isn't he cute when he yawns? :)

 

It's another blessed Monday! Whew! Time flew so fast indeed... This Friday, by God's grace, my baby will be now two months old. I am not totally well yet but I am slowly recovering from this terrible cough. As usual, I don't have enough sleep because my baby's sleeping pattern compelled me to stay awake til 1PM. 

Another week to conquer, another challenges to overcome. It is through God's grace that we were able to get through our daily needs. It's been three Sundays already that we were not able to go to church. My hubby took a short term course in Electronics, unfortunately it falls on Sunday. His instructor is still trying to squeezed his availability for Saturday. I find it difficult to got to church alone with my baby because he is quite heavy already plus I need to bring along with me all baby stuff. Well, hopefully God will understand, after all it's not the attendance that really matters, it's the heart.

On the 26th, we will have an appointment with my baby's pediatrician. He will have his first shot of  Haemophilus Influenzae Type b HiB Vaccine which will cost us P 1,500.00 per shot or roughly 37 USD. I am still hopefully waiting for a big break... I mean, financial breakthrough. My income in article writing really helps me. As of now, I am still waiting for more opportunities. I am also accepting ghost writing from my co-bloggers because they can pay me immediately. I also enjoyed writing and it somehow help me in developing my writing skills (hitting two birds in one shot- earning and learning). I am beginning to love the life that I have right now. I try not to focus on the difficulties, rather, I try to be more positive in every challenges that we encounter everyday. It is not that easy, but by God's strength, which I always ask for everyday, I become stronger. My hubby was also very supportive though we have misunderstanding sometimes but at the end of the day, we have still each other, helping together to overcome it all. My baby is also a real blessing to us. I really love him so much. I feel complete as a woman simply because I already have him.  

Don't get me wrong... I didn't miss being pregnant (not yet for now)... Just love to share this with you... :)

There’s no question about it, we live in a complicated world. Financial, corporate and legal structures are increasingly complex, and dealing with these issues can be daunting. Due to this, there are times when it’s smart to seek out professional help in dealing with serious legal issues, whether it involves personal disputes, marital or child custody problems, or serious problems in the workplace.

The best lawyers, however, whether a New York personal injury lawyer or a California-based family law practitioner, will tell you that the key to handling legal issues is to stay calm, level-headed, and well-informed. Let’s take a look at some advice for handling legal problems, whether personal or business-related, in a way that ensures a good outcome. Here are the top five tips for handling your legal issues, safely and sanely.

Stay Unemotional

This may sound simple enough, but it’s a key aspect of handling potentially loaded legal problems effectively. Legal conflicts can spiral out of control if emotions are not kept in check. When involved in a serious legal situation, seek sound help and counsel from a therapist if needed. Keeping emotions under control can save time, money and help to avoid conflicts during a legal situation.

Stay Open to Compromise

A willingness to compromise and find a “third way” of resolution can work wonders and can smooth out potential conflicts before they become too expensive and irresolvable. An attitude of “my way or the highway” is not a winning attitude. When in doubt, always compromise.

Research on the Situation

Do as much study and research in advance as possible before a case goes to court. A well-informed client is an asset to a case.

Seek Good Counsel

The practice of law is complex, with laws changing constantly. Though it is indeed important to do research and be as well-informed as possible about the issues at hand, it’s also critical to have sound legal advice from a knowledgeable professional. Get a good lawyer whose advice can be trusted, and listen to their counsel.

Take the High Ground

Some legal issues, especially those involving workplace conflicts and marital and divorce issues, can become highly charged. Unfortunately, the price for becoming adversarial in these situations is high. If matters become emotionally charged, step back, take a few deep breaths, and seek counsel. Though it may be tempting to take an adversarial stance against a legal foe, the outcome is rarely worth the price.

Taking legal action is a potentially stressful endeavor. Staying calm and well-informed, and seeking good counsel is the key to successfully navigating a tricky legal situation most of the time.

Here I am again with my simple thoughts from my almost empty mind... I am supposed to have my class tonight but I'm not feeling well so I just let them submit their project for checking. Being a teacher is not an easy task especially if you have those now-you-see, now-you- don't type of students. If I have to be strict, there'll be more than five students who will really get a failing marks on my subject. Good thing others opt to drop this subject while others just simply disappear. 

 Well, another headache to overcome, I am totally unwell while writing this article. I've got a runny nose (I wonder how did this phrase "runny nose" become an adjective or shall I say noun in referring to almost unmanageable colds) Anyway, so much for that, I really have a hard time understanding all the rules in English language-but this is not my point of focus tonight.

A lot of not-so-good-things really happened nowadays. The news of killing, kidnapping. vehicular accidents, suicidal issues seems so normal occurrences that it does not bother the whole society anymore (except for those who are directly affected). The impeachment trial for Chief Justice Corona are still on process. As for me, this case becomes too personal that it becomes so clear through the media. Natural calamities also try to steal the focus. Indeed, my dear Philippines are bombarded with so many issues...

Locally, I am also getting sick and tired with all those bickering among politicians who are all aiming to seek local position on the next year's election. if you will listen daily to the radio, you can really tell if the said radio station are in favor with the current Administration or not. Anyway, they claim to be impartial with their opinions and they favored no one. but it was their claims (though you can really weigh it the way they deliver their issues).

So many issues to tackle upon but there's one question that I would like to seek for an answer... For how long will the evacuees  of the Typhoon Sendong who stayed on some public schools, churches and covered courts remain on their situation? For how long will they rely on the support of the government and other concerned citizen? The situation at the Tent City isn't really that good per hearsay... Well, obviously, when the rain falls, the place where Tent City was located is a great mistake. 

So many things  that really caught my attention. But honestly, all these will just suddenly creep into my mind while I am alone or when I am on the public utility vehicle (jeepney) patiently waiting for the driver to finally take the wheel when the vehicle was already filled with passengers. Mind you, the  traffic also makes my mind wander. While going into my destination, there I can see the roads being renovated with that sign SLOW DOWN, MEN WORKING AHEAD which will take for some months or worst years to finish! (That is why the word DOWN was greatly emphasized! LOL)

But all those thoughts and observations will completely vanish on my mind when I am already home. You know why? Because all I could think of was my baby, whom I know is waiting to be cuddled in my arms. My precious baby who became the reason why I work harder to supply all his needs...  That is why I am working hard as well on blogging to have an additional income :)

However, I won't be able to stay near to him tonight because I have colds and I don't want him to get that virus from me T_T

 

It was only last year that I started downloading and using Google Chrome Browser.Since then, it is now my preferred browser. There are reasons why i love Google Chrome, allow me to share it with you:

1. it is user friendly. 
2. It allows you to log-on immediately without necessarily typing the URL with its Most Visited Sites feature.
3. You can choose a theme that will enhance the background while browsing or using the internet.
4. It is more organized with the absence of those unnecessary buttons.
5. It is fast.

Well, that's all I can say. If you would like to switch to Google Chrome, download it here.
