:Looking at the Sky on Friday #43-Airforce

These pictures were taken this day while we're touring the RP77 planes on Philippine Airforce Museum, the weather is fast changing from very clear sky an hour ago (shot1) to a bit cloudy! (shot2). As we're having educational tour we're praying that even if a storm is brewing up we're just asking for this day to have a good weather for the kids. Luckily after this shot the sky cleared up and gave us a good day to spend in the rest of the field trip.

Happy Friday! Visit more of beautiful sky photos here!

New Approach in Losing Weight

Two months after leaving the corporate world and choosing to enter the work-at-home community I was now few pounds heavier. It didn’t help that it’s ok for my hubby for me to gain weight because it gave me a thought that it’s not that bad after all. But when I suddenly felt sick and worried that excess pounds will give me abnormalities in my system I started assessing myself. Actually I’ve seen it coming as I developed the habit of eating late at night after I’ve finished my offline and online tasks and hubby was there to dine with me. His job requires him to be at the closing hour so it’s always late dinner for him. We love eating together but the time seems to be not perfect for me as it’s easy to gain pounds when all you have to do after dinner is watch TV and sleep.

I know I’m not that obese enough to take diet pills because I’m not so sure if my body will react positively. But I’d like to try different diet strategy like diet plan menu or what the Austin Wellness Clinic is offering on their site like weight loss austin. They have many options on how you can lose some weight without taking diet pills. That’s new to me and seems very interesting too!

:WW - Toy Cars

Just like most boys of his age Josh loves toy cars be it miniature, plastic, metal or as big as the toys in the picture which are easily available in the malls or game arcades. You can see him sitting here in the batman car, old fashioned white car, white motorcycle and the blue motorcycle car which we rented for him in SM North Edsa mall, you can rent this one for P35 for 5 minutes. He had so much fun as he gained some friends too. He rode for three rounds, one round more than his friends.

Happy wordless. Visit more entries -> here.

Houston Retirement Living

We all love our old folks and we want the best for them when they grow old. Actually I never imagined myself away from my Mom as I felt so bad several years ago when we were separated to my Mom’s mother when we transferred and settled to my father’s hometown. I told myself that I will never go far from my Mom especially with her conditions now. She’s not sick, she only has arthritis but I want her to enjoy my kids while she still has the strength to play with them especially with my son Josh who was so fond of her. Old folks always want to be loved and if you give them extra care and attention they feel contented with their lives.

Now on a different situation on some other families who can’t take care of their folks by themselves there’s a place where you can entrust them to be safe and protected. When you visit online you’ll find retirement communities Houston where the old folks, seniors and retirees joined themselves sharing their own life stories in one place. Here they won’t feel lonely that their family has left or entrusted them to others. They will enjoy the life of houston senior living where they can get the best care and professional service they deserve in their golden age.

If you’re in Texas you’ll find many wonderful places that you’ll wish you’ll settle for life such as friendly neighbors and of course interesting places like houston retirement living where services are offered on a 24-hour, live-in basis or per hour. It actually caters to what we need specifically doing plenty of services such as personal care, home monitoring, household chores, companionship, medication, respite care, meal preparation and many others.

Two Important Books

It's Tuesday once again it's time for our Heads Or Tails again....

The theme/prompt for THIS week, September 22, is: HEADS - "Book" Use any form of the word "Book" in any kind of post.

These books are our family's favorite books which has its own particular use and benefits. We're a family of good readers from Granny (My Mom) to Little Kids. Just give or lend us an interesting book and we're all up to it. We passed it on until everyone finished reading it, of course if we share the same interest on the kind of book.

These two very important books are medical guide book and the Holy Bible. For physical sickness or when my kids gets ordinary sickness my Mom would read her medical book for some guidelines or first aid treatment that can be administered at home before rushing to doctor. Now for spiritual enlightenment and thirst for God's word we turn to Holy Bible for the complete guidelines in living this life. It's a complete guide on living as it shows the life of Jesus and chosen people which we can relate our lives in this present time. While the medical book can heal our body physically the Holy Bible can heal our spirits and lead us into a life centered to God.

Get Noticed!

Having many sites to maintain and update is a lot tasking and requires a lot of time if you really want to stay on a good traffic level. My own idea of having many visitors is to write an interesting post and visit multiple sites also. I’ve been visiting hundreds of sites daily and I enjoy it because I got to read tips, interesting topics, ideas and view great photos.

While enjoying the visits I also run out of time for other online tasks I do so I feel I should balance my time with blog hopping and posting entries on my sites. After all my write ups is very important too as it will somehow give me a way to be searched by others. That’s what I’m doing when I’m blogging but now I learned that you can submit your site to a website directory and get noticed by major search engines. Wow this should help my sites a lot! Now there’s a way for me to get my sites easily searched and find by others.

Five of My Favorite Drinks

Here are five of my favorite drinks:

1. Water
2. Coffee with milk and sweetener, I also love Cappuchino and Hazelnut flavors
3. Fruit Shakes - Mango, Banana, Papaya, Melon (all natural)
4. Four Seasons
5. Young Coconut Juice (Buco fruit)

I think #3 and #5 are the best because of the health benefits you can derive from them, although of course water is the most healing drink as water therapy heals many sickness. Coffee is not that healthy but I combined it with milk so that lessens my guilt feelings lol! On the other hand a canned four seasons juice drink from Del Monte or Dole is my favorite drink to carry wherever I go.

It's my first time to join here.

Overworked

I intended to work until midnight yesterday but my body resisted as when I’m about to resume working after feeding my kids my body chilled and it’s a sign for me to stop working and rest. I don’t usually get sick as my body resistance is very strong according to my doctor but when I overtired myself my body will chill. I just don’t know why I’m like that but whenever that happens I forced myself to rest no matter what and that’s what I did last night even though I’ve tons of writing tasks to do.

Well maybe this is also a sign that I take some vacation now as I’m really having a pressured work schedule. These past few weeks I noticed that I’m hopping from one task to another fitting my schedule in my kids’ school activities, blogging, household chores and plenty of errands. I’m beginning to believe that working-at-home is much more tasking than working in an office but I will not exchange my present situation for the world as I love being a WAHM. Sometimes I just imagine myself booked at some nice place like Destin FL hotels and enjoying a vacation by the beach. Actually it’s not a beach vacation that my hubby is planning right now but a few days rest in the coolest place in our country.

:Looking at the Sky on Friday #42

These are the cloud formation when we passed by Libis roads in Quezon City on our way to church sunday service. My daughter told me that the clouds on the left side looks like a giant walking and looking down at the buildings and houses and almost touching the electrical wirings. What an imagination lol! It could have been a cartoon story :-) Well that's skywatching and a lot of imagination!

Happy Friday! Visit more of beautiful sky photos here!

A Blessing From God

We were talking about our car yesterday as it really needs some enhancement and since I already have all the important documents of the car I can get on with whatever we have in mind. Hubby and I are planning for some body paint and overall checkup before we use it on December. Our destination will be far and all vehicles should be in perfect running condition to save us from trouble. Aside from body paint we’re looking at some car accessories to at least have some style in the interior look. Having a car is really quite expensive but our car is very useful to us in getting to church every Sunday and in every out-of-town fellowship we have from time to time. I believe also that this second car we have is a blessing from God to be used for ministerial works as well as family needs.
