Goodbye Kuya Jun

01/12/2012

“We may not be the best of friends nor are we acquaintances but we have been living within meters from each other for more than 5 years. Recently you were so actively present in our lives by ushering hope and faith everytime you come in with your alert happy aura along with your magical paper and pen. Time has flown so fast and you had to leave so abruptly. Your passing is so sudden that I am left in disbelief and it is not appropriate for me to cry because we do not have significant memories with each other. However, I thank the great Divine for having met you in my lifetime and I pray for the happiness and contentment of your soul now that you have returned to the stars. I pray, may you be happier now that you have returned and may you be at peace now that you are back in the arms of the mother. I thank you for your kindness and may your soul live in bliss and happiness.

Mi Horoscope. that which thrills me most.

Today my daily forecast on energy and career are as follows:

Energy : Venus Semisextile Ascendant : November 09, 2011

 –> Try to relax. Just this once. There’s nothing more for you to do, and making more lists or more promises won’t help. You’re only one person.

 

Career : Jupiter Quincunx Sun

 –> You know you’re perfect for the job. Your quest, however, is to make sure the higher-ups feel the same. You can do it. Get busy. Oh, and smile.

 

 

 

 

October 27 : Diwali Festival

 

Diwali is a festival that is celebrated on this day in both India and Nepal, and although it is a sacred holy day for Hindus, this festival is also celebrated in other parts of the world by many other religions, sects and communities.

The festival itself celebrates the triumph of good over evil, and so is also known as ‘The Festival of Lights.’ Towards this same glowing goal, people who celebrated these energies often light rows of tiny lights both outside and in their homes in order to honor the heroic figures that have successfully triumphed over darkness, fear, evil and hate.

This Festival of Lights is also considered to be one of the most auspicious times of the year to begin new projects and invest in new endeavors, whether investing means ideas, time, energy or even money.

The idea here is that any new endeavor begun during the festival of Diwali will come to light in a big, beautiful way. Therefore, adherents to this idea will clear the clutter and clean their space before lighting up.

All of this activity is done in preparation for the bright and better days to come. Doors and windows are also opened to extend a warm welcome to new fortunes and much anticipated good luck! Sometime today, light a candle or two and then open your windows and doors to greet your own propitious fortunes and bountiful blessings!

If you got ‘em, light ‘em, but that advice is particularly applicable today.

Today is THURSDAY and the day of Diwali festival for Hindu believers. Today I start to clean out my room in preparation for something proserperous and delightful this coming New Year. I shall light a candle later to guide the souls through their passage and to usher in with warmth the new proptious fortunes I will be receiving after this day. If you happen to read this entry right now, then open your windows later and light candles to honor the presence of good fortune in your life.

Curtains

Curtains are ingenious handicraft or commercial products used to cover windows and block light, wind, or water, from entering a room or space. Nowadays, curtains are also used for decorative and aesthetic purposes, especially in business and commercial areas. Draperies come in a variety of colors, shapes, sizes, textures, and designs. You can purchase these products online, in a department store, or from a curtain supplier.

Curtains have varied light absorbing and heat insulating properties, depending on the thickness and type of fabric used. For maximal protection from light, choose “blockout” coated fabrics that have undergone the coating process 3 times to ensure 100% light absorption. If you want light to go through your curtain windows and yet retain UV protection properties, choose products made from polyester or cotton lace.

Buying high quality curtains may be expensive and when shopping on a budget, it is good to scout for discounts and promos over the internet. Local department stores also go on sale so make sure you keep yourself updated.  Good quality curtains are not necessarily expensive, it always good to touch and feel the curtain fabric and compare it with others.

Adult Education

As a person grows older, so does the body’s cells and mental processes. Adult education is hence a different learning process which deals with previously sensitized neurons and behavioural practices.  It is thus quite difficult to change an adults learning and perception which calls for usage of educational techniques fit for the adult mind.

Higher education for adults entails a working curriculum in which basic principles and pertinent skills are taught simultaneously. Knowledge and learning are more concrete when the principles are being practiced and simulated actively.

Return demonstration practices are one of the techniques important for adult education. Return demos allow adults to practice what they have learned and show how well they can perform a given set of skill tasks.  Continuing education may be a lifelong process and adults are better prepared for on-the-job-trainings and apprenticeship practices. 

A further learning method for adults is termed distance learning wherein independent study and student directed group discussions are emphasized. For those who wish to continue adult education, one must be prepared for the learning methods mentioned above.

Learning as an adult is a highly active process where skills and lessons are practice and duly applied. This allows for development of expertise in any field of work an adult chooses to pursue. Check out Business.com if you wish to know more about tips and techniques regarding adult education.
