One of the things I enjoy most when I am in the mall is looking at kitchen gadgets, next to looking at books and discount furniture.
Lately, I have discovered the joys of baking. Not that I bake decadent goodies but rather good enough to be appreciated by my family.
Of course, some of the things on my list that I am looking forward to getting in the near future are gadgets that can help me do better with my baking skills. Even if baking is a bit tiring, at least I know how the food my children are having was prepared

Valentine’s Day has come and gone and yes, people have celebrated this day differently.
For us, we went to my eldest daughter’s school to watch the cheering competition I am sure a lot of families and couples of course celebrated this day in different ways.
I am sure a lot of families went out of town to celebrate which was our idea at first but the kids wanted to just stay at home 😀
To the beach? To a nature park? Reservations at Westgate? The possibilities are endless!
No matter how this day was spent, what is important is to feel loved and to give love not only on this day but the whole year through 🙂
Which reminds me, I have asked and written about Favorite Romantic Movies and Favorite Love Songs 🙂

The theme for this Saturday is NAUTICAL.
We have several photos taken from passenger ships but I am too lazy to look for them in the files. Nautical commuting is a big thing in this island of 7,107 islands called the Philippines. Yes, we are surrounded by water.
Here is my other entry.
I chose the photo below as my entry because model scales are wonderful and very detailed. So now I present a scale model of the USS Nmitz CVN-68.
Scale model of USS Nimitz CVN-68
This photo was taken late last year from an exhibit about scale models ranging from toy soldiers to cars and locomotives, as well as war planes and war ships. It was a bit difficult to take photos through a glass but I managed a bit. That is until the kids started to get bored 😀

One of the major causes of respiratory diseases or triggers of an allergy/asthma attack is air pollution. Ugh. It is a bad condition when one sees how much those who are affected suffer.
Smog is very apparent here in Mega Manila that every time we travel to work in the morning, the steel buildings in the business district where our workplace is located are not seen clearly until one is very near them.
I’m not kidding, see the photo below:
Never mind the traffic, now that is another sad story.

The business sector is frightening. So many big companies are folding up and millions of people are affected. Why millions? Because one employer affected by his company folding up has most likely a family who he supports.
There are those who operate in the underground economy who are also affected. There are a lot of people who benefit from the underground economy, those who do buy and sell different products like food. And because their businesses are considered in the small-scale sector, they see no reason to have their businesses insured unlike big businesses who has to get business insurance.
People are not choosing their jobs anymore. Some women would go for man jobs if it means getting work and getting pay for it.
One thing for sure, now is the time to seriously practice tightening the belt in preparation for more punches and kicks. Or should I say, we should not stop tightening the belt as of now.

Arts and crafts are a big thing for me, as a mother and as a teacher. I have written articles about why it is important to teach these to children here and here.
One of the ways to show how creative the children are is by giving away handmade greeting cards during special occasions. Be these manually made or done using the computer, I am sure these will be appreciated well.
One of the ways to send greetings to loved ones during special occasions is by sending online greeting cards. Yes, these are economical and has a fast delivery.
The other day, I saw my six year old daughter Tania make a Valentine greeting card on the desktop and here is what she made:
Simple but it sure brings the message across 🙂
