      Dresses are ladies’ grave temptations. Aside from shoes and bags, dresses also belong to ladies’ greatest possessions. This is one of the expenses most of the money of women went to. I, for myself as a woman wants to own nice and lovely dresses. My last purchases had been yellow formal dresses to match a motif of a wedding I attended to. Of all the dresses that I acquired, the dress that is unforgettable to me would be the elegantv neck long sleeve split dress I bought for a certain social gathering.       Dresses are made for certain occasions. There are elegant dresses for weddings, social gatherings, church services and other formal occasions. Casual dresses are for day-to-day activities, shopping, meet ups, informal occasions and other activities that doesn’t require formal attire. The chosen dress to wear must suit to what occasion we will attend to, as they say, dress accordingly.        In choosing a  dress , my f...

"Sunset is so marvellous that even the Sun itself watches it every day in the reflections of the infinite oceans!" - Mehmet Murat Ildan Truly, sunset is a thing to marvel. Its beauty is unique that captivates us all the time. Fortunate for us, we've been able to find a spot with an overlooking view and a beautiful sunset. It is now our new favorite place at Barugkot, Kimarayag, Pigcawayan, Cotabato with its new name as "Lily's View Cafe".  Since we now visit these often here are some beautiful sunsets we've captured. These are also the time lapse videos of the sunsets

Hang in there! There is a rainbow after the rain.We are now near to the end of this lockdown. Our new normal would now be different from before because of this corona virus. Regardless of what we have been through we were able to survive it. We endured the one  and a half month of staying at home. Though a lot of recipes had already been cooked, a lot of activities had been made, a lot videos had been posted on social media, a lot of sleep had already been done, a lot of weight had already been gained and lot of things that we have done that we didn’t do before  just to survive this quarantine. We can do it and we will stay resilient and survive this pandemic. Hang in there! We will heal as one. 💕

           This is the latest addition to our house, an aquarium. We have been planning of putting a container with water in our house since we are heavy users of the air conditioner. The air conditioner made our skin dry and cracked. We have observed this because while after staying for dew days in our house in the province, in an air-conditioned room, we have cracked skin in our feet and dry skin. Our neighbor advised us before to put a pail of water next to the air conditioner. So instead of a pail, why not put an aquarium. It would not only serve as a humidifier but as well as a stress reliever. Luckily our nephews had been fond of small fishes. They have spare aquarium glass and air pump. They set it up and donated the fishes. We have koi, guppy and fighting fishes. It still needs some plants and stones. Well, true enough it serves its purpose as a humidifier. We refill the water absorb by the air conditioner every day. This is our aquarium/humidi...

Mark 5:21-43   King James Version (KJV) 21  And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea. 22  And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, 23  And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. 24  And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. 25  And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26  And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27  When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28  For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29  And straightway the fountain...

         A sudden news came up to me, my niece is calling, crying that my dog is not breathing anymore. Chicco suddenly passed away.         It had been several weeks that I am missing Chicco. We are currently under Enhanced Community Quarantine in the province  due to COVID -19 and we could not go back to the city because of the lockdown. It is almost two months that we are not able to see our dogs. Maybe Chicco missed us so much that it may be the cause of death. Some also says that it might be heatstroke because of the hot weather and the sudden rain. It could be because of its current age because its mother is on the same age when it died.              Chicco is now seven years old and had been my best buddy ever. A dog I missed whenever I am away on travel. I always remember it whenever I see K-9 units in hotels or airports. I remember it whenever I am eating foods with big bones....

The last but not the least topic is too personal for me which is about my dogs. The big dog in the picture above is my baby Chicco. So stay put in my blog and I will keep you posted. :)

It was a good news, Google Adsense made some changes in their payment system. I am so happy that finally they were now flexible in terms of payment. Though I am still too far from my next payment, I am so glad that I could already change my payee name to my married name. When I received my first payment from Google Adsense, it was still in my single name. I find difficulty in providing a valid id having my single name because when I got married, I see to it that my important documents and IDs were already transferred to my married name that nothing was left having my single name. Good thing I still have my employee id from my previous employer bearing my single name that by presenting this id, I was able to get my Google Adsense income. That is why I am so thankful that Google Adsense already made the changes I needed so that if ever I will claim my Google Adsense income I have valid IDs to present.

Its been a long time since I wrote some posts. Several weeks already had passed since the last time I updated this blog. Well a lot of things get me busied. Aside from my job, my masteral studies get me going. I already finished the first semester for my second year and hopefully I would now be ready to take the comprehensive exam. Lately, I was also fascinated to Instagram that I was always up to date to it. Well as much as possible I really want to have more time with blogging and hopefully it would be part of the list of what's keeping me up on the comings days. 

There are certain things in life that we want for ourselves but not given. Later on  we would realize the reason why it was not given which is for us to be a better person.  I received a sadden news today. I was not accepted in the government agency where I applied a couple of months ago. All this time I thought I was only waiting for an appointment letter because I already submitted my employee requirements and done a series of interviews. Only up to this day that I have known that my batch mate was already accepted and had been reporting to the office assigned for one month already. She said that they repeated the whole process a couple of months ago but only few of them was called to do so. Maybe because of the new head that was assigned or because of some other reasons why it was repeated. There are some disappointments on my part because it was one of the competitive jobs I could have if I would stay in the province. It is a secured job working in a government agency. It ...
