Do You Love Your Job?

I have written a post about “loving your job” and in it I also wrote that:

Love your job. Live with the inconveniences that goes with it for who knows, you might even  consider yourself more fortunate than those who have none.

The Weekly Question will focus on this topic about our paying jobs, be these former jobs or current ones.

Do you love your job?

My answer:

Capitol Hills Bluewater Day Spa

We were able to attend the opening/launching of the Capitol Hills (Quezon City) Bluewater Day Spa last Tuesday with bloggers friends Noemi, iMom, Wenchie and Cookie and more

One of the highlights of this event was meeting Piolo Pascual who is one of the endorsers of Bluewater Day Spa. The other endorser is Marian Rivera who was also present during the event. Piolo is charming and articulate, no doubt about it.


When we ambushed him for an interview in one of the rooms at the spa, he advised hardworking people to “love yourself more”. He also said that it is important to relax and rejuvenate especially if one has been working hard. He in fact has full body massage at least once a week, sometimes even he is in a set for shooting.

Calamansi Flower

Napakarami kong larawan ng mga magagandang bulaklak. I have many photos of beautiful flowers.

Pero napili kong ilagay ay bulaklak sa ibaba para sa aking Litratong Pinoy entry. But I chose the photo below as my Litratong Pinoy entry:

Calamansi flower

Simple, puti, maliit. SUbalit sa loob nito ay isang maliit na bunga na magiging source ng maasim at masustansiyang juice na hitik sa bitamina. Simple, white and small but inside is a small sour fruit that would be  a rich source of vitamin c.

Bakit nga ba ito ang pinili ko? Kasi na-excite ako sa mga maliliit na bulaklak ito sa aming maliit na hardin ng mga pu-puwedeng kainin o ilagay sa pagkain pagdating ng araw 😀

View From the Sidewalk

We went biking and walking Sunday morning at a nearby sprawling campus. It was a bit late when we started and I must say the weather is getting a bit warm these days.

The younger children and hubby rode on their bike and I walked.

I got interested in taking a photo of one of the colleges, the one near where we were staying under a shade.  I saw a man with a tripod who was taking photos of the building so I took a photo too 😀

Cleaning Up

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?
