A Moving Experience

You need to move within US? one way truck rental is less advantageous compared to U-Pack is with U-Pack you need not to pay extra charges for fuel, etc..Fuel, taxes and payment for driver are already included, no hidden charges. It is really a great idea to prefer U-pack than truck rental if you want to save money at the same time you want convenience in your moving experience.

The company will bring the moving container or trailer to your place and you are given 3 days to load all your belongings. You need not to weigh your things nor worry for the extra space not consumed because you’ll just pay for the space occupied only. The company is now in-charge of delivering your belongings to your new place safely. And, as it arrives in your new place, you are given up to 3 days to unload your belongings. Hassle free, isn’t it? Plus, you can save money compared to traditional moving companies.

My friend who just moved from Oklahoma to Alabama, where 7 of her college friends are located, experienced such convenience at the same time saved money as she moved from one state to another.

How Do You Celebrate Your Birthday?

Loose diamonds as birthday gift for me? Wow! Who does not want diamonds, I would be glad to receive one. Eight days from now I’ll be 31 years old. But, all of the people here in our house, including me, are busy preparing for my grandmother’s 80th birthday celebration that will take place 2 weeks from now.

My friends keep on teasing me since last week what time will the party  will start and where is the venue for my birthday party celebration but I just responded them with a warm smile. Since March 7, I made a count down on the social site where me, my friends, and relatives are active. I even jokingly posted an announcement there that I am officially accepting gifts since that day, so as food pledges.

As long as I take time to thank God and acknowledge all the blessings He has given to me; made a self examination of the good and bad decisions and behavior I’ve made and try to correct the bad ones; list my potentials and try to realize it one by one; and, have a healthy meal with my family and sometimes with friends on my birthday it is already a celebration. It is pretty seldom that I celebrate my birthday with a party. How about you, how do you celebrate your birthday?

Tips to Become a Good Listener

My friends talked about best day creams they’ve ever use yesterday. I listen to their basis why each one of them tell the group what made the day cream the best for them. I listen to them intently for me to learn more from them. That scenario made me decide to share some tips how to become a good listener.

We need to make an effort to listen when someone is talking to us. We need to give them our attention. For you to have a focus on what the speaker is trying to say, put yourself in the position of the speaker.

Make sure to understand what the speaker is talking about, and digest the message on the clearest way as possible for you to become more eager to hear more from the speaker.

Avoid giving an opinion until the speaker finished talking. Better reserve all your questions until the speaker finished giving his or her message of what he or she wants to convey.

Nonverbal messages like facial expressions and body movements are additional sources of message from the speaker, so be aware of it.

Do not just hear from what other people say, try to listen and learn from them.

Reflection

I feel bored this evening. I already read all my emails and checked what’s the latest about my friends on social network site where I am active most. As I check out my drawer, I saw two communion invitations sent to me by my friends last year for first communion of their kids. As I saw the invitations,  I realized that I am really getting older because those 10-year old kids that had their first communion last year were still newborn babes way back I first saw them. It’s almost 11 years now since  me and my friends graduated from college. I just smiled to my reflection at the mirror. Well, I still look young for my age.

My friends always tease me that I need to look for a partner in life now because I am not getting any younger. That, I could share more about kids health here on my blog if I have kids of my own. My friends are some of the avid readers of Family Health Avenue, they even subscribe to my RSS feed. Yes, I got good friends that are eligible bachelors but they’re contented to be just my friend. I believe that the right person will just come at the right time.

Keepsakes like first communion invitations could help us reflect of what is going on with our lives, right? I just smiled to myself as I have those reflections and decided to write something about it here.
