Add Joy to the Holidays with Holiday Greetings

Greetings are the best means to express your feelings. Where greeting cards express your feeling with the help of images and quotations and custom text, these also are an excellent means to be present with someone even if you are away from him or her. It is also the best means to convey your emotions and make aware the other persons how you feel about him or her. Holiday greetings are also in vogue these days following Christmas holidays.

If not for a query I made to a certain marketing affiliate yesterday, I would have had not bothered checking my gmail account that’s honest- to- goodness has long been taken for granted by me. Thanks to my inquisitive mind. If not for it I would never be enlightened that I still have one more online account that is worth spending a little bit of my time.

Know what I have missed? Blogging opportunities that were long been knocking at my door. And there was not only one… there were few of them. Imagine how neglectful I was! But even so, I still did try to respond to those emails with optimism. I would be very glad if even one of them will take notice and would care to write me back.

However on the lighter side, this email also somehow made my “not so good” day yesterday. Here’s what it says:
Feb 20, 2009

constantly in distress

Less motivated but I am still able to carry on with life. Knowing how I failed to face and accept realities made me constantly shake up and feel so bad lately. God knows how I tried and keep on trying not to let my disappointments get in my way but it’s simply not just how I am. I get totally disoriented whenever something stirs me emotionally. It leaves me do nothing but to sit and stare at the screen all day. How I hate the thought of just closing the day with a frown.

I hope you guys have much more better days than I do.

rescuing the damage

I have been watching the news on TV about the recent tropical storm "Feria" to have hit some part of the country today particularly in Luzon and Visayas areas. Weather condition like this reminds me so much of what I have personally experienced in Cebu last year. Seeing a real tropical cyclone activity rushing through along with strong wind and heavy rain is such a horrifying calamity. See how these people tried to save this raft from drowning? With just several slaps of the curling big waves from the raging ocean this boat got drown in less time.

photo was taken a day after the incident

It took few months before they get to have this boat working again after the unfortunate incident. Early this evening I've just learned from a friend back there that tropical depression has been indeed surrounding the place. (Sigh!) I can only hope it won't result to damages as bad as it did last year.

my brother's 'firsts'

Labels: Posted by Admin

Last night, I was supposed to blog about my younger brother's first visit to Manila. I started to write after he left the house but something must be seriously wrong with our power services. We went over a night without power for more than 2 hours. Shortly after it came back, I turned my PC on to get my postings done only to find out that my Internet connection also died along. So like the usual, I have waited. Though it came back but it can hardly open a page. To calm myself down, I opened a folder of songs and listened to them while I waited for my connection to stabilized but still to no avail. Waahhh! See how life can be so disappointing sometimes.

Anyway, all I just wanted was to wish my brother a safe trip. Last night he flew to Manila to meet his friend there. Both the place and the experience of riding a plane were his firsts so I was a bit anxious for him although I know my brother is a smart one, he's 29, LOL!. But even so, I still did back him up all the way through by sending him text messages telling him this and that and what to do while inside the airport. Around midnight and I was already asleep when he informed me that they already landed in Manila. I'm glad he made it safe... I hope this vacation grant is going to be a fantastic one for him.

Sure it's going to be!
Oh, and I'm looking forward for my 'pasalubong'. I wonder what could that be!

I didn't realize that it's already the 3rd Sunday of the month till I opened my Plurk account and read one common plurk for the day "Happy Fathers Day to all Dads!" Whew! That's how disconcerted my mind is lately. Anyway, I still don't want to miss this opportunity to send out my greetings...

To may late Papa whom I miss so much, to my late brother-in-law, Jimmy... somehow I have wished you didn't have to leave your little girls that soon, to the father of my kids...thanks for taking care of them, to my uncles and to the most important ‘dad’ of my life, JK for undoubtedly holding on to us through good and bad times. Thank you and Happy Father's Day to you all!

And of course, I'm sending out my greetings too to all fathers and soon to be dad around the world...

designed to last ezy roller

Labels: Posted by Admin

If you are to give your kids an entertainment article that last, consider this!

This three-wheel cart is designed to last and is suitable for kids from 3-14 years old so they won't outgrow it for a long time. It glides forward by simply moving your feet. With no petals, chain and batteries needed, ezy roller has a top speed of about 12 mph. The tubular steel frame and canvas seat are very solid and sturdy. And safety wise, it is way safer compared to any other wheeled articles like roller blades because it has built in handbrakes which I believe is the most important feature of this item, leaving the parents worry-free while letting their kids enjoy their playtime.

So where to get this cool stuff? Only at Posy Lane! At Posy Lane, Ezy Roller Cart is the most popular item to children. But not only that, they also offer unique and personalized gift items such as personalized children's plates, towel wraps, nap mat, toddler backpacks and a whole lot more. At Posy Lane you can shop gifts for your entire family. They also offer full embroidery and monogramming services at a best quality you can afford. So if you think of one of a kind and quality gift items, think of Posy Lane.

The first two here are from the ever so generous Lynn and the awards has some posting rules here. One of which is to pass it on to 15 newly discovered blogs but sad to say, I really don't have much new acquaintances for I get too lazy to hop lately :-( But still thanks to rule #1... hahaha!


No, but seriously I appreciate the gesture of kindness. These are wonderful awards. It's been quite a while since I last receive an award here so to me this really means a lot.

While this one's from a new and a year old mommy who just brought herself back to the online world. One of the first few blogging buddies of mine, Darly. Thank you, sis. I'm glad you made it your way back despite your busy mommy life now.

So, now it's my turn to spread and share and I wanna pass all three awards to Rocks, Lisa, G-Anne, Gles, Liza, Cecile, Ria, Amy and Lena. Take it away, ladies... naks!

Have a great brand new week, everyone!

It has been a long stressful and so overwhelming week. I did something I shouldn't have done and said something I shouldn't have said. Heard something... well I guess I'm suppose to hear and learned some lessons I ought to learn.

Though I know things will never be the same again, I am still looking forward to embracing myself back again. Not the relentless but the real, light-hearted 'me'.

Hmm.. working on that... Wish me luck!

Have a pleasant weekend to all!

Mood: Disturbed
It's 11:03 p.m. Just sitting here unloading her random thoughts.

I know it's late and I should be in bed but something's keeping me awake.

A guilt feeling? Perhaps!

I miss my dad. If he were here, I don't know what his reactions would be for everything that happens but I'm sure he would understand. We don't talk that much when he was still around but I know what's in his heart. I know when he agrees or not. I know he's watching over us, his family.

God, I need some enlightenment! You know how I truly feel...

a nurse, that is...

Although I hold no regrets to have completed my full college course some years ago, achieving what you wish to have become by heart for a profession is still a different fulfillment and is beyond compare. So every time I've gone to a hospital or any health institutions and come across or walk past with these people in white I just can't help but stare at them and say "I could have been one of them".

I know from within, I would love the profession and everything that has to do with it. I even do search websites and read some interesting articles about nurses and the nursing profession. And lately, I found out about this cool web magazine called SCRUBS - a nurse's guide to good living. This magazine features essential, delightful tips for nurses to stay healthy and young looking despite the stress a back-to-back, extra long shift may have cause them. I'm sure we all want to know why we shouldn’t let our make up sleeps with us during our bed time. What are those pampering ideas for nurses? Oh and don't forget that makeup tips that hold up. Scrubs have all these interesting topics every nurse's would like to know.

Anyway, back to me. Well, I know not all things happen the way we always wanted them to be. But it's never too late to dream nor too early to tell. I opt not to close my door for possible opportunities that may comes my way especially if it's something I'd love to do.

It's never too early to observe yet another remarkable event of the Philippine history. Thanks Lynn for reminding me about it.

OPERATION 111

PHILIPPINE 111TH INDEPENDENCE DAY

"The Philippine Declaration of Independence occurred on June 12, 1898 in the Philippines, where Filipino revolutionary forces under General Emilio Aguinaldo.The declaration, in the form of a proclamation, in the presence of a huge crowd, was done on June 12, 1898 at the ancestral home of General Emilio Aguinaldo between four and five in the afternoon in Cavite el Viejo (now Kawit), Cavite, some 30 kilometers South of Manila. The event saw the unfurling of the National Flag of the Philippines, made in Hong Kong by Mrs. Marcela Agoncillo, Lorenza Agoncillo and Delfina Herboza, and the performance of the Marcha Filipina Magdalo, as the Nation's National Anthem, now known as Lupang Hinirang, which was composed by Julian Felipe and played by the San Francisco de Malabon Marching band."

what is hacking and why do hackers hack

Labels: Posted by Admin

HACKING according to dictionary is to skillfully modify a certain computer program. Why skillfully? Because it takes ability and expertise for a person to intrude into someone else's database. We ordinary internet users are very subjective about it. We think it's a crime. A detrimental activity to the IT security of big operating business companies, government agencies and other establishments. However, a tighter look at why such activity is being done may open our eyes to something new. I my self, even got surprised to this. There are beneficial reasons why hackers hack and understanding what these reasons are may help us realize that not all hackers are out there to commit a crime.

Ethical Hacking is dealing with the vulnerabilities of certain software thus, professional hackers makes it still useful by modifying instead of aggravating it. Anyone can become a real life professional hacker and get paid. Ethical Hacking is now a progressive career in the Information Technology Industry. Its fundamental role in IT Security is crucial that's why EC Council is here to help. They offer online courses in Security fundamentals, Ethical Hacking, Penetration Testing, Computer Forensics, Disaster Recovery and they certifies individual in various e-business and security skills.

a blue weekend

That's how I am yesterday and today. Everyone in the house has to leave for some reasons so I am left all alone. Should I be glad? This is what I asked for after all. An undivided time for myself and my online chores. But why do I still feel disturbed? I can't seem to stay still. Can't keep my mind to one direction. Must there be something I have missed?

Still alone and pondering...

My body's immune system must have failed to resist unwanted foreign intruders. I first felt the cold somewhere in my sleep last night (well actually at early dawn, around 2am). I thought the fan stood still and blowing cold air right through me...half asleep I got up to check it only to find out that it wasn't even working... it's off. Still feeling the strange cold, I wrapped myself up and went back to sleep. And before I knew it my system has already been invaded. Sniffles, itchy throat and light headache were what greeted me this morning.

SIGH! First few hour stretch in the morning, I already feels like I'm a cellphone running out of batteries. I wish to just go back to bed and spend the whole time laying there till I'm alright but I can't. With all the chores on queue and needed to get done for the day, I can't. Anyway, I will still live (:

So you successfully did it! Thanks to all that strenuous workout sessions at the gym, the regular walk at the park and to all the helpful articles, weight loss programs and tips from the web. You have now reached your goal... your desired weight, that is. The next and final stop... the maintenance stage.
According to nutritionists, no given meal should exceed a total accumulated value of 3 during the weight maintenance stage. Observe the following rules to help you slim and lean.
  • Always choose "good" carbohydrates over "bad" carbohydrates
  • Never combine "bad carbohydrates with lipids (fats) in the same meal
  • Eat fiber-rich food at every meal
  • Eat a lot of protein, choosing foods that are high in protein and low in fat
These four rules are the bases of the weight-maintenance stage - or perhaps it's best to say they are the bases of your eating habits for the rest of your life! If you follow these rules, you can be assure that you won't regain the weight that you've successfully lost.
Absolute NOs

No Alcohol/ No Fried Foods
No Processed Foods / No Smoked Foods
No Coffee / No Refined Flour Products
No Sweet (pastries, etc) /No Dairy Products
No Nuts/ No Chocolates
No Sugar/ No Soft Drinks

Absolute YES'

Broiling/ Baking
Grilling/ Fish and Chicken (skinless)
Fresh Fruits/ Complex Carbohydrates
Green Leafy Vegetables/ Drink lots of Water
Low Salt Foods/ Whole Grains
Herbal Teas/ Natural Organic Supplements
Remember, attaining your ideal weight was all worth the effort it took, so don't let what you have worked for so hard to go to waste. Having the ideal weight that is dreamed by many means more energy, guilt-free feeling and above all more successes and achievement.

with them

I have them all by myself for the last 2 solid months. Play with them, eat with them, tell a story with them, sit and watch movies with them, slept with them and even became child again with them. In short, they simply put back that effortless smile that I haven't been wearing for an honest-to-goodness longest time... they are my two most precious possession here on earth... they are my daughters KATE & NAUREEN.

Here I wanted to share some of our recent priceless moments together:
(Kate is on a pink top while Naureen is on a blue one... they usually wear the same clothes but they're not twin)

I know soon they will be leaving for they have to go back to school. But before I could even finish doing this post, their papa called telling that he's on his way to pick the girls up. Hearing that news from my brother broke my heart into tiny pieces for the _th time but I believe God is good and I'm sure He will let them find their way back to mend it. I warned myself not to cry. Funny because I didn't imagine myself keeping my emotion so well for the very first time when suddenly my daughter Kate hurriedly stepped down from the car and run her way through me, hugged me so tight while bursting in tears and said she didn't want to go. How am I suppose to handle that movie-like scene? Before I knew it, mom already wiped her tears and did some explaining to my daughter for me. She convinced her eventually and sent her back to the car.

Sigh! I already missed them.
