Our Mall Store

facade for our Kreativ Boutique to be situated at Gaisano Mall Atrium's 2nd Level

We officially start our mall store construction today and we hope to have it officially opened by July 8. The toil is quite tasking, however, this has been our long - overdue wish, to be more publicly visible.

So, come next week, we shall be requesting for other details to include hang tags and customized bags. Until then, we can only sort out other nitty gritty of this renovation and finally be ready.

Im a Strained Teacher Again

This new school year, 2010 - 2011, is another year added to my decade of being a teacher and while this job is truly underpaid but overworked, I remain a committed servant of education. I had been a full - time teacher for 12 years but decided to cut back on my workload that I chose to become a part - time teacher instead.

So, since last semester, I have been rendering 15 hours of teaching work every week on subjects like programming and computer theories. This however means I have to still read a lot, and work with my computer practically every day resulting to chronic back pain, headache and strained vision.

I started with jogging and taebo last summer to help me get healthier bones and correct my back aches while I only take pain killers for the headache. However, the strained vision is left unattended that even triggers the headache again. I had my  eyeglasses before to correct the teacher's eye syndrome but I outgrown them that I need new  eyeglasses  again appropriate for my present visual requirement.

My age does not at all alleviate the problem and since I can't undo the consequences of nature or resign from my work, I can only find ways to remedy my concerns.

 Since the school year has just started, I have a long time to endure unless I find a nice and elegant pair of eyeglasses soon.

Model Wannabe


My husband compelled me to do a wacky photo opp with him and since we were in the fine beach of Isla Jardin del Mar, I simply obliged. hhahahahha!

So, I got these nice shots of me with all big smiles and unprofessional stances. I can never really be comfortable as a photo model. hahahahhaha!

Not Wanting to Age

It is a typical sentiment that we don't want to be at our youth's end as it may mean lumpy weight, ugly skin, health implications, and psychological lapses. Thus, experts suggest that healthy lifestyle, exercise and diet may contribute to keeping aging at bay and reduce risks of medical conditions.

One possible cause of aging is oxidative stress that happens when the free radicals in our human body surpasses the body's own ability to neutralize or detoxify these free radicals. Oxidative stress may happen when there is a lack in antioxidant or from an over supply of free radical reacting  with major components of cells, including DNA, lipids, and protein, resulting in cellular damage.

Further, oxidative stress may also be the cause of  serious diseases including atherosclerosis, Parkinson's disease, heart failure, myocardial infarction, Alzheimer's disease, fragile X syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome.




With these serious implications, it  is imperative that interventions like supplements can help us address oxidative stress. Anti - oxidants like Glutathione can be an excellent supplement to combat oxidative stress and boost our immune system.  Further, the substance called penny stocks can be an effective supplement to combat free radicals. It is also known to be an excellent anti aging product as cell degeneration is contained.  Studies on preventing oxidative damage can be viewed  at  http://www.oxis.com  and they provide product information on the benefits of containing oxidative stress.

Advancing Oxidative Stress Technology Oxis International, Inc. (OTCBB: OXIS) is the premiere provider for the potent antioxidant, Ergothioneine and through their patented synthetic manufacturing process remains the only significant commercial source of pure l-ergothioneine worldwide.

You can also see  Oxis on Twitter or  Oxis on facebook   to get regular updates and  get connected with latest innovations and studies to combat oxidative adverse implications.

Away with my Kid


We had this chance last summer to visit my younger sibling in Manila for a week and while we savored the change in environment, we somehow made use of our time mall hopping and recreational activities.

My kid was only more happy to try ice skating in Mall of Asia and bungee jumping in Market - Market. We culminated the trip with a two - day stay in Pureto Galera.

We did promise that we shall come back and try other things we missed. Nothing beats a good escapade after long years of work.

Better Blog Hosting for Me

This blog has been up and running since April 2008 and I never really imagine that my interest for blogging shall extend over a year but because of its unimaginable perks, harnessed writing skills, new friends and more insights from reading other sites, I  am definitely in love with blogging.  I

I have four other blogs that are oriented on different niches of fashion, business, education and family and fortunately, I have these blogs with their own domain names except for this first blog that seemed to get stuck with blogspot appendage.

Claiming a domain name was easy with Blogger and so far, I never really have any serious trouble unlike when I had my blog in Wordpress hosted. I got the typical features of a Wordpress hosted blog but with my desire to improve it more technically, the hosting is quite vain and restricted.

So, if I were to require a  domain hosting  for this blog, I shall only look for something that will  give me full access to my blog plus the ability to incorporate third - party applications among others at very considerable price and superb convenience. Further,  I expect that the domain hosting will be reliable from any technical glitches.

I have had paid for my Wordpress domain but definitely dissatisfied, but, I can only maximize the one - year hosting, then, I shall reconsider whether to keep it or deactivate the account.

It is indeed imperative that before any online subscription shall be made, I should check recommendations first among the experts. For now, I can only sigh and accept the fate of my distressed blogs.


My Photo Opp

A day before our family friend left for Zamboanga City, we brought him to Isla Jardin del Mar for the fine sand and clear waters. And what seems to be a nice place was only burdened with the stiff road that only guests with wheels can enjoy this place.

But, the long day was somehow nice as the staff was all accommodating but the water receded, so, we ended up with photo sessions. I got these nice collection of pictures with friends, sister and my kid.

Hating My Mental Gaps!

I am back to teaching and I only had few days of rest as I had my time filled with blogging and article writing. And, with all the busy time in business, writing and family works, I could not find the time to attend to little things, so, I end up forgetting things.

So, after I decided to lie low on writing, I have enough time to rest but my recreation is limited to reading and watching movies only. My classes are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays as the school rearrange my loadings. I could have two more subjects but I gave up the evening loads to attend to my family.

Stress can indeed consume someone else's energy; good thing, online recreations like  USA online casinos are around to help address stress and get recharged. After long days of work, it is always fair to have safe fun with friends and loved ones.

I hope since I am back to my usual works, I have enough time to rest and not forget things anymore.

My Photo Shoots

A family friend decided to join us so he can help with the construction of our supposed – to – be mall space, however, we and the mall owner had a little miscommunication with  the type of materials to use. Thus, we decided to put hold first the construction until we get a more viable option using only the meager resources we have.

So, since the family friend would have  to leave for Zamboanga again, we decided to bring him  to the beach center of Region 12, the Glan beaches.  We did go to the newly opened beach, Isla Jardin del Mar, but we were all surprised by the difficult and stiff road to our target beach. We used only motorbikes as means of transportation and because of the uphill roads, we were forced to walk a few meters just for the vehicle to make through. LOL!

The place however was nice and quiet but we could not take the swim since the waters had receded! Waaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!  My own kid could only wallow in complaint. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! So, we ended up having only photo shoots of us and the place.

In the late afternoon  though, the higher water showed up, so, the rest of the family hit the water while I ended up taking their pictures!
The travel back home took more than hour as we took pictures of the provincial capital, ate “balut” among other things. But, above all the inconveniences, we did have fun!


Back to Teaching Again

It has been awhile since my last post here, you see, I have been busy with the store, article writing, mall wandering,  exercises, and family works. Geez! I never realized how busy I was. LOL!
But, since classes will officially start tomorrow, I shall make my update now before I get caught with the school’s draining frenzy! I only teach parttime, so, in between classes, I have to be in the store to man it.

The kids at home will also have their class, so, basically, the new school year is already up and running until March 2011.

I shall handle Java programming again, but this time, the coverage shall be on the fundamental concepts and along with this, I shall teach Programming Language, although I find this subject quite boring. Hahahhaha!

Now that I am done with article writing, I get bored already reading  and watching movies. I guess I just have to get used to my old routine again and sleep early as hit the bed past midnight but had to wake up for my morning jogging.
So, this evening, lights shall be out by 9pm!

Puerto Galera Festive Welcome

with my kid on snorkeling

with my younger siblings 

 We were just back from our one  week travel to Manila, and after days and days of mall wandering and family reunions, I finally had my rest. LOL!

But, what topped the travel was our trip to Puerto Galera with my younger siblings. The travel took 4 hours from our place to White Beach-Puerto Galera. 

We had unique experience in fish feeding, snorkeling and clear - water swimming. But, the place had amazing people and food! 

This place is really something to visit again!

I Conquered the 30-foot Wall

My old college classmate and friend held a 30-foot wall for climbing stationed inside a local mall here in General Santos City. My family members ( exactly five of us) were quite excited to conquer the wall that my kid had climbed 3x while the rest of us had our first and last attempt today. LOL!

Funny though that my younger siblings had reached the end of the wall while I was stuck one board away from the finish line. LOL!!!! Gosh! I got too scared first with all the crowd swarming the place but I did overcome it but when I was way too farther already, I got my head all spinning with height. Yikes!!!! My phobia kicked in thus, I gave up! Only when I reached the platform that I felt my fingers all numb and legs wobbling.

But, we sure had great time. I guess the bottomline for any endeavor is for us to have fun and to push ourselves as farther as we can.

Fun safe recreation is always nice to feel recharged. Thus, we can always try any adventure like USA online casinos   with our loved ones or friends and simply forget that we have stressful or bad days.


It is only disappointing that the wall will be dismantled today so, we can't have  repeat climbs in the future. We can however, wish that there will be another event as good as climbing these tall and scary walls.

Busy Writing andd Meetings For Me

Our classes are finally done and it has been weeks since I consume my time reading, movie watching and blogging among other things not to include that I  man the store every day too. Thus, I can only have too many time on hand. LOL!


I did finish reading the first book of Twilight Saga and now I am almost done with the second book but the reading gets stalled once blogging and article writing demand my time.


So, after long days of writing and reading, I rented some cds for movie viewing at home. Although, after that I can only go back to my notebook.   LOL!


I can't wait when I can have my vacation and just enjoy the time with my siblings and kid. Until then, I only have my hands quite full.

Our Holy Week: Reflection and Recreation

It is Holy Wednesday and since yesterday, the Philippine government had declared these days as holy days until Saturday.


Normally, holy week is a special time for us Catholic where most us go to church for the readings on the passion and death of Christ while the rest of us, head to recreation destinations including beaches, mountains and entertainment houses. 


Regardless of how we make use of long holidays, it will not harm us to do self - reflection once in a while and make  it a goal to be a good person whenever we can.


But, amidst everything, we can choose to have safe fun through any means. Most of my friends play online games particularly, Casinos online where they can win big bonuses from widely varied games through different legitimate casinos.  ALL USA players are definitely welcome.


It is always fun and refreshing to have a break from long works and pressing jobs. We just have to find means to recharge our energy and it is even more fun, if we share our recreations with loved ones.

Finally, My Own Twilight Saga Collection


I have read the e-book copies of this popular sequel and I had seen endless times the two movies adapted from these books and I just could not get enough.  LOL!


I been wanting to buy the books but it made me feel guilty to buy something that I have read already so my husband was kind enough to stall me the buying since he wanted to buy the books himself. And, surprisingly, I got my wrapped books and the nice thing is, they come in complete set in its own box with book covers as freebies.  


However, I shall  only start re-reading it once I am done with my Nicholas Sparks e-book collections. Perhaps, if I like the stuffs, I shall buy the books soon too. Hahhahahah!!!!!


Happy reading everyone! 

Getting Sick

After months of extreme heat day and night  due to very warm weather and rotating brownouts, flu started to kick in at home.  Two other family members are already down with the illness while I battle the symptoms. 


So, I have been eating citrus fruits and drinking fluids more than necessary. I only wish I can keep my own kid away from illness.


As advised  by health experts, flu vaccines are highly recommended now that rainy season starts to lurk. I wish they can be cheaper so everyone can have this especially now that A1H1 vaccine is already out for public use.

I'm Getting Crossed Eye

Our school is finally done with second semester that next week, we will hold our final exams. Since I am anticipating the long vacation, I decided to hold off first the checking of papers this weekend.

Since requirements of teachers are bound to pile up as the end of semester comes, I am getting more cross eyed with all the reading, blogging and programming.


My ophthalmologist did advise me to wear eyeglasses since the nature of my work puts a strain on my vision. But, more often than not, I keep on forgetting them and now they are finally broken.

I have to really get a good pair of glasses this time. I read Eric's Review of Zenni Optical and I was pretty amazed that anyone can get the Lowest Price Progressive Glasses starting at $8.00 way much cheaper than other eye glasses. Further, any add – ons like anti – glare coating comes at $4.95 as opposed to $50-$100 elsewhere. The #1 online Rx glasses store is a click away and any shipping is only at $4.95 regardless of the pairs needed. More importantly, a wide selection of eye glasses for men and women can be checked and customized to their unique needs. This is really one best deal!



my personal choice to keep my eyes and cover my face partially from the sun


T o top it all, not only that I shall be getting quality eyeglasses, I shall be having elegant and stylish frames.


I shall really soon my ophthalmologist again and ask for my vision status and place that online order for eyeglasses.

Busy Busy Me

We are almost done with our teaching job this second semester and the requirements are starting to pile up.

For one, I have been stressed knowing that anytime my supervisors shall come in for the observations. Although one boss already came in, I am still expecting another visit or two.

So, the preparations and stress make me more dizzy. LOL!!!! I could only be hopeful because next week will be the last week of class and examinations. After which, we are drawn to completing the requirements before clearance is needed.


The vacation time shall give me more time to spend with my kid and and business. We are now working on constructing the mall space this summer.

So, until then, I just have to relax and just be easy with work. Sigh! LOL!

I Need Life

Having to work every day  in teaching and in business can be really draining. Sometimes, I hung around the mall for a window shopping but sometimes, this too can be depressing. 


Whenever we can, I bring my kid to the city playground and just relax while watching over him.  But, when all the teaching requirements and business toils pile up, gosh, I wish I can disappear. LOL!!!!


So, it helps when recreations like online casinos particularly USA casino can be checked and played with.  The oldies in Wisconsin sometimes, do check this site for harmless fun and getaway from regular works and stress. 


The site actually lists all legitimate casinos in USA with reviews that anyone can check and assess to fit his unique needs.  Further, specific games can be chosen from their wide collections of  game plus bonuses to boost with. COOL!!!! 


To get recharged and be motivated to go to work, we must have fun whenever we can. Otherwise, every day can be depressing and dragging that we become less productive and more grumpy. 


Any recreation will do, but we have to make sure that they don't come as a burden to us nor to our family. Harmless fun is better indeed!
