A Place I Call It A Home
Tuesday, July 10, 2007




This is the place where I grew up, a place I call my home. This is in Mintal, Davao City. My parents bought this residential lot for only 7,000 pesos in the year of 1979...hmmm nowadays, res. lots here in Mintal costs a million for 600 sq.m. It is developing in terms of infrastructures yet preserves the laid back lifestyle, and countryside ambiance.

So this is where I was raised and molded, very simple lifestyle, all green and we all have the cleanest air we needed. If we don't have money to buy food, we have small backyard garden and just pick some fresh veggies, we never get starve here as this place is blessed with cheap fruits (lots of fruits) and vegetables.

There is no place like Davao and there is no place like Mintal...

Francswiss.biz
Sunday, July 8, 2007
Francswiss.biz is a private memberships program that specializes in making profits from High Yield Investment opportunities.This program is a real investment, which returns are all generated from real-life investments. The money you invest is re-invested for you and it is your invested money that will bring you the big returns.

The question is... Is this biz legitimate?

I was also recruited by my cousin, it was really attractive to invest 1000$ and earn 45$ everyday straight from my bank account but the first thing that popped in my mind, is this company registered or legitimate...why such a fast and high ROI? I can’t imagine after 23 days, I already get back my principal money…and the succeeding days will continue earning 45$ or more depends on the number of the people u recruited, that means in a year or so I will be a millionaire!!! Right after my cuz invited me, the news about Francswiss bloated in the headline news, this is not registered with SEC and they consider this business a scam! Good thing I confer this to my cousins Che and she said it is too risky, well in my case, if I have a million in my bank account why not! But if I only have 50 or 60t, I can’t dare loose my money…

Finding The Right Man For You
Friday, July 6, 2007
There are no specific guidelines as how to find the right man, in my opinion, what is important is acceptance, respect, trust and both should compliment with each other. So many Filipinas nowadays are trying to hunt foreigners particularly caucasians, and some are even desperately looking... hmmm anyway, if u are one of these women here..well I hope not desperately looking, you all have your answers now... it's me you are looking for :) I am connected at Mabuhay Int'l Visa Consultancy Services the owner is one of my co-teachers before in a Korean school who got married with an Italian guy. Drop me a message if you are interested. :)

Disneyland Hongkong
Thursday, July 5, 2007

Every child dreams to visit and experience the magical shows in Disneyland...I heard a lot of amazing stories and experiences in Disneyland FL from my classmates when I was in high school. I was fascinated by the stories and I told to myself "someday I will meet Mickey and Minnie in Disneyland." Many years have gone, finally at the age of 27, I landed the land of Mickey. As what Disneyland says..."making your dreams come true", yes indeed, it was a dream come true and it was never too late for me.

A Piece of Advice
Wednesday, July 4, 2007
We all went through in a state of dilemma, most of the time, routinary activities and long awaited plans are wearisome and taxing to the point of loosing one's patience. It seems that life revolves on this structure, nevertheless, it's a different experience. You may be doing the same thing but who's doing it-- a different you. It is the experience that counts 'cause learning emanates the reform. Well, it must be coupled with resolutions not to commit the same mistakes.

I hope the passions for life that I see in you, your cheerfulness has not been wearied down by the situation you are in at the moment. I affirm that it is hard to cope. More so, that everyone concerned are the very ones that are most near to you, your daughter, parents and siblings...however these experiences are confirmations of being human, wouldn't it be good to feel those and conclude that "I am living" But it is not only feeling but more on giving meaning and direction to all of our experiences. Putting the measure of living is not the crisis we face but out positive attitude towards the crisis, it even will determine the outcome of our future. Put all your worries in God's hands, surely He has plans for you and for your daughter, strengthen your faith to Him.

A MESSAGE FOR MY DEAR FRIEND WHO IS STRESSED AND LOST.

Born To Be A Teacher
Tuesday, July 3, 2007
I’ve been a teacher for 4 years now. And, I would consider myself to be young in age, you know… I’ve done a lot of substitute teaching and found elementary school to be the worst. That was the reason I shifted teaching adults. They just seem to be more reserved in behavior, you know what I mean…


Well to start with the worst… paychecks. I would expect more. And, this is supposed to be a respected job, but there is no… little support from government.

Well I love the children, even though they can be a real handful. They are very smart, and kind, and respectful individuals. It is the best thing when you see them understand something you have taught them. Some cons about teaching: my paycheck is a beginner’s pay check; parents are not always involved like I wish they would be. For adults, some are irritable and impatient and can never be reprimanded, well that’s the price of teaching students older than me hehehehehe….

A Joint Celebration of Father’s Day and The 59th Birthday of Bartolome
Sunday, July 1, 2007

We had a joint celebration this week the Father’s day and my father’s 59th birthday. We celebrated it at Paradise Island, Samal. We were the 3rd earliest who arrived there; we arrived at exactly 7:30 am. I was the one who bought the Lechon (whole roasted pig) and my Tita shouldered the rice, viands and drinks.

Like just our outing before, Anton was always the highlight. He enjoyed the water and never got scared of the deep water and waves. We even left him alone in the water. He found new friends there but Anton is in the stage of throwing anything, so while in the seashore, he kept on throwing sand that made other kids annoyed…hehehehe He badly wants to ride the Kayak and the Pedal Boat ( I don’t know the name of that, just created a new name for it) but children below 9 years old are not allowed to ride… but I couldn’t resist, I let Anton ride but only in the shallow water. Gahi jud ulo ni si mama anna uy!

Well the oldies enjoyed also… we borrowed the pedal boat to exercise their brittle bones hahahaha… me naman, well as usual nag sun bathing kono, look like Balyena  golly I have gained a lot of weight… All of us enjoyed the clear and clean water in Paradise Beach Resort, best time to be there is early in the morning.<

Mother and Child
Saturday, June 30, 2007

Having a child is a blessing and being a mom is a lot of task and a big responsibility. I would say, it is very fulfilling and rewarding when I see my child growing so adorable and healthy. For mothers, Emotional Availability is very important, it is more than picking them up from school, putting dinner on the table, or squeezing in some "quality time." They also need you to be there emotionally -- and the degree and quality of my communication and connection can play a big part in my child’s confidence, his success in future relationships, even his success in the adult world.


Last night I spent with my friend, we had dinner and a serious long talk about her life and her daughter…being away from her daughter makes her emotionally battered. I can relate and feel how hard to be away from children. God hope that will not happen to me. The longings of affection and love are always there. I don’t know if all moms believe this, but somehow I do believe that wives can always replace husbands but mothers can never replace their children...
