My Flower Album 2014: Nature in Bloom

On my way home from work, I noticed the burst of color in the garden around the church. The flowers are in bloom! I whipped out my camera (yes, I do have it with me every day) and started clicking away. When I got home, I took a walk around the neighborhood and took more photos of those colorful creations of God.

Here is my Flower Photo Album. My apologies, I do not know the names of these flowers. All I know is that they are beautiful.

Here are pics from my mom's flower garden. She does grow some amazing orchids!

Thank you Lord God for the pretty little things you send my way every day.

A Passion for Sounds

I work as a Quality Analyst in a BPO company. My job entails sitting in front of the computer for a nine hour work day, listening to agents' recorded calls and checking for compliance. The skills needed in this kind of job are good judgment and a very keen sense of hearing. 

Company issued headsets are baseline functional, so I chose to use my own headset that gives me external noise reduction and good quality sound. These two criteria were met by the american audio headphones at guitar center. 

A professional headset for DJs, it provides an ultra dynamic range with great sounding highs and lows, high powered, filling your rears with booming bass and trilling treble. I know that this would be too much of a good headset to use for listening to agent-customer conversations, but with its fold-up feature, I can take them home with me and listen to my favorite 80s music. 

I don't have to be a DJ to own a headset like this. It is a perfect companion for the "perfect listener." 

Vocabulary Booster: Wave 2

Every day I eagerly await Fox News Channel's "The Factor" with Bill O'Reilly. There is never a dull moment in the show. Mr. O'Reilly's topics are always about interesting news and events that may impact our daily life.

The best part of the show for me is the #Factor Word of the Day. It is interesting to learn about a new word, how it is used and its etymology. 

Allow me to share with you my love for languages and the latest group of words I have learned.

1.  SALUBRIOUS

An adjective meaning "beneficial," "good for one's health"

Its origin came from the Latin word "salubris"  meaning "safe, healthy"

"We should encourage our children to practice the salubrious habit of eating a generous serving of fruit daily."

2. PARVENU

A noun used to refer to a person who achieves sudden wealth. It is also defined as one that has recently or suddenly risen to an unaccustomed position of wealth or power and has not yet gained the prestige, dignity or manner associated with it.

Its origin is from the French word "parvenir" meaning "to arrive." It also has Latin origin, "pervenire" which means "to come"

"Despite his multi-million winnings from the Lottery, Jose could not escape being labeled a parvenu by the elite members of society."

3. INGANNATION

A word that simply means "Deception" or "Cheating"

The etymology is unknown and is no longer listed in Merriam Webster's dictionary. 

"Be wary of get-rich quick business schemes. These have ingannation written between the lines."

The Moon: Beauty Beyond Words

When I was growing up, I had this dream of becoming an astronaut. My fascination with the world beyond the earth could have been fueled by all the hype about the Apollo missions. I am still at awe every time I look up at the night sky. I can spend hours watching the moon and stars.

I try to capture pictures of the night sky as best as I can. Here are some crude pics from my collection. 

The full moon with a halo.

I will continue to look up at the sky and be amazed at the greatness of God's creation. 

Peace and love everyone.

Practical Application of Newton's Three Laws of Motion

The world we live in is all about science. Every thing that affects our daily existence can be explained by scientific facts. Its all about force, gravity, cellular activity, motion, etc.

That being said, I thought about Sir Isaac Newton's 3 Laws of Motion and how it applies to the workplace.

So here goes:

The First Law of Motion (The Law of Inertia):

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. An object in motion will remain in motion with the same speed and same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

The boss in the background is the unbalanced force that will act upon the object at rest.

The Second Law of Motion:

Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass, the greater the amount of force needed to accelerate the object. 

The Second Law can be expressed as a mathematical equation, 

Force = Mass x Acceleration.

The greater the workload, the more effort you put in to get achieve task completion by end of week

The Third Law of Motion:

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Pushing a colleague over their limit will be met with corresponding resistance to follow

Are the other Laws of Science that you can think of that can be applied in your workplace? I would love to hear your stories too.

Take the High Road with i-ROAD

Traffic armageddon has begun in Metro Manila. The construction of the Skyway 3 and the NAIAEx Phase 2 has turned the capital's 19 kilometer main thoroughfare into a giant parking lot.

Thousands upon thousands of vehicles take to this road every day en route to work, school, or places of business. Blocking some lanes to give way to road construction and improvements can turn into a nightmare for its 12 million residents - a nightmare we have to endure for the next 4 years. I cannot imagine sitting in traffic for more than 2 hours to get home. Furthermore, the emissions coming from all the vehicles could make the pollution index increase drastically putting us at risk of developing respiratory illnesses. Is this the price we have to pay for economic development?

Technology has provided us a better alternative to go about our daily commute. Electric vehicles (EVs) are economical, convenient and totally emission free. It provides a quiet, comfortable driving experience without the worry of causing damage to the environment.

Leading the pack in innovation, Toyota gives us the i-ROAD, a three-wheeled electric vehicle that offers the maneuverability of a motorbike combined with the comfort and safety of a compact car. The active lean mechanism gives its driver a feeling of being one with the machine. Its unique mobility design makes navigation through narrow streets smooth and easy. What's cool is that its ultra compact size takes up very little parking space!

In this day and age, a small, cost efficient electric vehicle such as the i-ROAD is our best option. It would help us get from point A to point B in a breeze. We don't have to wait in line at gas stations. We can charge its batteries at home while we sleep. I will help ease the traffic congestion because it is so compact. It also helps keep the environment clean and green. What else could be better?

Take the high road with i-ROAD!

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Toyota. The opinions and text are all mine.

Get Ahead with a Good Drum Head

So the time has come for you to replace your drum heads. Then the question pops up in your mind - "What kind of drum heads should I get?"

Assess you playing style. Are you more of a jazz, acoustic or light rock drummer? Or are you the R&B, funk, and heavy metal kind? The choice of drum heads is dependent on the kind of music genre that you play. 

Drum heads come in single/one-ply or two-ply variants. The classic aquarian drum heads at wwbw are single ply drum heads that provide sensitive response and produce a rich, brightly resonant sound. If you are unsure of whether to get one-ply or two-ply drum heads, I would suggest the one-ply clear drum heads because it offers full frequencies from top to bottom suitable for all playing styles. There is nothing more satisfying than having drum heads that give high performance and versatility.
