WHEN BASEBALL SEASON COMES

 in  Life & Lifestyle   
Share

As spring begins, baseball season ushers in. My husband and I are baseball fanatics, both rooting for the Boston Red Sox. But whenever the Red Sox fails to get a chance at the play-offs, we discuss the odds and streaks of any team competing for the World Series. We usually bet on who is going to win the game. Though not wagering money, we both agree on whoever wins the bet, will buy dinner at any fancy restaurant of the winner's choice.I am so much aware that there indeed sports betting existing around this country. In fact, there are sports betting books that pervade online. If you don'   read more

RAINY DAY WITHOUT POWER

 in  Life & Lifestyle   
Share

What could be worse than a rainy day without electric power? Three days ago, my husband got a call from work to go back to bed because work was interrupted due to power outage. It was of course, good news to spend another day at home from a  2-day weekend.  Westchester county in New York and Fairfield county in Connecticut were without electricity because of the hurricane-like winds that gushed at those areas last weekend. There were more than a hundred trees that toppled down causing road blockage and electric wires and poles broken. These winds were due to the the typhoon-like rains   read more

THIS ONE IS SO FUNNY SHE CAN'T BE A HUMAN BEING

 in  Life & Lifestyle

Hi readers, bloggers, stalkers, friends and haters, I want to share this ; At first I was quite reluctant to post this because it might give out an implication that I'm paying attention to this person and people would think I'm so "affected." ;This person left a comment on my other blog, the Praise blog hosted by Blogger. She left 2 comments that are so vile-ful, caustic and brimming with vitriol. I wonder where all that rage coming from. In leaving a comment, she made me a Blogger account using my photo and created a freaking hilarious description. I can't believe a person   read more

WHAT DO AMERICANS TALK ABOUT?

 in  Life & Lifestyle   
Share

What do people gab about regardless of race, culture, sex and creed? Most people talk about family, friends, society, politics, other people, celebrities and news. Mass media and society generally constitute the "points of interest" on which humans chatter about anytime and anywhere. For 15 years, there were studies on how much do we talk, and it was found out that women talk 3x more than men. In a most recent study, it was discovered that a woman speaks 20,000 words in an average day while men only utters 7,000 words.  But what do we really talk about?What do Americans talk about   read more

SPEAKING OF AMERICAN TIME

 in  Life & Lifestyle   
Share

Daylight Saving Time kicks in, various time zones to adjust , and the annoying Filipino time to tolerate with.This  Sunday, March 14th, clocks in the U.S. are reset one hour advanced. This is the time when Americans  say, "make time fast" when they mean that time is ahead than normal. This resetting of time is necessary for seasonal conditions around America (except for Arizona and Hawaii), which we call DST or Daylight Saving Time. DST or Summer Time  is the practice of "saving daylight to add more daylight to afternoons and lessen daylight in the mornings."   read more

MARCH IS JOYOUS

 in  Life & Lifestyle   
Share

March is a very joyous month for us just like December. For one thing, it's the month when winter ends and spring begins. It's also the month where we celebrate our wedding anniversary--a very memorable event that had signified a change in my life and my vision. It's also the month where my husband's 2 younger brothers mark their birthdays. The youngest one celebrates his wedding anniversary with his wife 6 days after we have ours. Therefore, it's a month of gift-giving too. My husband was thinking of giving his brothers a watch each. It would be a nice keepsake for them to   read more

SPRING CLEANING OF MY CLOSET

 in  Life & Lifestyle   
Share

The days are getting warmer as we enjoy temps rising to the 50's. Days like these signal the onset of spring and what comes to mind when I anticipate spring's glory? It is a rising hope of better things and days to come. It also means spring cleaning, of course. The past autumn/winter seasons left us behind some litter and mess that we could not normally clean up because of the freezing weather. Usually, when I spring-clean I start from the interior of our house such as drapes to wash, carpets to steam, and closets to organize. Honestly, I enjoy doing the chore of cleaning and organizing   read more

In about  119 days, we are flying off to the Philippines. This is my husband's first visit so we're both excited for summer.
