The Biggest Loser

Don't get me wrong! I can't live without a TV, an Internet and my cellphone at home. Okay, enough with that awkward truth! Let me tell you about The Biggest Loser show that I have been watching from NBC. The contestants are truly HUGE and it's not a laughing matter! Being BIG has it's downside, health wise! They are huge and each one is aiming to become the biggest loser in weight!

I know that a lot of you have the same problem. Who doesn't love to eat good food right? My metabolism is fast, as what my friends say. Though I love to eat, I maintain my below 100 lbs. NOT REALLY! I have belly fats! You know why? I don't exercise and I am getting to be a couch potato. This is the moment of truth and I bet, everyone of these contestants started this way. We NEED to exercise and watch out our food! We need to SWEAT and get RID of the toxins out from our body! We should DO IT NOW! Not later and certainly NOT tomorrow! Avoid Procrastination because it won't do any good for your HEALTH! Watch the show so you will know how important it is to have a healthy body! DO IT!

Super Moon

I wanted to go outside and take a good shot of the Super moon tonight but, I don't want to fool with the home alarm, lazy me. For that reason, I took this picture a minute ago (almost midnight now) from the window in the kitchen area.It's blurry because of the tinted glass so, this is all I can share. A big hush about the moon tonight! According to NASA, the moon that we are seeing today is the biggest in almost two decades. They even described it as the perigee moon. NASA further stated that the last full moon like this "big" happened in March 1993. To know the difference that the moon tonight is 14 % bigger and 30% brighter, check the video below:

Blessings in Blogging

I usually blog about my blessings in blogging to inspire stay-at-home "mums and dadda" to consider blogging as a sideline income generating hobby. That's how I consider my blogging activity. For me, blogging is a hobby which I can pour my rants and extend my raves about anything. While doing that, I am earning enough to buy an iPAD if I wanted to, awesome huh? The woman below is Paula Deen, one of my favorite Food Network hosts. I enjoyed her cooking show and love love love her southern accent especially when she says "y'all" lol.

CSN website gave me a $200 gift certificate for an honest reviews on their beautiful and affordable products. While writing my posts with enthusiasm, here's the sweet exchange of my effort. These are products from CSN and I got it for FREE using the gift card that CSN gave me. My mom would be delighted to have all these durable, non-stick and awesome products.As I mentioned in my older posts, I love red colored kitchen wares such as pots and pans. Paula Deen's cooking set delighted my eyes and even if it cost more than a hundred dollars, was still eager to own this set.
I love the products of CSN and I am so happy with what I ordered. I would like to thank Cecile and Willa for sharing this company to me and to other bloggers. Please visit their interesting blogs too. If you are new to blogging, check out their Website for tutorials and excellent ideas.

Sendai and Prefecture

It's my first time to hear the place of Sendai and the word "Prefecture". I did my research online and here's what I found:

In Japan, a prefecture is the governmental bodies larger than cities, towns and villages. In this country, it has 47 (prefectures) sub-national jurisdictions which are subdivided into cities and districts. Each district is further subdivided into towns and villages. The elected governor is the chief executive in each prefecture.

Anyway, Sendai is the capital city of Miyagi Prefecture, one of the hardest hit and suffered total devastation as tsunami hit Japan. Sendai is located in the Northeast area of Japan. I was just overwhelmed with sadness upon seeing "The City of Trees" turned into piles of debris when the Tsunami hit the place last Friday .

I snagged the above picture from yahoo showing the debris floating near Sendai. Three years ago on the record, this place has a population of more than a million. My question is: Where are the people? After the tsunami that hits Japan last Friday, most part of the place was wiped out from the earth. This devastation will count months to pull the place back into normal. Let us help Japan!

Japan's Tsunami

My phone alarmed at 5AM and I turned on the TV for the early morning news. I just can't believe the jaw-dropping images that I saw on TV. Raw videos and Live telecast unfolded as the news covered the devastating 9.0 magnitude mega Earthquake in Sendai, Japan. There was one video which was mind blowing and unthinkable that for less than 1 minute, the water swallowed the whole place like miniatures. I snagged this photo from yahoo page and the force of the Tsunami made this possible! Unbelievable!My husband and I just sat in the living room Friday morning with disbelief! It was heart breaking to see the Japanese in this situation that even though they are well prepared for major earthquake, the nature just strikes with so much force and it's beyond control with engineering. I wonder what will happen next? How will this event impact the economy of Japan? For sure, it will have a great impact to the whole world. I am hoping though that this tragedy will bring people closer to their family and friends. Who knows what tomorrow brings right?

Discovery: Final Mission

I was confused by noontime when all of a sudden I heard a loud boom and the steel door banged so loud as if someone went amok outside! My husband turned on the TV in the living room and right then, I realized the source of the sound. The Discovery returns to Earth from its FINAL mission. The picture below is just to show you how tiny I am under this gigantic rocket display.Anyway, Discovery is the oldest flying space shuttle and the most traveled winged spaceship in the fleet. It has 39 missions and has been flying for 27 years.
The picture above was taken at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. We landed safely to earth, don't you think.

Showing the thickness and how huge the body of the rocket is. Maybe, on the last flight my hubby and I will be there. It will be held in June. Crossing my fingers by now.

Wood Swing Sets

Emilia is my little four year old little friend who loves to hang around in their community playground. It is just 5 minutes away in walking distance from her home. She loves to run, would really go crazy as she play the slides and monkey bar.I was with her one time when her mom asked me to watch her beautiful little girl for maybe less than two hours. When she is done with all those adrenalin activities, she would sit beside me on the wood swing sets and eat a tasty snacks. What an exciting and fun day I had while watching her play. Her mother told me that they are planning to purchase a swing set which they plan to install at their huge backyard. Emilia was grinning upon hearing the good news! She was so delighted because according to her, she can invite her friends over. How about you? Are you looking for a swing set? Check out the link provided here, you might find what you are looking for.

If Only

I have never been to Seaworld! I wanted to go because I can find a good deal and discounted prices in any tourist destination here in Orlando. The set back? I can't convince somebody to be with me :-( . My hubby wouldn't want to go with me because he lived here in Florida all his life and been to any of these attractions a millionth times. Too bad for me huh?

I will find my way to be there any time soon :-) how's that? If only my friends are here, we could visit these palces all day!

Online Activity

After my graduation in High School, I wanted to study in a University and get an IT degree. It was not realized because that year, IT was not offered in my school. I was disappointed but managed to get an Education degree anyhow. All through my University life, I never have a computer related subject. Therefore, Web design Essex is alien to me. My computer hands on started when I first acquired my desktop and that's how my Internet life was born. I basically learn the basics through hands-on and when I have problems, my brother would come on the rescue. Much as I wanted to know about computer related knowledge, I'm just too lazy to go back to school at this point. When I want to learn something about computers and related topics, I asked my brother or my friends. Sometimes, I read articles about the "how-to" on the specific topic. With my blogging and online activities, I manage to survive the hurdle of keeping my websites. So far, I managed to fix the glitch of my site by my own. My online activity has been a rewarding hobby and gives me the comfort to expose my rants!

Prayer of Righteous

Take time to talk to God. He is just right there waiting for you.

The following variation on the prayer was delivered by Mother Theresa when she addressed the United Nations in 1985

Make us worthy Lord to serve our fellow men throughout the world,
who live and die in poverty and hunger.
Give them through our hands, this day, their daily bread
and by our understanding love give peace and joy.Lord, make me a channel of thy peace.
That where there is hatred I may bring love,
That where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness,
That where there is discord, I may bring harmony,
That where there is error I may bring truth,
That where there is doubt I may bring faith,
That where there is despair I may bring hope,
That where there are shadows I may bring light,
That where there is sadness I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort that to be comforted,
To understand than to be understood,
To love than to be loved.
For it is by forgetting self that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven,
it is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.
Amen.

Walgreens Tampons Regular

This is a compensated post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have a good reason why I was so excited yesterday. Our mailman handed me two packages containing products which I ordered online and the other was a surprise package with Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products in it. I got a box of Walgreens Tampons Regular but, I was very repugnance to use it because I never use this kind of product before. I checked the box and learned that it is a biodegradable, a good indicator , right? After reading all the ingredients, I was convinced that Tampons is good for me. It is safe, very affordable compared to a name brand and I feel confident today because I don't have to worry anything! This product is recommended by Walgreens Pharmacist so, I recommend that you try it and support the Walgreens Way to Well Fund™. Walgreens will contribute to this Fund up to $3 million annually bringing preventive services to local communities. Some of those services will include preventive health tests through the National Urban League Health and Wellness Tour.

Charlie Sheen Shines No More

As of today, the latest news about Charlie Sheen is really devastating that could be a reason for his career to end.Authorities remove his sons from his house following the event over the weekend. Brooke Mueller said that Charlie Sheen threatened her saying, "I will cut your head off, put it in a box and send it to your mom," What a scary statement indeed and the court acted what is right for the safety of Brooke Mueller and the children.

I wonder if he is thinking clearly about what's going on around him. He is into himself too much and started to believe in all his lies. That's what drugs can do to people who has everything and wanted more for himself. Charlie Sheen is Insatiable of Fame and Fortune! For him to realize all these goodness of Life that he have is to go DOWN. This is the moment of his life where denial and defense mechanism will be his friend.

Too bad, there are so many celebrities who wasted their life on drugs! He is One of them!

Criminal Minds

This team is my favorite. Hubby and I watched every episodes of the show and we have our own favorite. Hubby likes JJ. Each characters are unique but, the character of Penelope Garcia portrayed by Kirsten Vangsness is what I adore the most.

Penelope is the girl at the far right in the picture. She is the FBI's Technical Analyst and very good in her character. In fact, in Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior , she retained her role. If you haven't seen this show, I highly recommend that you watch it.

L-R Characters: Dr. Spencer Reid, Emily Prentiss, Derek Morgan, Aaron Hotchner, David Rossi, Jennifer "JJ" Jareau, Penelope Garcia.
