I have heard about it a few times from other people and from people in a forum on Davao that there is a new taxi in Davao called City Orange Cab. We just recently saw one for the first time when we were at Robinsons Cybergate.

We usually ride a taxi when we go out with the little boy on trips beyond short distance but we have never ridden one of these yet. Hope to try riding one soon just for the experience. *wink*

I have a meeting supposedly to attend to this afternoon but was called off for some other important reason by the person I was supposed to meet. It is for a business opportunity I want to explore. The meeting was postponed next week. I am not sure though with my schedule next week so the other person suggested maybe we can just do something similar to a web video conferencing. It is just a simple meeting done online with the use of video with audio conference with a prospect client of hers. I have never done this kind of web conferencing for what seems like a business meeting but this time done online.

Well with the advanced communication technology that we have these days, we might as well adopt to this ever changing world. I am actually looking forward to that meeting next week. I hope things will work out as I hope they will be. It will be a blessing if it does.

We attended to our devotion to the first Friday mass at Our Mother of Perpetual Help Parish more known as the Redemptorist Church here in Davao City.

With Abreeza just across, we decided to go there to buy a few grocery stuff for the weekend. Then after that the little boy requested for pizza and we gave him a pizza treat at Yellow Cab at Abreeza Ayala Mall Davao.

Hubby and I were game on pizza as a Friday night treat anyway. We went for our old and all time fave New York’s Finest pizza, one of their best sellers. We cannot make this a regular treat though because hubby knows we have to be on a diet. Right dad? *wink* We feel blessed to have bonding times like this on a Friday night leading towards the weekend.

While waiting for the pizza, we played with the little boy’s Lego, a new fave of ours lately to pass time in a fun and creative way while we’re waiting for something. It makes time fly and before we knew it, our pizza was already being served and we’re ready to eat!

Thank you LORD! Have a fab, fun and safe weekend everyone!

Many medical personnel such as nurses, medical technicians, laboratory technicians, and doctors don uniforms and scrubs during their work. These medical clothing, like nurses scrubs, are more than means of identification. They serve as protection for the kind of work that medical personnel do.

If your job requires you to wear these medical clothing, it is important to know what to consider when buying one. Below are some tips to help you when choosing such uniforms and scrubs.

• Color and Design. The first thing you need to find out is whether you will be required to wear a particular color of scrubs in your workplace. Most of the time, medical establishments color-code the scrubs of their personnel. If this is the case for your workplace then you will be limited to the color that they specify. Aside from this, find out whether you will be allowed to wear uniforms and scrubs with prints. Some brands like Peaches scrubs offer scrubs in various designs which may be fun to wear if you will be allowed to.
• Style. There are various styles of scrubs and it is important to narrow down the styles that will suit you based on your preferences and the specific nature of your work. Among the choices for the pants are elastics, drawstrings, and buttons. When it comes to the top, there are scrubs that have many pockets while there are also scrubs that do not have any. You can also choose from various cuts such as scoop neck, v-neck, baby doll, flare legs, straight legs, and ribbed knit cuffs, among others.
• Fabric. The fabric is among the most important considerations when buying scrub uniforms. It is imperative that the fabric is appropriate for your line of work and can withstand that challenges that you regularly encounter. You might want a type of fabric that is stain and spill resistant if your tasks put you at high risk of these scenarios or you may prefer a type of fabric that is comfortable to wear. No matter what type of fabric you prefer, make sure that it is strong and durable.
• Workmanship. Inspect the scrub uniforms for the workmanship. Check that the stitching is sturdy so that you will not have to worry about fraying or unraveling seams.  Even if you choose a scrub uniform with excellent fabric, it will not hold up to the demands of your everyday work if the stitching is not good.
• Sizes. It is important that you are comfortable with the uniform that you are wearing so make sure that the size you will choose fits you just right. Remember that scrubs are not meant to be worn too tightly or loosely. Make sure you try on the scrubs and try to move around while wearing it.

It falls forty days after Christmas.

Día de la Candelaria (Day of the Candles or Candle Mass) happens on February 2, and is a Mexican celebration that is fusion of the Catholic influences and native Mexican tradition.

You can read more about this here.

I do remember this growing up as a time that my mom would have candles blessed during the mass and we would use them on special occasions and during prayer or rosary time at our home. I do remember too we would light them too especially during times when we pray for a special intention and important intercession when someone in the family is sick.

Learning to cook especially baking is one thing on my agenda this year. I like baking more since I was a kid through the influence that my mommy had on me when we were much younger is one of the main reasons that is urging me to pursue baking. It was a good opportunity too to meet a chef who has a culinary school that I have been interested in since last year. It is a nice thing to know her as a mom of one of the students also in the little boy’s school. I actually saw her daughter in the photos of their culinary class being offered. I feel more comfortable now in pursuing to learn baking or cooking this year. Just waiting for the budget to let that plan be realized.

Another thing I want to learn is on making more means to earn to augment the family income. The economy may be better this time around compared to the last quarter of last year. But we still cannot rely so much on how the economy goes though as the experts and gurus in investing would say, when the economy is not going well then that is the best time to invest. I do wish I can come close to being able to afford to buy gold online not necessarily the gold bars but even just those American gold coins that I have seen often before. Or perhaps invest in stocks that are truly stable and more so profitable. There is a lot of learning to do when you invest on these.

There are more things I want to learn this year. Focusing more on these good things will make life more productive. It had been and so I will be making it more so for the little boy’s sake. God help and guide me!

Final score of Djokovic vs Nadal is 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7, 7-5 in favor of Defending Champion Djokovic. Nadal has lost the last three straight Grand Slams he has played. People thought Nadal was going to win but Djokovic came back and won this match. Congrats to all Djokovic fans! Well deserved win and his 3rd Australian Open win! Djokovic becomes 5th man in Open Era to win 3 straight Grand Slam titles.

I still say way to go Rafa! You gave this match a good fight Yes I am a Nadal fan and was rooting for him. If it had been Djokovic playing against someone else, I would be rooting for Novak.

This match is now the longest Grand slam final in the history of tennis beating Wilander/Lendl US Open 1988 final which was at 4 hours and 54 minutes according to the tweet from the @AustralianOpen. This Nadal vs Djokovic match lasted more than 5 hours and 53 minutes.

I have asked hubby who is more knowledgeable in accessing these technical stuff part of blogging to check on these Hosting Reviews that I am going through myself. I am familiar with three of the web hosts listed among the top 10. Since hubby can access more on which new hosting option to choose, I will let him decide and maybe do more reading on reviews done by clients of these existing web hosts and they may be part of our options for a new web hosting option. We’re looking for those that can handle more traffic without our sites going down every now and then because it is really a hassle to us and other clients. One that offers unlimited bandwidth and storage plus offer affordable hosting prices is also one important thing that we are looking for in our new hosting option.

They have this new drink they are promoting as the barista said which is the Starbucks Valencia Macchiato.This is what I read related to it…

A mocha with Valencia (orange) syrup and an extra espresso shot added, with whipped cream and orangey sprinkles on top. These taste like the chocolate oranges you can buy in various stores. This doesn’t appear on the menu as often as it used to, so newer baristas may not be familiar with the exact recipe.

From what I read it uses sweet Valencia (orange) syrup which makes the beverage taste tangy and sweet with this honey orange. The barista as I remember said lemon though not orange and it does taste lemon. I only drank a little of what hubby ordered in tall size of this so we can just try it for the first time and see if we like it.

I, on the other hand, went for my usual Starbucks hot peppermint mocha which I hope they would serve in their red holiday cups but did not. I saw them using the red cups on others. I wonder why? I just wanted to cherish using the red cups before they are totally gone until the next Christmas season. I think they are choosing those who they use it for. Yes I cannot hide my disappointment right? This is strike two actually because this is the second time and I saw there are still red cups there for use. Well it’s just a cup so I’d let go of it if they give preference to others while we have been somewhat regular customers there. Maybe I still need to specify and remind them next time that I want the red cup for my holiday beverage. LOL!

Anyway, the taste that strikes us as soon as we drank this one reminds both hubby and me of a rather strong lemon or citrus smell of maybe a freshener that we recently used. No offense for those who love this drink really for that comparison because that’s just the most recent thing that smells like it that we can think of. We don’t use lemon except for calamansi which tastes a little different from this taste. I only drank a little of this as hubby reminded me after I remember being told by a doctor that anything citrus may not be good even for mild asthmatics like me. But I am glad that my curiosity has been satisfied as to how the Starbucks Valencia Macchiato tasted.
