In this day and time, a lot of people would be financially challenged to cope with enrollement fees, June weddings, and all other bills to pay. My father uses his personal checks when paying for recurring bills, so it gives him better financial management. I think most people these days use Cheap Personal Checks or even Business Checks to go about anything and everything.. Saves time and hassle free too. I think checks are safer than using credit cards, but as a precaution, one need to have enough funds because if the check bounces, that would mean that the one who owns the check will be charged with Estafa. That would surely be very embarrassing. Debit cards are good too, but then, at times, the card itself will have technical problems even though enough funds are in it.. Carrying cash these days prove to be unsafe and unwise as the prevalent crimes have risen so high that every day you hear someone being mugged or robbed even in broad daylight.. Surely, we do not want to be in that awful situation, where we get hurt and lose our money at the same time.. So as a precautionary measure, it is, in my opinion, better to transact using check, personal checks or business checks..

These are my favorite desserts at Ranch and Reef.. Although there were many of them at the dessert bar, these four made me go back for more..

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

My sister’s graduation is finally this weekend. She and her classmates are excited, but my sister says a part of her is not. Maybe it is because she is already a graduate many times over, being that this is her second course. But one thing is sure. It is NOT a graduation to wearing thigh high compression stockings as she has been wearing them forever. It is actually a protective clothing for her. So whether she will work as a nurse or as a teacher, it will be this kind of stockings for her… But of course, wearing heeled shoes can be so tasking and tiresome. With stockings like that, it sure will ease the burden and the price for feeling beautiful in heels…hehehe

Besides, in extreme whether, it sure will do wonders for the skin and the proper circulation of the blood through the blood vessels is ensured, unlike all other stockings that constricts normal blood flow…
