Bad Effects of Asbestos

I really felt sad and angry every time I hear stories of people who were victims of Mesothelioma Cancer because I thought that it should be prevented if the owner of industries using asbestos have been careful enough. I know that those owners know the risks of using asbestos but somehow they’ve been irresponsible with their obligations to their staff to secure safety in their working environment.

For those who didn’t know the cause of this deadly cancer it is caused by exposure to asbestos and it happened on manufacturing industries that uses the formerly known wonder mineral. It has grown so popular because of its resistance to heat, electrical and chemical damage. Many found its great uses in building houses, manufacturing and many more. Anyway several years ago the government has banned its use and all we got now are the people who were exposed and suffering now from lung or mesothelioma cancer. Hope the manufacturers will be responsible in helping the victims in their treatment.

Wishing for a Change in Work Location

I’m lucky to have a husband that never drinks and never smokes cigars like cohiba because it can be dangerous to his health. With the kind of job he has its imperative to follow a healthy meal plan. He always arrive home late everyday because the store he’s working at wants him to be there at the closing time which is two to three hours past his regular time. The store closes at 10 in the evening if they’re located inside the mall unlike if they’re on their own site which closes around 7pm.

How I wish that he would be assigned to a near branch that closes earlier than his current branch. Actually there’s a branch just around 20 minutes drive from the house but he never asks the personnel to assign him unlike his office mate who directly asked the management to assign him on that branch. Luckily until now it wasn’t given to the one who requested. Hopefully their branch will start the renovation and reassign him to other branch much nearer so he can have more time with us especially the kids. Wishes!

:Looking at the Sky on Friday #69

This is the view from my MIL's house in Montalban, the area is just across them. You'll notice that I posted almost similar shots but it's actually a sequence of shots. First I took a complete shot but when I noticed the cables on the left I took another shot but I think the first shot is a lot better than the 2nd one because the sky sight is complete while the 2nd one was cut off because of protruding wires. Anyway both shots were able to capture the beauty of the sunset sky.

First Things First

DH is working in an appliance store and every time there are new gadgets or high technology equipment on sale he will update me about that. Although we can’t buy those expensive appliances we just want discussing them like this new Rackmount LCD with KVM switch which is just too good for one’s taste. Anyway I still have many things in line to purchase in time but for now we’re saving for our youngest and eldest kids’ entry to primary and secondary education, respectively.

The tuition fee for private schooling nowadays is something to save money for because they are now having some increase due maybe to increase in electricity or they need it for maintenance of their school. After the holy week enrollment will start and hopefully I can enroll my two kids as early as possible. For those who can’t afford whole year cash payment they can pay in semestral, quarterly or monthly intervals. I want the semestral payment mode and since enrollees will be accepted only next month I’ve paid for reservation fee to secure their slots in school.

:WW -Knock Knock!

Knock! Knock! Josh was probably puzzled what could be inside the large white shells. He knocked to see if there's some little creature inside. We've been to JennyL's house and this is their garden where the little boy here wants to roam and play around. He's really very inquisitive at times and asks questions that will make your nose bleed lol! He's going to be at the primary school next school year and we're all waiting to see what this little charmer will be up to.

Looks Cute on My Little Boy

Two weeks before Josh graduation I asked my niece who is always frequenting the mall to look for a necktie that will suit Josh small height. I just draw a necktie with the color and design I want and my niece went to her afternoon cooling off visit to the nearest mall and look in the mens ties section of Ever Dept. Store and compared my design with available neck ties there. When she brought me her purchase I was glad that it’s almost the same as my drawing. DH adjusted it to Josh’ height and it looked very cute on Josh during the ceremony.

It’s not the first time for my little boy to wear such ties but in their church choir they just borrowed neck ties of their fathers and adjust it so the effect is not that perfect. With this one especially purchased for Josh it looked so cute even though I picked a dark color. Actually the people outside the school’s gate called him engineer and congressman lol!

:MYM - Wild Sunflowers

I've taken the shot at Villa Dominga Resort in Indang, Cavite where sprawling wild sunflowers are just growing up in one corner of the villa. I'm just amazed of how good the soil is in that part of Cavite because even if the flowers are not tended and cared for everyday they just grow up like grass. Sad thing is the bees and other insects sometimes ruin the petals of these lovely sun yellow blooms. I love sunflowers because they so vivid in color and when you see them in big group like this you'll feel like the place is full of sun with those beautiful golden yellow blooms opening up their petals for people to realize the wonderful creation of God!

Family Vacation Getaway

School vacation is just around the corner and many of my friends are planning up their vacation as early as now. Some will go to their provinces but others will go to some beach resorts of their choice. It’s the common itinerary of the friends I have because beach vacation can really relax and bring your energies back again. Just imagine a week of stay in the beautiful cottage fronting the beach side with the cool breeze of the ocean on your hair hmmm.. it’s so relaxingly beautiful. Well as for now I really don’t have any fixed plans for the vacation but my cousin is urging me to look for a place to stay in Myrtle Beach because they really want to go there by next month. It has long been planned but due to some circumstances it was cancelled. I suggested Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotels I found online because it has many beach hotels and resorts located directly on the ocean which my cousin so dearly loves to stay.

Cousin’s hubby can’t take his sports on the side while having vacation so I’ll have to look for a place where they can combine hubby’s favorite golf sports with cousin’s flair for finest amenities and accommodations of the new Seaside Myrtle Beach Hotel which is just some few steps away from the dazzling beach side, perfect for cousin’s dream vacation. Well they really love staying at one of the resorts there because that’s exactly what they’re planning a year ago. So many things happened including the disastrous big flood in our place that makes everyone strive hard to make up for the lost properties.

Now that we’ve moved on and somehow have saved enough for a relaxing vacation we might as well plan a vacation getaway that will bind the family. I just can’t make up my mind where so I just helped out my cousin who is so busy with her business to arrange things for their family vacation. It’s a favor I’m doing for them and since I’m always online I have the privilege of seeing what’s new and good for the deals. Well If I’m to ask I’ll definitely choose Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotel for them so they can enjoy vacationing in the beach, some nice entertainment, fine dining, shopping, perfect accommodations and of course his husband’s golf which cannot be put behind the vacation. Good for all of them and I think they agree with me.

:Looking at the Sky on Friday #68

Click the image to see larger view

It's Friday once again and I always love posting here my share of looking at the sky. I got here a photo of the condominium building directly in front of our church and I have a nice view here because we're renting at the fourth floor. I have the privilege of taking a low or high shots. For this week I've chosen my shot of the full upper front building where the beautiful sky and clouds serve as the perfect background for the condo building. I wonder if the tenants know how beautiful their place is. I would love our house to have a picture like this one.

Optimum Protection from Sun’s Heat

My Mom told me to bring protection from sun every time I choose to go out of the house. I’m just not used to using umbrella on short distance walk to store. Mother knows best because if the skin is always exposed to sun it will dry out and possibly develop some wrinkles. I don’t want that to happen to me because I’ll need anti wrinkle cream like strivectin if I develop too much wrinkles.

I’m fond of reading reviews on just about any topic and I came upon some reviews about this product not being a complete cream for wrinkles and was introduced first as a cure for stretch marks. The review dwells on the product incapacity to be what it claims to be. It’s not complete with needed ingredients which make it not an ideal one to use if ever I should need one. Now that I don’t have wrinkles yet I guess I can just stay away from sun’s heat and avoid overexposure when outside the house. Of course optimum protection must be in hand always. Anyway there are lots of alternative and I’ll search for it when I have the time.

Pizza Snacks Within Short Distance

Just had my snacks with my Mom and three kids and we tried the new store few blocks away from my house? It sells pizza with toppings like bacon & mushroom, bacon & cheese, hawaiian, ham & cheese, mushroom & cheese and pepperoni & cheese. The kids chose ham and cheese and ordered fruit shakes to drink with the pizza. They also have French fries, dimsum and different sandwiches. It’s just the regular community pizza and the taste is only ordinary nothing special but for pizza lovers like us it’s just fine, anyway the price is only from P75-P120 so it’s really affordable. What’s important is that we can have pizza now whenever we want it. We can even make a call first before we go there so they can prepare it before I pick it up.
