Safety First!

My brother runs a construction company where danger is not that far from them especially if they’re working on a multi-storey building. Being with this business for so many years he knows perfectly the dangerous part of construction and of course the delicate parts of the body that should be given extra protection.

When I asked him what's the most crucial parts that must be protected by safety equipment he answered head and face protection. So when my brother starts a delicate part of the construction he see to it that his staff in-charge must have their hard hats, headgear, bump camps and all safety gears needed to ensure safety.

:WW-Paintings (Nipa Hut By The River)

This painting reminds me of our old wall paintings when I was very young displayed in our old ancestral spanish house. When our house was renovated in late '70s I can still remember it hanging in our second floor living room but as the years passed by we just decided to store it. When I saw this painting I fell in love with the sceneries of old years and the artists really gave it an old-times ambiance, makes me yearn for my uncle's house in the province.

Guess I'll share this with you guys together with another painting in Moments of My Life!

The Spirit of BEAR-iuca

Got this from my other blog Moments of My Life and thought of joining My Crossroads here, anyway Mariuca's bear is cute :-). Just join us if you want!

-START COPYING HERE-

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a powerful Genie Princess named Mariuca who was known throughout the land as the friendliest, most popular blogger in the blogosphere kingdom. Adored and admired by international visitors and commentators from around the world, the Genie Princess travels the blogosphere on her magical flying carpet, always looking for ways to share her good fortune with others.

Over the past two years of blogging, Mariuca has met so many new people, from all walks of life and all over the world, each one bringing a little of their culture and lifestyle when they visit and comment on Mariuca’s two sites. So on her 2nd Blog Anniversary, Mariuca wanted to celebrate with all of her international blogosphere buddies by hosting a bear-naming contests at Wishing On A Falling Star and Mariuca’s Perfume Gallery and to pass her two lucky, cuddly teddy bears along to the winners who came up with the best names.

On the opposite side of the world, from the moment Roxy (the prolific Roxiticus Desperate Housewives blogger) and her sweet daughters London and Maddie saw the teddy in his personalized t-shirt and blue muffler at Wishing On A Falling Star, they knew that he needed to come to live with their family in Mendham, NJ. The three New Jersey girls named him immediately and burst into a wonderful song for BEAR-iuca:

BEAR-iuca, BEAR-iuca, amazing teddy cheer.
BEAR-iuca, BEAR-iuca, we’d love you to come live here!

Mariuca received 16 possible names for the Mariuca Teddy Bear, making it hard for the Genie Princess to choose just one…then Alakazam! A bolt of lightning delivered the perfect way to share BEAR-iuca’s good fortune to bloggers around the globe. While the soft, stuffed, cuddly BEAR-iuca is on his way to live with Roxy, London, Maddie and Rex in the Roxiticus Valley, the Spirit of BEAR-iuca is racing through the blogosphere to bring happiness, holiday cheer, and beary best wishes to everyone who welcomes him into their online home and passes along the BEAR-iuca good luck charm to ten friends.

Please play along with us by following a few important rules:

1. Add your site(s) to the list once you have received the Spirit of BEAR-iuca badge of teddy bear cheer.
2. Pass along the Spirit of BEAR-iuca and his cheery badge to as many people as you like.
3. Leave a comment HERE once you’ve passed on the Spirit of BEAR-iuca.
4. Once Roxy and the Genie Princess have visited your site to make sure your links are complete and proper, you will then be added to the Master List.
4. To ensure everyone receives equal link benefit, please UPDATE your list regularly!

:Food Friday

It's cake once again and this time it's a Mango Mambo from Las Paellas. Actually I was ordering blueberry cheesecake but unfortunately they run out of stock so I ordered this mango flavored cake instead. What a nice shift coz i found this refreshingly yummy cake so delightful because it's a perfect match to steak, it erases the strong-flavored taste of Pork Andaluz and gave me a feeling of satisfaction of having eaten a fresh fruity cake.

Sorry for the not so clear pic because I used a mobile cam instead of a digicam, sometimes I got shy and feel a little bit awkward to take pictures of food on restaurants because I don't like the stares of the people dining there lol!

Happy Friday to all! Enjoy your weekend;)

Photo Book

I was so excited by JennyL’s news that there’s a site that makes photo book for just the price of shipping fee. It’s actually a promo price and she told me to prepare at least 20 pages of 8 x 8 picture, a collage or a digiscrap will be good for the photo book. She also suggested that I try scrapbooking so I can use it for my kids’ album. It was a very pretty idea and I’ll do it next year when my work loads become lighter. As of now I’ll just do simple collage arrangement for the photo book.

Dansko Shoes

Holiday is coming and online shopping will be a big help for those people who don’t have much time to spend days in malls and stores to buy things for their family and friends. I also have the habit of searching online sales and great deals because I want to spend my money wisely this holiday season. I’ve found some nice Dansko shoes which offers variety of goods for the whole family starting from infants. I actually love the pink shoes for infants.

:Today's Flowers #17

This is White Chrysanthemum picture taken in our church. This is one of my favorite flowers, I started to like this when at the age of 13 I've watched and loved the play titled 'Princess Chrysanthemum'. I can't forget how the leading artist (a student in our school) there played the part of the princess who is as beautiful as this flower with snow white petals and pretty blooms. After that play I asked my Mom if she could buy me a chrysanthemum, since then it's one of my preferred flowers in buying aside from white roses.

See my other entry at Moments of My Life.
