Today is our last day in school and the days to follow will be a quality time for my babies! Yes, I should make the short-two weeks holiday vacation a memorable one! 

Well, honestly, until now am not yet sure where to spend the holiday- it could be just at home or with my brother and sister-in-law.

What's on my mind is just a simple celebration just like before yet this time I want to be off somewhere- where my babies could have a dip in the pool or rest in a cool place with scenic views. But it's gonna be costly. Yes I know.

How I wish for a truly merrier Christmas.

Looking forward for a prosperous 2017 where I could have all the things that I want for my family.

Fingers crossed.

As 2016 draws to a close, it’s time to get a fresh start with your mental health for the upcoming year. There are plenty of people out there trying to improve their health and fitness for their New Year’s resolution, which is great, but it’s also important to pay close attention to your mind’s fitness. Most people find that by working on their emotional and mental state of being, everything else starts to improve as well. Here are five ways to improve your mental health in 2017.

1. Start Exercising

You should first start with a new exercise program. Instead of making your physical fitness focus on losing weight or building muscle, make it all about feeling good inside. Physical activity has many benefits to mental health. Not only has it been linked to improving your brain power, but it also could help you feel less stressful in some situations. The chemicals your body releases when exercising help combat feelings of anxiety and stress. Additionally, you may start to feel more positive about your outlook when you begin a new program to help benefit your body and your whole self.

2. Get a Hobby

Another way to help get mental clarity in 2017 is with a hobby. If you have a strong interest in an activity, think about new ways to get involved in your passion. For example, if you love art, sign up for local community workshops that help you explore painting techniques. For dance enthusiasts, you can try out some sessions of tap dancing or ballet. Some people enjoy quiet hobbies like collecting. Use the internet to get started on expanding your favorite collection of items. You can try sites like eBay to help you focus on a specific object.

3. Improve Your Knowledge

Some people feel more relaxed and positive in their mind if they pursue additional knowledge in a subject. Try signing up for classes in a topic of interest. It may be wise to investigate advanced study in your field with a graduate degree. The University of Cincinnati has plenty of online programs in a variety of topics, like Health Administration, to get your career on track.

4. Try Meditation

Meditating is also a way to help you feel calmer and more focused. You can learn about some of the top methods of this ancient practice through an online guide or a class at your local health club. At USC Online, there are several online resources through the graduate Health Administration program to get you started.

5. Expand Your Network

The final method of improving your mental health is through connecting with others. Spending time with friends and family more often is a great way to keep your social connections strong. Get out of the house, and meet new people if you don’t have close friends or family around in your area.

Mental health should be taken seriously if you want to be the best version of yourself. This year, plan to prioritize your mental health to give yourself a better outlook in 2017.

Few days left before Christmas yet I can't still make up my mind on what to buy for Christmas- not even for the upcoming Teachers' Christmas Party in our school this coming Tuesday. Indeed, I can already feel the Christmas Rush Hour.

But as for my son's School Christmas Party tomorrow, I'm a little bit prepared. All I need to do is to wrap the gifts for tomorrow. 

For the coming Noche Buena, we are used to a simple celebration, so I really don't have to bother on that.

How about you, are you ready for that gift-giving thing this Christmas? Let me know by sharing your experience.

I do admire those girls who knows how to play a drum. It is one of my greatest frustrations actually. Since I do not know how to play, I just love seeing my hubby plays whenever he gets the chance to do it. I may know nothing about drums but I know how to detect good sound quality of a drum. It takes a good drumstick for a better drum rolls-this is a fact. No matter how good you are with drums yet doesn't have the perfect drumsticks just like john blackwell, then the kid of sound that the drum is producing isn't that good at all.

So, are you ready to play that drum this Christmas? Be sure to have the right drumsticks!

I always have this "good feeling" every Christmas. Not because I am expecting for gifts from others, but simply because I can feel God's goodness in my life amidst adversities. The year 2016 is almost over and yet it feels like I have so many things yet that are left undone. Nevertheless, I can still manage to blog and do other "online things".

Well, actually, this year has been a good year to me. See, I gave birth to my youngest baby and I am so thankful to God for the life of my Baby Jermaine Ysabelle. She completed my family. There will be no other baby next to her because I just undergone Bilateral Tubal Ligation during the time I gave birth to her.

It is my prayer then that God will give me the capacity to give my children the life that they truly deserves. A kind of life that is so much better than mine.

Fingers crossed.

For many of the residents in the U.S., cold weather is rapidly settling in, with even colder temperatures not far on the horizon. Air conditioner use is now out for awhile; the heaters are starting to kick in, and will be the important temperature control measure for the next few months or so. 

Out in the world of industry (the construction and industrial fields being good examples), companies may need to enlist the services of portable heating and air conditioning systems in order to facilitate the successful completion of a project. When such situations arise, or there is an expectation that a portable temperature control system will be needed for any variety of different reasons, that's when the first task in the project begins. Finding the right temperature control unit that is suitable for the job.

Portable heater units will now be in high demand due to the cold outside temperatures. A good many projects in a wide variety of industries need warmer temperatures in their facilities, outbuildings, or on-site to complete these projects. The question then that presents itself is, where can I buy or rent a portable heater or temporary heater, and finding where to get such equipment, what unit is appropriate for my needs?

If you do a check on the internet for companies that provide portable heating systems, a good number will be found. A cautious eye must, however, be kept on such listings. Many companies may provide portable temperature control systems, but offer them as ancillary goods and services, a mere supplement to bigger business endeavors they ultimately focus their efforts on.

To get the very best selection of equipment, with expert professionals on staff that will be well-trained and experienced in the sales and operation of machinery specific to temperature control, a search should be performed for a company that specifically specializes in services in this area, and only this area. A company like All American Portable Air is a great example of one such company.

Experienced companies in this field won't just simply sell you equipment to complete an order. They will consult with you to address your specific needs, and make calculations on a number of variables within your facility. They then design a system specific to your unique air management needs.

Temperature control can be an integral mechanism in business. To ensure that your needs are satisfied, make sure you enlist the services of a company that makes it their business keeping customers warm, comfortable, and functional at all times when it's needed.
