A New Job Offer

I got a call this morning from the staffing agency offering me a new job assignment. It will only be for a month and I will be doing the admin/clerical duties. The rate is pretty good and the work location is close to where I live. This is what I hate when registering with an agency because most jobs are temporary and sometimes very short. Every time a new assignment comes, I also have to adjust to the new corporate culture and the people working in that particular company. But who am I to complain? I am new here in the US and I do not have a lot of local experience. They don't really care of my my three-year customer service and banking experience in the Philippines. I know the competition for office jobs is tight nowadays considering the layoffs and downsizing of employees from some companies. Hmmm for now, I will just have to take advantage of it while waiting for a call from the bank which I applied also a week ago. So, right now I guess I have to enjoy my two weeks. I still have a lot of time beautifying and decorating the house. Hubby completely agrees to my designs and colors. He is very cool about it. I am the boss when it comes to interior designing. Hehehe. Of course he knows I know best!

Memories of Midnight

It took me awhile to grab the book "Memories of Midnight" by Sidney Sheldon. It was just sitting in our center table untouched. I should have returned this book weeks ago but I was preoccupied with lots of things. I got addicted to blogging and reading my friends' blogs. Aside from blogging, a shopaholic friend of mine always give me a call in the morning and wants my company to go malling, eat out, and I can't say no because I enjoy doing these things also. Hehehe.

The plot of Memories of Midnight takes off from the ending of The Other Side of Midnight, where Catherine Douglas is recovering in a convent. The outside world believes that she has been murdered by her husband, Larry, and his mistress Noelle Page. While in actuality, she has had amnesia, and has been placed in this convent by shipping tycoon billionaire Constantin Demiris. Catherine request a need to see the world outside the convent. This request is acceeded by the Sister of the convent, but only after getting the approval of their mentor Constantin Demiris. He sees that she is taken out and placed in London with a job in one of his various offices there. Meanwhile, anyone who comes to know that Catherine is alive is getting killed...

Sidney Sheldon has created a book with twists and turns which I really like. Catherine is an ideal heroine. The book will have you turning page after page, rushing to get to the conclusion. It will give you a suspenseful entertainment. It's a story of love & passion, betrayal, revenge, and murder. The antagonist character is what I like best. He is so smart in plotting his plans and revenge. I know this is a very old book published in the 90's but I recommend this to those who have not read the book. It's a wonderful novel.

Our First Valentines Celebration

It took me an hour to get beautiful, put some make up, curled my hair and trying for a new look for this very special occasion. I was very hungry already while waiting for my lovey dovey from work. It's our first Valentines together. I remember last year, my thoughtful fiance who is already my hubby sent me some online gifts. It made me feel super special and it really made my day though we were miles apart. Today, we give each other gifts and cards and of course exchanged hugs and kisses. We left the house a little late for dinner. I was worried about getting a seat because we did not make any reservation. When we got to our favorite steak restaurant we waited for about 30 minutes. I know I hate to wait but it's worth it. Though we had a simple celebration, we really had the most romantic dinner and the best food. I look forward for next year's Valentines and I hope there will be many more to come in our marriage.

Valentines Celebration In Some Parts Of The World

The youthful romance of Valentine's Day has captured hearts all over the world. Here are some ways people celebrate Valentine's Day in Japan in Asia, Britain in Europe and Australia. This is interesting!

Valentines Day In Japan

Valentines Day celebrations in Japan are a different affair. Here ladies buy chocolate for men. One type of chocolate which is called by the name, kiri-choco is bought for friends and close relatives. It has no romantic significance at all but the chocolate with the name of hon-mei which is specifically bought for a boy friend, beloved or husband and is a gift stimulated by romance. Then after one month later it is the turn of the men to give in return. It is March 14th (the White Day), when men present gifts of chocolate to all the ladies who remembered them on Valentines Day. The color of the chocolate is generally white because of the name of the day.

Valentines Day Traditions In Britain

Of the various customs popular in England, penning of verses of love affairs and matters of heart is the most fascinating way to honor the Saint patron of love, the immortal St. Valentine. In various parts of the United Kingdom, celebrations take place according to the customs and traditions and as the day approaches, all magazines and tabloids are readying for the day and they publish sonnets and verses to commemorate St Valentine's Day.

Valentines Day traditions In Australia

The gold miners in Australia who were blushing with new found wealth from the Ballarat mines were willing to pay a princely sum for making elaborate valentines. The merchants in Australia would generally send orders of a thousand pounds at a time to make the Valentines Day grander. The most profligate of valentines were made of a satin cushion and ornately designed with flowers, colored shells, ribbons etc. All this work was kept in a neatly adorned box.

In some countries like Austria and Germany there has long been a tradition for men to buy their sweethearts flowers on Valentine's Day. An interesting facet of this tradition is that men have to pay attention to the type of flowers their sweet hearts like- both in terms of color and fragrance. In Germany it has become a kind of must for the lovers, husbands or people who are courting, to give gifts and flowers to their loved ones on Valentines Day. It adds romance and excitement to the occasion. Here various gifts in the shape of love symbols would be given with romantic love messages written all over. On the occasion of the Valentines Day the husbands give presents of chocolates and roses to their wives. Even the certificates of baptism and marriage were thought to be given as Valentines Day gifts but these were more likely to be decorative and pictorial. These would be accompanied by love messages and romantic verses.
