Sweet Tag

My dearest Marce Seiko tagged the Marce Club (guys if you are wondering how you can join the marce club, you cannot as this is not a group or a club, it is just a collective term for Sati’s godmothers, but right now I am cooking a SHE BLOGGERS CLUB where every she bloggers are welcome to join.. aka Marce Club extension.. will update as soon as I am done laboring).. ah yes back to the tag… oh well she tagged the whole marce club so that leaves me to tag friends next to the marce club, so that means you..

Here are some simple mechanics:
1. Post this tag in your blog (multiple blogs allowed) with these mechanics.
2. Don’t forget to use the widget above linking to the site
3. Post a photo of anything that has the color red.
4. Include also a saying or quote related to LOVE or the LOVE MONTH.
5. Tag as many as you can and instruct them to get back to Arlene’s site to leave their url if they have joined.

And I think this is the most apt love quote for this photo.

Just because you know someone doesn’t mean you love them,
and just because you don’t know people doesn’t mean you can’t
love them. You can fall in love with a complete stranger in a
heartbeat, if God planned that route for you. So open your heart
to strangers more often. You never know when God will throw
that pass at you.

~ Heather Grove ~

See what we all got for opening our hearts to strangers, we got the marce club and now we will be forming the she bloggers club 🙂

More On Future Plan

Remember my article about my future plans? About living on my own and without asking much helps from my offspring? Well, in one of blog hopping activity, I learned about assisted living communities. Assisted living community is a place for people that needs assistance in their daily activities or which is known as ADL/ Activity for Daily Living. These are people who needs help but still wants to love life independently.

In assisted living facilities, they offer help with ADLs such as bathing, dressing and eating. They also give out help on doing the laundry, housekeeping and medications. The care given in assisted living is not as intensive as it is in the nursing home. Each individual resident that enrolls in assisted living are given a unique service plan. The service plan detailed the needs of the resident. The plan is also upgraded regularly as to meet the needs of the resident.

There is a big difference between nursing home and senior independent living. As we all know, in nursing homes, the residents are mostly frail and needs to be taken care of. They have greater needs and they cannot take care of themselves. Unlike in assisted living, the residents here are those who can manage simple activities such as walking on their own.

Maybe if hubby and I are older, we might consider living in in this kind of community as I learned that on average, there are 20 to 23 residents in each community. That would be a good number to socialize with, don’t you think?

UPDATE: Contest Points

As promised, below are the TOP TEN HIGHEST POINTERS of the contest so far. These do not include the points for comments on my blog and Kaye’s, as well as comments on the major sponsors’ blogs. We will include them in the final tallying of points (excitement effect. LOL), so these points are only those that came from the mechanics pages. So without further ado, here are the top ten as of February 15, 2010:

Gene – 1090
Kikamz – 960
Niko – 890
Mys – 850
Chris – 840
Sherry – 770
Red – 700
Kasai – 570
Beng – 550
Tetcha – 450

Are you intimidated by their scores? LOL! Don’t be. It’s still far away from contest end. And let me explain why such high scores. We gave an extra FOUR HUNDRED (400) POINTS for those who completed the reviews of the four major sponsors, ASIDE from giving extra benefits to those who finished completing the requirements early. Why the whopping extra points? Because:

Starting today, we are changing one of the contest requirements. The review of the four major sponsors will NOT be a requirement anymore, so that’s yay for everyone who’s reason for not joining is that they cannot make a blog review or do not have the time to earn that top spot for the $200. BUT, we will STILL REQUIRE that you post a separate entry with the links of the four major sponsors (codes are already provided. OMG, this is sooo getting lazy-friendly. LOL). We came to this decision because more than we’d like to motivate you to practice your blog reviewing skills for future writing opportunities, we want to keep our promise to our beloved sponsors to give them at least 150 backlinks each for the duration of the contest. So there.

As a recognition to those who were forced (hee hee) to make a review of the major sponsors in the original rules, we are giving them an extra 400 points for their effort. Not bad eh? Anyways, a more detailed explanation of the improved mechanics is here at the original mechanics page, so do read (especially for the new participants.) We hope this move entices more people to join the contest. If not, then… We’ll just think of other ways to encourage people join. LOL. You know me and Kaye. We ALWAYS find a way 😉
