JUST COMMERCE

A civilian person cannot really fully comprehend the important role of a soldier;as it is, the U.S. soldiers have been involved in the fight against injustice and oppression, for as long as we all can remember. Their Call of Duty extends as far as the Middle East, the U.N. organization and other international territories. Thankfully there is a way that we can show our support and gratitude for their sacrifice;by wearing Patriotic Shirts or American Flag Shirts. Wherever you are in the world and even if you're not an American citizen, you can purchase these originally designed Patriotic Shirts and by doing so, you will be donating to a cause. The American Hero T-Shirt company is donating $5 for each shirt sold, to help the surviving families of the soldiers who either died or were handicapped from performing their service. It is a fact that the U.S. is the greatest country and it would be both an honor and a pride to wear the American Flag Shirts anywhere.I think these shirts can also make for ideal gifts for any occasion As for me, I would rather choose to display a shirt promoting hope and patriotism, than wear perverted and obscene messages. Let's support American troops and their families by wearing American Hero T-shirts.

Luigi's Coffee Bar
As it is, on weekday mornings after I've taken my daughter to her school I usually drop by for a cup of cappuccino and 'bomba'(a donut without a hole) at Luigi's Bar which is right by the fleamarket. I remember last month I asked if he ever has a 'bomba' with chocolate inside and he said he never had a choco flavor of it. Then came the harsh snowing days when schools and some public transportations were either reduced or suspended,so we basically stayed at home for almost two weeks. Then this week when I returned he asked me right away 'Cappuccino with choco 'bomba'? So I was glad to see that he responds to customer demand even it it's singular.

The Chinese Miscellaneous Retail Store
On occasion of the carnival festivities where people especially kids, dress in themed costumes like Spiderman,Snow White etc.,my five-year old daughter doesn't want to be left behind with the customs,although she originally wished to dress like Aurora of Sleeping Beauty or Arielle The Little Mermaid,we were left with no other choice but the white costume of The Snow Princess but we didn't have enough money at hand.So I asked the owner if I could take the item and return the balance I owe which was only €3.Thankfully the owner conceded.

At the bank
Last Friday I also went to the bank to withdraw some money from my husband's account.The good thing is that I don't have to fill-up any form but just by showing my face the clerks know that I'm there in behalf of my husband who they personally know. I just have to say how much I need and sign the receipt and on my way I go.
These are only some of the tidbits that happened to me during the recent days.I thank GOD for HIS grace.

Light update only,for today: I guess, all or most kids want to show off to their playmates. Even in their school, once a week the little ones are allowed to bring to school their most favorite toy,not that they don't have toys in their classroom.On the contrary they're full with toys and books and many educational materials that train them for the real life,like they have mini-kitchen, mini-house. She sometimes would tell me if she played the 'waitress',at school they're trained to serve tables during the meals. Kids as small as three years old are already taught the main domestic chores or social ethics.To help the smaller ones and have the attitude of sharing. One Friday, she asked me to carry this small kit and I didn't have the time to see what were in it. Just a few days ago, I was amused to see all the colorful things that she cared to include in her purse;a hand lotion, her shades, her hand-knit coin purse,kiddie make-up kit, and 'fancy' necklaces. To be honest,when I was around her age I didn't have much to enjoy and now, I'm thankful for GOD's blessings that enable us to give fancy things for our daughter to enjoy.
