Daily Schedule

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Yes, I do have a daily schedule (in my mind) for me and my kids. But I would have to say that our schedule for now is not that efficient and productive.
In the mornings, a big chunk of my time is already consume with cooking and doing household chores. And so that I could do [...]

Tools And Forms

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

I’ve mentioned in one of my earlier posts about the book (Get More Done in Less Time) I read a few weeks ago. Incidentally, as I was searching about the author, I found that the forms ( charts, tables, planner) she mentioned in her book can be downloaded in the internet for free.
I’ve just printed [...]

Cooking and the Internet

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

I’ve been cooking quite a lot these days and I’m just so proud of this ‘achievement’. Everyday, I would be searching for new recipes or trying out dishes that I’ve never cooked before. Actually, I would have to thank for the world wide web for such feat.
If you’ve read my earlier posts, you would know [...]

Aircon?

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

The aircon guy is coming tomorrow. He’s going to fix 2 airconditioning units in our house – 1 for the master’s bedroom then the other one for the guestroom. I remember the ‘aircon’ conversation with my Hubby a few years back. You see, I love to be in the airconditioned rooms that’s why it’s always [...]

My ‘Cooking History’

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

I confess, I’ve never been a good cook and cooking hasn’t been my favorite thing to do ever since I was young. You see, I’m the youngest in our family and we grew up with someone to cook for us. My Mom had a full time job and we had a house helper to do [...]

Get More Done In Less Time

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

I’ve finally finished this great book by Donna Otto. It’s a book about home organization and it’s what I really need. After moving in our new house for 5 weeks now, our house isn’t that organized yet. It may look organized from afar but wait till you get inside the guestroom. That room is not [...]

When You Are Low on Hope

When You Are Low on Hope
by Max Lucado
Water. All Noah can see is water. The evening sun sinks into it. The clouds are reflected in it. His boat is surrounded by it. Water. Water to the north. Water to the south. Water to the east. Water to the west. Water.
He sent a raven on a [...]

Friday the 13th?

Friday, November 13th, 2009

There’s a lot of buzz on Friday the 13th today. Well, that is if you’re superstitious and believe all those things. But as for me, I’m not superstitous.
I just happen to know about the ’significance’ of this date after watching one horror film when I was still young. Of course I was afraid at that [...]

God’s Embrace

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another. —Romans 12:10
Soon after her family left for the evening, Carol started to think that her hospital room must be the loneliest place in the world. Nighttime had fallen, her fears about her illness were back, and she felt overwhelming [...]

How Was I To Know?

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. —Ephesians 4:30
It was high-school concert season, and the music students were preparing for the big Christmas extravaganza. The teacher had clearly communicated every detail to the students and to the parents—on two different occasions—and the time for [...]
