Happy Friday Everyone!

I can't stretch the idea that a week is going to end soon. Ooh yeah! Time flies fast, isn't it?

How's on your end? How's your week so far? This is the last day of the weekdays and soon enough (or tomorrow) it will be the beginning of the end of the week, Saturday. What are you planning to do? Having a barbecue? Ooh well, some place in the world is already cold and even snowing already but here in the West Coast (California particularly) it is still sunny even if it's already autumn. It feels it is still summer. Summer all season long. Whew! I can't complain. We have the best weather ever. Smile. :-)

And so happy Friday (or Saturday to other part of the world to all of you! Have a blessed one! Smile.

Moving to a Healthy Environment

The economic instability in the US and in some part of the Euro zone has affected almost everyone in their way of living. Everyone goes up the mortgages and most of the common commodities except for the wages, I guess. With it, a lot have decided to downsize, live in a simple life and some moved out of the city to the suburbs to avoid expensive rents. And if you are nearby, try checking out real estate jackson for it is often referred as the gateway to the nearby National Parks and several ski resorts.

It is classified as a town but it seems like you did not actually leave the city because of the abundance of large shopping centers and an eating district right at the center of the town. The tourism industry is booming as well because of its several mountain resorts and range. You are not only living a healthy environment and atmosphere but you will be enticed to explore the beautiful spots and National Parks around the area. And since safety is of much concern by everyone else, I’m sure it won’t be a problem in the area considering the presence of several medical centers and emergency services.

 But you must expect a humid continental climate because it is quite elevated at almost 2000 meters above sea level. And since transportation is always an issue in many areas yet you may not be able to have some problem because of the existing rapid transit bus systems and of course the only airport that is located inside a national park.

Excited for Jessica Sanchez in AI

Ooh my God! My East Coast pals are already on their eyes on TV for American Idol whilst us here in the West has to wait for three hours to see AI. Hmp! :-D They are updating here and everywhere. It's good though there's no thrill at all to all folks who likes thrilling in action. Ha! Anyway, there's still time for voting since there is still tomorrow after this day. Tonight up to tomorrow will be the voting day but for text votes, just only two hours after the show and that's it. So cast your votes through text, phone call, online voting and any votes you think it is valid.

By the way, who's your bet? Apparently, as seen in my title, I vote for Jessica Sanchez! Not that I don't like Phillip Philips but I like more of JS since she has a superb voice and she's still young. At young age, she has that guts and that's what I like more. :-) I love the two though. :-) The votes will count back to basics and all the winning requirements.

And so, are you excited of who will win? My vote, yours or theirs? Let's see! :-)

Happy Saturday!

It is officially Saturday here in Pacific Daylight Time, yes, here in United States of A since it is now just passed 12 midnight but before one o'clock yet though. After this (or in the midst) I have to give my precious daughter  her midnight medicine. As she just drink her milk two hours ago, it doesn't then she needs milk. It could either be later at one o'clock in the morning or two, the maximum would three o'clock in the morning to give it to her. Ooh well, I like to sleep now, I am so sleepy. So I have to park now and give my preciousness her medicine and hopefully I could hit the hay.

Alright, since it is already first day of weekend. Allow me to greet you a "Have a Great Happy Saturday!". What have you plan for this day? Whatever it is, enjoy responsibly. ~hugs&kisses~

April Fools Day

It's not April yet, I know. But I am greeting you in advance a "Happy April Fools Day!". It is great of doing it in advance and remind you that April 1st is fooling day. So beware of that! Or else, you will be "out-of-place" or OP as you don't know or remember such. It is nice to remember even just little things. We may not know little things matter and possible to get high, don't you think?

Now, I warned you of a fooling day, two days from now, okay?

I don't know the history of this but one thing is for sure I would love to research why, would like to know how it began. For now, I just want to share this info for you.

Happy April Fools Day in advance for April 1st!

Happy 1st Day Spring Season '12!

Are you excited of the spring cleaning, yet? Or, are you done? Probably not since spring season here in United States of A has just begun and it's this day. Have you been looking forward to this? Are you tired of the snow and been wrapped in thick clothes? What about snow? Do you want to think when would the snow would go in vacation? Ha! You bet! I know how hard living in snowy areas, am just thankful I have a great weather all-year round than those with such, though. Thinking of California, the place where I am, you already know this has somehow like a place of tropical weather. And that's what I am thankful since I was born and grew in a tropical country. In fairness, I still like to experience a White Christmas sometime during December (of course) and some other snow fun. For now, let's enjoy the spring season. This has been created for us to enjoy the start of warm weather soon. :-)

Happy 1st Spring Season (even if you don't have this season. ha!) to you!

Happy Saint Patrick Day!

Since most folks already greet, happy Saint Patrick' Day, I also want to greet you the same thing " Happy Saint Patrick's Day!". I am not an Irish but I believe it is not a bump on my face to like wearing green of Saint Patrick's commemoration day. Or if not in green, you will be pinched! Ooh yeah! :-) Or have something that has a clover on it, or just simply celebrating the day with Heineken on-hand or with drinks. :-) Which of this you did? Or nothing? Worry not, simply wait for the next year's St. Patty's event like this. :-)

Have a great one all! :-)

Daylight Savings Time Begin Today!

Year 2012, date: March 11, 2012 marks the DST of the year (I have to thank Raquel Olayer for her shout-out/update in FB about this, then I got a chance to research and yeah, it's right). If you are in United States of America or know and updated about here, you are familiar of what I said. Yes, Daylight Savings Time {Pacific Time has now changed from Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) to Pacific Savings Time (PDT) } occurs anytime day in the first quarter of the year. And so now is the day of this year. Most big phone companies like ATT update its phone time automatically. When your line is on this/such company, no need to move your clocks and watches plus one (so instead of 5:00, it would have to be moved to 6:00). But if it's manual then you need to do it by yourself, as from the word "manual" it must be understood.

Americans, inhabitants (just like me) and alike may not know the history of this but one is for sure, it is already a norm here in USA so have to follow it. For myself, I got a little knowledge (good thing there is a little. :-P) about it, nothing matters anyway but just have to move clocks and watches to an hour so I won't be late with an appointment and others.

Happy DST Day! ;-)

Happy Labor Day USA!

 I just want to greet everyone here in US and to those who celebrate with this place celebration, a happy and have a great Labor Day to all! Have fun and enjoy the no-working day responsibly!

Labor Day here in United States of A, is celebrated every first Monday of September. Yes, in first Monday of the first "ber" months of the year. Today is the day for this year, 2011.This marks my 5th year Labor Day celebration with the folks here especially my hubby-lovey. Smile. Later, am off for videoke if DH won't hurt his ears listening me singing. Ha ha! What about you, what you're up to? Will you be going outside to spend this holiday or just in your home sweet home? Wherever you will going to spend, all the best and have a great one. Have a great bonding with family and friends! ~hugs&kisses~

Ruby Tuesday: Rambutan Fruit

Rambutan, anyone? That's still fresh from the in-sink running water in my kitchen place, cooled in a colander. You can even see the water drops on the colander side. How I missed this fruit. This is my first time eaten this, well, here in USA. This red-colored skin/hairy-fruit is a pretty expensive one but I got this in a great deal just for $1.99 per lb and a bag weighed 2.39 lbs and I saved $9.56 all in all. So I grabbed without any hesitation upon seeing it is on-sale or because I bought it in bulk. Imagine that 2.39 lbs! Ha ha! And I ate such alone, DH don't like it. Good for me. Ha!

And you bet, I ate this only at two sittings. Hep!

Camping Tent

But, is there any uses of tent other than camping? Oops! Ooh yeah, there is. But usually it is for camping purposes! Alright. My friend and her family, is having a vacation right now. They went sight-seeing and then camping to Yellow Stone and other nearby place. Yellow Stone attraction is their main vacation destination which is very far from here in the place we live in. They go road trip. And they bring necessary camping stuffs especially a tent like Nemo Losi Tent which accommodates the whole family in time of relaxation, sleeping or such. It would be a great bonding for them and am happy about that.  God is great despite of obstacles and trials. They need it and they deserve it. I wish them good luck and all the best. She calls sometimes and I don't want to spoil her vacation so I just call/answer when she calls. She deserves a vacation with her family. And camping helps because they love nature adventure.

Fuzzy/ Insomnia, or What?

My body clock is still on its own mind. I cannot yet sleep. And my tummy is aching a bit. I can sense of a lot of air and other to which I do not know what will I do with it. I have to think. I have to force my eyes to close and sleep after this post. I just want to voice out, it may help. I have to drink milk to get started. So my body clock will start normally. Yes, I would like it to get back to normal just like sleeping at night and just take a nap during daytime. Sometimes, blame it to BV to catch the GB! Ha! Oops! I can still manage but it is great to get back to the ordinary way. I am busy you know. And I just have to catch some task and chores at the same time won't stressed-out for the sake of the baby-in-my-tummy. Living in USA is hard when we don't know how to cope up of this and that. We must learn how to get used and work with it even with tiny little thing to live and get organized. It is a matter of time-management and our  health system at the same time which is hard to get. Determination and guidance from God is the key.

 

CMP's RT: Red Building

Below is my entry for this day Ruby Tuesday meme. A memory of one of our passed-by there in Los Angeles proper. We got our food there and passed this red big building. I was amazed by its color. It's red hot red all-over! Seems like a coca-cola building but not. It's just simply a building. Not typical building but cool one for me. What do you think?

Above image is the closer look of the building (I zoomed it in) and below is the far part. I was in the front passenger's set while taking this pic. We're in FreeWay.

Happy Ruby Tuesday everyone!

4th of July (USA Independence Day)

How was your 4th of July (or USA Independence Day/ Philippines-American Friendship Day) yesterday? I bet you had a great time. Mine was great. DH and I was just at home having a movie marathon. Then at night went outside to see fireworks display. Nope, we didn't went out to park where people were but a few walks outside here in the apartment complex. We didn't went to Almansor Park (where a lot of  fireworks display fired from government here in the place I and DH resides) because of the crowd, my tummy could be bumped then aside from that the smell of the after-fired fireworks isn't good for me as being pregnant. That was why we just watched afar. Even with that, I still saw beautifully made fired fireworks! It was amazing! Colorful, soundly ones, flied-high and much more. Ah, what a celebration/commemoration of an Independence Day how many decades ago which USA got. Yesterday indeed is a national holiday which means no work or for private ones, triple pay for them if they work of such day. Meaning, it is merely a day of a precious and should be fun one. It's a happy thought and a happy celebration indeed! How was yours?

Cloudy

The weather here in the place where I resides for several days already from now is cloudy. Usually at 10 a.m. the sun shines already but then, it does/did not. Sometimes the sun shines at 2 p.m. then went off and then back, then off and sets at 8 p.m. Unpredictable yet I could not complain. We don't have tornado and snowstorm or a scary storm here in California and that is to be thankful about. The weather of this spring turning summer this year looks like winter going spring, but it's a good thing for me. It's not that hot because it's somewhat windy unlike the other year. Well, just saying, nothing to worry about but praising for a good weather. I am just sad what happened to the places like Missouri where tornadoes touched down. Several people dead. I am praying for them.

Charlie Sheen Have to Be Treated?

Do you believe Charlie Sheen is still on-drugs? How do you find the breaking news way back weeks ago about the news that he's still in-drugs which also caused him dragged down from his contract of that "Two and a Half Men" show? I may believe the news. I do not know about you what is your thinking about it but the fact he is already out of the show, such a horrible moment of him. Ah, he might like to go malibu treatment centers for him to be sober/rehabilitate for life, eh? Why not if that would make a person better, right? I have to agree that if a person is controlled with an illegal drugs, he/she has to be treated for good. That is the only way to go out such, don't you think? Because for me, I think so. :-P

Disability

Disability of working normally. Being disable, as in something is happening in any part of your body whilst still working or even not working. If you happen to be at this stage, then I suggest to claim for disability benefits. Hence, getting into disability appeal for such has to be done and claimed rightfully if cannot be done as do-it-yourself or just a normal way. Well, why not get a reliable company/person who can handle all the works and just wait when it's already done, right? :-) Here in USA, most people are hardworking. And it's not bad. Others said, "more work means, more taxes" but that undone statement. Meaning, there is something lacking on it, it has to be like "but it's great" because it really is great. Taxes has been spent and can be seen. And you get what you earned. You have social security benefits and such, that is why I can say or should I say, it is great! As workers will be taken good care of especially during disability, crisis or retirement time, don't you think?

Juggling Trauma?

Well, not really trauma but some kind of, "hey, can I have a break? , could this be tomorrow? " But cannot, it has to be done right then, right at that time and day! What the __ ! Okay, forget it! I have to do it or I'll be running out of time. Seems like if i will not do this now, I can start it anytime then after ward but it would end the next year no matter! So I have to do it, no choice! Unless if I cannot move, as in paralyze (God forbid!), idle, or dead (God forbid!). Well, that much harsh but it all goes at that word anyway. Yes, what has to be done, has to be done. So, I have to do it.

Yesterday, I was juggling of thinking what to eat, vomiting at times, a little nauseous, but I have to do the  making of the beds (I made our couch my second bed), washing dishes and washing clothes (though it is not that hard since it is to go with washer and dryer, yet still I had five loads and I have to do it slowly by slowly at downstairs, yes as in up and down.), and oops some online task have to finish. Gosh, you may think it is just easy but not. Still, I managed it. Thank you Lord. Though I had body ache, still thankful for some exercise too though I think it's too much exercise. Ha! (am not complaining though)

Well, life is like that. We have to work in order to live, right? So right on! We need to have courage to survive. ;-)

Long Beach Apartments for Rent

Apartment is considered one's own home as long as renter paid the monthly bills. Aright, it is not literally owned but knowing that you live in there and as I said paid its dues on-time and you are comfortable in such rented house then you are a happy renter. One can call it a home, a rented home. Most houses anyway are mortgage, taxes and dues will be paid at the end of the year so for me, it is just the same. Well, okay not that so. It just depends upon the size, location, ambiance and stuffs like that. Luxurious ones like long beach apartment, would surely renter feel and live like a king and queen. The point is one is comfortable where one resides, then that is it all about. Don't you think?

Speaking of luxurious apartments in city of Long Beach of California, you may check out long beach listings of 1900 Ocean Apartments for that. You can have the luxury units and a selection of wide array in such complex. Most importantly, beach and white sand is just a walk and view away. So, if you are looking for a luxurious apartment for rent in long beach ca, I may suggest give them a call or look-up on how to contact them and schedule a tour. We may never know once you see the place or unit personally. Now it made me want to live there, if only my DH's work is in Long Beach city. No regret, I love our apartment home and that's all that counts but if ever we will be moving there, I would like to have that place checked-out or inquire!
