--=Ana's Cyber Retreat=-

I was watching TV the other day and learned that the earth is much older than the first scientists have predicted. Thanks to the brilliant mind and ability of a young man in his twenties, he figured out exactly what it takes to be able to tell how old the earth is and everything else like trees, etc. I have not really been paying attention to a lot of scientific shows on TV since I became addicted to the computer...LOL-just kidding. But really, I don't get to watch TV often anymore because I am working online and my hobbies are computer based such as blogging and digital scrapbooking. So I sit in front of the computer more than I do in front of the TV. Now I am beginning to take time and pay attention because I want to learn as I am quite intrigued by how everything evolved.
My husband is, too, by the way, so he always likes to watch educational TV programs. I am glad he is, because even when I am on the computer I can still hear and see the TV, which is like "Killing two birds with one stone". I get to use the computer and watch TV at the same time, and learn some interesting things I never knew before. We all need to be educated, because that is the only way we learn. However, we can’t be manipulated and easily influenced for we have a mind of our own and are able to think for ourselves as well as make our own decision solely based on what each of us think is right. I know I am one; I have a mind of my own, and usually go by what I can fathom or understand and not by what somebody said or think. I am hard to get…LOL. Don’t tell me because I can see, read, and find out for myself. That is my attitude, unless I get lazy and say, “Okay, I take your words for it”. Or that it is something like what the scientists do; studying and discovering the facts and things that make the world go round-which is beyond my ability and comprehension since I am not one of them; a scientist. I can only wish, and imagine that it must be nice to have such brilliant minds like they have.
Alright, let me go back to what I am supposed to be writing about here as I have gone on and on far enough. I wanted to share that I learned how old the earth is. So yeah, would you know it, the Earth is actually 4.05 billion years old now. Isn't it amazing to know that? It fascinates me when I hear things like that, and it just makes me want to learn even more. I am learning about the universe and different planets through the following cable TV channels; History Channel, Discovery Channel, and National Geographic Channel. Wow, it is amazing how earth developed to be the blue and livable planet that it is today. Yep, all the way from having a molten hot lava surface to the way it is now; habitable by humans and animals alike. The earth cooled off and became our Blue Planet. That is why we still have volcanoes.
On the lighter note: I had a laugh reading some comments on a forum about "How The Earth Was Made", and by a few people saying "Sounds like you're approaching it with an open mind"-when someone sounded in disgust, and the other said "Good grief!!!! Scientists actually have opinions and beliefs", and the others saying "how were they able to buy their air time then, and what's stopping you from doing so", "both sides were involved, etc". Well, the fact is, Scientists can only go by facts and possible theories based on facts, if nothing else. Oh, those shows are, indeed, captivating.

Talking about watches, my husband sent each of my family members a watch when I was still in my homeland-that was so nice of him. My people adores receiving quality watches, which, of course, now that I am in the U.S.A. makes me think about shopping for watches to give to them when I visit home. That would be nice especially if I can afford to buy all of them a watch. See, I recently found a website that has a huge selection of brand name watches such as Seiko, that ships any purchase for free, and that is the way I like it because I can save on the shipping. It also just reminds that my husband gave me a stunningly designed gold Seiko Watch for a gift. He chose it because he believes that Seiko watches lasts forever. They are quality and nicely put together which makes them a timeless gift.

Tiana is off to school again. Oh, we didn't get to do a lot during the Spring Break. We mostly stayed home because it is still quite cold here in our place. Anyway, I am glad that Tiana can wear a lighter jacket now since it is getting warmer now. If it gets really warm, then we will be outside hanging out; planting flowers, riding our bicycles, and playing basketball. It's fun when you can go out and the weather is nice and warm. So I hope soon the weather here will be warm so we can be outside, my husband and children are mostly going to be outside unless I have a laptop to be outside. I don't want to miss some molah if possible. I have to work hard since I can't seem to save any money. I guess I am just not a saver at all. I am always broke, so I need to keep working to supplement my endless spending. My being shopaholic is costing me big time, and I am not sure how I can break away from such bad habit. It's definitely a hard habit to break...LOL. Who can resist shopping anyway when you are a woman and when you have some money in your hands? It just reminds me of my father that he is struggling with being alcoholic, and I am struggling with being shopaholic...LOL.

This is helpful to those looking to maximize their sales and looking for marketing lists. Well, I happened to come across a website by a company that is a licensed data wholesaler specializing in marketing data and mailing lists. It is everyone’s low cost direct marketing list provider. There are different lists, all one has to do is create a list and choose a database which are directly provided right on the front page of the site, with over 200 sales leads available. I think people after the mortgage telemarketing lists because of how the real estate business is booming nowadays. So how nice that there is a website that provides low cost on marketing lists and sales leads.

I am having trouble with what to eat because most of the time it's like I have eaten all the foods my husband could possibly bring home. Other times I just have no appetite. So I often struggle with thinking about what to cook that would taste good and that we can all eat. It is hard because I can't think of anything good to eat anymore. I can only remember about fish and what I would like to eat if I were back home...LOL. Really I can find so many foods to eat there, and perhaps it is because my people can cook so well. My grandmother used to have a restaurant, and that makes me miss all the food there. I hunger for my native foods...eeek! I think it's only happening to me because I have been here too long. I have got to take a vacation home. I am hoping next year since it looks impossible for me to go for a visit home this summer. My husband wants to go too. Nobody wants to be left behind, and I would like that though that the whole family can come, because Tiana and Hannah will for sure join me with pigging out. They can eat what I eat...and they also love fish. So that is a good thing for me because they won't have to starve if we can't find American foods for them to be able to eat when they get hungry, except with dad, he has to have his kinds of foods. No fish, nothing that tastes fishy for him...LOL! Okay, this is all for now. My husband is going to cook dinner. I am letting him cook because I can only think of making a fish soup or simmered fish (inon-onan), the semi snapper looking fish...yum!

My husband will like hearing what I found online, a forum for baseball and football fanatics like him. He loves baseball and football, and he watches a lot of football especially in the Summer and when his favorite team is playing. Anyway, the forum even has some free nfl picks for those who are interested. Anyone who enjoys such sports can come and join in the discussion at the forum and talk about what's the latest and what others are up to. So, if you are a sport fan, be sure to see the forum and don't miss out on what's new.

I was just reading terrible news about a 25 year old man in Texas microwaving his 2month old baby daughter. Oh, how horrible. I can't believe that someone can do such a thing to an innocent and defenseless baby; a girl. When he went to a trial he claimed that has had mental illness since he was 10 years old. Well, doing what he did is I would say out of rage and due to his uncontrollable temper. Having a mental illness doesn't always make you do something that you decide upon, especially act on, and just like what he did, literally putting his daughter inside a microwave for 5-10 sec. He also punched the baby I read and placed her in a safe and refrigerator where he stayed, at a hotel. The poor baby was severely burned with her hands all bone with no skin and muscle left, just tendons but luckily she survived. She had to undergo a number of surgeries, and will continue to undergo in the years to come. The story can be found at the USA Today. Anyway, I am just sharing a little about what I learned, that really disgust me when someone can hurt a fragile baby. There is really no excuse at all when hurting a baby. The father will now served his sentence for 25 years, and won't be eligible for parole until he served at least half of his sentence while his daughter will suffer for the rest of her life. The foster mother is really angry and said that, she also thinks the father doesn't deserve the 25 years sentence because it should be natural life. The baby's mother is now living in Kansas and will lose her rights to her baby.

My husband used to talk about buying houses and fix them up for profit. I think it is a very good idea if one has the money to be able to do so. If I get to that stage where I have enough money to buy a house, I would do what I have seen many people do today; flip houses and sell them for a huge profit. Anyway, visiting a website about real estate just jogs my memory. I am actually hoping to get in the real estate business someday, perhaps as an agent, and a possible investor. See, I saw a lot of gorgeous North Fork real estate properties for prospective buyers that has some potential, and if only we have the money it would be nice to own one. As for the site, both buyers and sellers are welcome there, because the buyers can easily find agents ready to help with looking for their dream homes while the sellers can have their properties listed and sold in no time. The site even has mortgage rates for buyers to look into, and important information for sellers to know about. There are apartment listings there too-for renters. The website is provided by Prudential Douglas Elliman, a New York based Real Estate Company. It is the Largest Real Estate Company around New York, with 60 offices serving 350 communities from Manhattan to Montauk. It is the real estate company that helps a purchaser explore housing throughout New York City, Long Island and the Hamptons.

It's the weekend and I was on YouTube searching for some upbeat songs, and happened to remember "Lambada" as one of the upbeat songs that I used to hear a lot in my homeland. It is a hit with everybody that like its beat, but I haven't heard about it being a forbidden dance though. I guess in other countries such as the U.S. it is forbidden because it is too sexy or sexual. My husband said that it was not allowed in the U.S. for a while, but with the way people are today, surely, it is now welcome. People ought to see how some of the music artists dance today...LOL, to mention a few; Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, and Madonna. Sex sale as they say, so almost anything goes these days. The parents just need to keep control of what shows their children watch for discretion. Anyway, I like Lambada, and the way people dance to that song. It is upbeat and fun to dance as far I am concerned. It sounds good and I am for it. The people in south America particularly in Brazil are more open when it comes to sexuality, some of them even goes to the beach bare naked. So apparently there is no malice there and everyone can do as they please. It's kind of nice; it is just that children may learn something they are not supposed to learn just yet. That is the only problem; a beach should have those people if only adults are allowed there. That is unless, of course, nudity is natural in the culture.
Alright, here is Lambada by Kaoma. My girls and I enjoyed dancing today, just having fun...LOL.

I can very well understand why vaginal surgery is becoming quite common with women especially after childbirth, because of increase incidence of vaginal relaxation and the fact that some women have labias that are out of proportion. What I mean is that, the unbalanced look can really pull women down in means of feeling confident and normal. It happens and I think it starts from a young age where we all undergo changes in our body. We don't even know that we have changed and the next thing we normally notice is that something doesn't look proportion. I have seen pictures of the before and after and I would say a surgery makes a big difference in terms of making the labia look more appealing and clean. The pictures show that it could be quite uncomfortable and embarrassing for some women, that I would imagine. So if a surgery can help, why not have it. I would do it too, simply because I want to be able to feel confident and not be so self-conscious because of how parts of my body look. That is why some women do seek for labia plastic surgery to improve the way their labias look as well as to have confidence in themselves. I have come across a number of sites where I learned that vaginal rejuvenation is the only way for women to feel new again, and they also do it for sexual gratification. Some just don't feel the kind of sensation they felt before they had their children.

I found that out when I only had very little money left in my PayPal account...LOL. PayPal does not allow anyone to over-spend unless it is tied to a bank account that has a lot of money for a back up. I like that about paypal though, because I won't have to worry about paying for anything. See, with my bank, my checking account is connected to my savings account and I had it set that if I overdraft in my checking account, my savings account will be a back up. However, there is a charge each time I overdraft in my checking account for $15.00. Now that is what I don't like about my bank. It's no good, but since my bank is the closest bank to us, I try to stay, and just avoid over drafting. It is unlike my husband's trusted bank that he is allowed to overdraft by having his savings account connected to his checking without charging any fee. That is the way it should be that as long as you have money in your savings account, you should never be charged. But my bank does, even if I have the money to back up my checking account. It sucks; I might have to look for another bank closer to us. I need to find one that has the same policy as my husband's bank. We have different banks...LOL. He has his, and I have mine. We are both very independent, but share responsibilities; whatever we have to pay and spend on. He has his share and I have mine; mostly his, of course, he has more money than I do.

Finding a dream homes is always a daunting task, we all know that. However, with the way the technology is growing today; anything is possible. And what seemed impossible those days are now possible. Now talking about finding a dream home, it is now such an easy process, because I learned that there is a website providing people who are looking for their dream homes the best House Plans available to suit their needs. Imagine that, there is no need to worry about not being able to build a house that is exactly to your liking. I like that myself if I were to build my dream home. It is like shopping for the perfect dream home. You just pick out the one you want out the many Home Plans available for you to choose from, and start building your dream home. The site is equipped with all that builders need from start to finish. No need to hassle with finding qualified builders all on your own, because at the site, a link is provided just for that, and even the builders’ project plan needs is met. Building a dream home is every man's dream. My husband would like to be able to move somewhere mountainous where he can build a log cabin or log home, because we saw a nice log home on TV. He finds it ideal for his type of home, and would you know it, at the site I found some great Log home plans that can make building a log home so easy. People can view different homes and pick the homes they want for themselves. How nice I would say, because it will make building any dream home a breeze.

Digital radio has change the way we hear music these days. Imagine, now we no longer have to worry about hearing a static when we change a station and/or try to tune in to our favorite stations. There is no more interruptions, no more breaking up while we are listening to our favorite tunes. A digital radio is free then we only need the HD Radio Receiver to hear all the music we want with unbeatable clarity. We all want to hear music the way we should, so it is time to upgrade. Now for some of us that have iPods, we can now tag a song directly from our digital radio that whenever we hear a good song, we can immediately tag it and be able to purchase and download it from Apple® iTunes Music Store. What a great way to listen to music and get music to be in our iPods’ playlists. One must have the iPod dock with iTunes Tagging to be able to do such music tagging though, so be sure to get one if you don't have one yet. As for the stations, there are so many stations that we can find nearest to where we live. My family and I live in Michigan, and when I visited the site I found some stations closest to us in Detroit. Anyway, for those residing in Your York, there are so many New York High Definition Radio stations there, too. Just come by the site and see for yourself. It's time to change the way you hear music.

I want to share a video I found on YouTube that is very helpful with looking gorgeous in just minutes. Imagine, you can put your make up on so quickly and look great. So, that is how I want to put my makeup, too, quickly and easily. That is why I picked this video tutorial that I have here. The way the makeup artist lined the model's eye-brows is something I haven't seen before. I never saw it done; brush the brow hair down then up. That is how some people lined their eyebrows I see. I normally just line my eyebrows with a pencil brow and I am simply finished. A good thing I saw such video tutorial, now I am learning how to apply make up in different ways. I just wish I have a flawless skin…LOL.

What a nice surprise it would be for someone to receive a nice travel gift certificate. I would like that myself, and speaking of traveling and being surprised, those travel gift certificates would be a great incentive, and an ideal reward to recognize the achievements of people you think highly of, whether they are a key employees or business colleagues, even friends, and family members. They make a nice surprise for couples that longed for a vacation as well. Usually parents do that or vice-versa. It is almost Summer after all, time to get away somewhere nice and cool. Now for those of you planning to take a trip or give some people a reward for doing a job well done or simply want to surprise them, I found just the site where you can get the ideal reward. It is a site that offer travel gift certificates for a nice gift which will make some special people really appreciative. So you might want to look into what you can do. It is a site perfect for travelers or vacationers, because they can book luxury vacations to destinations around the world. Be remembered by what you give, and give a gift that people find ideal, like a cruise or a relaxing vacation because they can have a good time and make lifetime memories.

I was watching a late night show some time ago and caught something about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie welcoming a twin. Wow, they certainly have a fruitful union; imagine just two years ago the media was talking about them welcoming a baby girl which is their first biological child Shiloh. Now they will be welcoming twins; a boy and a girl, I read. It’s amazing because Angelina manages to get pregnant and have more children in spite of her busy schedule; making movies and making a difference in people's lives all over the world. She reminds me of the kind and caring Princess Diana, because of her kind and caring heart. Oh, I admire people like that, that they have such compassion for others especially those that are suffering and poor. Anyway, Angelina Jolie has made a name for herself even without using her well-known father's surname (John) Voight, and I am glad she paired up with a handsome prince charming like Brad Pitt because they match. Both of them are good looking, and so they definitely make a perfect match for a couple. Now, as for their twins, I am not sure if Angelina has given birth yet, which I thought she already did, but based on what I recently read, she hasn't just yet. So maybe not, and I read they are planning to move to France where they can welcome their twins. Boy, different kids born in different countries. That certainly sets them apart from all the others. Oh, well, good luck and congratulations to them.

Here is something that reminds me about us, getting a new fence because our neighbor has a vicious dog that sometimes gets through our wood fence and get in our backyard. It is quite scary for us because we have small children. So it is a good time for us to think about replacing our fence and get a better one that is much more durable. So far, I like the idea of having a concrete looking fence that is available for us to get. A fence that is solid and durable yet it is made out of a plastic material that is tougher than vinyl. It is like having a real concrete fence only better because it is more durable and can withstand any heavy impact even from the toughest hit of a baseball hurled at over 90 mph. What a durable fence, and certainly I would say that plastic fences are better than concrete fences. They make the best alternative to concretes. We would definitely like a plastic fence to have in our property. Nobody has to know it is plastic because it looks just as real as the real concrete. What I like about it most is the fact that it can decorate any property so well, as it has such a flawless look. It makes any house look clean and attractive; it adds a nice curb appeal.

Working online is easy, but boy, my fingers and hands especially my right hand takes a beating. Now a large vein in my right hand on the opposite side of my wrist moves. It is like a worm inside my skin moving back and forth, and it is quite bothersome because it feels weird. So what I do is try to massage it with my finger to calm it down, so it won't move so much. I asked my husband why my vein moves and he said it is just a vein twitching. Hmmm...I don't know about that, maybe this is about my blood circulating only sometimes in clumps. I don't want to have a stroke one of these days if this keeps up. I will try to see what this is and see if I can do something to stop my vein from moving. Ugh! It's awful and sometimes I feel the same thing with my other veins in my legs and even chest and head. I must be doing something wrong with my body; this is why my veins move. I need to find out why. Anyway, I've gotta go, happy Friday!!!

I want to make a post about my new monitor screen that came with my new computer. Well, it is a 19" HP LCD monitor screen. So there it is peeps, some of you were curious to see my new computer and asked me about seeing it, however, I just haven't had any time to edit all my photos and share them here. I will share them as soon as they become available, yeah, when I have time to put them into a slideshow, so you can see my workstation as well with me in the picture...LOL. I am not showing off, just sharing about what I recently bought for myself. As for my new screen, my husband needs a new monitor so he will end up with the one I have here now because I am planning to get a 20" monitor screen for my online movies. That is what I wanted the first time, but I didn't get to buy it, because this screen came with my computer. It was all a package, on sale and so I had no way to exchange it even when I asked. Okay, this is all for now. We will be going out to check out another computer that has wireless keyboard and mouse for my future purchase, because I need one that is built for multi-tasking and is a lot faster when it comes to web-browsing. My husband can use this computer if I am not on it. Our old computer is almost kaput anyway-I still need to retrieve all my files there. This computer I have now will be for graphics (my husband and I do graphics editing; his is Engineering though while mine is just playing around-for a hobby...LOL) and video games, and movies I watch online coming from my homeland. Alright, Mercy beucop!

I am thinking about getting a web host for my personal website where I can keep it running. However, I am looking for a very affordable web hosting service that can still offer me a huge disk (MB) and huge GB of bandwidth as well as having a Cpanel with good tech-support is good, I've had that before. Now if I were to get a web-hosting package again, I start my search from a site/blog that has a guide about the best web hosting. Anyway, I also would like a nice blog template, and the website I have here has that, too. It would be nice if I can have my template customized. I don't know how the XML works. So I can only use a template made by somebody else and not mine. As for web hosting, it is always nice to take it from someone who knows what the best deal in web hosting is. I have been there, so I believe that. You have to experience the web hosting service and make your decision on which is cheaper but offer the same great service. The site I am talking about has all the details that one must know about getting a webs hosting, and well, if you want to be pointed to the right direction, you be sure to visit the site and see for yourself.

It's time to pick our candidates for congress, and from what I heard John Fleming for congress is one of the best that deserves to be in congress. He sounds like he has all his eggs in a row wanting to keep the country safe by Defeating Terrorism, make sure that everybody that comes to the U.S.A is legal and not illegal by Controlling Illegal Immigration. Everyone must abide by the rules, and why should others be exempted when others have worked hard to be able to come and live in the land where there is freedom and liberty. I am also for John Fleming with Lowering Taxes because it is killing most of us who can't always afford to pay high taxes and Protecting Right to Life, and Traditional Values which make America the great country that it is. So folks, doesn't Dr John Fleming sounds like the man to vote for congress? If you think so, you should learn more about him. He is what the country needs!

My husband bought a new DVD player and finally we can rent DVD movies and watch them when we get off the computer. We are practicing a healthy habit; sleeping early and eating right. Exercise as soon as the weather is reasonable. So that is it, we are trying to do the right thing so we can live longer and be around for our children who needs us most. How nice I thought that he found a DVD player on sale and was able to buy it cheap enough. It is however, just to use temporarily because he wants an all-region DVD player because I like to rent movies from my homeland. The last time I rented some, I only wasted money because it didn't play on our DVD. Well, that was a waste of money for sure. The next time I start renting we have to have the all-region DVD player first to avoid wasting any more money as I would rather give the money to my people back home. I feel bad for all my loved ones and so I help them all I can and whenever possible. A little money makes them happy and put a smile on their faces. Oh, I enjoy it when I see them smiling back at me. It makes it all worth it for me to help them and know that it makes a difference in their lives somehow-being not so fortunate to have all the money and material things in the world. They certainly appreciate having someone like me who is generous enough to think of them all. That is one thing I wish we had when I was young. Anyway, I don't mind helping them because what matters to me is not what they can give back as I in no means expect anything in return when I give. I expect nothing in return but only their happiness that I can see them smiling and little kids jumping for joy. That is all. As for our new DVD, yeah, I just wanted to jot down a little of everything especially the new DVD my husband purchase just yesterday. I am just glad we can watch DVD movies again, as we can rent them right around the corner of our house. So close to just run to and get a movie, how convenient.

We have been noticing more and more businesses closing in the city we live in, but my guess would be that, it is more likely that the owners lacked the skill they need in order to keep a business going. See, sometimes it takes more than just having the capital to be able to run a business. I know that from going by what happened to my family members trying to run a business all on their own, but then what do they know. So that is when having a business coach becomes an advantage for business owners, because they would know how to manage a business effectively rather than lose their business due to their inability to know what to do in times of crisis. Anyway, I learned more about that by visiting a website that offers business coaching, and that is provided by ActionCOACH-a team of committed, positive and successful people who are always striving to be balanced, integral and honest. Any business owner can acquire for a business coach similar to an athlete coach in which they are trained and taught to run a business with clever strategies and what a business owner should know about in order to keep a well managed and successful business as well as achieving a goal. It's good to know what to do first hand to avoid going out of business.

It’s Spring and it's time for me to start working out to get in shape, so, of course, I can wear some nice outfits. I haven’t been exercising and all I have done is sit around; doing my computer activities most of the time. I don’t even try to stretch, maybe this is why I always have aches and pain. I have got to do some stretching and exercise regularly so I will not only look good-with an hour glass figure, nah, just kidding…LOL-but also can live longer not having any medical issue, because what if I have a blood clot or stroke? One must take some time to be healthy and keep everything working. It is better to be safe than sorry by being active; otherwise I could look like a walking dead. Well, that is not me, I like to be active and go to places where I can enjoy life. I am adventurous and like to try new things if possible. So I can’t afford to let myself go. I am young and I should live it up. Looking good is nice, only I don't care for when even little boys start flirting with me as if I am their age...LOL. It happens because of my being so tiny...eeek! I am not only small but short. So, ugh! It is embarrassing, but a good thing I have my children with me because it helps...LOL.

We used to move across country all the time, and I tell you it was such a hassle because we only had our van and a small trailer attached to rely upon with loading all our stuff. It was dreadful if I have to say, because we didn't get to bring all the furniture and things we would have loved to take with us. So in the process we lost a lot of valuable things. Perhaps the next time we decide to move we can rent a big truck to bring all the things we want to bring with us. It helps because a truck offers a huge space for moving, and if we do move out-of-state again, we will definitely try to get a truck like this one way truck rental I found online. As far as I am concerned, it is a very reliable for a do-it-yourself moving alternative. I want a truck next time we move, just like at MovingOrbit.com, that people can get multiple estimates for local and interstate moving companies. It is good because it says we can select the mover that can give us the best price and protection for our valuables.

My husband is always the first one to use the computer every morning. And by the time I wake up, my computer would slow down. I guess it's already been loaded with all the browsing history and temporary files. So what I do to make my computer perform like lightning fast again is delete all the browsing history by going to "Tools" and select delete all browsing history, etc. and temporary files by clicking "My Computer" and do a disk cleanup. That helps with giving my computer a much faster speed. However, my computer is supposed to be new and has plenty of room for browsing the net and storing images even built for playing video games and graphic editing like I do. I can't understand why it takes too long to load the page I am trying to access sometimes. See, when I work online, it takes at least 5 minutes or even longer at times for a page to load. And my, I can't tell you how bad it irritates me. It is like to the point that I want to get rid of it and replace it with a new computer that is built for web-browsing only. A more customized to what I do. I might just do that if this slow loading computer keeps up with performing like a snail...LOL. My husband would love to have this computer for himself because it is new and to him it works lighting fast. Well, when he turns it on the first time and as far as web-browsing is concerned. However, if I give it to him, my graphics editing will have to stay because of the huge space it has. Oh, it bugs me to have to wait around and miss my opps...LOL. bottom line: I'll buy a laptop instead.

I am due for a complete smile makeover; because I learned that I have a small cavity in my front tooth. It actually spread to the adjacent tooth which is panicking me because I would not be able to smile if I let it go for too long. I need to have a teeth filling, and I wish I have the money right now to be able to afford going to a Dental professional like this Beverly Hills dental health professional named Dr. Maddahi, a Beverly Hills dentist providing complete smile makeovers using advanced dental techniques including painless air drills, miniature cameras and digital x-rays. That is exactly what I would need. It would embarrass me if the cavities will become obvious when I smile, it is bad enough that my teeth are not exactly very straight and that the front upper incisors chipped before which made them shorter. I have got to go to a Dentist to keep my dashing smile.

Who can possibly not like such an upbeat song? Oh, that song rocks! I love it as I am an upbeat person, so naturally I like upbeat music. The "Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now" song is one of my favorite songs, you know. The first time I heard it, I already liked it. What a nice song. So I had to share it here. It is quite an old song now, but it is timeless. Everybody still likes it up to this day. Anyway, that is what came to my mind this morning when I got up. I was visiting my Random Matters blog and played it because I have it below my blog for my music back ground, only sang by my fellow Filipinos. I couldn't find the original so I had to settle for what I can find. There is nothing like the origial for sure. Okay this is all for now. Enjoy hearing the song I have here. And by the way, I saw the "Mannequin" movie featured on the video here. I had fun time watching it; a romantic comedy movie. It is hilarious to watch as it reminds me of the "Pink Panther" movies seeing the lead police officer always aggravated and get into so much trouble...LOL. The characters really fit their roles, and I would say Kim Katrall is drop dead gorgeous-being the mannequin, and, of course, the guy is cute. As for the others, they are the original singers of the song the "Starship". I just don't remember seeing the Starship people in the movie though, but more likely because I didn't know about them before.

Some time ago, my husband's son came by and showed us all the vitamins he is taking to stay healthy because he is always on the go. He has everything covered except that he works out, and wondering why he doesn't seem to be losing weight, instead gaining a few pounds. Now it just brought to my attention, that he would need a supplement that can help him burn fat and also build muscle. It is perfect because I happened to find a website that has discount bodybuilding supplements available to purchase online. My husband can even use some because he is planning to be healthy, too. He wants to exercise as soon as the weather is warm enough for him to go out and ride his bicycle. He would be interested in taking the supplement that can help him burn fat, so he can eventually lose his beer belly. Anyway, for those who are working out to look good this Summer, you might be interested to see about the website as well. You can find all the supplements you need to help you burn fat, build muscle, or simply be healthy at Supplements.net. The site for you all the supplements you could need.

When time permits me I always like to watch the travel channel because it is entertaining for me to watch the different travelers on there like Anthony Bourdain, Andrew Zimmern, and the rest of the gangs. Oh, it makes me hungry to watch them travel and eat food from different cultures/countries. I can eat what they eat except the live ones; I don't like to eat anything raw, except if it is like fish and oysters that has vinegar and lemons. Speaking of food, I am thinking about fixing a "fish kilawin" (raw fish soaked in vinegar with spices when I can go to a Filipino store soon. Anyway, I can only wish I can travel someday and eat food from different cultures. It fascinates me to travel and explore what the rest of the world offers. I especially like the food...LOL and I find eating some of the food that Andrew Zimmern eats appetizing. I am an adventurous eater and I can easily try out eating some food I am not normally used to as long it is cooked and doesn't smell so awful. I don't think I can eat snakes, raw frogs, raw insects, and rats, etc. Those would definitely turn my stomach inside out...oh, so gross. Alright this is all for now. I just thought I would share what I find interesting and wish I can do what those travelers do; travel, meet people of different ethnicities and eat yummy food!

I love cooking; only I am still in the process of learning how to cook like a chef. So far I have learned how to cook the Chinese dish called "tomato beef" it is very tasty to eat with rice. I also learned to cook "chicken soup"-the best I think. It is a secret recipe that was given to my husband's daughter in law by an old lady. And it was passed on to us. I might share a recipe of my cooking online on the site where all food lovers like me can connect and share recipes of foods we love.

I now realized that page ranking has almost nothing to do with ex-changing links at all-well, not so much, and drawing lots of traffic to your blog. Too much of everything can be overwhelming and just no good period. But it has everything to do with maintaining a clean blog, what I mean is an uncluttered blog with a good code template. I noticed that, when I saw some blogs that hardly have anybody visit having a page rank of 2-3. Imagine that? The keys to getting a page rank sounds more like the following:

1. Just make sure your blog has a good clean template.
2. Maintain it with writing posts often-keep it updated anyway.
3. Include pictures in your post if possible-to spice it up.
3. You can ex-links but don't go overboard, because too much links can decrease your chances in getting a page rank-I read about that you know.
4. Always be careful with your keywords, or what you say because Google looks for them.
5. I read it helps not to mention the sites that let you earn molah...LOL.
6. Minimize or even take off the banners of sites you have on your blog especially those that let you see some dollar signs.
7. Go to Google.com for the Meta tag or Meta html code so your blog is googlebot friendly-to be indexed that is.
8. Try to write English correctly, too many wrong spellings and grammatical errors can sometimes affect your blog from gaining the page rank it deserves.
9. I noticed that it might only take you to write and write about something and get a page rank anyway.
10. You don't even need to bother with doing the extra hassle some people say, because doing nothing seems to work just fine...LOL.

Okay, I think that is about it that I have learned so far. So, good luck!

It amazes me how technology can constantly change and improve over time; I see new things being available all the time. It is always about something helpful like what I found today; a company that focused on providing the most secure, fast, scalable, and reliable solutions for your telnet and ssh connectivity needs. Yes, have you heard of Pragma Systems Inc.? It is the leading provider of enterprise class remote access and security software for Microsoft Windows platforms. It has an end-to-end solutions of servers and clients provide highly secure access to corporate supply chain, CRM, distribution and warehouse applications over wireless, Bluetooth, LAN, WAN and mobile networks. Pragma can help because it is the industry leader in telnet and SSH Telnet and offers the most popular telnet server for Windows. It can help achieved a level of technical knowledge, domain expertise, and industry experience. Anyway, if you are interested, be sure to look in to it and find out more, because it could help your business tremendously.

My siblings graduated from high school and college this year. I just want to convey my congratulations on this post. Finally they finished their vocational courses; actually just a secondary course, since both my brother and sister decided to take the same course which is being a "computer programmer". Well, we will see about how they will do. I just wish them the best and will look forward to hearing about their successes. I hope they can use their skills. It will be awful to go to college and then end up working an unskilled job anyway, which would be bad. But, of course, it is becoming common now that you can't find any work related to what you went to school for. Sometimes there are just no jobs around for you. It is normally the case in my country that people who are highly educated have no choice but work at burger establishments. That is sad. My brother went to school taking a Bachelor of Science in Office System Management, but he never was able to find a job related to that. So he had to find a job that he can do just to survive. Going to school in the province doesn’t seem to make a difference. It is almost like a waste of time and money-that is according to me, unless one can afford to go to a nursing school, etc. to get a much higher level of education. Everybody else below is dead beat.

When it comes to music, anything goes with me. However, there are times when I prefer to listen to a certain type of music to set the mood. I like all types of music, it can be any genre. Rap music is still somewhat new to me; I haven't heard such type of music at home before. But now I do and I actually like some of the songs I hear on the radio by various artists. I especially like the upbeat ones as I am an upbeat person. By the way, speaking of rap music, I found a new website that was launched to promote lots of best rappers around in the music world today. So if you enjoy rap music, the site would be the one for you. Perhaps you can find your favorite rap artist there and be able to see the new songs listed as well as read the biography. How nice I think, so come by and take a look!

I was planning to go to Wal-mart today, but then my husband said it is really cold outside. So I held off and decided to go tomorrow instead. But if I have to go out and take the baby with us. Well, I have to promise to my husband not to loan him our out of control baby...LOL. I will have to keep control of her myself this time, because the last time my husband had so much trouble with her acting up; throwing a bad tantrum. She would roll all over the place in the car and cry until she gets tired of crying. He developed a bad headache listening to her after such ordeal, he definitely has had enough; no more babysitting for him. He had a bad time watching her and has had it now indefinitely. We have to stay home most of the time until our baby gail can behave herself. Hmmm... I wonder where she took after. Where did she inherit such unruly behavior? Perhaps my kids have my kind of out of control behavior...eeek. I can still remember that when I was very young I would roll all over the ground in the mud until my parents (mother anyway) is force to take me with her when she goes shopping...LOL. I cried until I got tired and had mud all over me-that was bad. I could certainly throw a bad tantrum from what I can recall when I was a young girl. But I think my mother still left me at my grandparents' house in which my uncles and aunt found it fun to tease me. They scared me to death with teasing me about how a helicopter would get me, take me away, and boy, to me it was like the end of the world. I was so scared almost traumatized because every time I hear a helicopter I would panic and try to hide. In fact, when I heard a helicopter flying over head once, I even climbed up a big and tall santol tree with lots of leaves so I would not be seen. I think I was also trying to carry my baby sister or brother up there-I just can't exactly remember if I was able to do it. Oh, that was dangerous, I tell you. It taught me a lesson not to tease little kids with things that can really scare and harm them, they might develop a phobia. My phobia was seeing a helicopter flying when I was very young…LOL. Now, I hardly get scared of anything.

Calling home is always so much fun especially if you are living abroad. I know so because I am one, and I haven't gone home for a long, long time now. So it is a blast for me to be able to talk with my loved ones back home, and at times when I am awfully bored. I like to talk and talk, and if I find phone cards that offer great rates on international calling, I definitely take advantage. I am thinking about getting a cheap calling card just to call my siblings and congratulate them for finally graduating. See, my people live half way around the world; in the Philippines, and normally it costs a lot of money to call there, so I look for cheap Philippine Calling Cards and talk without watching the time and worrying that it is going to cost me a fortune. I like it when I find a deal, because it is easy for me to keep talking. Anyway, I just thought to share a little something about calling home, I miss my homeland a lot, you know.

We went to a second hand shop the other day and each time I always stay inside longer than what my husband can stand. So I would ask him to take our baby with him if he goes out of the store-so I won't have to keep chasing her around. Boy, nothing hinders her from doing what a baby does, yes, inspite of her leg problem she can walk and run like any baby can. However, as for her behaviour, we thought our baby number two is much more different-she seemed quite and laid back than our baby number one, but no, they are both just as unruly. She may look really sweet and innocent but she is very active and aggressive inside. It usually comes out when she is at the store. She is a character just like her big sister . Oh, when Tiana was just a baby we had so much trouble trying to make her to mind and thought it would never end in terms of keeping us from socializing; going out shopping and eating. Well, now it is a dejavu for us because our little one is the same. When we go shopping, she would get off the shopping cart and start running all over the place-like her older sister used to do. She likes to play hide and seek, and catch me if you can game. So this is it; we are back to square one for now. I will be stuck in the house for while, a good thing though that if I want to go shopping, the stores are really close by; just right around the corner in which my husband can drop me off. That is the possitive thing, and I have got to learn how to drive soon.

Indeed, just ask my husband...but really, I am just kidding aside...LOL. Well, anyway I hear erectile dysfunction is quite common with men regardless of their age and ethnicity. It occurs with young men even in their 20's, and so with that being one of the issues that make men self-conscious to say that it is an embarrassing factor in their sexuality, they strive hard to find a drug that really works. So far, Viagra is one of the many erectile dysfunction drugs that are effective to use for men seeking to perform like they should. Men are using such pill for a sexual satisfying experience. However, not all drugs are the same; there are side effects, so it is always better to be safe by asking a Physician before using any of the erectile dysfunction drugs available today. Most of the erectile dysfunction drugs can only be prescribed, but some are available to purchase online. It is a good thing though, for they are not only cheap to buy online but also more private as it gives men the privacy they need. Who would want to go to the store and buy it, unless one really has the nerve? So how nice that they can just buy Viagra online to save them from being embarrassed and humiliated, which is what some men would feel really. I am sure my husband feels the same way. By the way, the site I am providing here is made available by edrugstore.md, a company that has been established to only sell name brand prescription drugs. There is no generics involve at all, only a guaranteed offer of unbeatable prices around the web.

The weather here in Michigan is not exactly very pleasant, it is snowing until now. Oh, everybody is getting sick of the cold weather here. My husband was just talking to his son last night and his son was saying how sick he is getting with the weather being so cold that it is always snowing here. It makes him wish he can live in California where the weather is reasonable and warm all year long. I like it there a lot, too, and wish we didn't have to move out of there. If only we can go back there and live in a nice place where we can easily go to the beach-there is an ocean there which I really like. Anyway, as for the weather here, it snows off and on if not raining since it is Spring time now. My husband doesn't like to take us out to the store because our baby could get sick, so we're always stuck in the house. It sucks...LOL.

This is for those who are tired of renting houses that don't meet their criteria, because there is a site offering what they are missing. A site that has some of the best luxury homes for rent with all the amenities and comforts of a real home like a home with stunning hardwood floors, modern fixtures, chef's kitchen and many other features that are not only designed for energy saving but complete with what a real luxury home should have. So if you are interested in renting the home of your dreams, you might be able to find it at the luxury homes listing in Lewisburg PA, and the real estate is very close to Bucknell University and downtown Lewisburg. Now that sounds like a nice way to let Lewisburg Luxury of property Management Company serve you!

Here it is finally, the Easter photos I have taken of my lovely girls-daughters I mean. I dressed them up with the dresses that I tucked away in the closet some time ago. Tiana's dress is actually the dress I was talking about a couple of years ago that I bought for her birthday, only it was too big. So I saved it for later use. She didn't get to wear it for her birthday as I always find one that's more approciate for a birthday dress. As for Hannah's dress, I also bought it months ago, year 2007-I shop in advance. Anyway, as for their Easter fun, my husband always make sure that they would have something to be excited about every holiday no matter what it is as long as it is fun, we benefit-the children anyway. So he bought some easter baskets with candies in them and toys as you can see, all for them. See, we don't have to be so religious to want to join the world with having fun and celebrate a holiday. Yep, we have fun every holiday when possible. Anyway, below are the photos I compiled for a slideshow to share here, so enjoy viewing! Let me know how my/our children have grown. They are both skinny, Tiana is not exactly too skinny, she is buff. Hannah on the other hand is skinny due to her getting sick all the time, she often gets sick with a cold, especially during the Winter. She wouldn't even eat unless I trick her. I have to be creative which means I bribe her every once in a while. The poor thing doesn't have a very good appetite. Okay, it's getting late now, I will have to go because it's dinner time. I will be back to see if I have some work to do on here.

I had to also use my bed comforter for the background so they will be visible, they might blend in with the dark background because of their dark hair...LOL.

This is for those that may be needing some money fast and don't have the patience to wait for future payments having to deal with Structured Settlement that takes too long. Yes, if you are someone who has the following: Lawsuit Settlement, Medical Malpractice Settlement, Personal Injury Structured, Wrongful Death Settlement, Structured Settlement Annuity, and even on Lottery, Contest, or Slot Jackpot Prize. You could very well get a lump sum of money if you are looking for a way to get some money to pay off something or purchase something you may be needing right away. Perhaps you are desperately needing a sum of money to pay off your credit card or debt, huge medical bills, repair bills, etc. Unpredictable things can happen anytime and put you in a situation where you need a huge amount of money fast. And there, the site I am talking about is made available by a company that gives a lump sum of cash for Structured Settlements. Now that is what I call fast cash. You can sell your structured settlement and get the money you need. You could get your cash sooner than waiting around for years and years to come. It also secure your financial stability as to being able to buy what you want to buy without having to wait, and who knows what life may bring, some people may never be able to get their settlement if they don't act now. That is why, settling for a fast cash, pay off rather than taking chances with waiting, you may never get there if you do. I know for myself that in order to be sure I get my money, I would consider selling my structured settlement. Alright, be sure be to see the site: http://www.stonestreet.com/ and find out more!

Why go to go all the way to La Vegas to play casino games when nowadays you can play online. Well, I am not sure if a lot of you have heard of the site I found today offering a way for people to be able to play online casino. Anyway, the site is very easy to navigate and well designed which makes any player feel welcome. What I mean is if you love casino games the site is well build to suit your needs. You will feel comfortable, and the color scheme is pleasing to the eye that you won't get tired visiting the site if you want to play. So if you are interested in finding out more about the site, you should stop by for a look, and who knows? You might find the game you will like to play and win some money. It is the site that gives the highest bonus. Now there you have it, come see the site for your virtual vegas casino online!

I find it to be such a hassle to have to go over my work. My new computer is not cooperating with me when I edit my photos, because if I make a mistake with holding my mouse too long on any image, it would stop working and say the program is not responding. So today while I was editing the Easter photos I took of Tiana and Hannah, I was interrupted when my PSP gave me a hassle. I lost my edited pictures, now I will have to take some time and share them. I will share quite a few snap shots on a slideshow, because there are too many for me to put them as thumbnails here. Anyway, let me go for now, I have some work to do online. I am also watching my cooking. I am slow-cooking a beef roast...it is yummy! Well, when you are in the mood to eat beef. By the way, I will share how I cook it later; maybe I'll take a pic...LOL. But to tell you the truth, nothing beats my people's cooking and after being here for 9 years now, I hunger for such food I used to eat at home. So my question is… When can I possibly taste my people's cooking again? Oh, silly me.

My husband and I are not so active in the fitness department, and well, we would rather take some supplements that can help with boosting our energies as well as making us feel at our best heath. It also makes me think of my father who is a hard worker person being always up to working just so he can make a little money to be able to splurge every once in a while. He works hard, and the supplement I found online might just help him keep up. It is called HGH, a supplement that helps with making people not only minimize aging but also feel so much better, look healthy, and perform their best. Now is what exactly what my father and husband needs. I can get away with needing an anti-aging because I am still not so old. So, it would be nice if we can get some, because they don't need to be prescribed by a Doctor, which only mean they are very accessible, easy to get I mean. I am actually impressed that such supplement was even exclusively covered by celebrities, news media, and medicine journalists. If they did that, it must be good enough to try. I am interested to try it if I have the money to be able to purchase it online.

We don't go to church as we are not church goers, but we dress up for special occasions and events. We mainly want our children to enjoy what life has to offer, and if it means celebrating any holiday that comes along, we would, so they have something to be excited about. It is their happiness that matters to us, as we only have their best interests at heart. It makes me happy to see them happy even with just receiving candies and toys. They get really excited when it is a holiday because they know they will get something and eat good food. So it doesn't really matter if we are deeply religious or not, or if we even believe in God. We are somewhat agnostic, we can call it undecided or people that still want to decide for themselves with which way to go and understand things on their own terms. Independent thinkers we are, we learn as we go along. However, my people are deeply religious-I was influenced by them, only I still need to understand things in my own way of thinking, not to just get carried away, after all we are equal; all human, only some do go by a book and we are not exactly like that. I respect what everybody does whether they have beliefs or nott. Religious belief for some people makes them sane and strong spriritually, and well, also labeled as good people, though it is not always the case-take the BTK killer there in consideration as one. We all, I guess, have to have something to hang on to, to be stronger but, of course, over all, we hold the right to our reasons. We all have our own reason and entitled to our own opinion. Everybody is free to do what they please, there is no need for convincing, we can all think and understand for ourselves as we see things as they are. We are all free to believe whatever we believe in. Anyway, I am not justifying ourselves that we are not hypocrites, because we are not, let's just say we are not easily convinced by either our fellow human beings or by a book. Who knows, should we do what others think and do? I can't say. I like to think we are more independent and not so much of a follower, I am not saying others are, but it depends how we make our decisions and judgment. We just don't want to be closed-minded, that is all. We are willing to learn and discover new things and go by facts because they stand for the truth; what is true and real. Okay, enough of my sermon, I am simply expressing my thoughts, and yes, I treat others the way they treat me. There are no rules against things that can do no harm. Okay, ciao for now.

It is Spring time now, and that only means that it will be raining quite a lot. Now it is not good news to those that have to deal with wet basements. Maintaining a basement is really a hassle as it will not only cost you money-that you may not have-but will also cause you to work more than you should. You waste your time in the process trying to do it on your own in fear that it will cost you thousands of dollars, just like with my husband worrying about repair bills all the time. So it helps to get with the company like B-Dry that guarantees a quality service with well trained people to water proof your basement. It is the name of the company that I would recommend to be worth checking with, if you have a wet basement. So, if you happened to find yourself in a jam being stuck with a basement that leaks every time it pours, you need the B-Dry company to help you with basement water removal. They can do the job right, and your wet basement will be completely behind you. No more worrying if you get with B-Dry!

My new computer gave me a bad time yesterday when I wanted to log in to my blogger account. I wasn't able to blog what I wanted to blog at all. It really irritated me being interrupted by a connection error that only my new computer created, because I checked to find it out on our old computer. On our old computer, blogger was available for me to access, but on our new computer blogger is offline-unavailable for me to access which puzzled me when it is available on our old computer. Oh, that really screwed me up with being able to blog yesterday, and I missed to post all my taken opportunities. How disappointing, because I need the money.
Perhaps sometimes there are things that happen for a reason, who knows? I waited for hours only to find out it was our new computer after all, that blocked me from accessing blogger. When I resorted to blogging on our old computer, it was a little too late, and my yahoo mail where I saved all my posts didn't want to cooperate either. So I was dead, I lost my chance completely as I only had a few minutes to make it as to be counted as yesterday’s posts. I won't let it happen again; I will have to figure out why I was blocked for hours on end last night. It prevented me from blogging, what a mind boggling problem that is if you have no idea what's wrong?
I will need to get to the bottom of it, and find a solution on how to fix it if it will ever occur again. No more missing posts for me. It was part of my procrastinating habit too though, because I put off blogging until it was late at night, last night...silly me. Okay, this is all for now. As a closing note: sometimes making a mistake can mean a lot in means of learning a valuable lesson, it teaches us the lessons that may be necessary to be stronger and a better person, as opposed to being bad or worse. We can only learn by trial and error you know.

We went shopping today at the nearby second hand store...LOL. We have the best second hand stores around here in Roseville Michigan, if I must say. The prices are unbeatable, with lots of on sale stuff all the time, you name it clothes, etc-very much everything we get to buy half price. That is why I am addicted to second hand shopping...LOL. Anyway, to continues my story about shopping. Well, I just wanted to look around and get some play clothes for our children and for me to be outside hanging out and planting my flowers and maybe vegetables if the critters don't decide to gnaw on them, this Spring. I bought some short pants for Tiana and me with comfortable tops to go with them as well for going to the park. I like to mix and match and I pride myself in mixing and matching our clothing-I am getting the hang of it, I can be good at it. I only get to do it with our outfits, and not with my husband's clothing or wardrobe, as he takes care of his own. As for buying brand new clothes, I hardly do that since our children can outgrow them so fast, and then my budget is too tight to be able to buy them often. I go to Wal-Mart, K-Mart, and all those smaller retailers for some new clothes. I go to Sears, Macy, Kohl's, Burlington, and other brand name retailers if I have to at times. And when I do look around, I just get shock with some of the prices being awfully high. Talk about pricy clothes-over the top, I tell you! So I only get to buy a few and when I really like the item, like when we went shopping for baby clothes. We also hit the Babies’ R' Us, of course, not to forget that store because I like it there, for the prices are not so bad. I bet you! Okay, this is all for now, I just wanted to jot down a little about our daily activities here

Speaking of termites, we used to struggle so much from being swarmed you know. You see, we used to live on a farm, and I can tell you, we had a swarm of them. What I mean is we had the kinds of termites that fly and swarm, so basically our house was always full of them flying around, leaving their wings on the floor and on the ground-they fall off...how strange I thought. They would then get to us, crawl on our faces, and hair; it was awful putting up with them. But it's a good thing they don't bite; nobody was hurt. I was even wondering if we can sleep with them in the house, thank goodness for mosquito nets. Anyway, those termites usually come out during spring or fall. With us it was mostly during the fall. They are bothersome because they even built a big colony within my grandmother's house...LOL! So we definitely had a hard time getting rid of them because we didn't really know how. However, I recently learned that there is a better way to get rid of winged termites, and it is through a website I stumbled upon. It is very helpful. It will help them avoid those termites that oh, so annoying! I am glad I am out of there, they are nasty, and yes, people would do what is possible to get rid of them.

My parents are not getting along well; they really didn't get along very well for as long as I can remember. And they are thinking about getting a legal separation or annulment of marriage now. So, they requested me to help them out with making a decree of dissolution of marriage or divorce. It is actually a legal separation or annulment of marriage. Only in the U.S. it is called divorce, but a legal separation is in no way different, just a different term. I don't know how people can say in the Philippines that a divorce is not permitted when in fact; a legal separation or annulment of marriage is the same thing-a process in which a couple wishes to live separately or apart. Does a term make a difference to call such situation different than the other? It is the same to me. Don't tell me that once you marry in the Philippines, you can only separate and never be able to remarry or marry another person you fell in love with? That is strange...LOL. Anyway, that is how I understand it.
Now as for my parents, their marriage is coming to an end soon. My mother can no longer tolerate my father's nonchalant behavior. She along with my other siblings think he is all for himself. He spends money and let others benefit while his own family is not having such a good time. It is confusing to me and some of the things I hear are nonsense. So, I just don't say anything because I am not really there to witness whatever is happening with them. And I don't like to obligate my father, when we are all grownups that do not need his tending. For all I care, he can do as he pleases. I don't care because what I care about is that he is happy with what he does as long as he is not hurting anyone. If people have problems with him, then perhaps that is because they couldn't mind their own business. What authority do they have to tell another how to live anyway? But I guess my family; my mother and siblings still require him to be more responsible of his family. Be mindful as much as possible that he shows them they matter. Maybe my father failed to show them that, so, they are somewhat hostile to him.
I can't say what is really wrong with my family, but whatever is bothering them. It will have to end for the sake of peacefulness in the family. I want everyone to live in peace and go on with their lives which include my parents. It is enough bickering and start living with everyone being contented and happy. An annulment of marriage is necessary sometimes so to co-exists peacefully.

I love saving money when I shop, this is why every time I go shopping I always look for deals. I also find lots of promotional shopping deals as well as money saving coupons online. In fact, not long ago I found a website that is all about cash back shopping, entering exciting contests, taking surveys, and paid offers. The site also offer coupons and free shipping on many items. Currently, there is a giveaway; a diamond pendant in one contest and a Disney cruise in another contest, which, of course, I am looking forward to winning at least the diamond pendant, yes, if I get lucky. I love diamonds. Anyway, if you are like me who enjoy shopping and saving money, the site is perfect to see about what are the retail stores that has on sale items and can ship your purchased items for free. And by the way, when you need some shopping tips, and want to learn about other money saving coupons, there is a forum available for you at the site where the members can help you out and point you to many more deals online. Don't we all want to save money when we can?

I was going to post a Friday's feast today but then, I couldn't find the one I wanted to post here due to that the Friday's Feast's site has moved to a new host. Now there is no archive, I can't find any post I want to share. So I guess, I am out of ideas for now. I will just have to come back someday, or maybe not since I am too late to catch up.
As for tags, well, I have lots of tags, but then I wiped out our old computer leaving me with nothing, except a few pictures I already saved. I just can't post all the tags my online acquaintances pass on to me since I run out of thyme sometimes. It's too bad I lost them. I will have to find some tags I can post here. I am planning to edit my pictures and share what my new computer look like, including my workstation, with me on the picture, of course, showing off...LOL. But nah, I just try to look decent, and when I pose, it looks like I am showing off, which makes me look bad to those who see it bad. Okay, this is all for now. I am going out to shop fo some Spring wear!

Some time ago we had to go Chicago, and we planned to make it a family vacation because we were also going to see my sister and her family. Well, our car broke down, so we had to go there riding a big, almost like a tour bus, if I have to say. Anyway, while we were there we took our daughter to a Surgeon because of her leg problem. But while on our way driving around the city, we couldn't help to admire how pretty Chicago really is. The architecture of homes around there is very impressive, the intricate detailed designs are amazing. Chicago is quite a big city, with so many tall and big buildings; towers, you name it. Also the parks we saw are quite amazing with people riding their bicycles along the big lake that connects to Michigan where we live. There are definitely so many things to do in Chicago for sure. And you know, if only we were able to stay a little longer, my husband would have loved to go see a blues band play at the Chicago house of blues, and, of course, as for me, I would have wanted to go shopping. By the way, for those of you who want to learn more, there is a website provided by Trusted Tours & Attractions that will give you a list of all there is to see in Chicago, including other places you wish to see. You will have a chance of winning an IPOD Nano, if you sign up for a newsletter. I would like that! Anyway, maybe next time, we can go to San Francisco and tale the Alcatraz tour . The Alcatraz Island is very pretty, and the Golden Gate Bridge is magnificent, actually San Francisco is very pretty period.

I am still blogging away though I am busy. My husband is you know always on my back with cleaning the house. Boy, when you have kids, you can never seem to have a clean house unless they are asleep. Whew! What a job if you have to constantly go behind your children. I detest cleaning as much as my husband wants me to. He is a neat freak...LOL. It runs in the family...LOL, his side anyway, hopefully our children are not so like that, I want to be able to breath once in a while. Life is not just all about that; working for your house, not with me anyway. My husband may have to get rid of me for going against him with cleaning every time I turn around...LOL. I become hostile towards whoever it is that is always in my hair. I despise the line that says "your wish is my command", it is not that, that is what I put up with, but I just don't like it when somebody rushes me to get something done as if an asteroid is coming...LOL. I don't like to take orders, because I order...LOL, but reallly it is a matter of treating each other equally with loyalty and respect, that is all. I want to work at my own pace. In my mind, I somewhat have the mentality of the rich people-or maybe not because it depends, that and I am not working for anyone but for myself. I do as I please kinda thing, but I should be humble though, and have to face the reality with open arms-embrace it, for we are only human. You can't have everyting to your liking unless you are alone. Oh, my husband and I are a complete opposite. Opposites attract with some couples, only it is no exactly working with us...LOL-we are a collision since we are both a Scorpio, no one wants to back down-a competition we are. Lookswise, of course, opposite attracts; male and female, if we are talking about that kind of opposite.
I am not so bad, it is just that I keep people waiting sometimes when I procrastinate on my chores and whatever else regarding my daily activities. The impatient ones usually get fed up with me, which in turn, of course, I can't worry about, as I can't always please everybody...ugh! Nobody's perfect, and I am only trying to live life the best way I can and be myself. My world is quite happy and peaceful if nobody bothers me, I mean irritates me you know. We all just have to be more accepting, accept the way we are and the way others are, if we can't then there is always a way out, just as like they say that "there is always hope as long as you are alive". Okay, enough of my ranting, actually partly venting out here. It is just nice to speak freely sometimes, my mind I mean. There is no harm in expressing how we feel every once in a while as long as it is harmless. Things shouldn't be taken literally and seriously, after all we are in control of ourselves. No matter what, we have the power to do what is best for us.

Most homes and businesses these days are so well equipped with Security Systems such as a live video camera. You can hardly notice going anywhere anymore without seeing a camera. Almost every store or big business uses a camera for security system purposes. It it very helpful with catching the out-of-the-norm things as they call it, like crimes occurring within its sighting range, and other suspicious activities. Everyone that has a lot to lose, has got to have one of these security camera systems installed on their properties and/or businesses because they come really handy in times of trouble. I am sure all the celebrities use a camera for their security and safety. By the way, the site I have linked here is offering the lowest prices and same day shipping which is already a deal when you are talking about ordering something as important as such security camera system. No one wants to wait for days, so if you are looking to buy a camera for your security reason, the site can help you with your selection and best supplies you can possibly find around the web.

Our baby Hannah caught up with us; our older daughter Tiana and me with having a stomach flu now, too. I was thinking that yesterday when all she did is sleep and didn't want to eat a lot. I gave her a bath then because I thought it would help her not get sick, but to my surprised early this morning she was making a sound like she is going to vomit. And when she finally got up, she vomitted-several times. So our little one has the stomach flu-if we indeed have the what people call it here a "stomach flu". What else could it be with our kind of symptoms? We never really had this in all the years we lived here, just this year. Perhaps the rapid changing weather is affecting us healthwise. I can't figure it out. What could be making us sick? It has got to be the weather. It's the culprit because when we go out in the cold we get a cold. And now that it is Spring. well, the atmosphere is changing quickly that maybe the fact that it is going from cold to warm, we get affected. It is like high tide and low tide, or full moon, pregnant women seems to give birth more than any other time. It's the full moon effect I hear. Is there fact in that? It is superstitious...sort of.

In this day and age everybody seeks for a more efficient way to get things done quicker and easier. It all goes back to how high tech everything is, really. It usually involves a software to get what seemed impossible those days to work. Well, just like what I found out that, a software can run a warehouse. Imagine that? You can get everybody to cooperate all at once with this warehouse management system software, because it provides a fully integrated logistics and fulfillment business. It enables a company to take orders from various sources, work in collaboration and able to process things in real time having a mobile, voice- directed operations, and automating the shipping and billing processes. So definitely, organizational efficiency will improve, and that is with positive effect as an outcome. Now if that sounds like what you would need in order to get everything done in your line of business, you might be interested to know that a site for such software is available. Go see how it can help you and your business!

I happened to be watching television last night, and I had to stick around because I was seeing a very fascinating story about the UFO, God and bible. Wow, that was mind blowing. It was both amazing and fascinating to hear people talk of the possibilities. My, it is always to have an open mind, for sure, you get to learn more and and expand your way of thinking. By reading and listening you learn a lot. I believe it broadens our horizon. If we have an open mind, we get to grasp the facts and learn from them, we learn how things work by experimenting and by trying something new. We discover and learn things we never sometimes knew at all. I like being in a world where there is so much to learn and discover.
Anyway, going back to my initial topic here now. I want to share what I think, maybe a theory as well like with those that think alike. I thought about UFO and Aliens before from hearing about them so much. When I was very young I heard about them, and now I hear about them even more so in the western world where people are so eager to learn and discover with an open mind, of course. Now what came to my mind some time ago long before I saw a television series last night was that, what if the Alien put the human beings on earth for their experimentation purposes...LOL. It may sound silly, but anything is possible since we know nothing at all-at least not yet, except going by our faith. If the aliens had something to do with us, boy, it would definitely change the whole world, they way we think in general especially about God and the bible. Yes, what if what we call God is one of us, I mean among us? If not one then many, in human form with super power abilities. The Aliens can do anything if they are real and can fly those saucers without making any noise, and like with some people that claims to have been abducted and during such process they felt it in levitation (there is another term for it though, I can't remember now).
Boy, wouldn't it be strange if what people talked and believed in the bible are after all part of the UFO Phenomenon? I was definitely fascinated by the television series I saw last night. It just brings something new to mind, something to wonder about. By the way, if you are curious what show, there is a website that has the reference about "UFOs in the Bible". A priest or minister was even one of the theorists or say someone that interpreted UFOs in the bible. So, if things like I am talking about fascinates you, you may view the site to find out more.

This Spring my husband will have to find a way to finish his home improvement project. He has been working on renovating our house and it is taking him years to be able to finish anything around the house, because it is not only about the money but his health in consideration that he can have a heart attack if he over aggravates himself. The stress already caused him some chest pain, now I am suggesting that maybe he should hire people to help out with his unfinished home renovation project. We are needing new kitchen cabinets and flooring in both the kitchen and dining room. So if only we can have a company like the American Home Craft Inc to provide all our home improvement needs, would be great, because such company offers not only secured and excellent home improvement services but also quality home improvement products. It is always good to hire those that know what to do in the case of home improvement, sometimes, if you don't know, it doesn't pay, you only do more damage than good. I think so anyway. I wish I can hire someone to decorate the interior of our house, too, we need curtains and window treatments.

I am so glad that it is finally Spring break once again...yahoo! I like it because I can be free for almost two weeks. There is no school for our daughter until the 1st of April. So I will be pretty much hands free. We can go wherever we please and shop anytime if we want to. I need to earn some money to be able to go shopping though, and I am working on it. I also need to be practical because I am supposed to have lots of problems to solve just yet; heath wise and not to forget ever my long way over due vacation home. I also need to save up for a laptop. Before I saved up for a computer, and well, I have it now, So first things first.
Anyway, my husband picked up Tiana from school and brought her back to pick us up; Hannah and me. I am always not ready to go when we do decide to go out, so I usually use the time to get ready and be picked up and then go shopping. When I talk about shopping, most of the time I just hit the second hand stores...LOL. I am a bargain shopper, at times for kicks and my you know if I can find nothing else, it is sort of my therapy from boredom. I find new things at the second hand stores though being donated from retailers. So, I make out when I find some things that I like.
However, every time I pass by a store that has some of the latest fashion, I often wish I have the money to buy some. Just not now, and maybe never if I don't go out there, get an education and hassle someday. Okay, enough blabbing for now, I am supposed to be washing the dishes right now, because my husband wants to cook dinner. He does the cooking most of the time when it comes to American food, I step behind because the master doesn't want me to ruin the dinner. Afraid that I might experiment...LOL. I can be wicked, I change the flavor and well, my husband likes to stick to what he is used to eating. I am always trying something new, I tell you.

I never knew that shorts that most teenagers or young urban men wear today are called Roca. My brothers has them, and I think they are very comfortable to wear, and I would say they look great on just anyone who wishes to wear them. Anyway, I only learned about such new trend in fashion of clothing from a website that has Roca Wear Shorts being sold at affordable prices. Roca is said to be quite a popular wear for young urban men and women all over the world. However, it is no longer just the urban people that can wear them but also those who finds them interesting. Everyone has got to have one now. Roca wear is dominating in the lifestyle apparel brand for almost everybody. Customers are pleased with the fact that they are uniquely designed and quality made in terms of fabrications as well. The details are so intricate in which Roca Wear doesn't just appeal to hip and urban customers but everybody who likes them. I would like to have a few for my Spring or Summer wear. Roca is good for just going around, you know. They are convenient to wear.

I can tell that Tiana had a blast seeing the Easter Bunny at her school today. She was telling me that they played a game and had candies. They also had lunch with the Easter Bunny, so, wow, what a trip she and her peers had today. It is one of the nice things that kids in the western world get to enjoy, have fun seeing all the holiday figures and always have a day off (when it snows especially) and holiday breaks. Who wouldn't like that if you are a school kid, right? Now in a couple of days, Tiana will be off school for Spring break. I will be able to rest again not having to get up so early in the morning to prepare her for school which is always a drag. I dread it anyway, becuase I always feel tired and weak, must be from skipping meals...[blush]. Talk about living healthy. I really need to get myself together soon and have a healthy habit. I am letting myself go, I feel worn out and rundown. I am out of gas sometimes...LOL. Anyway, I just need to get something done I have been waiting to finish this afternoon. And yeah, I didn't go out because I needed to clean the house instead. My husband asked me if I wanted to go, and I said, maybe, I might, but then he asked me to clean up the house, and I said, I don't feel too good for that. Well, then he said that, if I am sick, I should stay home then...LOL. He got me there...LOL. There are times that when I am not in the mood, I just don't want to do anything really, but when it comes to shopping when all I do is be pleased with looking around and find some neat looking clothes, it is more like a therapy for me. I am always up for shopping, it gets me excited, my mood can change...LOL. Oh, girl stuff, I tell you. As for shopping and eating out, we'll go tomorrow or the next day-much better-when Tiana is off school.
