She’s Another Year Older Today On Her Granny’s Death Anniv

Being too occupied with so many tasks,  it almost slipped my mind that it’s 29th of April today.  RAQUEL, my niece by my big brother (+) is celebrating her birthday today which is also the death anniversary of her Grandma, (my mother),   Raquel is presently based in San Diego, California and Tahoe, Nevada.  I’ve heard she’s too busy with her graduate studies as she’s about to graduate this coming semester (the reason why we don’t disturb her).  I’m sure, she’ll gonna have a great celebration with her and Matt’s group of friends or is she spending her day again in another European tour just like last year?!! 

Happy Birthday, RAQUEL! 

May you forever be blessed with all your heart’s desires!

We miss you!      

Summer Fun

Tired of the intense heat of summer? Come and  frolic in the cool waters of the river.  This photo was taken in the town of Nagcarlan, Laguna when we visited the place a couple of summers ago.  The crystal clear water is truly irresistible especially if you are an aqua-holic like me 

From Trade Show to Birthday Party

It was my friend’s birthday yesterday. As in the previous years, she’s holding a birthday party and the whole gang is again invited.  It will be held tomorrow night at the village’s little park and I have seen her son and nephew fixing the place for tomorrow’s occasion.  A big tent and canopy are now at bay waiting to be assembled.  She’s fortunate that her hubby’s office just wrapped up from a trade show of digital electronics, hence the timely availability of those tents and logo canopy. 

Incidentally, we’ve been to that trade show as we were canvassing for an affordable laptop for my son.  I already saw the mentioned company’s logo canopy from the entrance and it was an eye catcher with it’s bold prints.  The trade fair, I noticed,  got a unique trade show flooring which I think is better than the trade show carpet I saw from another trade expo event.  It’s like an advertising board and interior décor rolled into one.   The trade fair’s interior arrangements would have been more complete if only they placed logo mats at the entrance of the fair.  It could have been another simple but effective advertising per se.

Anyhow, I’m looking forward to another merry moment with the other couples of the gang.  And we will certainly be safe covered by the tents from his hubby’s company.

Home Loan Modification

 Our house remodeling is not over yet.  It’s likely that it would take another few weeks more before the entire work is completely done.  Anyway, it isn’t much of a problem for me actually, compared to my neighbor who is now trying to get Home Loan modification for her housing loan arrears in the bank.  It’s depressing to think that their house is facing foreclosure in the near future if she won’t take proper action. Nonetheless, getting Loan modification isn’t difficult at all. She just have to deal with proper bank authority.

On the contrary, I feel so blessed having settled our housing loan in ten years time as against the actual 25 year loan term that we signed for.  Time flies swiftly and we just learned way back in the 90’s that we’re already done with our housing loan payments.  It was an awesome feeling getting rid of a huge obligation,
