Living and Travel

Travel and the  time of your life

 At 25,  you start thinking of having your own family.  Exciting to be young. Dreamland, well it felt that way. The wedding and then just like in the movies the scenes played out right before your eyes,  the  trips back home with babies in your arms.  Blissful  love peppered  time.  But, there were sadness too.  Partner and all, children in tow.  Life punctuated with  christenings, countless birthdays, anniversaries,  and holidays. They all  added up to the glitter of  an already  full professional life. 

There were dozens of dull times too, making choices, praying that joyful times would drown out the noisy part of  both  job and  family.  In between being a daughter, mothering and the better halfing, the professional life seemed to have flourished as well. How could I have all done that? Not without the hard work. The  sleepless nights. Sacrifice looks like paying off. Now, it’s  time to reap the benefit of jobs well done, missions accomplished, and objectives fulfilled. Time to take a break.  Time for yourself.  You need to balance life. Time to indulge in everything that sustains energy.

And so here I am, far from being 25, travel catalogs in hand, glossing over the Caribbean holidays 2012.  Wouldn’t travel be a perfect way to bond?  Where do we go? It would be awesome to bring every single one in the  family.  My partner, the children, together with my grandchildren. How exciting could that be? I can just imagine the sights and sounds of  leisure. The  peace in  communing with the universe.  I can smell the st lucia holidays all inclusive. That should be fun, free and away from the negatives of everyday living. 

My ideal vacation really,  is to soak under the sun, enjoy  the healthy breeze of the sea, eat more and healthy, do my long overdue plan to read again,  and just enjoy the company of loved ones. Now what would be a good vacation plan? Maybe, Barbados holidays. Why not? See you there.

Intelligent car, anyone?

I love intelligent or smart cars . I am sure you would too. 'The original idea behind the very short "smart car" was that the vehicle would be easy to park. It is short enough to allow it to be parked "nose-in" where a conventionally sized car would have to parallel park. Its length of 250 centimetres (98.4 in ) equals the width of a regular parking slot, allowing two or three smarts to park in the same space as one normal car if parked side-on to the usual parking direction'. Smart Car custom LCB (Lindt chocolate Bunny edition.) 'The project idea was originally started by Swiss watch manufacturer Swatch and was nicknamed the "Swatchmobile". The name SMART is an acronym for Swatch Mercedes ART . [1] [2] The car was supposed to use innovative features (such as a hybrid engine ) and to be an affordable car for young people. Similar to the objective for the Citroën 2CV in the 1940s , its purpose was to "transport two people and a...

Living with tropical cyclones

This time it is Juan; it almost totally devastated the province of Isabela and other nearby provinces. At the time I am writing this post there is a danger that it could return because it has remained quasi-stationary in the South China Sea. Rice warehouses, infrastructure, rice plantation in Isabela: everything almost wiped out. God help our country.

Thank God My Employer Took Out a Policy and so Did I

My life totally change when I got ill and was forced to resign from a full-time job. The pay was good but very stressful. I thought, yah, right. Now I can take a break. And what a break it was. My big hospital doctor and my family physician (FP) both discouraged me from leaving my job. Both were worried that since I was quite ill, the more I needed to work. What or who is going to answer my medical bills? If someone depends on you financially, the likelihood is that you need insurance. Whether it is health, life or business insurance it is a financial resource. Having left my regular employee arrangement, I managed to convince my bosses that they continue paying for my health insurance benefit in exchange for part time work. Reduced work load gave me time that I needed to attend to my illness. And it took a year before I completed all the necessary tests to give a conclusive medical prognosis. Thanks to my health care insurance I didn’t have to worry about payin...
