A Chronicler's Life

It Came Back Naturally

Posted by Joshua under life in general

When I was about five or six years old, we had a homemade cannon called “bungbung. It was made from different types of scrap metals and a loud bang is produced by mixing calcium carbide plus water. And if you are any near this thing it is either you’ll get deaf because of the loud noise or you’d come flying across the other side because of its strong force. The latter one was what happened to me and even worst. As I was watching the calcium carbide melt inside the cannon, my elder brother Jeff lighted the cannon and “BUNG!” there I go flying and almost fell off the garden stairs with no brows and eyelashes. Good thing that I was startled by the blast that I closed my eyes coz if not I could have been blind forever. Sadly, during that time there are no eyelash growth productsyet so I had to wait for my brows and eyelashes to grow all back naturally.

Twin Blessings

Posted by Joshua under life in general

The twins have finally came home after a week in the hospital. I forgot to mention that my SIL have given birth a month earlier than expected. Thank God that both of my nieces are very healthy and oh so adorably cutie-patooties though they are just 35 weeks. Can’t wait for them to grow a little older so I could start playing with them already. I’ve a million things in mind to teach them. Even as basic as teaching them to brush their teeth while standing on two step stool and the likes. Anyway, since they are just 8 days old, I should start thinking of activities that would suit their age. Maybe I’d ask them to teach me how to play the sleeping game coz that’s all they do now, sleep and drink milk.

Age Gap

Posted by Joshua under life in general

Teens nowadays never fail to amaze me. Gone are the days that they are only seen but not heard. Now they can engage in adult conversations and surprisingly they make sense most of the time. The topics they talk about are getting more complicated and serious already. From the latest technology to politics. From the newest in fashion to exotic food. It i such a fun to listen to them comment, argue and give their views about their object of interest. They can just simply jump from one topic to another without losing ttheir enthusiasm. In fact, my nephew has just given me a lengthy lecture about Halogen Free Solder Paste yesterday with so much gusto. But I guess, I’m really getting old already because this kind of things can put me to sleep in an instant.

The Greatest Tool

Posted by Joshua under life in general

My Grandma is diabetic. She contracted the disease because her Dad had it too. Sometimes you can’t really just be exempted from having the disease if it is in your genes. She started to have lifesyle changes by being more careful with what she eats, exercising daily and monitoring her blood sugar level. Actually, we bought her one of those travel blood glucose monitor. Everything was going well when we learned about actos bladder cancer. It is said that those who took the drug Actos might develop bladder cancer. It is a real scare for us now. We hope and pray the we won’t be needing the services of Watts Guerra Craft LLP to file a case against its company just in case the frightening thing might happen. I know that prayer is our greatest tool right now.

Successful Life

Posted by Joshua under life in general

My youngest nephew will be graduating from kinder March next year. And what better way to show how proud we are of him but by graduation announcements. As early as now, we are already thinking of the best gifts that we could give him. He’s an A list student and teachers would often praise him for being so studious and diligent at an early age. I’m just so happy that he values his studies so much more than anything else. If this attitude shall continue until he graduates from College, I’m sure he’ll be a successful man.

The Reasons Behind

Posted by Joshua under life in general

A very good friend of mine for 19 years and counting is coming home this Christmas with her American husband. And she wanted us to spend the Holidays early with them in Hong Kong. What a treat! As soon as we found out about it, we immediately bought our tickets and contacted our friend there to know if she can accompany and tour us to Hong Kong while waiting for the couple to arrive from Chicago and she instantly said yes. We have our own reasons why we wanted to go even if we are on a tight budget. I, for one have never been to Hong Kong yet and my two best pals just want to have their passports stamped hahaha! And Kevin, the husband of my other best pal Shen who are both based in the US, just wants to buy errr… hoard north face fleece jackets that’s why he’s going! His is the funniest reason ever but mind you he is dead serious about it. We are all so excited!

And the Award Goes To…

Posted by Joshua under life in general

Holiday season is almost here. It would be a time of endless parties for sure. This year, we would like to add another portion in our yearly Christmas party and that is the Mock Awards. It would be so much fun! Actually we are already brainstorming as to what we can give the “awardees” as sort of trophies. We want something unique and of course easy on the pocket as well. I will suggest that instead of giving out trophies, we can give custom lapel pins with their “award” written on it. Like for the Sleeping Beauty (always being caught sleeping in the office) award, we can make the pin into a bed or a pillow. What do you think? Is my idea any good?

Happy For You

Posted by Joshua under life in general

My friend and colleague whom I have been with since time immemorial has decided to finally call it quits. It has been awhile that she’s been planning to leave the mundane corporate world. Until one day she couldn’t take it any longerand started drafting her resignation letter and left. No two weeks notice, no nothing. She said the feeling was so liberating. She set up a mini grocer from the money she got from her separation pay. She’s genuinely happy now because finally she’s doing the thing she loves most. That’s why on my off from work will be buying Epson TM-T88V coz she’ll be needing a really good receipt printer. I’m really happy for her.

Taking Chances

Posted by Joshua under life in general

Just like the song goes, “What do say to takin’ chances?” Don’t you agree that in life, we really have to take chances, as nothing is certain? Some would even say life is gamble, sometimes you’re lucky and sometimes you’re not, as it is with online gambling. Playing on online casinos maybe fun and exhilarating for some who likes to take their chance at the jackpot. You at least have to play the game to win it right? Card games seem complicated, but there are some that are quite simple really, like blackjack. Blackjack is a popular card game, that requires its winner to have a total card sum of 21 or the nearest number to 21. Let say you have a 1o of diamonds, a 10 of hearts and an ace of spades, the total would be 21. If you got a lower number but is near to 21 like 19 and no other player has a number higher than yours, then you’d still win the game. But if you went over 21, say you got 23, your score will be downgraded to 2, computed as 23-21=2, and this would be your actual score. If you’re still confused then this video tutorial might help. Good luck!

Early Job Hunting

Posted by Joshua under life in general

It’s just really so hard to find a job that you can stick to these days. The reason for that maybe because the original course that you took and finished in College has got nothing to do with your present work. I’ve got a lot of nurses, engineers and even artists for colleagues and mind you I work in a call center. My nephew will be graduating this coming March from Architecture but he’s planning to look for Restaurant Cook Jobs because he loves cooking and he heard that it’s what’s in demand now. At least
