Angry Sky

There is a tropical storm that will hit the Gulf Coast this weekend! Bonnie would definitely hit the spill site. According to the news, tropical storm warning was in effect for some areas in Florida and Louisiana. The places such as the west coast from East Cape Sable north to Englewood; also Destin-Florida to Morgan City-Louisiana, including Lake Pontchartrain.

Here is the picture of the angry sky in my area. It would be worst to the places I mentioned earlier. In every storm, everyone should take extra precaution. Be safe everyone!

Clock

When my father-in-law died, it was one of the saddest moments of our lives. We lived with him for almost two years and everyday we had fun activities to keep us busy. Both dad and my husband loves to dine out. We practically dine out almost everyday. We enjoyed eating seafoods such as crawfish, king crabs, oysters and lobsters. There are times that we just hang around in the house and played the Wii games. He loves bowling and we will trully miss him. As of this week, we are clearing his home and put it on the market for sale as soon as possible.

Did you know that we found antique mantle clock around the house? He died 90 years old so, some of his belongings are really as old as he was. His daughter took care of all his asset and put it all in the trust to divide it equally to all the siblings. Well, life must go on for the living and all we can do right now is to let him go with a prayerful heart.

Schooling

After quitting my job, I decided to go back to school. I wanted to pursue my Masters Degree and start the business that I dreamed to have. Of course I prefer not to live in a boarding school even though it is much better that way and gain privacy.

My friend Vivian who studied Education in UK, lived in a boarding school just like Alexanders School . We had a good communication for the past months now and she showed me her dorm room. It was a nice place and has a very quite environment. My friend loves her room because it is easy to maintain and has everything to it. Her place is located in a good location too. She can go to a store nearby and visit a park in walking distance.

It is different with me though. My place is gated and the grocery store is 15 minutes away. Anyway, I am just excited for this enrolment process and looking forward for my first day of class. I am hoping to finish this course with high marks.

Snowboards

One of the fun activities that I want to experience is to visit Alaska and use the snowboards. I lived in a tropical place all my life and when I moved here, I have been living in Orlando, Florida. No snow of course and if it is winter, the weather is just freezing but snow is seldom to happen. Anyway, my husband and I already planned to visit my brother-in-law in Missouri come winter time. I was so excited and looking forward for that visit. It will be an exciting moment for me if I can play the snow by the backyard and take pictures.

Here in Biloxi - Mississippi, we never have snow for years. Last Winter, when the weather man reported that there might be a chance that we will have 6 inches snow, many went excited! But, it never came! The weather only frozen the water by the canals and lakes. That is why when winter comes this year, I will be packing and heading to Missouri for sure! How about you? Share your experience while playing on snowboards.

Birthday Treat From HardRock Biloxi

Today, we had a good dinner and claim my free birthday treat from HardRock Hotel and Casino. Hard Rock has a good marketing offers for everyone! Birthday treat to the Satisfaction Buffet is just one of their amazing deals! I had a wonderful dinner for FREE and I won in one of their slot machines. How cool is that? I am not a big time winner but, I did enjoy my time in Hard Rock Biloxi today. Thanks Hard Rockers for an excellent service.

Glass Showcases

Every month, I make sure that I can send "Balikbayan" package to my family back home. I always send it to a store owned by a nice couple who have four adorable daughters. When the youngest needs more of her mother's time and support in the school, they decided to close their store. I can understand how hard it was to choose betwen family versus fianacial source of income. Of course, they have to chose one and that is to let go of the business.

Their store has a lot of glass showcases which are really elegant. They sell and mark it on sale as well as all the products inside the store. I was a little sad too knowing that it was the only store where I can trust to send my package. Lo and behold because the family decided to keep that service continue. Having that business do not demand much of their time because the customers can send the package through them by appointment.I was so relieved upon knowing that they will keep that business! Today, the couple has a quality time to spend to their daughters and enjoyed tracking their school activities.

My Maestro Guitar by Gibson

My husband gave me a birthday present which I truly love. He gave me a full size black colored acoustic guitar, a maestro made by Gibson. Music is my passion and strumming guitar is a forgotten hobby that I missed when I left the Philippines. I played guitar since my elementary years and I learned to read notes by practice.

Music became part of my life especially when I was in fifth grades. After school, I was always excited to go home and play my cousin's guitar. I had this crazy moment when I do not spend my snack allowance and saved it to buy a song magazine (wink). And everything will be alright as long as I can strum my guitar and sing my sad songs. When I was in high school, I joined a choral group and church choir and after the practice, we always take turns to strum our favorite music. It was fun! For me, the sound of music is soothing and I can be in a fantasy land where all I can feel is peace of mind and satisfaction!

Mailboxes

We have a closefriend who phoned us early in the morning to rant about his experience that day. When he went out to pick his morning paper, he saw his mailbox shattered into pieces. The design of his mailbox is a Notre Dame Football helmet because he is a big fan of them. Anyway, he was so mad about it and asked us if we could help him order a durable mailbox online. Of course, we did not order the same mailbox but similar to the picture below.

Mc Donald's I Love

Back in the Philippines, Mc Donald's is one of my favorite fast food chains. I love the taste of their crunchy fried chicken and the tasty cooler goodies! I also love to collect their kid pack collectibles. I am still a child at heart by then, LOL! Right now, I am so over with the fun of collecting for myself but, I do buy them for my niece and nephews.

This is the McDonald's near Canal Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. I was just attracted to take the picture because when I stand in this angle, the tree is right at the middle, LOL! Just a shallow fascination (wink)!
