We have always been taught in school about ensuring safety.  In businesses especially, having the right safety precautions is a must in order to avoid human injury, damage to property or possible loss due to theft.  One of these useful safety precautions is through installing convex mirrors in blind spots.  As you may have noticed, these are normally those curved mirrors that you see in strategic places in stores.  They can be very useful in monitoring accidents and customers since especially when properly positioned.  I didn't know that before until my professor in Operations Management told us what those mirrors are for.

Here is probably one of the most overrated clichès of all time viewed in different perspectives.  I had a good laugh when I first got it from a friend who e-mailed it to me.

Planning for a vacation can be quite a tedious task.  Not only that, it can also be demanding of your time considering that you have to do flight inquiry and bookings, hotel reservations and itinerary of places to visit. How we wish, one company can do that for us.  Well, my aunt has long been planning for her Florida holidays.  She's been so excited to visit the place but doesn't want to experience the hassles.  So she decided to hire the services of this website http://www.florida4less.co.uk and all she had to do is sit back and relax since they basically do all the hard work for her dream holiday. My aunt promised to send me the pictures as soon as she gets back.  It seems like I can't wait to hear from her.

I was reading a past issue of the Reader's Digest and one of the feature stories was about how a woman from another neighboring country  made a difference in the lives of fellow women.  She was a victim of gang rape  just like the many girls who were deprived of justice.  Many of these women just fell silent but she fought for those who don't have the courage to fight for themselves and for their rights.  The women in her country were treated as second-class citizens and are not being sent to school since women their are expected to be jiust plain housewives anyway.

My initial reaction was that of gratitude.  I thank God that I was born in a country where women are equally recognized as that of men.  Though the Philippines is generally considered as having  a patriarchal society wherein the father is the authority figure in the family, the woman also has a substantial authority since she manages the finances and shares the egalitarian role of decision-making in the family.  The filipina woman also has the choice to work full time despite her responsibiltiies as a homemaker. 

I pity the plight of those women who are being treated with less respect in their own homeland.  It makes me feel so lucky to be a Filipina despite the many troubles that my country has been facing right now.

Coffee is a shared addiction with my sister Jenny, so we are always on a lookout for the latest coffee shops, you see. We smell and breathe coffee, so my other sister says.  But lately, we haven't really got much chance to go out since we are both busy with our respective work.  While surfing the net one night, I was so elated to find this treasure called SanMarcoCoffee.com.  Oh my God! that means I can order my favorite concoction online and here's the best part is that they offer over 270 coffee flavors, can you believe that? Hmmm, if only I can smell the aroma from the computer for they look so yummy even on picture alone. Gotta take a coffee break now!

It was a long tough day at work today.  It was my turn to sit in the billing counter and since it's a pay day, as expected, there was a huge turn-out of paying clients.  Talking to close to 300 people in 8 hours is not an easy feat you know in a one-man show. Not to mention a few annoying scenarios such as clients who tag their kids along and just let them mess up like they're in a playpen, shouting and banging the chairs. or worse playing with the priority numbers and leaving it jumbled up. Grrh...why can't they just tell their kids to behave?  Anyways, it really sucked all of the strength out of me and as the clock ticked 5pm, I can't help but heave a sigh of relief, at least momentarily.  My friends are actually inviting me out to have coffee with them tonight but I declined.  I'm such a bore when I'm tired.  That's it, I gotta have that much needed rest. Nytnyt.  

I just woke up this morning and proceeded to check for opportunities but was so sad to find that all opportunities were taken already. The network might have been so busy while I was sleeping.  So I just decided to check on my mails and Voila! I am so surprised one minute and thirty five seconds ago to read a mail from bravejournal telling me that I won the Journal of the Week Award.. yehey! What a lovely way to start the day!

Thanks to tes, I got this tag on Mothers Day.

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own. - Aristotle

It is indeed great to be a mother. Motherhood is such a great blessing. In a child's eye, the mother is the most beautiful woman in his life, for it is from her that he was loved and cherished unconditionally.

Happy Mothers Day

Mama Elsa...

It's summer vacation once again which means that kids get a long break from school.  In order to make good use of their time, my aunt enrolls  my cousins to summer classes.  This summer, my aunt thought of sending them to a Martial Arts School because she's thinking that it will be very useful for them especially nowadays where the streets pose danger to kids.  My cousins will not only be able to protect themselves but they will also learn the value of discipline.

While we were scouting for a good Martial Arts School, my friend who is  taking Korean Classes mentioned Jung SuWon Martial Arts Academy.  I asked her what Jung SuWon is all about, she said that it is a gentler form of the korean martial art of taekwondo.  It sounds perfect for my cousins who, by the way, are all girls.
