Shift

As most of you already know, my family built a school just this year. It is very different from our previous endeavor, a restaurant-bar.  When before we had to worry about the inventory day in day out, the service staff, and even the POS similar to the Aldelo System, these days the daily operations seem more lax. Once the forms are ready and the pupils settled, we’re pretty much on track. But the responsibility is heavier as we are imprinting lifetime effect on children. We pray each day for guidance so every decision we make will be for the betterment of our wards.

Cute Camera USB Drive

Have you seen this cute USB thumb drive from photojojo.com?

I say this is the best gift to give a photographer, would you agree? The “lens” detaches from the “body” so you can attach it to your device. For $20 + shipping and a 4GB capacity, I say that’s a good deal. Free shipping for orders over $50.

Are those days gone?

I came across some products by wilson cell booster canada while doing some research about Canada and I realized that even if we are already in the fast-paced world, there is still the need for cell boosters. Apparently, dead spots are still around? Good thing there are companies who still sell boosters, eh?

I remember in the late nineties, when GSM took the market by storm, people literally had to strategically position themselves to get a signal. Some even jokingly had to climb their roofs to take a call uninterrupted or send/receive SMS without lags. Funny just thinking about it. We have come a long way since then because mobile providers are able to install cell sites. Dead spots may still be around but I am guessing these spots have become fewer as the years go by.

Variety of Topics

I love my online community, the one we call Twitterlandia. The ladies there have turned into real life friends and I “talk” to them almost if not everyday. I love that we have become comfortable sharing just about anything and you will be surprised at the wide spectrum of topics -- from parenthood/family concerns to hot celebrities to must have accessories to even fat burners that work fast. You bet it is never dull to be around these ladies. Each day I learn something new and I owe it to these ladies that I am still sane to this day ;)

Turning in early

I was planning to update my blogs tonight but I feel the need to rest early. I guess the busy weekend caught up with me and now I feel I am going to get sick. Throat is scratchy now (since this morning actually) :( I took a double dose of Vitamin C and lots of water. I hope this will go away tomorrow as we have a lot of things to take care of in the school. Our day will start at 530am!

Good night!

*poof*

Buying Gold Bullion

You probably have heard of ingots. These are in fact gold or silver metals in the form of bullion. They come in convenient sizes and shapes and are considered to be unique  investment. Instead of buying stocks or putting money in trust funds, to buy gold bullion is an alternative. Not everyone is aware that investing in such is a sound financial decision because the value appreciates. I have a friend who once mentioned that he and his wife bought some ingots a couple of years ago, and now have gotten their ROI and profits doubled. They definitely did not regret going this route.

Cirque du Soleil Varekai in Manila

Cirque du Soleil Varekai finally opened in Manila. According to their website

Deep within a forest, at the summit of a volcano, exists an extraordinary world—a world where something else is possible. A world called Varekai.

From the sky falls a solitary young man, and the story of Varekai begins. Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest, a kaleidoscopic world populated by fantastical creatures, this young man sets off on an adventure both absurd and extraordinary. On this day at the edge of time, in this place of all possibilities, begins an inspired incantation to life rediscovered.

The word Varekai means "wherever" in the Romany language of the gypsies the universal wanderers. This production pays tribute to the nomadic soul, to the spirit and art of the circus tradition, and to the infinite passion of those whose quest takes them along the path that leads to Varekai.

After the premiere night, I started reading rave tweets about the show. They say it was spectacular and it isn’t too late yet to get tickets for the show. I checked the website and there are a lot of seats still available. As for us, we are are scheduled to watch on July 7. *grin* Needless to say, I cannot wait for the day to come! watching Cirque is actually in my bucket list and I am happy that the husband is making it real for me :)

Postponed

So sad that we had to postpone our home spa bonding session. The rains have not stopped and then we lost electricity around lunch time. What do you know, a small cyclone hit some communities a few blocks from here. That explained the power cut-off. I am glad that it did not pass by our village, else, I would have panicked! I just feel sorry for the affected families. Ane passed by the New Manila area and he noticed fallen trees and branches. In the news, some house lost their roofs. God bless us all.

We’ll just have to reschedule some other time. I really hope we push through with the plans.

Today is Spa Day :)

The ladies of E are coming over for some girl-bonding. About time we see each other again, because the last time we were together was back in March! We were supposed to go to the movies or spend time in a spa, but I could not commit. So I invited them over and we’ll just have food delivered and we’re calling spa/nails home service :)

The house, thankfully is in order and ready for guests anytime. Just a little scrubbing here and there and we’re fine. We also need to clean up the garden a bit because the rains and winds left fallen branches and wilted leaves. We won’t need simplicity zero turn mowers because there's no grass to mow anyway :)

Can’t wait to have them here. Can’t wait to be pampered too, heaven knows I badly need a pedicure!

A Quiet Royal Wedding

Another Royal Wedding is happening on July 2 sans the fanfare that came along the union of Prince William to Catherine Middleton. This time around Prince Albert II of Monaco, 53, will marry Charlene Wittstock, 33, a South African national swimming champion who competed in the 2000 Summer Olympics. The couple has been together for four years now but the lady is used to love in the shadows of the Prince, appear on his side when summoned and just smile and say little. After the wedding the bride will become Her Serene Highness, Princess Charlene of Monaco.
