TRAVELS

We had the chance to visit few places in the states. I even had the chance to visit the Philippines for the second time. I couldn’t believed that we were able to do it this year. But I am so glad.
First visit is in NEVADA. The waiting is over. Mom together with Steve (brother in law) dropped us in the airport early in the morning. It was our first time that we flew together. We found out that there were no seat number in Southwest Airlines. We weren’t able to sit with each other. We arrived safe in Las Vegas airport. We had to wait for Christian (cousin). We were glad to see him. He took us to all Filipino restaurant that he knows and I was enjoying it. Dan just let me eat anything I wanted since we don’t have it in Omaha. We went to Hoover Dam, stratosphere and the strip. It was pretty but we don’t think we’re going to go back soon.
Second visit in in SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. The main event that Dan had to go. I had the chance to visit Bernie, my friend in Omaha who moved back to San Diego because she couldn’t stand the weather condition. The day that the convention Dan was going with his friend, the Maroon, toured me around San Diego. The place was awesome. Beautiful scenery indeed.
Third visit is in CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. It wasn’t a fun trip. I had to renew my passport since I had to go home to attend my brother’s wedding. We used Ann’s car for an 8 hour drive. Dan wasn’t happy to drive to Chicago. He was in a hurry to go home. We only stayed for 4 hours and had to be back in Omaha. I wanted to drive but I couldn’t since I didn’t have enough sleep. We stopped by in outlet center in Iowa and had dinner. It was a tiring trip but yet glad that I witnessed the city of Chicago.
Fourth visit is in SOUTH DAKOTA. The most awaited trip since me and Dan had invited mom and dad for the said state. We were worried about whether they would like it or not. We rented a van for them. We wanted them to be comfortable. The vacation was so relaxing. We visited the places that we wanted to explore. We were so glad that mom and dad enjoyed their vacation with us. Can’t wait for the next trip with them.
Lastly, CEBU, PHILIPPINES. I have to attend my brother’s wedding. My second visit since I resides in the US for 4 years.

iLasik

I have been wearing my glasses since I started working in the store. I used not to but it got worst after 2 months I have been working. I really don't know why but all of a sudden, I got a terrible headaches and got dizzy. I had to call in one time since I couldn't bear the pain anymore. When I was a kid, I loved to borrow my mom's glasses and had to try them on with me. But when I started wearing it, I hated it. I am wearing contact lens instead of eyeglasses now.
Till I've heard about Lasik and have to research about everything of LASIK technology. Her vision is back to 20/20. She can go to places anymore without having her pair of glasses.
What is even wonderful about it is NASA and the US Military have been offering it especially to their personnel who are facing extreme, physically demanding conditions to help improve their eye sight. It has also been validated that Lasik exceeds all established standards of safety and effectiveness. It is really a good opportunity for them.
With the modern Lasik which is know as ilasik, it uses two lasers instead of one. The combination of these advanced laser technologies creates a custom-fit procedure clinically proven to provide excellent safety and visual results. With a success rate of 95% that achieved 20/20 corrected vision from 100 military personnel which is really amazing. You really don't have to worry about lasik. I myself is interested and I have to read more about LASIK information. I might be doing it in the future.

South Dakota Trip

We spent 2 nights in South Dakota. Mom and Dad went with us. We were kinda worried if they would be having fun. We are glad they did. We visited the tourist attractions there except the Rushmore Cave. They couldn't take the walking, plus, the stairs were too high for them. It was ok. We were supposed to stop by in Corn Palace but I was asleep when we passed by. Oh well.
I couldn't wait to have another trip with Mom and Dad again. Maybe 2 years from now since me and hubby aren't planning to go somewhere next year.

Digital Makeover

I don't have enough knowledge when it comes to the digital world. I love taking pictures and I only know just the basic on how to upload it to show it to my friends. I've been traveling on few states lately and I wanted to make it as a photo show. I am so thankful that I found Roxio online and I made a photo show. I loved it because I could add music and could make captions from my pictures. If it's not for Roxio, my pictures would be just simple and boring. I am so glad to some of my friends that they could do their blog more unique and turned out to be more lively. I am so thankful for Roxio Extreme Digital Makeover. It really helps a lot like me that only knows the basic digitally.
My favorite episode is the Wedding Day crunch where Zoey and Chris helped a couple put a slideshow from childhood till now. I am sure the guest will like it. If I will have my church wedding one day, I am sure I am using the same website.

Awesome Prices

I thought me and my aunt would be having a Chinese Buffet but she headed to the mall right away. I didn't argue since on Thursday, I am going with my other aunt to China Buffet. We just had Japanese food instead. It was yummy. Then, we went shopping. Oh boy, we were getting crazy for the prices. It was cheap. So, once again, I ended up buying 3 pairs of sandals, not to think, I bought 5 pairs of shoes last week. But what can I say, it's hard to resist the prices that they are having right now. Younker's store has one of the best store in the mall. We went to other 3 stores before going home. The last place we went was awesome. Since I've been wanting to shop something for my relatives back home, specifically for guys, I found a good deal for everybody. When we were in the register, the Filipina, who are working in the store, showed us I saved close to $400 but I only paid $33. My aunt saved $550 and she was paying for only $31. Awesome Prices. Not sure if it's still be there when I am going back next week, but I am hoping. If not, I'm going to other store, maybe I could find cheaper too.

Good Dinner

I am glad hubby found a pair of shoes that he liked. He is so picky when it comes to shoes. He has the one to buy it or else it will be given away or put it in the closet. He got it from Famous Footwear. I found something that I thought I liked but when I tried it on, it wasn't comfortable so I didn't waste my money. We went to Baker's to buy meat. We were supposed to go to Kohl's but I changed my mind. I wanted to go to Asian Store instead since it has been awhile I haven't been there. I took my time to walk around the store since hubby wanted to go to best buy. I bought what I wanted and I was happy. I had fried fish and grits for dinner. I made sauce for the fish. It includes soy sauce, vinegar with pepper, green tomato. So yummy, I had a good dinner.

What's up with our cats?

What's up with our cats? It started as Daphne had a plastic bag from her tail and hubby teased her with her toy "mouse". She jumped unto the couch and she just realized that she had the plastic bag with her still so she was freaking out. She ran in circle from the kitchen to the living room, she managed to unplug what was behind the television. She went to the basement and hubby had to follow her to grab the plastic bag from her, while both of us were laughing out loud. But for her, she was so mad that she was hiding under the boxes and hubby had to find her. She was growling and hissing but yet we were still laughing till OJ went down to the basement and started attacking her. But not literally. They were just growling and hissing and we had to separate them. Hubby and I had to hold each cat to avoid the fighting again. It lasted for 2 hours I guess. Daphne was feeling better but OJ still not. At this moment, we had to lock him in the computer room because he is still mad. We don't know what's going on with him. Hubby had to much for him so he's locked up in the room the entire night. We give him food, water and litter box for his own. Hopefully he'll be better tomorrow or else he'll be in the room still. Feels like the first day we just had Daphne in our apartment and OJ was so mad.
