Blessings

After the promotion, here comes recognition. My Ane made me proud yet again. He texted me yesterday afternoon sharing that he was chosen to receive a company-wide award. The award will be given to 61 individuals chosen from the 600 nominees. There are gift certificates, a trophy and money reward that come with the recognition. These are just little extras because we’re happy enough that his performance at work was given importance. The awards night will be on the 17th, and I must find a dress to wear! I am also thinking of gifts for the husband but he just bought a nice pair of shoes last week (for the promotion). I can probably window shop for men's polo shirts but as far as I know he’s eyeing a computer upgrade and a new game. I’m still debating in my head whether I should give in to that request. He needs to convince me big time, LOL!

Anyway, we thank the Lord for showering us with blessings. July was also a good month for me, work-wise. Truly, God provides! :)

Love Quote

I shared this in the main blog and I just realized I have not shared it here too. True, true, true:

 

 

Let’s spread the love even if it’s not Valentine’s Day :)

Before We Know it, Christmas is Here.

It is already third quarter of the year. I can say it over and over again, that time is passing by too fast. I’ve started to save up for Christmas so we can give gifts this year. It has been an amazing year so far and a lot of people deserve to be thanked this coming holidays. Then I already need to plan for the holiday cards we can send out this year. Last year was photo-less so I am hoping we can make it different this year. And this reminds me that we still have an unused gift certificate to a photo studio. Klaire got it as a gift for her birthday but sadly, we haven’t gotten the chance to schedule a session. Must put that in our calendar.

What Kind of Blogger am I?

After doing my Adgitize rounds last night, I realized that I am a meek blogger, always trying to be safe about things that I say here and in my other blogs. I am not as bold as the others who have the tendency to attract angry readers that bombard the comments sections. I even stay away (or at least try to stay away) from politics, religion and all other hot topics because I don’t think I can handle arguing with people who don’t share my views. Is that good or bad? For now I cannot really tell. While I agree that some topics generate much needed traffic, I am not sure I am ready to take that path yet.

Project

We started a project, well at least we started planning for it. It is considered a short term project and I really hope we can get on with it soon. There is a small spot that we have no idea what it is for but I have this feeling it is for a fireplace rather than a cabinet. But why would there be a need for a fireplace in a tropical country like ours? Even outdoor fireplaces won't be needed in this climate. For now we’ll focus on the drawing board…and finding the resources of course!

Images are Not Loading

I am not sure why it happens but images won’t load when I browse using Chrome. I cannot exactly say it has something to do with our internet (which seems to have slowed down after typhoon Basyang) because the images load perfectly when I switch to Firefox. Can it be because of my extensions? I checked my active extensions and I can’t figure it out. I wish I have more time to tinker and research but I am trying to squeeze some work while the little girl is napping. Please comment on this post if you have an idea! :D

Franchise Ice Scramble?

I blogged about a month ago about a childhood street fare that we now get to enjoy without having to worry about Hepa: Ice Scramble. I am not sure if kids these days know of this shaved ice treat. But I guess parents should let the kids try it despite the sugar rush that comes with it, if only to let them experience it :) Here’s a photo of the glorified Ice Scramble available in the mall:

 

When I first tried it, I asked the lady manning the booth if they franchise the brand already. Maybe I asked the wrong person because she said no. Interestingly, my brother is in the same online community as the business owner and it was announced in the group that indeed franchising is available. Now let me tell you this, I don’t care if this is just a fad or anything but I think this is one of the best franchise opportunities in the food cart industry today. Given the chance, I will grab the opportunity to invest and find a good spot to sell. I wonder how much the franchising costs? Hhmmmm….

Another Eraser Cartoon

When I posted this, I really thought it was funny :) Then I saw this:

 

LOL! Brilliant, as my friend Zanne would say. If it didn’t amuse you the way it amused me, then shoot me! What do you expect from a sleepy head who tries to blog at 3am, anyway?! Harhar.

Ahhh Love!

Let me tell you a little story, but I will start with a question.

Have you ever fallen in love with someone so bad, so bad you could not breathe? I know someone like that! The word “fall” is the working term here, because I am not even sure if what she knew or found is truly “Love”. She could not wait to get out of here that I was thinking she’d need a portable oxygen concentrator if she stayed a minute longer.

Aahhh Love, you turn a person into a fool. Be gentle.

August Desktop Wallpaper |Freebie!

This is my desktop’s wallpaper for this month:

I created it using a friend’s kit exclusively available in Artscow. Isn’t it nice? (Of course, love your own!) You know what’s even nicer? I am giving this away for free (in three sizes according to your need and minus K’s photo, obviously LOL)! My friend JennyL is so generous she allowed me to do this random and little act of online kindness :) You can click the image above or click this to get to the download page. Enjoy!
