Sunbathing

27 Aug

 These are the typical scenario at the beach during this season of the year. Many people go to the beach to tan themselves, hang out with their friends and family and of course to surf and enjoy the waves. It’s so irony though because in my case, I was born tan naturally and I want to stay under the shade as much as possible because I dont want to get dark tan. On the other hand, American spends a lot of hours sunbathing under the scouring sun because they want to get tanned. They think that tan people are gorgeous (: anyway, hope you all enjoyed viewing my photos above.

 
 

PhotoHunt 225: Colorful

06 Aug

This week’s photohunt theme is about “colorful”. And my entry is my daughter wearing her colorful summer attire. We were in our front yard getting ready to go somewhere at that time, but before we walk up to our van I took a couple of pictures of my children. They’re always my subject when I’m holding my camera. I hope my daughter will never get tired of striking me a pose when I ask her to do so because my son, he got tired of it and when he sees me holding my camera he’ll hide or ran off because he doesn’t like me taking pictures of him.

 
 

Skywatch Friday, Season 4, Episode 50

25 Jun

 It’s about time to participate the skywatch Friday once again. Here’s my entry. It was a beautiful day in the mountain of Cuyamaca State Rancho Park here in San Diego. We enjoyed the nature and the breathtaking scenes. Just by looking up on the sky was magnificent. I can see the tranquility and the birds were cheeping. You will really appreciate the Mother Nature when you see this kind of nature. I have a lot of nice photos taken from that place and I look at them every time I want to meditate about good things in life. Ok so much for that, if you want to see more sky visit here. Thanks for viewing my entry and hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

 

Looking for employment

26 May

A close friend of ours just moved out of  San Diego because of the recent recession. It’s really expensive to live here and I guess they couldn’t afford it anymore because my close friends husband lost his job here as a transmission mechanic. It’s so hard to find work here now. They decided to move back to Philadelphia with their family so that their parents can support them while they get back on their feet. I feel sorry for them. She told me that her husband has been searching the classified pa job listings for work and might have something next week. He said at least there’s more work out here in Philadelphia. He needs to find work soon because they have 2 children and the parents can’t continue to support them for very long. I wish them the best.

 
 

On sale

09 May

I went to our local pharmacy store here in our place to purchase formula for my daughter. I didn’t plan on buying the big can but they ran out of the small size that I was going to buy so I ended up buying the big can. I saw there were a lot of beauty products on sale like acne face wash, lipstick, makeup, facial cream, face power and etc… It was pretty much a good deal especially today, a lot of people are buying gifts for their mom because it’s mother’s day. It’s too bad that we don’t have extra money I could have bought something for myself too.

 
 

What about pink laptop?

17 Apr

I’d like to purchase pink netbooks next time for a change. My husband was telling me that my laptop is already falling apart which definitely means that we need to get a new one. And besides some of the keyboard keys are missing already because my son pulled them out without our knowledge. We don’t know when and why our son did it but we just found that out a few months ago when my husband was using the laptop and he saw the letter “D” is gone. It’ll be cool to have a girlish stuff!

 
 

Keeping things secure & safe

12 Apr

My husband came home from work last night saying that his company just fired another one of their mechanics. My husband works for a transportation company here in chula vista.  I asked my husband what happened because since this recession hit the country, his company has either laid off or fired some people. He said that the mechanic was caught by the security cameras on the bus driving a bus around town stopping at a convenience store to buy food when he was supposed to be road testing the bus for any mechanical problems. The security cameras on the 2700 series buses are running 24 hours a day constantly and management randomly picks buses to download the camera activity from the hard drive to a secured computer. Unfortunately, management picked the bus that the mechanic was working on. Cameras are everywhere in my husbands work.

 
 

Used stuff for FREE

12 Apr

I wonder who left those patio cushions across the street. I would assume that one of our neighbors did that. Last time when we did our home makeover, we put our old couch, loveseat, pots and pans, mattresses and side table outside and placed a sign “take everything for free”. Believe it or not the following day they’re all gone. We heard that Mexicans usually go around the resident’s area to pick up “free stuff” and take it down to the boarder of Mexico. They said that they usually sell that stuff to their countrymen. Wow, amazing huh? How neat knowing that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

 
 

I wish her the best…

13 Mar

My aunt and I spoke the other day about my cousin’s life. She told me that my cousin is now working in the mayor’s office. She was hired as the mayor’s personal assistant. I was confused about how she got the job wherein fact she didn’t have a degree or something like that. I knew that my aunt was bugging my cousin to make an effort to find a job that will pay her good money. But how can she get a job that pays good money if she didn’t even graduate in college. Unfortunately, she got the job because she has the looks, beauty and the height. She’s Filipino-American anyways. Actually, the day that she was hired was unexpected. At that time, accordingly, she went to get a police clearance and the mayor happens to be in the same establishment and saw her. The mayor asked her if she has a job and if she is looking for one and she undoubtedly said that she was looking for job. To make the long story short, she was hired because the mayor like her and probably has plans for her. Hhhhmmm, we’ll see what’s going to happen. I hope he wont use my cousin for his personal gain.

 
 

We almost got into an accident

16 Feb

This was the day when we go to the US Discounter warehouse to pick up our mattress. My husband and the warehouse guy tied the mattress on the roof of our van. The guy said that it was tied well already and we’re good to go. So we drove home always checking on the mattress when suddenly it almost fell while we were on the freeway. When I saw the mattress moved I almost scream because I knew if it fell down, there will be a terrible accident with fatality. I cringed every time I think about it. Just imagine if it fell down it will crash into cars behind us and it will be like a domino effect (one car after another). Then our life will be over. Yikes!!! I can’t imagine what will happen to us and our kids.
