Speeding Up Work with the Right Tools

Posted on May 17, 2012 by admin

There are many places with “choke points”. Choke points instead of check points. Check points are just way better than “choke points.” Why? Because choke points lengthen the travel time from an hour to two. The reason of the one way lanes are road reconstruction or roads repair. I wonder if they have the right equipment or tools because it is really taking them eternity to finish the project.

I just arrived from a trip to Siquijor Island and with a place that is not overly populated, we admire the roads. 99% of their roads are asphalted or cemented. The highlands of the island is made up of sharp rocks and I wonder what were used to cut them to make way for roads.

Now there is what they call diamond saw blades just intended for slicing or cutting diamond stone. It is said that to speed up work and do the quality cut, a cutter should use the right kind of tool. That is what it should be. People with right minds should believe this.

Getting to Know a Person Better

Posted on May 9, 2012 by admin

My daughter is now a growing up lady. In few weeks, she will be starting her Junior year in high school. Looking back to the time I was her age, I already have a boyfriend. High school crushes. I know it was not allowed in the campus yet I cannot remember much anymore how a guy courts a lady. lol!

My girl is already into crushes (actors and celebrities) but nobody yet from school. It makes my heart smiles deep inside. Though I don’t want her to go into any relationship while still studying but I would also love the thought that someone likes her. lol! Bad bad me (they said). Anyway, if ever one day, in the next two or six years, someone will court her, then for sure I would like to know the guy better.

How to know the guy better? Aside from having a back ground check I would also make friends with him and invite him at home for meals or just to relax with their other friends. I will also him that our home is open for his visits on days when they don’t have class. I will also remind them that they should prioritize their studies first. Love and friendship is fun during high school days but when there are love quarrels, it affects the studies. So better not be so serious in love relationship while in school.

Honestly, I wish my little girl will always be a little girl so that she won’t discover the world of love and attraction of the opposite sex. But this is life! All of us pass that stage which is just normal. This will really be a challenge for because am a single parent. I hope she won’t give me a headache later in life. Hmm I really don’t think so. I am raising a good girl. =)

Building Homes for the Sendong Victims

Posted on May 3, 2012 by admin

The tent city composed of those who became homeless due to the flood are still existing. In spite of the many volunteers that came to help build homes for them, still not yet have moved into their new homes. But I guess everyone is promised a home.

For some, it sounds lucky, but experiencing the flood in the darkness of the night is never a lucky experience. Surviving though sounds the luck was with you but in the moment where you don’t know you gonna live or die — it’s a traumatic one.

I’ve been wishing that ready to move-in-manufactured-homes is available in town so that when a family have enough funds they can just purchase anytime. But we don’t have outlets like that here in the part of the world, so we rely on volunteers to build homes for those who badly need a home.

Recognition for Years of Service & Teams Awarding

Posted on April 26, 2012 by admin

One of the main highlights during the 60th Anniversary banquet was the giving of recognition to workers who have rendered a specific number of years to Mindanao Sanitarium and hospital.

I think those who were called and given awards were lucky to receive recognition during that specific event. Though every year, the Human Resource give out recognition to workers. But this year is really special because it is the 60th anniversary.

During the giving out of the recognition, each teams were also given their awards after the whole year of participation in the Hugyawan 2011. It was one of the moments each team awaited because they were awarded with a big check reflecting the amount their group won. Our team came in fourth and our prize was Php 10,000.00. It does not matter really matter if we come out fourth, third, or second, or what kind of trophies and awards they give us. The important thing is that we have participate.

Planning for a Winter Vacation

Posted on April 23, 2012 by admin

Whatever vacation a family has to take, it really takes long time planning. Especially if it is a family with kids that are still very young. Parents do want a vacation that as much as they want to enjoy the fun, the kids too can absolutely enjoy whatever activity they are going to do.

A friend of mine, whose kids are now fifteen and seventeen is set to come home next year. They are suppose to spend summer vacation (July 2012) in the Philippines, but with very unpredictable weather, they move it to next year during the winter time. They would love to experience the basking in the sun when their home back in New York is enveloped with snow during winter time. Instead of making it to sunny Philippines this year, they are planning to take a winter holiday in Europe to let their children experience luxury ski for anyone who love skiing. As early as now, they can find ski deals at lower price -

Skiing holiday in Europe excites the children. I am happy for them, too. Linda said that this might be their last trip winter trip together as family because next year they will have it here in the Philippine and the next year, the elder kid will be going away to college and she is positive that Evan will not come back to stay long and spend another family vacation with them.

So far, this is my friend’s plan and last night she’s been browsing Supertravel Ski to get more idea which would be their exact destination to have the holiday. It is still the middle of the year and they can’t wait for the winter time to come again. As of now, they are still enjoying the feel of the sun.

How about you? Any plans for the winter holiday?

Water Water Water

Posted on April 23, 2012 by admin

Summer is here once again and daily the temperature is so high that a liter of water is not enough to quench your thirst especially when you are travelling. Be it on a private transportation or in a public one. But in public transportation, people tend to crowd so it can’t be avoided that the more the humidity goes up.

We’ve been traveling the past days and for me, 2 liters of water is not enough. Me and the daughter tend to drink and drink. That is why when we see a body of fresh water like outdoor water fountains it just feels so refreshing. It is like any moment, we would like to pacify the heat.

Today morning, the sun was so high and it was really so hot. But an hour before we left the Cabilao island, a storm was brewing Southern Visayas. Good thing we were off to central Visayas and it can be seen that the skies were clear out there. Indeed, when we arrived in Argao, it was not raining and the weather was just fine.

Right now, the daughter and I are heading back to Mindanao and guess what’s in one of our bags? Bottles of water!

Advisory tip for this summer? Don’t dehydrate. Drink water as much as you can. Water does not mean coffee, soda, and other tetra juices. What I meant with water is really fresh water.

Goodbye Blue Skies

Posted on April 22, 2012 by admin

I was so overwhelmed with blue skies for the past days. We arrived in Bohol Thursday morning and right away I fell in love with its clean blue skies. The blue green deep waters are so inviting that even for someone who is scared of the deep longs to jump in the water and swim.

But today, I say bye to the blue skies because we are heading back to Iligan City – the original home. I have made several adopted homes around the world but there is no sweeter home than the real home.

I guess everyone feels that way, too.
