I grew up with the family and relatives, who love, adore and make a living with the soil, farming is the name. I studied agriculture and have experienced working with the farmers shared my technical and acquire knowledge regarding agricultural production. That was ages ago, and I miss it badly. Then, working in the academe for years, instead of tilling lands, I was toiling the vast of economics to knowledge hungry students. I left that dearest career for better dreams and cross the pacific seas to the continent of snow rich land.
Now, I am stuck to this cold city, live in a place where spaces are price according to square footage. The bigger the better but bitter to our pockets, we have a 2 X 4 meters patio and gardening is a pain in the heart if that’s your precious space to breathe. We only have at least 6 to 8 months to enjoy the planting fever, after that froze will beat you. Since, we have limited space and no ground soil to have a small vegetable or greenery to indulge. What I did is re-using all empty cans even ice cream cans as pots. Yes! These are for recycle bin but I have to make use of it than buying a classy or pretty pots.
Motorbikes are now making their zoom zoom in the highways after few months in hiding in the garage. It’s the right season to head the road and enjoy the ride. In summer, if your heading to the U.S.A and spend sometime to the motorcycle capital, California. Remember! Before hopping to your precious rides do not forget to check your insurance, and if ever accident happens before it’ll get worse consult to the San Jose motorcycle accident attorney. Know your right and keep safe.
Free- Range Kids Are The Talk Of The Town

I was not surprised reading the free-range kid columns circling in the Internet and newspapers these days. In fact, I am glad that at last some parents in these rich neighborhoods are doing something not unusual to the developing countries. I am one of the free-range kids, my sister, hundred of my cousins, neighbors and friends. Until now even the world is getting crazy of drugs, kidnapping and together walk with some bad free-range kids. I could still see thousands of kids let alone mind their business particularly when going to school or do some errands miles from their homes.
I have met many mothers in this country and shared them the story of free-range kids. In my humble country, kidnapping a free walking kid is just a pain in the ass because you have to feed them and listen to their ever torturing questions why taking them away from their family. There will be no ransom happening because the kid family is poor, so why bother? Kidnapping for ransom is famous amongst the rich families. Pirates do the same, right!I spare the question if you will ask. Am I willing to let my son roam around as far as 5 meters out from my sight? My answer is BIG no way. Not in this country, I don’t know why? I’m scared to loose and lose my son here than in my country. My friends’ children and my families’ kids are still roaming around the vicinity in my country even farther, and there is nothing happen. Here???!!!
How safe are you and you’re family at home? I’m not scaring you! In fact, I am scared for my family. My family live in an apartment located at the ground floor of the high rise building, with patio and fence made of block of metal. In short, if ever someone will burglarize any of the ground floor rooms, then I should be worried. Well, I did not hear any incidents yet but I am aware that many homes are protected with home alarm equipment. Though, we have security cameras in the premises but we don’t have security within any of the ground floor rooms. I bet we have to install it by ourselves to keep protected and be safe.
I am hoping to spend time with my son in the zoo today unfortunately the weather is not celebrating for mother earth. It’s windy and chilly outside, we could go somewhere lively though BUT I am afraid of the swine flu virus. My feet are itching to go somewhere, grrrrr, why virus? Why ruining our day? Staying at home is advisable during these days, but if your staying at home for the last 18 months. I bet! You will be disappointed.
Aren’t you bored stepping on your carpeted floors? For ages, I been dreaming to stay in a place where floors are carpeted, now I got my dreamt and I have enough of it. I live in a Condo comes with a carpeted floors, the place is nice but the carpet looks old or used for sometime now. How I wish I could rip up this carpet and change it with the area rugs. That is why, I hope to have my own house with hardwood floors and use area rug instead of carpet.
It’s Mother’s Day once again, please count me in! But I’d rather celebrate the day with my Mother than for myself. Too bad, we are thousand miles apart. We usually sent our greetings through text messaging and card, this time I hope it will be more high tech using 3G cellular phone. My hubby also is bugging me when will be the Mother’s day because he owes me my Valentine’s Day. See, this is what will happen if you marry a super romantic man. I’m no Juliet to Romeo and I hate these sweet smooching dates. Errrr! Yes! I am a witch.
In the place where technology exist in limited numbers, body weight conscious individuals will likely depend they’re information from the word of mouth. This is typical in developing rural areas in which I have made used as well when I was working in the rural communities for ages. On the other hand, to the developed nations and rural areas information are usually coming from the radio, newspapers and magazines and of course reviews publish in the Internet. For me, Internet is the most accessible and if ever I will look for something like the weight loss supplement that means weight loss supplement review is a must to read.
We have had difficulties in life, lately we are battered with financial meltdown, politics, bail-out and the famous swine-flu. I am one of the affected casualties of these cruel economies, I thought that nothing will change to our economic environment or world ambience per se, I was wrong because things like new or old will come and go. Lately, the sea pirating and swine flu are swarming like crazy. Universe is really moving and alive.
Have you read my previous post? Well, I was talking about gaining weight even though we have limited money to indulge for foods. What an irony! Going to the gym is expensive, jogging and exercise at home is two things that conflict to our priority household chores. No wonder there are many who are trying the magic of weight loss pills. My weight is not at the worrying scale yet, still belong to the petite group, my relatives especially my Aunts are taking diet pills to reduce weight. I hope that they will succeed.
When we have limited budget that is usually use most for our rent, utilities and the remaining dime is for the food. Many are thinking twice whether to spend money for food or rent first, most likely we opt to pay the rent first then food. Our last cents usually buys only the cheapest non-nutritious foods. Can goods that taste good and are rich in sodium, saturated fat and sugar. So what is eating bad food than being hungry? I’m afraid that both will go hand-in-hand.
I need a small business and sales training for me to understand how market behaves when businesses and consumers react in the market. I have an economics degree but it's totally different than in business arena. Yes, they have common purpose and language but have different impact technically. I soon want to start my boutique business in one of the flea markets in Toronto. All I have to do is wait and timing. Well, the economy is really bad this time.
Why marriage life is always branded with ultimate happiness? I have spoken to one of my best friends last night who is currently in Ireland doing a compassionate missionary work. I asked her if she’s sold out of the idea of being in the single blessedness station. She cried out loud, I am looking for companion and happiness, and she thought that these could be found in marriage. But man and marriage are big dreams that have been elusive to her.
Then, today I read from the lifestyle section of the newspaper, a woman is discerning to marry because she thought that happiness is in marriage. I hope that these bored individuals are not on the state of desperation. I am happily married to a romantic, caring, loving and a great provider man with our son. Yes, I am happy, very happy with my life today. But happiness in marriage is not as easy as laughter, security and fulfilled.
