Importance of Writing Things Down

When you’re working in an office or even at home you have to be organized in some ways. I’m not telling you to become a machine or a computer but to become more orderly in your daily living and activities. One way of being organized is to write things down.

When I was still working in office my staff would comment on my writing every important detail that should be noted and remembered. I was known to have a photographic memory since I was in my primarily school but I still write things down because I want my mind to be free of clutter. It helps me to accommodate more things in my mind if I noted everything down in my notebook.

Everyday of my working life I would write the date and the things to do for the day and take note of the callers, billing due dates, clients to email and followup collection, important dates to remember and the special notes for my boss. Being an officer in the company with many tasks assigned I wouldn’t be able to handle it all if my mind is cluttered and the notes that I wrote helped me in many ways. If there’s something amiss in our works and we need previous information I can look back with the help of my notes. My boss knows it and sometimes he referred to it on critical moments.

You don’t need an elaborate system. Anything that comes up that you may need for future situation just write it down. Don’t worry about grouping the tasks you’ve written there. Just do all the recording and you’ll soon be thankful in the future that you have organized yourself in the habit of writing things down.

Part of Growing Up

I’m chatting with my friend and she asked me about her teenage daughter’s skin problems I told her to consult dermatologist or if she has time she can visit www.acnecuresrevealed.net so she’ll know the best treatment for her daughter’s acne problems. She can ask her doctor if the treatments are safe and guaranteed to give good results.

I was thinking that maybe after few years I would be asking the same question as my eldest daughter will soon be entering teenage years and it’s one of the normal problems of the kids in their adolescence period. It’s part of growing up. I was lucky not to encounter too much of pimple problems as I had it once or twice only unlike others who had to consult skin doctor to get rid of those acne and pimples.

Planning for Cleansing Diet

I’ve started again my new plan of healthy diet and I’m readying myself for my cleansing diet in the next few weeks. I’m wise enough not to start immediately on my plan as I will be unprepared for it if I do it now. I must start taking my food in halves then limit it a quarter before taking my one week fruit cleansing diet. I’ve read some allireviews.com and I’m decided to take my diet naturally as it’s safer and healthier. I really want my colon to be cleansed and the right way is to go on cleansing diet. It will be a week of eating fiber-rich fruits only. For now I’m consulting MIL because she’s done it several times and I’ve noted the kinds of fruits I should be taking and some of them are apple, pineapple, citrus, pears and some veggies like cucumber and carrots. Hope I can start as soon as possible so I will be healthier!

:FF/FTP : Chicken Cordon Bleu

This is one of the potluck foods in our 50th alumni and I haven't posted it because I'm not sure of the name of this food. It was ordered from Wow-Lu restaurant and from what I've tasted from it's made of potatoes and chicken shreds. It's a finger food and so yummy good that it's gone in several minutes.

Anyway my friend used to work as part-time party coordinator in some of the restaurant's birthday and wedding caterings and she supplied me with a name for this one. It's a chicken cordon bleu according to her. Well I was assuming that it's a potato something name but as my friend Jannet told me it's a chicken cordon bleu. Thanks friend for the name and I hope it's right lol!

Now I was thinking of ordering it for Mom's birthday so I can confirm it's name. I can't contact my classmate who ordered it so is there anyone here who can confirm me?

My Kids' Dreams and Inclination

I had a lazy conversation with my kids after our early dinner and they’re asking me what course I think is good for them. I told them to study the course that they want, follow their heart and inclination. Ruth wanted to follow my footsteps and she want to take Computer Engineering while my other girl Gen wants to take Computer management. My little boy who always draw beautiful houses on his paper wanted to be an architect someday. I just told them to study hard and don’t ever think of other things than their dream of getting a degree.

With regards to where they will study I told them that many schools have their own expertise. There are schools that specializes in business, others in technology, some in medicine and there is Cosmetology school in Arkansas which is for those who specializes in beauty. There are hundreds of other schools who caters to varying specialization and it’s up to students what career they should be entering.

Suffering from Back and Joint Pains

For days now I’m having a problem with my back and it’s the same back pain that I suffered when I was working in a consultancy company. We were always beating the deadline and as such we always worked the night away spending nights in front of PC working endlessly just to finish bidding documents. Now due to tons of offline and online tasks I suffered again and I know it’s due to over fatigue and some problem in my joints because lately I felt some pain my knees. Well my Mom is always complaining of her joints and I’m actually looking for the best joint supplements that would remedy her joint problem and relieve her of pains.

There are many products that we tried but we’re still searching for natural ingredients and safe medicine. I was always careful with giving medicines for my Mom and if I’m in doubt of the contents and effects I will not have her take it. Sometimes to play safe we resort to liniments just to relieve her of muscle and joint pains. Now I’m thinking if I’ve inherited my back and joint pains from my Mom. I hope not.

God Keep Us Safe!

I was chatting with a blogger friend when I heard some commotion going on outside our house. I checked on the road outside and the big smoke several meters away frightened me. I surmised that it’s on the next barangay from us and I was worried because my friend Annie lives there. The memory of the last fire that happened here in our place is still fresh on my mind and the victims of the fire were still reconstructing their house and then another fire! What a day!

As what I’ve done on the last fire that hit our community I didn’t panicked but prayed to God that this disaster would pass us shortly without harming anyone. And it did! God is good all the time! After several minutes only the fuming black giant smoke that we see from our house was gone. When I checked on the clock it didn’t reached an hour. Praise God!

Garden Ponds

I love seeing different kinds of ponds whether it’s a garden pond, fish pond or waterfall pond only. But we don’t have one in our house because it needs full care and maintenance. I would also need garden pond filter if I decide to have one in our garden. For now I will be contented with our current garden and will plan on constructing a garden pond with beautiful flowers when I have the time to keep it in perfect condition. Ponds are refreshing to look at.

Effects of Sun’s Heat on Me

I stayed quite awhile after midnight to do invoice for the company I’ve worked for. I didn’t feel good yesterday after my visit to my former office because the sun’s heat caught me bad. I have a slight fever in the night and it was before midnight when I had the strength to open my PC to check my mails and do the invoice. I know that this overtime will give me dark circles in my eyes and I was surprised that my eyes are good when I wake up. I thought I will need under eye cream after two successive overnight blogging because my eyes easily develops circles under it when I work after midnight.

Anyway I had a deep peaceful sleep for more than four hours and it’s enough to give me strength so I think that must be the reason why my eyes were not affected. I still have some mild back pain but I managed to rub down few drops of chili liniment to give me deep heating stimulation. I’m just praying that I’ll be well enough now to work on my tasks.

I was intrigued by the shape of this grass when I took the shot and it was some seconds before I surmised that it's indeed a spider-shaped grass specially cut and shaped to look like a spider. I find these Green spider grass unique and quite beautiful in its own way. As my little boy loves super heroes specially Spiderman he was excited to see this shot. This shot was taken in my little boy's educational tour in Bio Research in Parañaque.
