Ramblers Way apparel are 100% made in America

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine.

Living in a town is like having a more peaceful and clearer environment. I used to live in the urban zone before where pollutions are everywhere. Although there is one thing I fear for with the current suburb living. Unlike in other towns, our town is free from factories who are not complying with environmental issues but the wide plains are susceptible towards real estate development. Our town is of one consideration for low cost housing and subdivision buildings. It is a big threat towards the agricultural concerns and at the same time a fear of losing grassland for farm animals to dwell. Not to mention the quarrying of the beautiful white mountains around the town. I wish I will never get to loss the sight of the grassland with the farm animals and the beautiful sight of our white mountains.

This is one thing you will admire from Ramblers Way Farm. They preserve history and let good things last in the small towns of America. They change the way American business is done. Their company sources, grows and produces their fine woolen apparel using 100% domestic resources. And how they do it? They make it happened by bringing their manufacturing facilities into distressed small towns and are helping to revitalize the communities.

I do have passion for historical preservation. I value the structures and relics that made me learn and appreciate the past of my world and considering that those have something to tell from generations to generations. It is indispensable indeed to preserve the structures, statues and the things of the past that will all remind us where and how we started. Just like Ramblers Way Farm wherein they used the Rambouillet breed in their textile to reintroduce Rambouillet wool to American customers which is a part of the long and rich history of this celebrated breed. They really just go above and beyond their company’s benefits in doing business.

Made in America products I believe are of quality and really do made by Americans. Among imported products in our country, those made in America are really of top priority in the list. I know that there are products labeled made in America but actually not. But when it comes to Ramblers Way Farm products you can be assured that they are 100% made in America.

Happy Birthday Papa!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUBBY! On this day, I want to thank God for giving me you. Thanks for all the love, support and understanding. I wish you good health, more blessings and more birthdays to come. We love you so muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch!

DFA passport application

Hubby needs to renew his passport but it was lost years ago. We are thinking of the new procedures at DFA because there are bad and good feedback about the new system. But I guess as how DFA tries to improve the system, fixers also have their ways to combat it.

DFA started online processing last March 2010 so if you need an appointment for your passport you can apply at DFA website. Passports can be claimed from the DFA after 20 days for P950, or in just 10 days for P1,200.

Mayweather Sr. on Pacquiao: A little Filipino midget

This Floyd Mayweather Sr. is really getting into my nerves. He is like a very talkative parrot that keeps on talking and talking and as if people believe in what he is saying. If you think your son is the best then make the “dream fight” happens without so many requests or press conferences. From there people will know “Who is Who?” This Mayweather Sr. even called Manny Pacquiao a “little Filipino midget” and “one of the biggest faggots on the planet.”

What is an air filter?

Have you already check your car’s air filter? Is it still clean or a replacement is needed? This air filter is an important part when it comes to our car’s intake system. It is where our car engine breathes so without it our car is dead. An exact mixture of fuel and air is what our engine needs in order to run. It is in the air filter where air enters then sifts out dirt and other particles in the air thus preventing those from entering the system and damaging the engine.

This air filter only costs pretty cheap despite the importance of its functions. A clean air filter is very important in our car’s performance. Our gas mileage will depend on the condition of our air filter. Our car systems will perform poorly with a dirty air filter and may give us trouble from running it.

Replacing air filter is a simple job but often neglected to do by car owners. It is advisable to check air filter and replace it if needed to maintain our car’s performance. We practically do many things in a day but a responsible car owner should never miss a thing that will make his or her car dead. Keeping a record of all the maintenance jobs in our car will be a big help for us not to forget things that need to be done.

Coping with difficulties

This school year 2010-2011, my 2 kids who are studying from 2 different schools have different schedules as well. My daughter Nicole schedule is from 7:00am till 3:50pm. She’s studying at St. Matthew College and leaves between 5:45-5:50am with his cousin and uncle. My Justin on the other hand school time is 11:00am – 2:00pm in Virgen del Pilar School. One is too early and the other one is quite late. The other school is near and the other one is far.

With the additions of blogging and doing the household chores, I am really in the stage of adjustments to cope up with the changes and works to do. Little by little I am changing my laundry and ironing time to make it more convenient. For now, I am still finding the right work schedules so as not to affect the time I need to spend with my kids.
