Mom and her Dissertation

I am proud of my mother-in-law. At 74 years old she is still healthy , strong and mentally active. Although she has already retired from 37 years of government service as an Education supervisor in the Department of Education, she is now working as School Director of an International School here in our city.

Before her retirement, my mother-in-law graduated from her doctoral degree major in Liberal Arts. I still could remember those days of assignment writing she had to undergo as part of her requirements. Not to mention the time she would spend up to the wee hours in the morning to accomplish writing a coursework .

Finally, my mom had to prepare for her dissertation defense and we somewhat contributed to the data to fill in the format for dissertation. She is really an energetic and a multi-talented person. She encourages us to pursue the things we dream and do our best in everything we do. Even with her job now, we would hear from the teachers under her the praises and admiration they have for my mom. She would not stop thinking of things to improve her work and help others to improve too. She simply want to live a life to the fullest and a life that matters.

ABC Wednesday is Wordfilled Wednesday

KINDNESS

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13:2


The generous person will be prosperous, and he who waters will himself be watered.Proverbs 11:25

Let us not lose heart in doing good.Galatians 6:9a

What is desirable in a person is kindness, and it is better to be poor than a liar.Proverbs 19:22

Insurance as Investment

My mother-in-law is one principled mom. She always encourages us to always be prepared for our future. She told us to make investments in insurances for security. She had her house insured for fire and other calamities and she also had life and health insurance for herself. At time where she would be confined in the hospital for an ailment, we don’t need to worry for her bills. Her health insurance would take care of it. Me and my hubby considered this and are looking for some comparisons to the best term life insurance rates we can avail. How about you? Have you considered getting life insurance for your family?

Your Best Choice!


We’re determined to be health buff, yes, me and my hubby. Weight loss for us should not be something to struggle with but a challenge for us to change things for the better. We made it a point to eat healthy and balanced food, do regular exercises and have enough rest at night. Weight loss need not be an issue to many out there. You can be determined to lose those extra pounds through exercise and with the help of weight loss supplements. If you don’t have a choice yet,click here for generic phentermine and see what I mean. It’s your best choice…without the doctor’s prescription, no side effects and with amazing results for your desired weight.

Wedding Coordinator

Aside from my regular work as an Office Administrator, I coordinate weddings every now and then. I love my work .. why? It’s glamorous and exciting. Although managing a wedding is like managing a complex project. Wedding consists of many details and it is my responsibility to make sure each part is moving along harmoniously. By the grace of God, for the Ten years that I have been doing my job, I could say that I have been doing it satisfactory.

The most memorable wedding I have coordinated was the one held at Plantation Bay , Cebu City. It was the grandest with expenses totaled to more than a Million Pesos. I wondered what Branson MO packages wedding would be… if given the chance to coordinated one.

Blogging vs Biking

My hubby is an exercise buff. He is passionate with his work-outs and mountain biking as I am addicted to my blogging. He has a blog site but he updates it once a week only. I encourage him to spend 30 minutes a day blogging to increase his site traffic and visibility but he preferred to spend that 30 minutes reading his Men’s Health Magazine or browsing the internet for the latest fitness program . Maybe blogging is not really for him.

Don’t you know that he spends 2 hours gruelling the terrains of the nearest mountains here in our city? Rain or shine he’s doing it 3x a week. If not busy with work, he will do it straight 6 days ( except on Sunday of course!). Two of his cell phones were damages already while doing his routines. Sometimes he would feel pain on his back and legs. I would let him take pain relievers or give him a good massage. Both give him relief from stress after work outs. My sister-in-law who’s working in the U.S. as a Physical Therapist recommended us to buy tramadol without rx for simple pain and even chronic ones. She said Tramadol is centrally-acting analgesic, used in treating moderate to moderately severe pain. The drug has a wide range of applications, including treatment for restless leg syndrome and acid reflux. It is available in online pharmacies in the U.S. and it’s just convenient. I doubt if it is available in our place and if we could order tramadol no rx or buy tramadol no rx over the counter. As much as my hubby wanted to try it but shipping the medicine out fo the US maybe prohibited. My sister-in-law have to ask her superior in the hospital about it. Anyway, got to research for it too!

Singapore to Dahilayan Adventure Resort

I posted on my other site yesterday my disappointment from not being able to book for our Singapore Trip. The airfare promo was 70% off from it’s regular fare but because I was waiting for my sister-in-law’s confirmation if they will go with us, all the available seats were already taken when I opened the net to book online.

My kids were dis-heartened. How they longed to spend their vacation in Singapore and visit the Universal Studios! Well, we just did our best to comfort them by offering another vacation escapade. Instead, we would visit an adventure place where families could enjoy indoor and outdoor activities all in one place. That is Dahilayan Adventure Resort in Bukidnon. It’s fast becoming popular here in our place for its adventure packed family activities such as Zip line, ATV tours, outdoor camping...etc. I’m just imagining me and my hubby sitting on outdoor chairs gazing the sky, counting the stars, and just enjoying the night with the kids.

This would be our first outdoor adventure with them and we look forward to doing it. Singapore will come when opportunity knocks again.

Our speed boat was stuck with sea weeds, the reason for my hubby and a Korean to push it to the shore line!

Cancelled Vacation


I regret I was late in grabbing the airline promo seat for Singapore. For the whole morning yesterday , I waited for my sister-in-law’s response since they also expressed their desire to go with us for an Asian Tour ( Singapore – Thailand- Malaysia) this coming October. Actually, I have already created a full-packed plan like that of Branson Missouri vacation packages… but I am disappointed for their very late reply. All the seats were already taken for our desired dates. Maybe it’s really not yet time for us to go.

A date with Mayor Vicente Emano

I just received an invitation from our homeowner’s association as I am updating my blog this evening. The president of the association was the one who handed me the letter and he requested our presence to grace the Induction of officers this coming Saturday. They wanted my hubby to give a short exhortation. I could’t say no when I saw the program that our Honorable Mayor , Vicente Emano will be the Inducting Officer. I guess this is a great privilege for my hubby to speak in front of the Mayor and other public officials.

According to the president, a Disco Party will follow right after the Induction of Officers. Hmmm…. wine by the case will overflow during the celebration. Congratulations to the newly elected officers of NHA Lourdesville Homeowners association, Inc… specially to its new President, Engr. Henry Salada. May God will bless all your endeavours for the betterment of our subdivision.

Dreaming of Europe Tour

Competition is really good! The two local airlines in our country is competing each other with its airline fare. The other day, Asian destination was only P1,499 and yesterday the other airline offered an P888 fare for Singapore. I started to panic since my sister-in-law in California promised to treat the whole family for an Asia tour this December. For the whole morning, my hubby tried to contact his other sister living in Manila to get the birthdays necessary for booking but unluckily all their phones were unreachable. When the time we were able to contact them, the limited seats were already taken.

Hmmm… I guess it’s really not time yet for us to see the Universal Studio in Singapore. Who knows? We might be going for a Europe trip? A bed and breakfast in Brighton , a tour around the historical places of London, sailing around Venice and climbing to the top of Eifel Tower. Ahhh… possibilities are endless. Praying my dream will come true!

Trip to Claveria , Bukidnon



Above are pictures on one of our out-of-town trips. A friend invited us to the blessing of their rest house in Claveria, Bukidnon. I have never been to the place so I savored each minute during our ride. Along the way I could see cloud-capped mountains and boundless flowers quietly indulge in their bloom. I kept on asking my hubby on the names of the trees and plants we passed by. Our pick-up truck moved so fast that I was not able to capture the scenic beauty of the streams and rivers along the way.

Arriving at the rest house was very exhilarating. The mountain view was perfect for their wooden made vacation house. I love their log beds and log chairs. How I wish we could build our own rest house in our farm land. It will surely be a haven from the stressful life in the city.

China Smart Phones

China Phones are now gaining popularity not only it her neighboring Asian countries but also to the western countries like USA and Europe. Have you see the movie Karate Kid? Starring the Jackie Chan and Will Smith’s son? My girl jumped for joy when she saw that the cell phone used by the Chinese girl in the movie is the same with hers.

Below are the China smartphones display at one of the biggest mall in our city. Actually, hubby and I are using double Sim China Phones and in fairness they are fully packed with features and apps to a price that is very affordable. Just a tip in buying china phone , make sure that the battery is not class-a Nokia since it will only last for a day or else you will be compelled to buy an original Nokia battery at a cost no less than a thousand.



Financial Crunch?

All of us in one way or another experience this .. whether it’s a sickness medication need , overlooked bills , education expenses , credit card deadlines or insufficiency of checking account funds. I have experienced this rush need of cash two weeks ago when my mother –in-law was admitted in the hospital. It was week-end and she was due for release earlier than we thought. Her ATM was misplaced and our banks were already close. Thank God our cooperative bank is open half day on Saturdays . I availed immediately for cash loans .

Believe it ! You can avail it online as quicker than you think. Instant cash loans is easy to apply, as soon as you finish the application process, funds are transferred directly to your account at the same day or within 24 hours . Some agencies are able to do this operation within an hour. You can do the application procedure by phone or online. But there are some pre-requisite to get your loan approved such as valid checking or saving account, permanent place of work and regularly paid salary to ensure the lender that you are a credit worth borrower. Some agencies can even check your credit story, but some will not.

A diet to partner my Taebo exercise

Thanks Billy Blanks for your beginner's Taebo work-out. I finally found a work-out DVD that is fitting for a busy mom like me. How about HCG Diet for an exercise partner? I've known HCG Diet

Learning Photoshop


Above is the Blessed Hope Foundation brochure which was made and designed by an ECE Instructor. Learning Photoshop is my greatest frustration. I really do not have the skill of graphic design. A friend told me that learning Photoshop is easy but I do not have the time to enroll for the subject. I wanted a hands on training but a friend who have knowledge on Photoshop seem not interested to teach me... I just wondered why.

Last night, I surfed the internet for Photoshop tutorial and I was redirected to a Branding Design site which has expertise in branding, public relations, web and graphic design. How I wish this full service marketing agency is available locally. Making brochures , booklets and other printing works would be a lot easier for our office since they will be the one to write the copy, source photography, design the layout and commission the most efficient and economical print suppliers.

Health Benefits with Blue Cross NC


Health plans are commodities today. My mother-in-law made sure that she’s covered with every possible insurance and health care she could get. She’s right with her decision in getting these services since she’s now 73 years old. It’s like Blue Cross NC where one can avail great benefits from their health insurance plans.

There was an instance where we went to the doctor three times in week because of her low potassium and she had to be admitted. Thanks to her health care insurance, we have a peace of mind in spite of the large amount of hospital bills.

Losing weight fast? Stick to the one you love...

Weight problem is a worldwide concern. Obese people are fast becoming younger today than ever before. This is because of the couch potato attitude of many and the unhealthy lifestyle we practice. If one is into weight loss program, it’s either he stops in the middle of it or get discouraged because of poor results.

Yes , losing weight fast needs one to be so determined and disciplined in what he does. Maintaining one’s ideal weight is much more of a challenge to anyone wanting an ideal figure. There are many so many ways to lose weight but which is the best? Well, stick to the one you love most and be determined to sweat it out until you get the best result.

The Danger of Asbestos


It is a tragedy that asbestos, one of the most common materials used in building houses, commercial establishment and many other useful products affect 2,000 - 3,000 people in the United States. Common construction items that contain this hazardous substance include insulation, roofing materials, ceiling and flooring tiles and even cements. It causes a deadly form of cancer that is difficult to diagnose that it would take 20-50 years to notice its effect.

Mesothelioma lawsuits are legal actions taken against manufacturers, sellers and installers of asbestos products that affected somebody after being exposed to it. Anybody can now ask for legal help if one is diagnosed with mesothelioma in order to address his financial and medical needs.

Don't Be Tricked!


Have you been tricked by advertisements that claim you will lose 15 pounds in one week for using their weight loss supplement? I must admit, I once was victimized with a famous H-shake which led me to wasted time, money and efforts. A friend introduce the networking company to me . The product orientation was very enticing that I signed-up for membership right after the seminar. I wasted considerable amount of money by purchasing their kit.

This time I want to try lipo 6 hers… it is a popular female fat burner that uses a unique multiple release phases, both fast and extended. The appetite-suppressing, fat-burning and energy-promoting ingredients made it to the top list of weight loss Pill. I hope this one works for me.

HGH Facts

It’s a great advantage to link your blog sites to facebook network blogs. Why? Because it can increase your viewership . Just like this evening I posted my hubby’s hgh supplement, minutes after publishing it a friend ask me about hgh . I am not really in the position to talk about it so I just redirect her to the no. 1 review resource site that discuss human growth hormone facts . I hope she was able to get the information she needed .

Back to Normal


The two busy weeks are over! BHCCCI's 24th Anniversary ( Sept. 5) and the Cagayan de Oro Evangelical Ministers Association's 6th Anniversary ( Sept. 12) were celebrated with a blast! The preparation for the Blessed Hope Got Talent was very tiring but it’s worth the joy and excitement. During the COEMA's Anniversary Celebration, we won the grand slam for both our booth display and talent presentation. Glory to God!

Yes! We are back to our daily routine. Me cleaning up the clutters in my office and my hubby back to his mountain biking spree. His hgh supplement keeps him going through his rigorous exercise and biking trail for 2 hours. It maintains his strength and physical ability.

My Teenager

Oh No! Whiteheads, blackheads and pimples are starting to appear on my son’s face . Last night, I caught him inside his room pricking his pimples. He’s already a teenager and is very conscious of his physical appearance. We are a bit worried about his acne problem and we are planning to go to a dermatologist to ask advise for the best acne treatments . I am a busy mom but still I always see to it that whatever problems my kids have I am always there for them.

On Diet Pill

The question “ how to lose stubborn belly fat “ is probably the most asked question in today’s fitness world. Honestly, I have tried some fat burner pills and the famous Ab Circle but they didn’t help. I did an intensive cardio and strength training but it’s draining my time and strength. My sister-in-law in California is using Apidexin and it’s working for her. She said Apidexin will burn fat while helping her to gain muscle mass . Is there such thing as targeted weight loss? Is the diet pill available in the Philippines?

Word-filled Wednesday


Pick-up Truck we're dreaming


September here in our place is part of the rainy season we experience every year. But beginning with this month, the weather gets colder as we are approaching month of December and the rain pours more often in the afternoon. This reminds us again with my hubby as we visited a Car display center where they are offering new brands of cars, pick-ups and SUV’s. Yes, our dream to buy a brand new pick-up truck is still very fresh since it is also this month that we are expecting to receive the land titles for the farmlands that our family owned.

We are in high spirits as we tried to ask the sales person, even the manager of the pick-up truck’s amenities and the truck accessories available. It is very important for us to know this information in case that we decided to buy one of those displayed pick-up trucks. My hubby is always the kind of really taking good care of everything we have especially with our car and our motorcycle. I know that when we buy our pick-up truck, he wants it to function well and look best too.

www.carid.com is one sight I recommend if you are looking for the best car and pick-up truck accessories. You will not be dismayed when you will look at all the truck accessories they offered. Yes, as of this writing, we are looking forward to buying that brand new pick-up truck we’re dreaming.
