Self Denial

Have you ever heard someone who said "I am not a drama queen" but, unconsciously doing it anyway? Have you ever heard someone said "they never hated you", but they are showing it to you anyway? What would you do? If only there is a word that would convince them to believe that you are not a threat for them, you would say it don't you? What if you did tell them but, they are too arrogant to listen? Sigh...Sigh... Sigh... Just say a little prayer then and hoping everything will turn out okay.
The above video is LEO BUSCAGLIA, my favorite author. If you are in a dilemma...just listen.

Repeat of my Valentine's Steak Dinner

Guest post written by Rachel Bryant.

My boyfriend did the nicest thing for me for Valentine's Day, he fixed me a steak dinner! Maybe that sounds a little weird, but I would much rather have that than chocolate, flowers or even jewelry. Him doing that just proved to me how well we actually do know each other. I loved it so much that I decided that I would do something special for my boyfriend for his birthday and try to recreate that steak dinner with his favorite side dishes.

But, I want it to be extra special and surprise him, so I'm not asking him for his recipes. I went online to find my own recipes and when I was doing that I came across the site satelliteinternetbroadband.com. ! After I read through it a little bit, I decided to sign up for one of the internet packages I found on there for my apartment.

I've found most of the recipes for the things that I'm going to fix for the dinner, which is next weekend. I guess it will just be a little tougher to surprise him when he sees a lit grill on my patio.

Beautiful Blue Sky

I love watching the sky and see the different formation of clouds. It is fascinating to capture it as it changes from one form to another. If you pay much attention to it, sometimes it has animal forms, human figures and trees. On the first picture here, check if you can find a human figure wearing a hood :-)

The picture below was taken during the final flight of the Discovery Shuttle. The needle-like view was the path of the shuttle as it flew away from the earth.

Below is a picture of the sky beneath Disney's Hollywood Studio area. I remember the humidity and the warm dry weather at that time with temperature as high as 104. Look beautiful right? It was a very hot day!

This road leads to Disney World and look at the blue sky, so clear right? Florida is called the Sunshine State of the US and the weather here is very nice. Starting March though, the weather is muggy hot that sometimes you would wish to live in Canada:-)

Mao kini ang akong Hulagway sa Kinabuhi sa Letrang G-GABON! Nindotan kaayo ko ug kuha sa hulagway sa gabon bisan asa. Kung naa lang koy DSLR nga kamera, mas nindot jud unta akong makuha nga hulagway. Salamat sa pagbisita sa akong payag ha. Laag lang pud diri sunod ha. Salamat ug dako :-)

Epcot in Disney

Epcot is another Disney World famous theme park and it's symbol is this round object. This place is located in Orlando Florida just few minutes away from my home really. I've been to Epcot once and did not able to see all the attractions. This is an awesome place to visit and unwind. Epcot is twice the size of Magic Kingdom.

This park has the fastest Disney attractions to gentle boat rides. There are also thrilling hang-gliding experience to interactive play areas that ignite children's interest. I have been to Future World attraction and it has focus on technological advancements, innovation and wonder. In Future World, they say ideas become reality. Awesome huh?Inside the Pavilions, you can find shops, attractions and restaurants that represent the culture and cuisine of these 11 countries: Mexico, Norway, China , Germany, Italy, United States, Japan, Morocco, France, United Kingdom, and Canada. During this time, Flower and Garden Festival is ongoing. This year it started March 2 up to May 15 and there are celebrities coming to grace the events such as my favorite Ahmed Hassan from HGTV's Yard Crasher.

Anytime soon, I will be coming to Epcot and visit the place to at least finish half of the attractions. How I wish my family and friends is here to accompany me.

Kini akong tampo karong semanaha. Sa letrang E, EPCOT, ang lugar nga sunod nakong paga adtoan..

High by Lighthouse

When you're close to tears remember Some day it'll all be over One day we're gonna get so high And though it's darker than December What's ahead is a different colour One day we're gonna get so high And at The end of the day remember the days When we were close to the edge And we'll wonder how we made it through the night The end of the day remember the way We stayed so close till the end We'll remember it was me and you 'Cause we are gonna be forever you and me You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love Don't you think it's time you started Doing what we always wanted One day we're gonna get so high 'Cause even the impossible is easy when we got each other One day 'we're gonna get so high And at The end of the day remember the days when we were close to the edge And we'll wonder how we made it through the night The end of the day remember the way We stayed so close to till the end We'll remember it was me and you. 'Cause we are gonna be forever you and me You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love (x2) High, high, high, high.(x2) And at The end of the day remember the days when we were close to the edge And we'll wonder how we made it through the night The end of the day remember the way We stayed so close to till the end We'll remember it was me and you. 'Cause we are gonna be forever you and me You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love (x3)

Road Trip To Port Canaveral

Hello everyone! What I have here are pictures that I took while we went to Port Canaveral, Florida. This place is the gateway to major consumer markets. Considered as one of the best leisure destinations in the coast of Florida. This place is located on the east coast of central Florida and offer cruise lines, cargo lines, shippers, businesses and vacationers. This place speaks of a first-class deep water port unveiling the uncongested setting and relaxed environment.Driving our way on this bridge going for lunch and here we are passing the Banana River. This place is so beautiful and a good place to go fishing and boating. It's only an hour travel from Orlando. This is where we go for swimming and hang out the beach.Mao kini ang mga kasagara nga DALAN diri sa Amerika. Luag uyamot ug dili gubot. Daghan pud lusutan kung pananglit naay disgrasya sa unahan pero, kana kung sinati ka pod sa mga agianan. Kasagara tag 3 ug tag-4 ka-"lane" para ngadto ug ngani, busa kung totalon, kasagara 6 ngadto sa walo tanan. Bisan tuod luag, naa japon disgrasya nga daghan tungod sa abusado nga drayber nga sige ug "text" samtang ga dryb! Busa, inig lakaw nato, mangadye jud ta sa Ginoo nga i-likay ta nya sa disgrasya ug kadaut!

Mao kini ang akong tampo karong semanaha sa letrang D!Malipayong pagbasa mga bisaya nga gwapa ug gwapo!

Coffee Break

What's up people? Are you having a coffee break from all those tasks? As a blogger, I need to stretch my body from my "curled-sit position" for so many hours. I do that :-) I need a coffee break too once in a while to keep me awake especially when I did online tasks at wee hours! Dang! It's hard to keep our minds awake right? Nothing will come out from our brain as if it just shut down! So, to keep us awake, we need coffee breaks! What's in a coffee anyway? It always has an energizing effect for us, right? I am a moderate coffee drinker because caffeine causes my headache. Coffee can either causes headaches or helps relieve headaches. What can you say from your point of view?

Ang KAPE naga hatag kanato sa katagbaw hilabina kung kita gi uhaw. Sa uban kinia maayo kay paminaw nila, lagsik ang bation kung maka inom na sa lamian nga kape puro. Bisan gusto ko ug kape intawon, dili pwede masubraan kay pastilan, musakit man ako ulo kung malabian. Akoang buhaton, para diko maglaway, magkutaw ko ug kape unya taman lang sa simhot. Hala KUK mo diha pero tinood baya akoang sugilon. This is my entry for letter K. Share some of your ideas people :-)

Food Craving

I was sick and I was hungry! When I check out my pantry, I know what to prepare. I had a bad headache for a week and I was off from my PC for days. It's hard to open my PC if I had a migraine plus alternating with rhinitis, ahhh it was agonizing. I woke up so hungry today because I lost my appetite for days. I was craving for "Binignit", it's a local food which the main ingredients are: plantain banana, coco milk and sweet potato. I did satisfy my craving with my home cooked binignit! BINIGNIT ang gikamingawan ko nga pagkaon. Naningkamot nalang ko tawon sa paghimo aron dili ko gutmon. Unsaon, nia man ko sa layo napadpad pag-panimpalad hehehe. Lamian nko nga Binignit, pastilan lami nalang para sa akoa kay wa man ako mama nga maoy magdigamo para sa akoa:-).

I'm humbled with all the blessings that I have. I miss the comfort food which I enjoyed back home. When we are away from home, we will miss the food---part of the culture. The only thing that you can do is to make it. Too much of a good thing makes us take for granted simple stuff around, right? Anyway, this is my entry for letter B. Hope you like it everyone!

Beautiful Sunrise

Trials make us vulnerable! We are but only humans, right? We have no super-power to switch on and shut down our feelings and senses! Problems can swallow us whole especially if we have no one to talk to and share our burden with. WAKE UP! If we let "the problems" rule over us, it will definitely knock us down and everything will turn-upside-down, what do you expect?

"Ang Pagsubang sa Adlaw"- Kini ang nagapahinumdum kanato nga ang kinabuhi adunay paglaum nga maayo luyo sa atong problema nga maoy nagpahuyang sa atoang pagtoo kaniya nga gamhanan sa tanan.

LIFE is what we make it! Sunrise reminds us that as long as we breathe life, there is HOPE! Don't let the problems knock you down, okay? If you feel like everyone turns their back on you, there is GOD who is an ULTIMATE one that you need in your LIFE!

Angel by Sarah MacLachlan

Whenever hubby heard this song in XM Radio, he would turn the volume up. He just loves the song and I don't see why. This is a sad song but full of hope and compassion to someone. This song was inspired by Jonathan Melvoin's death, a keyboardist of Smashing Pumpkin group who died of drug overdose. The melody would drive you to the world of serenity and bring you in a placid mood. If you happen to see the movie City of Angels starring Meg Ryan and Nicolas Cage, this song made it to the number 1 in the billboard chart. That movie is one of my favorites. I cried rivers at the end of the movie. Sigh!

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh a beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
oh and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight life
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe
in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
