There so many things to be thankful for everyday, and today I decided to list down ten random things that absolutely made my day.
Today, I am thankful for:
1. A husband who cooked breakfast because I was too lazy to get up
2. A son who ran back to kiss me goodbye before riding the motorcycle to school
3. A mother who texted if I wanted anything in particular for my packed lunch tomorrow
4. An office mate who split her lunch in half and said "hating-kapatid."
5. Some Ferrero chocolates from office mate, just because I helped print some presentations
6. A boss telling you how you make things easier for him
7. A sister, who despite her busy schedule, keeps on sending those funny forwarded-text messages
8. A mother-in-law who despite having forgotten to leave her some cash, made arrangements to have the TV repaired
9. A sister who help my kids do their home work
10. A guard who helped me look for a missing umbrella
I could list down a lot more reasons to be thankful for today and I realize, despite whatever problems I may have, it really is a beautiful life!
Commitment. A word that some people have quite forgotten. And Honest Abe has something to say about it:Commitment is what transforms the promise into reality.
It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions.
And the actions which speak louder than the words.
It is making the time when there is none.
Coming through time after time after time,
Year after year after year.
Commitment is the stuff character is made of;
The power to change the face of things.
It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.
Colorado Ski Vacation? A dream come true! That is what it would mean to me! See, the Philippines is a tropical country and cliche as it may sound, I want to experience snow and everything that Colorado has to offer. And a ski vacation would just be heaven!
Of course, there are also options to customize your vacation to include skiing, climbing, rafting, hiking, and so much more and experience what Colorado has to offer. For the faint-hearted, since these are all physical and strenuous activities, you can also opt for more a relaxing vacation liking biking, camping and shopping. Or combine all of this for a really a dream vacation! Wow, what else could you possibly look for in a vacation?
At kung titignan mo sa malayo, kay yabong ng kanyang mga dahon at kay lawak ng nabibigyan nya ng lilim! Kuha ito sa Dauis Church Complex sa Bohol. Ito yung giant acacia tree naibigang mabuti ni Market Man, kaya nga pilit namin siyang pinuntuhan ng mag-Bohol ulit kami last month.
Ito ang lahok ko ngayong Huwebes sa Litratong Pinoy.
But after doing the Math to my son, how can I tell him that I want to watch this movie? They know that I am a HP fan: I have the books and the DVD to show for it. Now, what's a mother to do?
Cebu Pacific is introducing its new photo contest, The Wandering Juan! All you have to do is bring your Tsinelas and trusty cameras when you travel to any local or foreign destinations (where Cebu Pacific flies) and take your memorable travel photos.
Remember my husband's poorly managed hypertension? He had another episode this week and had to change his medication into a stronger dose. However, he is complaining of palpitations and he is now with his doctor to check if he should switch back to his previous medicine. I know, his hypertension really is poorly managed.
The above plant is commonly known as Pansit pansitan and it can be found near any garden plants. This one is taken in my neighbor's dish garden. I was told by well-meaning neighbors to boil the pansit-pansitan and have my husband take it as a tea, every morning and night. I made this into a tea for my husband last night and he said it doesn't taste bad.
I am not really a fan of herbal medicine but since Pansit-pansitan has been recognized by the Department of Health among its list of 10 scientifically validated herbal medicinal plants, then I am okay with it.
If you guys have a bad experience with Pansit-pansitan, please do share here.
