Home Renovation

Posted on 21st May 2008 by admin in Business, General

My wife and I have decided to put a little more life in our old house. So we come up with the idea of home renovation. We want our simple house to stand out and be a cut among the rest. We want a technology home automation company. We have come up with a glass and metal house.

It will surely be a head turner and an eye catcher among passerby. We will also have a voice activated security system. The renovation will start by the end of the month and hopefully the targeted time of completion will be before the year ends. The blueprint was approved and the plan is good to go. My wife and I were both excited for the outcome of our new house. The company assisting us is very good and has a very brilliant idea. Sometimes I was thinking why we haven’t done it before hand.

Facade

I have been making customized greetings card for different shops around the metro. I usually get inspiration from simple things like the Logo Design of different companies and advertisements. I also make Business Card Design for a printing company. My most recent project is Packaging Design for a toy company. Sometimes I just go out, look at the surroundings and there, floods of design for my work will flow naturally.

Alone

I have known a man who plays blackjack very well. He have won more money than he can spend. He was a master, a hustler, a genius in the game. He plays with jest and remarkable concentration. He makes winning look like a thing of the past. A walk in the park. Every body likes him, everybody wants to be his friend, some even envy him. He has a golden hand, transforming a plain card into a winning bet. blackjack was made for him. And he simply enjoys winning. That was his side known to many but no body knows what happens when he gets home after a game.Every body thinks a loving wife will greet him at the door, his children will play along as he tells them stories, they will all be happy having dinner together. But they were all wrong.

When he returns home, he will open the lights and there would be an empty house waiting for him. No noise, no hot pot, no litter, no pet, no family only him and him alone. He was in his prime of his career when his wife walked away from him. He needed to have money to provide for his family but she needed attention and time. He was the best provider but he never had time to talk and listen to his family. He was busy making money and winning, he didn’t realize he was deeply missed by his family. Now he try to catch some sleep by playing backgammon alone.

Astigmatism

Posted on 16th May 2008 by admin in Business, General

I have been wearing glasses since I was in high school. But when I graduated from college, I’ve decided to give up my glasses and wear contacts. I have had astigmatism or objects are blurred at any distance that was why I was dependent on glasses, without them I would be literally blind. But having contacts I’ve found out has quite some disadvantages. Never leave them in your eyes while you sleep, they may cause permanent damage. One time during our client presentation, I accidentally scratched my eyes and my contacts fell off. It took about ten minutes before I was able to continue my presentation. My momentum was gone though we still closed the deal, I wasn’t very satisfied with my performance and the embarassment I have gone through was degrading on my part. So I have decided to consult my opthalmologist and have a laser surgery. I have heard about it but I have a vague idea how it works. So I had schedule a consultation with my opthalmologist regarding my plan. On the day of my scheduled meeting, I was early though a little anxious on what my doctor has to say. He told me that he needed to run some test to know if the refractive surgery is for me. After doing some test and tracing some risk factors that may affect the outcome of my surgery, he declared that I can undergo the treatment.

I have recently visited the web site of the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s which offers the member who perform LASIK and ophthalmologists my is permitted to perform lasik treatment. I am confident I have chosen the right surgeon for a sensitive operation. He explained to me how the procedure will commence. According to him, LASIK is a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye. A knife called a microkeratome is used to cut a hinged flap in the cornea. The flap is folded back revealing the stroma, the middle section of the cornea. Pulses from a computer-controlled excimer laser vaporize a portion of the stroma and the flap is replaced. The laser procedures can help correct refractive errors, or problems caused by an imperfect shaped eyeball or cornea.
The surgery was scheduled first week next month and according to my surgeon, chances are very good that I will do well.

Birth Stone

Posted on 14th May 2008 by admin in Accessory, General

My birth stone is opal and I find the gem nice looking and it’s iridescence fascinating. And since I learned it was my birth stone, it had become my favorite amorphous mineral color and accessory as well. I specifically favor the Koroit Opal, I have a genuine opal and CZ ring and a magical memories cluster opal ring which I used inter changeably on every occasion. My mother gave me an opal spray ring as a birthday present, she knows how I value the gem now. On our garden, I put a cozy solar opal lily stake, it has a bronze finish and a striking opalescent glass shade, and everytime I go to my room’s terrace,I could see the stake amidst our garden shining enchantingly.

The Daughter

Posted on 13th May 2008 by admin in General

I could never forget a touching story that happened to my family one day. I have a daughter who is on her first year in college . During her high school I could see changes not only in her body, her preferences but also in the manner of clothing. I grew up in the countryside and women are supposed to dress up conservatively to gain respect from men. My daughter is always wearing black. Black skirt, black jeans, black blouses, black shoes and worst black make up. How could any one wear black lipstick with a black blush on. My husband often tells me to let her be what she wants to be as long as she gives us good grades. A compromise was made, she can wear anything she likes as long as she gives us no less than an A. It was a deal. One Monday morning, my husband and I both work in the same company and my daughter’s school is on our way so we drop her off everyday, my husband and I were waiting in the car, I was a little bit annoyed at the loud speaker in her room at the wee hour of the morning. I complained it to my husband but he just told me to let her be. After almost half an hour she stepped out and she looked every bit a voodoo doll. All black from head to toe and smear of black make up all over her face. I didn’t able to control my temper, I scolded her and told her she should act her age.

She remained silent, back in my mind I know I was bypassing an agreement, that I should let her be as long as she gives us an A. I wanted to apologized but I stayed quiet. My husband parked in front of the school and my child slowly stepped out of the car. I remained motionless. When my husband was about to drive the car away, our daughter came to the passenger side and gave me two envelopes. And she smiled as she walked away. In the first envelope were class cards, all A+ and in the second envelope was a black card with white encrypting that says,” I love you Mom and Dad, more than anything in this world.”

Iron Butterfly

They say a woman with a one or two diamond rings means that she is engaged and her boyfriend bought her that very expensive ring. But not all women with sparkling diamonds are engaged. True that most engagement rings are studded with diamonds but in my case, I bought a diamond ring as a gift for being a tough woman I have become. Therefore, I don’t need a boyfriend to buy me an expensive stone, I can afford it myself.

Difference

Posted on 13th May 2008 by admin in General

One weekend, I was doing a blog about web design when my cousin came over my place. I didn’t know that he was a web designer and he has been designing blog as well. When we were kids we have different preferences on almost every thing. We have different taste in food, I like those with soup, he liked fried foods. I feel comfortable wearing earth colored clothes like black, brown, beige, charcoal and white, meanwhile he liked experimenting with different pastel colors. We also have different sports, I was into basketball, he sits down and do the chess. But despite the difference, we enjoyed each company very much that we went through in college together. We took up the same course in computer, that’s what we wanted to do for a living. We both love computers, I spend hours surfing and he also do the same chatting and designing his own site.

He actually developed and designed my websites and I did a design blog showcasing his craftsmanship. Most of the time we work together, he designs my sites while I advertise his work through my blogs. I used to think were inseparable, amidst our personal differences it didn’t pose a conflict on us moreover, I think we are both fascinated by each others interests.
