Weekend Snapshot: Shrike

I was looking out of our door and was quite happy to be seeing this bird again, a shrike. They have this "strange" behavior of sticking their food on to sharp sticks/branches; am not sure why, but maybe it's to get back to it when they are hungry. My son have seen some insects and a lizard stuck to a calamansi tree (it's got huge thorns!) here in my sister's garden, and we're guessing that it's the shrike's doing.

No wonder we've been seeing more of this bird lately! :)

Weekend Snapshot

Those days ...

Before I got married the company where I worked for used to send us to conventions and also encouraged us to take Sales Courses. Some of them were conducted far from our office, but we really didn't mind because it was a great opportunity to learn more; and of course, the company was paying for it! :)

Some companies really take good care of their employees and I was pretty lucky to be working in one of those companies who believe that they need to invest in their employees so that their company will prosper. Too bad I had to resign, though, since my health was suffering. I guess I wasn't cut out for the job, but it was really fun while it lasted! :)

Friday's Feast

Appetizer

Who was the last person you hugged?

Hubby, before he left for work. :)

Soup

Share a beauty or grooming trick or tip with us.

To look good inside and out, try being at peace with yourself first. lol. Am not sure if that's even a beauty tip! :D

Salad

What does the color yellow make you think of?

The jackfruit or maybe the durian! lol

Main Course

If you were to make your living as a photographer, what subject would your pictures revolve around?

Nature, definitely. Could be macro shots of insects or some wild animals ...

Dessert

What was the longest book you ever read?

I guess it had to be the complete book of the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis ... it was quite thick and took me days to finish.

Thinking ...

Am really serious about getting myself a dslr soon ... it was the reason why I decided to monetize my blog, after all. :)

However, after I got the amount (actually, more than what I had hoped for!), I (yeah, it was really my decision) decided to "give" some of them away first. I mean, I know that I can raise the same amount again after a few more months anyway. Besides, it really felt great being able to give something to our loved ones, and something that you know that they really appreciate! Not just something that you give because you had to give something. lol. That's the reason, really, why I failed to get the dslr last Christmas (2007).

Anyway, I received an email today about the price of one of the cameras that I am really interested in ... the canon 40D. The price was reasonable enough, and hopefully before the summer starts I will have that piece of "toy" on my hands, soon!

Unless, of course, something makes me change my mind. :D

Need Help with Bad Credit?

Just because you got a bad credit from your other credit card doesn't mean that it's the end of everything, you know. I used to think that there were no credit cards for bad credit, whether online, or not. Really depressing, specially since there was a time when hubby and I were having difficulties paying off our credit card! Good thing a family member helped us out! But I found out that there are now sites online that can help, too.

BadCreditOffers.com is one such site where you can go if you want help with bad credit! Want to know more about them? Then do check them out! :)

Helen Reddy - I Didn't Mean To Love You

Oh.my.... first heard this when I was really quite young. Helen Reddy was already famous by then. A cousin from abroad sent us this cassette tape and the family loved it!

Couldn't find any original video done by Helen Reddy herself (with this song) so opted to post this instead; I liked the way "dokskii" did this video. If you want to sing-along you can do that ... some people really love doing that. Singing-along, I mean. I admit I like doing that, too, but not too much. lol.

Web Development Services

Web Development is something that really interests me. Some web designers are really so good that they receive awards and recognitions for their works; and I believe that they do really deserve those awards! I mean, it's no easy thing to develop a web page! Well, for me, anyway. I've seen some templates (and those were fairly simple ones, I was informed) and they really make my head ache at times just trying to understand them! lol.
If you and your company need web development services, then do try and check out TheNetImpact.com and see how they may be able to help you with your specific needs! If you are a law firm, or want flash design, then they can definitely help! Not only that, being in the business for over ten years, they certainly know what it is they are doing! You can be assured that you will get what you really wanted! :)
