Love Your Job

Posted on February 27, 2009 by greenbucks| 2 Comments

With the global economy slowing down, people do not choose what kind of work they have anymore. This is so true especially to those living in the third world countries like ours.

While it is also true that some people are choosy with the kind of employment they have, others make do and are thankful that they have work that pays even if the pay is meager, even if it means being away from their families. Sigh.

Others find work beyond their qualifications while they weigh their options. Nothing wrong here.

Ash Wednesday Introspection

Posted on February 23, 2009 by greenbucks| 7 Comments

On Wednesday, February 25, 2009, the Roman Catholic Church community will be celebrating its Ash Wednesday.

For those who were baptized in this faith, whether they are devout Catholics or not, some look forward to this day not just to have ashes on their foreheads but as a starting point in the celebration of Lent, which is the commemoration of the passion and death of Jesus Christ.

The Weekly Question will focus on this church celebration:

Ash Wednesday means repentance but I will not ask you to list down the things that you feel you have to ask forgiveness for.

If you were asked to recall the things that you do, what were the things that you think should be improved and worked on for you to be a better person?

My answer:

Cleaning Up

Posted on February 22, 2009 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Cleaning up is not a house chore that I look forward to. Sure, I could do that but I would rather do other things like cook, blog, homeschool, read a book, watch DVD, and sleep till noon.

At times I wish to be a SAHM so I can do the chores that need to be done.

It is just perfect that am able to bring our laundry to Lynn‘s shop and that chore alone has removed a big burden on my shoulders. Even backyard gardening seemed easy with Manang Salve around when I need her.

Back to cleaning up. What are some of the things we need, I mean I need to clean up?

What is Your Favorite Romantic Movie?

Posted on February 9, 2009 by greenbucks| 12 Comments

With Valentine’s Day just a few days away, almost everyone is talking about love, love and love.

We see red and pink decorations in the malls. There are many items on sale (as if one can hear “Buy Me! Buy Me!”) that are geared towards this day of hearts like personal items, concert tickets, pillar candles to add romance on the dining table, and even edible underpants 😀

I have decided to ask this question to prep us up for the coming Hearts Day:

What are your favorite romantic movies of all time?

My answer:

Consideration to Others

Posted on February 2, 2009 by greenbucks| 10 Comments

Consideration to others for me is about courtesy.

It does not entail people to bow their heads in reverence to other people, not its not that.

Consideration encompasses not just respecting the opinions of other people, recognizing their personal space and doing things not just for your own benefit but for the benefit of others too. It shows in courtesy, knowing that there are other people besides yourself.

One of the things I don’t like to see are people who show (intentionally or unintentionally) actions that clearly do not show the proper decorum, especially when they are in public.

Take a look at this photo I took last week while I was waiting for my to-go order from a popular local food chain:

So the weekly question will focus on this photo:

What would you do if you see this in a restaurant?
