Ruth's Birthday!

It’s Ruth’s birthday today and I was very busy as she celebrated it partially in school with some of her classmates and in our house with family only. I cooked very early before lunch so I can bring pasta and bread to her classmates before their lunch break. Half of the class is going home at lunchtime so it’s easier to manage her birthday there. I was on time-pressure as I also need to finish some due tasks online but decided to leave some when I get back. Mommies should really be on a fast-move track to do everything in time, wish I hired the magic wand of fairy godmother lol!Anyway I reached the school before 12 noon and made Ruth very happy as seen from the look on her eyes which also took away all the tiredness in my body, seeing my kids happy is all I need to feel contented. I also dropped by bes JennyL to bring her some pasta for snack. I decided not to invite anyone so I just deliver snack to some of my friends and family.

As my girls went home before 6pm we started the blowing of candles and eating after they arrived with just me, Ruth, Josh and my Mom. When hubby arrived we went to a nearby Jollibee and ordered mostly desserts because we’re full from Ruth’s birthday foods back home. It’s nice to dine in fast-food after dinner time as people are fewer and the staff is relaxed. We really had a nice time there because we’re not in a hurry; just want our kids to enjoy the moment. Ruth turns 12 today and it’s her final year of being a girl. Next year she’ll enter secondary school and teenage years but for now I want to enjoy my first baby before she turns into a young lady!

On Discovering Illegal Activities

If there’s anything that I think is a lot of help in fighting crime and illegal matters it is in investigating and monitoring the activities of suspected group of people. I’ve been watching a late show on weekends featuring crimes and illegal activities that were caught in the act. It was for me a risky job for the people who are doing it but it was also a courageous act. I was amazed at their style of doing it using private people to pose as customers with hidden camera inside their clothes so they can have evidences of the illegal acts committed. Then they will use it to report to law authorities for further investigation and proof for issuing warrant of arrest.

Due to curiosity on this little piece of helpful gadgets I browsed online for some information and I’ve found out that there are various types of spy camera available depending upon the user’s needs. I’m amazed at the maker’s ideas of using ordinary simple things to hide the spy camera. I’ve browsed for some of their designs and found some really nice ones looking like air ionizer, tissue box, pen, watch and body worn button/screw cameras which are perfect for surveillance. It’s dependable enough to capture and store needed videos. It can also be used on offices and in your own homes.

:WS - Induction of Officers

VenueInduction of General PTCA officers by Hon. Mayor Mon IlaganShort speech by Hon. Gov. Casimiro Ynares Jr.

Our group Grade V-1 level (before induction)During induction

We had the first ever induction of officers where all homeroom officers from all grade level and section were included not just the usual general PTCA officers. The only difference is that the general PTCA were inducted on the stage and all homeroom were there offstage because we're 200 plus in numbers. All previous induction only includes general PTCA officers but since we're aiming for a general project which we're requesting from our municipality and provincial desk we organized a rare occasion like this.

We're assigned in the food committee which made it more difficult for us in grade V level (orange group) because we didn't expected a very big crowd and we used all our budgeting skills and talents to serve the foods to them. Oh boy that's too much! I was tired from head to toes! Lucky that one of us cooked baked macaroni for our food after the event or else we're gonna be starved. Though we're tired and haggard after the event and dismayed that I didn't get a pic with mayor and young governor we were happy enough. We were laughing happily at our faults and experiences in serving the food. We'll get more organized and possibly better next time! Next time? Hope we'll not be in the food committee again :-) Wishes!

Feeling Healthy with Proper Diet

When my resignation was approved and I was asked to at least stay for one whole month to turn over my work I felt very happy and can’t believe that after one year and 2 months my request for resignation was finally approved. I didn’t want to leave the company without the true approval of my boss, that’s actually the reason why it took me so long to realize my dream.

I planned my last one month to be my most hectic days but it’s not until I have reached my half month that I finally had the time to do it all. Bad thing about me is that if I’m overworked I eat a lot too, may be that’s my rebelling moments of my overstressed mind. I’m thinking then how to lose belly fat without enrolling in a gym class or without proper exercises. Then I thought of adopting fruit and vegetables’ diet and now I can say I’m starting to lose some pounds as weeks go by. I’m happy with my adopted diet plan as I’m feeling healthy everyday with what I’m eating.

Finest Inspirational Music

It’s nice to do blogging while listening to inspirational music, it gives me lots of ideas to write and makes my day inspiring too. I was by the way accompanied by Josh as his preparatory classes ended at 10am. After doing all his assignments by my side he’ll choose among the CDs we have, his favorite is Don Moen’s songs, of course one of my favorite also. He’s very happy with our new JVC components and not a day passes that he’ll go over our Christian CDs to listen and sing along.

Actually I play all my CDs in my PC while I’m doing online jobs and blogging but lately I’m not getting the finest sounds I want from my PC speaker so we decided to buy the mentioned components which was on sale at around 60% off the original price from Automatic Center in North Edsa. It's not the best and the latest model but it's what we only need, no more no less. It was a good buy for us and we used credit card at 6-months plan with no interest rate. Great deals right?

Emergency Funds

You’ll never really know sometimes when emergency situation arises and you’re left with no money available to use for certain cases like that. It’s good if you have saved some money for extra needs but if you didn’t whose going to save you from your dilemma. When I was still working I’ve known some people in the same company who would risk giving their ATM cards as collateral just to be given a cash advance with high interest to pay for. Well I can’t blame them as a person who really needs money badly can enter a risky agreement like that. At least they have their incoming salaries to pay back cash advances.

Many similar cases happened to my friends as they really need to make both ends meet, those petty cash problems that need immediate funding. Oh well life in the office world is really like that, sometimes your salary is just enough to pay your bills and expenses, you can’t save anymore and in some cases it’s not sufficient! It’s good to know that in case of emergencies they can always avail of payday loans to help them with small emergency needs. That will make life easier to live with.

Arranging Few Important Things

After my resignation I’ve arranged few things that need immediate attention like reminding my former office about my certifications for employment, SSS/HDMF/Philhealth contributions. I need to have these certifications because I’m going to continue them even if I’ve retired from office employment. Actually I’ve completed the needed number of months for SSS early retirement and will just have to wait for my age maturity to avail my premiums. As soon as I’ve graduated from college I immediately landed a job that’s why I’ve enough premium contributions. But I want to continue paying and my family agreed with my decision as it’s a security also for me and my family.

I also added a personal bank account in my list as I’m using a payroll account for my income proceeds, then I added it to my paypal. It’s easy to add bank account in your paypal, you just have to know the list of bank codes available here in the Philippines and you’ll have it added in your paypal bank lists.

Visiting NYC

It’s lovely to travel abroad and roam around popular cities on your vacation. My friend used to do this when she’s feeling overworked and stressed out. Her sister lives in New York so the best choice for her destination is there as she’ll have no problem with accommodation and everything. When she planned for her vacation in her sister’s house she made it sure that she book a transportation service from airport to her sister’s apartment and onwards to beautiful places that she wants to visit. Her sister don’t always have time to drive for her and sometimes her target place would mean a long drive so she just book online for a Car Service NYC to take her to wherever she want to go and visit. My friend is a very independent woman and she didn’t want to impose too much attention even to her siblings.

Anyway as it’s not her first time to be in the Big Apple she knows what to do and that is booking online ahead of time for Go Airlink NYC, a transportation service from the airport throughout New York City and surrounding suburbs. They offer and provide convenient, reliable and affordable transfer from airport to wherever she wanted to go. It’s really convenient for many of our travelers to be able to hire a good transportation service that will also take care of their travel, vacation and visits to popular cities like NYC. Tours can be worthwhile when you’re in good and reliable hands and as for my friend who loves to visit NYC it’s really worth her while. She loves it!
