• bank transactions

Well be going to the grocery after office hours since the ref is empty and need to buy some stuffs for food and other household supplies.

Have a great weekend ‘yall…

Here’s my favorite colors and let’s see what it says about me.

Pink: This color embodies the gentler qualities of Red, symbolizing love and affection without passion. Women who prefer Pink tend to be maternal. Pink desires protection, special treatment and a sheltered life. Pink people require affection and like to feel loved and secure, perhaps wanting to appear delicate and fragile. Pink people tend to be charming and gentle, if a trifle indefinite.

Green: The color of harmony and balance, Green symbolizes hope, renewal and peace, and is usually liked by the gentle and sincere. Greens are generally frank, community-minded people, fairly sociable but preferring peace at any price. Green people can be too self-effacing, modest and patient, so they may get exploited by others. They are usually refined, civilized and reputable.

Whether we’re a vibrant Orange, or a peaceful Blue, our color preferences are a key to understanding our personalities. Find out what this color expert has to say about your favorite color. What does it reveal about who you really are?

White: Symbolic of purity, innocence and naivete, white has strong connotations of youth and purity. If you are an older person, your preference for white could indicate a desire for perfection and impossible ideals, maybe an attempt to recapture lost youth and freshness. It may also symbolize a desire for simplicity or the simple life.

Red: The color of strength, health, and vitality, Red is often the color chosen by someone outgoing, aggressive, vigorous and impulsive—or someone who would like to be! It goes with an ambitious nature but those who choose it can be abrupt at times, determined to get all they can out of life, quick to judge people and take sides. Red people are usually optimistic and can’t stand monotony; they are rather restless and not at all introspective, so they may be unaware of their own shortcomings. They find it hard to be objective and may blame others for any mishaps. Quiet people with a preference for red may feel the need for the warmth, strength and life-giving qualities of the color, or they blanket their true feelings under a sober exterior. Red is usually chosen by people with open and uncomplicated natures, with a zest for life.

Maroon: Harsh experience has probably matured the Maroon person into someone likable and generous. It is often a favorite color of someone who has been battered by life but has come through. It indicates a well-disciplined Red personality—one who has had difficult experiences and has not come through unmarked but who has grown and matured in the process.

Orange: This color of luxury and pleasure appeals to the flamboyant and fun-loving person who likes a lively social round. Orange people may be inclined to dramatize a bit, and people notice them, but they are generally good-natured and popular. They can be a little fickle and vacillating, but on the whole they try hard to be agreeable. Orange is the color of youth, strength, fearlessness, curiosity and restlessness.

Yellow: The color of happiness, wisdom and imagination, Yellow is chosen by the mentally adventurous, searching for novelty and self-fulfillment. Yellow usually goes with a sunny and shrewd personality, with a good business head and a strong sense of humor. It is the color of intellectuality and all things to do with the mind. Yellow folks are usually clear and precise thinkers who have a good opinion of their own mental capacities and who have lofty ideals. They may at times tend to shun responsibility, preferring freedom of thought and action.

Blue: Soft, soothing, compassionate and caring, Blue is the color of deliberation and introspection, conservatism and duty. Patient, persevering, conscientious, sensitive and self-controlled, Blues like to be admired for their steady character and wisdom. They are faithful, but are often worriers with somewhat inflexible beliefs and can be too cautious, and suspicious of flamboyant behavior.

Blue-Green: Exacting, discriminating, poised and attractive, the Blue-Green person tends to be sensitive, intellectual and refined, persevering and stable if rather detached. Blue-Greens have excellent taste, and are usually courteous and charming, capable but often refusing help or guidance.

Turquoise: Complex, imaginative and original, Turquoise people drive themselves hard and may be in a state of turmoil under their outwardly cool exterior.

Lavender: This is often chosen by a person who lives “on a higher plane,” who never notices anything sordid and who is always impeccably and beautifully dressed. Lavender people may be on a continual quest for culture and the refined things of life, high and noble causes but without the necessity of getting their hands dirty. A Lavender person is usually creative, charming, witty and civilized.

Purple: Purples are highly individual, fastidious, witty and sensitive, with a strong desire to be unique and different. Temperamental, expansive and artistic, a Purple person may become aloof and sarcastic when misunderstood. If you chose Purple, you tend to be unconventional, tolerant and dignified, likely to achieve positions of authority.

Brown: A Brown person has stamina and patience, tending to be very solid and substantial, conscientious, dependable, steady and conservative. Browns are not impulsive, and may be inarticulate and tactless but they love responsibility and are reliable and kindly. If you chose Brown, watch out for a tendency to be obstinate and inflexible.

Gray: The color of caution and compromise, diligent Grays search for composure and peace and often work hard without reward. Older Grays like life to run on an even keel with few ups and downs. Young Grays may be withdrawing from life and suppressing their personalities. Grays often have good business ability and tend to work too much.

Black: Dignified and impressive without being showy, Black people want to give the appearance of mystery, but their preference may also indicate a suppression of desires and worldly aims, suggesting hidden depths and inner longings.

I noticed yesterday while I was on my way home from the office the increase of motorcycle vehicles on the road, according to a friend whom I asked why he chose motorcycle over car is that it’s more economical to use. True indeed during these trying time, prices of gasoline for cars are way up high rather than those consumed by these motorcycles. Traffic wise, it’s much easier for you to travel since motorcycle can pass through narrow spaces and you can easily make way and beat the traffic. But there are also some negative sides as we heard lots of horror stories from motorcycle accidents that are being reported. But I guess it’s all on being a responsible driver, whatever type of vehicle you use, you need to careful and responsible enough to observe the rules and keep you cool always when driving right?!

The other thing that motorcycle drivers need to beat is the weather while driving on the road. sometimes, it’s the heat that they need to beat, sometimes it’s the wind and at times it the rainy and cold season, during this time they need to take heated motorcycle gloves to keep their hands in condition while driving in a cold weather. You just have to observe some things when buying one, be sure to check on item, make sure it fits you and it’s properly working so you will have a safe travel wearing it.

Since we got this pet fishes two weeks ago, I am kinda clueless as how to take care of them, though we were advised on the basics. I though I have killed them when I once tried to clean up the tank and transfer them on a basin. lol!

So I searched and find this nice guide for the beginners:

Owning an aquarium is a very good hobby and helps both adults and children to understand the intricacies of the water world. This means that just as babies have to be handled with care, so do aquariums if you want a variety of fish to survive in it. Nevertheless, it is not a Herculean task. It just requires a little effort to keep an aquarium that resembles the water life in the river and sea bed. You just have to be careful regarding the fish and the accessories that you choose to put into the aquarium.

1. One way of learning about keeping an aquarium is to go to a zoologist who will let you in on all the ins and outs of what goes into making an aquarium habitable for fish. If you do not have a zoologist near you, fear not! Just go to the local market and buy a good book on keeping fishes in aquariums or search the internet for more information. The shop keepers dealing in aquariums and its accessories will definitely get you started with the basics.
2. One thing that you need to remember is that the size of the aquarium matters. The bigger the size the easier it will be for you to handle and learn the ropes faster. Before buying an aquarium, you need to decide where you are going to place it as filled tanks are heavy and difficult to move. You must measure the area so as to buy the correct size. When selecting the size, go for the shorter but longer ones even though the taller and narrower aquarium may look appealing. Fish are more comfortable when there is more surface area on top. Though there will be acrylic aquariums available in the market, go for the glass one.
3. The next step is to choose the correct type of fish for the aquarium. You must always keep in mind the fact that fish must get acclimatized to new surroundings, so buy a few fish that have a high toleration level. Normally in the excitement of building an aquarium, people tend to put in too many fish, only to find them dead in a few days. This happens because the fish go into shock or contract a disease. So just introduce two to three fish at a time and once the nitrogen cycle is set up, then you may add more. However be careful to exercise moderation as you put in fish into the tank.
4. Along with the fish you will need to purchase gravel to make up the surface, plants for decoration and to regulate the nitrogen cycle, a water heater, a light fixture, a clean bucket to pour water into the aquarium and an aquarium water conditioner. You will encounter the normal teething problems like too much algae or dirty water. In most cases you would have fed the fish too many times. Last but not least, you will need to buy fish food from the local aquarium shop to feed the fish.

During my childhood years, I used to play a lot and my mom would always scold me of not going home in time. She would always fetch me over at a friends house and would often see us just lazing around over at a rope hammock , I think every child loves it to bits and I dreamed of having it on our very own house. Now that we have enough and spacious garden at home, putting up one is never far from reality anymore.All we need to do is planning and setting up and of we go.

We are just tying to figure out on what particular type of hammock we would put up as there are different nice designs and styles that we saw from outdora.com, DH wants something similar to the ones he saw at a beach,  those that are made of nets and ropes, maybe its because of the comfort that he’s after to as it is well ventilated and much more relaxed. But I wanted some hammock chairs like of this type :

Since we have two little ones in the house, a rope type might not be suitable for them just yet and the one above is the perfect one for us. just by merely looking at it, you could see that it’s made out of fine and quality materials, a soft lush cushions, resistant to mildew, mold and most important of all is resistance, there is also protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays so you wont have any worries even if you’re out under the heat of the sun. These outdoor hammocks are great for your garden, lawn or patio and are not just for accessory purposes but is also a witness for that bonding and special moments you and your family could have at the comfort of your homes, this could be great for relaxation.
