:Looking at the Sky on Friday #104: Afternoon Walk at the Beach

Click the image to enlarge

This is my shot of my two church mates walking in the beach to look for shells.  The best time to find beautiful shells is in the afternoon when it's low tide.  The sky here is alarming us of impending rains and indeed it rained after several minutes.  Still I go my shot of the beautiful yet dark sky at the beach.  We were there for some relaxing day out with family and friends in our church.

I  really love sky watching wherever my cam takes me. God's creations are indeed beautiful. Visit more beautiful sky photos just click on the badge below!

Excelling in Online Education

I place a high value on education, and am excited at the way educational opportunities have grown in recent years thanks to the increasing popularity of online schools. Now, you can go back to school for an education that includes a high school diploma, associate, bachelor, or masters degrees, and a number of certifications. This opens up countless doors and increases earning potential. Best of all, online schools provide the opportunity to pursue an education while working or taking care of a family.

A few things you can do to excel in your distance schooling include:

1) Stick to a schedule. Part of the beauty of attending school online is the ability to work on your own schedule. However, you should still create a schedule and stick to it. This is particularly helpful if you are easily sidetracked. Make a list of when your assignments are due and stick to your own deadlines if your program doesn't provide them.

2) Take advantage of support services. Most online schools have many of the same services you would find in a traditional campus school, including online tutoring, technical support, writing centers that will critique your paper, and more. These services are included in your tuition, so you might as well take advantage of them.

3) Keep your computer running smoothly. Your computer is the most important tool you have, as it is required to receive, send, and work on your assignments. Keep it running smoothly by keeping all of your systems and software updated, and install a virus protection. You can download drivers and updates for them for free on a number of different websites.

Taking charge of your online education will help you successfully complete your diploma or degree and provide new opportunities.

For Home and Business Comfort

We need comfort in our homes and more so in our workplace where we spend most of our day to do our particular jobs. In tropical countries concentration on keeping the offices in air conditioned system is a must because it’s mostly hot weather the whole day. When they encountered failure in electricity they usually have generators to support the lightest load possible and it’s more lighting only. When you go to the mall in the midst of electric interruption you don’t have to worry because they will provide the usual load to keep the lights and ventilation system going until electric hasn’t returned.

I know that in the other part of the world it’s more important to have heating provisions for all establishments especially in your own houses like heating richmond va which caters mainly to Richmond and central Virginia.

Water is very important in our everyday life be it our drinking water, our cleaning water or water for all purpose. We should be drinking the purest and cleanest water wherever we are especially in our own house. But sometimes we don’t always get the best for us and our family even if we did our best. I learned that there are some places where water was found to have contaminants. 

There are variety of problems water can get like iron, sulphur, acidity, hardness and chlorine. These things should be treated in order to make the water fit for human use.

Wedding Party Supplies

Getting married is one of the best things that can happen to couples in love. It’s a commitment that should be done for love and not for any obligation. Because of that it should be a special occasion to celebrate. To make it very special it should be handled with a good coordinator that knows everything from gown to food to reception up to the minute details of the special occasion. It’s not easy to handle wedding as there are plenty of things to prepare, plan and consider in arranging it. In my own wedding several years ago I arranged everything with the help of my sister, cousins and best friend. I wouldn’t have managed it perfectly without their help. It would have been much easier if there’s a one-stop shop for all wedding party needs like cake, invitations, wedding reception’s table, flowers, balloons, tableware and many other wedding supplies. 

Now it’s more convenient because there are stores like partypro.com, an online store that carries great wedding discount party supplies and decors. You don’t have to go through hopping from one store to another to complete your wedding party needs. They have over 60,000 discount party supplies which are good enough to choose from. You can even enjoy wholesale price if you have bulk orders. Now that’s affordability and comfort all in one shopping. Planning and preparing wedding party will never be stressful when you have partypro to order from.

Getting Your Own Filter

I’m glad that our purified water delivery man has come back from his long vacation. His other co-worker has told me that he left the store already but the truth is he had an accident. I like him because we didn’t have to call for a replenishment of our water when our supply runs out. He has a habit of dropping by and checking on our supply every other day or on my instructed date on him. If he’s not the one who delivers the water we’re always running out of purified water. 

Sometimes I’m thinking of getting our own filter from the recommended water filter supplier of our friend but we’re talking about the advantages and disadvantages if you have your own filter for your drinking water. It will also require some money and careful proceedings before you can have your own water filter.

What High School Clique Did You Belong To?

You Were One of the Jocks

When you were in high school, you liked to compete and win. You really found out what you were made of.
You liked being part of a team, and you enjoyed working with others and doing your part.

You may have been labeled or stereotyped, but the truth is that you were just doing your thing.
Teachers may not have given you the respect you deserved. You were working harder than anyone knew!

One of the best years in my life was in high school because I had my close and best friends there.  I learned many things and high school opened up sports to me that I continued until college and on my employment days.  My teachers liked me and helped me reached my goal of getting into the honor roll of the class.  Sad one of my best teachers died young two years ago. She used to greet me in full name even after twenty years making me feel she didn't forget me all throughout these years.

Effects of Long Working Hours at Night

My online friends and I were talking about our busy schedule this week over some outpouring of tasks by our favorite client. We’re just worried that constant overtime during the night might cause sickness on us. This week only we’re lazy, sleepy, dizzy or having prolonged headache. Well that’s the effect of staying up late every night and sometimes we sleep at dawn. 

We’re joking about getting some anti wrinkle serum if we developed aging effects on our skin due to overnights. Anyway I still haven’t any wrinkle in my face so I better not worry about the expenses. I’m not so vain with my looks but I’m very cautious with my budget so I’ll just take extra care not to abuse myself with overtime work and not to think too much to avoid wrinkles.

My Nephew is Sick

I’ve visited my nephew who suddenly got fever and had a declining level of platelet count. He was hospitalized to monitor his APC and to prevent complications of his fever. Actually my nephew looks very healthy when we visited him and because he has been resting for four days then he’s becoming bigger again. No he doesn’t need any fat burner for now because most of his big form consists of muscles. We’re actually surprised at his built now because he’s a bit thin last summer. Oh well he eats well all the time so that’s not a surprise actually we’re just giving him so much attention. He’s the first born grandchild in our clan so forgive our pampering.

Maintaining Healthy Diet and Workout Routine

Some school friends I knew from my previous work still don’t know the factors in keeping healthy and fit. They still ask for ways on how they can get rid of unwanted pounds and fats. I’m also on the overweight side of the meter scale but I’m taking every measure on how I can be strong and fit while shedding some pounds out. They’re asking about the best weight loss supplement I know but I only told them that as of now I don’t need supplement as I’m following my healthy meal plan diet and workout routine. I’ve started with tae bo exercise last week and it feels great on my body though at first I had some pain in my body lol!
