Loving my #UniVoxBox

When the postman showed up with this box, he was having a big grin. He knows that I am a blogger and receiving boxes of goodies are on a normal basis. He would teased me that pretty soon, I can't open my door and stocks of boxes will be on the front porch LOL. Kidding aside, I am loving this #UniVoxBox . There are 6 items inside:

1. The Broadway Nails imPress Press-on Manicure

2. Red Rose #RealTea Premium water Enhancer
I was actually surprise when I first used this. using a glass of water with ice, I squeezed two drops. I love the taste, I never add sugar and it tastes sweet. Would I but this in the grocery stores? Of course I will. You should try it. This is worth $4.49 in the grocery stores. This can make 24 servings. What I like about Red Rose Real Tea is the taste. It is lightly sweetened and has no dyes or coloring added. Try it.

#RedRose Real Tea

I thought this is just an ordinary water enhancer which tastes bland and yucky but; I was wrong. I  tried it awhile ago. I took a glass of water with ice in it and I squeeze two drops, stirred and tasted it. Boom! I love it! You should try it. I just made another glass and I think this will not last long. No sugar added and it is a thirst quencher.

I was given a #RedRose #RealTea as a complimentary for testing purposes from #Influenster. All opinions are 100% mine.

I Can't Wait to Watch the #LaborDayMovie

This movie intrigued me and after watching the trailer, it makes me want to watch it now. Would this happen in real life? Would trust exist in the first place? Can love blossom in this extraordinary situation? Watch the trailer now. What do you think?


 

The

#HappyAprilFools Day

Good morning y'all! LOL! It's April Fools Day friends, don't get mad when someone got you today. Just enjoy the day and laugh out loud! This is the day when practical jokes are spreading like infectious disease and when you fell for it, you will look like a fool. I stop doing practical jokes a long time ago hehehe. I just don't think that it is nice. When people do practical jokes to others, I can't help but laugh out loud. I hope people will not react badly and just relax. If they get you, do not get mad. Just smile and stay happy!

#JaredLeto : #BestSupportingActor #Academy Award Winner

When a good son shows gratitude, respect and love to his mom, he becomes a man. The courage in acknowledging and giving gratitude to his mother in front of millions speaks volume of who Jared Leto is as a person. I am not a fan of Jared but, when I heard his speech, I admire him so much..

He loves his family and friends sincerely because he acknowledges them too.

Mentioning Ukraine and Venezuela tells me that Jared is a no-nonsense actor and clearly aware of what's going on in the world. He has compassion for others. As he accepted the Best Supporting Actor Award for his role as Rayon in the movie Dallas Buyer's Club, his speech is one of my favorite highlights in the Academy Awards night (2014 Oscars).

"In 1971. Bossier City, Louisiana. A teenage girl finds out she's pregnant with her second child. She's a high school drop out. A single mom. But against all odds, she manages to make a better life for herself and her children. She teaches them to be creative. To work hard. And reach for the impossible. That girl is my mother and she's here tonight. Mom, I love you thank you for teaching me to dream.

To my brother, Shannon. Thank you for sharing the incredible adventure with me that is Thirty Seconds to Mars. You are a true artist and the best big brother in the world.

To all the dreamers around the world watching this right now, from the Ukraine to Venezuela - We think of you as you struggle to bring to life the dreams that fill your heart. The impossible is possible, and we believe.

To the amazing Focus Features, Jean Marc. Matthew. Jennifer. The entire Dallas Buyers team. Mick Sullivan. Jim Toth. Robin Baum. Jason Weinberg. Emma Ludbrook and Cali Adams. Thank you for the faith.

This is for the 36 million brave souls who lost their lives to AIDS.
And to anyone who ever felt injustice because of who they are or who they love. Tonight, I stand before the world, with you and for you."

Tears

At this very moment, I want to cry for no apparent reason at all. I don't know if you can relate. I am so overwhelmed today and I can only do so much. It seems that I can't take a step forward. It seems that I am confine to a tight room where all directions end to a concrete wall. No door. It is impossible to break that wall with my bare hands. My emotion is so heavy right now. If only I can scream at the top of my lungs.

Self pity

Tired

Hopeless

Alone

Lost

If only I can cry a river tonight then, I will be refreshed tomorrow. Maybe I will watch a movie later tonight until I doze off to sleep. Movies like LOVE AFFAIR starring Warren Beatty and Annette Beaning. Have you seen that movie? Oh, you should watch it.

"It was my own fault, I was looking up.

I knew you were there."

"It doesn't have to be a miracle,

If you can paint, I can walk.

Anything can happen, don't you think?"

That video made me cry already.

 

Anyway, I talked to my mom awhile ago. We talk every night you know. She's my best friend and the one person who knows me. I just feel hopeless that after all these years, I can't process her papers to come visit me here. It is indeed lonely without my mom and my brother, and his family here with me. I want us all to be together here soon. I pray that God will hear my request soon.

 

Okay, I am done with my drama. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to watch that movie.

All Set for Real Estate Market

No thanks to the cold snap for it slows down our #DIY exterior painting job. These pictures shows how serious I am with #DIY. Too much of Drew and Jonathan Scott's Property Brothers and John Gidding's Curb Appeal watching you may think huh? Or, was I a fanatic of #HGTV? LOL.

Three Yes's for those questions of course. By the way, for 3 years or more, John Gidding is my friend in Facebook, yayyy. Anyway, here I was doing the trimming paint job with my 16" extension ladder. Are you scared? My friends in FB was totally frightened, LOL! I am not scared of height for sure. I have new pictures to show you next time. Where did I learn to paint? Back home when I was a teacher. I always visit my classroom during weekends to improve it and painting is a sissy #DIY and I love doing it.  

Just to give you a #humor, here's my hubby taking a siesta and he would say, he is the supervisor LOL. Nah! Actually, he was doing all the painting using the roller. I was in-charge of the trimming because I have a steady hand. I was sitting there too while he was painting most of it. He was all red when he's done.

Here I was pressure washing the driveway. We will paint this today.

The paint will look good, I will be showing you the before and after photos. By the way, I love tools and I am crazy with smart tools LOL. There is a male spirit inside of me I guess. We will list our property this Friday and hoping to get a buyer real fast so we can move to the Gulf Coast. Wish us luck!

Red Nail Polish

I don't usually color my nails but lately, I noticed that when I feel sad, it's so good to see my nails with nail polish. Probably it is an outlet. I like it red, gold and blue. One time, I used black and I think, that was the last nail polish that I have. That's before Christmas. Well, for more than a month now, my nails have no colors. I like it better though. How about you?

Plumbing DIY Fixes

I am a homeowner since 1998, just two years after I landed a permanent job. I was single then and I bought a house in a great working class neighborhood, gated and located up town. I bought the house intended  a home for my mom, she deserved it! I grow up without a father so; when mom and I moved in to our new home, #DIY became part of my routine. I like it that way though because I am learning new things. When bulbs went out, that's easy to fix. When I have a plumbing problem, I fix it myself. But, there are times that plumbing problem becomes overwhelming and messy so; that's the time I hire the expert. Now that I am married, I am still doing it. What the!? I know right? I tell you what, IT IS NOT FUN AT ALL! This is what I did yesterday and boy, I am so tired.

Our Share of the Polar Vortex Phenomenon

Oh yeah, this is our temperature right now. The temperature will further plummet at night time. A freeze watch was already issued since Monday until Tuesday. I saw my neighbors took their nice plants indoor protecting them from the wind chill as well. Here in our place, we have a cold snap, our share of the Polar Vortex.

Polar vortex is the counterclockwise rotating pool of extremely cold and dense arctic air. The cold snap that we are experiencing right now is exciting for us since we seldom have this cold temperature. On Wednesday, we will have 68 degrees and by Friday, the temperature will climb and will be back to normal on the 80's. Up north will be brutally cold so; please bundle up, keep warm and stay safe. Have a great day ahead.
