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!

Do You Look Your Age?




You Probably Look Younger Than Your Age



You live a healthy lifestyle and know how to take care of yourself.

You'll probably have a youthful glow for many years.


Coffee Time with Friend-Bloggers

With fellow bloggers, Donna, Sir Hector, my sister Tammy

As a blogging community in the region, we normally hung out in some establishments here. We had this coffee time with Generals'  Brew where they serve the unique coffee luak where they are uniquely taken from the poofs from Asian Palm Civet.  Did I try drinking this coffee?!! No way! LOL!

Show Off Everyone!

It is quite natural for us to look and feel better even if  it means having good stuffs for ourselves or for our loved ones and for our home. 


My family is into business for several years already. The furniture has been existing more than 15 years ago and it has thrived through my mom's painful endurance. 


We do have our own boutique too and we took the advantage of exhibits to show off our stuffs. The exhibitor even asked my mom if she would like to have the furnitures exhibited as well. But, since the business has been known for long, we don't see the timing of  the exhibit when she is all busy.  


But, I wish we can have our own exhibit resources like trade show flooring, and  trade show carpet to make our items more presentable. Further, it will be nice if our own logo can be used on logo mats and logo canopy.


Perhaps, if resources will allow it, we can have our furnitures  in exhibits to  widen our business market. 


It does not hurt us to show off only when we have beautiful stuffs to be proud of. 

Our Love Day on the Air

It is officially February 13 in the Philippines and  we are simply too excited of two things, Valentines Day and Chinese New Year.   These festivities actually fall on the same day, February 14.


We are not full - pledged Chinese but somehow, we join the celebration hype even through simple meals and all.  Forsure, we will be having tikoy and I shall ask my mom to cook some Paella. These meals  normally mean close family ties. 


While the rest of country is having the enthusiasm of this love day, in other conservative countries like UAE, celebration  of Valentine's Day is forbidden.


Media and commercial establishments are into different gimmicks just to have this special day worthwhile and romantic for everyone. 


Most likely, I shall just have a dinner with family. Happy Love Day everyone!

My Wordpress Blog Ordeal

I have a number of blogs made in Blogger and I found this platform more easy and convenient to use. But, as a blogger who does paid works, I was compelled to try Wordpress. 


And, like any other sane person who hates transition, the Wordpress setting is quite a struggle.  I could not even search the section where I can add widgets. I am really an idiot. LOL!


Apart from adding widgets, I need three - column format and I can search these from Free Wordpress themes.  At least, adopting them can be easier. I had my varying themes but I  still search for other designs I can  boost. 


I wish to have my very own customized theme. Perhaps, in due time, I can find Wordpress setting exceptional. I just have to read tutorials and to try other tips to make my experience with Wordpress more worthwhile and easy.

Our Mayor on State of the City Address

Bariles had asked us to join him on the City Address of General Santos Mayor Pedro Acharon, Jr. The rest of the Gensan bloggers who are free were asked to witness the SOCA. And, although I committed to be around during his speech, I have to still see my students this afternoon for our lecture.


I can however, miss my laboratory and head to the  venue although I won't really be missed. Geez, I might as well miss the talk and just attend to my class. LOL!


Well, the SOCA will surely highlight the accomplishments of our Mayor and future projects the city will be having. Under our city mayor administration, our city has become more known and progressive.   This is one pride one General can have. 


I must however, finish all my works should I decide to join this event.

I Am Vain But . . .

Every sane person will say that he wants to look and feel good. But, somehow inferiority consumes self-esteem that he wishes to look differently and feel appreciated.


I am indeed vain with my appearance. It started with my pouting lips, gap teeth, and not too pronounced nose. I did not smile well because of my facial features that as soon I had the resources, I got my teeth fixed. But, if I have more resources, most likely if not, I shall have my nose done, and body sculptured from unwanted fats. 


But, vanity is popular not only among women but also among men that plastic surgery has become the prime solution. This is quite popular among celebrities whose personality is a big concern. 


These celebrities and other commoners opted for plastic surgery to look good in spite of pricey costs. But, risks are always there that any normal surgical procedure can turn out bad. 


Some sources cited a few celebrities whose surgery turned wary and gross that the patients themselves would rather have their old selves back. To name a few, the list includes before-after images of Jackie Stalone whose latest picture is associated with a picture of a bulldog, Donatella Versace,  Pete Burns, Kenny Rogers, Dennis Avner who explicitly wanted to appear a cat, Amanda Lepore, Michael Jackson and Michaela Romanini.


But, to top these gone - wrong surgeries are the works of Hang Mioku, a Korean - based lady whose after face definitely of another planet. She was quite pretty in her old self but with too much plastic surgery obsession, she had done several procedures mainly on her face. With series of procedures, her face was left disfigured that no other surgeon would take her case until she met a doctor who  introduced self - injecting silicones. And, when she ran out of silicones, she injected herself with cooking oil. Thus, a more aggravated condition inflicted this lady.


Also, another popular case is Jocelyn Wildenstein who deliberately did several procedures to look like a cat in behalf of his late husband  Alec Wildenstein, an important businessman with a love of exotic animals. She was divorced over his extra-marital affairs and to win back her husband, she had her face done to resemble a cat.




Jocelyn Wildenstein - the Cat Woman


These worst cases of plastic surgery are adversely caused by Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), a psychiatric disorder characterized by strong belief that there are physical defects that need to be corrected when in fact, they appear normal. 


Plastic surgery may do wonders but for someone who has BDD, the effects are disastrous. Thus, before anyone goes to plastic surgery, it is quite important patients are well asked about their mental stability.


So, this responsibility lies mostly on responsible surgeons who are not just after earnings but also  the safety and welfare of their patients.  One can check Los Angeles plastic surgeon who is socially responsible and competent with  his craft.


We all want to be beautiful, in natural way or otherwise. But, what is unacceptable is the possibility that our chosen medium can do more wrong than good.  We can only be more cautious and confident with ourselves and rely only on competent surgeons.

My Sunday With Loved Ones

I was awakened up early today to join the potluck party of a fellow blogger-friend, Sheng in a city spring here in General Santos.


Although, my kid just had his tonsillitis two weeks ago from swimming at a public pool, he took the plunge from this clean spring and just had great fun.


Further, I decided to drive the motorbike again. Although, I was comfortable now in driving, I still felt tensed and quite alert. I guess I really have to get used to it especially if the men at home are not around or something.


It was indeed a great fun with family and friends.

I Need A Life!

With the stress from work, business and personal life, I terribly need a life.  I quite miss my old friends that  I wish I can just disappear and  be with them and just have good fun.


During my free time, I only consume it through movies, shopping, and blogging. Sometimes, gimmicks with fellow bloggers help.


But, one can  only be with his limits until he decides to venture out. I can go on vacation again, be with my friends, play around, have fun with discos and Casinos online.  My friends and I can choose from high quality casinos who offer generous bonuses, fun games and 24/7 customer support.


There are simply to many casinos online. We can only be more cautious and be well informed about scam and fledgling ones.  Thus, we might as well go for quality casinos.

I hope I have enough resources to see my friends.  

Another Blog for Me


My other blog in Wordpress

I have four running blogs and since I have more time to waste, I decided to have another business - oriented blog.  However, I must run it in Wordpress. Thus, I am facing a big dilemma, I am lost with Wordpress. I can just write my posts, insert pictures, and just logout. LOL!


I am still waiting for a fellow blogger to help me out with customizing the template and getting my domain.


For now, I will just content myself with writing my stuffs everyday.


Dragging Days For Me

It has been weeks when I simply feel so down and distressed that I don't feel well about almost everything. Sigh! I think I am having the aging syndrome. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!


How I wish I have my closest friends around whom I can hang out with and simply have fun. Perhaps, even if I don't find answers to  my distress, I can feel relieved.   I think I need a break from everything, perhaps a vacation will do. 


Watching funny movies and hanging around with my kid somehow helps. Gosh! Am I having PMS already. LOL!

I'm A Couch Potato

The problem with not too social person and is aging, I get to stay more time at home or at store. Sigh! 


But, it is never a wasted time since I use my free time reading, blogging and watching endless movies. We however, rely only on buying CD's since the home TV is not subscribed to any cable service. 


I did search for a cable service that is suited to our home needs but to no avail until I  found DIRECT TV Packages.  They offer varying bundles of promos that can meet unique need of those who want to have  DIRECTTV Packages


I wish I can have any of these DIRECTV Packages especially now that Manny Pacquiao will soon have his next fight. My pop will surely enjoy the home viewing live!


For now, I just have to endure first online movies and shelf CD's.

Last Thursday, Bariles once again invited us to join him and other bloggers to a newly opened resort in the city. We were only happy to tag along and since it has a pool, we brought our little kid with us. 


The place was quite awesome especially seeing the panorama of the countryside and the big - sized pool was distinguishing irony. One can only enjoy the cool farm breeze while savoring the tranquility and fun. My kid could not be stopped from hitting the pool waters. LOL!


We did have the chance to talk with the owners, Mr. Joel and Mrs. Patrice Santos, who are grandkids of General Santos City's founder, Gen. Paulino Santos. Great!!!!


Since, the place is simply close to our home, this resort shall be a welcoming experience for the entire family  and to other Generals who wish to relax.

I'm Just Having a Good Time

It has been raining this entire week here in General Santos City. Just like any normal individual, the weather can really drag you down that you just want to sit down, relax and just enjoy the day away from work and other stressing stuffs.


I normally consume my free time watching movies, blogging and reading and the day runs from 6 am until 12 midnight, seven days a week.  I also check some good websites that can draw away boredom and fatigue. These include checking some news from Yahoo, listening to music sites and playing Online casino


But, whenever we can, we try to do outdoor recreations including gimmicks, hiking and window shopping. 


Whatever medium for fun is always worth the time and resources. It is just nice to play around once in a while.
