Candle Lights

Special occasion? Nah, but I have to light up my candles in the kitchen because I fried some smoked fish hahaha.  One of my techniques in order for the fish odor not to   spread from  the whole house.  Putting diluted water and dish washing liquid near the frying pan also helps.

How about you, what do you do  to eliminate fish odor aside from  spraying  air freshener?

Promotional Product Experts

I chatted with my friend from back home and she told me that they are  very busy preparing for the foundation day celebration.    I like this event when I was still working there as you get to enjoy  some freebies like custom imprinted pen and tee shirts.  It's one way of thanking the existing  clients of the school and a way to attract more students to enroll in the institution.

Broken Plate - ABC Wednesday

B is for broken plate.  I feel bad that I broke this one accidentally.  I opened the door of our  kitchen cabinet and it came down flying.  The result is a "Awwwww Mom, that's my favorite plate" comment from my burrito.

We have two of these and the other one    got broken too last week.  Is it a coincidence that they broke almost at the same time, a bad omen, or it's their time to retire already?

Anyhow, I am contributing this to ABC Wednesday.

Unlocked Cellphone

I still haven't buy  a cell phone because I am still saving for it, hah!  If ever I would get one, I would like the unlocked phone because you can use it with different GSM as long as it is compatible with the unit.  Since I will be using it to call my  family back home and this kind of phone can also be used with other GSM carriers around the world.  I should have kept my husband former cellphone hehehe.   I gave it to my sister in the Philippines.  Below is a Nokia E71 with an integrated GPS and Wifi.  That's what I want.  It is now sale online but I can't still buy it yet for now.

Drifting Ice

 These were taken  few days ago when I fetched my daughter to school.

iPhone Pokies

I was video chatting to  my friend who is now living in Australia,  when she  joyfully  exclaimed:
 "I love this!"
"You love what?" I asked.
"Oh, it's this  iPhone Pokies I have been playing since last week."

Wahhhh I got lost because I wasn't sure of what was she talking about hahaha.  Anyhow she told me that sometimes,  she would  play online pokies or the free pokies that she can access through her iPhone.  Oh boy, I feel old because I don't have any ideas about these kind of stuff let alone playing through your iPhone.  Well, it make sense as I don't have iPhone at all lol.

To make our conversation a little more interesting, I tried researching about this pokies online  and found out that  the site   offers answers to  new players who have questions about this game.  You can actually play the free ones without  creating an account.  So if this is the  game that you like to play, give their site a visit and explore your possibilities.

 We bought a pack of this twistee (sorry forgot the name of it) art stuff from the store for a dollar.

My daughter had so much fun creating  different kinds of shape.  I saved half of them and made it into these twistee flowers and put it on top of Ms. Burrito's kitchen set.

Ceiling Fan

When we bought our house, there is no source of lighting in a big living room. So my husband bought this huge and gorgeous ceiling fun and installed it in our living room ceiling. The problem that we encountered was that the item that he installed is a bit long so whenever we had a visitor that is tall, they always bump their head to it. So he decided to removed it again. Now our ceiling look like the photo below.

Black Lady

This black lady cat always follow me and my daughter whenever I fetch Ms. Burrito from school. Our home is located 5 minutes away from school so I just walk whenever I am the one scheduled to pick her up.  

Last Wednesday, she followed us  home and invited herself in.  She stayed  for about 20 minutes so I started   telling her to leave.  But black lady did not want to leave.  She even hissed and  tried to scratch me when I tried to pick her up.  

I got scared as she never did that before.  She really did not want to leave but I have to let her go as our dog was outside and I need to let him in.

See how she makes herself comfortable.  She was  running around our house and refused to leave.

Finally, since I couldn't pick her up, I scared her with my wooden spoon and led  her to the door.

It took me 10 minutes to really let her out, whew.  So next time, no more  cat inside our home lol.  You are no longer  welcome to our home black lady as you  hissed and tried to scratch me.

Excellent Customer Service

I think most of us would always want the best customer service from the business entities that we deal into, right? I always feel great when somebody in the company is willing to help you with your inquiries and other issues that you want some clarification.

They would walk you through step by step in order for you to get familiarize with the games and all. You can also find the best sites online that are filtered to be safe and secure.  So  rest assured that you can play without any worries of being scammed.

Light and Snow

 We stop at a red light   one night  from  my FIL going home, so I decided to take a photo of the snow in our car's windshield.  I was surprised to see the outcome.  The combination of the snow and the  street light is gorgeous!

A Car Connection

We recently returned from a military tour in the Republic of South Korea where we were used to seeing, for the most part, only Korean made automobiles.  I was amazed at how many different models exist in Korea that never make it to the U.S. market.  The few years that we spent in Korea definitely changed my opinion of their automobiles, especially those made by Hyundai.  I really put my Hyundai to the test it passed with flying colors.  They have really improved on quality and style in the past few years and now compete rather well with their Japanese counterparts.  Check out the new styles at this hyundai Url.

For the business owners out there or just really large families, something compact simply won't cut it.  You need large seating capacity with enough power to pull the load.  The Chevrolet Express Url can link you with an affordable way to take care of business.  Mitsubishi has been around for many years.  Many people don't realize that they produced the Japanese "zero", a long-range fighter aircraft back in the forties.  Just like their cars today, they possessed speed and agility but lacked quality.  You can get proof of this with a simple visit to a used car lot.  If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm not very fond of anything Mitsubishi but some people absolutely love them.  If you are a fan of Mitsubishi, click on this Mitsubishi Lancer Url, to see what the new Lancer has to offer.

When I buy a car, my main focus is on quality and reliability.  This is the reason why I purchased a Honda.  Honda is tried and true and I absolutely love mine.  They seem to run flawlessly for years longer than any other make of vehicle with their only competitor being Toyota.  Check out the Honda Accord V6 Url to see what automotive quality is all about.

Vacation in Spain

My husband has visited so many countries in the past twenty years, with many of them being repeat visits.  His career in the United States Navy provided him the opportunity to visit a multitude of destinations that would be the envy of even the most avid traveler.  As for myself, I've been less fortunate, and have only been able to accompany him to a couple of foreign destinations.  Even though the number has been few, I really had a great time abroad and enjoyed the cultural experiences.

He finds it odd that he has bounced all over the globe but has yet to visit Europe, which is the reason that we chose it for our next overseas adventure.  I'd love to travel across Europe, spending some quality time in each of the countries, with Spain being the starting point.  We've seen Spain on the travel channel and it looks absolutely amazing.  The history, the art, and the food all look incredibly appealing and it should make for a very memorable vacation.

Any time we take a trip, regardless of distance, we always make it a point to plan things well in advance to the best of our abilities. We've already starting researching Spain and our various options for travel and accommodations so that we can make the most of our time and get the best value for our money.  Villas in Spain are definitely the way to go if you want to achieve complete relaxation in between the many tourist adventures.  They offer great locations and amenities, and you can choose contemporary or traditional style.
