Soup Please

I wonder if this is true or where this could be. This was just shared to me. But there was a menu where you’d see they wrote there soap in the menu. At first I did not know what was wrong with the picture. If this is true, seen it and you know where this is then the management should be told about the typo. It might shock their customers you know.

Mulan

The lil boy is watching Mulan on Disney Channel now. I have not seen this Disney animated movie all through out but I have seen parts of it many times. The lil boy seem engrossed in watching it. It kept him away from the kitchen where I am sterilizing his bottles. I hope it will keep him still for awhile until I’m done. Now gotta go back to the kitchen while the lil boy continues to watch Mulan.

Golden Dream

Having a simple life should not stop us from dreaming right? There are times that I would think of having what I call the golden dream. It is that dream to be able to save enough money which will allow us to invest in gold. You can always consider safeguarding the money you have saved when buy gold bullion or gold coins. You can protect you money and investment by investing in such as it is much more stable and becomes more valuable as time goes by. It is what financial experts say the safest way that one will be able to protect the  wealth of one’s family. For those living a simple life like me, let’s continue to reach that golden dream and maybe one day, we can make such a precious investment like that.

Silence

There was silence this afternoon as we were having our turn in the daily rotating two-hour brownout until I heard noise coming above. It was pounding of a hammer. I would like to enjoy the quiet afternoon and take a nap while the power was out and while the lil boy is sleeping. But I guess we have to deal with the noise but the pounding hammer just won’t let me sleep. The lil boy woke up earlier than usual but at least it has stopped now. There is now more silence…

Printer Hunting

I’m taking a break from a busy day and remembered a friend asked for help in hunting online for a good epson receipt printer for their company store. My friend’s company store is choosing among the thermal receipt printer or impact receipt printer. I’ve seen the ones she needs at POSMicro.

A good thermal receipt printer provides a quiet, speedy performance at the point of sale. I have seen this being used by many malls and local stores in here and it is of used to print copies of your credit cards transactions. While most of the stores’ receipt here are often printed with impact dot matrix which I appreciate because the print does not fade as easily as the ones printed on thermal paper by those thermal receipt printers. But there are some that does not fade easily so they may have been printed on good thermal paper or by a goor thermal receipt printer.

It is hard sometimes coz for meticulous consumers, one need to to have those receipts photocopied if you want a copy for record or your own file purpose. Anyway, I think my friend’s company need the thermal type.

This Two-Hour Rotational Brownout

Is it inconvenient? For a mom who has a three year old lil guy in the house, it can be somehow especially when it gets hot and you have to constantly and manually fan the lil one so he won’t sweat so much. For today, we are now experiencing it and waiting for one hour more to go.

I just thought awhile ago, that to make it easy for me, I’ll just think this is our version of Earth Hour happening everyday two one-hours in a row. Earth Hour is only for an hour. This brownout is for two hours now since the late afternoon Thursday announcement from the local electric company. Let’s think we are doing this for mother earth. Actually we can do more. Save energy consumption every day though we cannot do away with that with the A/C for the lil boy and it is summer already and has become so hot lately. Hubby would say we have to make it comfortable for the lil guy in the house.

Don’t forget friends the real Earth Hour 2010 event on March 27, 2010 Saturday from 8:30PM to 9:30PM. Switch off your lights for one hour for mother earth… for the Earth Hour. Your little contribution is significant. If everyone in the country participate sin this, it will still make a significant difference. If you could do it everyday, why not? There need not be an event for us to do something for mother nature.

Book Hunting

A few days ago my sis texted me was asking me if I have seen the movie Dear John. No I have not except for the movie trailer on TV and that prompted me to go on a book hunting for a copy of the book Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. But it was no longer available in the local store NBS so I thought I might find a copy of it among the Amazon books. While book hunting online as some are on 50% bestsellers every day, I suddenly remembered something.

I have to add that I wanted to buy a copy of the book “Julie & Julia” by Julie Powell whose movie version I have seen recently and I liked this movie because it is about blogging and cooking which I love and would love to learn, respectively. The book is only about $1.99 online.

Yes I am buying books again coz I need to go back to reading. It has been my passion since early grade school thanks to those book report requirements way back then that I have come to love reading books. I wanna feed my mind too. It has been “hungry” for a few years now since I have neglected reading since I started working and started my own family.
