Trip to Davao

I was so very lucky my good friend invited me to visit her place in Davao (the second largest city in the Philippines), last September 2012. I wasn't able to roam around the city but it's really worth the time eating variety of fruits like Durian, Marang, Pomelo, Rambutan and many others. I was able to swim in one of the resorts and had a night life, too. I went home from Davao after four days full of good memories of one my hospitable friend. I thank God for that wonderful trip.

you must be a wise spender at all times or else....

Pap Smear

Just done my Pap Smear last August 10/12 with my new Ob-gyne. Just to have second opinion.Korina was with me at that time.

Just rain no typhoon

Heavy rain started pouring yesterday afternoon, until now and causes floods in almost all areas of Metro Manila. So terrible because in spite of having no typhoon several lives and properties were lost because of heavy rains. The weather bureau assures the public that this rain will stop on Thursday. Can you imagine how damaging it could be if we will wait for the rain to stop on Thursday? Come to think about it? See some pictures courtesy of http://palaisip.blogspot.com/

Who cares?

Happiness can't be felt by the number of people around you. It's the time when you feel the comfort of what you are doing.

Gener the typhoon

August 1, 2012 when typhoon Gener strikes Manila leaving Roxas Boulevard flooded and tons of garbage along the seawall. Just look at the pictures and you will have the idea how it looks like.

when is the time

When is the time to end the marriage for more than 20 years. I really don't when, but a friend of mine told me of her experience.She said goodbye to her marriage when she felt that her husband didn't respected her anymore.

Under age

May I know exactly the age when you say that a certain person is underage? Below eighteen years of age? I think it must not be the age we should preferred to be called under age. You may ask why? Have you heard from the news on TV, that a ten year old boy is capable of killing his playmates by using a gun? A thirteen year old snatching a bag from a lady walking at the street. A six year old girl used by a gang as an accessory to a crime, would you dare to believe that? I think our government should act to give a solution to this problem. I think this happens not only in our county but almost all parts of the world. Below eighteen is too old to be considered under age for we all know that with the advance use of gadgets everywhere they are truly influenced with their own friends or may be inside their homes. The bad side of this when an underage committed a crime they will not be put in jail instead they will only be brought to DSWD ( Department Of Social Worker And Development )for care and rehabilitation and be free for just how many months. But the worst part of this sometimes, these under age tried to escape from DSWD before they finish the period of their rehabilitation.

Canlaon Tree

Osssh, I was so amaze to see this picture posted by my high school classmate. So, curious I told my daughter Korina to look some information about this tree.

The over 1,300-year-old balete tree (related to banyan trees) located in OISCA Farm in Canlaon City, Philippines, is probably the oldest known tree in the country as estimated by botanists from Silliman University. (Source: Wikipedia.com)

Shoe Scandal

Graduation

March 27, 2012, for the last time Korina wore her school uniform to attend her high school graduation. After the ceremony almost all of them cried for the feeling of leaving each other’s closeness for four years that they had been together. As I've said you missed 1/3 of your life's journey if ever you don't have a high school life. But good for the graduates today… there’s a Facebook that connects anywhere and whoever you looks for somebody you remembered anytime at any day....today.Unlike our high school days you're lucky enough if ever you had a photo for keeps.

50 AS IN

Thank you for those who remembered my day and have fun with me yesterday. GOD is good. I only wish good health for my family and long life so I can be with them to guide them.

Pampanga

Just got back from my five days assignment in the province. What an experience to remember. A cherished one.

Desk

I was in my elementary days, when I was able to know the meaning of the word "desk". In my own little understanding as a kid, desk is made of wood where you can sit down on it. But as I was getting older, I got to know it better and find a new meaning for it, as a furniture at its best and durable as Desks. Often times we look for beautiful designs and hard woods but find it frustrating as the furniture becomes older because its quality naturally fades. I had my own experience regarding this. I once bought a new dining set in a famous furniture shop at a high price many years ago and for only two years, I was surprise to see the wood color fading and found out the wood to be so cheap. So, I felt as if I was snatch of my money. And after that time, I suggested my husband that we rather make our own furniture. And we did. So until now we are still using it but if time comes that I need to change my furniture then, I will make an order on line to one of the branches of Desks , like their cabinets, book shelves and computer desk as well. The price and quality itself speaks the brand. You can email them at enquiries@thedeskcentre.co.uk . They’re waiting for you. For sure your decision to make an order is as good as mine.

Keep on praying... when the world shakes the LORD is just reminding us people that HE is above everything in this world.....
