Sepia Saturday - Typewriters And Office Clerks

10 comments

Joining Sepia Saturday's Typewriters : Writing : Words blog hop this week.


Typewriters have always been a part of our extended family. It has been a necessity in my mother's family to learn how to type - and to earn part-time from this skill. All my uncles, aunts and my mother learned to type correctly without glancing at the typewriter keys to check for mistakes and to type fast! (I still wonder how they did it) The typewriter was regarded in the family as an instrument that helped each and everyone of them through college while they worked part-time to support themselves.

It is understandable for the elders in our family to encourage me and my cousins to learn stenography and typing as a valuable skill.  And when I attended a typing class, I tried to type words the way my folks do and it sure worked well after much practice. Glad I didn't just get stuck on typing "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." over and over. Thankfully, we now have the computer keyboard which makes typing words so quick and easy!

This week on Sepia Saturday, I can simply feature my mother when she was working as a clerk/secretary at the Philippine Consulate in Hamburg. She began working there in October 22,1963. The photo below was taken at their office around December that year. I wonder if that is a typewriter on the desk behind them.





Here was my mom and her friend, Charito Delarmente. I still remember her friend, from all her stories as I was growing up, that is why I know her complete name. Last we heard of Ms. Delarmente was in 1988, when she worked back here in the Philippines at the Department Of Foreign Affairs.


Above: Here's my mother's business card which she kept in a scrap book.


Above is an old photo of Alemar's where she used to work during college in the 60s




This old manual office desktop tool was manufactured by the Royal Typewriter Co., Inc. from New York, USA (1939-1959); same brand as the one used by Ernest Hemingway himself.

Health Benefits Of Goji Berry Juice

1 comment
Countless benefits of fruit juices have been promoted for overall health and wellness. Despite the availability of various over-the-counter drugs and supplements, fruit juices are still the preferred means of getting an extra energy boost. The goji berry juice is the latest addition to the long list of so-called super-drinks that have gained the recognition of many health experts. Celebrities like Madonna, Elizabeth Hurley, and Gene Simmons are said to include goji berries in their diet for its health properties. Enhanced immune system, anti-fatigue effects, weight-loss, and free radical prevention are some the primary health benefits of goji berry juice.

Many stories throughout time have been talked about the goji berry juice benefits. The goji berry traces its origins in the valleys of the Himalayas, China, and Mongolia. This berry is known in Asia as a very nutritious food and have been used as part of traditional Chinese medicine for about 2,000 years because of its natural health benefits. Goji berry juice are said to contain many antioxidants, vitamins, and other nutrients. Several Chinese studies show that the goji berries are rich in antioxidants and other components that have the ability to eliminate the development of many forms of cancer. It said to contain 19 amino acids that help improve metabolism, regulate blood pressure, and control body weight. These essential amino acids also help fight premature aging.

Traditional health benefits of goji juice include the following: 

Strengthens the heart and alleviate heart palpitations

Fights insomnia and forgetfulness

Contains polysaccharides which control the pituitary glands that produce HGH (human growth hormone) which is a powerful anti-aging hormone

Can be used by pregnant women to alleviate morning sickness

Can help improve sexual performance

Boosts the function of the immune system

Has some anti-cancer properties and has been successfully used to treat hepatitis-B

Has been used successfully for weight loss

Helps the body detox, cleans the blood and build the immune system



The health benefits of goji berry juice have been reflected in many medical conditions. This juice may help control obesity, age-related macular degeneration, restore hair color, improve the immune system, treat sexual dysfunction and infertility. Studies show that people who added goji berry juice to their daily food regimen experience a sense of well-being.

Many nutrition books have suggested that the goji berry juice is one of the most significant discoveries in decades. Because of the anti-aging and other health benefits of this juice it has gained superiority among many kinds of juice. This juice may increase energy vitality and lead to improved overall health and well-being.

However, it is important to make sure that one’s goji berry juice contain berries from the Himalayan regions to make sure that these berries contain the polysaccharides that are thought to be the key to the health benefits the goji berry may provide. Many versions of this drink are not 100% goji juice and may contain apple or grape juice. To receive its health benefits, 100% pure Himalayan juice should be consumed.

Music Monday - Shower Me With Your Love

No comments


Happy Music Monday, dear friends! Am joining this week's blog hop with one of my favorite songs from the late '80s :)



My heart is filled with so much love
And I need someone I can call my own
To fall in love, that's what everyone's dreaming of
I hold this feeling, oh, so strong

Life is too short to live alone
Without someone to call my own
I will care for you, you will care for me
Our love will live forever

Shower me with your love
Shower me with the love that I long for
Shower me with your love
Shower me with the love I've been waiting for

I close my eyes and pray all my wishes come true
Every night I go to sleep
Until you're mine, I'll wait for you endlessly
Can't you see

Fairy tales, they do sometimes come true
If you believe, it could happen to you
Like the stars that shine way up in the sky
Our love will live forever

Shower me with your love
Shower me with the love that I long for
Shower me with your love
Shower me with the love I've been waiting for

Like the stars that shine way up in the sky
Our love will live forever
Live forever

Shower me with your love
Shower me with the love that I long for
Shower me with your love

Shower me with the love I've been waiting for
Shower me with your love
Shower me with the love I've been waiting for

Jackson, Bernard Leon


Users Of Royale Health Products Before And After Photos

From a parent (Royale client) This is a skin disorder that my child experienced. He had boils not only on his neck but also on his head. We took him to a doctor who prescribed an antibiotic. His skin became better but after sometime the boils would return and getting worse. It was a problem for me because I didn't know how to get rid of the boils for good. My boy was suffering so much. So I thought of my upline and asked what Royale product can be taken to treat scabs and boils on the skin and she recommended Richarge.  Praise God it works! Thanks upline! More power to Royale.
Until this time we continue to take this herbal beverage because it is good for health. I have read plenty of testimonials about Richarge's amazing benefits.
