End of NaNoBlogMo

Tuesday, November 30th, 2004

I wanted to write an entry per day for the month of November with a minimum of 15,000 words. Sadly, not counting this entry or titles, I only wrote 12,489 words, some of which were actually other articles. I did make 30 (now 31) posts. Still I will give myself 10,000 words for the month, meaning that at this pace, I could write a novel in 5 to 6 months. Good to know. Maybe I’ll do it for real next year. Yes. Yes, I will.

10 Rules of a Southern Belle

Monday, November 29th, 2004

I found this link in my referrer logs (an artifact of Blogger’s odd “Next Blog” feature, I imagine) and read it and dear god, this is brilliant. These 10 items are more guidelines than rules, but this woman so completely understands men that her code of behaviour will lead to the utter and willing domination of all men. I think this woman should give classes in how to completely subvert the will of any man you choose to be with.

She doesn’t do it by overtly controlling any aspect of the relationship, only by so controlling her own behaviour that any man would willingly do anything she asked. Ladies, this is how you get your man to behave himself. Be a woman and treat him like a man. The core precept of this list is “You get more flies with honey than with vinegar,” and it ends with one of the truest statements I have ever heard:

“Women judge love by how the man makes them feel. If he makes us feel all mushy and giddy with butterflies the size of rabbits in our tummy, it’s love. For a man, it’s not how he feels about you that grabs his attention…it’s how he feels about himself when he’s around you. If being around you makes him feel like the man he wants to be, then he will love you forever.”

Well, that’s one more addition to my blogroll.

November 29, 1947 – November 29, 2004

Monday, November 29th, 2004

This BlogBurst piece is cross-posted by participating websites, to commemorate a milestone in Israel’s history. The list of the participating sites is appended at israpundit’s original post.

November 29, 2004:

Anniversary of the UN vote on Resolution 181

Today is the anniversary of the UN vote on resolution 181, which approved the partition of the western part Palestine into a predominately Jewish state and a predominately Arab state. (It is vital to recall that the UN partition plan referred to western Palestine, to underscore that in 1921 the eastern part was ripped off the Jewish National Home by the British Government and handed over to the then Emir Abdullah.)

The partition plan was approved by 33 to 13, with 10 abstentions.

The 33 countries that cast the “Yes” vote were: Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Byelorussia, Canada, Costa Rica, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Guatemala, Haiti, Iceland, Liberia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Sweden, Ukraine, Union of South Africa, USSR, USA, Uruguay, Venezuela. (Among other countries, the list includes the US, the three British Dominions, all the European countries except for Greece and the UK, but including all the Soviet-block countries.)

The 13 countries that chose the Hall of Shame and voted “No” were: Afghanistan, Cuba, Egypt, Greece, India, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Yemen. (Ten of these are Moslem countries; Greece has the special distinction of being the only European country to have joined the Hall of Shame.)

The ten countries that abstained are: Argentina, Chile, China, Colombia, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Honduras, Mexico, United Kingdom, Yugoslavia.

On November 30, 1947, the day following the vote, the Palestinian Arabs murdered six Jews in a bus making its way to Jerusalem, and proceeded to murder another Jew in the Tel-Aviv – Jaffa area. This was a prelude to a war that claimed the lives of 6,000 Jews, or 1% of the total Jewish population in 1948. This toll is the per capita equivalent of today’s Canada losing 300,000 lives, or the US losing 3,000,000.

The object of the war, launched by the Arabs in the former Palestine and the armies of Egypt, Transjordan, Syria and Lebanon (with help from other Arab countries), was to “throw the Jews into the sea”. As the partition map indicates, however, rather than annihilate the Jewish population, the Arabs ended up with less territory than they would have gained by peaceful means.

In addition to the bloodshed in nascent Israel, immediately after the UN vote, Arabs attacks their Jewish neighbours in a number of Arab countries, the murders in Syria’s Aleppo being the best known.

Bruised and bleeding, Israel prevailed nonetheless. May our sister-democracy thrive and flourish.

I post this because Israel is the one nation truly beset on all sides by terrorism and is daily shown her enemies’ desire to eradicate her from the face of the earth. Israelis understand that choosing not to fight in the face of evil is a choice to die. Ending Islamofascist terrorism is not easy or pretty, but it is necessary. America has been a steadfast ally of Israel, even though we were at times misguided enough to believe a peaceful resolution was possible with Arafat (we were wrong). I hope that America is ever the beacon of hope for Israel to cling to. I hope that our efforts to protect her are as steady and strong as our efforts to protect ourselves.

Thanksgiving is on Thursday (how unusual) and I was feeling reflective as a result. So since blogs are vanity publishing I thought I’d turn away from the politics of this blog (in which my interest has temporarily ebbed as I scramble hither and yon in preparation for the holidays and end-of-year at work) and focus instead on what I have to be thankful for.

A little background. Growing up, I was utterly and completely convinced that I was going to die at 22. Part of this stems from the fact that my mother died when she was 22 (I was 3 and half, barely older than my elder daughter) and that she reportedly knew that she was going to die very young and in a fire, both of which happened. At any rate, I presume that was a contributing factor in my paranoia, but there are others, I’m sure, but I don’t want to get into speculation on that. This put quite a damper on any future plans I made, since, after all, I wouldn’t really be around to enjoy them. I met the woman who is now my wife when I was 16 (she was 17) and we were in high school. We dated for nearly two years and even after breaking up, were still quite close. We did eventually get married (otherwise she wouldn’t be my wife, eh?) two days after I turned 22. She knew of my paranoia, but decided she would rather have one year as my wife than never be married to me at all.

At 22 I married the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I swore my love for her that day could never be eclipsed, and then it was, time after time, day after day. I am thankful for Carrie, for her deigning to share her life with me.

At 23, I first became a father to Audrey Koren. She has brought more joy and purpose to my life than any self-help book. Watching her learn and grow has been an experience unlike any other. She has given me a new pair of eyes to view the world. Everything she learns, I learn anew. I love her and I am thankful that she is ours.

At 24, I was hired by the company I was under contract to and began my first non-contract work in over a year. Permanent employment was a blessing I had hoped for, but could not ask for (under the terms of my contract). It provided the stability and confidence I needed to be the father and husband I needed to be. I am thankful to be employed in such a vibrant economy.

At 25, I became a father again, to Madelyn Rose. She is now a year old and much to my surprise, everything I learned with Audrey, I have again learned through Madelyn’s very different perspective. She has been a wonder and sheer pleasure. She is as different in disposition from Audrey as she is alike her in appearance. She is far more exploratory and brave than Audrey was, taking more risks and getting into more than her big sister did, which only complicates her mother and father’s lives since they now have a 3 year old and a more curious one year old with contend with at the same time. I mean that in the very best way. I am thankful for Madelyn, for her spirit and her curiosity.

I have watched the two of them lay the groundwork for the tight bond they will share later. I have observed that there are few more iron-clad but confounding relationships than sisterhood. They fight, argue, love, play and learn together. I am thankful for their love in each other.

At 26, my big event hasn’t happened yet (I don’t think – geez, I hope it wasn’t the election, there’s still 9 months to go), but fatherhood has taught me patience, and the year is still young, so I am ready.

These last four years are years I never expected to have. They have been the best years of my life and there aren’t any indications of it letting up. I am thankful for the gifts I have, the people who surrounded, the family who loves me, the country I live in, the brave men and women who fight and die that me and mine can live as we wish, for the opportunities I am daily given, even if I don’t always take advantage of them. I am the luckiest man in the world and I defy you to prove otherwise.

This Thanksgiving, take the time to be thankful for all of your gifts and blessings. If, unlike me, you are religious, then pay special thanks to your deity for allowing you to live here and now.

Happy Thanksgiving and may your next year be a Catastrophic Success (with the emphasis on the Success).

I just added Billiken’s Bluff to my feed list. They have an interesting little group over there. There are multiple posters, and I tend to agree with N-Dot more often than not, but the other posters seem to have good heads on their shoulders too.

N-Dot’s Most recent entry is quite good and gives a new perspective on the way Jaques Chirac views international relations, in light of his remarks to Tony Blair that: “Well, Britain gave its support, but I did not see much in return. I am not sure that it is in the nature of our American friends at the moment to return favors systematically.”

The point is that Chirac can not understand why any country would support any other country unless they were receiving tangible favors in return. A shared value system and protection of a shared way of life are beyond his ken.

N-Dot then goes on to show how that crazy isolationist George Washington kind of knew what he was talking about way back when. (You mean the wisdom of the past may apply to the present? Shut up!)

EU Values

Friday, November 19th, 2004

European Union justice and interior ministers agreed Friday that new immigrants to the 25-nation bloc should be required to learn local languages, and to adhere to general “European values” that will guide them toward better integration.

European Values? Like this?

Other interesting tidbits today:

Missing link found?

A nearly 13 million-year-old ape discovered in Spain is the last probable common ancestor to all living humans and great apes, a research team says in Friday’s issue of Science magazine.

A husband-and-wife team of fossil sleuths unearthed an animal with a body like an ape, fingers like a chimp and the upright posture of humans. The ancient ape bridges the gap between earlier, primitive animals and later, modern creatures.

Matchmaker Liable for Bad Marriage. In other news, Cupid Hangs up Bow and Arrow and Santa Sued for Giving Boring Toy.

UN staff to vote on no-confidence motion against Annan. They’ve got my vote! Seriously, though, I don’t understand if a No-Confidence vote from the UN Staff can actually remove him from office. I think the General Assembly would have to do so, but this at least shows his unpopularity amongst those who work for him.

Kerry blames Osama. For stealing the election from him. Honestly, what does it say about the confidence the American people have in you when they entered the voting booth with national security on their mind, as you say, and chose your opponent? UPDATE: Best of the Web used the same headline for this story as me! It’s not at all a big deal. They surely got the story from Drudge like me, and how many ways can you headline this story? It’s just neat is all. And LGF uses the exact same headline! Squee!

Greeks say Alexander was NOT bi-sexual. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Really? Are you kidding me with this?

Friday, November 19th, 2004

“Comparing pornography to heroin, researchers on Thursday called on Congress to finance studies on “porn addiction” and launch a public health campaign about the dangers.

“Internet pornography is corrupting children and hooking adults into an addiction that threatens their jobs and families, a panel of anti-porn advocates told the hearing organized by Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., chairman of the Commerce subcommittee on science.”

Just say no to Pr0n!

“Mary Anne Layden, co-director of a sexual trauma program at the University of Pennsylvania, said pornography’s effect on the brain mirrors addiction to heroin or crack cocaine. She told of one patient, a business executive, who arrived at his office at 9 a.m. each day, logged onto Internet porn sites, and didn’t log off until 5 p.m.

Layden called for billboards and bus ads warning people to avoid pornography, strip clubs and prostitutes.”

There is not a single reference to personal responsibility in this entire article. Instead, just like foul-language and violence on television, this image is purveyed of Cheney-esque fatcats in a smoky room plotting and planning the best way to “corrupt the children” and turn them into mindless zombies incapable of resisting the allure of the “evil, vile pronographers!” There is not a single moment given to the possibility that maybe, just maybe, a rational adult can chance across a pornographic advertisement or spam and NOT be reduced to a drooling puddle of testosterone ready to rip, rape and tear through society. “The titties told me to rape!” Bullshit.

Personally, I am not a big porn guy. I could take it or leave, but I have seen it, and I do come across it in my travels through cyberspace, and I don’t objectify women any more than any other sexually healthy male. I don’t run rampant at night sexually assaulting any woman I see. I have sexual urges, of course, and those are satisfied by my wife, myself or my imagination. It is ridiculous to assume that a chance porn-sighting will forever corrupt our children and irreversibly turn our culture into a cesspool incapable of decency and subjugating base instincts. We are rational beings. Passionate, yes, but rational all the same. We use the power of our minds to make decisions every single day. Just as I can watch football and not tackle the first person I see, play Halo or Grand Theft Auto and not shoot the first person I see, I can see a picture of a naked woman and not screw the first person I see.

I understand that a boundary must be erected between adult material and children. I agree. It is, however, the responsibility of the parents to guard that wall, not society. Every brick of that wall that is assumed by society absolves parents of that responsibility. And its a cumulative process. The more responsibility for rearing children that is taken by society, the easier it is to justify removing more and more responsibility from parents. I have two young daughters and I monitor closely what they see and hear. That is my job as their father. I also encourage an environment of learning and questioning. When my elder daughter (3 years old tomorrow) wants to know something, or doesn’t understand something, she asks. So far, the subject matter has been pretty tame, but tricky stuff does come up (“What is heaven?” after hearing the word in the “Knick-Knack Paddy-Whack” song) and stronger questions will come up in the future. I’m sure that the issue of sex and porn will come up. When it does, it is my responsibility to explain it in ways that allow her to assimilate the information in such a way that she can healthily deal with porn-spam if she should ever see it.

As parents, our ONLY job is to prepare our children to be functional (at least) and productive (we hope) members of society. That means instilling the mores and values that continue that society. It also means preparing them for the times they encounter the less pleasing or less visible elements of society. That means everything from how to avoid being a victim to self-defense to how to safely own and operate a gun, car and computer to seeing violence and sexual content in the media. If we accept as true that our children can be corrupted by a salacious image they may only see for a moment, we might as well give up on parenting and turn our children over to state-run indoctrination centers that will program them to be happy little robotic servants of the state subject to the whims and desire of their basest instincts and just hand in the keys to the kingdom we have guarded these past 229 years. At that point society can no longer function because there is no one to run it. There will be those who can use their brains and it is they who will become the rulers deciding what will be programmed into our little child-bots.

Beware the path of protection in the name of the children. To quote Terry Goodkind, “lightning awaits you down that path.” When you remove the expectation of personal responsibility, then no one is accountable for their own actions and that only benefits the natural dictatorial tendencies of the government, because who else will make those moral decisions you don’t want to bother yourself with?

Carolyn Parrish has been thrown out of the Liberal caucus by Prime Minister Paul Martin, who said Thursday that her behaviour had become “unacceptable.”

According to the one Canadian with whom I am familiar, the government is perilously close to falling because the Liberal Party and New Democratic Party Coalition’s now two vote deficit. A straight-party no-confidence vote would bring a 153 to 153 vote tie leaving two independents (Parrish being one of them) to determine the outcome. It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out. President Bush is scheduled to visit Ottawa later this year. I wonder if a new government will arise in the meantime.

Paul Wells makees a point in his post about her that makes my earlier whining about the left just more indicative of my Americentrism (hey, I own it!). She does drink the Left’s kool-aid though.

(It is, though, odd to call her and some other Bush critics “anti-American”; she never had a cross word to say about the Yankees until the Democrats lost the White House. She has a party she prefers when it comes to forming the government of the U.S., just as Mr. Bush has a party he prefers when it comes to forming the government of, say, Spain. He stated his own preference; she stated hers. It is a measure of her perverse genius that she managed to make Bush look elegant by comparison.)

To be honest, she was probably dismissed more for her outright flouting of Prime Minister Paul Martin’s authority than for her statements and actions against the President. Still, I take a little pleasure in seeing her taken to task for her insubordination if nothing else.

Wells again:

And now we come to day’s most richly entertaining lesson. No prime minister can tolerate a display of open contempt from somebody who is supposed to be a member of his team. The proper response to such behaviour is dismissal. Paul Martin reached that inevitable conclusion today.

Also, for my American readers, a good resource on how the Westminster System of Parliament works can be found here and here. This is the system of governance used in most of the Commonwealth countries and/or the Anglosphere members.

Canadian MP Teaches Love and Understanding

Thursday, November 18th, 2004

Outspokenly Liberal Canadian MP Stomps Bush.

“OTTAWA – Renegade Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish has once again enraged members of the opposition and her own caucus after tossing a George W. Bush doll on the floor and grinding it under her heel on a satirical television show.

Incensed Conservative MPs demanded that Ms. Parrish — who last year referred to Americans as “bastards” and more recently likened the U.S. war effort in Iraq to “a coalition of the idiots” — be banished from the Liberal caucus for her anti-American outburst.”

If only we would listen to the liberals in both of our countries and just let go of our hate!

It appears to have caused a stir though, so perhaps, not all Canadians have bought into this liberal mentality of “Hate is bad. Unless you hate Conservatives and GW Bush.”

Ontario Liberal MP Roger Gallaway called the stunt “bizarre and stupid,” and lamented Ms. Parrish’s theatrics as “a rather perverse joke.”

“It’s a pathetic spectacle that someone would behave in this fashion. I would expect more from infants. It’s rotten timing … and I would hope that she would consider mending her ways,” said Mr. Gallaway, who nonetheless argued against bouncing Ms. Parrish, a four-term MP who represents the Toronto-area constituency of Mississauga-Erindale.

“I have a fundamental problem with removing someone from caucus because they’re being bizarre and stupid. This place allows all kinds of bizarre and stupid behaviour. Stupidity is a defence here,” he said.

Stupidity may be a defense, but it should also be painful.

I know that what is going to happen is that there will be an outcry from the left about how everyone’s making “such a big deal out of nothing” because they find it funny. Its always OK to pick on Republicans and fat people. Because its funny. What would the hue and cry be like if a Tory had ground a Bill Clinton Doll or a Paul Martin Doll (can anyone find me a link for this)?

I’m a little sick of the measure of your hipness being determined by how wittily you can besmirch the President of the United States. Do you remember how the Left cried out for respect of the President of the United States when they were valiantly struggling against the Clinton-hater members of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy? Where is that respect today?

The Left has never cared about the office of the President, only that they controlled it. Heaven forbid a Republican get in the White House, and even worse, makes effective use of the bully pulpit! The only use the Left has for the Presidency is the ability to make appointments in the bureaucracy and the judiciary. They have no understanding of the necessity for the Commander-in-Chief powers and woe betide the President who exercises them.

It’s sad that it doesn’t matter what George Bush does, he is going to be villified. I admire his efforts to reach across the aisle when possible, and I have to admit that I don’t think I could continue to do so in the face of such hatred. I don’t know that I am man enough to face that fray every single day. I am glad that George W. Bush is man enough and that he continues to try. I am glad he’s our President and I hope that he can withstand the hatred for four more years. The mid-term elections of ’06 could go a long way toward reinforcing his bulwarks, so its time to start looking ahead. Maybe we can increase the conservative majority in both Houses again, and further confound the Canadians and Europeans. I can’t wait.

Macy Miller sets Class AA scoring record with 49 in Kernel win

SPEARFISH -- Macy Miller broke the Class AA girls' baskeball single-game scoring record Saturday in Spearfish.

The senior guard scored 49 points on 15-of-29 shooting from the field and finished 19-of-21 from the free-throw line in No. 2 Mitchell's 77-66 win over the Spartans. The South Dakota State University commit added 12 rebounds, seven steals and five assists.

“At first I was a little nervous. I didn't want to come out sluggish,” Miller said. “I just came out aggressive and just kept taking it to the basket."

Huron's Ruth Nelson held the previous record with 46 points.

Miller's 49 broke the school record for scoring in a single game for the second time in eight days after scoring 43 in a win over Yankton on Jan. 31. Jenna Hoffman set the Kernel record with 34 points in a single game in 2003.

Miller went to the free-throw line late in the fourth quarter with a chance to hit 50 points after a technical foul was called against the Spearfish coach, but after making her first attempt, she missed the second and finished with 49.

"I really didn't think about it during the game," Miller said, referring to the scoring record. "I just kept trying to get that W for us, and just kept trying to take it to the basket."

Taylor Volesky added 16 points for the Kernels in the win.

Mitchell (15-1) now sits atop Class AA with 44.63 seed points after No. 1 Sioux Falls Washington fell to Sioux Falls O'Gorman on Friday.

The Kernels return to Eastern South Dakota Conference action against Huron Tuesday in Huron. Spearfish (11-3) plays Belle Fourche Thursday in Spearfish.

Kisi Introduces a Complete Redesign of Door Access Control Systems -- Kisi has engineered a new physical access control system to give the right people, the right authorized access.
March 16, 2017 -- Kisi Inc., the leading manufacturer of commercial access control technologies, today introduced Kisi Pro, a streamlined way for businesses to manage authorized access and monitor physical security. Kisi engineers have completely redesigned door keycard systems; a technology developed in the 1980s that has not seen much innovation since. The system offers centralized key management software, a powerful new door controller which is capable of connecting to all building doors, and a patented new proximity reader compatible with mobile and key card credentials. Kisi Pro is now available in the United States, Canada, UK, and Australia.

"When we looked under the microscope at physical access control systems, we realized how fragmented and outdated they were. Our vision for Kisi was to develop a unified, modern, and more secure system that creates a better experience for both administrators and key holders. And that’s precisely what we've done," said Bernhard Mehl, Co-Founder of Kisi. "We're proud to stand behind our product from our assembly line all the way to securely unlocking your door from our app or our new NFC key card technology."

Reliable & Powerful Door Control

The K-8000 door controller features a new board that creates a reliable connection to the cloud. The device also tracks exits in Kisi Analytics, allows managers to see whether their doors are open or closed from anywhere, and is equipped with power inputs and outputs to streamline installations, making servicing the device simpler and quicker than ever. Controllers are connected to the cloud by ElectricImp chips known for their efficient IoT connection, high security, and seamless scalability.

An Awesome Access Experience

New Kisi Passes provide an awesome and secure access solution that is easy to use for everyone in the office. The key cards come equipped with NFC, a protocol which provides a more secure communication than RFID which is used for most badges and key cards today.

"Before, an office manager would have to track down key cards, RFID tags, traditional keys, and even manage mobile passes," explains Kyle Milley, Operations Manager at Kisi. "Now all those keys can be organized, provisioned, and de-provisioned in one central software."

Coming later this year, the Kisi Pro Proximity Reader 2.0 will read the new NFC Kisi Passes as well as the Kisi Mobile Bluetooth Credentials. The updated Proximity Reader will connect via ethernet to provide the fastest hands-free unlock experience available.

Technology to Build Upon

The new API will expand Kisi’s use into new management areas around the office by making it easy to integrate with other software and apps. Kisi's API helps developers easily build their apps to work with Kisi for unlocking doors, managing employee keys, provisioning keys, and monitoring traffic in and out of the office. Integrations are already available with coworking space member management platforms Cobot and Nexudus, video intercom app Ring Doorbell, and team messaging service Slack.

"Initially we tried to integrate with large players in the industry but we realized their interfaces are outdated and actually prohibitive to new vendors," explains Carl Pfeiffer, CTO at Kisi. "With Kisi's public API the modern IT manager can integrate door control just like any other SaaS tool they use."

A Full-Service Access System, the First of Its Kind

Designed for IT Managers in the modern office who demand easy integration with their existing infrastructure, Kisi Pro provides seamless scalability for provisioning keys and hands-off maintenance for their front door security system.

"The status quo in the access industry is long turnaround times on installation, middlemen locksmiths who service systems, and no direct point of contact for the end user," explains Kyle Milley, Operations Manager at Kisi. "We're here to change that. We're even using Uber Rush, where available, to get clients up-and-running in a fraction time compared to the industry average."

Eyes On You Photography

Photographer Male Owings Mills, Maryland, US
My MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/JuanONeal
Mayhem # 2223641

About Me

PLEASE....Take a minute to read the entire "About Me" and decide if I am the Professional Photographer for you!

Skip EVERYTHING & contact me IMMEDIATELY for a session if any or all these apply to you!

~ You have nothing but bathroom selfies.
~ You have that classic jail squat pose. (LMAO)
~ Your port is full of out of focus pics from a GWC (Guy With a Camera)
~ You just need a professional photographer that knows his craft.

I am a on location photographer with 20+ years' experience. I wholeheartedly enjoy what I do. A retired soldier with 22 years professionalism. I provide digital images (CD's) NOT prints to my clients. Contact me, let's talk and work out a fantastic session.

No drive by friend requests here, I do not troll MM & collect model profiles. I only photograph those that are serious. If you will not politely respond to a professional message I already know you will not show up for a photo session.

I shoot models for FREE, TFCD...I use MM as one of my many outlets of giving back. I DO NOT PAY MODELS...good for me and by the same token I DO NOT CHARGE MODELS...better for you.

Check my style and quality of work, I am not some hack, weirdo or GWC (Guy With a Camera). I am quite selective who I choose to work with. If I send you a note, friend add or email for a photo shoot opportunity it's ONLY to shoot you professionally. I have more than enough pro gear to get the job done, my preference is to shoot outside and on location.

I conduct IN PERSON informal meet and greet in a local Starbucks long before any photo session. I have found that if a model will not show up and meet then the chances are slim to none of showing up to shoot, when scheduled. A true fact for me is that we both have to feel comfortable when shooting. A meet and greet helps to eliminate the initial un-easyness of meeting someone new.

A MODEL RELEASE IS A REQUIREMENT. You MUST consent to be photographed. You will receive a usage agreement with your CD indicating images are for personal portfolio use, ANY other use requires my written consent. I embed my copyright within the EXIF METADATA of every photo I take.

~~ Models looking to get paid by a PROFESSIONAL Photographer~~

If you expect payment, you become a employee of the photographer and paid to MODEL ONLY....if you want prints that will COST YOU!!! NO PRO will pay you money AND give you PRINTS or a CD of images from the session. It's not as common sense as you believe, some "Models" have the audacity to ask for both? LOL

....now I am sure TFCD(Time for CD) is looking a little more appealing now.

Lingual: The Multi-Language Learning Application {GIVEAWAY}

There's a new multilingual app about to launch that parents and teachers should know about. Lingual is an interactive iPad application. The immersion game will be available as a free app possibly as soon as next month. With three language options, Lingual will teach English, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish through both audio and text. I love that players will also be introduced to geography and culture through various maps and famous landmarks.

If you'd like to help them make Lingual a reality, consider becoming a backer. By contributing to this project, you have the option of receiving certain gifts associated with the game, such as flash cards, posters, and a glass copy of artwork found in the app. They've already raised over $4,000 of the $5,000 they need to get funding, so every dollar counts!

Here's a short video introducing the app...

Lingual is offering one of their beautiful game art works printed in glass and signed by the artist to one MommyMaestra reader. Valued at $80, it is a treasure for any family.

This is for the collectors and the language education supporters. You will receive 1 8”x10” game play concept art signed by the artist and printed to glass. Glass print will be of a monument from an English, Mandarin or Spanish journey.

Los Bloguitos: A Spanish Blog for Children

Do you know about Los Bloguitos? It is the most wonderful Spanish blog for children that is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year! Run by my Latino children's author René Colato Laínez, this blog is a delightful compilation of stories, poems, illustrations, and more written completely in Spanish for children.

Spanish-dominant and Spanish-learning children of all ages will benefit from the site, which boosts literacy skills and supports imaginative development through short stories, poems, word searches, comic strips, anecdotes, and fun activities. Small children will enjoy looking at the short videos and illustrations while having the poems and short stories read to them. Older kids can enjoy reading the excerpts for themselves or by contributing works of their own.

Yep, you read that last part right. Your Spanish-speaking students or children can submit their own work to be featured on the website.

In addition, there are many talented authors and illustrators who contribute to the site. So it is an excellent example of the diversity of the Latino voice and culture.

What a great tool this is for developing a Spanish learner's vocabulary, as well as a way to develop a child's confidence in writing and illustrating!

If your child has a piece published on Los Bloguitos, please let us know so we can share it!

Run for Wellness 5k Recap

I survived the 5k!

It was H.O.T. but I was expecting it.  I only had enough time for a slow one mile warm up.

By the way, if you’re local to Houston, this is a free race series the last Sunday of every month.  Check it out! But maybe wait until October.  🙂

I started the race conservatively, hoping to come in around 21 minutes.

The course was a simple out and back, with a little shade at times.  There were some speedy men (the top 3 all came in around 16 minutes) but only one woman in front of me the entire time.

Despite the scenic course and new-to-me park, I was huffing and puffing by mile one! I haven’t run a sub-7 mile (or even sub-7 interval!) since the last 5k in early May and I could tell.  🙂

I ran side by side with one guy for the first half, but at the turn around he decided to pick it up.  (What is it about most guys and refusing to be passed by a woman?) I really didn’t care enough to chase him, but it did help me pick up my pace a bit.

It felt good to run a race without the hopes of a new pr.  My quads were tired from spin the day before, and the humidity made it difficult to get any deep breaths.

My splits came in at 6:39, 6:49, and 6:43.  As I approached the finish, I was surprised to see I would be under 21 minutes.   And I was thrilled to be finished! Final time: 20:39

My last sweaty Texas race!

Good enough for 2nd woman! It was hard and hot and crazy sweaty, but I’m glad I did it. And it was fun to see another part of Houston before we leave.

I stuck around for awards (a medal) and then headed back out for 7 easier miles to finish with 11 for the day.

Back at the car, I realized I forgot to pack a towel.  I was soaking wet by this point, thanks to the humidity (not gonna miss that at all!) Thankfully, a sun visor makes an excellent waterproof seat cover.

Do you race through the summer months? Have you ever experienced soaked clothes from running in humidity?

71 thoughts on “Run for Wellness 5k Recap

  1. Such a great run for you, you always amaze me with your speed! I usually don’t like to race in the summer but I’m going to participate in a 4th of July 5k. Many friends I’ve met through running will be there and it will be great to run with them.
    Farrah @ Fairy Healthy Life recently posted..Inspire The WorldMy Profile

  2. You are so fast! One day I hope to run a 5k in that kind of time on a nice chilly day! 🙂 Great job — Once April hits in FL, I retire from racing until September. Even then it’s still pretty hot, but training through the summer months definitely conditions well! And yes – Saturday 10m long run = necessary change of clothes. I looked like I’d jumped in a pool.
    beka @ rebecca roams recently posted..MCM Training Week 1My Profile

  3. WAY TO GO!!!
    Humidity is constant here in summer. But it makes those fall races feel so much easier! I love racing in the summer, because otherwise I lose a little motivation to actually get all my runs done. I’m looking forward to a 5k on Thursday- same one my husband and I have ran for the past 2 years on our anniversary!
    Kasey recently posted..Bad.My Profile

  4. Great job! I’m not much of a runner in general, but I’ve been struggling with exercise headaches this summer so far because it’s so hot and humid. I’m trying to find the right balance of fluids and electrolytes.
    Susan recently posted..Monday Motivation & Game PlanMy Profile

  5. This morning I went for a short (but tough) bike ride and by the time I got home I was covered in sweat. I was stinky and hot but it felt good to get my workout done. I can’t imagine how much worse it would have been if I had waited til this afternoon when it was hot!
    Fiona @ Get Fit Fiona recently posted..Weekly WorkoutsMy Profile

  6. i ran a super hot 5k the other day and was shocked how incredibly sweaty i was after 3.1 miles. it looked like i had jumped in a pool! so funny re: men and women passing them. what is their problem? haha. congrats on the strong finish!
    mary @ minutes per mile recently posted..out the doorMy Profile

  7. Congratulations! You did awesome on a super hot day! I try to avoid summer races because I don’t do well in the heat.

  8. You are sooo fast girl! Congrats!!! I usually don’t race in the summer…it’s way too hot. I have done a few 5K’s in the summer but it’s rare. And yes…my clothes are soaked with humidity after every run here on the Gulf Coast!!!
    Mindy @ Road Runner Girl recently posted..The Weekly Chase #27!My Profile

  9. Great job on the 5K!!!
    I hope your last week in TX is awesome!!!
    And, my clothes are usually soaked even without that kind of heat – after boot camp (outside) and a 4 mile run this morning they were dripping!
    Kim recently posted..Sometimes Technology Is Scary!My Profile

  10. Congrats on a great race—something you will love about moving up here is that it wont be AS BAD as Texas heat! It’s definitely been warm ad I have definitely had some “soaked clothes” workouts and races lately but I think it’s more manageable here than there. Solid 5k time, seriously you are awesome, I can’t wait to see what you do when you get a better condition race day, a little cooler and you’re going to fly! Congrats on 2nd place as well!
    Laura recently posted..Good, Bad & Yummy 6/28-6/30 & June FavsMy Profile

  11. Congratulations Laura!! It’s definitely hard to race in the heat, but you did amazing! I was soaked after my run on Saturday, but because of rain, and I wish that I had remembered to bring a towel! My car seats were soaked.
    Jamie @ couchtoironwoman recently posted..Training Without MikeMy Profile

  12. I was so soaked from my run on Saturday. Afterwards, when I ran into our 7 year old neighbor, he asked me if I had to pee. I guess he thought I might have peed all over myself?? (I don’t know, it was really random!)

  13. You are a rock star, lady! I know this running trail….love it (great bike path, because you can start at the Terry Hershey parking spot at Beltway and go alllll the way down here for a 20+ mile loop). Hope you had a great time and enjoyed the victory…second place IS a victory!

    Under 21 minute finishing time with the heat/humidity we have been having is a victory in and of itself! Congrats.

    Let me know if you plan to do this again. I’d love to join….Sept 29th or later. =)

  14. Oooh, where was that race? Looks prettier than all the Allen Parkway 5Ks I’ve done, haha. Congrats on the second place win!

    I tend not to race anything longer than 5Ks in the summer even though I’m always running plenty during marathon training. My boyfriend is crazy and is signed up for two nighttime (sweat fest) 60Ks later this summer.
    Emilia @ Run for Your LIfe recently posted..Brief updateMy Profile

  15. Wow! You are so super speedy! It is pretty humid in NY these days so my running has been a suffer fest. I don’t race in the summer because I don’t dissipate the heat well. Just lots of training for fall races. Good luck with your move.

  16. Yup! I run all summer long….although we llive in Iowa so I don’t have quite the humidity. We did go to FL for 2 weeks in June though and that was pretty humid! My pace slowed a bit for sure. It has been pretty humid here though. Last week’s speed session was a humid one! It is not as bad if I get out early…like 6:30…but it just doesn’t always happen. It makes it harder to stretch for me because I want to shower right away but then if I do that I tend to forget about stratching :)!
    That is an awesome 5k though!!!
    Jen Floyd @ milesandblessings recently posted..Lawn Mowers & Crockpots 🙂My Profile

  17. Haha so funny that you sat on the shade! I am amazed at the speeds you can hit. GREAT RACE! The humidity is usually a factor off & on in the summer. It’s very unpredictable. July & August are typically the worst but April, May, June, September, and October can have their humid streaks too!

  18. Nice race Laura!!! I don’t know how you can run in humidity. Last Friday I had to do my long run after work and it was 95. I thought I was going to die. It was a struggle to finish my 10 miles. I wished I had a towel for my car too. I was a sweaty mess. 🙁

  19. Congrats on both an awesome time (in hot temps!) and your placement. You rock!

    I really only ever do triathlons or 5ks in summer b/c anything else is just too hot to bear. I was amazed last week when I saw that there was a marathon planned in the Nevada desert. In June?!

  20. Ug. I don’t know how you do it. Plus you had an excellent time. I trained for my first half marathon (and did many miles after that) in New Orleans so I am no stranger to the humid races. However, I did NOT love them at all. I also did not run a sub 7 pace! I actually joined the gym only so I would have a cool place to exercise!

A Case Study In Outsourcing Ridiculous Titles on Twitter

It’s nearly midnight, I completed my first blog post in three months, and get stuck on a decent title. I take a break and hop on Tweetdeck to share my lament. The recommendations come fast and furious:

“Bing Biz Portal Kills Google Places SEO while PANDA is a +1 addict”

“10 Tips About Google +1, Panda, Content Farms, Google Blocking and SEO Killers For Social Media Success”

“The Panda Update Killed SEO and +1 is Social Media Awesome and Google Sucks”

“How I Increased My Site Traffic 0.0001% by Optimizing for Blekko and Not Getting Banned”

“+1 Gamechanges Panda’s Face In Fit of SEO Madness”

“I Killed SEO, and Your Next!”
(misspelling intentional because grammar is only an option at this hour)
Mind you, the post has very little to do with SEO, and nothing to do with Panda, +1, Blekko, Bing or Google. We search people need to get out more.

Very special thanks to Jon Henshaw, Dr. Peter J. Meyers, Tony Verre and Dawn Wentzell for their creative insights. But I still don’t have a decent title despite these literary gems. At least they are not going to waste.

Huomah.com’s Christmas Avatar Spectacular

Yes, it’s that spectacular, because this year I got one!

A tradition started in 2008, David Harry would “Christmasize” your Twitter avatar for the holiday. This year I begged, and I  got a full size holiday image that would put Hallmark to shame. Now of course who besides me has the urge to put thought bubbles over our heads?

Santa, would you please bring me a Camaro for Christmas?

Inevitable: twitter.google.com

Yesterday Google Announced its search deal with Twitter that will include tweets in search results.

Google incorporating real-time search of course is not at all shocking. Twitter already secured a search deal with Bing (Facebook was in that deal too), and the impact of up-to-the-minute search results is nothing to sneeze at. Plus, the Twitter search function alone foreshadowed a deal, don’t you think?

Overexposure vs. The Fear of Obscurity

I was just recently asked to speak at a local, sold out social media event that has been getting a ton of exposure.

Unfortunately, I had to decline. Why? Well, there are a slew of factors really. But first please allow me to indulge in a few thoughts I have been having about social media, networking, productivity and the like.

A recent post by Carlos Miceli reinforced questions I have been asking myself lately:

What do my social actions say about my productivity?
How are my actions perceived?
Am I wasting my time posting and engaging in useless conversations?
Am I  collaboratively producing and constantly learning?
Are my connections and conversations providing value, not just to me, but to my work AND my network as well?

Interestingly, the same week a very dear colleague and friend Dana Lookadoo also posted an extremely useful column on getting control of your social media life.

All of a sudden a connection between productivity and transparency has been made.

I would like to think that the connections made online and the social blogosphere have been worthwhile. I have seen results. I can attest that there has been valuable information shared, and collaborative projects as well.

But I’ve seen the opposite too. And there are times I feel the urge to participate in time-wasting conversations, as if I needed to be present – not really as a social addiction, more out of fear of becoming invisible. Out of sight, out of mind.

It’s the conflict of overexposure vs. obscurity. Chew on that one.

My takeaway is this: I would rather give when I can, and be known for integrity and follow-through. It’s not about how loud I can be – I’d rather let my connections and work speak for itself.

So back to declining the last-minute offer to speak … initially I felt guilt, I was wasting an opportunity to be in front of colleagues and potential clients. I was letting the organizers, who are also friends of mine, down.  I could have done it, but at what expense? My schedule is packed, my project list never-ending. My family needs me. Oh, yeah, how about sleep? Sleep is good.

So I graciously passed. It’s uncomfortable for not to be out there, in front. I can’t stand to miss the party. But what I can say is this: I am more self-aware, and that will only make me more valuable to the connections I make in the future.

Liverpool’s Rodgers ‘pleased’ with comeback win over City

Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling plays the ball against

MADRID- Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was delighted with his side’s positive response to tactical changes after they twice rallied against Manchester City to edge out the Premier League champions in a New York friendly on Wednesday.

Stevan Jovetic gave City, who finished two points ahead of Liverpool last season, the lead twice in the second half but the Reds responded with goals from Jordan Henderson and Raheem Sterling before winning the penalty shootout 3-1.

Rodgers was “pleased” with the victory, which kept Liverpool on course for a possible final against bitter rivals Manchester United in Miami next week, provided they beat AC Milan in their last group game of the eight-team tournament on Saturday.
“It was a great game for us.

Manchester City are a wonderful team and will go close in the Premier League again this year,” the 41-year-old Northern Irishman told reporters after the match at the Yankee Stadium.

“What has been the trademark of this team over the past 18 months has been the character. We showed it again tonight to keep going and get ourselves back in the game.

“We played with a number of different formations. Pre-season is about the physical fitness of the players and re-introducing that tactical element of the game.

“Credit to the players for coping with those changes in tactics and systems. Overall I was pleased.”

Pellegrini praise
The coach had special praise for Henderson, who netted five times for Liverpool last season, and said he expected more goals from the 24-year-old Englishman.

“That’s the objective for Jordan this season,” Rodgers said. “He has the qualities as he showed with the finish for the equaliser. He does that day-in day-out in training. “I expect him to get upwards of 10 goals this season. He has the qualities and tactical nous to arrive in places to do that.”

City boss Manuel Pellegrini was also satisfied with his side’s performance in front of a capacity crowd of more than 49,000.

“I’m very happy because it was a good, competitive game and useful for both teams,” the Chilean said. “We played well for the first 45 minutes when 0-0 didn’t reflect exactly what happened.

“Then we played well in the second half, though Joe Hart made some very good saves and we missed some good chances especially when the score was 2-1. Then we had the penalties...”

Pellegrini tipped Montenegrin forward Jovetic, who has scored four goals in two matches on the tour, for a stellar season.

“I have said before that Stevan is a very important player for us and he proved again what an asset he can be,” the coach said. “He had a number of different injuries last season but now he is fully fit.

“I’m sure if he continues in this way he will show why he is here. If he’s fit all the year he will be a very important player for us.”

‘Promote local tourism to boost revenue’

Local leaders in Gulu District have called on the ministry of Tourism to speed up the promotion of local tourism and documentation so that the district can benefit from the initiative.

Since peace returned to the region a decade now, tourists visiting Fort Patiko rose from less than ten to more than 100 according to a register book kept at the entrance of the famous fort.

The highest in the last 10 years was in 2015 when 150 foreign visitors were received at Fort Patiko and in 2016, mostly Americans and Europeans who brought Shs2 million in revenue.
One of the attendants at Fort Patiko, Mr Ronald Okello Onen, told Daily Monitor in Gulu on Tuesday that visitors are those involved in making documentations, researchers and individual tourists.

“The number of the visitors at Fort Patiko is attributed to political stability and good weather,” he said.
On his part, the area LIII Councilor for Anywadwe Parish where the Fort Patiko is located, Mr Benson Komakech, asked government to build the necessary infrastructure that will spur development in the area.

“There is need to have better facilities in area for accommodation so that better revenue is also realised when the visitors camp at the site for socialisation, work and education purposes,” he said.

The ministry of Tourism has currently embarked on the promotion of local tourism which earns the country around Shs300 billion in foreign earning annually.

Other tourists’ sites in Acholi sub-region are the Lamogi hills, where the Lamogi people resisted British Colonial rule in 1911 and Aruu Falls in Pader District.

Mommy Moments: Black and White

I got few pictures of my two daughters in black in white since they changed their preference from pinky colors of barbie stuff. In my old archive, I've noticed that black dominates the color now.

They still look great in black and white. The feel like little adults and pink is not a favorite anymore.

He Needs to Work Out

This is an old picture of my nephew taken last year during our family getaway in Laiya. He's quite shy and not a good mixer with other boys. He is active in a dance group lately but he is still an introvert type, alone with his own thoughts. Joining a group somehow developed his personality but I remind him to give priority to his studies. In our last family reunion, he was with other group and he seemed focused only with his own team. He is still young but already conscious about his looks. Well, dancing maybe honed his muscles but he still needs pre workout supplements and other vitamins to keep him going. Dancing gave him a chance to show his talent but not a sufficient reason for giving up his school. I believe he is intelligent receiving awards in grade school years. I hope he allows more time to focus on his studies and dancing as only a hobby and not as a career someday.

Goodbye Friendster

There's a time for Hello and time for Goodbye. Once famous, now neglected and forgotten. I myself speak as I already forgot my password and had to email them for my PW. Last night, I heard it over the news on TV about Friendster bidding goodbye; and that it will last only until the end of May; that I have to transfer my photos and important files in my account. I actually received an email from them a week ago but did not pay attention in it. I have been inactive in this site since Facebook came my way. FS is planning to turn their old social networking site to entertainment site. That's good. You got to move on.

My Daughter's Eyeglasses

Have you seen the latest photo of my older daughter wearing over sized eyeglasses? I don't know about the teenage trend but she kept on telling me that wearing such makes her feel good and trendy. About a month ago, we visited the optical clinic for her eye check up. She wears reading glasses with 325/200 vision and it gets higher every year. At least twice a year, we visit optical clinic to correct her eye vision. My younger daughter wears eye glasses too. At times, my older daughter looks funny with her over sized glasses but I can do nothing but agree with what she calls "trendy and geeky look." Oh well, maybe we have generation gap and I can't understand how she interprets trendy and geeky. We have different views in choosing eye glasses. But whatever it is, I hope her vision gets better and healthier in the future. If we cannot prevent it, at least she wears the proper eye glasses and observes healthy practice to avoid eye problem.

Nostalgia 50: Three Years Ago

Can you imagine these photos were taken only three years ago? and I can't believe how time flies. See how these little girls have grown in just three years.
And they were so eager and excited riding in a rides. And now, I wonder if they want to try this. Just last week, we passed by here and I asked them if they still want to take a ride here again and they immediately replied back, "No!"
I was supposed to post another photo, wackier and crazier photos of them but they begged not to post any.

And this is the photo of my older daughter now. I was looking for the latest picture of them together but I can't find one.

Companies Advocating Healthier Lifestyles

I read a post recently about Infinity Dish in which they are requiring their employees to not only exercise but participate in corporate events that promotes well being. These events range from fun runs to riding public transportation as incentives. They are not only a great idea for health purposes, but according to the article they help enhance team spirit within the company.

There are a lot of people out there who despise their jobs. They often tell me, I can’t stand that co-worker or my boss is on my case again. I think that what a lot of companies are doing now with these “health & wellness” programs really make a difference in the creating a good atmosphere to work in. Through sponsored events co-workers are forced, so to speak, to work in teams and in tandem towards a specific goal. This partnership can bridge any gap or disagreements co-workers may have with one another.

I think that because a lot of people are looking for jobs out there, this type of program is one to keep an eye on if you are looking for a position. Most times, a health & wellness program is a great indicator to how a company is doing overall, especially if you plan to stay there for the long haul. For more information on this company check out the official Infinity Dish Twitter account.

Nostalgia 49: Reminds Me of My Salad Days

Everytime we go to our home province, most people ask me that my younger daughter looks like me when I was her age. I agree! I am her mother and who do you think she would inherit her looks other than me. I saw this picture of my older daughter with her cousin and thought of sharing in my Nostalgia. She hardly poses for a camera. Only when she's in best outfit would she allow me to press the shutter click. Time flies! This picture was taken two years ago and she has now grown into a fine young lady.

Easy Tax Filing

Tax filing is such a hassle job for me and I guess this can be very stressful also for some people who are not aware about the proper procedures of filing. There are certain steps in filing a tax. For those who are not knowledgeable about it can ask help which is available online. Tax filing can be the easiest thing to do today. You can get their services and get the full refund of returns. It is guaranteed safe and you can even avail assistance for free. There is free tax filing ready to assist you with accurate filing in a secured process. For other people who are late in filing and looking for file tax extension, then this will help them get through the tax dilemma. It is not as costly as you might think considering you'll get the safest and guaranteed process online.

Basically, you need to provide the correct data and information for smooth and clear transaction. You sure would love to hear more of this preparation which is also free of tax. Not everything is free and this is something you would want to avail. Look how far technology has gone today. Who would have thought that filing a tax could be this easy? You wouldn't believe it but tax filing is available online. Honestly, I had a hard time filing my tax then, that I had to hire somebody who is into this field. Now I can sleep and relax and let the efiling do the job for me. How was that? Cool, right?

My Niece

I've been mentioning about her in my old posts but I haven't featured her yet in this site. She is my niece who co-lives with us since their house is quite far from the university. She has her own fan page in Facebook where all her fans are her family, us. Lol. She's quite shy but always ready to take her signature pose. I took this shot during our weekend in Batangas.

Digital Scrapbooking

Blogger friend Jes, as I have always mentioned in my previous post, loves digi scrapping. She has plenty of photo books and photo albums in her collections. I wonder how much time she exerted in doing such artistic creations. I just viewed her right sidebar in her website and I was totally amazed in all her collections of family memories. She designs her own layout with her heart and that resulted to a wonderful work of arts. I don't think she needs to be in the mood in doing such to have a perfect layout because art is already in her system. She's an excellent artist when it comes to this field. Oh well, that's how I rate her. Wink. She ordered plenty of photo books online of different sizes like 12 x 12, 8 x 8, 7 x 5 and 4 x 4. Cool! I wanna try digi scrapping too, but before that, I need to organize hard copy of my albums filed in a messy shelf in our house.

A Vacation to Remember

I've been wanting for a perfect summer vacation this year. I don't have any plan yet but definitely we'll be going out somewhere else away from the city in a place where we can stay for a week or at least three days with nothing to think about but to refresh our minds and rejuvenate our bodies. It is not necessary a luxury vacation just as long as we can relax, it can be in a beach, a resort or even a camp.

This time of the year, people are looking for a vacation that will offer them a great deal. Are you looking for a vacation that is great for family too? Why don't you surprise them for a grand but affordable vacation. Settle for something your family want, a vacation that they will truly love. Grand Cayman vacation offers different adventures like swimming with dolphins or snorkel. They have quite a number of villas and condos of your choice. They will assist you on what type of adventure and vacation that you want and that includes taxi service, restaurant and other services. Plan your vacation right now and give your family a vacation that will last a lifetime in their memories.

Classic Look

If there is one part of the house that I want best, it would be the kitchen. Kitchen is the heart of the home for me. I am a certified foodie and kitchen is on top of my list should I decide to have a little renovation of the house. I love cooking and thought about baking too but I don't have cooking and other baking equipments. Finding a store for all your kitchen needs is easier if you only discover a site that answers everything, even for your kitchen cabinet store. Personally, I prefer a deep cherry color for cabinets. It just looks so appealing to me. I think it looks very ancient but the modern side is still there. I don't put decorations in the kitchen or in any other parts of the house. I want to keep the house simple yet elegant. Are you dreaming of classic yet kitchen with modern facilities too? How about cabinets? Look no further, head on to the link above and discover more of the cabinets available online now.

Dental Check Up

Last week, I noticed that my daughter's teeth were starting to form unaligned. New set of permanent teeth are about to come out so I set an appointment with the dentist and visited the clinic that day. The dentist advised us for a panoramic x-ray to know the root and the position of canine tooth and other permanent teeth which are about to come out. I asked the dentist if I can take a picture for her very first teeth filling, and she said yes, so I did. I am glad that my daughter developed no fear on seeing a dentist. I never had a hard time convincing her to visit the clinic for dental check up.

A Bad Credit

I always wanted to have a credit card of my own and almost tempted to apply for one. I love seeing my friends enjoying their credit cards when shopping. If you are a credit card holder, it is just right to purchase within the limit. When at the mall, sometimes you just go on shopping till you drop even if you intend only for one particular item. Before you knew it, you already buried yourself into debt. Over spending only comes to your senses when the bill arrives and the amount surprised you as if you don't know about the purchase.

Are you one of those who never think before making a purchase? an impulse buyer? Then debt help could be the answer to it all when you don't know what to do with your bad credit. We all love shopping but when the bill comes with bigger amount than what we've ever imagined, it always becomes a burden to us. Honestly, I can't sleep well even with unpaid utility bills so credit card is definitely a no no for me. I stay away from all those things that I consider a bad credit.

Women's Issues and More

There are many issues about women that I read online today. One of these is about pregnancy. An expectant mother usually gets advice from her family about do's and dont's during the entire pregnancy. But even before pregnancy, a woman must be very careful and must consult the doctor at once, as soon as she found that she's pregnant. A pregnant woman must not take any medicine without the advice of the doctor. Following strict diet is needed for healthy pregnancy to sustain the vital nutrients that are needed by the body. Pregnant women experience hormonal imbalance and other medical condition too. There are quite a lot of cases with regard to birth defects because they are unaware about medications. For other cases about birth defects and complications, they seek the advice like that of depakote lawsuit. It is therefore a must that the community and medical team should gather all the data about the case.

Nostalgia 48: Our Home Province

I may not be able to visit your site this weekend. We'll be going to our home province later. Yay! We have packed everything for the weekend and my kids are excited again in going home. I'm looking forward for more hammock days away from internet. I saw this picture a while ago while looking for my Nostalgia entry. I miss hammock days! I would want to stay there for at least a month or two but I can't stay there for long even if I want to. I'll try to blog and visit you once I get a strong connection.

Personalized Gifts

I'm glad I belong to a group online where mommies and wives share ideas or sometimes about rants on our personal experiences online. It is a closed group anyway where only members have the access to the page. We had our first meet up last week attended by more that twenty five bloggers. Each bloggers came with their unique tokens and exchanged their gifts during the meet up. I was such an idea less person and thought about the simplest token to give during the event. Or should I say, I ran out of time and it was too late for me to decide to purchase online since shipment will take ten days or more to arrive so I have decided to have mine purchased in the store nearby. If I have checked the Corporate Gift Ideas earlier, I could have my tokens personalized. I was looking for a wonderful gift but time did not permit so I just went to a shop and had the name of the group embroidered in it. Anyways, it is always the thought that counts, right?

Athena Beautrition

"No other milk understands women better." There are a lot of different brands of milk on the market and you must discover the benefits of Athena Milk and know more what's behind the quote.

As a woman, I need supplements to keep me going. I sometimes can't stand to my workload anymore. Maybe I was lacking of calcium which is necessary for optimum bone health. I tried different brands of milk and thought every brand has the same content. I always consider nutrition facts and read every nutrients labeled for every pack of milk that I consumed.

Last week, I started drinking Athena Milk Chocolate Flavor Powdered Milk and it's good to my taste. It has High Calcium, Low Fat and great source of Anti-oxidants such as Vitamins A, E and Zinc. I really need this milk to keep myself on the go everyday. Being a mom of two girls with no house helper around, I need to keep myself fit and attractive too. Yes, attractive and you read it right! I know I can achieve this with Athena, the only Milk that understands women better.

Please visit Athena Milk website to get more tips to keep your body in great shape at Athena Beautrition or via Facebook account Athena Facebook Page.

Packing for the Weekend

I got on invitation for a birthday party this weekend. And since we will be gone for the whole weekend, I'll be sending my friend the gift ahead of time with a note that I can't make it and just wish her all the happiness on her birthday! This week, we're also planning to go on a beach but I am not sure yet about the plan. Even without asking other members of the family, I'm quite sure, it will be in a private resort nearest to the place. I'll bring our thermo bag just in case I need to prepare something like salad or if we pack our cold drinks for the beach. I sent the link to my sister just in case she wants to check wine merchants too. I'm starting to pack our things now and we'll go out later to buy other stuff needed for the beach.

Mommy Moments: Summer Plans

Unlike summer last year, by his time of the month, we already have our concrete plan on how to spend our summer. Summer this year seems to be the coolest. It's like, since the first day of summer, December month. We do not use or turn on our air conditioner at night and even use blankets to keep us warm at dawn time. I wonder how long will it last as we're enjoying the season anyway. We have no plan yet on how or where to spend our summer vacation. We're planning to go out in a beach or private pool one weekend and have bonding time with their cousins. Right now we're enjoying our lazy days in the house, watching TV, eating and going out in the mall sometimes.

Nostalgia: A Token

I appreciate every little thing or token from a friend. A blogger friend Mommy Rossel of Topics on Earth gave me a weekly calendar the last time I met her in an event. She missed our PMC meet up last Sunday, but I do hope she'll be able to make it the second time around.

I like the design and the planner but one thing that I most love is the thought of remembering me. Thank you Ross for this. I do hope you're fine now and hope to see back online and blogging.

Model Unit

I fell in love with a condo unit during site viewing long ago. I knew I'm in love because I can't get over with it and it keeps haunting my mind that someday I can afford to invest in real state too. I may sound too ambitious here but before you disagree with me, you should see the model unit first. I bet you'll fall the same way too. It is simple yet elegant and space won't be a problem at all even if the floor area is quite small. It is provided with modern set of furniture, vanity cabinets and other appliances. Each room has its own TV but it didn't eat much space even if the television stands are quite big.

I am posting a photo here because I believe in positive vibes and I'll keep believing that I will have this unit if not now and not the same unit, maybe in the future. There's still hope for everyone right? I just bought a lotto ticket this afternoon. Who knows I'll win in the next draw.

Watery Wednesday: Shangrila

After our dinner at the plaza, I chanced to see this fountain inside the mall. I think I have already posted different fountains inside the mall and thought this one is wonderful to add in my Watery Wednesday.

Rehabilitation Therapy

Some of my classmates in college are now living abroad. I got to talk to one of them who used to be my buddy since high school via internet. I am happy to see her living a happy life with her family. I cannot name here for some reasons. The last time that I saw her, and that was during our college days, she seemed lost in the world. She went to the process of rehabilitation to help her cope up with her life. If not, she could have been somewhere else or worst, she could have ended her life her way.

There are lot of ways and agencies to help your loved ones get through with the process. Medical centers, california rehabs and other institutions provide this kind of treatment. I should know. My brother went through this process. If not for the love, the rehab and sound help for recovery, he could be a burden till now, not only to the government but to the whole community as as well.

Moments with PMC!

I am glad that I belong to Pinay Mommies Community (PMC). While I'm blogging, I always skip from time to time to talk with other mommies online at PMC. It is a breather for me. It felt good to be with other moms sharing the same thoughts and ideas. Moms are very nurturing by nature and I can relate with their sentiments be it money or heart that matters. Last April 3, 2010, PMC members took a break from online world and finally met each other held at Kamayan. It was fun, full of laughters and sharing. More or less thirty of us came together and met our PMC founder Mommy Rubz. I had a blast that day! I can only share few words here. Let my photos speak for this post.

What is PS22?

PS22 is the name of an AMAZING chorus directed by Gregg Breinberg, and composed of 60-70 fifth-graders from a public school in Staten Island, New York (Public School 22). This choir has been singing and performing since the year 2000 and has already performed with an amazingly long list of major music artists!

PS22 is the largest elementary school in Staten Island which draws students from a wide cross section of ethnic groups and socio-economic levels.

The chorus has become a bonafide internet sensation over the last few years, and after you see some of their videos and hear them, you'll understand why!

I guarantee you will be blown away by the chorus itself, but while you're watching, be sure to observe how many students are actively engaged in the music and singing, how many students are singing whole-heartedly, and how much this chorus means to them!

They are truly an awesome chorus in my opinion and music is definitely a universal language for them. I'm posting two of their many songs they have sung. They are so good I couldn't just post one!

You can find more of their songs and videos on youtube. Just search PS22 chorus.
You can also find out current info and the latest news about PS22 on their blog here.

Hope you have a great weekend!

  1. Awesome! I love the expressions on the girls faces in the audience for Eye of the TIger. :) It's so great to see them giving in to the music.

  2. I couldn't agree with you more Laura! If you watch the kids, you can see how much the music means to them! :)
