| looks like plastic but this is a real one A number of my senior citizen subscribers thought this was plastic. One was even surprised coz she thought it was plastic, she even asked where I bought the plant. Its just a home grown plant maam. This cute plant brought joy to my heart and brought joy to those who came today. Plants make us happy. They remind us of God's wonderful creation. It allows us to show the care for them rather than think of ourselves. The benefits of plants
You don’t have to be an environmental psychologist to understand that plantslook attractive. But dig a little deeper beneath their beauty and you’ll discover that the benefits of interior landscaping go far beyond the aesthetic.
Recent research tells us that interior plants are good for buildings and people in a variety of subtle ways. Interior landscaping plays a vital role in providing a pleasant and tranquil environment in which to move, work or relax.
Plants help reduce stress and create a feeling of well-being
Most of us know instinctively that being close to greenery makes us feel more at ease with our surroundings. We experience less stress when there are plants around us. Buildings are quieter and more relaxed but, at the same time, more stimulating and interesting. A substantial body of academic research, has shown conclusively that interior landscaping has dramatic effects on the wellbeing of building occupants.
People in offices are more productive, take fewer sick days, make fewer mistakes. And they are happier when interior landscaping enhances their environment.
Patients in hospitals benefit greatly from being more in touch with nature. There is even evidence showing students perform better in improved learning environments. Make your workplace a happier, more productive environment. Call us at (888) 890-7301, or contact us online.

Plants help improve air quality
There is general agreement amongst scientists that plants improve the indoor environment and are useful in fighting the modern phenomenon of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS).
No specific cause of SBS has been identified but poor air quality, excessive background noise and inadequate control of light and humidity are all thought to be important factors.
Because plants have large surface areas and exchange gases and water with their surroundings, plants can help tackle some of these issues.
Particular benefits of interior plants include:

Plants have long been used to reduce noise from busy roads. More recently, research has shown another benefit: interior plants can help to reduce background noise levels inside buildings, too.
Our own studies indicate that plants and their leaves absorb, diffract or reflect background noise, thereby making the environment more comfortable for the occupants.
With our support, Peter Costa, a postgraduate student at South Bank University, London, found that certain plants are particularly good at absorbing high frequencies.
Plants absorb sound best in acoustically live spaces, such as those that feature hard surfaces. Learn more about the benefits of interior landscaping.

Plants make us happy
21 September 2012
What a day!
My eyes puffy with staring at my pc and counting the money for whole day even until 9pm, and with still pending payment on the side.
Sad news, maam Ai is diagnosed with stage 1 cancer. Oh, Dear Lord. Just managed to be brave and be strong for her and for us also.
And today though I feel Im so down and exhausted and have been tired with thw whole days work, I still praise the Lord for giving me the strength and for sustaining me even up to this time I as blog my emotions out. Feel like crying when I saw all the people waiting to be served, paying their internet and telephone bills. Its ok then when it started at 8am, I could still keep the pace and the speed in attending but as hours passed I noticed the enthusiasm mellowed a little and when its was 12 noon with a lot more waiters and the room packed with irritated, sleepy, impatience and even hungry people.
I praise the Lord for the strength. I asked for help and He was always there ready to cheer me up and have a positive outlook on a seemingly negative environment, full of complaints and woes.
Thank you Lord.
He said to me on Joshua 1:5 I will not leave you nor forsake you.
Thats a promise I kept all through out the day, a day revealed of positive outlook and a smile to express that God is really there guiding me helping and reminding me to smile despite the odds.
Tomorrow its another day to delight in God's word and allow Him to use us for His kingdom.

A teller's life
Its July 29, 2011, due for ngn and legacy lines which means this is going to be a very busy day with lots of people and as expected the business office will overflow with paying subscribers. But, the sad thing is that the payment system is down. Its always been like this for the whole week, the system is off and on every day, its frustrating that we have to manually encode the payments and encode it the day after. Wew! Im helpless, cant do anything about this. How can this be? A telecommunications company as big as this one is also as slow as this one. Tsk tsk tsk, life is like this, we may not like everything but we have to embrace wholeheartedly even if most of the time we lose our patience and get tired of a system that is totally out of our control. Its a test of patience and endurance, and a test that we will manage to smile despite the odds the subscribers are there vigilant and sensitive, more often than not I feel like a clown, you have to smile, pretend its always ok, take care of them with grace because they deserve the best and the way we serve them should not affect minor setbacks that may come along the way. I wish the system will be ok tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day!

When things are vague....
Sad but true, most of the working population (I am so guilty to be part of that population) spend more time in the office than spending more time at home,meaning, we spend more time with our officemates and sometimes or more often than not things go vague and it seems they are beyond comprehension. MAybe, im just being paranoid about it and I know for many reasons I have myself as my own villain, paranoia ( A psychotic disorder characterized by delusions of persecution with or without grandeur, often strenuously defended with apparent logic and reason), I know Im just exaggerating but maybe thats just the word to describe im feeling, hehehehe, dont get my wrong but its just a jargon I over used when I was i college and maybe I have not overgrown the use such psychology terms.
Vague, things go vague and im the type of person who hate vague things and vague emotions of peple. Hmmmm, I try to understand them but I can only whisper a prayer for them and lots whispered prayers for me to survive a whole day of battle of emotions. I dont know if Im getting old faster than I think or maybe I think too much or maybe im minding other people that much and I have allowed them to intrude my own territory of emotions. I just have to let go and let God. All I can do is to focus and really do the best of what im doing and leave people their own lives. But the reality is that somehow they affect the way we think the way we behave and to some point the way we feel. But, anyways, I have decided that tomorrow is another day and I have to focus on God, fix my eyes on Jesus.
"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me
Author believed to be
David Romano
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had
If I could re-live yesterday
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand
And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
