When I came back from a trip with hubby from the US, I brought some gifts made in the usa for my kids and some of my friends. I know they were all happy to receive those tokens I have brought them. I don’t know but there is this notion among us that things from the land of milk and honey are just precious and will have to be treasured.

We know that their products are made of quality materials and will really last for a long time. That is probably the reason why we still opt for USA made products because they are worth our money. Even if these products will costs us dollars, we still buy them for we know they will truly serve their purpose.

One of my students tagged me in a post on facebook with a song from youtube by Kari Jobe, called We Are. I watched listened to it and realized it has the message as the message I shared on Friday last week I had goosebumps all over. I was actually thinking I didn’t do well at all with the message but didn’t really make a fuss out of it. Glad she tagged me that video.

It’s an acoustic version of the song “We Are” from Kari Jobe’s new album entitled We Are. I love music but really don’t know much about musical instruments. But I know how to appreciate music. And so if you ask me if the band is using TC Helicon, I wouldn’t know. But one thing I do know. This acoustic version is beautiful.

Thanks Michelle for sharing the song with me.

That is the question I have been asking myself for the last few years. I have never really gone back to my pre-pregnancy figure, thanks to the internet. Most of my free times are sort of “dedicated’ to sitting at the table, doing online work.

Of course with a lot of things available now to lose weight or to even just have that lean muscle you want, you can already achieve it. It’s just a matter of finding the right product for you. Some would be okay with progene. But for others, it takes more than products to achiever that lean muscles, like exercising and going on a strict diet.

My wish is that I can instantly have that kind of figure I want without doing those. But we all know it’s a tall order.

Giving rewards to kids for a job well done is an encouragement.

I have just finished with meeting my students’ parents and told them about their kids’ progress in school. Also, I have been planning on giving some kind of reward for the top students. When I say top students, those who got the most number of books finished, perfect attendance, and most punctual. One of them who’s getting a reward would be a girl and I am still thinking of what to give.

She is into arts and crafts, probably, she would appreciate Hessonite Garnet Beads for beading activities. She also likes to journal… so maybe, a notebook will do?

Really, I still have to think of more ideas on what to give as a reward.

Any thoughts?

It hasn’t taken off yet, my photography pursuit. I am just too busy doing some other stuff. Yes, I still practice shooting and practice photo editing, but I don’t have enough time to really spend on photography. I am so much into portraitures and probably lifestyle. I hope to one day do like that of wedding photography raleigh nc. I think wedding photography will be exciting. I know the hardships and the challenges though. I know, too, that one day, I will be able to do that. But not too soon. For now, it’s just a practice.

Mother’s Day is fast approaching so I would not be surprised to see malls and shops to be selling gift items for moms in the next few days. Although it would be great to receive a gift from the family, I was also thinking of giving something for the kids. Both Schenker and Samantha love to play computer games, so I am sure they would be thrilled to get one of those new psp games.

That’s just a thought, though. I have to look into my budget first. If I could not give it this soon, there’s always Christmas, or it could wait ‘til their next birthdays!

Schenker goes for his piano lessons once a week. He started last year. This is his second year already. His pace is quite slow as he doesn’t practise at home a lot. But he likes his piano lessons. He’s also asking if he could go for drums lessons and guitar lessons. He’ll probably need Snark Tuners if ever he goes for guitars. I really don’t mind him learning everything at the same time. It’s just that he won’t have enough time to dome other stuffs, especially the more important ones like studying and learning football.

What comes to your mind when you hear the word “summer”?

I always associate it with beaches, a long break from work and late mornings—not to mention that I could spend quality time with the family. It could also mean having to shop for summer clothes, which I really love. Seeing those summer sale signs hung in malls really gets me excited!

I wonder how we would spend this summer? Since I started working, I have been constantly dreaming of traveling somewhere again so let’s just see. Aside from getting summer clothes, I think prescription sunglasses from GreatEyeglasses.com is worth-checking out as I also want to get myself a pair of sunglasses for a perfect summer look!
