Feel Safe and Secured

Just this week, I visited my friend who I haven’t seen for quite a long time. I decided to drop by at their house since they just moved in about four weeks ago near our place. It is a really nice house and they are already fully furnished. But what I noticed there is the ADT Security System installed in their house. Her dad really wants to have that because he often goes out of town for his business meetings and when his dad is not around; her mom is the only one who takes care of everything that’s why her dad is a bit worried.

Their Home Security was installed last week and they have been very sure that it will be a big help to them in case some things happened. They really feel secured especially if her dad is away and they don’t have any guy staying with them since they are all girls.

At first I really wondered if they really need to have this. But then I realized that Home Security Systems are really important since it serves as protection when unexpected things happen. Good thing that it is affordable so I will definitely introduce this to my parents.

Needs Counting Lessons



OMG! I just saw this video of Angel Locsin and I was interested with its title. When I previewed the video, I just laughed and realized the simple logic that the people want to say.

Thank you is a two letter word expressing gratitude. Angel was asked for one word but what she said is considered two words. LOL!

Oh well, now I know that many people hate this girl. There are many negative thought hurled at her and as we can see, she’s kind of out in the television series of ABS-CBN. As compared to Marianne Rivera, her career is really going down and her popularity is slowly fading.

I was just surprised that some people really spend time criticizing her. Just like by uploading this video, her simple mistake is really a big deal for all the Angel Locsin’s haters. LOL! And if you will read all the comments of this video, you will see how people is disgusted with her personality.

Save Mother Earth

Everyone is aware on how polluted our country is. People are being irresponsible when it comes to taking care of their surroundings. They throw garbage anywhere, burn plastics and rubbers, smoke belching and other cases like these without even considering that they can harm other people because of the diseases that might occur.

Since we cannot teach everyone to be responsible and disciplined, I think we just have to be really careful with ourselves. Take some precautions to avoid the harmful diseases that we can possibly acquire by always keeping our body clean and eating nutritious foods. Also, we can consider using industrial safety supplies for protection.

These things can surely prevent diseases. But as much as possible, we should always try to discipline ourselves and be aware of our surroundings. We should be willing enough to take care of our environment for our own safety and for others as well.

I Want to be Free

Ever since I became busy with my school works, I wasn’t able to do my routines and I wasn’t able to have time to visit my doctor, dentist and even the mall. LOL!

I really can’t find time to do my own personal stuffs. Actually, I can’t remember the last time I visited my dermatologist for my acne treatments. Often times, I miss the family affairs and of course the getaways with my friends. It really feels like that I was stuck in the middle of nowhere with no one there but my groupmates doing our thesis. LOL!

I just wish I can have time for my own social life even just for a little while. In fact, I am really excited for this coming vacation which means that it is the end of my first semester in 4th year. I just want to relax and feel free to do whatever I want without the hassles and cramming. I just want to break away from everything.

Needs Improvement! LOL!

There is no doubt that my brother gained a lot of weight ever since he stopped working out in the gym many months ago. Since then, he wasn’t able to control his diet and because of his heavy work with his own business, he thought that he needed more energy that’s why he didn’t notice that sometimes, he eats too much. His business is also one of the factors why he stopped working out because he focused a lot there and he didn’t have any time for gym.

Because of this, we sometimes tease him for fun and just for him to realize how much weight he gained from the previous months. Fortunately, this leads to his new motivation of losing weight. It’s been almost one month now that he started doing his routine exercise again. Our mom has a mini gym at her Barangay and my brother is using some of the facilities there like the treadmill, elliptical and the stationary bikes whenever he has a little time to work out.

Well, I can see that he is much disciplined now and more determined to lose weight and maintain a physically fit body. I’m glad that he finally allotted some of his time for exercise since this is also a good way for him to avoid harmful diseases.

2. When was the last time you complimented someone, and what was their reaction? A while ago.. She’s flattered I guess.

5. When was the last time you had to go to the doctor's office? I can’t remember either.

7. When was the last time a stranger was kind to you? Last week, he showed me the direction.

8. When was the last time you locked yourself out of your home? What did you do? I can’t remember, I rarely go home because I’m too busy doing our case studies at my groupmate’s house.

9. When was the last time you thought about cheating (on anything, a test or a person)? During our exam at human behavior last Tuesday. LOL!

Charity Work

Ever since my auntie died of cancer, it’s been a very sensitive topic for me but on the other side; I learned to be more concern with the other victims of this killing disease.

I became active in dealing and helping the cancer patients especially the kids. Actually, few years back, I and my sister became sponsors in treating the cancer patients into a Cinderella play at the CCP. The benefits of this will support their cancer treatment & prescriptions.

I really enjoy helping them though it always melts my heart whenever I see patients dying especially the young ones. That’s why; I see to it that I extend a helping hand to them even with simple things. I really promised myself that as long as I can help them, I will not hesitate to do so because I know that it will be a great blessing for them.

So as a good start, I’m asking my readers to continue to pray for all the victims of cancer. In this way, we can shower them the spirit of God who will help them to be strong.

The True Me



The True You Values Harmony



You want your girlfriend or boyfriend to be more relaxed, calm, and composed.

With respect to money, you spend whatever you have.

You think good luck might come your way, but if it does you'll be so surprised you'll burst out laughing.

The hidden side of your personality tends to be satisfied to care for things with a minimal amount of effort.

You care more about world trends and fashions than you do about well formed opinions.

When it comes to finding a romantic partner, you don't have any particular type in mind, but you are inclined to look for someone who will say yes when you ask him / her out.

Brush your teeth!

Earlier this afternoon, I had a chat with my friend. She got a huge swell on her face. I was aback and thought that she was been beaten up; and thank God I was wrong. She just got problem on her teeth, a very bad one I guess.

Her doctor told her that she needs a several treatments and she was advised to check on dental implants Plano for more information. While talking with her, I had a hard time understanding her words, so I make fun of her words that doesn’t sound like when it is pronounced properly. We laugh all through out our conversation because of her speech deficiency, LOL!

Before we said goodbyes, I advised her to brush her teeth regularly and she just gave me a smirk and we laughed. I was just hoping it won’t happen to me.

A House or a Car?

I and my family are planning to take a break overseas. We’re going to visit my auntie on Canada. I forgot her precise locality, but I knew it’s on Canada, LOL! It’s been so long since the last time I saw her. I guess I was still in grade school back then.

The last time we visited her, they showed us their RV. I enjoyed it, though sometimes, it gets bumpy because of uneven road tracks; they get my head jammed up. I was even amazed that this kind of house or car, whatever it is, got insurance. They call it motorhome insurance, if I’m not mistaken. After learning that it’s a motorhome or RV for the others, I never got mistaken by calling it a house or a car. Guess I got some learning from Canada huh?

I can’t wait to ride on RV again. Hope their roads are not rough as before.

Daily Message

On this day of your life, Vien, we believe God wants you to know ... that humans learn only by trial and error, and that includes you.

You've got to live life, not think about it. Step into the midst of things, try and fail and learn and stand up again. The question is not whether you will or will not make mistakes - you will. The question is do you want to learn and grow, or do you want to shrink back and be stuck? Take that step you've been avoiding. You can succeed, or you can get feedback that it didn't work, but in either case you are sure to feel alive.

No Hesitation

Whenever the need to purchase baby showers party invitations arises, availing the services of Birth-Cards from its familiar site http://www.birth-cards.com/ was the erudite solution I always do without hesitation. It has the sacred loci of the modernist imagination to bring out the class and beauty of the baby shower cards with the photograph of your child on it. Even the sketch sample alone of the party baby shower invitations when it was e-mailed to me an hour after I place the purchase order, can already creates giggles to rejoice, what more when the actual invitations for the baby showers were finally printed? Expect it to carry the statement I wish to portray!!!

My Day-Off

Earlier today, I was able to take a rest for a while and have a little grocery at the mall near my school. We were dismissed at 4:00pm and fortunately, we didn’t have our 6-9pm class that’s why I decided to go to the mall. But before that, I dropped by at my auntie’s office to have a ocular inspection for our upcoming seminar that our class is organizing.

Right after the inspection, I went straight to the mall and proceeded at the supermarket to buy some foods. There were plenty of people there since office hours are already over as well as for most classes at the school.

When I finished getting all my stuffs, I looked for a short queue since I want to go home early so I can take a rest. Fortunately I found one so I started lining up there. Then again, when it was my turn, there was a problem occurred with the barcode scanners. It took a lot of time before they were able to fix it.

Finally, after a couple of minutes, I just decided to go home so I can have some sleep.

Ten on Tueday: 10 Things You Think are Cool

These are the things that are on my cool meter right now…

3.DSLR – I want a camera!!

I Am a Techie One

Studying, habit that I didn’t learned to love; I thought way back then I was more intelligent until education ruined me, LOL!

Right now, I was enrolled on an IT related course, computer science to be exact, so I was ought to know more about computer nature than the average joeys. Binaries, computer programs, application, software and such are stuffs that I have to be familiarized with. Also some legal ethical issues regarding intellectual properties and alike.

I was planning to take up a post- graduate course, which is an online MS in Information Security, I happened to just read it on a newspaper and get interested on it. Guess the techie blood is really running on my veins. I was really hoping that I’ll graduate this year and pursue my plans to lead me on the road I want.

Spark of Glamour

With all the distinguishing qualities of http://www.cards-411.com, the most that I adore is its superb talent and ability in combining into one body an amazing Baby Invitations and the picture of our baby in expressing its grandeur as the baby shower celebrity. Creating special design with a spark of glamour that composed the baby shower invitations is a clear demonstration of virtuoso art mastery that works like magic. With aesthetic mind working with extra ordinary pitch of imaginative precision, bringing out the best sensuous embodiment of a first-rate invitation baby design gave more comfort and great deal of confidence on me!!!

Finally

Finally I have a social life. My friends are complaining that I always turn their invitation down every time they ask me out. Last week I even said yes to meet up with my girl friends but I went home late from school and I was so tired already that I don’t have energy left for a night out.

Luckily, I was finish with one more defense yesterday and I said to myself that I deserve a break too. So I was able to go out, have some fun with my friends that I terribly miss.

Oh well, college life is really a drag. I am full of paper work, of thesis, of defense schedule. How I wish I will be finish with college soon as I am so sick and tired already of doing all of this.

My sister just went on a second honeymoon with her husband recently and all of us are waiting for the good news. We are all praying that soon, they will be distributing birth announcements and we will welcome the new addition to our family.


I am excited to have a second niece or nephew. I am so excited that I already started looking at http://www.birth-cards.com/ for baby birth announcements. I promised my sister that if she is pregnant, I will take care of the birth announcements card.

Getting announcements birth cards is no hassle as I can easily order for customized cards from Birth-Cards which they can print and ship the same day I approve the design.

School Events

Just this afternoon, we had a meeting with the school officers and they told us that our college department has assigned every organization to have different tasks for the coming Halloween party for the whole university. They want us to participate in the said event that’s why we volunteered to arrange and prepare the Halloween Invitations that will be given for each college department.

They want the Halloween Invitation to be simple in a creative way. Fortunately, we found http://www.invitations-shoppe.com/ that features special design wherein we can add photo or logo. We considered this in making the Halloween Party Invitations as it is very affordable for us.

We are now working on the design so that we can finalize it with Invitations-Shoppe as early as possible and by then we can be able to submit our orders and get them on time and finally distribute the Invitations Halloween to the different colleges.

Daily Message


On this day of your life, Vien, we believe God wants you to know...
... that faith is exactly what it takes to get through uncertainty.

Faith is not necessary when you know how things are going to work out, - that's knowledge. It's in the time of unknowing that having faith is what sees you through to the other side. Faith is what gives you strength. Faith is that light in your heart that keeps on shining even when it's all darkness outside. Now is the time to keep that faith alive!

Halloween comes before Christmas

Before Christmas, one holiday that I celebrate is Halloween. That is why as early as now, I am already looking for Halloween Invitations at http://www.invitations-shoppe.com/. I know how busy my friends are and so I like to distribute my Halloween Party Invitations as early as possible so they can reserve my party date already.


Good thing I can order Invitations Halloween from Invitations-Shoppe without hassle as they can email me the text of the Halloween Invitation within one hour after I submit my order and then they print and ship it the same day I approve the design.

I hope all my friends can come to this party and I promise that it will be a Halloween party that they will never forget.

Nightmares

There were many tragedies that happened just recently. They were indeed very tragic and traumatic especially for the victims who experienced the worst nightmares of their lives. Some were very fortunate to survive while others were grieving for their lost of their loved ones.

We never can tell how long we are going to live. Life is too short for us that we can’t make our own paths and destinies. We just have to face the reality that when the time comes for our last remaining breath, we just have to accept it and let go.

Things like these are really unexpected that is why many people are starting to have an assurance for their own and family’s sake. Life insurance quotes are already available now for those people who want to get their life insured so that no matter what happens, they will have security.

Anyway, let’s just continue to pray for all the victims involved that they may learn to forget what happened and continue to move forward.

Early Party Planning

Just few months from now, we will be celebrating Halloween and with that, my friends and I have planned an early party so for now, I’m starting to think about Halloween Invitation.

Out of the Loop

I have been out of the loop for quite some time now as I am really busy preparing for our thesis. I have missed a lot of our family gatherings and I haven’t been in touch with my friends from high school as I am really swamped with school work.

Blogging is the only thing that is keeping me sane right now.

I miss my Farm in Farm Town.
I miss my Pet in Pet Society.
I miss the kisses of my beautiful niece.
I miss chatting with my friends.
I miss my siblings and cousins (They will have a get together this Friday and I don’t think I can make it again. I already miss my aunt’s birthday treat at Amici, our favorite restaurant and I can’t believe I will be missing another get together for the nth time).
I miss going to the mall.

But a few more days and hopefully my ordeal is finish and I can go back to having a life again.

For Their 2nd

Yesterday, my sister was talking about their plans for a second baby. My niece just gives extreme amount of joy to the family so I was really excited when I heard from my sister that after almost four years, she is now ready for her second child.

I got excited and I was looking forward to planning for a baby shower for her that is why as soon as I reached home, I immediately checked the site of Cards-411 to look for baby shower invitations. This is where we ordered the invitation baby that we got for my first niece. I love their Invitations Baby as they even made a special design for us and they even gave away free thank you cards.

Check out http://www.cards-411.com/ to see for yourself how cute their invitations are.
