House Remodeling

Eight months from now, we will be going back to our house in West Virgina. I can't wait till it's time for us to leave here, I miss Home! When we left a year ago, we were not able to finish remodeling our basement and we plan to do it as soon as we get back. Then we will turn our dining room into a bed room because we need extra bedroom for our son EJ. In remodeling the bedroom, we will need a help of professionals because we plan to put an additional bathroom in that room. My husband keep searching for contractors online and we stumbled upon Salt Lake City remodeling. They specializes in remodeling kitchens, baths, room additions, new construction, heating and air conditioning, electrical, plumbing, framing, finis carpentry, and tile and stone. Our house is a little bit older so we really need to upgrade those outdated part of our house to add more value to it. Salt City Lake remodeling look into all the possibilities that they could do to really upgrade your home. They make sure that what they will add will increase the value of the home. They also look into your financial capabilities if the project that you want to do is feasible so that everything will be taken care of.

Our Bunso

My youngest sister Mae will be graduating in High School this year, so before leaving the Philippines I assisted her in taking the entrance exam in Divine Word College. I also let her took the exam fo the student assistant program of the school and she luckily passed. The problem was during the interview with the VP for Finance in the school. He (a priest) told my sister that she won't be accepted to the program because he know that I can send my sister to school without the school's assistance. Isn't it unfair? She passed and besides, I'm just here to help. Its actually my husband that will going to finance not me because I don't have work here.

I hope that Mae can still get in despite of the interview result. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

rough ride

I wanted to experience how good it is to ride a motorbike on a dirt road from our place to town and going back. whew that was one rough ride adventure I've ever had hehehe. My brother owns a small motorcycle and my mother and I rode on the back. My butt was sore when we arrived home. Check out the bridge...

Boating Safety Guides

During our vacation in the Philippines, we celebrated my husband and son's birthday together and we held it at one of the resorts in Donsol where the famous whale sharks are. Before going in the ocean, the tour guide gave us instructions about the do's and don'ts. He gave each of us an instruction especially the man that will going to operate the boat. Drinking alcohol before going to the ocean is a big NO-NO for the safety of both the boaters and the whale sharks as well. I never swam with the whale shark before and having to experience that with my family and friends was awesome. Here's the close shot of the whale shark.

This summertime, most of the people's pick to unwind and relax is the ocean. That is why Arizona Game and Fish Department provide guide and information on how to safely spend your vacation without an accident. Boating OUI is imposed, meaning you can not operate a boat while you are under the influence of alcohol. The video below will give you insight about the rules. They assign boating law enforcement saturation to detect those people that are operating the boat in order to avoid accidents. So for you and other people's safety, don't drink alcohol if you plan to operate a boat.

The Pregnancy Guru

During my first pregnancy, there were a lot of questions and worries that popped into my mind. I was worried because my husband was overseas and my mind was clouded with so much questions that I guess all women feel during their first pregnancy. My morning sickness then was so bad that I had to bed rest for a couple of weeks at home. I had to close our doors and windows because I did not like the smell of the garlic from our neighbor's kitchen. The first trimester was a little tough because of so much vomiting, I was worried that I might hurt my baby. When I got through with that, I was worried about the responsibilities that I have when the baby arrives.

Mercedes Benz

Mango Shake

My daughter had a "love affair" with our hotel's Mango Shake. Almost everyday, I had to order one for her and we would sit under the shade of a tree and she would sip away. I really love Mango shakes too. I predicted that this would be her favorite once she had one and I was right.

Mr. Crabs

We got tired of eating at the hotel's resto and food places at the mall so we tried something new and special, we found this Mr. Crabs place in Legazpi. They serve variety of menus but their specialty of course is crab. The ambiance is great and the design inside is awesome. It is very spacious too, I don't think too many people eat there because there's only three customers the whole time we're there. It's a little bit pricy but it was good.

Here's EJ trying to pinch a loaf (pooping... opps sowi)Here's the well where we believe they stock some of the live crabs then but it was dried when we went there. I guess lack of customers forced them to dried it out hehehe.

Here I was with my bare hands, that's one thing I don't like about eating crab because it takes time to get the meat out from the shell. I forgot what it called for this recipe hehehe.. When my daughter got finished eating she took us a picture.. After we ate, we decided to take pictures outside because we love the land scape at the garden. One of the waiters saw us taking pictures so he went outside and took this one. We didn't the whole thing so we brought it and gave it to the tricycle driver who drove us home.

Being Tactical

My husband is constantly travelling because of his work and this Tactical Tailor suitcase would be awesome for him to have for his travels. It is made of quality material from a point of view of a man that experienced how hard it is for a service man to tackle every bit of the game in the military. He also like the tactical tailor pack for his training and work out stuff. The inexpensive price for a quality product is a great combination and treat to the service men.

The Church where we got married

This is in front of The lady of the Gate Parish, the church where my husband and I pronounced our wedding vows for the second time. We brought our kids there and attended mass. Before the start of the mass, we took pictures for a while. The church is located on top of hill, so when you are on top, you will see the beauty of Mayon Volcano.

While inside the church, EJ met a girl who he played with for the rest of the mass.

You can avail Veterans Loans with low rates which is beneficial especially to those that use their retirement pay to live.

Cirque Time!!!

I am a big fan of Celine Dion, in fact I have a collection of discs of most of her songs. When I was still working, I used to play all her songs in my computer everyday. My boss used to tease if I don't get tired of listening to it and I just smiled at her and say "I will never get tired of it." When I moved to the United States, I got excited because my husband told me that we could see Celine Dion perform in Las Vegas. But unfortunately we were not able to go until she retired from doing the show, too bad I wasn't able to see my idol. But anyhow, if I would be given a chance to go to Las Vegas, I would definitely love to watch one of the Cirque Las Vegas, Mystere. Mystere is a 1 and 1/2 hours circus style production, a combination of fanciful grace moves and beauty with strong and precise athleticism of 75 talented and versatile artists. I'm sure that this show will mark any children's mind because it suppose to be a production of colorful and eventful moves and patterns. It says that even if you watch this over and over again, you would find something new on it every time because the tricks keep changing before you even notice it. An amazing show that is worth watching for and it is suitable for the whole family. Costumes will sure delight children's interest too because they are brilliant in color and fashion. From the head-dresses to masks and exotic face paint, this complete the high veracity of the Mystère show. This will be shown on the whole month of April, so buy your tickets now by visiting bestofvegas.com. This would be a fun filled and memorable adventure in Vegas.

We all had fun because we got to update each other while playing pool. When we go back to West Virginia, my husband is planning to get us a pool table that we could put in our family room downstairs.

THE U IN JESUS

Before U were thought of or time had begun, God stuck U in the name of His Son. And each time U pray, you'll see it's true, You can't spell out JesUs and not include U. You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name, For U, He was born; that's why He came. And His great love for U is the reason He died. It even takes U to spell crUcified. Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand He rose from the dead, with U in His plan? The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew, and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U. When JesUs left earth at His upward ascension, He felt there was one thing He just had to mention. 'Go into the world and tell them it's true That I love them all - Just like I love U.' So many great people are spelled with a U, Don't they have a right to know JesUs too? It all depends now on what U will do, He'd like them to know, But it all starts with U. Will YOU post it? When Jesus died on the cross he was thinking of you! If you are one of the 7% who will stand up for him, post this. 93% of people won't post it.

HE is always there for us

I received this from email and thought of sharing this to you. This was broadcasted in CBS as well... Happy Sunday everyone!

A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife because she was reading the Bible and then buried her with their infant baby and an 8-year old daughter. The girls were buried alive! He then reported to the police that an uncle killed the kids. 15 days later, another family member died. When they went to bury him, they found the 2 little girls under the sand - ALIVE! The country is outraged over the incident, and the man will be executed at the end of July.

The older girl was asked how she had survived and she says:- 'A man wearing shiny white clothes, with bleeding wounds in his hands, came every day to feed us. He woke up my mom so she could nurse my sister,' she said. She was interviewed on Egyptian national TV, by a veiled Muslim woman news anchor. She said on public TV, 'This was none other than Jesus, because nobody else does things like this!'

Muslims believe Isa (Jesus) would do this, but the wounds mean He really was crucified, and it's clear also that He is alive! But, it's also clear that the child could not make up a story like this, and there is no way these children could have survived without a true miracle.

Muslim leaders are going to have a hard time to figure out what to do with this, and the popularity of the Passion movie doesn't help! With Egypt at the centre of the media and education in the Middle East , you can be sure this story will spread. Christ is still controlling and turning the world. Please let this story be shared..
