Still Undecided

Last week, while we were on vacation, my daughter’s Omi asked her what course she is going to pursue in College.  She still could not give an answer because she is still undecided.  For sure she does not like medical or allied courses.  She does not want to do anything with blood or anything related to clinical duties.

In my opinion, it is fine if she won’t take nursing.  But i was hoping she would take up Medical Technologist so that she will just study here in the College where I am working.  But sensing here, it seems that is not the course she would like to have.

I suggested one time that she takes up management course or maybe an accounting course and then take the CPA later.  As there are many management jobs available today. But still, she is undecided. She is interested of marine biology or marine engineering. She also mentioned of photography. Oh well, she is still young so we are not pressuring her to decide.

If given the chance to convince her, i will let her take Med Tech if not BSE or AB English, and then she’ll pursue a Masters in English and a Masters in Linguistics. Her Omi suggested she takes HRM. Oh well, she is still young, she can take up as many courses as she wants to take. But she should be sure about one thing — she can study as much as she can as long as she won’t get married yet.

DIMPLE’s Experience with Chicken Pox

She had it when she was in the 5th grade.  Good thing her fever was not worse and still can eat.  All she did was eat and rest and days later when pox turned black, she started playing with your cat.  :)

She does not want me to take her picture, but i was able to take a photo of the biggest pox.

The biggest on her her right side shoulder.

I kept coaxing her to pose for me.  She did finally when she has no more fever and few days before she went back to school –

and she did finally! But, look! can you see her?

An Evening at Holiday Pool

It is not always that we spend an evening at a pool here in the place called the City of Waterfalls.  Thanks to the 12th Adventist Health Professionals Association Convention the Saturday evening activity was swimming at the pool.   Luckily the peace and order situation here in the city is good so no one have second thoughts of going out swimming in the evening.

The visitors from nearby places enjoyed the night eating, swimming, chatting, and just bonding with fellow AHPA members.

Dimple also got a long weekend, so she spent two of those nights with me.  She was one of those who enjoyed the cool cold water (flowing spring water) that evening.

Let me share some of our photos:

- there were 3 subdivisions of pools – one for the kids, one for the adults (swimmers) and one for adults who does not know how to swim. -  The place were i enjoyed swimming.

- they are both excited to swim. Ma’am Jaedee can swim.  But dimple can’t but the daring spirit of my daughter allow her to venture even the deepest of that swimmer’s pool. -

If you will ask me where i was, i was only a sidepool buddy.  Holding to the rails because i feel like the water or the heights or depths is sucking me up.

The place is already beautified for the season but my camera did not capture them beautifully.  What attracted me are the bright colors of the handrails on the minibridge and the canopy at the sidepool

- take note of the bright yellow and orange. they are so attractive to the eyes even in the evening.  so i can just imagine the brighth glow it brings to the blue waters during day time.

- this is what you can see at the kiddie pool. :)   my daughter says she’s too old for that area.  -

- i can’t swim like a professional swimmer but i did have fun that night! -

We went home in our wet suits and there was no water in our dormitory.  Luckily the bathrooms in our office got water pouring so we have to bath in the office. :)

Had carbonara is our midnight snack before i decided to call it a night.  I think Dimple went to sleep at past 1 am already.
