Airplane: Fun Pics

Hubby and I went to Wal-mart today, having a grocery and bought his new computer. As we were ready to leave, I saw the Alliance and Virgin Atlantic air planes heading towards Orlando International Airport and I took these pictures.
I wanted to capture the angle of a plane showing my giant fingers barely touching it. I guess I was not fast enough for that caption.
I just want to do some experiment here, so bare with me:-). If I did have a photography class, I would have known what kind of photography caption I had right now. Expect that I will be posting here more of my experiment pictures soon.

Foreclosure Condos

Two weeks ago, hubby and I met our realtor and checked out some foreclosure properties in a 5-mile radius of our place. Luckily for us, we found a nice and right on our budget condo which was a potential "property income". It was a 1B/1B with a nice size patio for only $14K. Unbelievable price right? It can be rented for $600 and in 3 years, a return of investment is likely to happen. The condo is not a move-in ready because the Residential flooring is torn and needs new carpet/tile. We were so excited but, our realtor called us an hour ago that the property was already sold to someone. Home buying needs patience and perseverance, a reality that home buyers should possess or they will get discourage at the end. Now, when we bid on a property, we play it by ears. If we get it, lucky us and if we don't, we are enthusiastic to find another property. Presently, we bid on three properties and hoping to hear a positive response from one of the listing agent.

Discovery: Final Launch

Today, I requested my husband that we will drive to Cocoa Beach area or to Port Canaveral to watch the historic event of the Final Flight of the Discovery Space Shuttle. It is an hour drive from Orlando but later in the afternoon, we decided not to push through the plan because of the heavy traffic heading to Kennedy Space Center. We watched the launch outside from our home.I could have gotten a closer picture of the Discovery Shuttle but, a thick cloud was on it's way covering the nice shot. As the shuttle flew higher, all I can do was to take the shot of the needle-like image in the sky. This is it! I was a bit disappointed but, there's two more to launch so; I will go by then.Here is the closer look of the launch using a nice camera. I just took this picture on our 50 inch TV :-)

Blessings in Blogging

For me, blogging is my sideline business and it does bring "moolah" in the bank. Anybody who has the patience to face the computer most of the day and creative enough to take this "work-from-home" business seriously, I guarantee that it can support your luxury. The opportunity of landing a good high paying job these days are scarce so; blogging is a rewarding job which you can enjoy and earn money easy!

These two gadgets were just few of the things that I bought thru blogging. When I have errands to do outside my home, I make sure that I have these two tiny goodies with me. Internet on the go, fast and reliable using this USB connect. I only use this lappy while I am not on my desk at home. If you have no alternate laptop, this netbook will come in handy. Enjoy blogging y'all!

Printer Ink Cartridges

Just the other day, I was very busy collecting my documents for Immigration purposes. I had to prepare two sets of every supporting documents, one for Immigration and the other for my file. As I was copying my original documents all of a sudden, my HP printer ink runs out! That took me another hour to go to the store, buy the needed ink and get done with what I'm doing. What a stressful day that was! Do you have extra office supplies in your office? If not, you better have one to avoid the delay of your business dealings.

Cagayan de Misamis: 1924

*This is a Re-post with permission from the author himself..

Shared by Enrico Ramon Lluch.

President Emilio Aguinaldo visited Cagayan de Misamis in OCtober 5, 1924. This photo shows a make-shift covered stand, which after careful study, indicates this to be on the spot at the present day Divisoria, Tiano Brothers Street end, facing the Rizal Monument.

The corner house in the near background used to house "Mama's Favorite" Store in the 70's.

I am posting these, scanned from Tita Tellie Velez' collection -- in celebration of our city's charter anniversary.

On June 15, 1950 former President Elpidio Quirino signed Republic Act No. 521 in the Malacañang Palace. It granted the status of a chartered city to the Municipality of Cagayan de Misamis. This was made possible through the efforts of then Congressman Emmanuel Pelaez, who eventually became the Vice President of the Philippines.

Cagayan de Oro was declared a highly urbanized city by the Ministry of Local Government on November 22, 1983.

Me and Blogging Moment

One of those rare moments, enjoying my time under the old oak tree. Talk about inspiration? This is heaven! The place is so quite and surreal! While living in Mississippi for 18 months, I did enjoy the beauty of the Gulf Coast. Even in a stormy weather like this (as shown in the picture), you still can see the awesome sky kissing the horizon. (Smile) Okay! Enough for this dreamy description, there's truth to what I say though, right? Shown above is the bridge that connects two cities in the state of Mississippi, Biloxi and Ocean Springs. I took this picture when Hubby and I did our afternoon rides in Front Beach area. The blurry big building at the end of the bridge is Isle of Capri in Biloxi, MS. It is one of the hotel and casinos in the area. If you travel down South along Highway 90 at Beach Boulevard, check out the affordable buffet at The Buffet (one of the restaurants in the ISLE), enjoy the meals wholeday.

This is the signboard of Fort Maurepas Park, the location of the park which already inaugurated last October 5, 2009. The park is located at Ocean Springs Mississippi. It has a playground, sitting area for those who loves to relax under the old oak trees while enjoying the view of the beach. This is one of the best places that I love to hang out specially when I am blogging.

My Home Project

I made 3 months vacation in the Philippines and did my home project for 45 days. It is very costly but, I am contented even though I had limited time. I made a 24 sq ft extension from the old building of my place, and here is the ground floor which extended the dining/living room area. I have a vaulted ceiling which I preferred to have in my home, here it is.

The second floor with the outside stairs. My 24 ft extension is a preparation for another extension (scratching my head-confused LOL) on the front space . I have a spiral stairs for the roof top and the view at the top is spectacular!

Here is the closer look of my extension project. The first floor, the second and the roof top=== all concrete and done in 45 days. I was so relieved!
I used polycarbonate to shed my terrace on the second floor and temporarily, I used stones to accent the beams of the building.
So far, I am contented with my project. Hopefully I can finish my home project next year when I come visit.
