Speed Blogging on Independence Day

Sunday, June 12, 2011

We went to mass this morning. Happy Pentecost Day people :) Feel the Holy Spirit upon you.

Then had my coffee and now speed blogging. I need to finish some tasks first before I can relax and prepare for Meggy’s party later. Guess why I need to rush? Yes, because I chose to sleep last night. LOL! I have a valid reason though, we were out almost the entire day and that was tiring huh. :p

A few more blog updates and I am done. TTYL!

Oh, and Happy Independence Day too!

    Acquired Skill

    Saturday, June 11, 2011

    The priest who blessed our new school building earlier this week said in his short sermon that these days, any person has no right to be ignorant. There are a lot of ways to learn stuff that if you still end up being dumb, it is entirely your fault because you are plain lazy. I agree to some extent.

    Anyway, I remember the priest’s words after talking to an old friend. She mentioned that she enrolled herself at a Houston beauty school to earn a certificate in cosmetology. About time, I told her. I’ve known all along that she will take this path because she’s been interested in make-up for as long as I know her. I looked up the school, Regency Beauty Institute and I think she made the right the choice. After all, this is one of the fastest growing beauty schools in the US. I can’t wait to be her model soon!

    Body Shop Sale

    Friday, June 10, 2011

    My friends over at Twitter and IG are raving about BB cream. I got lost in the exchange but I picked that it is something to conceal uneven skin color on the face? Face Shop and Body Shop (and Watson’s too, I heard) sell this cream. Maybe I can check out the Body Shop sale, which is until June 16, and see if BB is included in the discounted items?

    The Body Shop Sale June 2011

    But then again, June 16 is just a few days away and I am not sure if I will be able to go to a store. Hmmmmm…

    Yellow Cab 10th Year Treat

    This year, Yellow Cab is celebrating their Tenth Anniversary. As a treat to their loyal customers, they are giving away 10-inch pizza NY Classic Pizza for every 18-inch pizza ordered. But this only happens every 10th day of the month. Since today is the 10th, I am hoping Ane can treat us to another pizza ;p

    Migraine and Pregnancy

    During pregnancy, mothers stay away from over-the-counter drugs by instinct. Or if they cannot help it, they only take medicines prescribed by their doctor. Of course this is because they want to avoid side effects some medicines may have on the unborn child. It is therefore heartbreaking to find out that at least one drug company promoted a migraine drug for unapproved purposes. Later, some babies whose mothers took the anti-convulsant drug Topamax while pregnant were born with lip/cleft palate. I understand if those mothers are compelled to file a class Topamax lawsuit (through O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath – Personal Injury Lawyers – 808 West Avenue, Austin, TX. 78701 – 512-494-9949). If you are one of those affected, maybe it is time for you to made a stand, too.

    Cheap Airfare

    We have a scheduled trip to Legaspi, Albay in October for Cate’s birthday and another to Iloilo in December for a family affair. I have been waiting for fare promos so we could save on transportation but I am less lucky these days to get seats. Just yesterday, Cebu Pacific announced zero-fare promo and would you believe seats were already sold out within two hours since the promo went live?

    I really wish we could grab a good deal soon so I can cross it out in my to-do list.

    School Opening

    We have been busy since early this week. We officially opened our school, RSI, on Monday. The week before, we had summer classes (deserves another post, albeit already past). It seemed like there was no order yet, which is expected on the first day of classes, but we are positive that things will fall into place.

    In the afternoon, when the first grade classes were over, we had the new building blessed. There are three classrooms (in addition to the library and computer room) and the teachers did a good job (over the weekend, if I may add) in making sure the rooms are conducive for learning.

    I will share pictures later when we are more settled already.

    When Accidents Happen

    Picture this: You are covered by an auto insurance then unfortunately, you get injured in a freak car accident. But the thing is, you got hit not while you are driving your car but while waiting on the pedestrian lights to go green. Surely, your insurance company will not cover this accident but the person who hit you must settle your claims, right? Sometimes, cases like this can be difficult to settle that is why you will need services of an Austin Personal Injury Attorney (well, if you live in Texas, that is. And you may contact one at O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath – Personal Injury Lawyers – 808 West Avenue, Austin, TX. 78701 – 512-494-9949). You will need the expertise of a lawyer to speed up the process of settlement.

    Golden Spoon
