Transport Strike

THEsimplemom — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 17:21:46 +0000

There will be a nationwide transport strike today but only for one group of drivers.

The school of the little boy has texted us before evening of yesterday informing us that there will still be classes today since most of the students are being conducted privately to and from school. It is no worry for us on that aspect. I am honestly glad that they have school so I can work on my tasks and chores while he is at school.

Well I pray as we always do for a peaceful transport strike. I hope my sisters will be able to go to work safely today without any hassle and difficulty.

God bless everyone!

School Year Moved from June to September

THEsimplemom — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 10:28:47 +0000

The proposal for the school year to be moved from June to September has been revived once again. From what I heard it has been revived every year at this time around. If ever it will be moved, it is like following the school year followed by the school in the US and other countries. The main reason for this is due to the weather condition during the usually start of the rainy season late May or early June just in time when school starts in the country.

A Palace spokesperson said that they will be willing to listen to this proposal if there are other reasons aside from the weather or June being a rainy season. While according to Education Secretary Armin Luistro, they need to study a lot of the effects on this proposal if ever it will be implemented here in our country.

For me, I am fine with the school year that we have now. The weather is still unpredictable and has been becoming more unpredictable as the years go by.

Porsche

Just crossed my mind! Our leader bought a 2007 Porsche, a second hand sports car reportedly and is now being evaluated by the people. We should just be happy for him. Let him enjoy once in awhile what he has worked hard for. I don’t want to use the word criticize because if he did use his own hard earned money then it’s his right and he deserves it. Though I cannot help but notice this might be the first time that I heard of a head of a state to have purchased a sports car and being placed in the headlines for doing so. Forgive me if I did not recall any other official who had done so before if ever.

More Rain

We need more rain especially for those areas really affected by the El Nino phenomenon and for us here in our region where we continue to experience rotating brownouts for two hours each day because of much reduced generation capacity of the hydro electric plants in Lake Lanao resulting to load curtailment to the power supply here in the city. If the water level in that lake will become normal again then most probably these brownouts will stop. So we pray for more rain and that the water level be normalize again. Some places and provinces have done cloud seeding so that it’ll rain. in other parts of the country, farms have become so dry and plant produce have been greatly affected. This is the time when we say let there be enough but not too much rain! Let it rain, let it rain!

Change Channel

I suddenly have too much of the news in our region. It has become too much to take and too violent if I may say so that I have decided not to finish watching and listening to the late night national news. Instead I went to lifestyle network and found myself listening (not watching since I am multi-tasking at this late hour at night) to a show about making wine glass and about wine and champagne. I never drink nor this is something I’m really interested in but it seems better to listen to this now than what’s in the news headline which I hope though would be given the right justice especially for the victims and the families they left behind.

Listening to the News

THEsimplemom — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 11:29:46 +0000

I am listening to the news while doing some pending house chores, while waiting for my lil boy to wake up and updating this and other sites which needs to be updated. Listening and not watching coz I have the TV almost at my back and my neck began to feel still as I try to look at the TV so I told myself I can just listen instead of watch the news on TV. Kind of a waste of electricity but have no choice since we have no radio here at home. Maybe I can borrow my dad’s radio. Yeah!

Blogging Frenzy

THEsimplemom — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 06:35:34 +0000

Most of my friends are on a blogging frenzy. I want to also update my other homes. I want to blog about a lot of things so I can keep myself updated with what’s going on in the news, sports, showbiz. I saw on Youtube that American Idol 2009 Winner Kris Allen sang the National Anthem at NBA Finals Lakers vs. Magic Game 2 (Video) plus there is also that sports news which I missed last night where a must have been crazy Spanish guy attacked Roger Federer at the French Open Final against Swede Soderling (video).

My homes are my memoirs too of what has happened on a day in my life, in the world so when I look back to it one day, I could reminisce too what happened those days whether good or not so good. Well I have to keep up with my blogging friends busy blogging now. But then there is always that fun chatting and tweeting with friends in between.
