Varsity team’s decision

The high school varsity team had a discussion on where to display the basketball trophies they amassed over the years. One captain suggested in the past that the MVP of that year when a particular trophy was awarded should have the right to bring home that trophy. Of course, the rest of his teammates didn’t approve of his suggestion. He was the MVP of that year and they told him that the championship was a group effort.

A consensus was reached and the trophies will be taken to the principal’s office for now until a new glass display case (that was broken and vandalized so many times in the past) will be in place once again.

Uh-oh!

I read a story about a high school football coach getting kicked out of his job because he accidentally posted his nude photo in his Facebook wall! It was just a mistake as he was supposed to post it privately for his girlfriend alone but instead he posted it for everyone to see. A parent of one of his school’s students saw the photo and immediately reported him to school officials.

Then he got the boot!

Lesson learned: Do NOT post your naked photos via Facebook! Better yet, do not take photos of yourself naked!

LOL

Home Alone for too long?!?

Oh my goodness! I saw Macaulay Culkin‘s name trending for a few hours in Twitter this afternoon. When I checked, it was because of this photo of him…

Whatever happened to the man??? The jokes that went around Twitter was that he was left Home Alone (alluding to his famous movie franchise) too long!

Fame and fortune didn’t do him any good at all. Not to mention the fact he had a bad set of parents who were more interested in the money he made from the Home Alone movies than in his well-being.

Offering payment choices

The woman who owns the online shop which is fast becoming very popular among women of all ages is now offering payment choices for all her shoppers. She now has ach payment option unlike before when she only accepts bank deposits. It was a hassle for her shoppers and they told her about it. She has regular shoppers who told her that if she didn’t offer payment alternative she would lose potential regular shoppers as not everyone has the time to go out and deposit payments to her bank account. Not everyone has online banking.

So the woman did her best to offer other payment schemes. Her shop now accepts cash, card payments, Paypal as well as check payments.

Word will surely go around and she better prepare her server for the onslaught of shopping done on her site!

Trip to Orlando

My good friend told me that she and her man are planning a trip to Orlando by March of this year. Hooray for them! I actually felt jealous because I’ve always wanted to go to Orlando and visit the theme parks there. She told me they are already checking out Disney World hotels and will most likely stay for only a weekend. Both of them are working and can’t really take a vacation leave.

Still… A weekend in Orlando will surely be a lot of fun! I know because I’ve researched about the place and a trip to Orlando only means a trip to never ending fun and laughter.

Grow old with you

This song by Adam Sandler never fails to elicit a response from me. It is so romantic and I can picture not only myself but several people close to me growing old with their special someone in life. A cabin somewhere complete with rustic furniture inside and a fireplace to keep them warm with a plush hearth rug in front of it… a bottle of wine and maybe strawberries dipped in chocolate… the radio playing a mellow music in the background… lights are off except for the fireplace and it’s either raining or snowing outside… and a couple sitting side by side, holding hands and kissing. What a sweet picture inside my head!

I want to grow old with someone special but if there’s no one out there for me, then so be it. I just hope all my love ones will have someone to hold them and grow old with them and be with them in that scenario in my mind.

Helper’s dad

My dad has a helper for the stuff he has to do at home daily. His name is Vince. My dad pays him to help him out with cleaning the house and running errands for us. Vince has six younger siblings. He helps his parents earn a living to make ends meet. His dad is currently holding a kitchen crew job in a local restaurant but is still looking for Fast Food Cook Jobs. It will be a second job for him apart from the weekend job that he holds with a catering company.

It’s so easy to find a job these days if only the person applying will not be choosy of the type of work he will get. And if a family of young kids is waiting for food to be set on the table, then finding a job is a must!

Break time

I had a break time from work last week and I spent the three days with love ones. We went to this out of town bazaar and there was a mini festival of some sort. There were so many things to see and we feasted not only our eyes but also out tummies with sumptuous food as well as items that we couldn’t resist buying like the Joe Rocket Jackets for the guys and several cute tees for the girls.

I just love spending time with my love ones. They are so much fun to be with! I know some people think it’s plain boring to be spending a vacation with the family but for me it’s the best way to spend what little break time I have!

Something for granny

My gran has been feeling under the weather for a few days now. I know that she needs some cheering up so what I will do is order one of those granny gourmet gifts I saw, Red Velvet Cupcakes, and will go visit her this weekend. I will spend time with the woman who was there for me when my mom was busy with my siblings.

Whenever I think of my gran, I know that there will be at least a few more years I can spend with her. She is not getting any younger and I know that an assortment of ailments has cropped up over the last couple of years that make her go weak from time to time. I just pray that I can spend more quality time with her and show her how much I love her in my own way.

Never forget

One of the things I learned over the years is to never forget… Never forget the good things that happened to you. Never forget the people who helped propel you to the level you are in now. Never forget the good things and throw away all the bad ones.

As a way to never forget, I am thinking of giving stainless steel partner rings to two persons who are always there for me. Through thick or thin they stood by me and never left my side. The two persons who saw me suffer through the worse periods of my life and who helped me pick myself up and move on.

As tall as the buildings around…

My dreams are as tall as the metal buildings around. Actually, one of those dreams is to own a building. A commercial and residential one. I had my eyes on an abandoned building in front of the church a few blocks away. Unfortunately, before my millions arrived, it was already snapped up by a local real estate company and it is now being built into the building of my dreams.

But I know that soon all my dreams will come true. I just need to work harder for it.

I just wish my millions will arrive NOW!

Enticing unique approach

Schools are everywhere! Almost every one of the schools around offer the same stuff to students. So how do you choose which one to go to? Location for one. The nearer to your place of residence, the better. Tuition and school fees for another. The less costly the school is, the better for your parents’ pockets.

And then there’s an enticing unique approach to teaching!

Regency Institute, a cosmetology school, offers a unique approach to teaching beauty to their students. An on-campus work experience while learning the basics from the expert faculty. Enticing, don’t you think? So which beauty school will you choose?

I say go for Regency!

Serious problems

It’s scary to think that some stuff we associate to cute and hope for survival can actually cause us serious problems instead. I am talking about some medications with dangerous side effects! Admit it, there are so many of that kind out there.

If you are a victim, don’t hesitate to seek legal help. I was just reading something about the Crestor lawsuit. Crestor is used to treat high cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular disease but can you believe that a scientific study links it to serious side effects? Scary, don’t you think?

Let’s be aware of this. If you are a victim or know one yourself, seek legal help as soon as possible!

Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close

Be sure to bring a box of tissues when you watch this film about a 10-year-old boy who journeys across New York after losing his father (played by Tom Hanks) on September 11, 2011. He is determined to find the box that goes with the key his dad left him, and his perseverance and love will tug at your heartstrings. Bring your guy or your BFF when you watch this so you’ll have a shoulder to cry on (and someone to hug you) when the waterworks start. – cosmo.ph

I just saw this movie as one of the top movies to watch this January 2012. I must say I was immediately drawn to it upon seeing Sandra Bullock‘s name on the top. Not so much with Tom Hanks as I don’t like some of his movies. So I read the blurb and, well, this is a movie that is indeed one to be excited about!

It will be shown in Manila on January 20.

Can’t wait!

Let’s celebrate!!!

2012 is upon us. Let’s celebrate everyone!!!

I hope all of you are partying right now and with your love ones

Happy New Year!!! Let’s welcome 2012 with open arms!

Stay safe everyone!

Family crisis

It is truly scary to have an emergency at home. For example, a sick love one who needs to be rushed to the hospital. Our family has been there in the past and I must credit a cash advance I got from the company I was working for as the way we were able to rush my mom to the hospital that second or third time we had to. Money rules when it comes to hospitals and without it, a sick love one will turn for the worse without medical help for sure.

If you have a family crisis now make sure you use cash advance as an option. It is fast and easy. A cash advance is really meant for emergencies. There is usually no credit or background check normally done on personal loans. That’s why it takes as little as 24 hours for a cash advance to be processed and released. I like the sense of urgency because an emergency should be addressed right away. Not tomorrow. Not the next day. It should be addressed today!

We don’t want to wish for an emergency to happen for you to try this cash advance service. But if you encounter one, keep in mind there is a way to get cash in a flash!

The Imp says…

“Everyone knows a Lannister always pays his debts.”
- Tyrion Lannister, Game of Thrones

I can’t wait for the series to start its second season. I want to see what happened to the characters. I want to know the impact of the death of a major character. I want to have more of Jon Snow and Tyrion Lannister a.k.a. The Imp!

Can’t wait!

Frantic call

A friend of mine made a frantic call the other night. She told me that she had a really bad dream about dying the next day. I thought she wanted me to calm her down, pray for her, or do something to possibly stop her ‘impending’ death from happening. I laughed when I heard the reason she called me up in the middle of the night… she wants me to get life insurance quotes online!

Apparently, the woman doesn’t have a life insurance plan in place! She kept on telling herself to get one but it took a bad dream for her to finally realize that she needs it. So I am now helping her out get quotes online so that when she gets back from her out-of-town trip we will discuss her options and she will then choose a provider for her.

Water needed

Water is a basic need for all of us living beings. I don’t think we can live without it. So when a condominium building was built a block away, the admin made sure to get goulds pumps at WeGotPumps.com for their tenants. It is one of the things they featured when they were pre-selling the units. Guaranteed 24/7 water supply.

During summer water supply in the city becomes an issue. So many neighborhoods get very little supply of it. No wonder a lot of small families and individuals are choosing to live in buildings where water supply is guaranteed.

Zombadings

I’ve been meaning to watch this movie but for some reason I missed it. Zombadings: Patayin sa Shokot si Remington was one of those Tagalog movies that I would risk watching in the movie house. I can’t remember exactly why I missed the theater run but I think it had something to do with the schedule. Which was really too bad as I was looking forward to seeing it.

I remember that as soon as posters were up, I told my sisters that we should watch the movie as the title itself was already so darn funny!

I will just have to buy the DVD of the movie and watch it at home.
