Goodbye MJ...




I know this is quite late but my heart is still grieving after watching the memorial last night. I'm not a fan of Michael Jackson but I grew up with his music...and now I'm beginning to understand and appreciate his life and his contribution.

Two things I'm pondering about his death..One, we do not own our lives. Once God took it, we cannot hold it back. We may have plans for the future but God is still the author of our lives. And two, its really true that you only understand the value of a person once he's taken away from you. Jackson has gone through a lot of criticism but now he was being loved, praised and applaud.

He's now gone forever but his music and his memories will live on.

Good bye, Michael Joseph Jackson.....

Turning Dreams to Reality

This is one topic of Pro-tips from Ms. Maloi Malibiran-Salumbides that I want to share with you. How to turn dreams to reality. She used the word DREAMS as an acronym. Read on...

Determination. Big dreams entail hard work. They seldom happen overnight. Determination will fuel you to pursue your dreams.
Resist doubts. There's no doubt about it. Some people will doubt your dreams. Others will throw you a bucket of cold water to bring you back to reality. Don't stop, just because someone said "It can't be done." Press on and believe.
Enjoin people who will help you reach your dreams.
Appreciate small victories. When the uphill climb gets tough, celebrate the head way that you've made. Instead of fretting about what still needs to be done, be thankful for what has already been accomplished.
Make sacrifices. Sleep less, eat less, watch TV less, spend less. These are some of the sacrifices that you may have to make in order to attain your
dreams.
Set a time table. "Dreams are plans with a deadline." Setting a target date for your dreams to come true gives you a sense of urgency to start working on it.

Thursday Thunks: #1

Welcome to the July 2nd version of Thursday Thunks!
(which we always seem to post on Wednesday)
Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!
This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by
Kimber, the number 14 and the color of your mother's hair dye.


1. When you close a door, do you close it quick and just let it slam or do you hold the knob and slowly shut it tight? I hold the knob and gently close it. I don't like people slamming the door.

2.Train A is moving at 60 miles an hour. Train B is moving at 22 miles an hour. They will pass each other at X time. Now what color shoes are you wearing when train A derails? Black..my usual office shoes.

3. What if M&M's grew on trees? What color M&M tree would you have? red M&Ms :)

4. How many petals on a flower does it take to make it the perfect bloom? I don't know. It depends on what kind of flower. I don't count petals anyway.

5. I took you to spend $421.67 on you, what did we spend that money on? A dress, a bag and a pair of shoes! :D

6. If you were a squash, what type of squash would you be?
I don't like squash but If I'll be one I want me the sweetest one.

7. Have you ever gotten a wrong number call and ended up talking to the person for longer than 5 minutes? Nope. I don't usually talk to strangers.

8. Why haven't you joined Berleen & Kimber at Insanity Cafe yet? Do we stink? I'm new here and I' m yet to visit the Insanity cafe :D

9. Now for one of Ber's questions back when TT was brand new... Shampoo bottles say lather, rinse, repeat... do you? Shampoo, lather, rinse then apply conditioner then rinse!

10. It's July, the year is half over. Do you see it as "whew that part is over" or best is yet to come? The best is yet to come! :) I'm looking forward to two celebration for this month :) and I'm hoping for somethings to happen on us by the second half of the year..Maybe an addition to the family and a new job for hubby :)

11. Why do you do the Thursday Thunks meme? I find it funny and I'm enjoying my first entry :)

Celebrating Her Birthday.



Well, it's been a while. Haven't updated this blog for quite some time. I've been busy with my other blogs that's why. Well, what's up? We just celebrated my daughter's birthday last Saturday at Flamingoes in Marikina. She had a wonderful swimming party with her cousins. You can view a little story here.
