Project-Family Tree

I love to look at our family pictures which to my dismay is so few. The ones I have when we were still kids are still black and white pictures and I treasure them very much. Someday I would love to do a family tree project. This seems to be an enormous project but I would love to see the result. I remember one of my cousins attempted to do one but she failed so I guess I have to try harder just in time for our grand reunion next year. My family on the mother side is a big one but with the help of aunts and uncles and some distant relatives I hope to finish it by January. In case I need a much deeper research on our genealogy I don’t need to worry because I know where to go to. In case you do not know, you can now search for family records or any documentations online so doing research is not as hard as before now.

If you're in the US, publicgenealogy.org might be the only site you'll need in doing your family tree. From their vast archive of records you can obtain documents such as death certificates, court records and even histories. They offer it so cheap and easy so tracing your family roots which I think is important to all of us is not that hard anymore. Go and try it.

Will I ever be an entrepreneur?

My cousin and I were discussing over yahoo messenger yesterday about quitting our present job and establishing a business of our own. I’ve been contemplating of leaving this job not because I don’t love the work and the compensation but because I think I need a rest for me to be able to get pregnant. (Some friends think the same thing)

I watched “the beat” last night with Mr. Colayco as a guest and they featured some good business options for women. According to him, fashion or accessories is one good option and he mentioned that there is also a big chance SPA business. Of course you have to consider your location and your market too.

Now, both of what he mentioned was not even considered by me and my cousin. We talked about putting up a pre-school and an internet café as another option. Honestly, I wanted to pursue a career in IT, had I known before that today will be computer age I would have studied computer related course, so now if ever I quit this job I would want to take home study course or enroll in elearning program available in the net. Maybe not as complicated as MCSE but I would be interested in MOS or Microsoft office specialist. I cannot afford to go to regular classroom anymore so a self study is the best choice for me.

I think there are many opportunities offered by the internet, since we are facing world economic crisis, I think companies will opt to hire capable people over the net because that would mean less overhead expenses for them.

Hubby is quite interested in learning about computers too but he’s more on the hardware side.

I don’t know what will happen next year, I might still be here on my current job or I might be doing full time ministry or I might be managing our own small business. Whatever it is I am assure that God knows what is best for me.

I chose the right color!

As you all notice I already changed the template, I just love the color blue and found this nice lay out this weekend. I took this quiz and boy I was surprised to see that I picked the right color that fits my personality. Wanna know if what should be your blog color? take the quiz and have fun!

Your Blog Should Be Blue

Your blog is a peaceful, calming force in the blogosphere. You tend to avoid conflict - you're more likely to share than rant. From your social causes to cute pet photos, your life is a (mostly) open book.

What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?

Home Delivery!

Now a days, people are being more conscious of their health, there has been an increase of healthy store nationwide, I hear a lot of talks about organic foods which we all know are healthy. I even know some moms out there who try to feed their children with healthy foods, vegetables and fish and fruits and it is a good thing to start as young as you are. Although there are more organic and healthy stores in the country now it is still not as accessible to many like of those fastfood shops which is in every corner of any city. I wish there is something similar to DHP Home delivery healthcare product here, it would be more convenient if you can just phone them, place your order and wait for it in your doorstep. I visited their site and saw a lot of health care products available like Diabetic Socks , pre-moistened washcloths and some maternity stuff. Now, that’s what we call convenience, everything being delivered to you, food,drinks, medicines and even car batteries. :)

Headache and an emergency site

Good morning!
I had a terrible headache last night, I wanted to go online and drop EC’s but I have to sleep early otherwise I won’t be able to come to office again today. I wish someday I won’t be worrying of coming to office anymore.
Anyways, I can’t promise any bloghops today but for sure tonight I’ll do that.

For the meantime, I have another good find on the web, this time it has something to do with water emergency. They offer water restoration, fungus remediation and Black Mold Removal. So if you’re one of the many US residents who always find water inside your house you might want to bookmark their site. Or even if you don’t need them now it’s always safe to have an emergency site or number available anytime.

Looking for a nice week ahead!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil.4:13

That would be my verse for the week. I know I need more strength to accomplish all the works to be done and who else can give me the strength but Jesus right?
There are still lots of things to do here at work and in the ministry as well. Today I have to start with the pending car insurance renewal of my boss. Several airline tickets too and a lot more.

For the ministry I’ll have to list down my to do’s :

1. Finish lay-out of ticket and poster for the fund raising concert –due Wednesday
2. Print-out tickets and posters
3. Print out pledge form for the scholars
4. Print 2nd Fishnets newsletter (ask from J-mie)
5. Finish distribution of thank you cards (follow up with the rest of the team)
6. meeting with the people involve in the concert
7. Photocopy 2 minutes of the meeting
8. Confirm Rommel Guevarra’s schedule

I’ll see if I can finish them all this week.
I hope we all have a nice week ahead of us!

Blog template changed

Whew!

I somehow did it. I changed the template though it is not complete yet, I still have to put shoutbox and some widgets. It’s no joke. It was pure headache especially fixing the linkbar. Imagine how shocked I was when I saw my blogroll at the top of my header? So I moved it manually and I feel satisfied because finally I was able to divide my list into two groups. So my N@W group has one separate list now.

I plan to add more widgets but that would depend again. I’m still trying to figure out how to change the header and move the blog title, still lot of things to do. I don’t have much time now because it’s office week again. I’ve spent so many times with this change, this morning hubby went for a jog and I was supposed to go but because I’m literally sleepless I didn’t join him, told him I’ll just jog and do some treadmill exercise in my dreams.(big grin)

Anyway, that’s all for now, thank you for putting up with me while major change is taking place with this site.

I’ll rest for now and will do bloghops tomorrow night! God bless everyone!

Why it is so hard for me to change template?

After what happened in my attempt to change this blog's template I'm now more hesitant to do such, I was awake until 5AM this morning but I wasn't able to fix it. I got so many Bx- code errors and I lost the interest of fixing it. I'll give myself at least a week or a month before I dare tweak those codes again. Good thing I am not acne prone inspite of these sleepless nights brought about by blogging.

I don't know, I still have offline tasks to do tonight but If ever I finish doing taht early I might still give it another try.

Do you have any suggestions where I can get simple 3 column template? One that is not too complicated to install. if you could refer some good and easy designs please I'll appreciate that.

Oh no!!

I MESSED UP MY BLOG!!!!!!!!!

I was just trying to change my template, I uploaded and saved the old one but for reasons I don't know I can't get it back to how it was before...:(

This is the very reason why I don't have the guts to change..

All the widgets are now LOST!!!

the alexa rank..the technorati and the google page rank..

and even my shoutbox!! waaaaaaaaah!!

and it's 4:53 AM already!!!

Forgive me people

I know you’re noticing more of paid posts here for the last week. In case you do not know, G awarded me with a PR when they last updated and I would just like to seize the opportunities presented to me. I consider it a blessing and I know it won’t be here to stay long.

However, I will try my best to do some personal post as many as I can to make up for it. I hope you still come and visit me once in a while. PLEASE!!!
