We don’t know when accident will happen, so most of us protect ourselves by getting an insurance or pre need plans. However, with the status of our economy, a lot of companies has been shutting down and it affected the insurance companies as well.

Lately, I have seen on news that a lot of people are suffering because the pre need company they availed could not give them what has been promised. So what is the remedy for this, get a lawyer like those of Seattle injury lawyer. They will see to it you will get what you desserve.

I remembered that one time when I was driving home, I saw a guy on a motorcycle who was driving fast then he run over a dog. Obviously, he fell from his motorcycle and have scratches all over his body.

You know what I did?

I stopped on the side of the road and shouted:

“Are you okay?”

I know …  Right – Super stupid of me to do that. Of course he is not okay!

Well, the guy didn’t answer so I left him there to die hehehe Honestly, he wasn’t that fatal when I left. I am a dog lover, it is his fault that he was driving too fast and “hambog” enough to run over a dog. WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING?

At that point in time, my heart goes to that dog who was crying in pain – but the dog is alive and so was that human being. I won’t be able to recognize him though – I didn’t see his face, he was wearing a helmet (good thing he did, or else he could have died).

Well … there are lots of things way back that when I remember – I could say, I could have done it differently.

As of today, I own 3 lappies. I have once got a hold of a Neo lappy, but it was office owned, so I returned it when I move down to the position where I am now.

So, here are the pics of what I proudly owned.

See the size of those things? It getting smaller. I never thought that I would buy that smallest one because I used to think that it is going to be too small for me, especially the screen. But, it turned out okay. I was actually amazed on how comfortable it is for me to use it.

Nice huh? Silver Toshiba, White MacBook and Black Gigabyte. I am techy, and I am proud of myself for having these awsome gadgets.

My friends and I went to the mall yesterday. We bought some clothes, bags and some things that are bulky. We also dropped by to the bookstore because we like reading books. We have bought a lot of things because the store is on sale. However, carrying those things going home is not a pleasing or good experience.

Good thing that there is an online store with free shipping that could help us with this problem.

Well, most of the times we do fight because of our differences. We just have different personalities, because we grew up in a very different scenario.

My Mom is a second child and my lola died not long after she was born. So, my lolo married the sister of my lola and they have two children. Her second Mom, though blood related, was really not as caring as a Mom should be; of course the second Mom obviously treated her children well or better than she treat the first two children of my lolo. So, that was the history of my Mom.

This is mine: I am an only child, and my parents tried having a child for 6 years before they had me. They adopted my Mom sister’s youngest son. It was not a legal adoption, however my cousin-brother Leo or Tong-Tong as we call him, stayed with my parents since he was just 2 months old. He may have different family name than ours, but surely we treated him better than my second lola treated my Mom.

I was born with a silver spoon and raised up like a princess while my Mom was raised like Cinderella by her stepmother. My Dad just happened to be a prince charming that made my Mom a princess, and now the Queen of our house.

When I was a teenager, I questioned if my Mom really loves me because she doesn’t seem to act like she does. Then I grew up and realized that when I was on my teenage years, I was selfish; All I ever think about is myself and how to enjoy it without thinking of the consequences and others. I guess it is a part of growing up, as we grow old we realized that we are not the only ones that needs to be happy and that we start to care for other people, have an open mind on things and strength to handle all life’s challenges.

In terms of love, my Mom is lucky that she had married her first love. Though, I was not as lucky (is it too early to tell? I am not married yet – so I guess, we’ll see); I could say that I have become a better person and learned what love is better than my Mom.

Often, our personalities would clash because she thinks that she is the only person in this world that knows how to love (yeah right!). I know, that my life now is not what they imagined it would be – but so far, I am happy and satisfied.

OKAY – With those differences we have, I have come to understand how she shows love and that is very different than how I would show it. My Mom is not good in speaking it, nor showing it, but there would come a time that if you would think or see deeper on her actions, you will get the real meaning of it.

Here are some of the situations I could explain:

• She drops me off to school and waited until my class is over and fetch me. This goes since I started going to school until I graduated in high school. If this was me, I would not waste my time sitting around just waiting, but you see – love is patient, so she waited patiently for me. I hate wasting time.
• She would blame me for the wrong things I have done, shout at me and would even bring it to my face repeatedly every time we fight. If this was me, I would only make a person realize his or her mistakes once by explaining it to him or her the moment or after he or she had committed it then the next day is a different one. I hate to repeat myself. However, my Mom just cares enough to remind me or maybe she is just too forgetful that she has forgotten she said those things to me already.

There are a million things that I could tell and show our differences and how I have come to realize the true meaning of her actions, but I could summarize in few words the reasons why I love her.

I love my Mom because even if she hates what I have become, she still loves me and my kids. Even though I am a mother and a professional, she still pampers me like a baby. I love her, because I have come to realize that as a Mother, there is no job in this world that could top how hard it is (because it is an ALL IN ONE job) – especially to be a full time Mom.

To tell you, me going night shift and to be able to spend my time with my daughter during the day time made me realize this things. Sleeping is a good thing, but to sacrifice it to see meaningful moments is worth more than a million treasures.

During my first night, I drank 3 mugs of coffee and everytime I make one, it would be stronger than the one before so that it would have an effect. The morning after, I told my Mom about it and she said, “It’s not good for your health.”

The 2nd night, I took my Mom’s advice – I didn’t drink coffee. I keep on going to the washroom to wash my face whenever I feel sleepy. The morning, I told my Mom and she said, “You will damage your eye.”

The 3rd night, I don’t know what to do to keep me awake – Good thing I found a video that would make me laugh and somehow remove sleepiness. But that won’t last long, so I mixed it with coffee and face wash.

A week after my night duty, I could not drink coffee because my cholesterol level is boosting up and it might be the one causing it. I was having a headache, but still have the energy to work.

I finally have a solution to my problem. A colleague Sarah suggested that I should take a nap during our 1 hour rest period, because it is what she is doing. This has been a good solution, it could keep me up the whole working hours. The nap really helped.

I attended a seminar last week, together with my husband. It was about weight loss pills. My husband and I are both overweight, so we decided to attend the seminar. It was very informative and it helped a lot of people. They had a portion where it is called a weight loss pill reviews. During this, people would say their experiences about weight loss.

I like shopping together with my friends. First we would eat in a restaurant and then go window shopping. During that, I saw a beautiful watch. I am really fascinated of Oakley watches. Without hesitation, I bought one. When my friends saw my watch, they also bought the same. After that we watched a movie.

I had fun with my friends today.

To keep losing weight, I go to a strict diet. My diet is more on eating fruits, vegetables, a little protein and low calorie foods. I also take weight loss pills. I work out daily; like boxing, kick boxing, running and bike riding.

It was really hard when I was overweight, I could not find a dress to fit in. During high school, I joined the cheering squad. I was always the one being put on the base of the pyramid.

My profession is not dangerous. My life is not put into danger everytime I work. Unlike policemen, firemen and those alike. However, I still do need life insurance. For now, I have two that I am currently financing. It could be costly, but it is for safety. I just hope claiming it wouldn’t be hard.

Do you have a life insurance? If no, you should get one.
