Sorting Things Out

As I’m on a one-month vacation leave I’m doing some general cleaning and inventory on the house on my few vacant periods from taking care of my Mom. I was glad that my kids can help me with my task as they’re also on their school vacation. They cleaned up their school cabinets and discarded things that they will not use next school year.

Even my preschooler Josh asked me to teach him how I sort his clothes; I was amazed that he can learn things fast. I noticed that I will need new tv stands because I’ll separate one tv for viewing videos alone and another for television shows only. Sometimes the kids can’t be moved out of their cable tv shows so I’ll separate the other tv for music and movie videos only.

:WW - Floodway Houses

This is only a snapshot from my mobile cam and I just wanted to capture this scene. The sky looks very serene and peaceful but the houses along the side of the Pasig floodway gives me a frightening thought that their houses and lives might not be safe there. Actually I've heard news from the past that on some heavy storms that hit Metro Manila some of these houses were carried by the flood. Hope someone from the government give serious attention on this.

Part-Time Consultant

It's hard to work once a week only as you have to finish everything within 8 hours, one thing that makes me happy is the thought that I'll be with my family again for several days. My fear is that I'm getting used to my present schedule of going to my work once a week, I don't know how am I going to be adjusted again to my regular office hours.

I have a wishful thinking that I'll go on like this after my leave. I know it's possible because my boss offered me to work three times a week as consultant to his other company which is actually my company for 10 years before BT&T. What's stopping them from transferring me was the difficulty in finding an accountant, administrative and human resource officer all at the same time. They need someone like me who will be in-charge of all the mentioned positions. Question is - will someone accept all these multi-positions with just one salary only? Hope yes so I can move on with my part-time job so I can pursue my planned business and be with my family more often.

Campers’ Site

My church mates and I were talking about our forthcoming summer camp fellowship which will be held in Indang, Cavite near Tagaytay City. We were discussing about things needed in camping because were going to sleep on tents when someone asked me about specific information on camping and parks available for such purpose. I’m not that familiar with those things and I’m glad that I found rv, the site and source for travel trailers, campers and national parks. I didn’t know this site before and I really appreciate getting information easily online, it saves time, effort and answers inquiries faster than researching on books. Anyway I don’t think I have books on this topic so this online site helps a lot.

Colon Cleanse

I chanced upon Lisa, a relative very close to our family and she silently whispered to me that the husband of our auntie who used to be very healthy and strong now has been diagnosed to have colon cancer. I was a bit shocked as I’ve seen him months ago and I didn’t notice any trace of sickness on him. In fact I’m planning to ask him if he could do some work on our glass windows, he’s a glass specialist and we want him to do the job for us.

Lisa told me that he didn’t know that he has colon cancer; he just assumed that he has some trouble with his stomach; he actually thought its only ulcer. After I have recovered from mixed feelings of shock and worry I remembered the sites I browsed about colon cleanse and I immediately suggested that they consult their doctor about this for a chance that it might help him. I’m just busy now with nursing my Mom after her cataract operation but after these busy weeks I’ll check on them if they’ve already consulted it with their doctor.

:WW - Graduation Month!

More balloons here just like in my other blog entry. This is the graduation stage of my son Josh with very refreshing summer color design. Now it's the first day of April and graduation ceremonies are almost finished except for some who scheduled their rites at the end of this week. For the graduates of 2009 may the knowledge gained from school and good attitude taught by our teachers be used also in our own home and in the society around us.

Vacation Activities for Kids

I just had some inventory and general cleaning on the house as we were about to have someone do some construction works on our wall and gates. As I’m going to spend sometime in the house to assist the workers regarding their food I would have extra time to do some house arrangement. The kids will start their summer vacation next week so we’ll have plenty of time to fix their new room. My two girls are getting older now and we want them to have their own so they can arrange their own things the way they want it.

As I am fixing things in the house I discovered some plain white clothes that can be personalized with my kids’ names on it. I saw a non-toxic and easy to use rubber stamp for clothes and I want to try it this summer vacation so the kids will have something to keep them busy. They’re so interested on doing artistic things so I thought it would be best to start on this one. Of course I’ll be thinking on more ways that they can use their spare time.

:Food Friday : Pancit Malabon

This is Pancit Malabon but not bought from Malabon but cooked from our very own sister in our church, Sister Cresing. Her grandson and my godson Marrion celebrated his first birthday and this is their blowout in our church on the Sunday following the child's birthday. She's like a pro cook when it comes to cooking almost any lind of recipe, everyday or occasion food.

You'll really love her cooked food when you'll have the chance to taste it! She even made a living out of it when she at one time sells breakfast meals. It was a hit just like this special pancit malabon with a sauce that will make you forget the day lol! It made us really full on the belly!

Happy Food Friday to all, enjoy your weekend!
