Someday..

Yesterday we visit our friend to see their new house, they bought the house last year through house financing. It’s a two-storey house with two bedrooms in second floor. They have a small garden and a lanai. I like the house’ style and the paint color, I also like their home furnishings especially their patio furniture. Because everything is brand new and looks great- the house, furniture and appliances I can’t help but wish of having those things someday. Well, there is magic in believing so who knows? :)

Buying a refurbished laptop

Is it ok to buy a refurbished laptop? My friend wanted to buy her own laptop but her budget is still short for a brand new. Now she’s tempted to buy a refurbished laptop since the price is good enough for her. I cannot suggest or give my opinion since I’m not knowledgeable when it comes to electronics and gadgets so I told her to check on forums and review sites before she grabs the offer. Oh well, I hope she’ll be able to study and think it over many times before she let go of her hard earned money.

Hoping for the best

This year we’re just going to have a simple Christmas dinner for our annual Christmas Party instead of having an out of town trip. Also, unlike in the previous years where lots of tvs, dvd players, mp3 players, washing machine, groceries and more were given away, the raffle prizes will be limited this year. We’re quite sad upon hearing the news but we understand, like most businesses in the country our company is experiencing difficult times as well. Anyway, we just hope and pray for the best next year.

Task for the day

My boss instructed me this morning to search for industrial equipment supplies, he said we need it for our yearly machineries maintenance. Thanks to internet I can easily find what I need and compare prices from different suppliers. I hope to finish this task so I can allot some of my time to blog hop today. I really miss reading some of my favorite sites lately.

Christmas countdown

I always hear Christmas countdowns from the morning tv show we follow, so everyday I’m also reminded that I should start saving for holiday gifts this Christamas Season. But since we’re on a tight budget I wonder if I could do it at this point in time.hehe.

Anyway, I wish I’ll win in Pinay Mommy’s Book Giveaway contest I posted earlier, it’s a nice gift for my niece this Christmas, she’s now a stay at home mom and planning to start a career in blogging. Well, goodluck to me. ^_^

What a day!

Last night before going to bed I set my cellphone alarm, it should be 4:45 am but maybe because I was very tired and sleepy I erroneously set the alarm at 5:45 am so what happened was I woke up late this morning! Me and my kids hurriedly prepared ourselves to make it to school and work on time, but the situation got even worst when my son told me about his assignment in school. He said they need to bring three colored circular cardboards, with a popsicle stick attached to it and an ABC letters written on each. His Dad and sister were very upset when they heard about it, though i’m also dismayed, i just took all the things needed and started to cut the board using box cutter, paste the colored paper and popsicle sticks and wrote the ABC letters. Husband and daughter even though they were so upset also lend a hand. So, with all of us working together, we finished the assignment and made it to school and work just in time. Whew! What a day to start this week. :D

A get together invitation

My classmate in College sent an email message thru our yahoo groups this morning, she's inviting everyone in our class to meet on June 19 for our class reunion. She's been in Japan for more than a decade already that's why she's so eager to have a get together, and just in time one of our classmate will be migrating to Canada soon so it will be a farewell party for her as well.

I'm having second thoughts if i will attend our class reunion though i'm also excited to meet all my friends and classmates again after a decade of not seeing or communicating with them. One reason that hinders me from going is the time ( it's a night affair) and venue, I live in a province far from Manila so travelling will be difficult for me. Anyway, it's still 3 weeks away so there's plenty of time to think and plan about it.

What if..

A lot of changes are happening here in our office after our company sales manager filed her resignation two weeks ago, she and her family will migrate in Canada next month. This is not the first time that a sales manager in our company resigned for migration, the one she succeeded migrated also in London. Our president didn’t hire a new sales manager, instead he just transferred one manager from other department to sales department and assigned him as the new sales manager. This brought change in our organizational structure and so with our office set up so everybody’s busy in packing things, some office furniture were even transferred.

Anyway I’m not really affected with all the commotion in our office, i’m just wondering at this moment, what if we pursued with our plans to migrate in Australia few years back, what kind of life could we have or situation we could be in right now. Hmm..well, it’s a question only God knows the answer.^-^

Another writer’s block?

These past days I don’t know why I am not motivated to write, maybe because my mind is too occupied with so many things, that is, work and family concerns. Anyway, now I’m back to blogging, I have some tags and awards pending so I’ll edit them first and post them here. I also have pictures to upload, those were taken during our weekend getaway. I’ll post our pictures here hopefully by tomorrow. So that’s it for now, have a great day!

Back to work... back to school

The long vacation is over everybody's back to work and school today. Once again we're back on our daily routine, one of the hardest part of it is to wake up at 4:15 am everyday especially now that we have a very cold weather it's really hard to get out of bed and take a shower! brrrr...This morning my husband has to carry our son from his bed to our living room just to wake him up. ^_^

While my kids are excited to go back to school to see their classmates again, i'm super lazy naman to go back to work hehehe.. but whether i like it or not i know i have to report to work again. So it's start of another busy days for working moms like me. May we have enough strength to face our daily chores and responsibilities today and always..

The Measure of Our Worth

Last week i received a text message from a high school friend. She said we have a class reunion in one of our classmates' house. At first i was excited, i decided to come because i haven't seen them for a long time. But the next day I've changed my mind, i felt i'm not ready to face them. I know most of them are successful now in their careers and businesses. Me? I'm just an ordinary employee working 9-10 hours a day in the office and an extended hours at home.

This morning in my devotion, i realized i was wrong. I have measured my value with the wrong standards! God doesn't think more or less of us based on our job, our bank account, our home. Our worth and dignity are rooted in the fact that God created us and that His Son died for us. What's important to Him is our degree of trust and our service done for His sake.

"Many who are first will be last, and the last first." --Matt. 19:30
