Maybe there was a time when I wasn’t sure what I was going to be when I grew up but to be honest, I can’t remember it. While all the other kids in my college graduating class were talking about moving to the city and going to http://www.cabletvadvisor.com/ to get all the game channels I was worried about one thing and one thing only: buying a farm. I had known I wanted to do something with my hands my whole life…when I was in college it became even more clear that I needed to farm. I set up my organic operation last year and things have been way better than I ever could have imagined. There’s something to be said for doing what you love and doing it in a responsible way – I love that I can be proud of my product and make money off it, too. Being a farmer definitely has its perks and I can’t say the ladies don’t love it! They really like that my hands are rough and I’ve got a farmer’s tan…

Praise God for a beautiful morning, it may not be an easy day but HIS guidance and love will enable us to push through despite all odds.

Each moment in a day has its own value. Morning brings HOPE!
Afternoon brings FAITH! Evening brings LOVE! Night brings REST!
Hope you will, all of them EVERYDAY!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thankful for the job that I have. Awesome and inspiring!

I dropped by at Sunflower Market after work to do some grocery shopping yesterday. Well, the weather man said that we will be having lots of snow today and for sure, it is really true, the reason, I did my daily needs yesterday.

While I went to the seafood section, I was happy to see this Tuna fish with the signed, product from the Philippines. I grabbed two sliced/fillet for tinola. The weather is cold and soup is the best katapat for this kind of season.

This guest post from Lenny Mcknight While I was trying to decide where to go for our next annual family vacation, I came across so many good options. We’ve been to several places within the United States, so my daughter asked if we could go outside of the country for our next trip. I’m a sucker for travel, so I said yes with little hesitation. My husband, however, had several reservations. First, he said that he couldn’t get off of work for an out-of-country trip to be worth it. Secondly, he said that he didn’t feel good about leaving our house unattended for that long. Thirdly, he said that he didn’t want to spend that much money on a trip. Well, lo and behold that next week he got a bonus, his boss gave him an extra week off, and I found a home security system through http://www.homesecurityfamily.com/. Problems solved! French Riviera here we come!

Don't you just love life? Yes, I'm inspired waking up every morning thinking life has a lot to offer in  this world. My girl is doing great in her school and looking all her Monday folders just make me smile. All I can say, thank you, Lord for the Gift! Awesome!

Recently, I took a job in sales and didn’t realize how much traveling would be required of me. Besides being gone 50 percent of the time I love the job but I wish I could cut down on the long trips across the country, but I guess it could be worse I could be traveling across the globe like the employees in global sales. A guy at our company recommended that I visit Http://Totalalarmsystems.Com so that when I have take long trips for work at least my wife can sleep a little better and feel safer being at home all alone. The guy from work also gave me some great advice about some restaurants to eat while I’m on the road because he knows how much I love to eat. I’m really excited about a new steakhouse he told me about in Texas and apparently there is a great hotdog place in Chicago that have the best chocolate milkshakes in the country. I guess when I think about it traveling is not as bad as I make it out to be.

It doesn't mean I don't love America...:)) America is my second home and it belongs to my heart already.
Well, the reason why I shout out for the love of my country...it's because I was visiting my homeland for three weeks and I had so much fun spending quality time with my family. What a blast and I want to be back pretty soon.

My absolute favorite animated show is Cartoon Network's Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. The show follows the imaginary friend, Blu and is best friend Mack. Blu lives at a special home run by Madame Foster that houses imaginary friends that do not have other homes. Mack must come to visit Blu every single day to ensure that Blu cannot be adopted out to somebody else. Even though Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is a show for children, I watch it on satellite TV, that I got after seeing these www.expertsatellite.com, whenever I get the chance. I love to see Blu and Mack, along with the rest of the quirky characters, both real and imaginary, that make the show so much fun. Blu is a true jokester who is always looking to cause some type of trouble. Mr. Herriman, the head of the imaginary friend's house, is always attempting to stop Blu's antics, but the two still seem to get into trouble at all possible corners. I think that this show is an excellent show for kids and I love to watch it with my younger siblings.

What a party we have right now at Urien's residence. Bunch/ GRoup of Filipinos once more cheering for Manny's victory. Go, go, go, Manny! Photos later...alligator!

What a blessed day with the smile of Mr. Sunshine! As always, we attend the 1st service at church. T'was a great food for our soul, I mean the message from the Pastor to his Shepherds.

I love my job. Simply me dealing with customers. One time, I was trying to register someone for a class. Suddenly this lady had this sneezing effect  to the maxed in front of me. What can I say? She said sorry though for spreading her saliva...have a good day!

Time flies and it's the third week of April, the Lent season. Friends and I are thinking of attending the sunrise service for the Resurrection day which is Sunday.

I was just hanging out with my friends Bob, Kenny and James. They told me that we are planning on going out to eat tonight to watch the game. The NFC championship is always a great game of football to watch. There is typically a large amount of struggling as well as many teams that are underdogs winning big. Who doesn't love to see a great game of football?

The NFC championship game this year should be especially excellent. The ultimate match up that my friends and I are hoping for is that Chicago and Green Bay will play each other. Green Bay hopefully will win and go on to face Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl! While the actually likelihood of that happening is quite low, one can hope that it ends up happening. We decided that we would go out to eat because who doesn't love wings during a great game! Wings that are extremely hot make the game even better. While we are at the bar, I plan to watch the NFL playoffs in HD programming on Direc4u tv.

I hope that we have a great Super Bowl and many people get to see their favorite teams win!

Glad that I catch up with the IMORTAL. I only watch this soap on the weekend. Right now, I'm concentrating Kristine.


I love to watch Margarita and Julia, superdooper with  their katarayan to each other.
As I'm watching it, our girl said, "Mama, why are they so loud and mean?"

Ako untang tubagon nga adunay mga tawo nga gihimugso lang jud nga ganahan mangaway kay maybe because of boredom?....ahehehheh!

Well, I have my own version of explanation to my little kindergartner's.

I'm not sure if I can make it to my daughter's awarding day. I have my dental appointment this afternoon.

A friend also invited us for a salu-salo together around 2: 00 PM.

Well, during the 1st quarter, I didn't knew anything at all about this not until we have all the newsletter via internet.

Glad that our girl maintained her grades academically up to now, the 2nd quarter.

Way to go, girl! Bless your heart for making Dada and Mama so, so happy.

I've always thought that you can see the hand of God best in the rearview mirror. Looking back, it's easier o understand why He placed us in the home that He did; why he brought certain people and circumstances into and out of our lives; why He permitted difficulties and pain; why He took us to different places and put us in various jobs and careers.

It's our tradition to celebrate Christmas in our home. I suggested to my dear Hubby if we can just eat out so we don't have to use much of our time, energy, and effort in preparing so. I mean, for him specially. But he insisted to follow the tradition as much as he can. There's no place like home celebrating the birth of our child...his principle. As usual, he is the chef cook and I was his helper. So, so happy that we are a family celebrating this special occasion. Praised God for all the blessings, good health and harmonious relationship. Merry Christmas!
