I Wish Our Only Boy Loves Music

We have three kids, 2 girls and a boy. I am not really sure what extra curricular activities our only boy likes, but I wish that he will somehow like music. I have been thinking of enrolling him to music lesson if he is interested. For a start, guitar would be a good instrument for him to start playing with. I was browsing different guitars and although I love acoustic ones but I also like the synyster gates guitar from musicians friend. I showed the guitar to him that I found and he said it is one cool guitar. I don't know, but in all honesty, I am not gifted with musical talent and neither my husband. So we are hoping that our kids will at least learn to play any musical instrument and I will be a very happy Mom. I will not force them though, as long as will be happy and if they like it, then I will be very supportive.

Reminiscing My Days as a Nursing Student

I love to reminisce my younger years and how I ended up being a nurse here in the land down under. I was going through my old photographs and saw this picture with my very good friend V. She is also working as a nurse now and living a good life with her husband in the US. We went through a lot together during our college life. The sleepless nights, the long days with our internships, and the grueling period of our licensure review and exam makes us more closer. I am glad that until now our communication is still intact and we can both laugh at our past and experiences together.

I can't imagine how time flies. This picture was taken almost 2 decades ago. I would say that I have lived a challenging but fulfilling life with a very stable and rewarding nursing career, helping those who are sick and in need. With my family, we have been to 2 continents working as a nurse and I can't replace the years and experiences that I went through. I am so glad that I am a nurse now and I cannot imagine what will be my life if I did not become one.

Back to Tending our Garden

After we got back from our long vacation, my husband is now back in tending our garden during his off days at work. Even when he gets home from work he still finds time to do gardening. I suggested to him that we may make a small garden house at the back or a green house for growing seeds, especially veggies. We need some t-nuts, bolts, and other tools in building it's foundation so it will hold on and not blown away when  it gets too windy here in our place.

Below is a picture I took of him on the day we arrived from our vacation. The first thing he checked out was our backyard and was relieved when he saw that all his plants are still thriving and green. We are also thankful that everything is fine and just few cleaning up and fertilizing for some of the plants.

Scary Beautiful

I’m not fond of wearing high heels; I just wore them when there’s an occasion where I need to use them. Some women like wearing these shoes because it adds poise, and believe it or not every time you wear them, you feel sexy.

Yes, they make you sexy; they give attitude, but how far do want to wear them? I found these strange shoes with high heels. Seeing this picture makes me wonder, why would somebody wear such an odd looking thing, but then I thought of Lady Gaga and I said that would work for her. The designer of the shoe brand called Scary beautiful is Leanie van der Vyver and Dutch shoe designer René van den Berg. They said that beauty has reached its climax and they wanted to create a new kind of standards. Wow, I mean the price of vanity, to be beautiful or to become scary beautiful? The way I look at it, the shoe doesn’t make sense, how can you walk in those? But then again, maybe these shoes may pave it way to the creation prosthetic fashion. It’s a stupid shoe, but it’s bold and risky and maybe it’ll work.

The Best Choir

I am a choir member in our parish church for ten years. And I have seen different leadership in the organization. But what I like best is the new leader of the choir and his management skills that made the choir earn lots of money. The money that the organization earns was used in buying musical instruments and musical pieces for the choir.

The choir members were very happy for the new instruments especially when the president has acquired a good yamaha psr e233. Now the choir can sing melodiously in every high mass and every occasion where we were invited to sing. We can also jam any time we like, with any songs we want to sing. We can also travel anywhere we would like to go, just like in the resorts, in events, in theatre, etc. and tell the world that we are the best performers. People would always have positive feedback for the choir and everybody is very happy at least their efforts were noticed by the people.
