Click the image to see larger view

This is a shot at the fields we've traveled from Laguna Lake to home. It was the road leading to floodway and it's a shortcut going home. Travel took us around 40 minutes or less only. I find the clouds and skies very beautiful and captivating in their swirling circular formation and my little boy told me to take a shot as he finds it beautiful too. Guess my kids have grown used to my flair for capturing sky images. They're into photography too as they told me they want to study short course when they are old enough to study.

It was a great day for sky watching! To visit more beautiful sky photos just click on the badge above!

The Best Treasure You Can Get

We came from a family of school teachers. My mother and two sisters of my father were public school teachers when they were younger. My Mom is a retired teacher now but still imparting knowledge to my children. She helps me in training and guiding them in their everyday assignments, school projects and academic activities. My kids got honors from their studies and I know that the reason for that is my Mom’s effort and patience in them.

DH and I also teach and guide them in their studies and we try to set a good education pattern to them so when they start to research college degrees they would know what to do and what to look for. We want to impart to them the value of education and of having a college degree in getting the job they want. It’s the best treasure that we can give them because education and knowledge cannot be stolen. It will never be lost as no one can take it away from them. That’s what our parents told us when we graduated from college.

So for those who wish to have the treasure that we have visit CollegeDegreesToday and search for online and campus-based schools where you can choose the degree of your choice. Try to choose the one whom you love best. It’s inspiring to study when you love your college course and be at your best so you’ll have the chance to get a good-paying and interesting job.

Rushing for Afternoon Travel

I was searching for Gen’s extra school uniform and some socks when my attention was caught by the loud query of an old lady behind me. She’s asking for gift ideas for her friend’s daughter because she really didn’t know what to buy for her. Another one behind told her to pick up plus size lingerie as it would be safe whether she’s thin or fat. I forgot to ask what age but anyway we’re rushing for our travel to MIL’s house later in the afternoon. I’m asking DH if I could bring my lappy, the answer is no. Well he really knows how to give me relaxation lol!

Healthy Meals Again Pls!

I'm feeling dizzy due to lack of sleep for two days but I know it's also due to missing out my healthy diet. It's been two weeks now that due to busy schedule I can't keep up with eating fruits, veggies and fish only. I'm just glad that even if I eat rice now the amount was very minimal that my cravings didn't returned. I can still eat without rice for lunch and dinner. I was just hoping that those Big Macs and Pizzas will not get into my system again as rice is better than them lol!

Switching to Contact Lens

I wear prescription glasses since I entered university and since then I haven’t changed to wearing contact lens even if most of my friends are using it. I’m very used to wearing my glasses and I can do almost all my works with glasses on all the time. I even compete on a volleyball tournament wearing my glasses. I actually love wearing it because due to long period of time I came to love its imperfections like its not comfortable wearing it and I will look old. Those comments don’t affect me because I almost grew up wearing it and since I’m using the lighter kind of glasses it’s not so hard wearing it.

Now I’m beginning to feel a little discontented on my glasses as when I’m reading a book I need to put it away unlike in the past that I can wear it even on close reading. My sister is wearing contacts and since she has used it she never want to go back so I’m also considering switching from my glasses to contact lens. I’m thinking of trying Acuvue oasis because it was a well-known product and has a nice reputation of bringing quality products to the public.

I’m giving myself a few more months to decide on buying Acuvue oasis contacts. Anyway it will surely be a best buy for me because it’s has a high UV rays, visibility tint and the inside-out market, all of its features designed to give the consumers the best comfort and health when they wear contacts.

Jaeger leCoultre Replica Watch

Jaeger leCoultre replica watch is a leading name in watch industry. The manufacturers of the brand has made a big name in wrist watch manufacturing industry such that the various brands of its products are brands to beat anytime any day. Since 1903 when Jaeger joined another foremost watch maker LeCoultre, the brands they produced, have continued to dominate the market. The most notable brands from the company are Reverse watches. Since 1930s when the products first hit the market it has remained relevant even up to this time. Jaeger watches are indeed Swiss watch of unmatchable standard.

Jaeger replica watch is a true replica and true resemblance of the original Jaeger watches. The replica watches and the original watch from where the replica was imitated do not show any remarkable difference. What is different between then is just that while the main Jaeger the patented company produced watch at the home base of the company, the replica brand of it may not have been produced by the parent company. It should not be ruled out that the manufacturers of the replica watch may be an affiliate or a subsidiary of the parent company. The replica and the original are just one and the same.

Jaeger replica should be bought and patronized just like the original brand. The functions the replica brand performs are identical and even the same with the function performed by the original brand. The qualities of the finished product of the replica brand do not show any difference at all. The replica watches just emerged fill up the shortfalls created by the inadequacies in demand of the original product. It is always good to remember that any popular timepiece that has a replica, that the replica may have come into existence to bridge a gap between demand and supply of that original product. Also it is good to emphasize that replica brand could not have come into being without the approval of the parent company that have the patent or right of ownership of that brand. Therefore there is no difference between the replica watch and the original brand of that watch.

This is a shot at Lake Villa Resort where we had our Mom's birthday celebration last Saturday. This shot was taken around 5 in the afternoon so I had the chance to capture the resort and sky near sunset time. I was at the back almost at the front of the lake capturing the view at the front with my two girls on each side of the picture (see the shadowy figures). I really have some fascination about the sky and I love taking tons of shots on them. How about you?

Happy sky watching! More on this villa sky shots next week. To visit more beautiful sky photos just click on the badge above!

Choose the Safest Way to Lose Weight

I’m on my fifth week of having a cleansing diet but I stopped this week due to many activities that forced me to eat what’s on the table. I didn’t have the time to prepare my own foods. It’s easier to drink diet products but my meal plan is healthier. It’s fine to drink products that’s recommended by doctors but it doesn’t guarantee the effects just like what I read about lipozene which is not really effective contrary to what’s it’s been marketed for. Well it suppresses appetite as from the review I read but it will not help you lose much weight. So why the fuss if it will not make you slimmer? Better try something that’s guaranteed, safe and healthy.

Effects of Workout Exercise

When I look at the people who frequent the gym near the school I can’t help thinking if they’re really having the best ab workout they could get because one or two of them didn’t seem to decrease much in their tummies. Anyway I know different gym exercises didn’t work out the same way it should on people. It’s just the same as other people have faster metabolism than others. Some workout exercises may not always have the same fast effects on all people though it may work on them on a slower mode.

Now I’m thinking when I will have the time to have my regular exercise as from looking into the mirror my reflections told me to do it as soon as possible lol!

Get Rid of Your Back Pain

Since I started working after graduation I’m always part of the work group that works overtime, overnight and on night shifts. My employer always picks me up to be part of the team that will work on time-pressured bidding and projects. My colleagues told me that aside from the abilities I also have the patience and the positive attitude to follow my boss’ instructions up to minute details that’s why I’m always his preferred choice for critical projects.

But no matter how strong and healthy you are you will still be prone to sickness when you overworked your body. The overnights and long hours of working gave me severe back pain that will only be healed upon complete rest and massage therapy. I’m just lucky that my Mom knows how to heal my back pain or else I will need the back pain treatment Richmond has been giving to its patients. There you can experience the caring and treatment of trained and experienced doctors who knows how it feels to have chronic pain themselves. You can experience how good it is to be treated with either traditional or alternative pain relief therapies. You can now start to live without the back pain that you think will never be healed anymore.
