Remembering My Graduation Day

It's the month of March and it's the culmination of classes here in the Philippines. I have a friend who will be graduating this 24th and I have cousin who will also be graduating this 28th. March is a busy month for the graduating students but at the same time, it's the month of excitement because they have finally finished their studies and will eventually enter a new phase of their life. While thinking about Graduation programs, I was reminded how happy I was when I graduated. It was a day of great joy. My heart was filled with gratefulness to God. I was truly grateful to all the people have been used by God to help me finish my studies. Graduation programs are the best times to thank our parents, friends and classmates. 

To the Class of 2012, Congratulations!

A Teacher's Responsibility

Being a teacher to little kids is a big responsibility. I play the role of a second parent to the little ones that are dependent on what I impart to them. I always make sure that I teach them right values and good conduct, so that when they grow up, they will become responsible and law-abiding and God-fearing citizens. I also encourage the little children to always follow their dreams and aim for high. I tell them that someday, one of them will become doctors and nurses that wear immaculate and clean nursing scrubs, or they will become teachers like me or a policeman to fight crime or maybe become the next president of the country. My role is never that easy, I should also be a model to them, otherwise, I am pretty useless being a teacher.

Keeping the Kitchen Clean

The kitchen is one of the most flexible rooms in the house. It is used to prepare meals and it can also serve as a dining area especially if you have a small house. Moreover, it is also used to store foods and other household items. 

As what I have learned in my high school lesson, the kitchen should be the cleanest part of the house because it is where foods are stored and prepared. However, I have problems with making my kitchen clean and tidy because it’s very small and I have lots of stuff stored in it. Experts would say that a well designed kitchen has minimal clutter and has maximum efficiency. The problem is I can always see a messy kitchen every now and then. 

Because of the problem on keeping the kitchen tidy, my husband decided to install additional ready to assemble kitchen cabinets for our kitchen. In this way, some of the things and tools we have in the kitchen will be stored and kept in those cabinets. Moreover, I also need to discard all unnecessary stuff in the kitchen. I guess I will have to dispose all those gadgets or appliances that just simply add space and are not anymore usable. I will also have to regularly remove rotten veggies and etc on the fridge and clean it more often. Well, I hope I will be consistent on my plan to keep my kitchen clean. How about you? Do you find it hard to keep your kitchen clean?

Playing Sack Race

Sack Race is a fun outdoor games for kids and adults. This is fun to do during beach parties, birthday parties and other events. In this game you will need to use a sack and chairs.

How to play this game?

• Group the kids/adults into two. If you have a big crowd you can divide the group into 3. The number of participants or members in the group depends on the number of people who wants to join the game. However, you need to maintain a manageable number of members so it will be easy for you to identify who wins the game.
• Have the group stand in line or form in line and each group a sack. For adult participants, it is best to use a big size sack so they can easily move around as they play.
• Put a chair in front of the group at least 10 meters distance away from them. The chair will serve as their point of reference.
• Have the first person in line to get inside the sack. Wait for the "GO" signal to be given. Then the participants will hop towards the reference point or the chairs when the referee signals a "GO".
• The first group who will be able to finish ahead of the others will be declared the winner.

Very easy isn't it? So go ahead, try this fun game in your parties and you will surely have fun.

At the Lounge...

This is me and my sister in law Cookie. This photo was taken at Mallberry Suites Hotel in one of our blogging events. While waiting for the other bloggers to come, we chose to wait at the lounge and sat on their beautiful chaise lounge chair. The waiting time was never boring because we enjoyed our time talking, taking pictures and getting to know other bloggers. We were very happy to see faces behind the blogs and get to know some tips from other bloggers. After a few minutes, the event organizer called us and we headed on to our meeting venue.

On Cars and Auto Parts

A few weeks ago, one of our cars has been damaged and until now its still haven’t fixed because there’s a specific auto part that needs to be purchased. My husband visited a number of auto shops in the city but he found none. Some auto shops told him that the auto part has to be purchased to its dealer. Feeling desperate about the situation, I tried to find the auto part online. While browsing online, I was bumped into Auto 7, an automotive parts company. It’s a trusted company and they have been in the business for 57 years. Although I don’t have much knowledge about carts and their auto parts, I got stuck in that site and read about Auto7 electric fuel pump reviews. I told my husband that I found a site where he can buy the auto parts that he needs for our car. However, I realized they only sells original equipment parts for Hyundai, Kia and GM- Daewoo vehicles. Sigh… I hope they sell original equipments for Honda.

High School Classmates

This photo was taken 16 years ago. It's pretty obvious because our faces look so funny then. One of my classmate reacted when she saw this photo on Facebook because she don't like her face. LOL! 

I am blessed to have these friends. We met occasionally especially on special events like birthdays and we already made a commitment to meet every December. It was this last December that we were not able to meet because of Typhoon Sendong.  

Some of my high classmates were already working abroad, so whenever we have gatherings you can't expect a perfect attendance. But we are hoping that we will be complete in our next get together this coming December.

is hosted today at Joy's in Life.

Stair Railings for All Buildings

When you are going to be building a new home there are a lot of factors you need to look into. One thing that sometimes can be overlooked is the stair railings. Sometimes a really nice staircase will be put together but the railings are overlooked until the end of the project. This can cause some unwanted extra work. The stair railings usually fit nicely into the newel post. If you have your post first and not your railing you will have to find a railing that fits with your post. Some stair railings will fit in with any type of building, no matter what kind it is. These are usually the more common sold online designs. If you really want to make a statement you can do that with your staircase. So just remember to be creative and choose high quality stair parts.

Little Girl in Boots

It's a blessing to have Zane (my 3 year old cousin) to live with us in our house. Their house has been wiped out by the flood due to Typhoon Sendong(Washi) and they are living with us for the mean time. She's my playmate and my constant companion in the house. She loves to play, read stories, eat and dance with me. One afternoon, I asked her to wear some nice clothes coz, I'm going to take a picture of her. She was so excited and I was surprised to see her wearing boots and a blouse and skirt. I fixed her hair, put on some accessories and she was very eager to pose in front of the camera. This little girl is such a darling!
