Oh, Mom!

mom

We go through phases with our mothers.

At 6 years old… “Mommy, I love you!”
At 10… “Mom, whatever.”
At 16… “My Mom is so annoying!”
At 18… “I wanna leave this house.”
At 25… “Mom, you were right.”

At 30… “I want to go to Mom’s house.”

At 50… “I don’t want to lose Mom.”

Onward… “I would give everything for my Mom to be here with me.”

We began our lives in her womb and we end up always running back to her.

I love you, Mom! Wherever you may be now…

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there!

Huge decision

A huge decision has to be made today and since connection is a problem, a audio conferencing service will be used to make the communication clearer.

The managers and other officers of the company will be present once the decision is announced. They will gathering in the boardroom to await the announcement. Fingers are crossed that it will be a positive decision and that everyone down to the rank and file will benefit from the huge decision to be made today.

It will surely be a cause for celebration once the CEO decides to approve the 100% mid-year bonus for all the employees of the company!




Ongoing renovations

Three families are living in a rather large old house in the next street. You can hear how loud they are when you happen to pass by their house. For me, loud is mostly fun so I know how much the families love each other, especially the kids.

Last time I passed by the house, I noticed the ongoing renovations. I heard that the metal switch plate were being installed that time and that the staircase was being sanded. The older kids were helping the adults and the little kids were helping hand out cold drinks to the workers.

I was reminded of how happy it is for little kids to be surrounded by so much fun and love!




Band practice

He was supposed to be playing soccer with his friends but since he tripped over the MXR Pedals in the garage while in band practice, he couldn’t play due to a broken ankle. And he thinks that it’s a blessing in disguise. He can now concentrate on band practice more.

He always go back to his music. He is majoring in Biology but music is always there waiting on the sidelines. He plays soccer for fun and studies Bio for his future. But music is his passion now and for the rest of his life.




Source of positive energy

Lord, I am trying my best to be a source of positive energy to the people around me. I am trying to divert my eyes from people and things that annoy or irritate me. I am taking steps to be a better person, to rise above the pettiness and shallowness of my own mind…

I am trying and I hope I am doing the right thing :)

Happy Monday to each one of you out there!

A neighbor’s help

A neighbor helping out another neighbor… that’s a blessing for me to see. Normally neighbors nowadays ignore one another as they try to live their own lives. Plus the fact that a lot of people are now scared that their neighbors are actually bad people just waiting to pounce on them. I know because I feel that way towards some of my neighbors.

But there are neighbors I’ve known for a long time, who have known each other for a long time. These are the neighbors I am talking about. The ones who are truly concerned over one another that they would be willing to accept a delivery of general international tools without question because the neighbor where the tools are intended to be delivered are out of their house. That’s the kind of help and concern I am blessed to see.




Let go ;-)

When was the last time you truly let go and just let everything fall wherever they may? When was the last time you said “whatever will be, will be”? When was the last time you danced the night away when you should be studying or working?

Let go! Even for a few hours or a day. Let go and just live life based on your gut. Do what you have always wanted to do and do not mind others.

Let go and live life!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Death is part of the future.

I know that majority of us are already planning for our old age. But do you know one other thing we should all be preparing for is our eventual death? It’s part of our future whether we like it or not. It may sound morbid for others but for those practical ones like you and me, it’s making sure we leave behind no burden to our love ones.

If you have experienced planning a funeral, you know it is not easy because all you want to do is go to a corner and cry your heart out. You know that it is also costly so can you imagine the worries your love ones would feel when you pass away leaving behind the expenses of a funeral service?

So be practical and prepare for your eventual death as whether we like it or not it’s really part of your future.




Beautiful on the outside

Leila is beautiful not only on the outside but the inside as well. She was raised well by her parents and she really lives to the standards of society. She is also a woman who takes care of her outside appearance really well. She thanks care of her skin and she uses Cleopatras Choice facial care. She is not a vain person but you just know she takes the time to put together a good appearance always.

Beauty on the outside and the inside. That’s what a great woman should be!




Cheap is good for the budget.

Cheap doesn’t always mean less in quality. I happen to find really good products for a cheap price. In fact, I like cheap because it’s good for my budget! No need to spend a lot of money on something that can be bought for a cheaper price, right?

I do have a cheap lingerie that I like a lot. I still use it from time to time and it’s still the same old lingerie that I loved when I first bought it. See, I didn’t have to spend a lot for something because it’s just the same as a pricey one.




Anything is possible.

UP

Whenever I get to watch the animated movie UP, I get the feeling that anything is possible. If we focus on the very thing we want to accomplish, we can do it! Anything is possible if we set our hearts and minds to a given goal. I believe in that.

I have something in my mind that I want to accomplish since I was in high school. I keep getting sidetracked but this time around I will persevere and I will take the time to finally focus on it.

It will happen before the end of the first half of the year.




Outstanding community member

My grandpa’s part of the elderly in the community. They were revered men and women who have been living in the neighborhood since they were very young. Some even were born here. I was privy to their discussion on giving one community member a recognition on being an outstanding citizen.

I told my grandpa I can order a trophy at AwardsForAnything.com for them. Or a plaque if they want that instead. It will be something to bring home to the family for them to know that the community member is being recognized for his work.
