First of all, I would like to thank my Papa and my Mama :)

I love these songs by Psalty the Singing Songbook:

“Be thankful for all He has done, be thankful from the bottom of your heart!” I can’t remember the exact lyrics (please help me out whoever knows the lyrics)

There are so many things to be thankful for, isn’t it? InĀ  fact, the word THANKFUL is mentioned seven times in the Bible!

We look up and see the beautiful sky Isn’t that enough to be thankful for?

“In everything give thanks, in every situation, lift your voice and sing, and praise Him from from your heart!” Here is a link to the song :)

Beautiful flowers make the world more colorful, don’t they?

Children will be children, people say. To this I say yes, they are playful, innocent and impulsive but more often than not, we turn a blind eye because some of their antics are cute.

BUT!

If their being playful and impulsive seem to be intervening with the usual routine that mundane tasks seem difficult to accomplish, then it is time to stop thinking that their antics are cute.

What are these actions that seem inappropriate that are no cute anymore?

  • not being able to finish tasks
  • being able to concentrate for hours watching a video or a tv show but can’t sit still for a short study period
  • Being too curious enough to look through bags of other people or grab other people’s camera to look at the photos there or maybe grab someone else’s mobile phone
  • can not sit still when in a big group and this is very obvious since everyone else is sitting down
  • going out the doors and gates without regard for dangers outside
  • having fun without seemingly being conscious about the danger of hurting himself
  • tinkering the things in the house like channel surfing, jumping on the bed, standing up on the tv stand, putting hands in the freezer, turning on the microwave just because
  • not being invited to parties
  • not being able to cultivate friendships
  • works best with established routines

All these and more, are things to watch out for and if some of these are present in a child you know which causes you to be alarmed, click here to read more

Establishing a routine for exercising which includes walking and/or biking is not just beneficial for the physique but also a wonderful way to discipline one’s self.

We went biking and walking yesterday after we had a hearty brunch of tapsilog.

After that we went to the supermarket to get a week’s supply of food which I know will not probably last till the Friday.

With summer just around the corner, Ipanema Gisele Bundchen Seeds Collection is just the fitting foot wear for people who are not just fashion conscious but concerned with the environment.

Thong Strap Ad worn by one of the dancers of Philippine Ballet Theater during their performance on the runway.

The Ipanema Gisele Bundchen Seeds Collection has a forest inspired print in its soles. The metal spiral button sitting on the strap symbolizes the seeds of life.

And what is the significance about this?

With the economic crunch going on, we see a lot of companies folding up due to bankcrupcy or mismanagement.

Here in the Philippines, there is a huge problems with pre-need plan companies who spent the money on yatchs, sports cars and frivolous mansions had money invested by people go up in smoke.

For me, I still believe in the idea of getting a term life insurance but I have to know the stability of the company first and the qualifications of the people running the company before I do.

After all, these kind of business rely on trust and it would do well if that is established early on.

The theme for this week is WARM

In my other entry, I have photos each of a warm day and a cool drink ;)

Here is an Irish blessing quote that I came across and warmed my heart so I decided to use it and look for photos representing each thought:

“May you have warm words on a cold evening (the words of God can warm even the coldest hearts),

a full moon on a dark night and

a smooth road all the way to your door”

Irish Blessing Quote
