doodle keeps her busy

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

We notice how Olin loves to doodle, she often asks for a paper and pen or colors and she wouldn’t stop whining until you give her the things she’s asking. So I make it a point to keep everything handy that wehenver she asks for it we can give it to her fast. And yes, we already opened her triangular crayola’s she got last Christmas, and she is enjoying it so much! and the fact that its washable makes me feel at ease too! :D

Anyways, while she was busy with something else the other day, I did some snapping of her doodle stuff, nevermind the drawings, it was by me :D The little one bugged me to draw her “haws and tee” (house and tree)

doodles by you.

Fireplaces for Winter

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

I envy those who are in the states that are actually preparing or using their Hole in the Wall Fires or fireplaces and heaters now. You see, winter season is approaching them already and we are here still in heat with our humid weather. And with that, more and more introductory offers of different brands of Gas Fires or Electric Fires are being offered in the market. I even heard one of my friend ranting about a certain fireplace company of being so rude and pushy. They even called her at her office asking her to order as early as now, but you see, my friend already have an old but still running electric fire place, so no need for a new one as of this writing. Although she actually feels sorry for the sales agent because she knows that the man is only looking for a sale, but then again, if it is not the right time and the customer said no, just stop. So no argument and no bad mouthing can be heard against the company. Well that is why hotprice.co.uk is known to be the most in demand fire place selling company for the good reputation it has in the line of this kind of business. This is what most costumers are actually looking for in a certain company, the good name that the good service comes along with. Something this company has.

This is what I like! :D

WS: Full Moon part 2

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

As posted here and here, we had the nicest full moon for two straight days and I was lucky enough (for the second time) to capture the big Mr. Moon last night.. I was able to use my other lens too! I didn’t have a hard time snapping this time because we had a clear cloudless sky! but it was really freakin’ cold outside I had to run back and forth inside and outside the house. I had a very nice time capturing the moon together with my awed daugther, she keeps on saying “hello Moon!!!” “bye moon” which we find really really cute! I guess she also has a thing for nature sight seeing :D

Anyways, before I go on to research about cerebral palsy that my sister asked me to for her assignment, let me share with you some of my shots of the moon last night..

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

As I posted here, the biggest full moon of the year were seen last two nights ago… Anyways, when I learned about it we were at my parent’s house and my slr are at our place, so I had to ask the husband to bring the camera before night time… but unfortunately, he arrived late! the moon were already at its highest and clouds were already covering the main attraction.. but I still waited and was able to capture some snaps… Also, the husband forgot to bring my other lens so I was left with the 18-70mm lens.

I actually have no idea on how to take photos of the moon, I had to tweak my settings for sometime before I was able to grab this. click here for more photos

business opportunity to consider

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

Watching the evening news right now and I can’t help but feel sad with all the negative news that they feature, can’t the news team find positive and encouraging news to feature?! Are we all leading to a doomed world now?! More and more companies are declaring bankruptcy and a lot of employees are being laid off every now and then. Sad but true, economic situation of almost every country are struggling big time nowadays, that is why while some others says that there are still hope for those who are keeping their faith to their businesses, it is better to get themselves into stock options trading, that is when this iron condor comes in. This system promises returns in huge amount in no time, given their proven ways to help companies and individuals by using their resources into stocks and waiting for the right time to get your investment back with proportioned income that you were able to earned! Great way to still keep moving right?
