Chow Down

I have been eating a lot today. I felt like I have to munch just to keep the pain away I am feeling. I am feeling so much better now that I'm on my second day of my menstruation. I ate two bowls tangy salad, peanut butter sandwich and pot roast that my husband cooked. Any minute now, I have to munch on my tangy salad I prepared last night. 

Did you ever feel the same way? When you're on PMS that you want to eat and eat? I do. I knew that my "visitor" will come soon. I wish there's a way to stop the pain without relying on pain pills to stop it because I hate taking pills. What if we should kick the men's nuts every month too so they can feel our pain?

I just joined the Lainy's Musings 3rd Blogoversary - The Gravatar Contest.

Blog Link Exchange

Places to Find PetCareRx Reviews

This is a sponsored guest post written by PetCareRx on behalf of PetCareRx . Post powered by Sponzai.

PetCareRx is an online pet pharmacy that offers medications and products at up to 50% savings over the veterinarian. Pet owners can take advantage of these savings in order to buy prescription drugs for their pets. In addition to medications, the online store also sells pet food, accessories, toys, and other pet related products. Since we are talking about a store that sells products directly related to the health of your pets, it should come as no surprise that there are a fair number of people looking for PetCareRx reviews in order to verify the legitimacy and reputation of the business. With this in mind, it is worth asking where legitimate PetCareRx reviews can be found before making any purchases.

The first place to look is directly on the company's website. A countless series of reviews left by customers is located in the testimonials section.  There are numerous amounts of testimonials left on this site that anyone has access to view. In addition to being able to view these testimonials, visitors coming to the site are free to leave their own reviews and comments.

Customers are not the only source of PetCareRx reviews, of course. By looking for the opinion of ratings agencies and certification boards, it is possible to discover the reputation that the company has built for itself in the professional realm. One of the best places to start is with the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. This organization reviews online pharmacies for their legitimacy and reputation and ensures that they only sell EPA & FDA approved medications. Vet-VIPPS is an accreditation provided by the board  that focuses specifically on veterinary pharmacies. There are only eight sources that have obtained Vet-VIPPS certification, PetCareRx being one of them.

PetzTown, a site that reviews online pet health companies, has also spoken quite favorably of the online pharmacy. They point out that all of the prescriptions on the site are approved by the FDA and EPA, the site is very easy to use, and offers some of the most competitive prices on the market. They conclude their review by saying "website has unbeatable prices and a great selection."

Recently, my friend posted in her Facebook status about how super happy she was from the results. Some of our friends made a comment about it wondering what was the results for? One friend asked if she's pregnant again. Then she explained that she and her husband are doing some workout for them to lose weight. There have been a lot of people who are struggling on losing weight and release that "muffin top" or the excess fats they have been carrying over the time.

Maybe this hcg diet plan will work for them. Losing weight is a matter of discipline, eating healthy and good food and working out.  There have been plenty of diet pills or diet meals that have been advertise over the internet and TV but do you get the results you wanted? How about hcg homeopathic drops? Forget about painful injections to lose weight and say hello to drops. You can also read about hcg drops reviews to get ideas and see what people are saying after using it. Who knows, you will be flaunting that sexy body in no time!

Pink Fridays #63

Pink is a beautiful color. Think PINK every Friday. Join Pink Fridays!

I honestly ran out of recent photos to share with color PINK in it. So I checked up some old photos from previous years and I found a lot. I didn't know that most of the time, I was wearing color PINK every time me and my friends had a get together. The photo was taken during Hayden's (the little girl with the pink dress and balloon) 1st birthday. Look at us, we are all enjoying the golf cart ride around the campground. Happy Pink Fridays everyone!

My Hubby's Day!

Today, my warmhearted and passionate husband is celebrating his birthday. On his special day, I pray for happiness, smiles and love. I pray for sunshine, for warmth and tenderness throughout in your life. I pray for countless moments of joy and laughter. I love you, my Hubby!

Shoot Me

I don't remember being shy or hiding behind the camera. Notwithstanding that I actually know how I look, I still want to be in the picture. I love taking pictures and I love to take pictures of myself too. The two photos above were taken in different places - photo on top was taken at the museum and the bottom photo was taken at the zoo. Come join Shoot Me every Thursday and share your photos to us. You'll be delighted you did!

Where is Spring?

Last Sunday, March 20th is the first day of Spring. But I couldn't see any sign of spring around me. No robins flying and chirping around, no flowers and trees blooming. Then yesterday, we had the unpleasant snowstorm. They talked about 6 to 12 inches but in reality, we got more than 12 inches. 

When we were in Texas, we can see trees such as bradford pear in bloom even before the calendar says it's spring. The seasons of winter and spring are clashing. Winter wants to stay longer and I think it's time to say goodbye to thick clothes and snow boots. 

Custom Cases

My husband got a big garage where he keeps his tools. One day, I checked the garage and it was a mess! I have to do something to make it look organized. I want to arrange everything so he can find his tools easy when he's doing some work. I checked out some durable SKB Cases which he can use in storing and organize the tools. That way, he knows where to find them. At SKB is a brand built on quality and durability with more than three (3) decades of industry experience. SKB Case are engineered to protect your equipment. Whatever things you put in it, it is guaranteed a full protection.

Just Beautiful #8

Join the fun every Wednesday at Thoughts Online where you can post your beautiful photo and share it online. Join us here and show the world wide web what you got.

It has been ten (10) days after that unpleasant blizzard that we're not expecting to happened. Then yesterday, we got the snowstorm all day and all night. The last time I checked my calendar, March 20th is the first day of Spring. According to reality, where I am right now, Spring hasn't sprung.

Just look at the beautiful pictures I posted, the snow wasn't too bad at all. In spite of the fact that it's the clash of the season, the beauty of white is surprising!

Made Just For You

When we bought a new home down south, we made sure that we'll get the best blinds we could ever find in the store. Window blinds gives fashion to your home and gives your privacy from the people who want to snoop around outside. By shopping to different stores, we finally found the perfect window blinds for our new home. 

Then I found out that my friend renovated their house last winter because there's an addition to their family - a new baby boy! She told me some ideas for their baby's room and I want her to know about roller blinds that she can put to her kid's bedroom. It will add beauty and at the same time, it will create a cozy and inviting room for her kids. 

Snow, Snow, Snow

It's the clash of the season! Apparently, we're getting about 6 to 12 inches of snow today and tomorrow. I am wishing that this will the last snowstorm we will get for the first week. I woke up this morning with the sound of wind hitting the window and the rain showers started. I took the photo minutes earlier when the snow first started to fall. We keep getting some snow every week but I am looking for the spring season. I guess, we have to wait until the day will come to see the trees will start blooming, the snow geese flying back north and the robin playing in the trees while chirping. I haven't seen one yet.

Tibetan Singing Bowls

For some people, they perform yoga to relieve stress or anxiety. A part of which they control their breathing, to meditate or simply to feel the relaxation they need. Some people will listen to soft music to alleviate negative vibes, loosen up and calm down the nervous system. The indigenous people of Tibet made tibetan singing bowls used for spiritual traditions, meditation, music, relaxation, personal well-being and religious practice. It also help facilitate group activities to get people's attention. 

Mellow Yellow Monday - Borderline

Is it Monday yet? Well, that was fast! Welcome to Mellow Yellow Monday! As they say, the world is amazing with a dash of color yellow.

While strolling at the park one day

I miss the beauty of Hawaii. Two years ago, my husband and I decided to spend our winter time (2008 and 2009) in Hawaii. We were so amazed how small islands can offer such beauty to everybody. Everything was so inviting and grandeur. There's plenty of things to do so you won't get bored - from walking to park, fishing, watching the waves or just be delighted with the scenery.

I'm Stuffed!

It's another day to thank the Lord for a wonderful day. It was hazy this morning but it didn't stop me from going to church. The priest's sermon was nice and heartwarming. I just wished that there will be more people who will come to God and served Him faithfully. It was good to see some friends at church today. They're happy to see us back in the winter wonderland (it will be spring time soon).

When I came home from church today, I ate pancakes and sausages for brunch then at 5PM, we went to Pizza Ranch for the mini party. I started with the salad with raspberry and vinaigrette dressing. I gobbled up some pizza (pepperoni, tomato & spinach and chicken buffalo) and chicken. The chicken was really good. In fact, it was the best fried chicken in town (according to me). The food was great and so as the people in the party. 

After the party, we went to attend the mission at our church for lent. There were lots of people who attended the mission. It was nice to see new faces and meet them during the introduction. It was nice to hear someone's experiences during the sermon and it was amusing to participate during the ribbon binding. After the mission, we were invited for a punch and muffins. I am so stuffed!

Skywatch Friday - Snow Shine

I wasn't able to post this yesterday - Friday because I have been out and about. Sorry for the late posting.  Share your photos and join the other Skywatchers every Friday.

The last time I checked the temperature was 39 degrees (Fahrenheit). It was a little cold. The wind's blowing but it wasn't that bad. I took the photo above last week. The weather is really nice, a little chilly but the good thing about was the sun is shining!

Pink Fridays #62

I missed last week's Pink Fridays. But I am back now. Pink is a beautiful color. Think PINK every Friday. Join Pink Fridays!

Pink is one of my favorite colors. You can see a lot of color pink in my closet. From head to toe, pink is everywhere. Today, I want to share this photo which was taken last November when we went for a train ride with our friends. Normally, if there's a party, event or if we're going somewhere, I plan what to wear. From the color of my make-up, shoes to wear and the accessories to accentuate my outfit. I so love Pink!

I'm a Couch Potato

Photo not mine

Aside from blogging, I watch TV a lot. My husband is the same. We watch anything on TV - news, entertainment, game shows, western shows, science fiction, reality shows, horror, comedy, love and romance movies. If we find it interesting, we will watch it. But somehow, I miss watching Philippine telenovelas, showbiz entertainment, comedy and drama shows. 

Since we didn't subscribe to any Filipino channel, I found a way where I can watch them. It feels so good when you're able to watch the shows. It's not just about watching them, it's about learning, getting updated and feeling the drama about life. Something to look forward to everyday because you don't want to miss any shows. As of the moment, I am enjoying watching Mara Clara, Green Rose, Mutya and Magic Palayok. 

Just Beautiful #7 - White Trees

Get ready and dig out your beautiful snapshots! Share it at Just Beautiful! We all like taking good pictures, whatever object it is, we take time to take it. Join us every Wednesday!

Look at the beautiful trees. They're all covered with snow. I took this picture while traveling back to North Dakota. Feels like in winter wonderland where you enjoy winter activities. So, who says white is bare, unembellished, naked and empty? In God's creation, everything is beautiful! 

TCP #82: Doubt

I am back again at Tuesday Couch Potatoes. It has been a while since I last shared. Today's theme is Movies with Best Actress Awards. So here we go!

Remember the famous characters of Miranda Priestly, Janine Roth and Donna Sheridan? What about Sister Aloysius Beauvier? They were all played by one of my favorite actresses - Meryl Streep. She's the strict principal of Bronx Catholic school and has observed the unusual behavior of a popular priest, Father Flynn.

The film Doubt is a 2008 film adaptation of John Patrick's Shanley. It was set in 1964 at a Catholic church in the Bronx, New York. At first, I thought the movie was boring, dark and dull but as I went on, I fully understand the movie. Sister Aloysius questioned and demands the truth from Father Flynn about the illicit relationship with a troubled altar boy named Donald. 

At the end, Sister Aloysius says that "In the pursuit of wrongdoing, one steps away from God." So this reminded me of something greater about my life if ever I will do something wrong, I am putting distance from God.

Tuesday Couch Potatoes - where we blog about our favorite movies each week.

Mellow Yellow Monday #112

It has been a while since I joined Mellow Yellow Monday. I stopped blogging for a while and now I am back. Yellow is one of my favorite colors. Indeed, the world is always better with splash of yellow.

Two Fridays ago, we went to an Asian restaurant where they served different Asian cuisines - Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese to name a few. It was good. I was always the fan of Thai food. The restaurant is new, clean and nice. They painted the fence and the whole building into a color yellow. Normally, during the warm weather, there's tables and chairs with umbrellas outside for people who wants to dine out. I will definitely go back there when my taste buds started to crave for Thai food.

Concert Tickets

I can easily count how many times I have been in a concert show. I can still remember the first concert I watched with my high school buddies. It was awesome! I have to inform my friends where to get Linkin park tickets to watch their show. I can still remember what song was playing on the radio because it was a hit. 

If you want to hear a different genre, such as funk, rock, R&B, or new wave maybe you can also look up for Prince Tickets. Prince is one of the most talented and commercially successful pop musicians of the last 20 years.

I think I recently heard Rod Stewart song when one of the contestants of American Idol performed it on stage. I am just not sure what's the title. So if you are into rock, pop, blues rock and blue-eyed soul, Check out Rod Stewart Tickets and enjoy the sound of wonderful melody. Check out Ticketamerica.com for all the shows.

Are You a Mirror or a Window?

You Are a Window

You are a truly extroverted person. 

Your life feels empty without lots of people in it.

Being around others makes you feel joyful. 

Friends and family bring meaning to your life.

And even if you're all alone, 

you prefer to be people watching out in public.

You are a cheerful and eager participant in the world. 

You are full of delight and wonder.

Are You a Mirror or a Window?

Freebies and All

They said, there's no more free in this world. Where ever you go, you have to pay the price if you want it. But they are wrong! You can still get free samples if you just know where to look. Once you find it, grab it right away!

Spring Break!

It's the time of the year where everyone is on Spring Break vacation. Get a little splash on the beach, sun-bathing, get a little sun-kissed and for some, enjoying a one-week break from school. How cool is that? So, who's ready for the Spring? I am!

Pink Fridays - Pink Shirt

My second time to join Pink Fridays! I just noticed that I have been posting photos of my recent trip to Florida. I have been sharing the same photo over and over which I might say not a good thing to do. I know the readers would want to see something new, something attractive and interesting.

Here's a photo of my friend - Leny and her little girl - Jasmine. It has been over 4 years since we've seen each other, and when we met for the first time here in United States, she introduced me to her lovely princess. Her name is Jasmine, just like her mom, her favorite color is PINK! It's a lovely color!

American Idol 10

Were you able to watch the performance of the guys last Tuesday? How about the girl's performance yesterday? The top 12 guys rocked the stage and the top 12 girls had their chance to shine! Who did you pick? Tonight, the finalist were announced! Who will make it to the next American Idol season 10?

My personal choice was in and she's good! I think she can rock the stage and give it all - Lauren Alaina. Thia Megia's performance was remarkable but I think she lacks the facial expression and her emotions are flat. Just like Julie Zorilla (not my favorite though) who lacks the emotional connection while singing the song - Breakaway. She messed up the song big time! Lastly, Pia Toscano was the total package. She's beautiful and she can sing. I think I like her. So we'll see next week if she can bring it. How about you guys? Who do you love to stay?

The New iPad2!

Who wants an iPad 2? I do! I guess everyone's dreaming to own the new iPad 2. I watched the news yesterday about the launch of the new iPad 2. I immediately updated my Facebook status about how I love to own an iPad 2 - "It's thinner, lighter and faster than ever. Full of great ideas. I love it!" I even watched the video from their website and it has a lot to offer. You can see every action in it. It will be available on March 11. I am excited for this new gadget!

Too Much To Handle

I don't know why I wrote that title for this post. It just came out of nowhere. It wasn't planned nor just an impromptu. I don't want to think that my own fingers has their own mind. That's really creepy to think! I was thinking to finish my packing so not to end up cramming when the time comes we are ready to leave.

I still have to sort things out around the house so it will not be messy when we are gone. I still have to do the laundry, clean the refrigerator, clean the bathrooms - in short, clean the whole house! I still have more time to do all those things. All I have to do is take one domestic work at a time. It's a routine task for a domestic goddess like me.

I have to go and take that one step.

Benefits of Purchasing a Total Protect Home Warranty

This is a sponsored guest post written by Cross Country Home Services on behalf of Cross Country Home Services. Post powered by Sponzai.

The Total Protect Home Warranty offered by insurance carriers provides many benefits for homeowners. Along with the coverage provided to repair major appliances if they break down, members can also receive access to a special discount appliance buyers club. Anytime a homeowner researches purchasing an upgraded appliance for their home, they can contact the Appliance Buy Line Discount Buying Service to receive up to 30% off the suggested retail price of their new appliance. This service includes major name brands for all major home appliances.

In addition to purchase discounts for new appliances, the warranty service provides repair coverage for all major appliances in a home, normally regardless of brand or age of the appliance. This coverage usually includes plumbing systems, electrical systems, heating and cooling systems, ceiling fans, garbage disposals, dishwashers, washers and dryers, stoves and ranges and built in microwaves. Actual coverage limits can vary by state and provider; however, the cost of the coverage can be thousands less than paying for repairs without the coverage. All the covered appliances are the major appliances homeowners use the most, and usually use on a daily basis. The premium cost of covering these major appliances can make the difference between a day or two without air conditioning or heating and trying to scratch up the hundreds to thousands to have the unit repaired or replaced. The benefits well outweigh the cost of the premium, making repair protection an excellent addition to the traditional homeowners insurance policy.

Go MARCHing in

We bid goodbye to February and here comes a new beginning, another month to enjoy - March. Thinking what happened to the month of February. Of course, everybody felt February brought love and joy to their lives. I wonder why time flies so fast. Was it just me or just because the month of February has 28 days to fulfill? What really happened to me in the month of February? Well, I celebrated love and friendship during the whole month. I get to see my long time friends in Florida and we had fun. My dreams came true when I visited Disney World Magic Kingdom and the beaches in Florida is really beautiful!

Now, it's time to face another month. That means to say, paying our bills on time, keeping straight on our budget, maybe a well-planned short trip along the way and getting back to work as early as possible. Oh yeah, I will be coming back to work soon plus my husband's birthday is coming up. How about you guys? How do you keep track your plan in a month? What do you do to sort things out and maintained a balance life?
