Yes, that’s right. We are now living 530 kilometers north of Manila. Our family has moved to Brgy Ablan, Ilocos Norte last June 5. Our town is forty five minutes away to Pagudpod and 15 minutes away to the famous Bangui Windmills. Our home is just a stone’s throw away to Bojeador lighthouse.

One need persistence when looking for a job. Though jobs may be scarce, there are still workers who are resigning, retiring, dying or being transferred. You need to call and visit factories, offices and employment centers. Read newspaper ads and check for job opportunities with relatives, friends and neighbors. Many have tried doing handyman jobs, farmwork, woodcutting, tree trimming and lawn care. In North Carolina, job hunters try to engage in real estate, insurance and property management in fayetteville nc. Carpet installation, photography, newspaper routes, and delivery services are other jobs that you can look for. Prepare and leave a work résumé with them and at places where you apply for a job. Be willing to move if you have to. But do not be kept so busy that you have no time to enjoy yourself once in a while. Constantly looking for a job builds harmful tension and stress, while short recreational breaks bring relief.

The sound of the guitar is heard around the globe, played by amateur and professional alike. Daddy learned to play the guitar when he was in college. The guitar is so popular because its sound, whether in the flamenco, classical, or modern style, evokes differing moods. Yet another factor is that it is so easy to carry. Whatever may be the reasons for its popularity, the way a guitar is constructed makes a big difference in the sound. The best guitars are usually created with great love and care. Many guitar enthusiasts are satisfied learning the guitar at Zvex Effects guitar center. Daddy needs to start teaching Biboy on how to play his guitar before he gets to old learning it,

There’s an X men marathon at Starworld this whole month which prompted us to watch all movie series released. We’ve had these as HD movies in our PC but did no bother to watch until recently. Needless to say that we were hooked.

The biggest question we have is what happened between Magneto and Prof X. How did Charles Xavier end up in the wheel chair? X-Men 1st Class answered the question. He was shot on his spine by his friend Erik. Had it been on the knee, it could have been fixed by genutrain.

Love love love X-Men!

July is tagged as Nutrition Month and there are several activities at school to promote good eating habits. Our son’s school held a poem recital contest which was held last Wednesday. He participated and fortunate enough to bring home an award. Morning, the ever supportive dad was there to cheer him on.

It was indeed a proud parent moment. He said that there will be reading contest next month and he is hoping to bring home trophies. Hahaha! Competitive child!

We went to Kangri-an falls with our family friend 2 years ago. This falls is situated in our current town, Burgos. It looks breath taking especially during rainy months when water is very abundant.
It’s around 45 minutes drive from the town proper and around 30 minutes hike. Our town takes pride in its numerous falls. There is another one situated in Tanap, the Avis Falls.
We’re planning to schedule a visit there soon. So we’re thinking if it is worthwhile to get hiking gears like zamberlan hiking boots. What do you think?

B.boy likes musical instruments as much as he loves to sing. His grandpa knows this so when he got back from Cebu, he gave him this guitar as a gift. It looks very classic and sturdy so I know it will last many, many years.
Morning can play the guitar rather well too. We used to sing Kingdom songs while he strums his old trusty instrument. So I can understand why he is all so excited to show me an evh wolfgang stealth special that he chanced upon while surfing the net.
Makes me wonder if he’s trying to tell me to buy him one. Hmmmm.

Here is our little boy enjoying his first horse-back ride. It was a little dark then but we still decided to push through with Wright Park. It did not disappoint as our son enjoyed his 30 min ride.

He discovered his love for horses, saying that it was the most beautiful among all animals. Daddy is now thinking if he will be asking us to buy equestrian riding apparel soon.   :p

It’s been 2 months now that I got out of the Corporate World to help in our family business. We are still learning but the progress has been good so far. We have gained familiarity with the products that we are selling and some of our customer base too. Construction materials like cement, steel, wood and roofing materials are fast moving items. There are small articles like Nails, and Wires which are very sellable too. There is barely a day when we don’t sell these. And so, the very old and trusty weighing scale begs to be replaced. My husband jokingly quips that we should get mettler balances so that it would last us a lifetime.  
There is still a lot of learning to do to be able to run this branch properly. Next to tackle are our receivables and come up with a strategy to gain new business.

We absolutely adore our new neighbour. They are very warm and friendly and have made us felt welcome since we moved in. Last week, they have invited DH to drop by their place. They had a long chat at their patio. The couple as just a few years younger than us and they have a very cute little baby girl. She has soft waves and button eyes. She is such a darling and gives a generous smile and giggle to strangers.

They also keep a very nice garden of orchids and other ornamental plants. A huge portion of their backyard is also planted with dragon fruit. I’m planning to buy some cake next time and bring it over to their place. Their patio is very inviting for long chit chats. I love it that it give a very good view of their garden and their patio cushions are so soft to drop yourself into.
