Pinay Mommies Community Charity : Distribution of Goodie Bags

Monday last week, July 9, 2012, we met at Pinay Mommy Online Head Quarters for the preparation of the goodie bags that we gave last Friday, July 13, 2012 at Zone 6 and 8 of Barangay Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City.

The Sendong survivors here have their temporary shanties which served as their sleeping and private areas. They have a cooking area as well as a washing area to keep the place in order. And that's a common scene in both Carmen covered court in Zome 6 as well as that in Alco Homes covered court in Zone 8.

Aside from the P&G products we packed as sanitary packs, we also gave them packs of used clothing with noodles, canned goods and cupcakes courtesy of some mommies who gave funds for the charity event.

Thank you to all members of Pinay Mommies Community all over the world, especially those who blogged about P&G's e.Estudyante, which gave us all the P&G products to give away...

A Little Prayer Helps

I watched a few crash videos of motocross competitions in You Tube and I am really shocked at all the damage. It must really be very strenuous. No mother would want to see her son go through such painful experience. Though some would proudly say it's death defying for as long as good helmets are used. To me, that is actually outrageous. Just thinking about it makes it so. On another hand, a good helmet must really be a life saver.

I hear that good helmets can be found at all leading sports hubs and also at some websites like Compacc.com for motocross helmets. But of course, a little prayer helps. In fact, a little prayer goes a long way.. So instead of freaking out, mothers should just give their sons some positive vibes and lots of prayers for a safe landing..

It's Final

This morning, I thought of bringing Lili with me to Pinay Mommy Head Quarters for tonight's event. Well, it's not every day that she will be able to meet other kids, apart from those who she meets in school. But now, I have finalized that I won't be taking her as she is not yet done with all her assignments. 

I am sure there will be another opportunity for her to bond with the other kids.. In the meantime, let me go ahead and take a break from the net.. 

Bye for now people.. I have an important task to do..

The Modern Craftsman

Most of the wood carvers that I’ve seen here in the Philippines are using the traditional methods in making functional or decorative household items. But modern technologies right now are able to emulate the same results what the traditional tools can manage to create whether it is just a simple or complicated design.

The cabinet door router bit set is one good example as a solution to your molding and edging requirements and needs. It has more or less the same results if you are going to compare it from the handmade finished products. And to some who are really skilled worker and who may have a lot of experience already, you may not be able to determine if it was made from traditional tools or modern machinery already. But nonetheless, it is still a matter of pride to the artist or carvers if the finished product that they have created is made by hand.

Meeting Tonight

Hello Monday! It's gonna be a hectic week. Tonight we are going to meet at Pinay Mommy headquarters to pack the loot we are to distribute on Saturday.  I am sure it's gonna be fun. Mommy Jessica will be there and it will be our first time to see each other in person. 

Mommy Ruby has planned for us to take the kids with us but I am not sure if I will bring Lili tonight. I am afraid it will rain, plus she has to study for her lessons. 

Oh well, I will cross the bridge when I get there..

Facebook Helps A Lot..

I wonder if my friend's friend have already sold all musical instruments that he is selling. I saw that it was posted on her wall and so I simply shared it in mine. An FB friend of mine inquired and I left the two talking. Glad something came up with the share. Another friend of mine is seeking help for his roland fantom g8, but he told me not to share it at Facebook. He said that I should just tell people but not post it Facebook. So I find it difficult to be telling so many people when they could just read about it on my wall.

I have been sharing information in FB and somehow I see that it does reap positive results. I guess I need to educate my friend a little bit more.

Hello Monday!

It feels like I have not had a good weekend. Or no weekend at all. Worked thirty seven hours, with less breaks. I guess you could say Online Boss is a tyrant, hahaha.. But really, I just had so much on my sleeve. I had classes Saturday afternoon, and I have committed to some events Friday. So that my tasks from last wee have backlogged. 

Anyhow, Monday seems to be a little bit friendly. Hello Monday! Time for a cup of coffee.. hehehe

But above is what I want.. hahahaha

Wish..wish.. wish..

On days like this I sure wish that we have a pool here. We don't have to install raypak as it is not necessary, but I would love for the water to be cold instead, lol. A break that will be easily accomplished without leaving the confines of the home. Whew... I wish!

On another thought, I wish I have a clone. One who will finish all my tasks while the real me will go and enjoy a really nice massage. Crazy wishes ei? Anyway, I will have Alana come after I am done with all my tasks.

Cracked!

Words elude me. I have been doing my tasks for more than twenty hours, and I feel now I am lost for words or topic. Sure I have a topic to write in a 500 word task but my brain is now wanting to crack. Well, let's see, I am right now taking a break from my 27th article.. My head hurts. I am so sleepy yet I need to wake up today just as I do wake up every day for my obligations to my daughter, with no complaints of course as I do that with love. I want to go back to sleep now but I can not because I have to finish, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to submit my articles on time. I am not really complaining, it's just that sometimes, when all the world seems to crack me, I allow it. It's like having your brains printed on paper using thermal transfer printer. Oh how I wish I do not have to type them but rather, have them printed directly from the brain. Hahahaha..

Good morning everyone! Have you had your coffee yet?

Hmmmm

Yesterday, a fellow mommy blogger invited me and other mommy bloggers for her birthday treat at Big Flat Bread in Lim Ket Kai Mall. I was already very late as I forgot the time, but I had no choice but to take the jeepney since there was no taxi that passed by. It would have been faster and much more comfortable to combat the heat when in a rush on a taxi.

The Jeepney I rode was empty except for me and another passenger and the driver's assistant cum barker and cashier. Then I smelled the smoke coming from the driver himself as he was smoking while driving. I asked him politely to blow his smoke in another direction, but he simply ignored me. I transferred seats instead, but before I did, I took the photo above using my phone. I feel disappointed that in public transports, there is a No Smoking sign and there is a city ordinance that prohibits any driver or commuter to smoke, yet it is not being followed. Let alone, respected. Well, this is not the first actually. There are so many of them, inconsiderate, undisciplined fools who, not only act out their irresponsibility and destroy lives in the process, at the same time, being hard headed citizens with no regard for the law who proudly flaunt their stupidity by doing what they do.

The sad thing about these persons, they are the ones who complain a lot about the country being bad, the economy being bad, and the people around them reacting badly about their vices.. 

That's why, sometimes, I wouldn't really wonder why some people get shot in public.. it's either they have been bad or some bad people find them annoying..

Water

A Hindu teacher once taught his students the importance of water. Water to sustain life, and to heal people from diseases, if not prevent it. The student was confused at first, but believed his teacher when he said that drinking two glasses of water upon waking up help revitalize the senses as it helps activate internal organs. A glass of water taken thirty minutes before meal helps with digestion, and a glass of water before taking a bath lowers blood pressure. Now, if one is to avoid stroke and hearth attack, another glass of water will do the trick. And that's not included in the eight glasses a day water drinking protocol. If that is done religiously, no one will want to visit http://www.shoppharmacycounter.com/t-Adipex-Medicine.aspx anymore..

Excited?

My daughter is now trying to sleep for tomorrow is their first day of school. Unfortunately, she is not feeling comfortable for the sunburn on her back. We placed cooling powder and she's almost asleep now while I am still awake and in search of an offsite data protection. I still have some remaining tasks to finish before I call it a night, and I still have to sharpen their pencils, as I promised to do so. Waaah.. I am also excited for my daughter and baby brother. And tomorrow, I will need to look for some books that we were not able to buy yesterday. I am happy to report that I saved P 500 for the ten books I bought from United Bookstore, instead from the school. 

A new school year, new teachers, new challenges, new expenses.. Am I excited? I guess you could say that.. All these challenges are mine to hurdle too.

Offline

Totally out of the web for a day or so.. I was offline for a day and a half. And somehow, I felt it was forever. My Internet provider-- Sun Cellular sucks mucho! And my back up, SmartBro sucks too. I almost didn't make it to deadline, but thanks to some GWs, I was able to submit my finished tasks. Spent the day at the beach, but unfortunately for me, my cellphone as well as my camera died on me. No pictures, no nothing. It seemed that the world fell.. Hahaha.. But of course, when I was able to finish everything now that I am back here in the apartment, I feel alive again.

I am now officially ONLINE.. and I am thinking of changing Internet providers as well as back ups..

Social Medicine

Social Media came and we embraced it. Used it and some can't even live on a daily basis without it. Social medicine is about to become the next big thing after social media, did you know that. As much as doctors want to take advantage of social apps like Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter, they arfe prevented from doing so because it  doesn't provide the level of security required by HIPAA, as well as verify their users. That means that anyone can pretend to be a doctor and misuse the system. However, a new app from the creators of Epocrates has now become the social medicine platform for physicians and healthcare workers. Doximity is a free app which has features  found in social networks, but with added layers of security and verification.  Doximity features perhaps the best database of physician profiles in the world which look more like doctor CV’s that show the doctor’s publications, clinical trials, board certifications, and much more. Here’s an example of Jeffrey Brinker, MD’s Doximity profile.

WOW..

I saw this really nice design of a child's room with every detail in place. I love the fact that there would not be a need for standsandmounts, as the bed is utilized for storage purposes, as well as its original purpose. If this is feasible in smaller spaces, I am sure I will be thinking of this design for one of the rooms here in the apartment. But then, I have also seen some disadvantages, considering that the place is only rented and not our own. Perhaps some alterations from this very design..

Rent A Book: Make A Difference

Have you heard about Operation Smile? From my short online research, I found out that this movement, Operation Smile, is actually an organization where children with cleft anomalies and deformities undergo a  life changing cleft lip surgeries. Said children are from families that could not otherwise afford the surgical process. This long term improvement in the children's quality of life are truly inspiring. Donations come from all over, and mostly from big companies and individuals who are known in the society. But who says that college students are not able to do that too? 

CampusBookRentals.com is actually a partner of Operation Smile. For every book rented, a portion of the fees go to Operation Smile. So that college students who patronize textbook rentals, are also donating for the said cause. They have also aside $90,000 in textbook scholarships that had been distributed to students in communities just like ours, so that underprivileged kids will have books to use. 

Here's a video of how textbook rentals work:

Here are some CampusBookRentals.com FAQ's too:

Now, I am even more excited to look for books like Sybil, and rent it. It's gonna be 40-90% cheaper than buying the book itself, plus I can highlight on some important facts in the book. I can enjoy a 30 day risk free return. Best of all, I get to donate to Operation Smile..
