Wrong Impression.

When I was younger and basically a newbie in the workforce, I would usually avoid agents who offer term life insurance quotes thinking that I was way too young to get offered.  Until one day, I was explained the benefits of having a life insurance. I then, realized that an insurance shouldn't be taken as a burden to our pockets. It should be viewed as a sort of means to secure not only your future but that of your loved ones as well preventing them from suffering a financial loss in the event of an untimely death. Life is never permanent and anything may happen. For instances like death, terminal, critical illnesses and permanent disabilities, the benefits endowed are truly life savers.

No Way.

One night a few weeks back, the husband told me that he plans to buy a scooter when we’re already settled in our new home in Batasan.  The village is a few meters away from the main road and according to him, it’s more practical if he just rides a scooter for short range errands like when he needs to go to the nearby wet market or the supermarket.  Honestly, I don’t buy his idea and I strongly object.  It’s not about the purchase expense but I’m just worried and tensed about all these road accidents being shown in the news these days involving motorcycles.  Most of them were fatal.  Call me OA or too pessimistic, but I’m really not just comfortable with the idea.  Aside from that, we don’t have a huge garage space nor a DuraMax Woodbridge Vinyl Storage Shed Kit 02714 to accommodate it's parking.  Further, it’ll be very seldom that he’ll run an errand to the wet market since we’ll be having our market day on a weekly basis and I’ll take charge of that.  He’ll be my driver and since our weekly groceries would be likely in bulk, transporting them home altogether is impossible with a scooter or even a bigger motorcycle. So….it’s definitely a big NO for me.  Period. No ifs and buts.

Missing my Former Colleagues at Convergys.

Seeing these pictures of activities at Convergys remind me a lot of things and precious moments: engaging teambuilding adventures, lunch outs, pantry breaks, understanding although sometimes demanding bosses, endless overtimes, mountain high po finance documents, etc.  It’s been three years since I bid farewell to the corporate world and focused on the motherhood role.  Although I enjoy so much the path I’ve taken from then on, I can’t help but miss these things especially my beloved, wacky colleagues.  I do still get in touch with them once in a while (thanks to Facebook!) but there’s a place in my heart that longs so much for the close friends I’ve left behind.  I do wish to see and catch up with them one of these days.

Water Baby.

I’ve been despising the regular summer afternoons this year primarily because of the formidable and unforgiving heat we’re experiencing.  But if there’s one person who doesn’t want the summer season to go away, that would be my son.  This is the only time we’re allowing him to take a swim for as long as he wants in his mini-pool.  Actually, he is a water loving person so I’m sure even when it gets colder soon, he wouldn’t resist taking a dip in a pool or wouldn’t hesitate to take a bath if you’ll invite him in walk in bathtubs.  I believe his pose in the picture says it all..of how he’s enjoying wading and just dipping in the water.
