With the present economy we have now people are getting wiser with their finances. As permanent employment becomes unstable these days we can’t rely on our present work to sustain our family’s daily needs. With the massive layoff and termination people tend to invest on safer grounds.

I ♥ Faces-Let's Hear It For The Boys (Kids)

KIDS CATEGORY

This is my favorite boy simply because he's my one and only Josh. I have two equally favorite daughters :-). Josh was only a year and a half here and he keeps on pointing at me to take his photo he doesn't want any other to shoot a picture of him. Of course he's comfortable with me taking his photos. I just love his eyes and smile here, a captured innocence of baby! It's a good thing I have many pictures of him since he was just a baby because when he grows old it will be easy to remember his baby face with my photo collection.

My Discipline Style

I happen to came across this quiz through my friend Cecile and took this one, here's the result (we're the same):

You're a Moderate Mom

You pay attention to the parenting books -- and you cut your kids some much-needed slack when necessary. Here are some ways to encourage even better behavior. 1. Let them help. Little kids are more likely to be cooperative when they feel as if they're part of the game. If your toddler is underfoot while you're preparing dinner, have him fold some napkins and place them on the table. 2. Foster empathy. A child who understands that others have feelings similar to his own will learn to treat people the way he wants to be treated. If a sibling has a cold, you could say, "Emily feels bad because she has a cold. What can we do to make her feel better?" 3. Be kind. Kids copy everything you do, and they want to be just like you. Small acts of kindness -- an extra smile for the mailman, or holding the door for someone -- will inspire your child to do the same. This quiz is for entertainment and/or educational purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for informed medical advice or care. You should not use this information to diagnose or treat any health problems or illnesses without consulting your pediatrician or family doctor. Please consult a doctor with any questions or concerns you might have regarding your or your child's condition.

POS Systems

Running a large scale business or even just an average grocery store takes a lot of perseverance, effort and finances. The owner should have feasibility studies first before starting a business to carefully planned and gauge the advantages and disadvantages of many things concerning your own business. After all whatever happens it’s your money which is at stake. Feasibility studies should include the location, products or services, prospect clients and number of staff you’ll be getting.

In a simple grocery store you should know how to minimize the employment of staff by getting modern technology equipment to help you with. I’ve known a friend who started his business with minimum staff hired but he invested in a computerized POS systems to take care of the things needed to keep his business running in good condition. Of course these things include generation of purchase orders, sales tracking and inventory. He told me that he doesn’t have to hire many employees to maintain the upkeep of his business as his equipment minimizes mistakes and provided him with quick and dependable checking out. Good for him to have that kind of investment.

Happy Father's Day

To all fathers out there who devoted their time to their children and wife with lots of love and dedicated their life to their family with dignity and respect I salute you. As my father passed away already for more than ten years now I was just as happy to remember all the love and caring he showed us especially to me whom he always referred to as his junior even if I'm a girl. I cannot remember a time that he's not proud of me and my siblings. For him we're the best even if at times we had our flaws and mistakes along the way. We love you Tatay!

: Food Friday - Milkfish in Miso

Though it's one of my favorite dishes it's my first time to cook Bangus in Sinigang sa Miso. My Mom used to cook this one but since she's relaxing in her life and leave the cooking to me I tried doing this one of her. My Mom always wants to eat fish and vegetable so everyday I thought of a dish that would suit her. She told me that she has a slight headache and her taste bud doesn’t want anything to eat but when I cooked this one of her she ate with gusto. Cooking is always a pleasure when you satisfy your family.

Happy Food Friday to all, see other delicious food here!

I ♥ Faces - Sepia Toned

This is one of my favorite pic of Gen, my second child whom they always refer as my look-alike when I was a kid. If you've known me when I was a kid and you'll see her now no doubt you'll agree. We have the same height, body, boyish manners and ways, sense of humor and many says the looks.

I must admit though that she's a lot prettier than me because she got half of her looks to her father, she got her dimples from my mother-in-law and her complexion from my mom. All blended into my little princess Gengen!

:WS - They Love Music!

Everytime my kids visit my big brother's house they always sit on the piano and play as if they know how to play it. Here's Ruth and Josh posing for me to have them pictured at the piano. They love it.

This piano was my father's piano way back 1945 which kuya restored and have it tuned to perfect condition. His three children are studying piano and they're very keen on playing it especially my eldest nephew Raph who knows at least 5 musical instruments. It's in my mom's blood and our children inherited that flair for music. My grandpa used to play alpha and some instruments on his prime.

Causes of Mesothelioma

From what I remember from my childhood there’s a lot of industries that uses asbestos which they commonly called as a miracle mineral. Why this mineral was referred to as a miracle? Asbestos when it was discovered was found to have many wonderful uses in workplaces, buildings, residential houses and industries. I know it as a means of diminishing the heat that’s why it was commonly used in ceilings. In this part of the world that’s a big help for us and it would minimize the use or airconditioner.

But the intelligence of man sometimes gives human being a hazard to their fellow because this miracle mineral was found to be a major hazard to human health. If a man inhaled this or was exposed to asbestos he’ll likely to have mesothelioma and lung cancer. Victims of this sickness were those people who worked in industries where exposure to asbestos particles happened. I also read that firemen who come to the rescue of a burning building with asbestos were at risk with mesothelioma. With this in my mind I was glad to know and was relieved that asbestos was already banned for usage. I just hope that those victims get help from the industries they’ve worked for.
