Thank You Lord!

I just got home from my daughter's school activity (Educational Tour). I just rest a few minutes then went online. I was so happy upon receiving a lot of good emails today. My eyes went wide when I saw emails from PayPal telling me that I just received money from someone and also this particular email:

Blessings are coming in and I am just so thankful. God moves in amazing ways!

Harmful Ingredient

Have you heard of news about a person who only wants to become beautiful but end up into a total disaster? I have heard a lot of stories about it and so the thought of going to any derma clinics or cosmetic surgeons never occurred on my mind. In the US there have been several cases of patients filing Accutane Lawsuit because of suffering from the side effects of accutane after dermatologists prescribed it without informing them the risks. Accutane is is a treatment for severe cases of acne but is also very dangerous specially to pregnant women. I couldn’t believe that there chemicals like this that are even included to some beauty treatment products. Tsk, tsk.

Dilig

I led our worship this morning and I can't help but got teary-eyed with one the songs that I sang. Here' the lyrics:

DILIG

Talata 1:
Liwanag ay di pa masilayan, kailan?
Ngunit ang pangako ay aming panghahawakan
Sa lahat ng pagsubok na dumaan ang kahilingan pakinggan
Dumudulog Sa'yo...

Koro 1:
O aming Ama, aming mga luha
Ay dilig sa aming bansa
Aming panalangin, iangat ang mithiin
Maging lahing dakila

O aming Ama, sa'ming mga luha
Imulat Mo ang mga mata
Sa lahat ng takbuhin, magliwanag Ka sa amin
Mga pagtangis ay ipunin at dinggin

Talata 2:
Sa gitna ng ingay at kaguluhan
Anuman ang nararamdaman
Ang tinig Mo lamang ang aming pakikinggan
Anuman ang bagyo na dumaan ang kahilingan pakinggan
Dumudulog Sa'yo...

Tulay:
Salamat sa luha, isang dakilang biyaya (woh...)
Salamat sa luha, puso'y napalaya (woh...)
Salamat sa luha, isang dakilang biyaya (woh...)
Salamat sa luha, ang dilig ng aming bansa (woh...)

Koro 2:
O aming Ama, aming mga luha
Ay dilig sa aming bansa
Dinadalangin bawat isa'y sakupin
Maging ilaw at asin sa mundo

A bright future

Wouldn’t it be nice to see that your future is secured? Your children’s education is planned and taken cared of? You and your husband will not have to work anymore? I wish that I could have that life, LOL! I have been thinking lately about possible business ventures and investments because I believe the things I’ve been dreaming will remain as dreams if I won’t do anything to make it happen. I have read quite a number of articles in the United States Gold Bureau’s site and was encouraged to venture into investing gold coins. I just need to know everything I can and consult some of my trusted friends for their insights.

My Shoe Fetish

I haven’t bought a pair of shoes for a long time now. My last pair was bought when I was pregnant, a pair of flats. I want to have a pair of bandage sandals or a low cut boots. I saw something I like but it’s quite pricey. If only I had shoebuy coupons that I can use locally I would be very delighted. Anyway, I guess I have to keep on saving for these lovely pairs:

A New Home?

I’m currently looking for a better web hosting service. I;m looking into some of the cheap web hosting services that were recommended to me and carefully studying them. My blogs has given me tremendous blessings so far and so I am continuously poring over everything I can learn to enhance my blogging skills and the technical aspects of it.

No Effort

I don’t know what are those diet pills that work fast since I am not using one. I never really relied on diet pills to lose weight ever since. I’ve known a lot of people who never crossed out “losing weight” on their list of goals. Some have tried strict “no rice” diet, go to the gym religiously, but to no avail until they came to the extent of taking diet supplements already. I guess, I’m just blessed to have this kind of “figure”, lol!

Me? Jealous?

My helper is the one taking care of the little boy during the night. That is so that I won’t be having sleepless nights since I am working during the day. I’m thankful because I have complete sleep and don’t get dark circles under my eyes anymore unlike before, but on the other hand, I feel sorry that I don’t get to take care of the little one. Sometimes I feel a little jealous. Anyway, I know that this stage will pass and as my friend said, I’m still the little one’s mom and he will recognize that. Some sacrifices of a working mom like me…

Younger-looking Skin for Me

I noticed that my skin is not as good as when I was younger. Maybe because I’m over thirty years old already and so my skin is changing. I have to admit, I’m not getting any younger although I am petite and look young to all who knows me. So I started taking Myra-E vitamins. I hope with this there would changes somehow, hehe. Good thing though I don’t have to worry about acne skin care since I am not prone to acne, and I’m thankful for that. Well, being thirty really is a challenge, haha!

RFID Blocker

With the rise of technology today, the ways on stealing has evolved with it. Now stealing not only of money but also of identity has been overspreading with the use of RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) scanners. But the good things is that there’s a way to be protected with the use RFID blocking products such n rfid wallet, card sleeves, badge holders and RFID passport sleeves. How it works? Our credit cards, debit cards or ATM cards are embedded with RFID chips which can be easily scanned by thieves and electronic pickpockets. An RFID blocking products such as the RFID wallet helps block these personal cards in transferring radio frequency waves to that scanner. Wow, I am amazed. I hope we can have this kind of product here in the Philippines soon. That way we can be sure that we are protected.

I learned that...

...the US Gold bureau offers gold bullion , gold coins, silver coins and other precious metals. I think I need to know more about investing on these precious metals. Perhaps, with more knowledge on this, I will be convinced to buy gold coins later on. Although I know that even here in the Middle East where I work, gold is appreciating in value. It never depreciates. Maybe I will think now of buying gold here than buying electronic appliances and gadgets. Anyway, I can loan it or sell in a higher value when I get home. With gold assets, we will never be a loser.

Health Care Perks

One of the perks of being employed is having medical insurance and HMO cards. It’s a really big help to us especially when the kids get sick and needs special hospital care. Having health cards saves us a lot of money for hospitalization. But HMO cards have limitations too. It doesn’t give discounts or free medical services if the person already has pre-existing sickness of disabilities. But the good thing is that there’s the Medicare plan that can be availed by persons with disabilities. This is one of the reasons why I’m weighing things whether to leave my present job or not. Because if I decided to leave, I won’t be enjoying this perks.
