Call from the future!!!

Did you experienced a call from the future? It's really strange to received misscalls from the future. Not only once but twice! The first misscall was dated May 2, 2009 and its call time is 7:45 PM. The second misscall I received was dated May 2, 2009 and time was 6:30 PM. The number that calls me was my husband's office phone. Actually the date was my Mama's birthday. Do you have any idea what the calls means. I'm just curious to know. Hoping somebody can tell me the meaning of this call from the future.

We likes Phở

Four days after givng birth last January 24,2008, me and my husband went to a Phở Restaurant and he ordered Phở with fishballs. The first time I taste it I never like it because I'm not in the mood to eat while our baby was still in NICU.

Three months after I tried again the Vietnamese noodle soup, wow it drives me crazy. It's so yummy and until now we always order everyweek. Even our son really likes the taste of the soup.

What's the good news? It's helping me increase my milk production. We really wonder what is in that soup that made me feel full and our son sleep for 5 hours after drinking my milk. I wish we have more money to buy it everyday. I guess maybe because its soup that's why more production. I remember in our country we use malunggay leaves in a soup to help in milk production. Maybe that Vietnamese soup have like malunggay in there soup.

I million bill

Yesterday I ask my partner at work if he already saw a one thousand dollar bill. Well both of us didn't see yet. Today when I came to work He told me that the other sorter/classifier found a 1 million dollar bill. They really convinced me to believe their joke. I know for sure there is no such real 1 million bill. So I took it as a joke. But when I got home, i really have doubt if its true or not because my partner told me "mamatay pa ako". So it made me research maybe there is a bill but not really for transaction but just for fun.

Well after my research I found it! It's amazing they made real product like that. I hope I have one. You also want one?

Stampede

After work I usually check my emails, blogging, reading news and researching. I'm actually reading about milk fish production and then I saw the STAMPEDE news October 04,2008. I't only October 03 here at 6:00pm when I read it. I right away ask my freind if its true. She told me there is no stampede. She said the news I read was 2006, how come they dated the news Oct. 04, 2008? It did made me felt bad so much. Atleast the news was just remembering what happened last October 4, 2006 maybe because its the same day " Saturday" that's why I thought it's real.I really felt so bad with the lost lives. 88 people died. They are just trying to find their luck in winning the big prizes but sad to say they lost their lives.

Last night we are just talking about stampede in India while people are praying and somebody shouted there's bomb but it's not true and 236 people died of stampede. This is also sad peolpe die just because of false thoughts.

Reading about Philippine stampede this Saturday, people do blame the host ( Willie) of the show. Why? It's not his fault. It's no ones fault. It's accident! Well looking troughly on the case. People may say ABS-CBN must have their new system of holding such big shows. This is not the first time! Wake up management of ABS-CBN you cannot just pay again the family of the victims. Please do make your new system for the show. On the other hand they will blame it to people who went there without thinking that this will happen in a big crowd. Imagine about 30,000 people were lured to join the game show's anniversary celebration becuase of the big prizes, like cars and money at stake. Some had even lined up for two days to get tickets.

Ok, this is past. I'm really sorry to all the families who lost their love ones. We will pray for you. Hopefully there will be no next stampede on their next anniversary.

Nectarine

Nectarines are essentially the same fruit as Peaches, the primary difference is that nectarines are smooth-skinned and peaches are fuzzy. The smooth-skin characteristic that distinguishes nectarines is a minor genetic variation, like red hair among people; it is even possible that a peach tree may suddenly produce a branch that bears nectarines, and vice versa. Most recommended varieties have red-and-yellow skins with yellow or white flesh.

Scientific classification: The nectarine belongs to the family Rosaceae. It is classified as Prunus persica variety nucipersica.

How to Store:To speed up the ripening process, place nectarines in a paper bag and store loosely at room temperature. Once ripe, nectarines will keep in the refrigerator for a week. Nutritional Facts:· Low fat· Saturated fat-free· Sodium-free· Cholesterol-free· A good source of vitamin C

Detailed nutritional informatin can be found by searching the USDA Nutritional Database .

I researched this because it is my first time to eat this fruit. One of my co-worker shared to us and I'm glad to eat new fruit that I never knew.

China's tainted milk product

Tuesday, ‎September ‎23, ‎2008, ‏‎6:54:11 PM I got a message from my concerned friend reminding me about the China's tainted milk products. This is her offline message:

angelzhannin: Hi friends, the ff items have been recalled due 2 china's milk situation. m&m's,snickers,mentos,yoghurt bottle,dove choc,oreo,wafer sticks,monmilk,dutchlady sterilize milk,wall's all natural mango,mini poppers ice cream,magnum ice cream,moo sandwich ice cream,mini cornetto,can ice cream. weve been asked by AVA 2 remove them from our stores. if you have any of these items in ur house dont eat them.this is real. please pass.....from a concerned friend......

OREO? I love oreo! after reading the message I felt bad because I've got a lot of stock of oreo! I asked my husband right away if we are affected with the China's tainted milk products. He told me of course not! US produce our dairy products. Ah ok (hehehe). At least I don't need to throw my oreo.

2:15 AM of September 29, watching news they say all Asian countries that has China dairy products was already out of the shelves. That was great for prevention purposes. But before they band the products, tainted baby formula has sickened nearly 53,000 Chinese infants. I really felt bad. I'm thankful our country band all dairy products from China :The Philippines joined that list Tuesday when Bureau of Food and Drugs chief Leticia Barbara Gutierrez banned all milk imports from China as a precaution. She said her office has no record of baby formula imports from China.

To all before we buy food the most important thing to do is check the labels at the back and be sure to check the expiration date.

Debate

Election is fast approching. I'm actually sick and tired of listening to all the news. I know we need to know what is happening around us. Well I guess I should because somehow we are affected with the situations since we are living here.


About the most awaiting debate between Obama-McCain already finished. And then what's next? Of course issues about it. It's all political. But atleast people heard each other's side. Next they scheduled another debate between Palin and Biden. Personally I like Biden than Palin but I can't vote here. I'm just wishing the honest one will win.

What I like most is what I observed after the debate. 1st- Obama congratulated McCain. 2nd - Obama approached his wife. On the side the wife approached McCain. 3rd - Obama and Michelle approached McCain and his wife and shaked hands before they left. With my simple observation I can tell that Obama is really down to earth and McCain feels he's on top.

Look at simple act of each person and you really can tell who will be the best future President. To all who can vote... Vote wise!!!

Butterfly

This is so beautiful. A creation that makes someones heart happy when looking at it. In our highschool time we studied about pollination and butterflies also got that job. So amazing because I guess they don't intent to do it but they are helping in beautification without thinking.

Idea I got from other site....

To make a seed, the pollen has to find its way to a pistiland travel down to reach the egg. The is called "pollination."

Just like making new people, plants need a male (man) and female (woman) to make new seed which will grow into a new plant. The difference with plants is that plants have both the male and the female parts in a single flower. The male part of the flower makes 'pollen." Pollen looks like a powder or dust. The female part of the flower (called the pistil) makes the egg. Pollination is the way "pollen" from the male part of a flower gets to the egg in the female part of a flower to form a seed. Pollination is carried out by wind, rain or little creatures called "pollinators."

Strength...

This is really true! There are times when I really feel week because of people who betrayed me and I can't understand why they do it to me. I ask strength from God and He always helps me. Whenever you have problems and you need somebody to cling on? Pray with all your heart and God will give you what's for you. If you think God didn't answer your prayer, maybe because that problem you are facing God knows you can do it. God is so good. Don't forget His always ready for us.

Anemonefish

Amphiprion ocellaris

Clown Anemonefish
Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Actinopterygii

Order: Perciformes

Family: Pomacentridae

Genus: Amphiprion

species: Amphiprion ocellaris

Adults are an orange-brown color with two white bars with black edging encircling the body. The first bar is located on the head behind the eyes and may be thin and broken. The second bar is on the body below the dorsal fin. The caudal peduncle and caudal fin are white. Juveniles are normally brown with three white stripes. In sub-adults the colouring changes to a dull yellow with two white stripes. They have 10 to 11 dorsal spines and 2 anal spines. They reach a maximum length of 9 cm (3½ in) and weigh on average 27.50 g (0.97 oz).

Life History

There is a strong hierarchy within a group of anemonefish inhabiting one anemone. Usually, a large female dominates. She mates only with the largest males. The female lays eggs in or near the anemone. If a suitable surface is not available, the female may even drag one near the anemone. This behavior allows anemonefish to be among the few reef fishes that have been successfully bred in captivity.

Some reef fish species are able to turn from females into males. This is actually a common ability. But anemonefish have the ability to sex-change from male to female (called Protandrous Hermaphroditism). All anemonefish are born male with active male and dormant female reproductive organs. If the female dies, then the dominant male will sex-change into a female, and a non-dominant male will change into a dominant male. This allows anemonefish inhabiting one anemone to remain self-sufficient in that if the female dies there is no need for the male to find a new mate. The responsibility for caring of the eggs becomes the "new" female's job!

Anemonefish care for their spawn by fanning the eggs with their fins, removing litter or dead eggs using their mouths with great precision, and keeping other fish away.

This fish always reminds me of my favorite movie " Finding Nemo". Our son loves to look at that picture in our calendar. It was nice to research and know more about things we don't have ideas. Internet is really great! Provide answers that will satisfy us.

Have Faith!!!

Everybody has their own faith. Different faith that we hold on to it. Like me I have faith that God is true. And He is the one who knows whats best for me that's why every decision I made I always ask for His guidance and patiently wait for His answers. With God in my life, I'm always a happy person. Hope everybody is happy with their own faith. Enjoy life!

Happy with Work!!!

Work eats most of our time. We don't have a choice because working is money. And money is always important in our life. Not really number one but it's so important for us to live. We are still lucky air is free.

I'm so happy with my work. Eventhough i don't use my profession but still I'm happy. What's makes me happy and enjoy in my work are my co- Filipino workers. I'm really blessed to have them as my co-worker because I'm sure they are not plastic type of person. They usually share what's their food. They are not greedy.

At first I'm hoping to get along with them. On my first day they do show goodness and until now I'm already one month on my work they are still the same. God is so good to me! He put me on a job that I'll always enjoy and just right for me.

What is LOVE?

Everyone has their own meaning of love. When I'm still young my answer always 1 Corinthians 13 because it's complete! And it guides you to know if the guy or girl really loves you or not. Well a lot of my friends agree with the verse from the Bible but some gave me answer own his own understanding. He told me that Love is a commitment. Yup thats true. When you love someone you also commited to him/her. Your pledge on your love.

Cashier

Look at this picture. Is this a simple job or not? I really want to experience this work but unfortunately in the place where I grew up, Cashier is only for beautiful girls or good looking guy. Well beautiful for us is with light skin. I'm dark so I'm not one of those pleasing personality as they discribed. I'm so hurt! But atleast here, eventhough I'm not beautiful I can work as Cashier! The only difference I notice was Cashier don't sit! All day standing! No helper or we say bagger. In our city they are sitting and somebody put all those paid items in plastic or bag.

For me this is easy job if you are already familiar with all the steps in register. At first for me it was so difficult specially if register don't work and tell me error..ohh I really need more patience! But atleast now I'm learning. And since I'm new here I make sure I'm correct in terms of counting money and always careful in giving change. This job is always fun! Exciting when dealing with different characteristic of customers. I just give them my nice smile and greet them.

Birthday Greetings

Today's my sisters' birthday. Since I'm far and can't give something for now I just decided to make this for her. Hoping she will be happy with my somple gift. I love her so much. Among us she is the angel type. I miss you Bojoy.

Fannie and Freddie Issue

Our topic for the day was all about Fannie and Freddie Issue. Discussing about the idea that federal will takeover. We know this will be a big problem. They make it sound nice that Homebuyers May Get Lower Loan Rate After Fannie, Freddie Rescue. But its not a good news for us. Look they just inform us this September and they claiming they already pass the bill in May. They form a government agency to deal with the work but they never ask everybody if tax payers agree with the idea. Well anyway we are just followers of the plans of government. NO voice from citizens or workers here. I taught everything must be voted.


It's already final that federal will takeover so it means more taxes to all who work here in states. Money is not free its from us. So its not really not nice because another deductions. Well somehow people help other people to own houses with low rate. Hopefully with the contributions of all workers will really be used in a right plans not on other personal plans.I hope this country will improve economic situations.

Dreamcatcher

I never heard of a dreamcatcher before. I saw that thing hanging on our room and of course I want to know what are those things. My hubby explain to me the purpose of dreamcatcher and it is working according to them. Their mom always give them what they need and since they always have nightmare that is why mom gave those to them. Actually she gave us one for both of us since we are on the same birth month.

This is what the information on that piece of paper in the picture:

The Ojibway Indians believed the night air was filled with floating Dreams-both good and bad. To encourage good dreams, Ojibway Grandmothers fashioned dreamcatchers to hang above the cradleboards of sleeping infants, and to give to newly married couples to hang in their lodge.

The dreamcatcher hangs freely in the breeze. The webbing captures the night's dreams. Bad dreams become entangled and perish at the first light of day. Good dreams, knowing the way, float through the webbing down the feather and onto the dreamer. Happy Dreams!

Personality Test

Do you believe in Personality Test? My Mother in law passed a Tibetan Personality Test on my email and of course I tried it for fun. While on the process of doing it at first like it's just nothing because you will only answer 4 questions and just pick which will be the first or who do you know who know you more.

After answering hmmm... actually it did got my attention and made me think if its true ... some its somehow applicable like my priorities in life. If someone passes you this test just try and enjoy.. you might able to know more about yourself.

Our Hands

Looks so cute for me. Our hands together. Man don't do this things but my hubby just go with the flow as I told him to help me. This is just one of my collection to show our son when he grow up. I know boys don't care about what mommies have but wife to be will be happy to see what's are the abouts of her love.

I'm really blessed to know all the abouts of my hubby when his still a baby. Every thing was recorded by his mom. So great to hear stories about my husband and I can compare our son if he's having same attitude like his daddy. Enjoying the moment while our son still baby because I know his hand will be bigger than me someday.

Soothing Sound

The place where we stay trying to improve the surrounding. To beautify to attract customers. It's just sometimes I don't like the noise they make. Especially now they asked us to park anywhere because they will improve the parking space.

Anyway, this fountain they put there was so nice to look at and it did attract me and my son. We love to sit near that fountain to listen the sound of the water. It makes me feel relax and my son is so quite everytime we're there. It serves its purpose! And look the design, thats fantastic looks like narra leave actually. I wish we'll have like that when we have our own place.
