What makes you nervous?
Not enough funds. No clear source of a big income. Not being able to provide for the family. These are the things that make me nervous. All the others I can easily handle but when it comes to being the provider, it really makes me nervous when I don’t have enough.
My prayer actually is that I will be able to save enough for the rainy days. I want to be able to wake up in the morning without worrying about the income for the day. I want to be able to take a day off from work without the fear that I might be cutting off a chunk from my income.
Tuxedos, wedding gowns, hundreds of flowers, artcarved wedding bands… some people still believe in living happily ever after.
Someone I know was already jaded when it came to love. She wouldn’t budge on her belief that marriages don’t last. But she met someone she fell in love with and he convinced her to give marriage a try. You know what? They’ve been married for twelve years this year! It’s not an easy marriage but since they love each other, they are making it work.
There is still happily ever after… a marriage with both husband and wife working to make it last.
I swear I am dreading going on this out of the country trip. I haven’t been dieting and working out for weeks! I don’t know if I can keep up or if I will just make a fool of myself in front of others. I will also be sharing a room with all of them and I am dreading that as well. You see I snore so loudly (like a trumpet according to my sister!) that I am bound to disgrace myself in front of someone I ought to be bonding with (not disgracing myself in front of).
I need the best appetite suppressant to shed a few pounds before that day arrives! I need to work out a bit so I would know I can walk and keep up. I need to find a way to sleep without sounding the ‘trumpet’ in me! But how?!?
Argh! I am really dreading it!
There was a time when my uncle was rushed to the hospital due to a heart stroke. His eyes were affected. When he was recovering from the stroke, his doctors told him that they were in search of a specialist who could see to his eyes in relation to his stroke. His doctors found one in another city working for another hospital. It took them a while but they were able to find one and my uncle was treated and is now fine.
With Doximity, finding a doctor like David Johnson MD will no longer take so much time. With just a few strokes and a doctor in a field of expertise including his profile can easily be found.
My sister bought an HP mini a couple of months ago. Since my old laptop was busted back then, I kept borrowing her netbook whenever I felt like writing in other than my desktop computer. When I was able to save enough money, I bought myself an HP Compaq Presario. Now, I am saving once again so I can buy two hp desktops. One will replace my old desktop and the other one is for my brother. Admittedly, we are HP fans now!
I once bought a local brand laptop. Performance was okay but after a year it died on me. I want a more reliable laptop this time around. That’s why I bought an HP Compaq Presario. That’s also the reason why I am choosing HP for the desktops I plan to buy.
Why send flowers when you can send plants instead? Actually I am aiming to have a plant delivery paid for today. I want an Azalea Bonsai delivered to my aunt who isn’t feeling so well the past few days. It’s the weather. She has a fever and cough.
I know the Azalea Bonsai will divert her attention from her sickness. It will make her get up from her bed to look after her plant. She needs that. My aunt tends to baby her fever always and we don’t want that because it prolongs her sickness.
I know the plant will cheer her up so I better get the delivery lined up now.
My dad believes in giving out small tokens to people in our neighborhood. For him, it shows that we appreciate all the little help we get from them each day of our lives. For example, my dad gave alec bradley cigars to the man next door. He watches our house when we are all out. The man who is a few years older than my dad was so happy with the small token that he even sat outside our door with his big dog when we were at the beach. And my dad didn’t even tell him to do that!
It goes a long way. My dad’s right about that. We appreciate the little things they do for us and in return they appreciate the small tokens that my dad gives them whenever he can.
I think there is a proper time and place for teasing. It is not always right to tease someone especially if the person you are teasing her to is a married man.
I had a huge crush on this guy back in high school. I think I harbored feelings for him for more than four years. It was just something from my past that I am not bitter about and welcome a reminiscence of. I am friends with the guy on Facebook. He’s already happily married with a kid.
Anyway, so we interacted fairly recently about Facebook’s new interface. He told me a trick to get back the old interface because I instantly hated the new one. He left a comment and I said thanks when it did the trick. Now one of my really close friends left a comment teasing the two of us, you know something about puppy love or old love blah blah. I was irritated by it because all my friends and his friends could see that status I posted. What would they think if they saw the comment??? They would think I’m still harboring feelings for the guy when I no longer feel anything for him but fondness because he was a part of my growing up years! I immediately deleted my close friend’s comment and left her a note telling her why I did it.
She apologized to me right away. And everything’s okay after it. It would have been nothing had it not for that fact that there are others who could read the comment she left. And even the guy read it! Argh!
If the guy is single or we’re in a group page of high school batchmates, it would have been okay for me to be teased. But outside where everyone can read, I really don’t like being teased to him at all! The guy’s already married for crying out loud! Someone might think that I go for married guys. I don’t!!!
A morning news program showed a man getting a person’s credit card information just by holding a device that he pointed at another’s bag or pocket. It is called electronic pickpocketing and it’s becoming rampant everywhere! There is no need for the pickpocket to actually get hold of your credit cards or your IDs. The device alone can do all the work. Before you know it, someone else already managed to use your credit card to purchase something online.
So how do you secure those cards of yours? By knowing about rfid credit cards and getting one of those products that can block devices who can easily pick valuable information even when inside a bag. These days when almost every one is finding it hard to earn more, losing some can be a big pain. Better find a way to secure those credit cards, IDs and other important digitized stuff that you have.
My sister and I might go to Bangkok this coming Friday. She is actually scheduled to go there and I might just be tagging along. I am still hesitant to go but we’ll see…
One of the things I want to bring with me should the trip pushes through is a digicam. I have a DSLR but when I think about it, it’s a lot of hassle bringing it with me than a digicam which I can even put in my pocket. I told my sister that should I tag along, I will buying one of those best compact digital cameras online first. She actually agrees that I don’t bring the DSLR anymore as we are both lazy when it comes to dragging stuff in and out of the country.
I guess there will always be that teeny-weeny seed of doubt in my head when it comes to my finances. It’s the bad choices/decisions in the past. It’s the trauma of finding myself neck-deep in debt and with nothing to my name. It’s the knowledge that nobody can save me if I there is a big amount hanging over my head.
That is the source of my doubt. That small seed that doesn’t grow but also doesn’t go away. That small seed that has been planted deep for years and will forever be in there, I think, no matter what.
It’s a sad thing but something I have to deal with. I guess for the rest of my life.
A graduate gets less and less chances of finding work especially when he/she has a lot of competition. I should know because when I graduated, there were so many of us looking for work. I saw batchmates and acquaintances where I went to apply for a single open post.
A graduate has to have something in him/her for recruiters to take notice. Graduates of the Regency Beauty Institute Cosmetology school has that very something that recruiters will surely find a big factor in hiring them… their on-campus training! Students of Regency offer discounted salon services to the public while being monitored by the faculty. That’s training and experience which are big factors for Regency graduates to get hired!

We all work hard for our money. That’s why some people are very strict when it comes to spending their hard earned cash. They would impose rules at home and would often remind their families to learn to value the money they are spending because it’s not easy to earn it.
I know a lot of breadwinners who are this way. Strict with the money. I am, too. But when it comes to my parents and my siblings, I know when I need to be strict and I can proudly say that they never had to beg money from me. All they have to do is ask and when I know that it’s reasonable, then I give them what they need. But these two persons I know truly disappoint me in a major way! They work abroad, earn money and don’t have to pay tax. Do you know that I heard they hardly give their parents money for their basic needs? Both are senior citizens and rely on them for their basic needs and some wants. I heard that they even ask their parents to account for the money they gave them so as to justify the amount that they are asking again.
My goodness! I won’t do that to my own parents! When my mom was still alive, I gave her whatever she needed and then some. She knew how much I loved her and my desire to give her all that she wanted and needed. And my dad now, he doesn’t need to beg for money from me or my sisters. We actually give him everything he needs. I pity the two persons’ parents. I do wish I can give them something as a fall back when their kids won’t give them anything anymore.
I hate hearing things about the people I know. Negative things. Rumors. Hearsay. Lies. And even sometimes, facts that will surely leave me disillusioned at best.
My uncle’s wife to whom my siblings and I are close to has set up a make-shift store outside our backyard. They asked permission from my dad and he agreed. My uncle has health problems and this is one way that we could help them. But you know, much as we like my aunt, she has this bad habit of airing their dirty laundry where everyone could hear. She doesn’t know the meaning of a whisper. She often talks like she’s shouting every word. A couple of times I happened to overhear her telling a neighbor (or two) about her and my uncle’s disagreements. I hate hearing about those things. Those things should never have to be told to someone else and should be resolved between husband and wife! I’ve heard her do it a couple of times now and I am sorely tempted to talk to her about it.
The thing is she’s older than me. I couldn’t very well tell my uncle about it for fear of it being the cause of another disagreement between them. I couldn’t tell my dad about it for fear of us being called meddlesome. I just wish she’d stop it.
When we hear the word stencil, we immediately think of an easy task of spraying paint over letters or design cut. But the SMT Stencils that a neighbor of mine is using is not the standard one. It is made for small parts and that’s what he does in the factory he is working at. Operating a machine that stencils the small parts of the robot they are offering to industrial businesses.
It is a pretty complicated work but one where my neighbor’s skills are tested daily. He likes the job a lot and he plans to work for the factory doing the same thing for as long as the company wants him to.
If you come from a large family like me you know that there will always be instances when two or more of you will fight with one another. And this happens to anybody, no matter how hard you try to keep the peace at home.
My two sisters fought like crazy wild cats! It took a while to break them apart and to stop the exchange of words. It was so depressing and maddening that, as usual, I had to intervene and be the older one (as I am).
No matter how small a disagreement is between members of the family, whether they like it or not, everyone is affected by it. And it sucks when you can feel the hostility and negativity in the air at your very own home.
Two of my old blogger-friends whom I was very close to surprisingly added me in Facebook. I was surprised because it’s been years that I haven’t spoken to any one of them. They made some remarks about me that really damaged our friendship.
Anyway, so they added just days apart. I accepted their friend request and thought might as well bury the hatchet. I do think, though, that no matter what happens the closeness that we had in the past will never go back anymore. I think the crack in the friendship can never be mended ever again and that’s that.
The COO of the company my sister works for wants everyone present when he conducts a company-wide meeting. He wants everyone there all at once. To make sure that there is no excuse for those in other countries, he told all the offices to get conference call hosting. It will be used for meetings that he will call.
My sister was in Singapore when one such meeting was called by the COO who was in Netherlands that time. It didn’t matter what time zone every one were that day. He needed every one present so even those who just went to sleep got back up to attend the meeting online.
Joe is the neighborhood’s resident businessman. If you need anything, you ask Joe and he has it. You only need to go to his store and for sure it’s there. If not, come back the next day and he already has it. I remember hearing a lady go to his store to find the best barcode scanner. He didn’t have it that day but he ordered one online and when the lady came back the next day, he already had it.
When you ask the elders in our area, they will tell you that the world will be better if there are many Joe’s in it. And I say they are right!
I can work more when there’s music in the background. The same goes for my youngest sister. That is why I am thinking of getting wireless speakers for home. That way my sister can use it in the kitchen while she’s there while I can use it in my work corner while writing.
Music is a big part of growing up in our household. My mom used to have music in the background all the time, too. I think we got our love for music from her.
My aunt bought a samsung led TV. She said that it is for a better viewing experience for them. They are movie buffs and they love doing movie marathons during weekends. You can picture their whole family, my uncle, my aunt, my uncle’s two daughters and my cousin sitting inside the entertainment room with their popcorns and candies watching one movie after another. That’s how they are on weekends!
Actually, we are the same here at home. We love doing movie marathons. I am also thinking of upping the level of our viewing experience. But I will have to save up for it first.
Ever since I worked in a call center company a couple of years ago, I started having this thing for calling each person by name. I learned from my former bosses that calling someone by his/her given name is a sign of respect for that person. It has a psychological effect on the person, too. It is making the person feel important and known.
When I heard that a friend is giving a seminar, I told him that he better use name tags. That way it will be easier for him to call each person by name and to become more intimate with the seminar attendees.
Trust me. Call another person by his given name and immediately feel a bond forming.
One of the things that pisses me off is when someone pretends to be innocent or ignorant. I can see through these flimsy pathetic excuses! I had a co-worker who acted like this all the time we were working in the same department. Good thing I wasn’t her direct superior or we wouldn’t have ended up as friends now.
You can pretend all you want but don’t do it to me. Especially if it’s someone I truly know personally.
Hay.
It is unimaginable for someone like Mr. Lopez to be sick. But he is that and is actually very weak as of the moment. His family is taking action on what happened to their patriarch. The oldest of his children is a law student and he wants to file an Actos lawsuit as soon as he talks to their family lawyer. They are suspecting that a medicine Mr. Lopez is taking for his diabetes might be the reason why he is now sick. Legal assistance after a thorough checkup will be the step they will be looking into. For now, they have to pool their resources for Mr. Lopez’s series of medical checkups.
There’s a reason why there are experts in every field out there. We cannot know every little thing in every aspect of life. If we find ourselves facing a blank wall, we run to the experts for help. That’s what we do.
Just like what Daryl is about to do. He will call for an Austin personal injury lawyer and tap on his expertise. He had an accident at work and he needs legal assistance to be sure that the company will give what is due to him. He wants to know what his rights are and he wants to claim for medical assistance right away.
You might be in the same situation as Daryl. You can contact O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath – Personal Injury Lawyers – 808 West Avenue, Austin, TX. 78701 – 512-494-9949 now.
