Living healthy by eating nutritious food is properly introduce especially to students to educate them at early age.

Yesterday, most schools in our town celebrated the last day of the Nutrition month by having some school programs. In my brother's school, they presented a song number with a little bit of dancing and drama in relation to the importance of proper nutrition.

Children's Sunday

Yesterday we celebrated the Children's Sunday at CDO first Assembly of God Church, Nazareth. I am glad to see that children in our church were given the chance to lead the whole Sunday's Service. Some kids were assigned to lead the praise and worship and some were the worship leaders.

An Early Plan for Family Trip

I could never imagine how my cousin handles herself as she been so busy working but good to hear that she is planning to take her long vacation trip with family this year. It is summer once again and as flight attendant, she never had the chance to take a vacation during this peak season. She will take her one month vacation by November and this time she planned to have it in a new place with family at the beach. As early as now, she is searching for a nice and unique destination for the trip. Sometimes during her long day off she usually traveled to Hawaii or California to visit her friends and relatives.

She deserves a good and nice long break. Last week, she told me that she finally found the right place for their planned vacation. As she was browsing through the net, she gets to bump into http://www.seasidemb.com website. Upon having a thorough search on the website, she found something that she appreciated well; it was about the Myrtle Beach Accommodations that seemed interesting to her.

My cousin is fond of going out to shop or go to beaches with family during her short day off. This is one reason why she wanted to go out and try another beach resort in other places. The soonest possible, she wanted to get her Myrtle Beach hotel reservations or else her hubby might change the plan and divert it into other destination.

Family Day

It is sunday once again and the usual thing I do is to cook something special for my family for our lunch. From church,we usually go out and have some Malling or anywhere we wanted to go as long as we all out together for a day of bonding.

Today, I decided to prepare hubby's and Paolo's favorite viands for lunch. I prepare "CRABS" and my "Special Kinilaw"

Paolo's Long Day of Practise in Church

Today is the second day of Paolo's practise in church for the preparation of Children's Sunday this coming July 25, 2010 at CDO 1st Assembly of God Church, Nazareth.

Paolo is very excited to perform for their presentation.

Food Trip at Mandarin

After Paolo's exam, we decided to go out for lunch. We went to our favorite restaurant name "Mandarin Restaurant".

The usual orders for all of us. Hubby's, Paolo's and my favorite dish for lunch. Simple but can really satisfy our starving tummy.

Big Bite for Paolo's Peach Almond Salad. SAAAAAAARAP!!

Everything is meat. Hahaha! We need to drink hot tea after eating.

What a Sunny Day after Typhoone

What a good and sunny day.

We are very happy for a good weather condition after many days of heavy rains as the typhoon named "Basyang" came and destroyed many houses and even killed many fishermen in some part of our country. Another challenge to Filipino people and altogether we will pray for the safety of everybody during this natural calamities.

Some suspended classes resumed today. Praise God!

My Hubby's Birthday

Today is another exciting day to my family. It is the birthday of my hubby and all of us are busy doing something special to make his natal day special as well.

My brother Paolo helps me baking Johnny's birthday cake and ate Mitchel helps me cooking our viands for our dinner.

A simple but heartily decorated cake for my hubby that is also made out of our love. God bless you always.

Independence Day

Today, people in United States of America is celebrating its 234th year of independence. My family and friends are having a get together party. God Bless America!!!

First day of School

The long summer vacation has finally over and students are starting to get busy for school. Some are still having the vacation hang over but some are excited to go to school once again.

Taken on the first day of his school with his lunch box.

My younger brother, who used to play and hang around with playmates during vacation, is very excited to go back to school once again on the first day of classes. He tries to sleep early but later he told me that he could hardly sleep because of too much excitement. This is very common to students who like what they are doing. Going to school is not a burden or just a mare routine activity but has to do more than material things that a person possesses. Education is the only thing that no one could take out from you. This is the very important treasure that most parents could hand down to their children.

I have taken some pictures of my baby brother inside their classroom.

Setting the Priorities

My brother Paolo has been addicted to online computer games for more than 2 years. And this year’s grading period, he got the lowest grades ever for his entire life in school. My parents were very disappointed on his performance because all of his major subjects like Math, Science, English and Civics have just got the lowest grades ever. Due to the successive of playing computer games, he never realized that he misses some of his important priorities on his life-like his studies. He even forgot to ask any help from us regarding his academic problems.

Just recently, my mom decided to hire someone who could tutor him and help him give the Math answers for his math related problems. He really needs somebody who could help him coup up with the lessons he misses for the past months. Mother tries to help and give the best in order for him to pass the subjects to continue college. Giving the best precalculus help is what mother thinks he might also need during this period.

My nephew, who is in college, had the same problem with my brother also. He just recently found out that he has started to become addicted with computer games. Mother told him to set his priorities first. Mother then recommends Jez to find someone who could help him on his academic concerns especially the College algebra problems. I am sure that he will be needing calculus help on his third year in college.

There are many things in which most students are having a hard time dealing with. There are possible obstacles in which they must overcome. The only thing that differs here is that how the person deals with the obstacles and setting the priorities in life in order to achieve the success of their desires.

Computer Games Addiction

Nowadays, playing online games, computer games, play station, PSP and etc. are becoming the most favorite hobby to most children in today’s generation. I have seen the bad effects of these games to kids and even to teenagers when they got addicted to pc games. The bad influence of these games sometimes leads them to stop studying and some got the lowest grades to all their subjects. Kids nowadays would prefer to play pc games rather than sports.

My younger brother is one of those kids who are addicted to games. For how many years he was never get rid the bad habit on giving more time playing rather than studying. This year, we let him choose for what he should see the best for him. And he said, he rather chooses studying and sports.

On my opinion, playing pc games are not bad. The only thing that makes it bad is that, when a person plays too much and forgets what the priorities in their lives are, this makes a person becomes stagnant and not progressive in life.

Happy Independence Day Philippines

Happy 112th years anniversary Philippines!!!

Keeping on Guard

School days are fast approaching. I can now smell the fragrance of the ink of my pen on the notebook. I am having a vacation hang-over since I had a great summer experience this year. It just that great experience happens in unexpected situations. Our house had been ransacked while we are on our way to the beach. Lockers are supposedly to tighten the security of our house but that did not just worked. Worst than ever they jammed especially the wood lockers, forcing us to break our cabinets to see if some of our jewelries were saved. Fortunately, some of the jewelries where is there. It was just funny because they did not manage to unlock the wood lockers forcing them to just jam it off. Those thieves are unconscious that there are lockers for sale that are as durable as we have. Good thing they didn’t took much from our house.

Going back to the school thing, I am now more vigilant to thieves; first part of my preparation is to secure a school locker. This would be one step of keeping my things safe while busy on academic field. Since I still have a Physical Education subject, I also secured my own trusted gym locker to assure that the locker will not be as lousy as security would be. Even in my car I produce a specially made alarm expecting that the feeling of being robbed will not happen to me in jeopardy. My best part of duty will be on guard while I am in school this school year. It will be one busy, vigilant year.

Global Recession

Recession has been spreading throughout the world and every one is affected by it. Majority of the countries are affected by recession and some really experienced great damage except for a few countries. We can also say the USA is the number one affected by it. People got laid off, some got big bills and even some old folk’s benefits have been removed.

In the time of downfall it is the time to sit down and think what we should do in order to survive this economic crisis. This is the time to think about business. Some people engaged into a business like franchise. In franchise you don’t have to worry of creating idea or business origin because it already exists. All you should take care is how to manage the business that is already there and make it grow.

Some big company or firm engaged on this kind of strategy to earn bigger profit. They provide franchise for sale in order to have additional income and to expand their range of services. Just like fast food chain provide franchise services to expand branches around the state. Luckily there are many franchises for sale you can find online now. From online business, marketing to product the can provide it all the opportunity.
