I Will Never Forget

.....the day I became a US Citizen. September 14,2010 was the very day I never thought America would open its door for me to be equal in all rights, duties and responsibilities in this country.. There were 55 countries and 92 candidates to be naturalized that day including me. It was such an awesome experience for me!

The countries got the most number of candidates were Mexico and India. As for the Philippines, there were only two of us. Can you imagine the number of people who become citizens everyday in all 50 states?
.....photo above is the officer explaining what how we should properly sign our name in the certificate and the do's and don'ts of handling it...the one below is of us falling in line about to submit or surrender our Green Card or what we call Permanent Resident Card to the USCIS officers...

Better Gaming Experience

I guess all of us want the best of everything or we want to have better things that we deserve right? It is the same thing as to where you could find the best online casinos. If you play casinos a lot for sure, you know what are those top rated sites for gaming on the internet as well as sites that could give you benefits aside from the fun you are going to experience once you play online. Why would you want to play on a website where you don't even comfortable browsing the page? And besides, you are looking for easy fun to gamble, might as well choose the best online casino sites that you can play on.

With Amex casinos, you will be assured for a better gaming experience and you know why many online gamblers are choosing to play in Amex Casinos. For they built a strong following among people looking for a solid credit line backed by excellent customer service. Where else can you find no deposit casino bonus? No other website will offer you such a huge benefit than Amex.

Try navigating on their website. You will find their top Amix Casinos. You will also find how easy it is to use their website and take note, the various ways of payments in which you can send in your payments in order to get your game started.

Weird Signs

Below pictures are of my husband and the baby. These were taken outside the USCIS parking lot when we went there 4 weeks ago. My husband wanted his pictures taken by the weird signs probably for remembrance? As you see it, all parking spots with signs in it are vacant. Nobody parked their car in those spots, I wonder why? And why would a government agency put such signs?
.....the sign says RESERVED PARKING
LOW-EMITTING/FUEL EFFICIENT VEHICLES ONLY

Noise Filtration

Students often get distracted by the noise alone they can hear outside their classroom. In a school like we have in the Philippines, where all windows and doors are open all the time, you could hear all kinds of noise coming from the outside. With this being said, students could easily get distracted from what they hear.

Based in my own experience, I remember vividly that it was hard to focus on what the teacher say due to the fact that I lost concentration to the teacher. Noise is the cause of all those troubles I have had when I was in school.

Those times or until now where classroom audio systems, classroom amplification or the plenum rated amplifier weren't/aren't available. One Summer I had a teacher carrying a small speaker and a microphone with her whenever she visit each classroom and she used it in order for her to deliver to her students a clear classroom audio. I thought that was silly.

For information on what amplifiers and audio systems do in the classroom is that to have a powerful classroom audio system that is easily concealed. Educational environments with data projectors need classroom amplification systems that provide clear, powerful sound without taking up excess room. This product fills that need without sacraficing power or clarity.
It also uses advanced noise filtration to eliminate interference that may be present in classroom audio systems.

Blood Stew or Dinuguan

I forgot I bought a tray of pork blood at the Asian market last month. I thawed it already thinking that I could make a dish out of it today. I don't have other ingredients for blood stew or what we call Dinuguan, might as well make use of my pork blood. I am still gonna go ahead and make the said dish to contain my craving for it.

Take Your Gaming To A Whole New Level

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

If the genie would show up in front of me right now, I would only ask for one thing for my wish to come true. I want a Playstation Move so bad. I have been wanting this for quite sometime now only I cannot tell it to my husband.

I know when I want something, I want to get it no matter what it takes. Since our wedding anniversary is drawing near, perhaps asking for a Playstation Move from him wouldn't be so bad. With Playstation Move, the entire family would enjoy it. Not only we will have fun but it also keeps us all active. It will be the source of our family's greatest exercise, I think.

Playstation Move is taking gaming it to a whole new level. It redefines motion gaming with the most immersive and realistic gaming experience only possible on the PlayStation 3 system. It has an easy-to-use controller captures a full range of motion giving you ultimate control over how you play the game. With various selection of games, we will be able to enjoy long hours of fun with my family and friends. So now I guess you understand why I am itching to get one for us?

And since we already have our Playstation 3, all we need now are the gaming accessories and the game itself. For only $99, we can bring motion gaming exclusively to our existing PlayStation 3 with the MOVE bundle package! How exciting and how sweet it is to be able to have the MOVE at last.

My Ideal Vacation





Your Ideal Island Vacation is Fiji





On an island vacation, you prefer to get the full beach experience.

And for you, that means staying somewhere with few people and lots of beach.

With over 300 islands, you can find your own private spot in Fiji.

Relax by the crystal clear water, or venture off to find a waterfall.
What's Your Ideal Island Vacation?

I love the beach. I grew up surrounded by beaches just about ten minutes away from them. Oh how I missed the beach. I cannot wait to go home and soak myself in the seawater all day long. I don't mind getting dark as long as I can fulfill my desire again, to be in the beach once again, that is.
But anyway, talking about my ideal vacation, I want it to be spent in a private resort where there's only me, my husband and our baby so we can be ourselves not being bothered by anyone else. There is something about the beach that I love so much.

I love how the small waves kissing the white sands, I love the crystal glare of the sun in the middle of the ocean and most of all I love the idea how unfathomable the depth of the ocean is. It's like you can dream anything you want and send your mind the farthest it can go, after all dreaming is limitless and free.

Where To Buy Gold Bullion

Talking about gold, shiny and sparkling gold bullion is what comes to our mind first. If you plan to buy gold bullion you know you can only purchase it at a reliable source. Buy it at United States Gold Bureau. Aside from gold bullion, you can also purchase silver or other precious metals and coins for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository. If you prefer silver over gold, you can buy it in ingot form for it is available also. Ingots are generally silver ingots of pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape.

Stunts At The Little Gym

Here are photos of our little girl at the little gym assisted by her daddy. We take turns every weekend as to who is going to assist Jadyn inside the gymnasium because I tell you what? It takes a lot of hardwork for our girl to be able to do all the exercises her instructor wants her to do.

Looking at these stunts here, I can't believe she is actually doing it. She is so tiny and tender doing those. But yeah, she needs to do them anyway.






Mobile Receiver Just For You

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

Most accidents that involve teenage drivers are caused by distracted driving. In some places here in Texas especially in the school zone area they prohibit the use of cellphones and I love the idea. Teenagers are just not thinking straight when it comes to texting and driving. They don't realize the danger it brings to them and to other people's lives.

On the other hand, I am in favor of using phones while in the car as long as you are not the one driving. If you are looking for a device that you can control with the use of a remote, then Dual Electronics is best use to enhance your lifestyle, music enjoyment and communication. This is just the exact mobile receiver for everyone who wants to pimp their rides.  If you want to increase your cool factor and show off to your friends what you got, you have to buy this XDMA6630 and enjoy the ultimate car audio experience wherever you go.

This latest mobile receiver which is the XDMA6630 which is a single, in-dash CD/MP3/WMA receiver, 240 watts, head unit that features built-in Bluetooth that gives you high speed functionality, direct USB connection for iPhones® and iPods, a detachable face and a wireless remote control.

Rain Pouring Heavily

I woke up quite early than my usual waking time. I looked at the clock and it was only 7:44 in the morning. Well, in Texas, at 7 the sun is already up and shining brightly on us but that isn't the case today. There was only very thin light that penetrates into our bedroom drapes. I thought the clock must be mistaken or is giving us incorrect time for it was really dark.

Anyhow, I stood up and went straight to the computer/study room only to find that the world is really dark. We have been having a heavy downpour probably since dawn or who knows maybe last night when we went to bed....and the rain continues pouring until now which give me an idea that there could be a slim chance we gonna get some sun today.

I am not complaining though, I like it when it rains and when it's dark too for a change. Texas has plenty of sunshine so a little bit change of weather is quite amusing.

Learn More About Multiple Sclerosis

To those who wonder about the disease called Multiple Sclerosis, here is a precise definition for you of course it is lifted from the internet and I posted it here.
What is Multiple Sclerosis? Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the Central Nervous System (CNS) - that's the brain and spinal cord. Predominantly, it is a disease of the "white matter" tissue. The white matter is made up of nerve fibres which are responsible for transmitting communication signals both internally within the CNS and between the CNS and the nerves supplying rest of the body.

The only person I know who has it is the famous t.v personality, Montel Williams. I have seen his shows from the past a couple times and just by looking at him, he doesn't look or act like he is suffering with so much pain. It was until he appeared on Oprah and telling the people how he had suffered throughout the years. Yes, he has the money and he receives ample MS treatment but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel the pain. He in fact stated that he even has or following the Multiple Sclerosis Diet that his doctor ordered him to do. I pity him because I know how it feels to have an illness that cannot be cured. Yes, you can relieve the symptoms but medications won't totally get rid of the disease.

Fort Worth Water Garden

I can go back to the water garden in downtown over and over again without getting tired of it it's because it's so refreshing there. It's the kind of place you wanna go to when you want to think of serious things for it takes away sadness and stress. The sound of the water is therapeutic and most of all the clean and green surroundings of the area make you want to stay there for one whole day.

I love it there, can't you tell? I love its tranquility and most of all, the beautiful landscape are enough reasons why you should come visit Fort Worth Water Garden. Ah not to mention, it is free of charge. It won't cost you a dime when you visit there.


Work In Progress

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



We've had several friends came over to our house a few times already and one thing they notice first once they enter the house is the dark walls in our living room. We only told them that painting job is still in progress. We have painted three bedrooms, two bathrooms and the hallway with light blue and green colors. Next area we should paint is the living room to make it more inviting for our visitors.

Next time we buy paint, we would like to try a different brand and see the effect it gives to the darkest part of the house. Glidden paint brand as what I have heard can be a good option since it has some paint testers that we can buy and try it out on our natural dark wood walls. What makes Glidden's paint testers unique from other brands is that, they have a handy brush included in the lid which allows us to try out the actual paint color before committing to buy all the paint necessary for our project.

We didn't try using a tester before but next time we work in the living room, we make it sure that we will, otherwise we will be wasting our money for buying paint and we don't want it.

If you are looking forward to starting a project, coloring your bedroom walls or other parts of your house too, please visit: http://bit.ly/bjLb2u to find colors that you like and some fast ideas to get your project started.

Jadyn's School

The Little Gym is a proud sponsor of public television. On tv is where we found this awesome club for our little beast. If not because of its fun advertisement, we would have not discovered that it is located just a few miles from here.

We love going to this place and so as our girl because the staff are friendly, the gym itself is a fun place to be because they have colorful mats and equipment that encourage young ones to discover, learn and develop their social skills that prepares them to a brighter future.

Fall's Hottest Entertainment

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



I have heard so much about our very own Filipino talent will be the guest of Glee. I guess I missed that episode already since it has been shown in the Philippines. I wished I knew when Glee is going to be aired or what specific day the show is on so I can just use our TiVo to record it when it starts.

On the other hand, I am thankful that we have this recorder. TiVo is not just a DVR. We use TiVo to find our favorite TV programs and movies. We just had it recently and we bought it used and it's memory has been upgraded by the first owner for a larger recording capability. With that being said, we are much happier we use TiVo because it saves us money instead of subscribing to a cable service provider. Not only that, we will also be able to watch programs, our most anticipated Fall TV Premieres of course with the use of a TiVo.

If you are using one, please visit them on Facebook Fan Page and become their fan just like me. Or you may Enter to Win a new TiVo Slide in the "30 Slides in 30 Days" Sweepstakes. It ends 9/22/10 so you must hurry!

Social Skill Has Developed

I don't regret sending off our daughter to the Little Gym for it has greatly improved her social skill. I can tell the big difference before and after just 4 weeks of going there. Before, she wouldn't even know how to approach or play with other kids, she tend to be shy and just play alone by herself in one corner. Unlike now, Jadyn would be the one to initiate making friends with other kids her age no matter where she is. In fact, she would come to them and just touch other kids gently wearing her sweetest smile...she is making other kids shy while she waits for them saying hi back so comfortably.




Granite Sinks

I am waiting for that very day when we can finally replace our ancient sink in the kitchen. The sink itself looks awful that no matter how I scrub and clean it, it would still be looking old and gross aside from the fact that its color is yellow. I am looking at granite sinks today and amazing how I fell in love with the products right away. The prices are a little bit costly but at least if we can have the money, we will be able to afford it.

Jackfruit Smell In The Kitchen

I bought a whole jackfruit at the Asian Market last Saturday. It was so tempting that I couldn't help but buy me one. But then when we got home I realized I have too much for myself even though the one I got is the smallest size in the store still it's too big for me to eat alone. So I invited friends over to help me out with this one. For sure they are excited about my jackfruit for I know they love it too. Aside from the fact that they have not eaten the fruit for a long time, this fruit is so sweet and very aromatic too that it smells strong in the kitchen.

Motorcycle Gear

I always thought riding in a motorcycle would be cool. But unfortunately my husband's passion for motorcycles has long been gone. He used to have a motorcycle back when he was younger. I remember he told me he crossed country just using his motorcycle battling with snow and cold temperatures across United States. I was like, what you kidding me? But no, he was serious about it and he really did it. What an adventure that was.

If only I could experience riding in a motorcycle and wear a perfect gear for it, a jacket for one of any of these brands namely joe rocket, Fieldsheer, Cortech, a helmet, a pair of gloves, pants, saddlebags and many more.

If you are reading this right now and are in need of a complete gear for your ride, you have come to the perfect place when you visit those links listed above. They got great and good quality products and good customer service. Search over 100,000 products including exhaust, accessories, luggage, tires, boots and check out the new arrivals so you will be the first one to see the latest trend in motorcycle apparel.

My Favorite Infomercial

Author: Dorsey Velasquez

First off, I am not the kind of person who usually watches any infomercials.

But, one afternoon after I'd switched to a satellite dish from directtv I got to see one of the most fun and informative infomercials around, which has become my favorite infomercial ever!

There was this gadget being demonstrated by this guy with a really nice British accent.

I thought, "This looks like a cute little gizmo.".

I'm not sure if I can actually mention the product, but, let's just say it works like "Magic" and is shaped like a big "Bullet"!

The people they have in their infomercials are people I feel I can relate to; they're not "zombie-like" actors who only repeat the same phrases over and over, they have a positive personality that works well with the British Pitchman they've gotten to demonstrate the best little blender/chopper/mixer I've ever had the pleasure of using!

When I sat down to watch "The Magic Bullet Show" (my favorite infomercial), I was able to see the great things it can do! I literally got to see Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and afternoon snacks being made inside of a half an hour! I never would have imagined that!

I always enjoy watching my favorite infomercial because I can't wait to see the new products they have to go with it!

Shitty Attitude

The whole day yesterday I had a very calm,quiet, peaceful mind and most of all happy. day It was like that for one full day until the last hour before I go to bed. I was online and all of the sudden this girl I know so much popped up in my window calling me "HOY". Being called like that I felt disrespected for it was not the first time she called me that when she wants to chat with me on YM. Every time she clicks on my name her greeting would be like that.

The other night she clicked on me with the same message..then I replied to her . Then she got silent for a couple of minutes, I then asked her if she was still there...she then replied saying ...pasted below is the actual copy of our chat the previous night..

Now can you blame me if I get into fight with someone who doesn't show any respect to me??

Need A New Kitchen Sink

We need a total kitchen makeover not just our Kitchen Sink but the whole area itself because it is too inconvenient for us especially the cabinets. We put all our pans in a drawer which everytime we use them, we have to bend over and dig inside so we can see the one we want to use. The cabinets got some stains on them, the ones above the stove have thick grease from frying foods and the color has changed over the years.

So for that, when we receive the money that my husband inherited from his father, we plan of spending it all in the house. For the time being, I just have to be contented of looking at Kitchen Sinks online to look for a model that could fit in our kitchen.

Protect Your Hands

I used to have very rough hands, covered with thick callouses just because I did most things around the house with my bare hands and take note, I did not even care wearing a pair of work gloves. Back then, I didn't know I have rough hands until Sandy came along. We held hands and I noticed his, being a man were soft while I, on the other hand had a pair of hands like that of a construction worker. It took me a while before I could say my hands were softer, I used lotion a lot and most of all I didn't have the need to work with things manually because everything here in America is easy and with the use of electricity.

God Bless The USA by Lee Greenwood



This song is stuck in my mind. I keep humming it right now. For some reasons its message struck me the most when it was being played in the oath taking ceremony yesterday in USCIS office. God knows how I tried to hold my tears the whole time I was there. I didn't want anybody to see me being so emotional. I was so touched, proud, happy, blessed and all those positive emotions in me were running all over me. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A!!

Bridal Reality Never Looked so Good

This guest post from Werner Rogers

After spending a year planning my wedding I have become a fan of bride reality shows. My favorite to date is Bridezillas. The brides on this show takes wedding demands to a completely different level. There is one episode that I remember the most. One bride ordered a vanilla wedding cake from a local bakery. She then changes her mind and decided on chocolate. The bakery accommodated her change and worked for ten hours baking a beautiful three tiered wedding cake. When the bride came to taste a sample of her cake she decided she no longer wanted chocolate and began to yell and scream at her cake consultant. Though I thought that was completely obnoxious what she did next left me speechless. In a screaming rage she slammed her hand down into the cake saying she wanted vanilla and stormed out of the bakery.

I had never seen anything like that before and was oddly pulled in to watch more. I love bridezillas because you never know what to expect next from a stressed out bride. My favorite part about the program, which I found one day browsing on my satellite tv I ordered from www.direc4u.com is that each bride acts really mean in the beginning of the show. However, they are a heap of wet tears by the shows in. I am now addicted to bridal reality television.

Seek Help

When you feel like the world is on your shoulders and you are heavily burdened by it, when you feel like there is no hope, turn around and seek help. There is still hope for you if you yourself will help yourself with Opiate Withdrawal. An online website is dedicated dedicated to helping those who have an opiate addiction take the “First Step” towards recovery. The website also features information on opiate addiction and withdrawal along with an opiate withdrawal nutritional supplement system that can help you quit opiates.

Facebook Rocks!

I have been saying this from the past that Facebook rocks! It bridges the gap between people who live across the world. Through it, we are able to communicate with family and friends in just a click away. Not only that it enables us to reconnect with those that made quite a memory in our lives.

I am grateful I am on Facebook. I found friends I used to hangout with back in elementary, highschool and college days. Most of all, I also reconnected with my long lost cousin who just left Cebu without saying a word, that was when she was only 13 or 14 years old. Now she is 27. Recently I searched for this girl, a close buddy of mine in AMA before and yes! Miracle works for us because she happened to have an account there too.

I searched on her first name and it showed a result, I then sent her a private message saying if she is the girl I used to laughed and hangout with in college, please respond. To my surprise, she responded right away and now we are back in contact with her. How lucky I am???

Things To Do In Kissimmee

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


I have always been a full-time homemaker. I got here in America over four years ago and since then I have never tried working outside the house. I do paid blogging yes and I consider it as my part time job. There is money in blogging I tell you but sometimes I can't help but wish I worked with other people too.

But anyway, I have no complain being a stay-at-home mom and wife because it is such a fulfilling job. I just have to enjoy and savor every moment spent with my family for I know someday I want go out and find me a job too. For sure I am going to miss those times when I had all the time to rest and relax at home.

Always staying in the house most of the week can be very tiring too, that is when my homesickness strikes. I think I deserve to have an adventure too. I know myself very well, I can be so adventurous when given a chance plus I love traveling a lot. I have only been to a few states like Iowa once, California twice and once in Oklahoma. The next state that I would like to see is Florida. I want to bring my baby in Disney World and Gatorland you know?

And since Disney World is located in Kissimmee, it would be our chance to go roam around the area and explore what the place has to offer, that if we will be able to make it to Florida in the next months. I heard so much about Kissimmee before. It is the Heart of Florida. Next to Orlando which is very accessible to everything including the beaches, theme parks, outdoors, relaxation and many others. Zip-lining and horse back riding are two of the most anticipated activities I want to do there. How about you guys, where would you want to have a vacation if you are given a chance? What sort of things you would want to do aside from going to the beach? Please plan your vacation soon and visit this website for a fun and adventurous vacation ahead. Site is HERE.

Silly!

I thought it was a thug driving this pick up truck with big wheels, for they are the only ones who do that but no, it was a white guy and an Air Force lolz. My husband finds it silly seeing trucks like this. Why would they spend so much on the tires just to show off how cool they are? An online friend says that it is popular where he lives and there are many of these trucks running in the state of Vermont.

You Are No Safe

Texas weather is as fickle as a woman's mind. It would be sunny by the time you wake up and next thing you know it's raining. Recently, 7 tornadoes touched down in North Texas. So if you think you are safe where you live, you are wrong. Tornadoes won't choose as to what area they are going to hit. That is why getting a house insurance for homeowners is a must and that is why all roofing companies including Austin Texas Roofing put up their business to help damaged roofs restored right away. Do you live in Austin and looking for a roofing company? Do you inquiry on the link above.

Nursing Home

If you live in the DFW area and are looking for a nursing home for your loved one, try to look around or might as well visit directly the Independent Living Dallas. We could have visited this place if only we were able to move our dear father Morgan closer to us when he was still alive. Unfortunately, he died not liking his last home.

Beautiful Picture of My Family

Our life is simple but what makes it grand is that we both raise our daughter with love and joy. My husband is such a great dad that he is always there showing his all out support when it comes to his daughter.

He also loves to play with her when he's not busy or just spend quality time with Jadyn when he can. I love how he loves our daughter, I like how he is taking care of the family and for that I feel blessed!

<------ was taken at the small playground in the Freedom House in San Antonio, Texas... this is the place we used to go often to visit my father-inlaw.

Looking For A Date?

We all have different stories why we choose to marry someone outside our race or ethnicity. Some will reason out to have a mixed baby, others will say they are more comfortable dating opposite sex with different looks. Some people too love to date with someone whom they believe have the same level geek dating intelligence as they have or someone who have the same interest with them and the like. Whatever those reasons are, they only come to one place looking to date singles online and that would be geek dating.

Smart Baby

Smart is my baby, no one should argue with that. I am the mother and I can certainly say Jadyn is a smart one, not to mention a very good girl since she was born.

In this photo, as you can see she is busy forming a long line of tiles using dominoes. In the beginning she formed a cross and she pointed out "Mommy look! It's Jesus", she associated the cross sign as Jesus and then she continued lining the tiles until she created a very long line of it.

Austin Will Lawyer

We are waiting on the Will execution for we simply want to appreciate what my FIL left for us but for some reason, the brother who is the trustee seemed to forget us while he on the other hand enjoying his part. It has been almost three months since FIL passed away yet we haven't heard anything about the Will. I asked my husband if he can write the Austin Will Lawyer that his brother is hiring because maybe..just maybe he knows something about the date or the time as to when is it gonna be executed.

Attractive Banners

Wherever I go I could see signs or banners from people who want to promote their products along the roads this include garage sale signs, for sale/rent signs and many others. I notice that other people are putting out advertisement that is so poorly done. If you want to attract customers, why not use outdoor vinyl banners that are attractive and reliable enough that could withstand the harsh weather instead of putting out trashy and small letter signs which could only give your prospect customers a bad impression on to something that you are trying to sell. I have seen a lot of those around this area and I was thinking, these are the kind of people who aren't thinking straight. They give a bad impression to the kind of stuff they are trying to sell, you know?

Summer Girl by LFO (Lyte Funkie Ones)



I would have not remembered watching one of my favorite boy bands' music videos entitled "Summer Girls" if I didn't read on the news about Rich Cronin's passing last night. Watching the video brings back good old memories way back in high school. Watching music videos like theirs somehow gave me encouragement to find me a better man someday for they looked so good and I was already very much attracted with Americans back then. Weeewww my favorite LFO member was Brad Fischetti for he was so dashingly handsome to my eyes.

The Artist

Hessam Artist is an artist whose master pieces can be seen on the link on his name. Try to look at them because they are all beautiful. His dynamic dynamic compositions, powerful expressions, and vibrant colors have captured viewers around the world with their amazing depth and unique intrigue.

Dining Room Chairs

We do believe we have too much furniture in this house since all of my late father inlaw's furniture are with us but to our surprise, a decent set of Dining Room Chairs are lacking. How could that be? I don't know what happened to his dining table and chairs in California for I don't see anything in the storage until we took them all out there. Although we have our own dining room chairs but we need a second set for it to put in our dining area eventually when we cleared up this room full of boxes and stuff.

Rich Cronin of LFO Died


It's so shocking to know that one of my favorite boy band members of LFO before Rich Cronin died of leukemia at age 35. So young, so soon to die! Anyone out there who is familiar of LFO boy band? I used to watch these guys on Mtv before..a lot..as in a lot..every time I come home from school in the afternoon I hurriedly turn on our t.v hoping I could see music videos from these guys.

I idolized them because I thought they were so cool, so good looking and very good singers! Now saying a prayer for you my idol! May you rest in peace and God open up the doors of heaven for you! Goodbye!

Rich Cronin of '90s boy band LFO died on Wednesday at age 35, CNN confirms. He passed away in a Massachusetts hospital, according to bandmate Brad Fischetti. Cronin, who wrote and sang the number one smash "Summer Girls," was diagnosed with leukemia in 2005; despite chemotherapy, the disease returned in 2007 and 2008.

Fish Recipes

Nothing is more rewarding than having these mouth-watering Filipino dishes. I love fish a lot. I grew up surrounded by bodies of water and in our place, fish of any kinds were abundant. I wouldn't replace it for a steak.

So speaking of fish, here's what we had this morning. I actually cooked these yesterday and decided to leave some for today. The fried fish is the mackerel which my girl loves so much and the second photo is of my tinolang bangus or boiled milkfish with all the spices and lemon grass to make it more delectable to the mouth.
........these are the kind of foods that could totally ruin my diet, but even so...I still eat them paired with rice...I just have to learn to discipline myself of not eating too much of this when it's late so I could reach my goal of getting rid my unwanted belly fats.

Spreety TV

I spend most of my time on my computer. It's just that I find it so fun browsing on networking sites, working on my blogs, chatting and most of all watching shows on Free TV Online.

7 Tornadoes

Thanks to the fast pace technology America has for it makes everything easy and possible. Detecting a tornado alone, I am amazed at how they inform the community if there is a tornado or a hurricane coming. Through them we were able to see 7 tornadoes touched down near downtown Dallas yesterday. We saw how the thick clouds formed into a twister, get intensified and break down again and move on to another place.

I was able to compare how behind my own country is than America. If it was in the Philippines, we would have not known or seen those twisters captured in camera live on tv. Ah, aren't I lucky to be in America? I have all the privileges a person wants in his or her life.

Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks

I am looking forward to renovating our kitchen sink, replacing it into a
Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink. For now I should look at Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks and see what model I would like to have in our sink.

Straight Teeth

Why is it that people who have nice and straight teeth seem to look attractive? When one smiles at me and I see his nice teeth I would get jealous right away. Although my teeth now are a lot better than before still I am not convinced they are pretty. I have been wearing my braces for one and a half years and I see the dramatic result since I have them on. My orthodontist says that I will be off my braces in two more months. Wow I am excited. If you guys looking forward for a nicer prettier smile, try visiting Austin Invisalign Braces online to see a fuller and affordable treatment they available for you. I tell you, it is worth your grand as the result will be beautiful.

Fruits For Breakfast

I don't have much trust about feeding my girl just fruits for breakfast but according to other people it is good so be it. I am used to feeding her rice but she has difficulty defecating so fruits in the morning will be a big change in her diet.

With fruits Jadyn has no problem eating it. Unlike rice and other stuff I give her, she would only eat 3 teaspoonful of it and she's done. Why is this baby so picky? She has all the foods in the world she can eat but the problem is she doesn't much have appetite eating them.
..... every other morning I give her fruits..on her plate shown in the photos are watermelons which is her favorite, slices of bananas, grapes and strawberries...

LA Movers

If you are relocating to LA area, look for Los Angeles Movers near you so you don't have to do the job when moving, let the professionals do it for you for a more secure and safety transport of your valuable possessions. If you have moved before for sure you know what to do, but for the sake of those who haven't tried it ever, a professional mover to hire will be a good idea.

Recycling

We can help mother nature by recycling our old stuff. Don't just throw them away if you think they are still useful in other way. Or you may go to a company that would recycle them for you like Round 2. Their mission continues to focus on delivering the most comprehensive and competent solutions for handling extreme volumes of electronic scrap for their Fortune 1000 clients.

Helping My Friends

I have been trying to help out with my friends living in the Philippines. If they couldn't find the men they want to be with online, might as well do something worthwhile. Something that will bring some money into their pocket like blog marketing since they do have unlimited internet connection. All they got to do is put up a personal blog, update it everyday until it gets three months old so they can register their blogs to paid blogging sites.

As we all know, blog marketing has been a successful strategy to promote products, services and other types of businesses. It increases exposure to the website itself as well as profitability that is why most advertisers turn to blog marketing nowadays instead of using that traditional way of advertising.

If you are a blogger, you will find it difficult and kind of confusing at first but then once you will know how to tweak and get familiarized with your blogs layout and such, it will just be a peace of cake for you then you will be ready to help others too. I don't mind helping my friends getting into paid blogging as long as they show interest to what I am trying to teach them.

Visited My Late FIL's Girlfriend

I am glad we were able to make it to San Antonio last Friday. There was only one reason why we drove for 5 hours there, just to visit Jean...as you know she is my father-inlaw's girlfriend. Event hough he is no longer around, we still consider Jean as part of the family since she is the last person whom he wanted to marry before he got very ill.

I think Jean was very delighted we came down visited here for she has no one to see her. Her sons are in California and for that we are honored to be in Texas and continues to see this lonely old woman in the future.

...here's them in her apartment looking at family pictures of Morgan Sanborn
..........and here's us in the above photo squeezing in her little sofa...
....here's my husband and Jean, they started looking at the photos at the dining area and finished them in her apartment...

Auto Insurance In Austin

Having a car is a great necessity in America for daily transportation for people to get to their jobs and also to do some errands. Unlike in our home country, possessing a car means you are way ahead from the rest for a lot of people in the Philippines cannot afford to have one. Besides they don't have a space to park the cars in.

So anyway, Americans need to have cars for there are no many public transportations here except for city buses and taxi cabs which could be of so much trouble for some and also it cost so much to ride a taxi in this area. Once a person has a car, he needs to make sure that he has got an insurance for it for it is required by the law to not drive unless you have auto insurance.

If you don't have it and has been looking for an affordable insurance, try searching for cheap auto insurance Austin TX and see if you can find an insurance that best suits your budget. Yeah, some insurance companies charge you a lot but with the help of this link above here, you might find the best deal when it comes to auto insurance.

By the way, before I forget, I am so ready to take my road test again for I have been practicing parallel parking two weekends in a row now. I did the perfect parking at Sears driving school vicinity and for that I am somehow have the courage now to take my second road test. If I fail again this time, I only have one chance left to try it. After that we may have to pay again but at least it isn't major so it's ok. I am not in a hurry though.

She Embarrassed Us

Jadyn loves holding food in her mouth. No matter how hard we try to let her swallow the food but once she decides she just holds it then nothing we can do. We went to her little gym this morning and in the car she was already holding foods. When we arrived I tried to let her spit it out but she wouldn't do it, we just went inside anyway as we were already a minute late.

So we joined the group and started walking when she out of the blue blew the food out with some nuts and saliva mixture in it. It was very embarrassing really. The people in the gym thought Jadyn was sick but no she was not, she just had some food in the mouth that she could no longer hold and puke. That was gross. I make sure it won't happen again as I see to it there'll be nothing in her mouth when she goes to the Little Gym.

Securing Your Website

I was reading a Yahoo article a few seconds ago, it is about where to shop for biggest deals this Labor Day weekend. The writer says it all and I think he has done such a good job in naming which stores to go to get a deal. The article itself received few comments from the readers. One of the commenters is saying that Yahoo needs to do something about the spamming of its site otherwise he'll go somewhere else.

Yeah, I notice the spams in the comment section too. What a waste of time if people would read the spam message as well. What Yahoo needs is the Trust Seal for its website. This trust seal comes from the a company called Sitelock. If the SiteLock certificate is displayed on the web page it increases conversion rates that gives your business instant credibility and trust in the eyes of your clients. I guess all websites popular or not, personal or business sites, all you need is this SiteLock thingy to secure secure your website.

That Much Needed Rain

It's raining and there's thunder and lightning since last night and I consider it to be a blessing. We needed rain badly for the past couple of months and now it's here. We feel a little bit cooler now. In fact, I got the front door open, just using the screen door so I can let the fresh air in and to also listen to the raindrops pouring angrily on the roof.

It's a little change of our climate and I am so loving it. It's refreshing to see the ground so wet, plants have enough plenty of water to drink and most of all no dust. I hope the rain continues to pour in two hours and stops only when we are about to hit the road this afternoon when my husband arrives home from work.

There Should Be Reasons For It

There are a number reasons why people should buy gold coins. One for example is for investment or for emergency purposes. When one is out of cash, they can just sell their gold coins set aside in their safe just so they can have something to use when the need arises. Gold coins? I believe I have seen few of those. I guess what my husband got are gold coins that were left by his father for him. They are real shiny and oh so pretty. I am thankful to his father, if not because of him I would have not seen what gold coins look like in reality. I never thought I could see some real gold coins in my life, why would I? We are just poor and for me poor people don't have a chance to take a glimpse those kind of wealth.

Sharing Popsicle With Her Dog



If Jadyn shared her popsicle to other dogs then it would be so gross but since it was Chichai she shared it with then it's probably fine because we know what our dog is eating and she doesn't go anywhere except in our backyard. Just the idea of she is an inside dog, that should give us an assurance that she is a clean dog. Watch the video embedded and you'll see how generous our Jadyn is for she shares her popsicle with her one and only playmate, doggy.
