Musical Instrument

Have you ever found the right place to buy any music related products via online? You might try to check out http://www.musiciansfriend.com/  today. I just saw the site and wanted to share it with you too.  I'm thinking to buy an electric guitar but, that will be in few months. Right now, I can't afford one. My brother owns an electric guitar before given by my uncle. Such a beautiful thing to play! Since then, I am dreaming to own one too.

Vater Drums

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 Vater Drums. 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.

The Beauty of Sunset

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.

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. 

When I saw the beautiful sky, I said a prayer that the workers in this company will find a new job easy.

Venturing On a New Journey

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.

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.

By the way, I am sharing this photo that I took few days ago. You probably have this wild flower in your backyard. It looks beautiful isn't it? Have a great week ahead. Thanks for reading my blog. Come by next time.

Series 1 of #Outlander : Diana Gabaldon

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.

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.

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.

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!

What do you think? Do you watch Outlander? Who is your favorite character?

#GoogleDoodle : First Day of #Autumn

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!

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.

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.

How about you? Do you like Autumn? Don't you love to see the shedding of leaves?

Praying for Comfort : #StevenSotloff

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.

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.

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?

Here's what I shared in my Facebook yesterday, the words of wisdom from #MahatmaGandi :

“When I despair, I remember that all through history

the way of truth and love

have always won.

There have been tyrants and murderers,

and for a time,

they can seem invincible,

but in the end,

they always fall. Think of it--always.”

On Trust

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.

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.

On Honesty

Honesty is such a lonely word ...

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.

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.

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?"

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.

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".

She will hold it as a secret until her husband will be ready to tell her.

I thought about my friend right now. She will never look at the husband the same ... ever again.
