Best Item for Dropaholics

I own a magnetic anklet because I often get my feet sore. But one item I would so love to acquire is a magnetic bracelet. I think it will do me good especially because my wrist and my arms are overworked from the dropping chores daily, haha! Though I have a wrist pad for protection, a magnetic bracelet would be best because it offers helpful magnetic therapy. Aside from that, there are numerous styles to choose from. I would love the cuff style which is made of stainless steal. I can't wait placing the purchase and use the bracelet that has magnetic power ;-)

A Peek at the Post-Election Evaluation & Strategic Planning Seminar-Workshop

Finally, the long and exhausting week is over! The past week has been a grueling one. My co-worker, Ate Vilma and I need to get things done for the Post-Election Evaluation and Strategic Planning Seminar-Workshop. Sending out the invitation letters, preparing the program and other logistics for the said activity is taxing. We carry the burden in making the seminar organized and successful.

Fortunately, the seminar-workshop was met with a favorable response from the participants who were composed of the representatives from the Department of Education, Philippine National Police, Department of the Interior and the Local Government, PPCRV, Local Government Unit of General Santos City and the Commission on Elections. The said government entities and non-government organization plays a very vital role in the conduct of the electoral process so that the Filipino electorates up to the grassroots level can exercice their rights to suffrage.

The seminar aimed of further knowing and internalizing the different government agencies' role, especially those offices who were deputized by the COMELEC in delivering their mandated power. The activity also enabled the participants to come up with a clear-cut goal for the upcoming 2010 elections through the effective facilitation of an expert consultant from a non-government organization.

The 2-day activity is the first of its kind in the region wherein the previous 3 major elections- May 14, 2007 National & Local Elections, October 29, 2007 Synchronized Barangay & Sangguniang Kabataan Elections and August 14, 2008 ARMM Automated Elections- were evaluated. The agencies concerned were able to identify their respective strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. They were also able to name the hinderng and facilitating factors in delivering their respective duties to their constituents. All these were made possible by the conduct of different workshops where the Technology of Participation (TOP) was clearly utilized.

Some snapshots in the seminar:

Dust, Dust, Go Away!

We live in a subdivision where the dust makes it so difficult for us to live everyday. It triggers asthma attacks. The need for steam cleaners makes it very necessary. I was able to find one site online where they offer various selections at a very affordable prices. And the catch is that they offer free shipping! Is it not great? Now I really need to save enough amount for me to have these items. It will be worth every penny.

Thank You, Windmill!

Windmill on the Hill is a very special blog to me. I always forget how tired I am from a day's hard work everytime I get to visit this blog owned by no less than the good-natured Windmill. It's like an addiction. After waking up from a deep slumber, usually at around 3 a. m., his blog is one of those few I take a peek at. He never ceases to inspire me and he keeps plastering a smile on my face. I still haven't forgotten the candy bar he gave me on November 9. That was too sweet of you, Windy! And I so love the name you gave me. LAINY BELLE sounds cute, isn't it?

When I was frequenting his blogs, I have noticed I wasn't in his Dynamite Droppers at first. After a few days, I made it to the Top 3 and now, my other blog Kuerdas made it to his Top 10! Well done, Lainy Belle!

The primary reason why I never let a day pass without visiting his blog, aside from dropping my cards, is because I know he has always something to offer- a word of inspiration, information, wisdom and humor. And mind you, he can write too many posts in a matter of minutes. And last night, I got home a little late and too tired from a long day's preparation for today's Seminar-Workshop, I left him a message telling him that I still managed to walk through his blog although I was dead tired. When I went back to say goodnight, my jaw dropped in amazement when I saw a wheelchair waiting for me, hahaha! That didn't stopped me from laughing my heart's out!

Thank you so much, Windy for always keeping my day bright and lovely! Stay healthy and diabetes-free always!

To Buy or Not to Buy

My Prince got a new set of home theater seating a couple of months back. I had a glimpse of it when my Prince took some photos for me to see. Mummy Carol loved it so much! They got it at a very affordable price. This made me think of buying a new one for our own home. But then, I have only bought ours in 2006 and I think it is very impractical for us to spend on things like that. As long as it serves the purpose, we will have to make do with our own set at home.
