Thursday Challenge : Male (Church Brothers)

These are my fellow brethren in the church, most of them here are our ministers in our church., deacons and the young ministers. This photo was taken during our December Camp Meeting in Villa Dominga Forest Resort in Indang, Cavite just beside Tagaytay City where we had our camp fellowship for three days. This was our last day and this was shot before we travel back to our homes. You can see their faces here enjoying the photo session :-). It was an enjoyable camp fellowship there last December last year and we've booked again for next December.

Xbox 360

I’m not so keen on playing online games because I spent my time reading books and online studying. I prefer surfing different sites than spending my time gaming. But with my kids of course they love games so much even if I only allow them only on weekends because I can monitor them what kind of games they played. They’re contented enough to surf games over the net because they’re still young but when I asked my teenager nephew he wants XBox because he can play games, compete with other players online and enjoy multi-media.

I browsed through sites which offered Xbox 360 and found out that there are consoles and accessories aside from the games that they sell. Now upon checking available games my nephew decided on racing games just like my choice. Anyway there’s a lot to choose from and you can pick by piece or buy a bundle which for me is a good deal. One good thing is it’s not just games and songs but you can also watch HD TV shows and movies. That’s a lot for a good deal price.

: Food Friday - Kare-Kare

This is my Mom's favorite recipe 'Kare-kare' which my old work friends brought on my Mom's birthday. Instead of bringing cake they chose to bring this because I told them she's not fond of sweets. It's also my specialty but since I'm too busy with other preparations on her May birthday I opted to assign this to my friends - clever huh :-) With this they used the 'twalya' instead of my recipe which uses pork hind and some lean meat. We love kare-kare in our house because it has everything in it, vegetables,, pork and a very yummy peanut sauce. How about you?

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

Rare Coins

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.

Some find it safe to invest on lots, houses, jewelries but others discovered investing on high-quality rare coin. Monex made it possible for anyone to invest online on precious metals such as rare coins, silver, gold and platinum bullion coins. These metals appreciate value over the years and investing on it will give you a sure good profit after several years. Why invest on something that’s not stable when you can be assured on a safe investment.

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!
