God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood

I told hubby to listen to me while I sang the song God Bless the USA and I can't help but, get sentimental. This song is so powerful. America is home. Let us all remember the unsung heroes who defend this country for freedom. Happy President's Day everyone.

If tomorrow all my things were gone,
I'd worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
With just my children and my wife.

I'd thank my lucky stars,
To be livin' here today.
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
And they can't take that away.

And I'm proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
To the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
And New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
And its time we stand and say.

That I'm proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I'm proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

Massive Meteor Hits Russia

Absolutely this is not a movie. This is for real. A big burst of fire in the sky caught on video below. You probably saw it on TV today (Feb.15, 2013) and the loud thundering sound caught on smart phones, surveillance camera and because of the technology advancement that we have in this generation, spectacular and horrific sight as this one caught everyone in the world by surprise. A meteor weighing 11 tons at supersonic speed hits Russia. According to the news, the speed of the meteor is 33,000 mph and when it hit the ground, it created a 20 ft wide crater. Thank God that there was no reported casualty but, hundreds of people were injured from shattered glasses.

You probably heard that there is an asteroid called Asteriod 2012 DA14 which will make the closest recorded pass from the Earth today as well. The meteor that hits Russia has no connection according to the scientists reported on the news.
 
A meteoroid is a particle of debris in the Solar System. A meteor is the visible streak of light from a meteoroid which is heated as it enters the Earth's atmosphere. When I was a child, we call it shooting star or falling star. It will become a meteorite when it reaches the ground and survives impact.

Well, old folks have the hunch that this is the sign of the end of the world. If it is, what can we do? Let us continue to appreciate our time in this world by Respecting others and Let us Love One Another. Stay safe everyone!

My Destiny by Katharine Mcphee

Did you watch the second season of SMASH this week? If you missed it, you should mark your calendar for next week's episode and .... onward because this show is thrilling and full of superb talents in acting and the music is jaw-dropping (wink). Katharine Mcphee is one of my favorite lead characters in SMASH. I remember her as a contestant in 2006 of the Fox reality show American Idol. She was my favorite but became the runner up while Taylor Hicks was named American Idol in season 5. Anyway, here’s one of her beautiful songs that I love to listen.

MY DESTINY by KATHARINE MCPHEE

I have always dreamed of this
I'll admit that there was something I missed
Wondering if it is for real
Every mistake, every wrong turn
Every time I lost my way
Lead me to this moment of bliss tonight.

With you finally I can break free
With you it's all changing in my destiny
Dream come true, it's so funny now that I see
How different life turned out to be.

You were always by my side
That you believed in me was enough reason why
I didn't stop, didn't give up, even if I sometimes I lost hope
I did my best and I am blessed in life

With you finally I can break free
With you it's all changing in my destiny
Dream come true, it's so funny now that I see
How different life turned to be, yeah

Can I get any higher?
Tell me, does it get any stronger?
I owe it to you that I made it through
I never could have done it without you

With you (Finally I can break free)I can break free, yeah
It's all changing in my destiny
Dream come true, it's so funny now that I see
How different life turned out to be yeah
(Finally I can break free)
Oh, ‘cause of you it's all changing in my destiny
Dream come true, it's so funny now that I see
How different life turned out to be
I've realized that it's my destiny

First Sunset of February

I grabbed my Samsung camera when I saw the sky turns red orange. I was sitting by the gazebo in our backyard and waiting for the sunset. I love to go to the Indian River and capture a good shot but, the temperature on that day was chilly so; I stayed here and took this. What do you think?

I wish there's no cable wire in there. Anyway, I love this area in our backyard. There are so many birds here infact, we have frequent visitors :-) the woodpecker, cardinals and quail. Awesome huh?
