Grand Vacation
While some people can travel to a different country on the spur of the moment, I want it to be detailed, organized and well-planned to avoid unnecessary hassles and delays. I wish to travel to Sydney, Australia and explore the countless and amazing tourist spots the city has to offer. Staying in a five-star hotel just like Sofitel Sydney Wentworth is ideal not only because it is renowned for it’s elegant facilities but also because it is just a few minutes away from the world-famous architectural structures such as the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. My first stop would be the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Lot’s of people who’ve been there describe the museum as a treasurehouse of arts collection, perfect for somebody like me who loves paintings! Next, I’m going to treat my self with various Australian delicacies, buy a book about their culture, then walk on the streets of Sydney. Finally before I go home, I’d drop by the Harbour Bridge to watch the sunset.
Marriage at 25
At my age of 25, I would say that marriage is still the last thing on my mind. Why? I don’t know why. Maybe because I haven’t found Mr. Right yet and that I still have a lot of things brewing on mind right now. Like I want to study a different language, travel all over the Philippines, start my own business, etc. But there are times when I can’t help but imagine things about proposals and weddings. I’d imagine how my future husband would look like and if he’d give me flowers, chocolates and diamonds. Diamonds? Just like what I’ve seen from Blue Nile’s website? All beautiful, glittering and sparkling forever? Wow! I’m not exactly the materialistic kind of girl but I’ve seen on movies that a perfect proposal often includes a pretty diamond ring. Makes me wonder if I’d received that too? It doesn’t really matter. What I’m really praying for is someone who is kind-hearted and basically just someone whose age is not more than 5 years older than me. And while I’m still waiting for him, I’d just enjoy my single life to the fullest 
The Danger of Being Exposed to Asbestos
My favorite teacher in grade school was diagnosed with Mesothelioma, a type of lung cancer caused by prolonged exposure to asbestos. She was the most vibrant and nicest teacher I’ve ever had that’s why I was really disappointed when the guidance councelor told us that we were going to have a new intern for our Science class. We were told that our teacher was suffering from a lung disease and that she can’t attend her classes anymore. Later on, I overheard my other teachers talking about the danger of everyday exposure to chalk dusts. Apparently, these chalks contain asbestos which school teachers easily inhale through the dust while they are writing in the chalkboard. This is also the reason why in private schools, teachers use pentel pens and whiteboards.
Now, the problem with living and working in a third world country is that most people are not well educated about these things. Even if manufacturers have the responsibility of informing the workers, the government should do something to protect the public school teachers. People who are diagnosed with this disease can seek a Mesothelioma Lawyer who can provide legal assistance on claiming your legal rights. Yes, victims have rights to medical care.
A Caboodle of Flowers
There’s something about flowers that melts a lady’s heart. Flowers are lovely, sweet and they make the receiver feel like she is the most special woman in the whole wide world. I know a very pretty girl who fell in love with a man who sent her a caboodle of roses. People are funny. They can’t believe that she fell for the guy because she’s like a princess while he’s not-exactly-Brad Pitt, but he looks ok. If you will ask me, I think it is the goodness of his heart that captured the girl’s heart and of course the roses also helped a lot.
Speaking of flowers and all that caboodles I haven’t received yet in my entire life, I just stumbled upon a site that offers flower delivery to Russia. Now that online dating sites and long-distance relationships have become the trend, these kind of sites are making it easier for couples who have distance dilemma to express their love and affection even if they are far apart. Men can send flowers to Russia by simply visiting the site and making an order to any of their products. They don’t just deliver flowers but also wines, chocolates, perfumes, toys and even customized gifts. Check it out now!
Lifetime Debt
The only reason why I’m not quitting my job even if the salary is very low is because I don’t want to ask for help from other people and be indebted for the rest of my life. I know for sure it is inevitable that sometimes we will need help from our friends, colleagues and well, relatives. But as much as possible, I don’t want to borrow money so I am always stretching my budget to the highest level. Yes sure I have debts. But I’d rather borrow from people who are completely strangers to me than to my relatives. Why? Here’s why:
When I was in college I needed to quit my part time job so I could concentrate on my thesis. I was financially distressed at that time because my father just passed away and my family is still recovering from the lost. I am not really the type of person who would do this, I’m very shy but I badly needed it so I gathered all my guts and asked a relative if I could borrow 1000 pesos. She did lend me the money and I promised that I will return it as soon as I graduate and get a job but she refused telling me that it’s a gift. I thought it was some sort of goodwill. My dad helped her family so many times before so I thought she was just returning the favor through me. But I was totally mistaken because until now, that was almost 5 years ago, she is still telling all our relatives that I wouldn’t be able to finish college if she didn’t help me. If only I knew that it’s going to be some sort of a lifetime debt (graditude), I would never ask for her help.
A Refreshing Zero-Tolerance Policy
Before I got addicted to blogging, chatting online was my favorite passtime. If I wasn’t reading a book or watching DVD or sleeping, it could only mean one thing. I’m in front of the computer having a juicy conversation with my cousins and online friends. I usually stay in local chat rooms for more than 5 hours and for me it’s a great way of killing time when I feel lazy to go out. Blogging is my latest addiction but I still like to chat especially now that I’ve discovered Online Chat City. I’m not a member yet but I’m planning to register as soon as I am able to come up with a cute username. I’ve read the Terms and Conditions page of the site and I was very impressed with their policies. They do not tolerate pornography or any similar activities. This is very refreshing for a chatting site since most of the sites I’ve tried before are not very strict with their regulations. The admins of the said website are even encouraging the members to exit the chatrooms if they saw images which are inappropriate and obscene. They must also report it immediately if they encounter minor members in the site. I really have a good feeling that Online Chat City is a safe and decent site. Being 100% free is just a bonus.
Spring Waltz Rewind
Why can’t it be Arianne and Phillip? This is the question I’ve read from youtube while I was watching Spring Waltz’ videos. I don’t know if it’s Christian or Phillip she chose in the end but it seems that it’s Chris based on the comments on youtube. Too bad I wasn’t able to finish this beautiful korean drama series due to my changing work schedules. I wish channel 2 would consider to have this aired again on weekends so people like me who goes to work during weekdays will have an opportunity to finish the series. Another option for me is to buy a DVD copy but it’s still in Korean so I wouldn’t be able to understand it.
