Creative Friend

I’ve been sorting out old things in our stock room and found some old precious memoirs of my school days. I remember putting them all in one box last year for safety because I was avoiding sudden floods then and putting them on the upper floors would ensure safe keeping. It uncovers past happy and memorable days especially the cards that I received from close friends in school including recycled Christmas cards from one friend that used to experiment doing creative things from old stuff. He love giving his original creations to his classmates and even sells some of them to make some money out of it. I wonder where he is now. Maybe he has a nice art shop now.

Security of Gadgets

I’m again looking at various sites selling high tech gadgets and innovative products. Of course I can’t help browsing iPad sites, who wouldn’t dream of having one. Well it’s too expensive for me so I guess I have to content myself on window shopping only. Although I can save funds for it I know that there are priorities in life that should be taken care first like the kids’ education and our newly-bought pickup from my dear brother. I was actually informed that there are locally made ones in one country but there’s no ipad warranty for a year. The manufacturer only warrants for one month only, well if ever I’ll want one I want the original because I would want to enjoy using it for years and I will surely get insurance for it. That’s for safety and security of gadgets.

The Value of Gold

Sometimes our hobbies can give us considerable amount of money when we least expect it. My friend collects the same old coins as I have but when an old coin collector approached and offered to buy her collections she gave some. They were having some problems then because her sister needs big amount of money for her last tuition fee before she graduates. She sold it for a good amount that saved her family from thinking where will they get money from. Although she lost half of her most precious collections she will always remember that those old coins paved the way for her sister’s college graduation. Actually she didn’t know that she could raise that amount by selling her old coins. 

 

She’s now collecting old coins again and contemplating on buying gold coins because she realized the value of gold. She’s thinking that it may save them again in the next few years when they need immediate cash. Gold is a sure investment because it increases its value over the years which will give the collector high profit returns for his capital.

The Risks of Work

It’s rewarding to have a stable job because you can rely upon your salary for your basic needs in the house and your family’s needs. I’ve experienced to be employed for 16 long years and that job helped me support my family needs. I was grateful for my employer for the trust he has given me while I was employed there. I just need to leave my corporate life for a much needed call to attend to my responsibilities of a mother and a daughter. I have to take care of my children and to guide my Mom in some things. 

It’s good if your employer knows how to take care of your needs and rights as an employee unlike those who employed their workers in industries involved in asbestos because they let their staff be exposed in dangerous asbestos without proper dissemination of information that it’s risky. Now all those workers who became victims of asbestos should get Mesothelioma lawyer to help them get fair justice for the sickness incurred from exposure to asbestos. They’ll help the victims get compensation for incurred damages. I’m glad that this element was banned from usage now because when I think of the effect it might bring to human I cringe.

Investing While Working

When I’m still working in my previous job I used to talk with my long-time friend in the company who is a lot older than me in the company. He’s staying there because he didn’t know what to do when he left the corporate world. He’s saving money for the time that he’ll not be able to work. I told him that as early as now even while he’s still employed he can invest on some sure investment like house and lot or buy bullion from USGold Bureau and you’re sure to have high returns of capital. Gold and precious metals are known to increase their values over the years so it must be a real good investment.

:Friday Fill-Ins#193

So...here we go!

1. My back pain was healed by my Mom's massage therapy and caring hands of course!

2. We're planning to bring the little boy to wildlife and parks, a mini zoo in the heart of the city.  We can also have picnic there.

3. Leaves are falling all around, and I love the beauty and smell of the dry and fallen leaves of fall.

4. It's best if we let the bad memories be drowned in the sea of  forgetfulness.

5. Healing is forever if it's from God.

6. Attending mini-reunion and meeting up school friends  is what I've been up to lately!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to reducing my long list of tasks if I will not be able to finish them, tomorrow my plans include teaching Gen with basic operations of MS Word for her contest and meeting up blogger friends and Sunday, I want to concentrate on my Sunday service, no work!

After The Chills

I had some chills last week. I’m always like that every time I’m over fatigued and lack of sleep. Sometimes I wish there’s an electric fireplace in our house to keep me warm when I’m cold. They say that chills are indication or symptoms that I have sickness inside my body but I really don’t feel I have it. Actually I think the chills serve as my body’s outlet for whatever stress and tiredness I had for the day because after the chills I’ll be sleeping soundly and will wake up feeling so good. I don’t want to think that it has some connection to sickness or whatever unhealthy symptoms. I know God will always take care of me.

Remembering Holiday Activities

In less than three months now we’ll have the busiest and most festive holiday of the year. I remember dreading this holiday when it comes to work because I don’t like their setup on giving gifts to clients and associates of the company. It’s always stressful because it’s often close to vacation dates and sometimes when I arranged my birthday celebration which is a few days before Christmas it usually coincide with us rushing to get the gifts packed, named and delivered.

Anyway there are more happy memories like celebrating my birthday on the same day of our company party and hundreds of employees greet me with special mention from my dearest boss. It’s also the time when that I receive promotional products and gifts from our clients and providers. Most of them became my friends and they like including me in their gift list. Sometimes I miss those times when I and my office friends attend our company party because I get to see those employees working in remote areas but I really love my life now. I simply enjoy holidays with my family, friends, school mates and church mates without stress, just pure fun and lots of expenses.

The Paint Daub Test

You Are Energetic

You are bright and motivated. You have a lot you want to do and the drive to get it all done.
You may or may not be successful in the traditional sense, but you measure up to your own ideas of success.

You have trouble getting along with people who are boring or lazy. You want to be where the action is.
You connect best with other high achieving types. You like to be around people who aren't just talk.

If that will connect to my being workaholic I supposed I'm really an energetic kind.  I always give my best on all of my works and I do it  with honesty while maintaining good relationship with my colleagues.  I really don't like lazy co-workers because working means doing all that's required and expected of you.  Some people I know want high salaries and promotions but they don't work as much as their desired salaries.  I believe in working for your dreams.
