Security Matters

Some random thoughts...

It matters to me that security is tight all the time. I am paranoid like that. This is coming from someone whose house once got compromised and broken into (long story). You can’t really blame me. So yeah, security ranks high in my list of considerations. Thankfully, my parents share the same views. We are currently doing our best to keep security tight in our school (which reminds me, there is a metal detectors sale we can check out should we need such items). There is someone who guards the gate and pupils can’t leave the school premises unless with a registered fetcher. Solicitations are also not allowed. Sometimes the parents themselves try to go around our security measures. That makes me sad and frustrated. I wish they will work with us instead in making sure their kids are safe.

Success

I saw this image in my FB feeds:

It’s true isn’t it? Success depends on perspective. And one can never underestimate another person’s capacity to succeed because he will never know what the other will reap in the end. This is such a nice reminder never to compare where your accomplishments with others. To each his own.

Temporarily Disabled

A friend’s son suffered an injury while playing his favorite sport, soccer. He twisted his ankle over the weekend. This I heard after the NBA Eastern Conference Finals which went to Miami and the stunning loss of Manny Pacquiao against Tim Bradley. Indeed our weekend was full of sports news and happenings, eh? Anyway, there is no permanent damage to the boy. His doctor just suggested the use of one of those knee scooters so his ankle will not be forced too much while it heals. I wish he gets better soon.

Nice Vacation Home

I was just browsing friend walls in Facebook when I came across a high school classmate’s newly uploaded photos from their vacation. As I cannot go on one in the near future, I vicariously went through friends (like this recent trip of theirs). Their family rented a villa up the mountains. The porch even have a wood-burning fire pit for those cold nights and I can just smell the pine trees around the house in my head! :) I will have to ask her about the details of their trip so I can plan based on their itinerary…when I am able to travel again.

Why Dinosaurs got extinct

Ever wondered why and how the dinosaurs got extinct? Maybe this was why:

LMAO! Sorry for this corny post but I really found the image too hilarious not to share. I can just imagine the look on their faces when they realized the ark left without them…because they missed the date. Harhar. Such comic relief ;)

Memorial Day

This is is late greeting but Happy Memorial Day to friends and family in the US. My hands have been full (very!) after the birth of the new baby, that’s why I haven’t been online that much. Anyway, I have seen lots of Memorial Day celebration pictures so I am guessing that more than the Sales, people had a meaningful break. Some went to the beach or lake, others had picnics. One friend even looked for broil king grills at GrillsDirect.com beforehand so they can have a nice BBQ party in their backyard. I just finished talking to my sister via Facetime and they are already pooped from all the  activities over the weekend. What a fun long weekend, huh?

Here’s some cheers for all the heroes of the US :)

It’s Time :)

Homestretch

I have really reached the homestretch. I am giving birth soon. When I say soon, I mean within the week. We are finally meeting our second princess in a few days. This pregnancy is so much different than the first one. I am more on my toes this time, with the weight struggle and all. But everything is looking up especially after my check up yesterday. Our stuff is ready, and should I go into labor before the scheduled C-section, we can go to the hospital anytime.

 

I am starting to get really excited about giving birth :)

Authentic Fragrances at a Discount

My high school classmate is into distribution of perfumes and she has a stall in GH. I always buy from her because I know she will not scam me and sell me fake ones. I am telling you, her merchandise consists of authentic labels. She sources those discount fragrances from abroad so she is able to pass the items to her patrons at a discounted rate too. Just holler if you need to get perfumes and I will try to hook you up with her.

Best Job in the World

Everyday seems like a challenge. I guess every mother around the world will have to agree with me? But I will never exchange being a mom to my K and Boo (who’s arriving real soon) for anything else. Yes it is difficult to be a mother but the rewards are far more relevant than the setbacks :) A hug or a kiss or a giggle can wipe the worries away.

I would like to share this P&G TVC for the 2012 Olympics. So heartwarming it made me cry, gave me goosebumps too. Cheers to all mothers!
