In a Home

In a HOME:

The head of the family is the overseer of the family problems and that includes budgetting, paying the bills, delegating work, providing the needs of every member of the family.

Say, there was a problem like delegating the work at home. Some members of the family did not attend to their supposed work.

The overseer just leave the problem unsolved and went to a vacation.

The overseer came back after 9 days still, did not do something about the problem.

He then suggested another rule in the house like scheduling who can use the extra car at certain time.

Some members of the family tried to tell him about the unsolve problem. He just look at them as if it doesn't really matter.

If the going gets tough, he blame it to everyone in the house but, not himself!

Then, to get away with all the tension in the house, he went out and enjoy the beach and play the golf!

Get the drift people!

That Mardi Gras in New Orleans was a huge parade and so much fun. Parties all over the French Quarter attendies were thousands.Animals are considered members of the family so; here they are bragging their beauties. Some of these dogs are really huge and gigantic! They are bigger than I am. I wanted to be in Mississippi during the Mardi Gras next year too.

The Proposal

I am one of those Sandra Bullock fans who were mad upon knowing that her husband in real life was a big cheater. It broke my heart to learn how he treated her so badly. Anyway, I love all her movies because she is my favorite actress and she makes me laugh especially in The Proposal. The story is about Margaret Tate played by Sandra Bullock, a book editor who is a domineering boss of Andrew Paxton played by Ryan Reynolds.When she learns she's in danger of losing her visa status and being deported, Margaret Tate forces herself to her assistant, Andrew Paxton, to marry her. The director of this movie is Anne Fletcher who also directed the movie 27 Dresses. This is a romantic comedy movie that is why I love it. Also starring is Craig T. Nelson and Mary Steenburgen as Andrew's parents, and Betty White as the outspoken and clever Grandma Annie.Did you know that even if the setting of the movie is in Alaska, in real life, it was actually shoot in Rockport, Massachusetts? OMG! I want to visit that place. That's an awesome view!Oh by the way, did you know that before Sandra Bullock, this movie was turned down by my other favorite actress Julia Roberts? Yep! Okay, if you haven't watched this movie, watch it! Old movies are good to watch over and over again. Here are the characters of this movie: Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, Mary Steenburgen, Betty White, Craig T. Nelson, Denis O'Hare, Oscar Nunez, Malin Akerman, Aasif Mandvi, and Niecy Nash.One more thing, since Sandra Bullock is already divorce and Ryan Reynolds is available; would it be nice if this two can work out in real life? I hope she will find her true love.

So Much Mourning

I saw these pictures awhile ago while watching the news on Fox. I googled dog nearby a casket and there, I snipped the pictures. This is a painful sight! I wonder what was it like when they are together and what was their daily routine.He is mourning and he is aware of what's going on. I met a dog back when I was in Mississippi. I was on the garden and he just came right at my back. He was bigger than me so; I was so afraid. When I look at his eyes, he was harmful and he tried to befriend me. He wanders the neighborhood everyday and he visit us all the time. One morning, I found out he got tricks, can crawl, roll over, and understood simple commands. My husband and I never really know where he came from but knowing his skills, a military man must own him one time.I just hope that this dog will have someone to love him as much as his previous buddy. This kind of dog is beautiful and very talented. God bless you doggie boy Haweye! Rest in Peace Officer Jon T. Tumilson of Iowa.

Use Blog Title: Ben and Constantine on the Bachelorette

Guest post written by Heather Morris

I thought that it was so weird on the Bachelorette this season when I realized that the guy who I thought was the same person was actually two guys who looked almost identical. I can't be the only eon that thought that Ben and Constantine looked like twins! It was kind of eerie, especially because they both made it pretty far along in the process. I thought that after the Bachelorette was all said and done this season, I would write a blog post about it for my blog.

While I was looking online to see if any other reality TV bloggers caught on to that too, I ran across the website http://www.DomainNames.com. After I read through that some I decided to buy a URL on there to move my blog over to my own website, which is something that I've been considering for a while.

I did find several other blogs talking about that. I knew that I wasn't the only one! It's so weird that the producers cast two guys that look so much alike.

Breakfast at Cracker Barrel

We had our breakfast at Cracker Barrel today. Our friend just arrived yesterday from her long vacation at North Carolina. This restaurant is one of my favorite places to go for breakfast because after the meal, I can go to their shop and buy some knickknacks and candies.I ordered butter pancake with pure natural syrup and a hot chocolate for a change. I still love to eat steamed rice and fish for breakfast but, you can't find that in a restaurant for breakfast. Anyway, I enjoyed my pancakes and my hot chocolate today. Hubby ordered biscuits and gravy while our friend ordered eggs in sunny side up with bacon and sourdough. We have a wonderful breakfast today in this rainy morning because of Hurricane Irene. We saw black clouds bringing rain bands. It will not hit Orlando but will have a landfall towards North Carolina and Long Island New York. Please be safe people!

Sweet November: Only Time by Enya

I love this song. This is the soundtrack of the movie Sweet November starring Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron, a 2001 film. Hoping you will like the song everyone!


Who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time...

And who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time...

(interlude)
dee dah day, dee dah day, dee dah day
dee dah doe day doe, dee doe day doe

Who can say why your heart sighs,
As your love flies?
Only time...

And who can say why your heart cries,
When your love lies?
Only time...

(interlude)
dee dah day, dee dah day, dee dah day
dee dah doe day doe, dee doe day doe

Who can say when the roads meet,
That love might be,
In your heart.

And who can say when the day sleeps,
If the night keeps all your heart?
Night keeps all your heart...

(long interlude)
dee dah dah dah
dee dah dah dah
dee dah dah dah
dee dah dah dah
Who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time...

And who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time...

Who knows?
Only time...

Who knows?
Only time...

Toys for Dogs

Look at the picture below, isn't it cute? Dogs are part of the family in fact; most of our friends treat them as one of the kids. In my workplace before, one of my co-workers made her dog as the heir of her assets when she dies. That goes to show how important dogs are to people. I have no pets at home but, I am fond of them when I visited friend's house. We have a favorite dog that we call Rusty and he is huge and so beautiful. My husband bought him dog toys and he loves to play around it. Since he knows a lot of tricks, he loves to show it and use the ball and other toys as props. Dogs are truly man's best friend because they are intelligent and they can understand commands.

Facebook Matters

One of the advantages when you have a Facebook account is you get to know a person better, either good or bad :-) If you like them, you tend to praise them and click the like button. If you don't, you just ignore their wall post and the worst scenario, you un-friend them or they un-friend you LOL. Would you feel bad? Each person has their own reaction for that and it varies a lot. Some don't care and others take it as an insult and wanted to get even with the person.

If you feel the need to un-friend a person, JUST DO IT! Why keep someone in your list who doesn't give a damn about what you are saying? Or, they thought you are just trying to put yourself on a pedestal? If you knew that YOU make their LIFE miserable, just give them a favor, un-friend them. If they are envious about your daily activity, it doesn't give them any good, right? So, if you knew that YOU are the cause of their misery, just...un-friend them ...that way, it ends their agony, LOL!

Straight Talk Advantage

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

If I cut my cell phone bills in half, I would feel richer by the minute. How many cell phones do you have in the family? Honestly, we have 4 cell phones and each one is under contract for 2 years which is a hassle because we only use 3 phones most of the time. When I call a friend, sometimes I use our land line phone to save my minutes. I would say, mom knows best because she told me to switch to Straight Talk and that's what I am going to do next. I must admit that when you have a Straight Talk, everything you need in a cell phone you'll have it. The connectivity is great, the reception has no problems at all and it has a nationwide coverage at low price rates. When you switch to Straight Talk, you will enjoy the unlimited service of $45/month and that includes call, text, picture messaging and the use of the web. That great service will not end with that amazing feature. Once you have your phone which you can purchase in Wal-Mart, you will enjoy the FREE activation right away. Straight Talk phones have no contract, no hidden charges and no credit checks. That's what I need and I will switch to Straight Talk!

Farewell Millie

This is a poem by Kirsti A. Dyer, MD, MS from Journey of Hearts A Healing Place in CyberSpace. This is my tribute to a friend that will be missed by all of us. This poem expressed grief in a subtle way. I had my own share of sadness, losing someone so dear is truly hard to endure. Letting go is the hardest thing to do! But, let us celebrate the cycle of life. The essence of living is to be alive everyday with the people who are still with us. We love you Millie. Until we meet again.
In Memory of You

I find an old photograph
and see your smile.
As I feel your presence anew,
I am filled with warmth
and my heart remembers love.

I read an old card
sent many years ago
during a time of turmoil and confusion.
The soothing words written then
still caress my spirit
and bring me peace.

I remember who you used to be
the laughter we shared
and wonder what you have become.
Where are you now,
Where did you go,
When the body is left behind
and the spirit is released to fly?

Perhaps you are the morning bird
singing joyfully at sunrise,
or the butterfly that dances
so carelessly on the breeze
or the rainbow of colors
that brightens a stormy sky
or the fingers of afternoon mist
delicately reaching over the mountains
or the final few rays of the setting sun
lighting up the skies
edging the clouds with a magical glow.

I miss your being
but I feel your presence,
In whatever form you choose to take,
however you now choose to be.

Your spirit has become for me
a guardian angel on high
guiding, advising, and watching over me.

I remember you.
You are with me
and I am not afraid.

Remnants

This is the old bridge that connects Biloxi and Ocean Springs Mississippi. It looks like a toy tossed in this area. Actually, this is the remnants of the Hurricane Katrina. Gulf Coast of Mississippi was one of the severely hit by the hurricane and it levelled most of the places in Biloxi and nearby places.This remnant of the bridge is still there. You can see it if you pass the new bridge on Highway 90. It is located at the back of The Palace Hotel and Casino.

Consult Your Doctor

When the lining of our stomach becomes inflamed then, we have gastritis. What causes gastritis? Some reasons are excessive alcohol consumption and prolonged use of aspirin or buffer. If you have infection like after a major surgery, you can be vulnerable with gastritis.

I know you have heard about the procedure called banding where they basically control the intake of food into your stomach. Gastritis could be a byproduct of this procedure. Also, if you have had some type of surgery on your digestive track, this could lead to gastritis. Stress can be a major cause of developing gastritis too. The most common symptom is a constant upset stomach with pain. If you are having a re-occurring indigestion along with feeling nauseous and vomiting, these could also be major symptoms of gastritis. Make an appointment with your doctor right away. There are several test that can be given to determine if you have gastritis. A blood count test, a normal blood test, or they may even test your stool to determine if you have this condition.

The treatment could be as simple as taking anti-acids or other types of medicine such as antibiotics. Your doctor might also suggest that you refrain from eating heavily spiced food or hot food such as Chile. The extreme treatment would be to take B12 injections. If you just have a mild case of gastritis over-the-counter medicines would be a common treatment. If you have unexplained weight loss or feeling full after only eating a small portion of food, you should visit a doctor. Contact your physician and go for a complete blood count test as to determine your condition.

Our Rest House

Seriously? This is a house located by the lake of Conway here in Orlando. I call it our rest house because when our friends travel for a vacation to Bahamas, Mexico, Caribbean Island and other tourists destination all over the world, they would call us and say to have a sleep in for the night. Our friend works in Delta Airlines and as an employee of airline company, they are FREE to travel all over the world anytime and anywhere! OMG! I want that life!This house is facing the lake. When I walk their dog at night, I really had to look around so carefully afraid that a gator might had come out from the lake and look for food. I do not want myself to be dragged and eaten by gators, nope! Anyway, I only see one gator here so far and a snake swimming down the lake.

Officer Henwood's Final Act of Kindness

What are the chances of not being killed in a war zone? Life is too risky especially if you are in a tour of duty assigned in Iraq or Afghanistan. The picture below is Jeremy Henwood, a Captain in the Marine Corps Reserves, a 36 years old, served three tours of duty. He came back to US mainland safe and he served as a police officer for four years in San Diego Police Department.He was shot and killed last Aug.6, 2011. This incident gives us a lesson that no matter where we are, there is danger. He did not die in the hands of the enemy in Afghanistan or Iraq. He died here in the safe land of the US. When they traced back where he was, the most remarkable surveillance video was viewed! He was seen with a stranger boy going inside McDonald's and the final act of kindness was he bought him cookies! The boy was later interviewed that he approached Officer Henwood and asked for 10 cents. Officer Henwood asked him what he would do for 10 cents and he replied he would buy a cookie. The Officer said he will not give him 10 cents instead, he will buy him cookies. The boy further said that the Officer advised him with the importance of hard work since the boy told the officer that he wanted to become an NBA when he grow up. Less than 5 minutes later, 6 blocks from Mc Donalds, a suicidal man pulled on the side of Officer Henwood's car and shot him with a shotgun with NO REASONS at all. He was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Officer Jeremy Henwood died at dawn time the next day. A good man , a good deed and the final act of kindness. May he rest in peace!

New Jersey Properties

If you are planning to move to New Jersey and looking for a new home, consider checking the properties listed in demblingrealty.com. Of course owning a traditional home in a traditional neighborhood does have its advantages. The price per square foot of a condo in New Jersey will be much less than the cost of a similar size if you are looking for a home. Your monthly mortgage payments will generally less than you would pay on a traditional home.If you own a condo, you will not have to worry about roof repair, mowing your lawn, painting, or maintaining your exterior of the building. The amenities that come with a condo are far more than with a traditional home. A swimming pool is pretty standard but there are other amenities such as a weight room, racquetball courts, gas grills, and club houses not to mention exercise rooms that are included with your condo.

The disadvantage of having a condo is that, you will not be able to remodel the exterior of your home. But, if you buy a single family home, you may landscape your yard, paint the exterior of your house in the color of your choice and are not limited to making improvements on your lot. There are many traditional homes located in the suburbs but also, many condos are located much closer to the city hub which saves you time and puts you in the middle of all the action. In the state of New Jersey, condominium ownership also has a significant tax deduction similar to a traditional homeowner. If you later decide to become a traditional homeowner, your condo could prove to be a source of rental income.

There are pros and cons to condo ownership versus traditional home ownership but remember, there will be a condo fee to cover the amenities and the upkeep of the common areas and you will not have this with your single-family dwelling. So before moving to New Jersey, check with your realtor or visit the Website which I mentioned above.

Buyer's Delight

Two months ago, we went to the office of the Title Company to get the key of the condo that we bought. They gave us all the legal documents of the property after finishing some final documents signing . It went well and in less than 15 minutes, we are out of the office with the key of the condo, our first rental income property. Our realtor is a Filipino and I just saw him online while searching for homes in Orlando. Basically, he is an American because he's been here in the US since the 80's but, was so glad with his motivation and dedication. In fact, we bought two properties being him as the realtor and it went smoothly every time. We can't wait to purchase another rental property and since the real estate plummeted downhill, this is buyers delight. I hope, you all will realize that and this is the right time to buy your dream home. This week, our realtor will show us three properties and we are so excited!

Visiting New Orleans

Visiting the largest city of Louisiana was a different experience for me. The city is full of charm and the culture is very interesting. The picture below was taken nearby French Quarter, it's a world renowned place because it's the oldest neighborhood of New Orleans. See the old building design? That's common in this place. Big buildings in New Orleans can be seen as you get closer to the city and it looks grand.Here's one of their busy streets and mostly it is one way, a bit confusing so; arm yourself with a map.Make sure that when you visit New Orleans, you should park in a safe parking lot and do not leave valuable things inside and that includes GPS.They have a huge crowded shopping mall, full of tourists located nearby the Harrah's Hotel.There are hotels and casino in the area but, most of them are expensive per night. Since we live nearby just less than 2 hours, so we really did not stay in the hotel.I love this city specially walking on the French Quarter and play the slot machines at Harrah's. There's another world in that hotel and you should check it out. Their buffet was unbelievable! So many food to choose from at affordable price.On the next visit, I would like to attend the mass in the Catholic Church. You should see it. The design inside the church is truly the work of art.Visit New Orleans during Mardi Gras and you will be amazed how grand it is!Street performers are so many so, if you request them to play for you, you are obliged to give something. Most of them are demanding so, better not ask. Just a tip though.

Roaman's Plus Size Fashion

Hot deals plus free bags and wallets on Roaman’s Plus Size Fashion, that's an amazing deal, right? Are you always on an eye for a bargain? If you are then, I would like to tell you about Roaman’s plus size fashion shop’s new offer. They are giving away a stunning bag and wallet if you buy anything from their shop until Sunday because that is when the promo ends! I am actually a shopaholic, but I am always looking for great deals, discounts, and free items when I am shopping for anything. Last night, I found this free bag and wallet from Roaman’s plus size clothing collection which has caught my attention.Roaman’s clothing collections are all affordable based on what I saw compare to some other brands and high street prices. You can get yourself a French style fashion from just $19.99, summer plus size dresses from just $29.99, to shirts and blouses from $9.99. Now all these prices I have mentioned to you are actually on sale prices and are usually 80% off from their regular price, so that gives you an idea of how much you can save from buying at Roaman’s. I actually have a favorite online shop before, but now considering of switching to Roaman’s because they are cheaper and they have a reward system which gives their shoppers $5 cash back every time they spend $75 on shopping. Another good thing about Roaman’s fashion shop now is that they currently have a wardrobe sale of 40% off on everything, so you might as well check this out too. Have fun shopping and do not forget the free bag!

Designer Clothing

If you are looking for a designer plus size clothing, then I suggest that you check out the lovely collection of Jessica London. This fashion shop sells remarkably beautiful clothes from sizes 12 to 32. The plus size designer clothing as its best! If you look at these clothes, this would surely enhance a woman’s body figure because of the way these clothes are designed. My sister prefer Jessica London’s clothing collection, as the clothes looks good on her and it's just wonderful to wear something she's comfortable wearing as what she said.

Now talking about prices, I do not know if you have seen the website, but if you have not yet, I am inviting you to have a glance and tell me what you think about Jessica London’s plus size fashion.

First Income Property

This is just few pictures taken from the condo we bought last month. It is an efficiency therefore, we are targeting renters who are single and just started to become independent. It has a good size screened front porch, has a bathroom with shower and bathtub, a good size storage, the kitchen cabinets are plenty for a small size condo as this one. The closing was done the day before it was rented. We were just lucky to find a renter that we know whom we got the assurance that she will take care of the property and able to pay the rent. We gave her first month FREE and a down payment of only $300.No one can beat that! Normally, an efficiency like this can be rented at $600. We give her lower rent than that.We received the first month rent last week and we are so glad that we invest in this type of business. We are still planning to find another property and venture in this business.Nowadays, people are hurting so; they lost their homes.

Raising the Debt Ceiling

Debt Ceiling? That is a serious negotiation of the government for the past weeks now. Republican and Democrats! Oh, I do refrain from talking about politics! I will not talk about that. I will just focus on my financial capability as an individual.

Back in PI, I have only one card because every time I apply, I was not qualified! As simple as that and I have no regrets! It would mean, less card equals less credit! I usually loan money from friends though and my financial status had been like that most of the time simply because I have obligation and bills to pay. Having one source of income, that is really hard to meet both ends. But, I did manage well even though, I live according to my means.

Presently, I admit I own credit cards and I am a responsible card holder. In the US, credit history is very important and Good rating is very important!

Just like a Country, a triple A rating is very important! Status symbol perhaps?

Since I have a good rating, I keep getting credit card offers from different banks. But, it's up to me to add more or not! I decided not to add more. My credit limit is already high which I really don't use much. I know in my heart, if I use it, it is NOT MY MONEY but a CREDIT which I will eventually pay!

Can I request for a higher credit limit? Of course, I can! But, why should I do that? I will not request for a higher credit limit because I am not planning to use all my credit. After all, it is credit and it is not my money!

Now, US credit rating was downgraded to AA from triple A. America is a rich country. Why do they borrow money from China anyway?

Plus Size Women's Clothing

I was shopping for jeans the other day because from size 0, I am now size 2. I was truly happy that I gain weight around 7 lbs more and it was a huge accomplishment for me. I am already in the selection process inside my walk-in closet, set aside the dress, jeans and shirts that doesn't fit me anymore. I was watching the Biggest Loser show the last season and I was touched when they feel good losing a pound. It was like the biggest achievement of all time. I feel the same way, although mine is gaining weight.

Anyway, while shopping for my clothes, I saw some display of the plus size formal dresses and plus size clothes in the plus size women's clothing. It was so sexy and elegant even though it is the fit of plus size women. In any shopping mall, there is always a children's section where I used to buy my clothing since I am so petite and nothing would fit in the junior section. That was before and I was so glad I am over with that section. Now, I can shop in the junior and women sections. When I am with my friends, we can shop together in the same area. It's easy to flip small to XXL. My cousin sometimes can fit clothing's in the XXL size but, mostly we go to plus size area. Anyway, if you are in the category of plus size, be proud of who you are. You will look sexy in the clothing you choose once you found the right fit and you can carry it easy and that makes you beautiful inside and out.

Hubby and I own two condos which we rented the other property and we are occupying the second condo. We are still in search for a single detach home with swimming pool and should have three bedrooms / three baths among the wish list. Also, we love to have a property on the beach area or lake front.
