This is a shot at the northern side of the plantation and here you can see some kids preparing to go inside the hall as it's starting to get super cold. The clouds here seems to be partly hiding behind the trees, feels like you can touch it when you're on top of the trees lol! I'm imagining things again, oh boy I really love watching the sky and the clouds, it has a magnetic effect on me. The sky view at the Villa were really wonderful and I had some good fun times clicking my cam everywhere.

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

Benefits of Using Window Film

I just got home from accompanying my eldest to her entrance examination for secondary level. Yes my daughter Ruth is entering high school and we’ve been making arrangement to enter her into a Christian school. It would be better if they enroll in a Christian school so they will be subjected to strict standards but with teachings of a good Christian. Anyway it was so hot even if we left the house before 8 in the morning. If you don’t have any protection on your head you might get headache because it feels like the sun is aiming down at you. In the past decade exposure to sunshine was a good thing as it’s a source of Vitamin D especially to newborn babies. But now exposure to excessive heat of the sun will be a hazard to your health as Ultraviolet rays was found to give bad effects on people. We need maximum protection to reduce the harmful effects of the sun. We need something like window film los angeles to filter the UV rays of the sun which causes damage to human and properties. If we have window film we can minimize the glare from the windows and controls the early fading of our furniture, furnishings and floors.

It’s not only beneficial to our health and properties but saves us money too because by using the right kind of window film we can save air conditioning costs and maintenance budget for keeping up our house furniture. Having window tinting los angeles on our houses gives us security on natural disasters, accidents and vandalism while giving our houses a different stylish look with the tints. Why endure the sun’s heat and glare while you can get optimum protection from it when you’re at home. Why risk yourself and your home from too much heat and UV rays while you can get optimum protection by getting window tinting products. You’ll save money too.

Better Understanding of the Holy Bible

Having God in the center of your life is the best thing that can happen to you. Following His mighty words and doing what He expects us to do are the kinds of obedience that we should give Him. I’ve been taught that obedience is better than sacrifice and I strongly believe in that. It’s always better to follow His teachings and His words than disobey Him and offer sacrifice like what others are doing. In following God’s words you are assured that you’re taking the right path. He has already sacrificed for us at the cross so we don’t have to do it again.

God wants us to abide by His words and live the life of a good Christian. And what’s the life of a good Christian? It’s not simply that you’re a member of christianity religion and doing your obligations but living your life as God wishes you to live. He doesn’t want a Christian by name but in deeds also. God wants us to be humble and our heart to be open for His teachings for us to live what we learned from His words in the Holy Bible. Let God change our lives and make Him the center of it.

As humans we are all subject to commit mistakes but a true Christian should be submissive to God and repent on our sins so we can come to God for His grace to change our lives. As one of my favorite verse in the Holy Book ‘Seek first the Kingdom of God and all shall be added unto you’. In seeking for His Kingdom we may cross upon persecution but that’s inevitable. When you decide to follow and offer your life to God you should be ready for people who will persecute you for the path you choose to take. The path isn’t a road with bed of roses but at the end of it there’s salvation. Just be strong to fight with a good christian faith and all good things in life will follow. I’m not actually speaking of exceeding financial blessings but of the more important things we need that money can’t buy like peace of mind, spiritual strength, a good Christian life and joy in the spirit.

To help us understand God’s words and teachings we should always read the Holy Bible. It’s the masterpiece of our Creator and He let His chosen people with His inspiration write the Old and New Testament stories, testimonies of God’s works and prophecy. Bible prophecy was written in the Holy Book and it associates the past with the present and gives an insight to our future. The Bible taught us how people in the past suffered and learned from their mistakes.

It’s very important to read the Holy Bible because we can learn a lot from it which we can apply in dealing with our daily lives. To understand more we can visit and read online bible study and understand God’s plan for mankind. It will give us better understanding of the Holy Book and deeper insight of God’s words. It’s a free resource that will help us learn conveniently.

This is a shot from my view across the plantation of banana, coconut and other crops of Villa Dominga Resort. Clouds were starting to darken here even if it's only 2pm in the afternoon. The sky I took the shot across the conference hall where we held our fellowship service last December. The sky looks so dominating here at it covers the whole scope of the trees as a perfect background for them that suddenly turns to dark ones. I made the shot look like a circular dimension of trees and clouds. Oh I just love playing with my cam when I take shots of the sky. It's lovely looking at the sky here because there are no obstacles. The place is free from cables, wires and tall buildings. All we have there are trees, plants and flowers.

Happy sky watching! Visit more beautiful sky photos just click on the logo above!

How to Avoid Heart Diseases and Deadly Sickness

I accompanied my Auntie in her laboratory schedule for ultra sound. She went to the hospital early in the morning and I just followed her after an hour. While waiting for her turn I went upstairs in the male ward to visit my friend’s father who had a mild stroke early dawn. According to my friend her father’s blood pressure risen up to a great level that affects his system and before they knew it he was asking for help. Her father was brought to emergency room and when his condition normalizes to out of danger level he was confined to the ward. With the current temperature now of too much heat in the day and too cold in the morning and night many develop sickness. Actually if you’re pressure is on the high blood side your level can easily rise up which is very dangerous.

Well to avoid high blood pressure and high levels of fat and cholesterol which can cause stroke and heart disease we must not let ourselves be overweight. Obesity can bring several risks on deadly sickness. I don’t want to suffer these diseases that’s why I’m having my healthy diet and slowly returning to my regular exercise regimen to attain my ideal weight. Well for those who can’t do this I’ve heard of bariatric surgery which can solve obesity problems without dieting and exercise. I’m glad I don’t have to go through this surgery because I can lose weight with proper meal plan and exercise.

Anyway my day will not be complete if I hadn't seen these two lovely, cute and pretty babies (hehehe all that adjectives!). You'll agree with me when you see them both! I'm their granny remember!!!

Better Job Location

My niece’ husband resigned from job and applied to a big call center company. He was very happy when he passed the exam and the interview because it was not so easy to enter employment in that company. He was offered a compensation rate and benefits better than his last call center company. He’s excited that he’ll be handling his favorite xbox 360 for his account. It was a good company with good salary and product account but when he learned that he’ll be assigned in a very far place he opt to accept the job when he’s ready.

He just told the management that he can’t start right away to fix some papers with his former employer. The company accepted his reason and told him to come back if everything is clear. He accepted the next job offer that came after that with a good work location and less transportation expenses. Although I highly recommend the first company that he has applied for I understand that he didn’t want to have a far location of work because my niece has just given birth and he might not be always available for her needs.

Her New Phone

I’ve bought DH a new mobile phone for his birthday last week and uploaded our favorite Christian music into his memory card so he can enjoy music anytime. I can see that he’s enjoying his new phone now especially the music. On the other hand my sister had her touch screen mobile phone replaced with a more comfortable unit because she feels the fonts on her phone were a bit too small for easy manipulation. She showed me her new unlocked phone which I also liked upon seeing and has been busy for hours learning its many features. Oh well I think she will replace it again after several months.
