Smoke in a Non-Smoking zone

Tweet

My Dad is a heavy smoker. He smokes every 30 minutes or so. He does step out every time he feels like taking a puff but the wind still blows the cigarette smoke inside the house. I get headaches all day long because I really don’t like the smell of cigarette smoke.

There are days when he likes smoking inside the bathroom. Because the house is an old fashioned model, there’s only a small window instead of an exhaust fan. So yes, the smoke from the cigarette stays for hours.

I found an answer to my Dad’s addiction. The e-cigarette. It apparently doesn't emit an offensive odor that results in lingering bad smell on clothes and breath.

I’ll research more on this so-called e-cigarette. Will put this on my Christmas gift list for my Dad.

My Papa has a green thumb. The backyard soil, in our house in the city, is as dry as the sand in the desert. But he was able to grow plants well on that small space of unhealthy soil. He was able to harvest some vegetables and fruits. He also has flowery plants.

His brother also has a green thumb. My Uncle lives in Arizona. He also has a garden in his backyard just like my Dad.

I think I'm adopted. I have tried, a lot of times, to grow plants in our condominium's balcony. I water the plants and  let it say "Hi!" to Mr. Sun everyday. But after just a few weeks, the plant dies. I don't have a green thumb like my Dad and his brother. But come to think of it, so does my sisters!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Happy Father's Day to all the responsible, loving dad's of this world. Same greeting goes to the single mom's who took the responsibility of being both a mom and a dad to their kids.

Here is a wonderful gift that can be prepared for father's day .

Fill a jar with Hersheys Hugs and Kisses. Take one pair of new sports socks and one pair of gloves (gardening gloves, work gloves, etc.) Tack the socks together toe to toe. This makes a pair of arms. Tack one glove to the the open end of each of the socks. Now you have arms and hands. Wrap the arms and hands around the jar a couple of times, crossing the hands at the front and tack together.

Attach this poem:
DADDY,
If all these Kisses aren't enough,
There's two hands to help with garden stuff.
If all these hugs don't work their charm,
There's two arms to help keep you warm.
If this gift doesn't show how much we care,
We have REAL hugs & kisses to share!

father's day

We will be celebrating father's day once again on the 21st of June. To all the forgetful mom's out there, set your reminder alarm on the 3rd Sunday of this month. If you forget still, please stop blaming it on the "expensive" pain killers that you used during childbirth, I am already reminding you now.

Where did father's day originated? It all began in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910. Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Her father, William Jackson Smart, was left to raise six children by himself when his wife died in childbirth with their sixth child. She wanted her father to know how special he was so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration on her fathers birthday.

On Father's Day, don't forget to honor the special men in your life.
