Halloween Costume Ideas

Halloween is just around the corner so I  thought to share these photos that might help you decide what to wear for this year. 

I seriously had went to a Halloween Party at one time only, yes, just one time in my 40 plus 8 years on earth,  and  that was year 2019 with my co workers. And because of  Covid 19 virus, I was too scared to attend the following year. 

My costume is not popular but I thought I nailed it, yeah alright, lol! I am the Bat woman :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

I honestly have forgotten or have no idea on the name of the costumes my friends and co-workers are wearing except the Dark Angel costume and Alice in Wonderland :)

 

Thank you for visiting my blog!

 

Have a good one!

Five Years and Counting at Round Mountain Gold Corporation!

 Cheers!

For many years, it had been my dream to be a part of  Round Mountain Gold Corporation family. Hubby had worked in the company for almost 10 years but decided to move to Winnemucca when my kids and I arrived from the Philippines thinking there are more opportunities over there. I was able to convince him to go back to Round Mountain and thankfully, he got rehired.

Now, I am celebrating my 5th year in RMGC!  Thanks to my husband! And thanks to my Filipino friends Mary Rose and Mona (they are sisters) for their support. And most of all, thanks to the Lord God above. It was truly by grace and I am very thankful and grateful.

I started working in the General Store which is owned by the mine. I worked at the Meat Department and mind you, I got to learn how to cut rump roast, hahaha! Also, I had been able to identify different cuts of steaks. Thanks to my mentors, Mr. John my Manager at that time and  Justin who is now working in the IT Department, also in RMGC. And not only that, I got to try all kinds of cheeses (smoked Gouda became my favorite) and deli meats! And I got to meet all the people in the community and being a people person, that made me really happy. I liked the job but I wanted to work  "inside" the mine for more money and for a greater challenge. 

As soon as I got my first year anniversary in the company, I applied at the Assay Lab. Yes, we are allowed to find another job from different department after a year. The interview was tough, it was nerve wracking because it was a panel interview. I remember the Ore Processing Manager asked me about Mathematics. I answered, "Math was not my favorite subject back in high school and college, I am not really good at it because I don't like numbers, but I am sure in the Assay Lab, I could use calculator when needed." I thought that was the dumbest answer the interviewer has ever heard, hahaha!  Thankfully, I got hired! And the rest is history.

I am looking forward to more 5 years and another 5 years, and another 5 years onward!

Happy 5th to me!

Thank you for taking time to read my blog. 

 

I appreciate it. 

 

Have a good one!

Since summer months are time for fun under the sun, make sure to take the proper steps to protect yourself and your family. Skin cancer is not that bad when caught at an early stage so have your Doctor check for signs of skin cancer.  Wear 50 SPF or more before going outside.

Skin cancer facts:

More than 90 percent of all skin cancers are found on parts of the body that get the most sun: face, neck,ears, hands, and arms.

Those who have had severe or many sunburns are at higher risk.

Skin Cancer Detection:ABCDE

Asymmetry: One half doesn't match the other half.

Border Irregularity: The edges of a mole or growth are ragged, notched, or blurred.

Color: The pigmentation of a mole is not uniform. Shades of tan, brown, and black are present.

Diameter: The mole or skin growth is larger than 6mm (0.2 in), or about the size of a pencil eraser. Any growth of a mole should be of concern.

Evolution: There is a change in the size, shape, symptoms (such as itching or tenderness), surface (especially bleeding), or color of a mole.
