PhotoHunt: Together

Jaz,Me,Nona,Klea,Jhing and Flor

This picture was taken after we have taken our lunch in the office pantry. Every time I see this picture I missed my office friends here especially Jaz who's now in Abu Dhabi and Jhing who started a new life in Pangasinan province. Flor is the only one here who still works in BT&T aside from me. We've shared happy moments together despite experiencing pressures from work. I will always treasure those moments even if we're not together now.

Zenni Optical was on FOX News!

If you would ask me what’s the most important thing I would bring when I go out of the house I would say my eyeglasses. I’ve been wearing eyeglasses since my college days and it has been my constant companion. I’m more comfortable with eye glasses the reason why I never tried contact lenses. For style and prices I always browse online for Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni. They offer wide variety of stylish eyeglasses at a price you can afford, very economical for mothers like me.

Now I’ve seen Zenni on Fox and watched how the reporter was looking into this whether it’s true that they sell Great Eyeglasses For Less. Imagine you can have 20-20 vision at about $20 or even less. I realized now that many people will know about this great deal about prescription glasses because Zenni Optical was on FOX news! You see people like to buy or use things that they see or heard on news, nice advertising too!

We'll talk about all the beautiful things that God made and the wonderful love God has for us.

3. If you have all the time in the world, what would you change about your life? I'll have more time with my kids, I want to see all little changes in their lives from being a baby to a toddler to little boy/girl up to the time that they've grown enough. The things that we cannot go back to if the time passed already. If they're old enough they will spend less time with me so now I want to enjoy their childhood.

4. What is the best thing that ever happened to you this past week? I had a nice time with my kids, they were on semestral break so we didn't rushed during our breakfast. Breakfast in our house are usually the happiest meal because we're together.

9. Do you think photos of you capture your essence? No I don't look good in pictures but I feel good most of the times, I'm always happy and vibrant but in my pictures I sometimes look haggard because of my eyes.

10. When I get angry, I never said a thing contrary to my outgoing personality who always talk and tell stories. I have a temper so when I get mad I prefer to keep silent or else I might do something that I will regret! I always pray to God to balance my temper at all times and the best solution for me is to keep silent, pray and rest for a while.

Remembering Our Dead Loved Ones

Today the whole country is celebrating All Saints Day which is commonly called as ‘Undas’ or Day of the Dead People. People would commonly buy candles and flowers and bring it to cemetery to pay respect and visit the tomb of their dead loved ones. Some bring plenty of food somewhat like a feast because the whole clan will be there to eat, drink and reunite.

This is the common tradition of Filipinos, I remember when I was a child I would see the oldies pray hard as they lit candles and offer flowers. Now when you go to cemeteries you’ll wonder at some people (not all) who celebrate this season with deafening sound system, teenagers who seem like dating only and people who care only for making their cemetery place as beautiful as their houses. I still see some old people who observe this occasion with praying but they’re very few.

It makes me wonder the true purpose of this occasion. My father died on March 1997 and when we visit his grave we only bring flowers and prayers for him. I believe that simple flowers and prayers are enough because when he was still with us we lavished him with all the love and attention to the best that we can give him. He suffered stroke in 1981 and since then my Mom has been our sole provider because we didn’t want him to work again to prevent stroke occurrence. Even if we have only enough money to sustain us we provided him with everything he needs especially when we finally had a job. He was treated with special love, attention and care up to his last breathing moment.

It’s alright to spend money on expensive candles and flowers as long as we also gave that same care and attention when they were still living with us. We should always give the best of our love to our family, give them flowers on special occasions and care for them deeply because if they die no amount of beautiful flowers can compensate for our shortcomings. Just a reminder!

Maintaining Our Homes

Proper maintenance should be learned when running a household. All areas and corners of the house must be kept in good order and condition to prevent house appliances, equipment and all house accessories from wear and tear. One very important thing to do is to check them regularly and list all things that need immediate attention. Some of the things that needs regular checkup are doors, windows, bathroom and kitchen’s faucet, electrical outlets, cupboards and many others. After all home is where we rest our mind and body from daily challenges of life so it’s better if we keep it maintained at all times.

Ruth’s First Fruit Salad

Since it’s a holiday tomorrow I bought some food for the occasion, since my kids love pandesal I bought a bag full of pugon-baked goodies from Pan de Manila, I’ve picked the biggest size and some wheat type for me. For our lunch tomorrow I’ve only bought chicken because it’s their favorite together with barbeque which I intend to buy from the neighborhood barbeque house. For dessert I’ve picked some canned goods and creams for fruit salad. We all love salad from my Mom to my youngest Josh who has a taste for everything delicious meaning he has a big appetite!

I was relaxing myself watching television when Ruth volunteered to do the salad and since it’s a mix-everything-up recipe I let her do it with just basic instructions from me. She took after my flair in cooking and mixing food and little by little as she grows older she wants to try something new always. After mixing the salad she let me and her granny taste it then after our meticulous judgment (lol) she perfected the taste of her first ever fruit salad. We nearly ate one third of the mixture before she stored it in the freezer, yes she’s done it perfectly!
