Gold!

Michelle Angelie — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 12:55:28 +0000

In fire gold is tested. One way to make your gold pure is to put it in furnace and let it melt. You get the alloys out and there, you’ll have pure gold. How much is the price of gold ? It’s pretty expensive because you need a lot of hard work to be able to spot gold . You can’t just get it anywhere. Gold spot is so hard to find. No wonder gold prices are very expensive. And that goes the same with any treasure. You need to spot it and purify it in the fiery furnace to be able to take out its impurities. It would take a lot of patience and hard work to get hold of that treasure. Gold price may vary. And so does every treasure we have. It depends on how much we invested on it. How long we found it and how pure it is. I may be referring to a real gold here. But this can also be a metaphor. May it be a real gold or may it be a person. The same principle applies. So if you have that gold in your hand right now, treasure it. It’s priceless. Unless you got it by accident and it just fell from heaven. Remember, it’s not worth anything if you did not invest any pain into it.

Generosity

Give and it shall come back to you. I always believe in that. I know of somebody that could be a living testimony of this principle. Because of the couple’s generosity, what used to be a simple home has now become an awe inspiring house that is still by the way open to friends not because they wanted to show off their Quoizel lighting but because they accommodate us everytime we have a band practice for church. And that includes a sumptuouse meal everytime. Thanks to you.

Vanity

Vanity! There is nothing bad with being vain as long as you can afford it. I am not saying that it’s also good either. If being vain for you means taking good of yourself and feeling good about your self, then it’s simply not bad. Getting a blue light therapy is not vanity as I see it. I don’t see anything wrong about this. Vanity gets wrong if pride and self conceit is already involved in it. So if you are vain, might as well have a self-check and see if your vanity is good or bad.

Hawaiian Dream

Michelle Angelie — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 11:36:27 +0000

Every summer, I always bring my kids to the beach. I love the breeze and the smell of the sea. Most of all I love the food that we bring and prepare. I have been to every kind of beaches already. Since I was a child it has always been a tradition in our family to always go to the beach every summer. But there is one place that I have dreamt of going. One day, I will go to Hawaii. I found out online that I can find a great Hawaiian cheap vacation rental. There are rentals starting from as low as $75. I wanted to spend a whole summer in Hawaii. Hawaii’s natural beauty, warm tropical climate, inviting waters and waves makes me want to be there even more. I wanted to try sailing, or watch surfers’ play with the ride the waves. I would not dare try that sport though. I know this is just one of my fancy dreams. But I could not help it. I just love the beach and Hawaii has some of the best beaches in the world. Can’t wait for the day when I can finally step into the sandy beaches of Hawaii.

Good Memories

Michelle Angelie — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 10:42:33 +0000

I know that it’s still too early, but as early as now, I am now thinking of what to buy my grandmother this May. This second week of May will be mother’s day. Because my grandmother got a stroke a couple of years ago, she could barely walk right now. It always breaks my heart every time I see her trying to walk from one corner of her room to the other and how hard it looked. I’m thinking of stairlifts maryland so she can go up and down the stairs with ease. Each time I visit her, I see her face lift up and I know that she is happy when I am around. And I also see how much she wanted to go down stairs and spend time with my kids and some of her great grandchildren. But she could not just do that every time she wants to because of her condition. I hope when she gets that stair lift, she can enjoy those moments she longs for every now and then. I love my grandma and I know that sooner or later she has to leave. And the least that I can do for her is to make her last days with us a beautiful one and leave good memories when she will go.

Anniversary Gift

Michelle Angelie — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 06:22:41 +0000

This coming July, my husband and I will be celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary. Though it’s still early, I am already thinking of a gift that I would give my husband on that day. I need to plan ahead because I need to save for it as well. I am thinking of buying him a Casio G Shock watch. He wanted to buy himself one for quite sometime already. He always stops by the watch section every time we go to the mall. I know that he is dying to own one already. He would really be surprise if I get him one this coming July as my wedding anniversary gift for him.

Diversity

Michelle Angelie — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 11:26:34 +0000

I am not a domestic person. I hate to admit it, but I could not be left alone at home. I do not know how to cook, I am not a clean maniac and I it may be shameful to admitl, but I am a couch potato at times. If I don’t write, I watch movies and or sleep. See, I told you. I could not be left home alone. I could not even cook my own food for goodness sake. Okay, let’s stop pushing me down to the floor and spare me the humiliation. There are things that I am also good at. See, I’m not totally useless. I am proud to say that I am technical. If your PC gets busted, you can call me and I can fix it for you. If you got a broken furniture, I can get it back together. Yes, I do minor electric repairs, (just those easy connect the wire thing…), pc troubleshooting (mostly software problems…) and some minor hammering and sawing. I though I was born a man…So if you want to give me something for Christmas, give me a circular saw blades instead of a brand new cooking pot set. Now that’s what I call diversity baby…

Childhood Memories

Michelle Angelie — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 11:13:54 +0000

As I was checking online, I came across a picture of a beautiful living room. I started to miss the living room I grew up with which is at my “Granny’s house”. One thing that is still fresh in my memory right now is the beautiful decorated Venetian blinds in the window. I wanted to have one now. One, it’s beautiful and classic. Two, it keeps my childhood memories alive.

Do I really need it?

Michelle Angelie — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 08:10:47 +0000

I saw a convertible yellow Volkswagen passed by me as I was waiting for a taxi. It amazed me at how beautiful the car was and most especially it was a woman driving it. I really admire a girl who knows how to drive I am not ashamed to admit that I do not know how to drive. In fact I really do not know about cars at all. I do not even know what a volkswagen turbocharger is. But that does not matter now. I wanted to learn how to drive first and learn those things when the need arrives. First thing is first. How can I learn those things if I don’t even know how to start a car? Funny but I have a feeling that I need to practice now even if I don’t own a car yet. It would take a lot of time before I can master the art of driving. Is it really a good idea to start learning now? Or do I have to wait when I finally get to buy a car for myself? Question is when will it happen? Am I getting paranoid? Or do I really need a car very badly that is why I am saying all this?

Never an End to Learning

Michelle Angelie — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:52:23 +0000

Staying at home ca also be educational. Because the kid are off to school so I have nothing left to do but surf online. That’s what I have been doing for 3 straight days already. There are a lot of things that I discovered and learned. There are new terms, now technology and a lot more new things. One new interesting thing I learned today is about credit cards for those who like to travel. There is a credit card that s sponsored by airlines. So if you like to fly, then you can have this airline credit card. If you want airline credit cards article, so you can learn more bout it, then you just have to Google, Bing, and Yahoo search it. It is always fun to learn something new each day. There is never an end to learning. Learning is not just for kids I realized. For my 3 days off from work, I really learned a lot. Some scary, some amazing, some lovely and some gross. It’s never too late to learn, and I don’t consider my self a square for not being able to know these things until now.
