My eldest daughter noticed this unusual spectacle yesterday and took several photos: May 16, 2010 Venus and crescent moon alignment. One of which is this:
Venus and crescent moon aligned in the sky. Photo taken at 6:38pm some minutes before the setting happened, time was according to the news. Daughter said she even saw Venus “disappear” while we were on the road, which was also reported in the news.
I say it beats seeing this in person rather than watching video footage even on HDTV.
This rarely occurs and the next one is said to be slated on August 13, 2012 which is a day after this daughter’s birthday. Not everyone gets to see it too.
My friend iMom took a photo too. Enchie had photos too.

Right foot of my son who loves to play outdoors, the other half of his pair of often dirty feet. He loves to walk barefoot in the house.
Running after kids is a good way to exercise even without fitness equipment.
With the way children are plopped in front of a computer or game console, they miss out on a lot of things that playing with friends and/or playing outdoors can give them.

A lot of things are vertical in this Sunday afternoon photo. I also featured a part of this set here. I don’t take much photos anymore when we come here.
This is where we love to have a run (or ok, more of walking for me). This placed used to be a bit deserted during this time a few years ago but since “running” as a sport has taken a new twist, everybody and his uncle are into it. And a lot see themselves as “experts”. Hmmm…
Anyway…
Since running has a lot of positive benefits (yay, shoe stores are happy!) taking this as a sport is not bad. For those who want to lose weight, running and weight loss diet is a good combination to achieve good results.And that is just one of the benefits one can get from running.
So…
1, 2, 3, let’s go! 🙂

The sweet ice cream just got sweeter with chocolate syrup.
Summer = unbearable heat. See how fast the ice cream melted before the children even started scooping their share. The kids even kidded it felt like having a chocolate milk shake than ice cream 😀

We homeschool the kids but this coming school year, we plan to enroll them in a school. Consensual choice.
So now, a job search begins.
Who would want a middle-aged female and mom like me in the work force? I know I have the credentials, the skills, the (ahem) personality and on top of that I have other skills that I can be proud of.
Still on top of that, if I go the usual channel of job application, I may not be able to land one.
Why not?
I find companies in this country discriminating. There seems to be a NO EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY for those applying for job vacancies.
I’d see job postings: “Graduates of blah-blah-blah courses, preferably from yada-yada-yada universities”
Preschool teacher: Preferably single and not more than 35 years old. (Yeah right how could single moms care for preschool children but then again married teachers will excuse themselves because of child/home-related emergencies)
I don’t know, should the Labor Department look in on this?

A trio of dips from Mang Inasal: vinegar, chicken oil and soy sauce.
Mang Inasal stores are just about anywhere. In the area where we live, there is one nearby but another one is being constructed.
Unlimited rice. For the uninitiated, rice is staple food in the Philippines and is present in almost every meal.(Yes, figure conscious people should have their weight loss pills ready 😀 )
We like eating here because the food being served are “homely” and simple.
