Carmina's quest for the perfect display for her treasured mementos led her to an extraordinary find

Carmina was looking for the best way to hang treasured pictures and mementos from a keepsake. I felt it was time to bring them out and display them on my wall. I saw many options, from cork boards to felt boards , but I didn’t want an ordinary board hanging there. I wanted it to be part of my wall décor, placed above my desk where I sit daily—something I could look up at and be reminded of past travels and accomplishments. Some people keep them in photo albums or store them digitally, but I wanted mine on display. What caught my eye from an ordinary felt board something had a roof which remind me a house. The best part it is light weight and it has a mount tape in the back attached to the felt board included was thumb tacks and something else where can decorate. Carmina had purchased the three dimensions roof felt board wall self-adhesive retro premium wall decoration message measurement of 60x80 cm in color camel for 875.00 pesos ($14.34) not including shipping and handling.

You're English is Better than Others

You're English is Better than Others

Reason why I say this I have a lot of friends asking for a favor from me.

I had a friend who had told me I am good in English and wanted me to check their language on their resume to see if their grammar was correct.

My friend was saying your English is better than mine and I am applying for a job. I need a favor if you can check upon it to see how I can make changes.

The funny part my friend gave it in a jpeg (picture). I had typed it in from the beginning by checking how the format is supposed to look these days.

The resume I had was old school took me two hours to type and corrects everything. My friend kept asking me if it was done. I felt I had a deadline to meet.

I had emailed back the resume to my friend in Microsoft Word.

My friend Yann had applied a job at the call center working from home. Yann was telling me she is not good enough to speak English. I was telling her based on her sample of what she gave me she speak well enough for customers to understand.

Yann just need practice to speaks well enough and not have a slang while talking. Yann was telling sometimes she cannot understand why a different dialect is a caller when they explain on the phone. 

You will come across people their dialect is deep and the way they talk is hard to hear.

I gave Yann a short cut on aberration common used when you're talking to someone to understand what letter they are letting you know.

There are times Yann feels frustrated. I keep telling her at least you have a job that pays well enough to work at home. 

I have a best friend who I keep asking to look for a job we began listing what experience she has to narrow it out what job she can apply for my way to give a push.

Sometimes you don't realize you're English is Better than Others only when they begin talking to you.

For a person who grew up in California and English being her first language it is common to keep talking even though you live in the Philippines.

I may sound slang the way I talk but people say I talk too fast. I've heard other people talk fast when I am watching videos in Facebook doing their vlog. I don't think I am alone just the way we talk seem we're in a hurry.

No matter if I live in the Philippines my English is better from all my friends. I speak English at home. Even though I may have slight slang tone in my voice I am still Americanize.
