Columbine

 Columbine flowers are beautiful.  These shots  were taken at my SIL's garden.  My neighbor has some columbine too but they are in pink.  She gave me some seeds to plant but I am not sure if  it's going to grow hehehe.

Columbine and  lupine are two of my husband's favorite flowers.

Vacation Fun

We just got back from our vacation in Disney World. It was a pleasurable journey for both my family and the family we've met down there.  Before we left last week, we  signed the "Hold Mail Request"  form at the post office and have them delivered   yesterday.  Yesterday when we arrived, the  mail lady delivered  a stack of mails  at our mailbox.  Having vacation is so much fun, if only we could do it more often but the cost is  way expensive lol.

Speaking of mails and mail boxes , there are so many selection of  residential mailboxes and other mailbox accessories over at MailBoxPoint, the market place for mailboxes.  Mail Box Point  have  different kinds such as  multi unit mailboxes, single unit mailboxes, slots and mail drops, components, signage, and decor.  So if you are in the market for  any mailbox or  other decorations, take a peek at the  online store I mentioned above and see their huge selection.  I love this hose holder they've got there.  Before I forgot, most of their  products comes with free shipping so that would be a great savings for you!

Big Baby

My SIL's dog, Fat Boy, is a big baby.

He is very playful  and harmless.

Chris said that  it cost $75  to cut his thick hair, whew!

Fatboy and Ms. Burrito are the same, they both likes their belly rubbed hehehe.

This is my last scheduled post.  We will be  coming back  from our getaways tomorrow.  Your  honest opinions on my posts are greatly appreciated.

Online Training Courses

My friend here in the area works at a hospital as an LPN.  She wants to  to be a nurse so now she is   attending an online classes to finish her degree.  There are online training courses that you can take these days especially at  personal trainer school like the Allied Health Institute.  I am not  planning to work yet but when  both of our kids are attending school, I might get some online training  courses  in order for me to  find a job  that I could while  my kids are in school.   

The Eyes

 When I nature trek, I notice even the odd things such as these beauties.

To me, they are the eyes of the trees that watches  us and other  creatures.

The Music Video Site

If you are a music lover like me, you would love this music video site that I found online.  You will be able to find Eminem Space Bound, Limp Bizkit Gold Cobra, Lenny Kravitz Stand and many more.  When I was still working, I couldn't  work in the office without turning on either our  radio  inside the office or my yahoo music.  I am inspired to work when there is music that I could listen to.  I collected some  CDs of my favorite artists and even brought some of those collection when I migrated here in the States.  I still listen to it whenever I have  free "Me-time" but most of the time, I listen to  my children's music hehehe.

Sometimes, I browse from different  online  sources just to get updates of the  latest   beat and hip in the music world.  The recent  website that I  usually checks on is the Muzu TV, a place where you can watch the official music video of your favorite singers or artists.  So if you are into music and you want to know the latest trend in the music industry, just tune in to Muzu TV. It is like  watching your favorite   artists on MTV.  Please visit any of the links provided above for more hot  music videos.

Carps

We saw a lot of carps down the waterfall at Tomlinson Run Creek. They were huge but of course no one wants to catch carp.

I took these shots from the top with  a point and shoot Sony cybershot.

Our son wanted to  go down there and catch some fish hehehe.

Hubby said that this place used to be  beautiful but now it's filthy due to  Canadian Geese's poop.

This is a scheduled post.  Thank you for visiting.

Real Estate in Hawaii

My husband spent much of his younger years being a world traveler.  He has visited numerous countries and has even resided in a few over the years.  He always has something positive to say about every place that he's visited but tends to be most fond of those with a tropical climate.  He is particularly fond of the Hawaiian islands because of the abundance of wonderful things they have to offer.  We've even talked about relocating to Hawaii sometime in the future.

  Hawaii real estate listings are a great way to see what types of homes are available in paradise and gives you an idea of the types of  homes that are within your budget.  Information regarding low-interest financing and relocation assistance are available to take the stress out of the entire process and it is all just a click away.  To find your dream home, simply click on the helpful link provided above.  

Butterfly, butterfly, please don't fly.

While watching my burritos and hubby enjoying themselves in the pool at Starvaggi, this mini butterfly landed on Ms. Burrito's sandal.

While I was waiting for my point and shoot camera to  clear up, I was saying "Butterfly, butterfly, please don't fly".   I zoomed but it came out blurry.  Oh well, at least she did not fly hehehe.

Different kinds of Lockers

I am not sure if the  my daughter's  school offer  a safe locker outside the  classroom.  All I know is that, when my daughter was in kindergarten, they each have a  small locker to store their stuff in.  I find it pretty neat.  I am sure that  employees and teachers there have office lockers to keep their  teaching materials and other  stuff that they need inside the classroom.

I can't wait till my kids can participate to the sports that the school has.   I think that my son would love to play  football basing from his interest in playing/passing football to his dad.   It would be nice to have a used lockers football in the school or  athletic lockers for that matter so  sports fanatic students can securely store their gears.

Anyhow, if you are looking for lockers of any kind such as lockers metal, steel lockers, or aluminum bleachers please try to visit the links I have provided above as they have so many selection.   They can definitely  supply what you need.

Beautiful Sunset

 Photos of the sunset that I took  the other days when went for a walk in the neighborhood

Tiles for the Bathroom

My husband and I were discussing about his plans  on  remodeling our bathroom.  We are not doing it this year  but hopefully when the budget is available, we would do it next year.  My husband wants to  take off the pink tiles that  was  laid in there and  put some kind of mosaic tile.  He  is adores this kind of tiles ever since he saw how beautiful it looks at my SIL when she laid the tiles in her bathroom.

Mosaic wall tiles are very classy, it adds  a rich texture to the look of the bathroom.  I told my husband that we should just keep the old tiles  because  it's not really practical to keep dumping  money in the house as the housing market  is continuously  collapsing.  If ever we have to sell this house, we will never get back those investment we put into it.  I do however agree with him that adding glass mosaic tiles in our bathroom  would  make it look nicer.  Am not just into spending too much  especially that our budget is very limited.  Accumulating debts because of home improvement is not a wise thing.

Dotted Lily

I am not sure if this kind of flower belongs to the lily family but am guessing it is as the flowers resembles one. Our neighbor has a lot of this in their front house.

Stainless Steel Appliances

When we bought our kitchen appliances, we settled for stainless steel. We replaced  the old  dishwasher and  microwave so all our appliances matches.  We are planning to  replace our kitchen sink so hubby is  browsing around for  some stainless steel undermount sinks that would suit  and match  all our appliances of course.   My husband is a rooster so  he  wants  things to match and go with everything  else accordingly.  It's hard sometimes but  good in a way.

Art Prints

Shepard Fairey is a website that offers different kinds of art prints.  I saw the popular Obama Hope art prints in their site and it cost a fortune to me but it is really beautifully made.  So if you are  very fond of the current President of the United States, you should check out the site.  They have so many selections of the  the  shepard fairey art and shepard fairey prints.  They guarantee their art print to be authentic so you do not have to worry about getting a counterfeit ones.

I am very fascinated with  art prints even though I am not an artist.  It just fascinates me  that people can really do a good job creating those art pieces.  If you would browse their selection, you would be in awe too. Shepard Fairey Print has a huge selection of authentic out of print of collectibles and art prints,  Please  visit the site if you want to see their beautiful collection obey giant art and shepard fairey prints.

Religious Statues

These statue images were taken in front of St. Paul Church and St. Paul School.

Worry ends where faith in God begins.

In prayer, God hears more than words:

He listens to your heart."

Vacation Tours

I just visited one of my friend's blog who lives in one of the beautiful countries in Asia and she posted some photos of their recent travel to Bangladesh. I thought that was India she featured but I was wrong. That's one great thing about being married to a person who works internationally as you can explore the world in every assignment they go to.

Look around you and just appreciate of what you have instead of complaining of the things that doesn't go your way. There are better things to focus onto so set aside the negativity.

4th of July Bloom

I forgot what my SIL called this flower, according to her this blooms during the celebration of the 4th of July.

Thanks  to those who identified the above flower as Bee Balm, hope I won't forget anymore.

Above is also a  bloom  from my SIL Jill's garden, I believe it is a some kind of daisy.

Screen Printing that Lasts

The school where I formerly work back in my country has recently celebrated  their 50th  Foundation Anniversary.  One of my friend who work in the President's office sent my family four custom t-shirts  with the logo and theme of their celebration.  That was very thoughtful of my friend to sent each of us  a customized t-shirts.  It made me feel like I am still  part of their work force, it made me so nostalgic.

If you are looking for a company that offers a screen printing that would lasts,  try Bender Apparel & Signs, INC.  They offer custom embroidery and screen printing that  lasts for  a long time.  When you are  ordering a product to be given out to customers, you would want to get the ones that is high quality so that the impression  will also last in the mind of your customers.  You can get an instant quote to any of the product that you want to order at their website.  Their product includes custom t-shirts, fleece wear, golf shirts, ladies apparel  tailored shirts, outer wear, hats, and different kinds of accessories.  You may click the logo below to visit the website or you can click the link I have provided above.

Blinds are Clean

I am so glad that all our window Blinds are now clean. It was bothering me in previous weeks but after I finally cleaned them, I am happy and so is my family.  How often do you clean your blinds?  Cleaning blinds is  a big pain in the  behind lol.

Pink Shoes - Got it for Free!

Yup, you have read it right. I got this pair of beautiful Life Stride shoes for only two Listia credits. I am not very active with Listia but once in a while, if I do remember, I check and post something to facebook and tweet on twitter so I could earn points.    

It's been a while since I last use my listia credits so the  other day, I bid on this beautiful shoes and won it. Originally, I supposed to pay the shipping but the seller was so  nice that she shipped it for free, awesome!  The shoes has never been worn, the seller forgot that she put it in her closet after she bought it.  

So what are you waiting for, sign up at Listia and get some  stuff that you like for free.  It is also a  good way to get rid of the things that you don't need anymore.

Steel Building in the Area

If you want to see old steel buildings, you should come to our town. The once blooming steel mill here in the area is  slowly being forgotten.  I told my husband that one day, I would love to go in one elevated area and just capture the whole  building for  souvenir.   I think that the management should  reinstate its operation to give  some job opportunities to the constituents here in the area.

Handing out Business Card

Handing out business cards is one cheaper way to advertise your business. You can easily spread out the word to your friends and other colleagues through  giving them your contact information. Business card comes in handy too when a customer is looking for a quick contact  number of  a business.

Palm Shadows

The shadow of the palm water fountain over at Starvaggi's Splash Zone.

I find the shadows of this  water fountain very pretty as every water has it's own  shadows.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Light Fixtures

We were invited for a dinner over at our friend's house last Friday. My friend Raquel cooked a sumptuous dinner and we had a bonfire afterwards. They just recently moved the the new house that they bought so they are still arranging stuff. Her husband is changing some of the old stuff around the house including ceiling fans, window panes, and lighting fixtures. The house they bought is beautiful but it was built years ago so some of the interior part are old.

They were telling us about the website where they found discount ceiling fans and fluorescent lighting fixtures. They want to replace all of it so the more discounted price they can find the better. It also give us an idea where to get some discount lighting fixtures for our basement. The former owner of this house used these long fluorescent lights and my husband wants to replace them in the future. We have so many things to upgrade in this house and saving the money we need is a bit of challenge. One way of doing it is finding the stuff we need on the right price so these online stores are a great options. Glad that ecolightingdesigns.com has many different selection to choose from.

Halogen Light Bulbs

One of my close friends, back home, owns a photo studio.  They  were the ones we called on to take our wedding photos.  I'm glad we did because they really did a great job. They are also the ones  shooting  the  photos for  graduating students at the school where I used to work.  Their photo studio is big and when you go inside, you will see some of the high-tech camera equipment and  Halogen Light Bulbs that they use.  

Halogen light bulbs remind me of my former job.  I worked in the student affairs office, so at the beginning of each school year, our office would   conduct an orientation program  for the freshmen students.  This helpful and exciting event is always held at the AV Hall. I have never been fond of these events because my office was always extremely busy running here and there preparing all the things that we need.   Things such as taking minutes, documentation,  reserving snacks, and other miscellaneous stuff, always proved to be energy draining.  

I learned a great deal from that job though.  I learned how to deal with many people from different departments and work together as a team.  The employees at  the AV Hall know me well because we always held our activities at their building.  Oh boy, I got  very nostalgic reminiscing about the past lol.  Anyhow, if you ever need a quality halogen light bulb,  just visit the link above and you will find a huge assortment to choose from.  BulbAmerica.com has what you need at very affordable prices.   

Yard Art

I took a snap of this  unique  yard art   in Chester.  I always  glanced at it every time we go to my BIL's house.  There is one thing that I want to take a picture of too at my SIL Chris's neighborhood.  It's a big old plow that they  used to  decorate their yard.

Hydrangea is one of the many blooms during summer  that I adore.

Electronics Parts

Cell Phone Cases and other cellular parts can be easily find online through partsimple.com. I was showing this site to my husband because his cellphone doesn't have a back cover. He lost it sometime last year but he never got the chance to replace the part that is missing. There are so many selection that he could pick out there but let us see if he does it. 

Getting a cellphone is my next project since I need something that the school can contact me to when I am not inside the house. I used to have one but I decided to send to one of my sisters. Now I regretted that I did, I wish that I could have kept it. But oh well, I just have to get a new one.
