I am a music minded person but, lately I notice that there are a lot of songs that I do not know anymore. I can't keep up. My priorities have changed significantly and I am not too happy about it. I wanted to stay inspired. Oh well, I must have changed! I have a friend who bought the <a href="http://www.guitarcenter.com/Alesis/3630-Dual-Channel-Compressor-Limiter-with-Gate-1274115061043.gc">alesis 3630</a> and guess what, I don't know what it was all about. It feels weird to feel like I was left behind. </div>

You know when I feel sad and lonely, I sing. I downloaded an app for my cellphone and my iPad. It's like a karaoke where I can sing, record it and it has a rating too. It's really a nice app and I used it for a long time now. It has also an option to share it to Facebook or Twitter which I haven't used it yet. <br />

Now that my surgery was over, I have the time to check out my blogs and get acquainted once again to all my online friends. I can't believe that I've missed blogging that much. I've been wanting to relax by the pool, play my favorite music and play my guitar. Not to mention, use my photography skills. First thing first, my guitar. I hope I remember the chords and can still strum my guitar in harmonious way. Anyway, I can't wait to check the <a href="http://www.guitarcenter.com/">guitar center.com</a> for the latest accessories that I can buy for my guitar. Have you check this site before? Come on, let's go there now. See you in a bit. </div>

Between the husband dear and I, the Jill of all trades is what I am known for. I can brag that I am able to fix better and troubleshoot faster than him. Maybe because I very patient and driven to finish the task. My husband is very impatient and easily discourage over challenges. When it comes to doing something in the household such as minor repairs on little things, using <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/ernie-ball-power-peg-pro-string-winder/h92548">power peg</a> is not an option. Wheew, he really needs motivation huh? </div>

For the last few weeks, all I did was work! I have nothing to do when I am at home so; I rather work to keep myself busy. Besides, I like to earn more to pay my bills. Who doesn't want that right? Anyway, now that spring time is here, there maybe changes. I have regular full hours schedule at work now so; I can plan what needs to be done at home. Oh, gardening, blogging, swimming and guitar playing ... these are the things I missed doing on my free time. Just this week, I found time to doing all these hobbies and I am thrilled. See, I am updating my blog this week. I am fooling with my guitar also.

Using a sing-along app and whenever I get the chance, I sang duet with other users. Crazy huh? I really do not have the extra time to sing but, I find it relaxing after a tiring day from work. I have no time for strumming guitar or play the organ so; the app is the easiest to use. How about you? Do you play musical instruments or use any tools like <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/daw-software/avid-pro-tools-11">Avid Pro 11</a>? If you have the time, why not right? amiable amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789868517792130396noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3583647332902386350.post-69920180146620098742015-01-06T07:58:00.000-08:002015-01-06T07:59:22.664-08:00Positive #WorkEthic<div style="text-align: justify;">
I felt melancholy since yesterday afternoon. I came into thinking why some people have all the bad luck or was it all about luck? A newly hired woman (co-worker) was fired yesterday right before we clocked-out. Terrible huh? I talked to her earlier that day and she clocked-in a minute late. Her eyes swollen from crying, a boyfriend broke-up with her the night before. She's only 21 with a baby out of wedlock. </div>
<img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8loEVcLvACg/VKv0M7HbmII/AAAAAAAAXcE/AqNhjUs6A8I/s1600/sad.jpg" height="318" width="320" /><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a concern co-worker, I told her to quit coming late. She said she is trying. I really don't think that she grasped how serious tardiness is. This is not her first actually. One time, she was supposed to work at 6:45 AM , she called out and told them she can't wake up that early. She will work at 8 AM. I was shocked to hear that from her. She is an employee and she can't do that! I think the management gives her ample time to prove that she is deserving for the job.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think bad luck comes to people who made wrong decisions and for this instance, she was fired because she was tardy more than once and she did not report at work on time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When our boss told us that the woman is not with us anymore, I was dumb-founded! My boss told me, I should not worry, he will not fire me hehehe, (what a relief), "You are too good for this job", he says. I said to my boss that I was shocked because she just broke up with the boyfriend last night ... and now, got fired! It's like adding insult to an injury and his reaction was dumbfounded! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey, it's not his fault! He was only doing his job! I felt so sad for this woman because she is trying her best but, as the saying goes ... "her best wasn't good enough"! I wish her well and I hope after crying and pouring out resentments, she will have a positive outlook of life. Tough huh? If this situation happens to me, I will be in rock bottom.<br />
<br />
Moral lesson: Go to work everyday and arm yourself with a #positiveworkethic .</div>

It still feel weird accepting tip from guests in my workplace. I am used to giving tips when I dine out and now, it's the other way around. Anyway, I've been working for almost a month now. Considering that my line of work supposedly do not get tip from guests, I am caught off guard when someone hands me cash. One time I said, "No Sir, it's alright! " yet, he insisted. Well, it's Christmas ... I wonder if anybody gives a $100 bills (wink) , it would be awesome huh?</div>

Oh my goodness, it is chilly today. I went out to take photos by the backyard. Our home insurance requested that we submit photos showing the fence and the roof. I was out for less than 10 minutes and my fingers and toes were numb. It is so chilly and breezy outside. I took few photos in a hurry LOL. </div>

I was at work and the music on air was so beautiful. Some of the guests danced to the rhythm LOL. They are funny sometimes and there are instances that guests imagining their fingers as <a href="http://www.guitarcenter.com/Vater,Drum-Sticks-Drum-Sticks---Mallets,New-Gear.gc">Vater Drums</a>. I had to show to them that what they did were alright. Nothing crazy really considering that they belong to the golden age. I love my work and I had fun with the guests. Most of them are nice and sweet and yes, they thought they are teenagers that plays the drum hahaha.</div>

I remember where I took this photo. This was the parking lot of Jimmy Buffet, it was the last time that we went to Margaritaville. This casino was closed you know. The newest casino in Biloxi but, the first one to go. Jimmy Buffet/Margaritaville did not come to an agreement with their landlords. They are supposed to build a hotel come 2015, it's needed so they can stay in business. They can't compete with other casinos in the area if they don't have a hotel. They were closed at 10 PM on a Monday, September 15, 2014. Only 2 years since they opened in 2012.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On this particular day, we dine in one of their restaurants overlooking the Biloxi Bay. It was gorgeous. As we head home, we saw the parking lot empty and was a bit sad. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I saw the beautiful sky, I said a prayer that the workers in this company will find a new job easy.</div>

Soon .... I will be back in school. I will be sharing y'all the journey of my studies. I am not scared but, I am anxious because the last time I went to school was more than a decade ago. Goodness, I am that old LOL. The last time I went to school was when I enrolled in Master of Arts in School Management and I quit to support a cousin in College. <br />
<br />
Whewww ... no regrets though coz that cousin has a stable job now and though he did not graduate, being a college level made a good impression in his resume. Anyway, I hope to submit all the requirements needed to enroll in this course by next week. I only have two weeks to accomplish the requirements and haven't started yet. Gezzz ... goodluck to myself. </div>

This is a science fiction, suspense and romantic story of Claire Randall, a combat nurse who is married to Frank Randall in 1945. Then, mysteriously she was pulled back in time , year 1743 where she crossed path with Janie Fraser, a Scottish warrior and through force marriage, she became his wife. Claire is now in dilemma to return to her husband in the twentieth century but, leaving Jamie behind whom she is passionate with surely will break her apart.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I saw the 8 episodes of Series 1 of the Outlander and I love the show. I was intrigued with all the characters and after knowing that Outlander is based from a novel written by Diana Gabaldon, I am now excited to read the book series. Season 2 will be aired next year and that's a long wait. Of course, I will be looking forward to watch the Season 2 of the Outlander but, I am now excited to read the book. I want to know what's the ending, LOL.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I like the character of Jamie. Sam Heughan portrayed the role well. I like the Wedding episode. LOL. Awww, I bet you like it too. How romantic that despite it was a forced wedding, he wanted to get married in the church. The first night was funny ... romantic and goodness, you missed a good episode if you missed it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can't tell if Claire will go back to present time and end up with Franck. There's nothing wrong with him and their relationship was perfect. What do you think? Oh my goodness, Black Jack is a hateful character. He is scary! </div>

Don't you love Google Doodle ? I do! It's always fun to see what's new and interesting for the day. It could be acknowledging a holiday, birthday or anniversary of influential people, weather, innovation, science and technology and so on. Today, I woke up so excited! Let me tell you, I am not a big fan of #summer. The weather is super cool ... that's exciting for me!</div>

My husband went outside to turn on the pool pump and came back to tell me that this is the day that I love staying outdoors. He is right! The air is chilly at 6:30 AM , windy and hey, this is the start of my favorite time of the year.<br />
<img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1WJ1VgbilGc/VCLeRwDoxXI/AAAAAAAAXHY/y7XewTSYDvU/s1600/google%2Bdoodle%2Bfall.JPG" height="356" width="540" /><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The only set back is when all the leaves fall on the ground. That's a lot of raking and blowing to do. I decided to just mulch it , make it as a fertilizer. I will not worry that for now. I will just enjoy the cool weather up to February. I don't think if I will miss swimming at all. </div>

How devastating it is to lose a son? Or, losing a member of your family to an untimely death and brutal killing? This is a jaw-dropping reality that we read and watch on the news and this should never happen. But hey, it did! A mother's plea was not heard. We are not living in the savage era but, I guess ... some parts in this world ... they still are. For us who respect life, who feared the punishment of God, and who loves humanity ... we are shaken to the core knowing that some humans are not acting humanely. </div>
<img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g-5bEQZRqeU/VAcoV3K5dwI/AAAAAAAAW_8/wVkKMqUgMDY/s1600/%23StevenSotloff.jpg" height="328" width="540" /><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We will not point our fingers who to blame. This story is so complicated that even if we debate the issue, the life of Steven Sotloff will never be back and his family will never be the same ever again. I pray that God will bring comfort to his mom, his family and his friends who loves him. I pray that those who are responsible will suffer the consequence and there will be justice.</div>

Let us examine ourselves ... our conscience, what do we get from this devastating news? Do we continue to hate? Live in anger? What do you think? The government should do something ... then, what? </div>
<br />
Here's what I shared in my Facebook yesterday, the words of wisdom from #MahatmaGandi : <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">“When I despair, I remember that all through history </span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">the way of truth and love </span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">have always won. </span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">There have been tyrants and murderers, </span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">and for a time, </span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">they can seem invincible, </span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">but in the end, </span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">they always fall. Think of it--always.”</span></strong> </div>

True enough. Trust grows from within us. Once we saw the goodness ,the nurturing care and the loving character of a person, we tend to give away our trust. It doesn't come along in an instant. It takes years to develop so; if someone trust us, we wanted to keep it that way.</div>

Life is not all the time pleasant. Like you, I have friends who deceived me too and as the saying goes, it only takes a second to break that trust! It takes forever to repair and for me, once that bond of trust broke, there is no way that it will going to mend.amiable amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789868517792130396noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3583647332902386350.post-12426097908545587252014-08-10T20:04:00.002-07:002014-08-10T20:25:12.964-07:00On Honesty<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><strong>Honesty is such a lonely word</strong></em> ...<br />
<br />
I went to meet a friend today. We decided to meet up at the Outlet Mall. We never talk seriously about love, life and family but, today was different.<br />
<img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--iwL2hYZA4M/U-gwuHVx7LI/AAAAAAAAWyk/3-A_j0C9tY4/s1600/greatview.jpg" height="382" width="540" /><br />
It's dark when I arrived home yet, I decided to swim in the pool to relax my mind and I thought about my friend's situation. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She was married for 10 years now, no kids but, she has one from previous marriage. She never lied to her husband so; basically she thought all along that he holds no secret from her as well. She found out that the husband was married 3x before and that he has 2 kids, one from the first and second marriages. Apart from what he told her that he was married once and that he has one child. Why did he hold a secret from her? She really doesn't care, she told me but, why keep it as a secret? She found out later that the husband did not acknowledge the eldest child as his own. She asked me, "Why he had to lie?"</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe he did not told her because she would probably insist to go and find the child. He will not like it for sure. He doesn't like confrontation I bet. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My friend and I parted after 5 hours and I was sorry for not being able to give a sensible thoughts about all the "why's " . Of course, I can't give her a sensible answer ... only her husband holds the answer to all the "why's".</div>
<br />
She will hold it as a secret until her husband will be ready to tell her.<br />
<br />
I thought about my friend right now. She will never look at the husband the same ... ever again. amiable amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15789868517792130396noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3583647332902386350.post-25738124105989432852014-06-17T16:31:00.001-07:002014-06-17T16:35:58.698-07:00Speechless on Father's Day<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't hold grudges and I can forgive but, I am only human to NOT FORGET! When I was growing up, I had a tough childhood days especially when mom lost her job. She is a single mom to two toddlers. My father abandoned us when I was 9 months (in the womb of my mom) and my brother was 2 years old. Life was tough for mom had to sweat out and trying all odd jobs to support me and my brother. I saw how she work so hard and never did I see her cry , complain or lost the will to go on. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-01g5wyoMbzM/U6DJh3hcNXI/AAAAAAAAWvo/gU_7kj-Mv0M/s1600/Happy+Father's+Day.JPG" height="267" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I saw my brother reprimanded by our neighbor when he knocked down a weighing scale in the store, the sight was heart broken and I told to myself ... if only I have a father to protect him. Oh I have gazillion incident to share but, what difference does it make ? You probably heard it from other broken families. I forgave my father a long time ago. We all did. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Each year, when everyone is busy preparing for a Father's Day get-together for their family, I am speechless. I can't relate. All I can think of is my mom. The hard work, the resilience and the good mom she is. She may not read this but, she knew that my brother and I appreciate everything she did for us. We became who we are now because of her. I love you Mom. This day is for you. </div>

I love lipstick and collecting them has grown to become my hobby. I usually pick colors that are not bold and daring. I was one of the lucky influenters to received a #UniVoxBox from Influenster. When I was asked to select a color, I chose the Forever Fuchsia. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do I like it? I love it! I thought I would look funny wearing it because of my skin color but, it was perfect. It lightens my aura ...hehehe. This time I will be collecting this type of colors. </div>

I seldom wear make up and that's the truth. I can go out with just a lipstick on. Once in a while I do like when I go to church and parties but, that rarely happens. Don't get me wrong, I have sets of make-up and when I am in the mood, I do use it. I am not that girly type you know. Now, when I had the chance to use this Stay Matte from Rimmel, I love it. It is easy to apply and it blends well with my skin. It smells good too. I only apply a tiny bit and that's all I need to cover the blemishes on my skin. It feels awesome.</div>

Okay, if you never used a Pilot brand before, I am baffled. Most of us love to use Pilot pens. The price is a little bit more compared to ordinary pens but of course, that's the point. Pilot is no ordinary because of the quality. I used it and it writes well, so fine and so clear. The grip is so perfect. </div>
