misses her garden and wanted to go home

myOpinions — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 07:01:50 +0000

Even before, wifey always wanted to have a nice garden in the yard. So, back in our home country, she created a small space and started one. She planted seeds of different flowering plants as well as fruit bearing plants. For three years, she maintained that garden diligently. She was able to reap some fruits of that garden like her tomato.

Early this year, she bought one of those composters and started to make her own fertilizer. She said she wanted to use organic fertilizer for her garden, which I think is great. Using chemical fertilizer will somewhat has adverse effect on the health. But, her effort was wasted when we decided to leave the country. She turned over her garden to the owner of the house because there is no way we can transport everything.

For now, it is not possible to start a new garden because we are living on the 18th floor building. She keeps on telling me she misses her garden and wanted to go home. But, that is not possible for now because she has a contract to finish.

plans for gift giving this Christmas

myOpinions — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 11:58:37 +0000

Wifey had this idea of gift giving this Christmas. Actually it’s not a bad idea after all this is the time of the year where we can practice sharing. The only problem I have is the items to give especially to families. We can’t afford to give each family individual gift for each member. That is way beyond our capacity and budget.

Good thing we found these gifts for Christmas promo, where we have options on affordable set of gadgets under $20, $50 and $100. We just have to carefully select the best items that fit each family. We can get bigger savings from this instead of buying gifts individually.

fortunately we have discovery channel nowadays

Currently I am watching television while surfing the web. Fortunately, I’m tune in Discovery channel’s “How Do They Do It.” Well, it’s not all the time I get to know the process of making eyelash growth products. This ordinary and mostly use item for women doesn’t get much attention. That’s why I feel good whenever I watch something like this. At least I know how they do it.

Anyhow, I’ll continue watching the rest of the program. Good thing, its advertisement time I was able to write this small post until it resumes. Afterward, I’ll cook for my lunch coz’ it’s getting late already. Hopefully, I can get back here to continue updating this blog.

making her birthday special

myOpinions — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 20:21:59 +0000

Everyone is counting the days before Christmas. I’m also doing that, but apart from that I’m also counting the days before wifey’s birthday. It also falls on the month of December; which makes it a double celebration. But, I can’t celebrate the two events simultaneously because wifey will surely feel bad. We have to make a birthday celebration besides Christmas is weeks away from her birthday.

This year may be the first year I will be receiving salary from my profession. In such case, I want to make her birthday more special by giving wonderful tulips from ProFlowers. Instead of rose, I prefer tulips for a change. I always use rose for a long time to be on the safe side though it still puts a smile on her face. This time I wonder what her expression would be like after receiving deluxe hugs and kisses with 12 gourmet dipped strawberries. Anyway, my only goal is to make her happy and feel special. With those goodies and flowers, I’m sure I can achieve such.

temperature outside is really getting cold

myOpinions — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 19:01:51 +0000

The temperature outside is really getting cold. I really need to do something fast before the winter arrived. Wifey and I still don’t have jackets in our closets. We didn’t know winter exists here until recently. We thought it would be arid hot whole year round. So, we are surprised learning about the winter because we are unprepared.

But, it’s good to know there wouldn’t be any snow fall. The temperature will just drop maximum of 3°C (37°F). Even if that is the case, 3°C is still cold enough to give us chills. So, we really need some warmth, comfort and protection, which can be given by columbia jackets. It’s one of our preferred brands in terms of outdoor gear because they have a great outdoor product line that caters to different weather conditions.

Well, I just hope our financial blessings will come before winter hits. We might find ourselves chilling while waiting for the bus.

it’s still his choice

Julius, who is currently a waiter in one of the government offices here, is planning to go home to finish a hospitality course. Though he is still unsure what specific course to take, he is certain to enter this industry. Due to financial problems, he was forced to work abroad to support the family. After two years of working, he was able to save some money to reenter school.

If I were him, I would proceed culinary arts and become a chef in the future. He cooks very well, which is why I conclude he has the gift of taste. After mastering the art of cooking, he can then apply to Banquet Chef Jobs. I’m confident he will be able to succeed in this field. But, it’s still his choice besides it’s his life.

we have no choice but to endure it

hopefully they will invite us

Early this morning, I woke up with the noises my roommates are making. They wouldn’t know if I’m awake or not because of the curtain I put. I overheard them talking about the pool party invitation they received. It just so happen the four of them works for the same company so they are all invited. Unfortunately, the three of us aren’t part of it; me, wifey and bro.

It would be better if we too have an invitation like that. I feel like counting myself in, especially when I heard about having pool heat pump. Swimming and relaxing in hot or warm water is perfect for the cold I’m feeling; thanks to our strange AC unit. But, I can’t do that not until they will invite me, hopefully they will. If ever, I will surely attend and enjoy myself.

invitation that i almost forgot

love watching youtube videos

myOpinions — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 12:57:34 +0000

I love watching youtube videos there’s no doubt about it. Actually, it’s one of my pastimes ever since especially when I have free time other than web surfing. But, when internet connection isn’t that good, it’s a pain loading the videos. I don’t have the patience to wait for video to load forever. It only destroys my day when that happens.

However, it could be a different scenario now that I found the video downloader. Accordingly, this app allows a safe and secure youtube download to play locally on my computer. It’s the fastest, easiest, and most reliable downloaded on the web. The instruction is really simple to follow, which I share below.

To Download: Click the Download button above and follow the instructions in your browser. You may be shown a security warning by your browser, this is normal and Best Video Downloader is safe to install.

To Use: Simply click the “Download As” button under any video on YouTube (see screenshot above) and select the desired format.

This is really what I need. I can’t wait to give it a try and to enjoy myself on different videos.

still searching for interesting job vacancies

myOpinions — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 09:14:14 +0000

I’m feeling a little bored today. Well, it’s not surprising because we are stuck in the four corners of our room for three days already. We can’t just go out to look around the city because we are in a tight budget. At least, we have access to the internet connection. We can go on search for anything interesting including job vacancies where I found a number of availabilities in the beauty industry. If I only know someone who is a graduate of a beauty course from a reputable cosmetology school, I will definitely suggest it. Sadly, I don’t know any so I won’t need the information.

Anyway, speaking of cosmetology school I’m constantly reminded of the Houston beauty school of Regency Beauty Institute. Regency is the fastest growing beauty school in the country with 80 (and counting) campuses across 19 US states. Their approach is to emulate upscale salons and provide an exceptional education that benefits our students, the salon community, and the public. As part of their training, students provide high-quality, discounted salon services to the public under expert faculty supervision. Currently, Regency graduates are recognized and sought after throughout the United States.

still want to give the present

myOpinions — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 23:10:27 +0000

It’s quite late to give my brother a birthday present. I know, September 20 is way too over. But, I still intend to give him something just as I promised. I just can’t do it now because I’m really on a tight budget. Visa renewal is taking a lot of my money as well as wifey’s so we have to focus on that matter.

Like I said I still want to give him something. I’m already feeling guilty because I haven’t given him anything years before. I don’t want that to happen this year. It’s better late than never. For now, I’m looking at the funny t shirts I found in the web. It’s really cool and funny just as my brother likes. He loves shirts, no doubt about it, but he really likes those with funny remarks on it. I’m pretty sure he will love it. But, I still have to wait until I receive my first salary before I could make a purchase.
