:Photo Hunt#175 - Ripples

While others tend to avoid water I really searched for some water photos but reminded myself to use a subject on the water so I decided to pick on this one. I like this shot of fish pond when my office friends were in Hongkong with plenty of fishes mostly gold fish swimming endlessly :-) (of course they're fishes and water is their habitat). Well that causes some ripples on the water. There I got my theme!

Beach Vacation Plans

It was a very busy and somewhat stressful day as I’ve run a lot of errands for the day; the stressful thing about my day is thinking about my online tasks and not having the time to do it. I’m just happy that Redge and I finally decided on the Sunday school chairs that I wanted to buy last week. We’re lucky to secure the stocks and colors that we need. We’ve just transferred to a new church location and I thought some kiddie monoblock chairs would be nice for the kids in school; they will surely love using it in Sunday school.

I’m glad that despite the busy weekend schedule I finally made it to my PC and started my online tasks. Sometimes I feel that being a work-at-home Mom is a lot busier than my office world, well thinking positively I’ve proven myself that I can do various things at one time and I can take care of my kids by myself while working to help hubby with financial matters. He told me that he really appreciates helping him but he wanted me to rest early in the night as my eyes would suffer from the stress of too much exposure on the screen.

Actually we were discussing that if only he can apply for a leave we can rest for a while and go with our vacation plans, no not as luxurious as romantic vacation riviera maya but as relaxing and as peaceful I might say. Of course it would be on white-sand beach only as the sea and the sky above it has a calming effect on me especially when I get to watch the sunset. That’s what I really need, a beach vacation.

I'm Coffee

I just got to answer this one though I know in my heart that I'm a coffee simply because I love coffee :-) actually I believe that coffee is a stronger beverage than tea and I think I've grown to be braver now after all the trials that passed by my life.

You Are Coffee

You are highly ambitious and goal oriented. You feel like there isn't enough time in your day to get it all done. You are outgoing and creative. You love talking with people, thinking up crazy plans, and then acting immediately on them. When it comes to caffeine, you'd like a refill. You can almost always use an energy boost. Life is too short. You're going to get as much out of it as you can. You live for today.

Are You Coffee or Tea?

Putting Some Style Into Your Car

When we started owning a car our first objective is to have a vehicle that we can use for our Sunday service and some other church activities. True to our objective our car has been our transport every Sunday and sometimes on midweek bible study. We also used it on camp fellowship which we held on faraway provinces where we bring our basic essentials, food and clothing that will last us for three days. Our car has brought us comfort and ease on travel and we thanked God for giving us an opportunity and means to buy a second hand car.

When we first bought the car it was devoid of style because the original parts and accessories were either worn out or broken. As we’re excited to bring some style and design to our car we looked for some nice auto accessories like lights, floor mats and other items that will fit the car and after doing it the car suddenly turned out stylish enough for our usage. You see cars are like people they should be given proper care, maintenance and some makeover if needed.

Gen Joined Chess Tournament

Gen was again busy with her extracurricular activities these days but this time she’s into sports and she’s joined the chess elimination in her school, luckily she passed and started competing last Wednesday. And oh she made me buy her a new big chess board and gave her old small one to Josh which she’s training also. If you can see them playing you’ll laugh out loud as Josh always want to take all the soldiers (poon) and he doesn’t care about the king lol! He knows the entire move and the rules but he told that those are his favorites.

Well anyway as of this day Gengen have 2 loses and 2 wins and she’s happy that she was sure to have additional grades as her teachers in Science and Math promised to give them incentives or additional extra curricular points once they win once or twice in 7 rounds. At home we all played games with her to practice her moves and I can see that she was very happy with it. >Win or lose I’ll give her a price!

Modify Your Loan

With the current economic crisis going on here and abroad people tend to have more loan applications than before. It is becoming a fast solution to finance shortage which in the end can cause headaches in payments. Some lenders really have the capacity to investigate and study how much the borrower can afford to repay the loan but others don’t so in the process after some period problem with payments arises.

Most often the borrowers overestimate their financial capacity to pay and end up using their entire paycheck to pay the mortgage, so how about their daily and basic expenses? And what if something happens like emergency cases of sickness, death or loss of job. That’s the start of the borrower’s dilemma leading to bad credits which is not good for both the borrower and the lender. If you happen to encounter this kind of problem all you need is loan modification to help recover your debts and in the process meet your ability to pay monthly mortgage to avoid foreclosure of properties.

Well I came upon McFarlin & Geurts which provides expertise on loan restructure and can give you the best terms for modifying your loan. They do it with their group of experts who knows and understands the loan proceedings and regulations.

Helping A Drug Addict Quit

Have you ever known a drug dependent person and care enough to listen to what he has to say? You’ll feel sympathy towards them as most of them had a bad childhood or experienced worst situation in their lives. I should know because I had a first hand experience of knowing one drug addict. A close relative of mine who used to be a good boy when he was young with a remarkable talent in his hands suffered insecurities and uncertainty in life that he resorted to drug to console him. A part of his dependency was mainly due to peer pressure, he was convinced by his friends who earlier tried taking drugs and being problematic then he readily succumbed to temptations.

I’ve read a lot of stories and write ups about the life of drug addicts and I agree on some of their conclusions. Most of drug dependent people are those who have weak personalities and some has not been given enough time to voice out their problems to their parents. It’s hard to admit but parents play a major factor in a child’s dependency in drugs but I must also say this is not applicable to some families.

If you have encountered having relatives or a member of your family who resorted to drugs and became dependent on it you can do something to help them. Just always remember that it’s not the end of the world for them, you can help a drug addict quit by getting some information on how you can start changing their lives from the mess they entered. You can start by choosing the right treatment center available who can really give the right medication, treatment and rehabilitation programs to your loved ones. I recommend those centers that have staff that truly understands what drug addiction is all about.
