I want to share something from my inbox. Something that I need to seriously read and understand. In this day and age, with all the preservatives and kind of lifestyle we have, these should come into the picture and be part of our daily food intake.

Paris, France

Just a few days ago, a very close friend of mine told me that she and her common-law partner are going on a vacation to Paris, France. Woah! The envy mode in me has been switched on. LOL! Touring Paris is included in my bucket list. I know someday, I will be visiting that place. I claim it!!!

Today, I am helping them look for a budget-friendly place to stay. I want to send them links to the best luxury apartments Paris. Haha! I can now imagine her scolding me and telling me that I am of no help to them. I wish I could find one that would be near food stalls, tourist spots, and picturesque locations so they could save money from riding a bus or a cab.

The Louvre, Mona Lisa, Eiffel Tower, etc..., I will see you someday, too!

Merry Month of May

Yay, I love the title of this blog post. Shouldn't we all be merry that May has come? Whenever I think of the month of May, I imagine colorful flowers, bright and beautiful. I also imagine the cool, summer breeze, food and so many festivities. I even picture the letters MAY written in bold fonts, painted in neon pink! LOL, you think I'm weird? Ahaha!

We're now into the 5th month of the year. And in a breeze, it's December once again. Yaiks! Another year older for me. What are your fond memories of  month of May? I remember weddings and imagine cute trinkets. Oh now I remember, my best friend and I use to make cherry/sakura blossoms out of our pink and brown crepe paper. And decorate them up with string lights for wedding Haha!

Memories... Now, I am sad. Terribly sad. Tomorrow marks her 10th. Yes, my  bestfriend's 10th. 10th Death anniversary. I miss her so much....

 Gotta end. I shouldn't end up with tears now. I'm at work, arrgh!!!

Something worth sharing

I want to share this quote from Daily Inspiration:

"Problems are nothing but wake-up calls for creativity."

Gerhard Gschwandtner - Author, sales leadership

Do your shoulders feel heavy from life's burdens? Do you wake up in the morning dreading what problems the new day might bring? When our thoughts are focused on the heaviness of the problem, we wear mind blinders that block out the many creative solutions for the problem. Notice your mind's focus. Ban worrying. Take off the blinders. Seek creative solutions. Begin the beauty of looking to your creator, the King of creativity.
_

Remember, we all face challenges as we go from day to day. And we will continue to face all these trials for as long as we live. My solution: PRAY, SMILE, and chant THIS TOO SHALL PASS. Try not to dwell on the problem. Instead of sulking in it, find a solution. Find a plan on how to deal and overcome it.

Happy Saturday! Smile.

Summer Rain

Rain! Yes, it is raining. No need to water the plants tonight. I think that the amount of rainfall is enough to quench the thirst my plants need. Happy it rained, but it just made the air a lot more humid. Arrrghh!

So, i have been cleaning all day. Well, not actually all day coz I took a power nap and watched tv for about an hour. The day is about to end, and I think I have to end this too. Need to continue tomorrow. Got a lot more items to tick off my checklist. Tomorrow's agenda: bathrooms and backyard.

Whew!

Spring Cleaning Time

Yipee, 3 days off from work starts right now! I could have made plans to go somewhere else to relax, but NO. I choose to stay at home and do some thorough cleaning. Other people from different parts of the world call it spring cleaning, I call it General Cleaning.

I think now is the perfect time to clean the house from top to bottom, left to right, round and round. Throw out old stuff, rearrange furniture, etcetera, etc. Too bad, I am using vertical blinds instead of curtains. It would be nice to have burlap curtains at burlap-tablecloth, no? I recently saw pictures online and it looked nice. But I think it would not be a good idea to have those type of fabric with the kind of weather
we have here. LOL!

Now, I need a checklist. And I am fortunate enough to land on Kelly's blog, The Complete Guide to Imperfect Homemaking. Boy,she has a loooong list. Long but detailed. I LIKE!

I should get ready for bed now. Tomorrow's gonna be a long and tiring day. Fulfillment follows. Good night!

They strike again...



Oh yes! These fraudsters strike back. It has been quite a long time since I last received one. And if my memory serves me right, I got a similar message back in Oct or Nov 2012. Ayayay! If these messages we real, I would have enough money to renovate my kitchen, buy a second hand car, or maybe have enough cash to travel abroad. Lol!

Back in 2012, I remember replying to one of the sms messages I received back then saying thank you and requesting them to call. Haha. Patol?!??! They didn't even call nor replied. Grrr... Lol!

Seriously, do these people think they'd be able to fool others at this day and age?
