:WW - My Kids' Tent

Have you experienced sleeping on tents? Well as for my kids they find it very exciting, though this time it's not their first time to sleep on tent they always love bringing it on our camp meetings. My two daughters sleep on their own usually with my sis redge and my little Josh with hubby and me. It's their first time to build it on their own and they giggled and laughed as they assembled their tent. So mommies have your little and big children experience the fun of sleeping on tents.

What Does Your Work Space Say About You?

I've been trying to tidy my workplace since I only go to office once a week this month. I wanted my place to be spotless and my files stored safely to be sure all confidential files are secured. I'm not that perfectly neat but I want my things in the proper place just in case someone called me to ask where my things are, that's my dilemma when I'm on leave I'm expected to know and memorize exactly my directories, files, documents and location of every single thing that I'm in charge of, they call me and I should perfectly know what they're asking me.

Speaking of workspace do you know what does your work space say about you? Take this test and you'll see for yourself. Here is mine:

Your Workspace Says You Work Best With Others

You are an organized and detail oriented person. You have your life in order. You tend to work at your own pace. If this means things don't You feel like you neglect your family and friends when you're working. You may work a bit too much. You are still trying to figure out your ideal career. You could quit your current job on any given day. At work, you tend to be an extrovert. You enjoy working with other people and drawing people into your work space.

Landing Finance Jobs

When a friend or relative learns that I’m resigning from my job they always tell me to think it over as job opportunities now are getting fewer and I might not land into another job that will give me a stable income. They’re right but they just don’t know how hard it is to handle finance jobs as I find it very delicate to handle. When you’re in a finance or accounting department you have to careful in disclosing figures as the job demands for strict confidentiality and honesty of course.

As of now I just can’t really figure out how a computer engineering graduate landed a position in finance department, I supposed it depends on how your boss sees how wide you can expand your horizon in learning new things and accepting challenges in life.

:Food Friday - Ampalaya Con Tofu

Glad I'm back here after a month. I've been busy with so many activities and most of my schedules falls on a Friday making it possible for me to join this meme I come to love. Anyway my entry for this week is my favorite Ampalaya which I cooked this time with breaded tofu, it's my own original recipe made healthier by not mixing any meat content.

Tofu was dipped in a a mixture of water and soy sauce then breaded before frying. Ampalaya was cooked the normal way except that breaded fried tofu was mixed after the egg unlike when you use pork meat. For me it's more delicious and for the health-conscious and dieters you can say it's the best alternative. Ampalaya is my weekly recipe to give me what I need for my low blood supplement.

Try it guys and I'm sure you'll love it! Happy Food Friday to all, enjoy your weekend!

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.
