Must-Things to Do Before I Take Off!

Hello everyone! I hope you had great day  today. I had quite a relaxing one although I need to finish  some things that are very important. Days and nights are finally counted now. I am about to take off and I still need to finish these tasks below;

Finish Packing my Luggage
Oooppps, I already started this  a month  ago but still I am not fully done with it. Some more days from now and I will be leaving for my great travel this year.  It means  I  must  finish it tomorrow. This is also the reason why I need to go to sleep tonight so I  can wake-up early tomorrow.

Need to Go to the Doctor
This is also important. I need a  medicine that needs a doctor's prescription so I must do this on Tuesday.

Appointment to a Gynecology
Before leaving for this 6-week vacation, I must call my gynecology for an appointment and hope to have it  when I come back.

Grocery Shopping
Another very important thins to do. I need to stock some food for DH or else  he will be starving. lolz!

Need to Plant  some  Flowers
Now is spring and I bought  again some flowers to be planted. I must also do it tomorrow.

Finish the Laundry
This is not a big deal anymore. I only  have one more load to do tomorrow and I will be good.

Housekeeping
Oh yeah, I need to clean a bit my working room or computer room. I also need to do a little cleaning at home.

Fully Charge  all  my  Cameras and Cellphones
This is very important too! I need to charge all my cameras before I will pack them especially the chargers in my luggage.

I guess that is all for now. I believed I can finish  these all on Tuesday. More on that, I am  praying for  safe travels to  Asia which will commence so soon! Bless us Lord and cover us with your  Mantle of Protection! God bless everyone and have a wonderful week ahead!

Busy Sunday Doing Home Chores

Hello February! The love month is finally here! I just hope that you did had a wonderful month of January. So far, everything went great for me and I believed for my whole family as well. I am quite happy and contented with what I had accomplished last month. I might be little things only but for me those were already great ones. Besides, I learned to be contented with small things. We sometimes disregards little things but these are the things that are really important and make us truly happy. Well probably because, I only have shallow happiness.

Today is Sunday, the second day of February. Nature woke me up at 8:00 in the morning. I usually wake up at around 9 especially during weekends. Since I need to do some personal necessity this morning, I was forced to wake up to go to the bathroom. I did not went back to bed anymore and decided to take my tea time. While eating two toasted bread with butter and marmalade on it, I was also listening to the radio. There were  good songs played  that morning especially from Adele and Bastille.

After taking my light breakfast, I did the laundry. Now, it is done but still need to be folded. I was also dusting my ceramic and porcelain collections from Italy and Poland. The vitrine or glass cabinet was also cleaned. I can't imagined the dirt and dust with all of these stuffs. I am glad that I already started the ones in the dining room.

After that, I started cooking for lunch. I only cooked scrambled eggs with onion and tomato. I also had some bacon and German sausages. Since there were rice left-over, I did fried it and had a delicious fried rice with Paela powder.

This afternoon, I already started my online tasks including  blog hopping and updating some blogs as well. It is almost dinner time now. I need to prepare for dinner before DH comes.

Probably, this evening I will be watching  my favorite TV channel, the Welt Spiegel or World Mirror. It is actually a news reportage from around the world.

I guess that is all for now. I have to sign-off for awhile and prepare  our dinner. I wish everyone a great month of February, full of love, contentment, happiness and blessings!

Take care everyone!

So Many Things to Learn

Wow, here we are in the second week of the first BER month. When I say BER months, I mean September, October, November and December.  I hope you are having a wonderful start of September! I believed I am,  and hoping for the rest of the year  and all the years to come to be a great one.

So as  the title of my post here which says that there are so many things to learn in life. I agree that everyday is a process of learning and I am always happy to learn  new  things.

More on that, I wish I cam learn more about computer and things in the internet. I want to learn more the many facets in  blogging, like web hosting and related topics to it. I am always thankful to some good friends who are always helping me. Truly appreciate it.

There are just a lot of things to  learn in this life.   Sometimes, we also commit mistakes and I am always trying my best to learn from it.

I just wish that I can  learn more about blogging and its many facets. I simply love to blog and share my experiences of various kinds.

I wish you all a happy Sunday and enjoy the rest of the month!

Peace in this world!

Friday Etcetera!

Time truly flies so fast now! I hope the clock runs  a bit slower so that I don't  get old so fast too! Just kidding folks!  The past  days has been quite busy. I was doing some clean-up after  my thanksgiving birthday celebration.  It was so far the biggest party I held compared to the ones I hosted  the past years. I am glad that it went all good and I  believed all of the guests and visitors were happy.

Today, I  did some clean-up and organizing at home. I guess,  this is one of the home chores that will never end. I was cleaning the messy guest room. My stuffs were scattered in that room including  travel books and flyers, shoes, clothes, bedding  and  a lot more. I am still not done because at the same time, I was checking some important things online.

I am glad that I already started the organization today. I know  this is always a repetitive tasks but it is better that doing  nothing  at home.  This is one of the things that gets  rid  of my boredom. With  the many offline  and online tasks that are waiting for me,  I am thankful that  they always  keep me busy all the time!

Since August is almost ending, I would like to extend my wishes to everyone, a wonderful and more blessed month of September! Cheers!

Happy weekend too and goodnight!

Need to Print Labels

This is one thing I am planning to do. I wanted to organize many things especially in my working room which is also my computer room and my little library. I have a collection of books and magazines including travel books and guides. I also collect postcards from the countries I visited in the past. I believed I need a sort of a label printing online to slowly organize all my stuffs by labeling it. I already found a cheap printing at ZooPrinting.com. I have to think first the style and the color of the labels that will fit my working room.

Talk to you later folks because I need to find ideas about my labels. I know there are a lot to choose from and I wanted the best of it. Have a nice day!

Monday Etcetera!

We are entering again another week of the month. It seems that July is almost ending. I am not in a hurry  but it seems that times truly pass-by so quickly now.

I hope you are having a wonderful Monday! I  am glad  inspite of being busy the whole day today. I  am trying to do some clean-up. I made a mess around the house and I must clean it too. I am not done yet and hope to finish everything before my big day! yay!

My Blogs Were Gone

It happened last month when some of my blogs disappeared. I was kind of having a panic that time because I can no longer view and access my  7 blogs. Thanks to the data protection services provided by my hosting company. After calling them and around 30 minutes of waiting,  my blogs were alive again. It was truly a fast and excellent customer service.

I am also thankful to my blogger friend Carlota for always being there to help me when I have troubles in my blogs. You are simply great my friend and I truly appreciate all your help. I am just sad that I did not have the chance to meet you while I am here in the United States. Maybe next time again. It's a small world after all!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Earning Money Through Affiliates

It's been almost five years now since I started blogging. Actually if I have to count it, it is over five years now. My first blog was in Friendster. I started it sometime in 2005. Since this social network turned into a game platform now, I guess my blog is gone. I took blogging seriously since 2007. Thanks to all good friends who helped and taught me all the tricks and tips in blogging. Special thanks to my friend, Carlota from Michigan. I truly appreciate all your help my friend.

Since I really love writing, I decided to start blogging. It turned out to be a hobby first but later I realized that one can earn money through blogging. Thanks to all the articles I read online and through the sharing of some blogger friends, I did learned that one can truly earn money through . I am not a professional writer but I can share some knowledge, ideas, thoughts and personal experiences and other things that I love. I am earning extra income now through blogging and I am quite happy about it. I also learned that joining top affiliate networks like Blue Global Media can also provide extra income. I just visited their site and I learned a lot especially about their affiliate programs.

They have a lot of interesting and informative articles especially in their blog. Their sharing and articles are convincing that I am deciding to join especially their Payday affiliate program. Why not? As a blogger, it would be another extra income for me. I would like to sign-up with Blue Global Media very soon.

Thanks

I would like to say thank you to all blogger friends, viewers and visitors who take time to visit my sites. I truly appreciate it guys. Sorry that I don't have too much time now for blog hopping. The housewife is always busy with a lot of things. Here are some of the messages I saw in my tagboard. One again, thank you very much! I hope to reciprocate your visits soon.

1081 Post

The month of September is almost ending. We are heading to the next Ber month which is October. I can't imagine that this post is already my 1081 in this blog. Imagine over a thousand posts for almost three years of blogging and that is only for this blog? I started blogging since 2004 but put a concentration to it in 2007. I still have other blogs which have over a thousand posts in it. My special mention for tonight's 1081 post is about hgh, also known as human growth hormone. I am not really an expert about this topic but I read some information about it online. This is somewhat related to somatropin which refers to growth hormone produced by recombinant DNA technology. I also heard about the term hormone during a visit to my dermatologist some years ago. It is about some sort of hormonal problems that he was explaining to me which had caused my acne problem.

Lastly, I am happy and contented to be part of the blogosphere. Thanks to all friends who had helped me a lot in making my blogging experience better and happier.

Good News and Bad News

I got both news today, bad and good. Where do you want me to start? I guess I begin with the bad one and very very sad one. Can you imagine if you lost one of your love ones? Can you imagine if you lost a member of your family? This will be the saddest news you can have. I even remember a very good friend who died last year due to cancer. Tears were even falling from my eyes as I heard the news from her sister. Anyway, as I went down to the kitchen this morning to take my tea time, HB already laid the newspaper where the obituaries are. My friend's father in law died. I immediately call her to extend my condolence and sympathy. I am also going tomorrow to attend the burial ceremony. That's the bad news my friends.

The good news is, my sister left a message in yahoo messenger telling me to take the best fat burner for me to lose weight before I go home for vacation this holiday season. I miss the yummy food back home. If I don't lose extra pounds now, I will be gaining more in my vacation. Not really a good idea for me. The best news is, our dear beloved youngest sister had already her visa to the US. She had an interview yesterday in the US Embassy in Manila. Now she is backed to Cebu and sent me that YM. God truly blesses her. I know that she deserved it. Good luck to her and best wishes to our family. Best wishes to everyone too!

Not A So Good News Back Home

I guess life is like that. It is like a wheel sometimes we are up and sometimes we are down. We are up because those were the times when we are happy and it seems that there are no problems on our way. We are down because we feel the world over our shoulders. This is also true when a family member is sick or any problem comes and it seems that we cannot find a solution to it. Sometimes I just want to remember the song, "Don't Worry, Be Happy".

I just felt very sad last time after knowing the result of the different medical tests of my father. There are some negative results especially the decrease of his red blood cells and the fibrotic changes in his lungs. I even have here the message from my sister which was sent to my mail last Oct. 12, 2009. Since we Filipinos always love our families, all we can do is to help when we can. I will try to translate next time this message below in English. For now, I want to wish you all good health always and stay safe all the time. I also need to search for good copper sinks later. More updates in a couple of hours in my other blogs. See you later guys!

Below is excerpt of the mail that was sent by my sister last time

Salbutamol (Ventolin Expectorant) (12.05) 21 capsules => 3x a day

Got Back Something

Good evening guys! I am still quite tired today until now. I woke-up so early this morning to take care of some very important things. Thanks God, that it was partially resolved. I also went to the bank and found out that the insurance company already returned back the money for my sister's travel insurance which we paid last August. I also asked some information for life insurance quotes which HB is trying to find out. My sister's visa to Germany was denied which is also the reason why we also asked for the refund of the travel insurance. We are happy that we got back our money. More updates next time. Good night and take care folks!

Have Great Weekend!

Good morning everyone! I promise this will be my last post for tonight because my keyboard is working weird again. I have to restart my pc to have it functioning back to normal. I also do not want to restart it because I am slowly going to bed now. I hear some nice music from HB already. Besides that we will wake up later earlier to take care of very important things. Since I cannot go to sleep immediately, I want to read a magazine for some reviews of the best diet pill. I also know that you are happy again because weekend is finally here. I just want to wish you all a wonderful and safe one. take care guys and more updates later. Feel free to visit my other sites for more updates. Thanks and goodnight!

Appointment with My Gynecologist

It's almost midnight again. I was watching downstairs a movie but can't finish it because I am feeling sleepy now. I also need to wake-up early tomorrow for my appointment with my gynecologist. I received a letter from her two weeks ago reminding me of my yearly check-up. I guess my Gyne loves me. She always tells stories to me every time I have an appointment with her. She is also very friendly. That is around thirty drive from where we live. After my appointment, I need to go some grocery shopping. I don't have the desire to go the past days.

Ladies out there especially if you are over thirty years young, don't forget to to visit your gynecologist for your yearly checkl-up. Just a friendly reminder. Goodnight to all my friends online. I wish you all a great week ahead!

It's Blogging Time

Good day everyone! I am not quite happy today after reading the email sent by my sister. My father had some medical and laboratory examinations since last week and some results are not good. I hope that he will be given a miracle to be backed to normal health again. Sharing things like this is a form of blogging. I know that there are still some people who don't really understand what is blogging and why do people blog. I do blog for many reasons. Some of it includes networking or meeting friends online, sharing my ideas, opinions and even personal experiences, sharing my travel photos or anything that I want to express in the blogosphere. If you are new to blogging, you can find sites that host blogs for free which includes blogger, wordpress, bravenet and a lot more. If you are looking for a web hosting site, you can also find the top list at Web Hosting Geeks.

Just a simple blogging tip, if you want to monetize your blog in the future, it is better for you to have your own domain name. Web Hosting Geeks provides the list of the top ten web hosting provider that best fit for your needs. For blogging newbies, I would encourage you to start your site with your own domain name. If you are looking for a web hosting service, don't forget to visit a leading site who will provide you with all the tips and information about web hosting. Start to join the blogosphere now and start sharing your world! I guess it is time for me to decide for this blog to have its own domain name. Take care guys and stay happy and healthy all the time!

My Sister's Travel Insurance was Cancelled

We wrote a letter last month to the company where we ordered a travel insurance for my sister who want to visit Europe. We cancelled it because the tourist visa application of my sister to Germany was denied by the German Embassy in Manila. I will tell you the whole story in my Travel and Explore Germany site. We all know the importance of medical travel because we don't know what will happen during our trip. I always do the same. Every time I go for vacation, I always see to it that I have a travel insurance to protect me in times of emergency. I would suggest that you better get one before you travel. Life is full of uncertainties! I'll see you again tomorrow for more updates! take care everyone and stay safe all the time!

Simply The Best Has A New Blue Lay-out

This is another simple but beautiful lay-out made by my friend, Carlota. Thanks a lot for this wonderful lay-out. I love it very much! My apology for posting this late but I truly appreciate all your help and company in this blogging world. Thanks for sharing your talent in graphics and web design.

Strength of a Man, Beauty of a Woman

It's afternoon now in our place. I am finally sitting in front of my computer. I was very busy this morning during some errands. I have to go the bank for some transaction, dropped a mail in the post office, started cleaning my car to get ready for the inspection of the renewal of its registration on Friday. I am still not done cleaning it because the rain start dropping. I decided to go inside the house and cook for lunch. I am happy because I had eaten my simple but delicious lunch.

As I opened my mailbox, I read about the forwarded email of my sister from Las Vegas. I decided to post it in this site to share this beautiful words about the true beauty of a man and woman..seems interesting but these are truly wonderful words...here it is!
I hope that we are trying to keep the real beauty in us! I always try! Have a wonderful day to all!

Strength of a Man

The strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders.
It is seen in the width of his arms that encircle you.
The strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice.
It is in the gentle words he whispers..
The strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has.
It is how good a buddy he is with his kids.
The strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work.
It is in how respected he is at home.
The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits..
It is in how tender he touches.
The strength of a man isn't how many women he's Loved by.
It is in can he be true to one woman.
The strength of a man isn't in the weight he can lift.
It is in the burdens he can understand and overcome.

Beauty of a Woman

The beauty of a woman
Is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure she carries,
Or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman
Must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman
Is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman
Is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
The beauty of a woman
With passing years-only grows.

Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman,
but luckier is the woman who is the last love of a man.

Got a Great Weekend!

Weekend is almost ending. I am thankful that we had a great one! I am hoping you too. We don't go anywhere today but yesterday we had a whole day trip as what I had previously mentioned. I can also say that I am happy and quite contented with my life now. All the basic needs are met. We have a dwelling place to stay. I drive my own car and just paid the car insurance last month. I have a loving, understanding and supportive husband. We just live a simple but happy life. What else can I ask for? I am thankful to God for all the blessings and graces we always receive. God is truly great! I always pray that we will be given good health always including my family and friends! I'll see you later again. It's time to take a shower. I smell sweat after a two hours walk this afternoon. take care guys!
