Swan Portraits

Growing up, I met various organizations and individuals who visits our schools and promoted to love the environment and they gave us tips on how to do it. Back then , I do not understand why there are such people who are fanatic about our environment. But things changed as I grow up and learned more things in life. I tried to do things that will not affect or ruin our environment.. and little things could add up to a big one. So simple measure to save environment could have big impact to our environment.

One thing we want to do is to use wood stoves for our heating. An old belief that wood stoves smoke can harm the environment. But because of the new and advance technology, smoke from wood stoves are considered to be more eco-friendly. Therefore, it really depends on the stove that you are using. Most wood stoves do not use non-recyclable fuel like coal or gasoline. And using inexpensive wood are more eco-friendly than fuel. Why not check a wood stove suppliers and find the one that fit your needs and still contributing to save our environment?

I have “I can do it” attitude ever since. I always believe that there is no impossible thing for me. If other people can do it.. I surely can do too! This kind of attitude could be viewed as positive to some or it could be negative. Because of my attitude, I’m willing to learn what other people can do, I’m not afraid to dip my hands and get dirty to learn something new. I even attempt to learn and mimic cad drawings of my architect friend.

That’s how bold and fearless I am in learning new things. Of course one should know their limitations. For me, I cannot work or make my things in medical field. I can research and look at medicines but not in actual profession of doing surgery. Which is illegal to do too if you’re not licensed. Some of things I tried are to be real estate and loan broker, website designer, trade programmer, tax preparer, photographer and more..for myself! lol I’m scared to convey other things I’ve done in my real life. Lol

So I would say that don’t be afraid to tell that you can do it too! If they can do it.. you’re surely can do it too!

I woke up early today to finish my task but I end up browsing photos on my FB and Friendster friends. Lol it’s truly amazing how internet can make us reconnect with old friends, families, and friends of friends. When I got married, I left all the things behind, as in behind my back without regrets. What does it mean? I added my crushes, people that was not even my friends during school days, friends of friends or lover of a friend, that if I’m single and available I will not imagine to add. lol I’m talking about being proud and my pride here. But it’s really true that as we grow old, we mature and we discover more things about our self. Leaving yesterday behind and forgiving what’s on it can truly free you with heavy heart. Realizing that past cannot be brought back again and my present is the important thing that keeping me happy.

I feel like I’m giving a speech in front of many people now.. I feel so old giving advice to young and old that still act like a toddler. Lol I’m imagining myself on speech pill, talking straight and not stuttering with my words. I’m not proud that I’ve been there, I am here, I have that, and etc… What’s making me proud is that I have a husband that I know I’m the only one (right dad?) and two behave and healthy kids at home. I’m happy that my faith with God is always with me.

Leave yesterday behind, be proud of what you have, and keep your faith to God alive.

I don’t buy things that are not on sale. Yes, I’m really cheap! Hahahha And I also discovered the joy of shopping in a dollar store! lol I often bring Lianne there for her toy treat. She can pick 3 toys that she really like and mommy will say yes! Seriously, the stuff there is not that bad.. it depends on what you’re looking for. What do you expect from a dollar anyway? Lol Lately, my friend mention that having pet is not expensive anymore because she can get dog or cat food for a dollar. How I wish I can get cattle supplies for our farm for a dollar too! Am I asking too much? But who knows this could happen too..

One of our friends is putting up a daycare on their home. She actually asked me for preschool furniture that she can use for starting up. She is planning to accept kids for 2 people and the maximum count is 16 kids. Normally, the charge for babysitting a toddler or after school program starts from $25 a day or at least $500 a month.

   If I will give up my office job, this is one of the careers I want to consider. But I like to baby sit babies than toddler. They are much easier and more behave.. lol My friend is expecting to start her operation by next month. She just needs one more inspection for the place. She needs to complete buying furniture for the facilities before the inspection.

My car got rear ended yesterday and this is the second time to be involved on this kind of accident.  I’m off today from work because my son’s appointment and I’m glad that I have enough time to visit a doctor this morning.  I’m supposed to stay home this morning and spend time online to read reviews for top rated diet pills. But I guess I have to put this aside and take care my aching back first before other things.

I’m experiencing pain since last night after I got home from the accident. It’s really bad. I feel like I need to visit a chiropractor too to  look at it. So I will be back again later… for more stories.
