Adjustment to Changing Weather

My niece is having some uncomfortable moments whenever it’s too cold or too hot, she seems to have some hardship in adjusting to extreme weather. Just now she’s sneezing and starting to have coughs because she was exposed to cold air at night when she goes home after work. I told her that it’s better to stay at home for few days until she’s well. Now she’s slowly adjusting to changing weather and was happy to find the best allergy relief whenever she has some skin allergy all over her face and body.

What Type of Chocolate Dessert I Am!

You Are a Chocolate Covered Strawberry

Compared to most people, you are very disciplined and restrained.
You aren't easily tempted, and you never go overboard. Moderation is key for you.

You are lighthearted and easy going. You don't have a lot of baggage... very little weighs you down.

You are pretty sweet, but you're also quite spunky. You are naturally complex.

Well this one says a lot about me as if it's a real psychology test as most of the characteristics in the test results fits me. If you want to know what type you are you can take the test here!

Better Opportunities

Back to work now after the fellowship vacation which gave me new energy and strength to face daily challenges and problems. We arrived Sunday night but I didn’t do my online tasks right away I just checked my emails and started my tasks only tonight. It’s just that the holiday season is taking up so much of my time that my schedule is up to my neck. I’m glad that I didn’t have to report to my office after my holiday vacation because I’m just working at home and I can plan my own schedule of working just like what I’m doing now.

I find myself lucky with my present situation now and I’m sharing it with my friends who are looking for new jobs now outside the country. They heard some good paying work in jobs philadelphia and they want to try their luck abroad. It’s a normal story here in our place when employees can’t seem to get to augment their financial status. They think that working abroad can help their lives get better even if it would mean sacrifice of not seeing their families for years.

Better Bathrooms for Your Homes

As we’re heading to our church camp meeting in Cavite we checked all sections and corners of the house for safe precautions just in case we miss electrical plugs or phones currently charging. Anyway it’s not as if there’s nobody in the house for the long holidays as there will be some family members that will stay in our house while we’re away. We just want to assure ourselves that we’re leaving the house safe and sound. Everything is fine and in good condition because we just had some renovation in the house and my brother’s workers checked everything that need repairs. The renovation includes our bathroom which is more like a construction as it’s so bare. Another project that we had is our fences and gates which was destroyed because of the recent road widening.

We’re happy with the results because the workers who worked for us seem very well concentrated on doing a very nice job. What I like most on the past few weeks’ work was our bathroom renovation as this part of the house is really important and can give you so much comfort. Before the renovation I’ve browsed online for some ideas and I’m glad that I’ve found BetterBathrooms.com which provides selection of BathroomSuite, furniture, shower systems, fixtures and more. They’re now offering great deals on their stock clearance sale of bathroom suites and they give 20% off on bathroom tiles upon purchase of their bathroom suite. Wow that’s really quite a deal and for a quality product. Anyway our bathroom is still on the finishing touches and I could add some nice furnishings from them!

Away for the Holidays!

We're getting ready for our long travel and I've spent the last few days preparing for our things and essentials as we'll be staying in far place away from the bustling city of Metro. As I'm writing this we're packing our bags, food and clothings. We'll be staying in Villa Dominga Forest Resort in Indang, Cavite and we'll be sleeping on tents. In a few hours we'll head off South of Luzon and spend our four days in the camp. Friends I'll be visiting you next week. I wish you all peace, love and happiness this Christmas.

Getting Ready for the Long Travel

Few days from now we’ll be heading to our camp site on the highlands of Indang, Cavite near Tagaytay City and we’re so happy that despite of not having our car restored to its normal state we were able to hire my brother’s extra car. It’s actually a better one as it’s a pickup car that’s so perfect to carry heavy loads and if you can imagine our essentials, food, beddings and clothings for a four-day stay at the camp you would probably say that it’s the best to carry on long and heavy baggage travel.

Last Sunday our church mate who knows a lot about car maintenance checked and fixed our break, tail and park lights. We’ve also noticed a not-so good wiper so we’re also fixing them up. We should be thinking and checking all possible fixing as we don’t want to catch trouble on the road. We always follow the blow bag rule which is the acronym that stands for checking up battery, lights, oil, water, brake, air (for tires) and gasoline whenever we travel for long distance destination. It’s also best if we can have travel insurance for a safer and worry-free travel local and international.

:Food Friday - Spareribs in Milk

This is one of my favorite part of the pork meat, the spareribs and this recipe is just one of the many recipes you can make out of spareribs. It's simple to cook this. You only saute spices, put on the meat and add coconut milk and the usual sat, pepper and msg. Well the rest is up to you if you want to add some veggies.

My Mom used to cook this one for us back when we were younger and up to when she's strong enough to cook for us. She's not that frail or weak now but we just told her that it's better if she rest on cooking. Actually upon telling her that she seems happier that I can take upon her duty in the family to cook lol! And when I say cook I mean cooking on occasions also including cooking for 50-100 people when the need arises. Well it's ok as cooking is one of my stress therapy and one of my favorite hobbies.

Happy Food Friday to all, see other yummy foods here!
