Tour Booking

This month, we have the three visitors coming from the Philippines and Spain. My husband and I enjoyed having them live with us for few weeks because they keep us busy every day. We made an instant cruise booking to Bahamas, tour them to Disney theme parks, went to Key West and St. Petersburg and accompany them wherever they go. That experience was a blast and we love it. We will definitely have another cruising with them when they come next year. Anyway, we are planning to travel to Europe or Asia on February so; we check tour booking. We are saving money now so we can push through our vacation early next year. Our visitor from the Philippines already invited us to call him when we need a van to roam around the historical places in the country. My husband is really excited to visit these places especially the old American Military Bases. We wanted to hire a van with the driver so; we can go places wherever we want without the fear of being lost in the area. Besides, we wanted to invite some family and friends too that is why we wanted a van which is good for 13 passengers.

Her Best Career Ever

In an unexpected place, I saw my friend from college. I was inside the shopping mall and she saw me first then, she invited me for a cup of coffee. We were both teachers back home and for so many years, I never heard from her. I thought she was teaching but, she told me she went back to school and study law. With sheer determination, she graduated with flying honors. She is now a lawyer and happily married living in California. She loves her career now and currently busy with a tough case brief. She did not elaborate but, she said she had no regrets having to switch careers. She loves people and it was her dream to defend the cases of those who are wrongly accused. Anyway, she is working in a firm that provides legal advice and legal counsel in many areas such as product liability, injury, accident, and employment law. They have a mission to provide consumer protection so; when clients seek for justice in cases like wrongful death, brain injury, and birth injury, their firm is the best in the area. Well, the meeting that we have was a blessing in disguise. We were able to catch up with what is going on with our lives. It was a real fun day for both of us!

Breast Augmentation

Are you curious to see the difference of breast augmentation before and after? I saw the picture and it was actually pretty interesting because there was a big difference. Actually, I am referring to the pictures of my friend and we compared both of her old and new pictures. She was contented of how she looks at present. In fact, it builds her confidence and she is so happy with her decision. For me, she looks great already and having the augmentation, she becomes even better to herself and how she perceived life. I have nothing against it because it helps women who suffered low self-esteem and depression. As long as it improves the physical health and physical appearance of women, I can tolerate it. The social life and self-confidence of my friend bounced back dramatically. The outcome of her breast augmentation is a positive testament that good things happen to this particular science advancement. It gives her freedom to be herself and it builds back her self-esteem. We supported her decision as well as her family and my friend is enjoying her social life. Her life is more interesting and fun so; that matters most. Are you planning to have a breast augmentation too? Check out the link today.

The Christian Dating

I was a teacher for more than ten years and because of my work, I have no time to go out and party. After school, I was already tired when I get home. The traffic as I commute from my workplace to home would make me lazy to go out and have the fun. I forgot about myself as I become workaholic. When I was in my thirties, I started dating seriously. I was really praying that through Christian dating I will find my partner of life. God must have heard my prayers because I married to a believer of Jesus Christ. We are married for four years now and we are both happy. How about you? Have you found your soul mate yet? Just pray that God will show you the way to meet the man of your dreams. Did you know that compatibility is very important to make a relationship lasts longer? You need to get along with what you believe and what makes you like to do. If you do not get along, one must know how to compromise to work out the relationship. Marriage without God is nothing. Make sure that when you get married; make sure that your marriage will be under the pillar of Christianity!

Planking in the Philippines

When I saw these pictures, I was blown away! He loves Planking and he would brag about it to his students. Oh yeah, he is a high school teacher from the Philippines. If you wanna know why he is into planking, let me know and you can interview him yourself (",).The picture above is hard to do because of those slippery green algae on the rock hehehe. he did it though!
Planking is a Lying Down Game and as you can see, he was face down in an unusual place. His hands touch the sides of the body. If this is a competition, the selection of the location to execute the planking is the best because the place is unusual and original.The planking above is hard to execute too. Imagine him doing this with teachers and students watching him (",). I bet I can't do planking because my nose will look like a bulldog in 2 minutes, LOL. Good thing Choi has pointed nose to level his body while doing the planking. Planking refers to mimicking a wooden plank and rigidity of the body must be performed to make a good planking. My friend did well!
Choi, get up! The old man just spit on that walkway, LOL! Kidding! Good Job Choi!

Some People Are Born Tactless

Just this week, I encountered a person who is tactless! I would not mind if I know her for so long but, I just met her as an acquaintance maybe three months ago. I was a bit reluctant to befriend her because she talk too much. There was a red flag when I was with her ONE TIME. She talk most of the time about the people she met and how miserable their life is. I do not like to listen to stories of people who cannot defend themselves. That was a red flag for me. Some people are born tactless, this maybe vague as a statement but, it means deeper than that and she was so tactless. This person did not respect anyone and she thought she was better than anyone else! It never occurred to her that what she said was insensitive. I wish her well but, I do not want to be associated with this type of personality. I smell trouble!

Parking Lot Near the Cruise Terminal

When I book our cruise ship vacation, the next step that I have in mind was whether to fly to Miami or rent a car. When I check all the rental cars such as Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz and Alamo, all cars were rented out from Orlando for October 17. The only option left was drive our own car and leave it at a private parking lot.I searched for parking lots nearby the port and I found one. I reserved it for 4 days and it cost us $48 and the transfer from the parking lot to the port is free for two people. The parking lot is Premier Parking Ventures and the place is okay because it's nearby the port. When we arrive the parking lot, the place is small and the system is chaotic. We give our reservation paper and park to wherever we want. Then, we waited for the van to pick us up and transport us to the port. We arrived first but, we were accommodated on the second van. It was raining and we were standing out in the rain. They have no waiting area.

Residency or No?

Written by Fermin Washington:

I recently received a job offer as a resident at a hospital. I have the night shift, which makes me feel worried about being gone during the night. I checked out Home Security santa ana to make me feel a little safer about leaving my wife safe at night. I want to someday be the chief of the entire staff, but that means that I need to take this job on the night rotation staff. I wouldn’t even be worried about it if my wife hadn’t told me literally 2 days ago that she’s pregnant with our first child. She’s a night nurse, so my offer to go on nights would have been perfect, but now she’s going to step down from her position to be a mom. I’m already worried about leaving them at home alone at night. I guess we will deal with all of these things within the next few weeks- and I need to decide if I want to take this job or not! It always seems like everything happens at once! I’m praying for guidance in this situation.

Such a Beautiful Sky

Isn't it beautiful? Here I go again, doing my sky watching! When we have our short road trip to Mississippi last month, I told my husband that we will have to go to Ship Island. We will ride a ferry for less than $25 each. Since we have an extra day to wander the Gulf Coast, he agreed but, when we were on the port, the captain told us that they postponed the sail to Ship Island. There was a weather disturbance and the storm was really bad.
While hubby and the captain where talking, my eyes were glued on the sky! OMG! The sky was amazing and the clouds were like a painting!
The sky was great but, they know better when there is a coming storm!We went back to our hotel and later on went shopping in the Singing River Mall. I used to call it as the "ghost mall" because there was nobody there! Few customers and the price at Macys and other stores, so unbelievable!What a glorious day it was! I had fun shopping and later that day, hubby and I went to the Isle to play the slot machines. Okay! I lost a bit of money but, it was alright! We had fun anyway! This is the view of the Gulf Coast!

Limo Services For Important People

Are you planning to attend a special event? Do you want to impress someone? There are so many things that you can do to make the event a memorable one. For a start, you can hire a Limo service to pick up the person. That would be a memorable one right? When my niece had her senior prom, her mom booked the Chicago Limo Services to pick up her daughter and 8 pairs of her classmates. It was a grand event for the teenagers and when they arrived at the venue, all eyes were at them.

They look so gorgeous in their gowns and tuxedos. The best part was the arrival of the Limo service in the venue. It's always on our minds that when someone rides a Limo, they should be an important person or dignitaries. Well, they got their wishes! Their entrance to the prom was grand and they like all the attention. If you are looking for a limo service in Chicago, check out the Website of Pontarelli. You can also choose a Lincoln Sedan for a group of 4 people or a charter limo bus for a group of important people. Just visit the Website for more information today!

Ocean Springs Cemetery

When we were in Mississippi about a month ago, we visited the cemetery where my FIL was laid to rest. He died of old age and he a peaceful death.When he was alive, we visited this cemetery and my hubby would always water the grass. His mother was laid here too. Now, my FIL and MIL was laid to rest beside each other, that's his wishes.Anyway, we missed him a lot. It was fun listening to him with all his military experiences. He was in the Air Force and he retired as a Major.

Don't Give Up

I have a friend back home who shared to me her psychiatric nursing experience. Part of her curriculum was to go to the mental institution to learn and gather information about her assigned client. Her two week experience in there taught her a lot. She said that what she saw was quite depressing but she tried to be strong and not get affected to keep her going.

I’ve learned from my friend that most mentally ill persons were the ones taking prohibited drugs to the point of abusing them. It’s also a sad reality that most of them belong to well to do family. They could have used their money for a better purpose. Instead, they spent their money on drugs, had the methadone addiction until they were sent to the institution for they cannot take care of themselves anymore. Finding a cure for this takes a long process. They have to be treated, evaluated and later sent to rehabilitation center.

But if you are a parent to the child suffering from drug addiction, all you have to do is provide support. It helps if you communicate often and listen to what your child is saying. Usually, a child who resorts to addiction had a very low self-esteem. But with your continuous support coupled with prayers, your child will find the right path again.

Work and Vacation

I was waiting for my husband outside a cafe' shop and I saw this huge coffee grinding machine on the window of the cafe'. You can actually see it grinding the whole coffee turned into powdered coffee. This goes to prove that the coffee they used is fresh and pure, and no added ingredients.Anyway, these buildings are Hard Rock and Beau Rivage, both are hotels/resorts and casinos. After we bought the coffee, we went inside Hard Rock to have our late breakfast in the buffet. That was an awesome day for us. A vacation and work at the same time.

Hassle-Free Parking in Orlando

If you are a frequent flyer, I guess you are already familiar with the airport rules and regulations. I live in Orlando for three years now but every time I go to the airport to travel somewhere, I made sure to abide the airport’s policy to avoid encountering any problem. Remember, ignorance of the law excuses no one.

And when my friends from other places came to visit me, my husband and I always find a way to pick them up at Orlando airport. However, we are not allowed to wait for a long time so we have to inform our visitors to give us their estimated time of arrival and give us a call if they are ready to be picked up. We have to tell them this since we just cannot park anywhere.

And as a law abiding citizen, we have to follow orders. I suggested to my husband to avail Orlando Airport Parking so that we need not worry if we wait for a long time. Besides, the fee is not that expensive and once we purchase it, we can make a parking reservation online. Visit the site that offers airport parking if you are interested to make a reservation with them.

Fight For Your Right

To survive, people seek for work and ready to render their services. People accept a job that fits to his description not only to earn a living but also hoping that the company will give him the benefit that is due him. Employers hire people because they need them. And people should give what is expected of them by the company. In other words, they need each another. They are a team for one cannot survive without the other.

However, there are companies that give unfair treatment to their employees. They are not following the right protocol to the point of abusing their workers. Here, employees’ performance is affected and the company will also suffer. Workers will not be inspired to work if they are not compensated properly.

Employers should be aware of wage laws before hiring applicants. The government carried out a standard law that requires them to follow. And if unfortunately you have experienced this, you have every right to complain and every right to sue the company. Just look for an experienced, aggressive and respectable team of attorneys and they will help you deal with it. And if you think you are short of budget, there is a team of attorney that you can find online who will only charge you for a minimal fee.

Quality Nursing Scrubs

The sister of my boss has graduated from her Nursing course. No more lab coat for her research classes, no more uncomfortable scrubs to wear for her hospital rounds, and no more school uniforms. She was just relieved that school is over and now, she is so excited to land a job in the hospital.

I have another friend whose son will eventually start with his hospital rounds and duties, and he is looking for not so expensive scrubs to use. Good thing I remembered the website I have recently visited: blueskyscrubs.com. This is the Website that I always recommend to my friends. Few of them bought sets of scrubs which were on sale few weeks ago and they love the product. Surely, there are many styles and designs to choose from. There are even many colors available so, wearing scrubs will not be too boring to imagine.

With the diaspora of students rushing in to be part of the community of nursing professionals, there is the demand of stylish and comfortable scrubs. There are growing companies that invested in the development of fashionable scrubs too. Who would want all nurses to look the same 24/7 right? Not only medical professionals wear scrubs on the job, special education teachers wear it too. A certain SPED school has carried out that, and some friends who work there have sought for scrubs with child friendly designs.

Flood Damage

The devastating effects of flood can be felt even from afar. I have friends in the Gulf Coast area who have experienced the cost of flood damage austin. The water surges damage their properties at no mercy. Some of them have relatives who have lost properties and that include houses and cars. Floods are devastating because there are bridges that need government attention, as well as some cleaning up after the storm that caused the flooding.

Now, if you are facing the same, or know someone who may be having issues with floods and all other calamities and tragedies, I found this Website which is sensible enough to read through: http://www.thesteamteam.com/austin-restoration-services/smoke-fire.shtml. I am sure there will be plenty of information there for you.

It is even more expensive to rebuild after a tragic event. We all know that. But then again, it is better than nothing, right? If you have the property that you wish to sell or rent out, you will not be able to do so if the said property is not restored to its primal beauty. So knowing who or where to go for restoration job is kind of tricky. Some people just jump in and ride the waves of someone's unfortunate experiences. Well, my friends are doing okay so far and they are just lucky to survive the devastation.

I Love Boots

I love collecting shoes and I feel really blessed to be getting most of the shoes in my collection at a discounted rate. I wish next time there will be discounts applicable for corral boots as I love to own the corral cowgirl boots. I also want to give it away to my friend as a birthday gift in the next two weeks. Now that it is Christmas Season and it is just around the corner, shoes would be a great gift to my family. I would certainly go for the corral boots in Black Goat with red lizard underlay or the distressed red wing and heart. Oh how I love them! Wearing boots especially during the cold season helps keep the feet warm and wearing it is a fashion for me too.

Anyway, I saw this really nice dress that could be worn perfectly with any of the two boots I mentioned above. Dreaming about wearing all of them is just so convincing that I just got to have them. I wish Santa would give them and wrap them for on Christmas day. Well, we'll see. Oh Santa, just want you to know that I have been so good this year, and I have been doubly generous so, I won't mind getting a double gift, (grinning now)!

While On the Road

As you can see I have my pc here while I was in the passenger seat. My husband was driving and I need to open my email to check on something. I am not using the wifi access of this Ford Edge Limited Edition because it was not hook up. I used my USB connect. I can access my emails and Internet using my Droid Phone and Blackberry but, I want to read it using a large page. Here I am, checking my page online. When I blog, I am comfortable using my laptop and it is so convenient to have my own USB connect. While on the road, my gadgets kept me busy.

Air Soft Gun

Air soft guns are the replica firearms that propel plastic pellets. My friend has an Air Soft Gun which he calls BB's. This is designed as non-lethal and supposedly used for recreational purposes only. My friend used his BB's to scare away predator animals in their farm. Usually, air soft guns are used for games where combat situations are simulated. They used replica of pistols, rifle, grenades as well as land mines. There is a space in our area where players wear a complete set of uniforms to make it realistic during the game.

Did you know that air soft guns are also used in Historical re-enactment of war situations? This game maybe a re-enactment based from history or current events and it is popular in Alabama. They are using the automatic electric guns, hybrid guns, low and medium powered electric guns. Some companies manufacture a realistic high powered air soft rifle and these air soft guns are designed for the police and military for their training purposes. It is an activity which is based on military role-playing with a mission to accomplish. Remember, air soft guns are meant to be non-lethal.
