Curious as a Cat - Week#191

Week Number 191

1) What is the one thing you'd most like to change about the world?

I would want to change the way how people prioritize their time for God in their lives. People should devote Sunday as their day for praising and serving God. They should always remember that God has given us seven days and we took the 6 so the 7th day should be for Him to thank Him for all the blessings He bestowed in us on the week that passed.

2) Can you play a musical instrument? What instrument would you like to learn?

I don't play musical instrument though my ancestors are musicians. I want to learn how to play guitar and piano

3) Who was (or is) the scariest teacher you know?

My scariest teacher is my effective speech teacher in College, she's so scary that my friends and me shifted to another department to take up effective speech together with Banking and Finance students, we're all Computer Engineering students. I have a high school friend there so she helped us to get in their class.

Actually our scary teacher is not that intelligent or super bright but she has this attitude of making all students fail in her subject, we can't bear that attitude coz we're maintaining our high grades, we're on the quota course and we must have high grades on all our subjects be it major or minor.

We enjoyed our shift and made friends with our classmates in different course. We even improved ourselves because we had a very bright professor who handled and taught us perfectly but after the semester we were advised by our computer engineering dean not to do it again :-)

4) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

Is that a penquin? I presumed one is making a banner of penquins because there will be a great showcase of them playing or doing tricks :-)

Choosing House Appliances After the Storm

After the recent storms that devastated the whole country we were very selective in buying appliances and things needed in the house. Because of the flood that wrecked houses and disabled house items and appliances we now have different guidelines in buying new tables, cabinets and other house accessories. Now we’ve chosen to buy simple appliances and not the traditional bulky and heavy wood appliances that you can never carry during emergency.

For the cabinets the usual trend here in our place is buying durabox, sturdy plastic cabinets that are very light in weight but very dependable when it comes to storing things and clothes. Who would have thought that these plastics would boom as high in the market as now? When I bought one of those plastic cabinets I have to wait for the stock to deliver and had to call the store just to reserve one for me. They’re very in demand nowadays.

But for the entertainment appliances like components and television it’s still good to buy nice plasma mounts for your flat TV or LCD because you can put it in the wall or wherever you want. I think it’s safer in the wall if you must ask me.

Growing Up Fast

I visited some of the blogs that for the last three months I didn’t visit as often as I want due to a very busy schedule and plenty of tasks offline and online. Time flies so fast as when I visited one of my friend’s blog I was surprised at her daughter’s fast growing up. I know her daughter is the same age as my Josh but wow the girl has grown up so fast, I’m really surprised and I find her so cute in her Chinese outfit costume. I remember my daughters’ United Nations Day’s parade when they wear different countries’ costumes. I have to remind myself in the future to visit my friends’ sites so I won’t be surprised by things that happen so fast.

Should Follow Mom's Eating Habits

Since it’s a holiday today I thought it would be nice to cook one of their favorite viand. Sometimes I don’t cook at lunchtime because we were only three in the house and Mom doesn’t usually eat pork. She always wants vegetables and fish. She’s health-conscious that’s why up to now she has a healthy body and mind. At her age of 77 she still carries a very bright and sharp mind. She’s also physically healthy except for her rheumatism which limits her walking and traveling to distant places. Anyway I should be starting now to follow her food preferences and be like her so I’ll grow old healthy. If I eat fatty foods and too much pork I’m sure I’ll have a need for fat burner to get rid of cholesterol. I don’t have time to work out in gym much less enter a diet regimen taking pills so I’d better be watching the kind of food that I eat.

Project No. 1 Finished

My bathroom renovation project is finished except for the wall tiles which I’m going to start after my next project. I’ll have different workers for the walls so I decided to leave it until some weeks or months. My next project would be our fences and I still have to do plans on it before I’ll have it started. We’re planning if we will build a small store in front or just build a fence and reconstruct later.

We’re thinking carefully now and weighing things before pushing on my next project. I’ll rest myself for awhile with the renovation projects that I’m planning to concentrate on the blog that I’m working, I really need to update it so I can let others visit my new site. Anyway I’ll have to check this inquisition about electronic cigarette that my friend read about online. She’s so techie and anything electronic she wants to know about. I’ll have to inform her it is so she’ll stop asking me.

Scary Storms!

It's good that the storm has passed now that we're safe and nothing has happened to us. I'm rather surprised at the news this afternoon and evening that about 20 towns in Laguna were in floods. I immediately checked our hometown and relieved that it's not in the list. We're actually thinking of our relatives there and I'm glad that they're safe just like us here.

News on effects on storm terrifies me more than any Halloween shows and movies. After the wrath of two storms before Santi I believe that disasters are more frightening and scary than horror movies lol! Even if we're not affected I think of other victims, those families that been robbed of their homes by the onslaught of typhoon. I'm glad that it's over now.

:Food Friday - Sweet Pork and Green Salad

I don't know the name of this dish as I'm not the one who ordered this and it's my first time ever to eat there. This menu if from Outback restaurant in Libis where I had lunch with my bosses. We intended to eat in our favorite Causeway resto but we'll have to wait for three tables to vacate before we can eat so my boss changed our lunch venue. I was surprised he picked this resto because it's their competent as they owned a steakhouse also. Anyway he ordered big ribs on the barbie, tenderloin, fresh baked ziti, this sweet pork and green salad and fruit shakes.

I'm very fond of salad any salad that is! Be it green salad, fruit, buco, macaroni and any other salad I just love it. This one was served with sweet pork (I don't know the name of the menu here) and lettuce salad. All are deliciously prepared and originally flavored and we enjoyed our lunch. I just found the ribs too sweet for my liking.
