job. He has to choose between his two jobs because when his projects demands more than part-time supervision. God has blessed him with his choice and all throughout the years that he’s spent running his construction business projects keeps on coming in. 

Construction business is not an easy job because you will have to take into details everything that has to be done to ensure that the house you build has the specific design right to your client’s needs and of good structural quality.

Since you can’t estimate the coming weather and natural disaster you should also come up with contingency plan. All of these things should be part of the whole planning in order to come up with the final building estimated cost estimate. 

When it comes to interior works of the house which comes in the final stage of the construction some engineers finds it better to find contractor for some of the facilities involving plumbing, electrical, painting and bathroom works. Usually they look for the professional experts to do the job for them and arrange a contract work that will cover the entire project. When it comes to bathroom fixtures and works the question of  how to find a bathroom contractor can be answered by looking for a company that has the capabilities of providing wide variety of bathroom fixtures that you can choose from.

Keeping Up with Home Management and Renovation

House management is quite a tasking job especially if you have a huge area where you have to clean, maintain and ensure that everything is in order and conditioned to function properly. Since I’m working full time in office I only get to work on the chores on my week rest day and on weekends. I’m just lucky that my husband helps me a lot in proper care and cleaning of the house when he’s not in school. 

We decided years ago to let go of our helper as the kids are getting bigger and there’s no need to take care of toddlers. I can do everything when I have free time and when it comes to household chores I know I can do it as good as the helpers so there’s really no need to hire one. As there are appliances in the house that lets you do chores with ease we coped up pretty well except that sometimes we really get tired after a long day’s work in office. 

Anyway part of my house management is not only on cleaning and maintaining the house but on checking if there things that need repairs, replacement or renovation. Last year we decided to replace our flooring which was devastated by the big floods that came over the town. We had a hard time deciding the kind of flooring we should install as replacement but when we thought of the time and the work involved if we will have tiles we decided on having vinyl instead. It’s easier to install vinyl and it doesn’t require much work plus it’s very durable. 

Well choosing the right flooring for your home need some kind of planning and studying before taking a plunge because you have to know your requirement, your lifestyle and your budget also. You also need a good site like http://www.flooringamericawnc.com/ who can offer you with wide variety of flooring options to choose from.

Benefits of Having Health Card

Yearly we have to undergo annual physical examination as requirement of the company to ensure that employees are healthy and fit to work. Since we have health cards all we have to do is go to accredited clinics and all checkups and examinations are free. It’s one kind of benefit that really helps the employees especially that medical checkups and treatment are very expensive these days. 

Anyway annual physical exams include blood pressure test, eye examination, weight and height checkup, complete physical examination, blood tests, urinalysis, fecalysis, examinations using xray and ecg machines for men and women above 35 years and papsmear for women starting 35 years of age. 

I was happy that I’ve passed all tests with normal findings despite having some excess pounds. The examining doctor just advised me of how I can manage my weight and how I can lose some weight through healthy meals, water therapy and plenty of exercise. Actually even before the APE I was following those rules but these days I was so stressed with office moving out that I was lagging behind my exercise schedule.

Influx of Students in Public Schools

I learned through my church mates that public high school in their area has reached over the maximum capacity it can accommodate to teach properly. Its normal capacity has two class shifts in a day which schedules students in the morning and afternoon shift. They usually has 60 students in one class and this number is only normal to teachers. But now due to economic crisis there’s an influx of students from private schools who transferred in public schools. 

Reality sets in that some families has decreased their standard of living due to unemployment and hardship in looking for a decent job. Because of this parents don’t have a choice but to seek for a way that their kids can continue studying even without money to pay for tuition fees. Public school management is not allowed to reject enrollees from entering their schools which resulted in 100 students in every class. 

Now bigger problems arise with greater number of students in one class because there will be demands for more classroom chairs, text books and most important of all the teachers that will impart knowledge to them. I know that this situation has been escalated to the proper agency and I hope that they will do some smart solutions in bringing up good education not only to those who can afford to pay but to those who can’t as well.

Focusing on Healthy Lifestyle Again

My friends and I are into healthy lifestyle and habits and we promised ourselves that we’re going to be more disciplined this coming year. One of the things that we should be more focused is getting the right exercise and with it came the suggestion of one that we try out yoga for a change and buy yoga equipment next month to start the unique kind of exercise. Well I will try it of course even if I’m more comfortable with my old and tested cardio workout, zumba and tae-bo. 

Last year I was on a one-hour daily exercise and workout which improved my health but I gradually stopped due to busy schedule. Hope I will be forced to get back into the groove again and start the regular workout exercises again. Of course it will be matched with proper and healthy diet meals to be more effective. Last year I lost 1 kilo in a month so I’m pretty positive that it will work on me again.

Learning and Loving Music

Education doesn’t end in learning academic subjects only because there are more things that you can learn to make your life exciting and meaningful. This is what I always imply to my kids to teach them the value of education not just in standard school but on other course of learning like cooking, sewing, arts, sports, crafts, writing and music. Not everything you need to know can be learned from regular school so you have to aim for those other learning experiences that will teach you not just your own value but of your skills and talents. 

Every time there’s an opportunity to learn how to play musical instruments I enroll all my kids to piano lessons for my two big girls and drums for my little boy. As music runs in our family they have flair for learning various musical instruments and they’re loving every minute of their stay in music school. I was amazed at how fast they learn that even if it was just a month’s study my daughter now plays some beautiful pieces that she studied and played on her own. 

I was so happy about it and promised her that I’ll enroll her again on guitar lessons next time. Now she’s been talking about some guitar accessories they need in school which she found in Bigsby at musicians friend. She’s been visiting the site already and found some nice ones to buy. Anyway she’s so engrossed in searching for some nice music pieces to be played on piano that she forgot to ask me to buy it for her. Well it’s not everyday that I see such enthusiasm and I admire her attitude.
