The Orlando Citrus Parade will start at 11:00 A.M. Parking space is hard to find if you go there late so; come early to find a good spot. The last time, we park was near the city hall so; we had to walk all the way to Lake Eola. Hubby and I are excited for tomorrow's event. We will see you all tomorrow. Have fun Floridians!

Ang sa akin lang po, sana naman ibinahagi ang tulong para sa mga biktima ng tama. The flood victims were cold, hungry and thirsty for water. They waited for hours but, hindi nabigyan lahat kasi umalis na kayo pagkatapos ng video footage. Feeling nang mga biktima ginawa silang props para may maibalita kayo. Tama ba yun na umalis kayo at hindi nyo naibigay ang tulong na intended for them? Okay lang sana kung naubusan kayo, kaso marami pa pero di ninyo ibinigay. Sana hindi nyo nalang ipinakita sa kanila kasi torture yan eh. Here's another observation from a volunteer:

Since Day 1, my family was doing the best we can to make our 10 relatives feel at home to ease a little bit of their traumatic experiences. They live with my mom in a safe place in CDO. All of us do not worry of what's tomorrow may bring. What we worry right now is the other families that we know who have no place to go but stay in Evacuation Areas. Most of the victims who survived were now homeless. But, we can only do so much. For a start, I give up most of my clothes in the closet to distribute to some of the family victims. My relatives are victims but, they decided to help by bringing gallons of drinking waters to their neighborhood. Most of the people that I know are doing the same thing which is really heartwarming.
But, it is very depressing to see photos like these knowing that there were houses stood there before and now, it's gone. As of today, the death toll in Cagayan de Oro alone reaches a thousand and rising because there are hundreds of people who are missing.
We mourn today but, with the help you extend, we have high hopes that CDO will restore its beauty. Thank you for all your help and for responding to our desperate call. From the bottom of the hearts of the Cagayanons, SALAMAT JUD SA TANAN NGA MITABANG.
This is the item that you will get which is worth for $35 more or less.
As for me, I ordered this sleeveless for $12.99. Still not bad because it is free shipping and I have a secret reward. I end up paying less than $16 for the three items. I have to give the perfumes to my mom and the tops are for me.
I saw these beautiful Santa display in KOHL'S with a price tag at $43. There's no way that I will spend for that amount because I do not need a Santa decor but, when I went back yesterday, this was priced at $17 plus I have a $10 off coupon. So, I only bough the two items for $24. For me, it's a good deal. 
I think I began to appreciate it more when I have these decors in the house. I might collect some more each time I saw a good deal.
I just bought two for this year and I chose Icy Santa wearing a white coat ready for the winter season. The second is Countdown Santa who is wearing the traditional suit. He is wearing a list with stuffs ready for delivery. They look so cute.
Hubby loves the Christmas Village decors and I think I will continue collecting the Santa for the next years to come. Merry Christmas everyone! Check out Kohl's.com, they have affordable prices if you use the coupons that they have.
Electronic Touch Chess Game - I have been teaching first graders for 12 years and I know that they have the capabilities to solve puzzles and chess game tops their favorite. This is very educational as it sharpens their level of analysis and application. It simply develops their cognitive domains. They can identify the characters and how it works then, they can predict the moves. They can analyze the moves as well and plan what's the best move to win the game. So; instead of buying the games that promotes destruction such as guns, why not give them this game? This is only $34.98 at Walmart.
Razor A Kick Scooter- You should always think about safety when you buy toys for your kids. Bikes and Scooters are nice toys but, you have to be there when they play especially outside your house. If you live in a cul-de-sac or have a big backyard, you can watch them play. But, kids love adventure where they can use this in a big space. Spend time with them and let them enjoy this toy. You can buy this at Walmart for $29.97, good buy right? 
Disney Acoustic Guitar - If your kids love music then, give him a guitar. This is an on sale item at Walmart. For $18.88, you can have the savings to buy him other gadgets. 
Huffy Disney Toy Story 16" Boys' Bike - Okay, my bike is a Huffy brand and I just love it. I recommend this brand and because the customer reviews are positive, I might as well recommend this product. The design is classy and it's Buzz Lightyear, popular for the kids. For $49.97, this is a good deal! 
Note: All photos used in this post were snagged from Walmart.com. I am recommending these products because in the eyes of my nephews, these products are great! They love their gifts, what else can I say? Kids choice, price and quality matters the most! Buy it from Walmart because this store has the affordable price! 
We had lunch at UNO Chicago Grill which is located in 8260 North Wickham Road, Melbourne, FL 32940. Our server did a wonderful job and the manager tried to check on us if we enjoyed our meal. Of course we did! This restaurant is cozy and the ambiance is really great!
We love the food and though I only ordered two plates of appetizers, it fills me up bigtime! I ordered Stuffed Mushrooms with portabello, shiitake, goat and romano cheeses.
The appetizer that I enjoyed the most is the sauteed shrimp with white beans and breadsticks.
That is Atlantis, the big building shown in these pictures. The cruise terminal is very clean and the water is deep blue, no trash at all.
We visited the Atlantis in the morning and came back to the ship at 3PM. Transportation access is only $4/person which is very affordable.
From the Atlantis, hubby and I decided to take the ferry and it's only $3/person. The ride was enjoyable and interesting. The water is really blue and clean. No sign of crude and trash in the water.
I love this place. If I am rich, I will buy me a property here and stay half of the year just relaxing.
Atlantis, the Paradise Island in Bahamas is a huge place complete with all the amenities one would ever wish for a great vacation. It is an expensive place too in fact, for Holiday dates, the cheapest room is $319/day. Whewww! 
We went to this location yesterday and I love the place. It is newly constructed (2007), poured concrete and the space is a good size. The home owners fee is very affordable and the neighborhood is very quiet. It is nearby the area of NASA facilities.
This is the first townhouse that we bid and I am hoping that they will accept our offer. There is a short sale though so, it may take a long time to process. But, we are okay with that because we are not in a hurry to move.
I already pack some of our things and I did not bother to unpack it. Anyway, this is an ideal neighborhood to live and I like it because it is nearby Orlando.

"Sa mga taong hindi naniniwala sa Diyos, galit sila sa kanya!" Of course, his detractors started attacking him because of this. It seems that praising God is a big NO-NO! What is the matter with this people? The more people love him and adored his achievements, haters and atheist react! It offended them every time Tim Tebow praises God. " Parang nasusunog ang kaluluwa ng mga taong di naniniwala sa Diyos. Dami talaga makikitid na utak sa tabi-tabi". 
Despite his achievements, Tim Tebow is humble and honest. When he answered truthfully about virginity question saying he is still a virgin, his answer was scrutinized. "Dito, parang mali kung ang tao ay virgin pa! Ano ba naman, twisted ba ang utak ng mga detractors na ito? Eh, sa atin, saludo tayo sa mga virgin pa, dito parang nandidiri sila?" His detractors tried to break his character but, Tim Tebow will soar high with achievements. Every time he did a good job during the game, he bend down his knees and praises GOD. He gives total reverence to GOD. While fans and spectators cheered him for the scores he gave to the team, he praises God. That is admirable and Christians are so happy for that. "Pinoy na pinoy po si Tim kahit Amerikano sya! Kaya, bigyan natin sya ng suporta, manalo o matalo man. Wag maniwala sa mga bintang!" By the way, he visits the Philippines frequently. His parents are Baptist missionaries and they built a ministry in Pinas. Tim was Born in Manila, Philippines. Yayyy! Go and check it!
At Walmart, it is $699.98 but, with a value bundle: Canon Bag, Bonus 58" Tripod, Bonus 4GB Memory Card and 50 bonus prints. This is also a good deal right? While at 
Well, these are the expensive stuffs that I have been watching the price for months now. I love the color red for the DSLR. If I can find a good deal with the D90, I would really love to buy it. I would definitely buy the DSLR than the Coach (",). I check Walmart and Bestbuy for electronics and I thought these two stores have the best prices. Do you have any suggestions?

There were three young men doing the surfing up ahead. These waves are dangerous in fact, there were warning signs along the entrance to avoid the water for strong currents and rip tides.
There were few people on the beach having a sun tan and one couple just walk down the shore. From time to time, there were motorists stopping by to take pictures of the big waves.
The shorelines were a mess pushing these sea plants off towards the shore. There was no storm but the sea was rough. I cannot imagine how devastating it would be if a hurricane hits this place. 
I saw there were really affordable prices on the last minute cruising. It was actually half of the regular price so, since the four of us had free time to go, we book it. We are all newbies in cruising to Bahamas that is why, we love it. The picture above was taken inside their elegant STARDUST THEATER located at Decks 6 and 7 in the Aft section.
The Hallway heading to the Mandara Spa and Salon at Deck 11 in Fwd Section of the Norwegian Sky. We were just exploring to the different decks to familiarize where to go for special events that day. This way, we had the terrific adventure to get a feel for the ship. See the crowd below? We went to Stardust for the show called: On Broadway, the Sky Production Show. It was a grand night and spectacular presentation!
Freestyle Cruising is an easy, carefree cruise experience with top-notch crew members and most of them came from the Philippines. I would say 90 percent are Filipinos in fact, the Cruise Director Richard Matic is a Filipino. He is the brain behind all the entertainment and activities on the ship.
The picture below is the hallway heading to Stardust Theater. We did rock the night away during the first day! The show in Stardust was spectacular because of the sounds and music from soul and folk to rock n' roll. The pictures and videos were not permitted during the show though.
After the show, we went to Dazzle's Nightclub at Deck 6, mid section to enjoy the show called Sing it, If you know it. We had fun with this crazy game where we had to guess the song and again, the band came from the Philippines too. Oh, they were awesome! 
Buying a house is so stressful and it will consumed your time and gas money. If you are not patient, you will end up buying the property which is not your dream house. It will go back to what kind of house you are looking for. If you asked me, I prefer a two storey building but, it also depends on the budget and the location of the property. I want my property that is located in a neighborhood like the picture above or better. I want to see neighbors!
Location- it is really simple. Do you like a quiet location? Let us sub task the location such as: quiet neighborhood with neighbors that is located in either side of the property or quiet neighborhood because your property stood across the woods? If you hate the traffic, you probably prefer the woods as your neighbor night? Well, just make sure that hospital is nearby or grocery is with in the driving distance. It is easy to buy a house but, to re-sell it in this economy? You will sweat a lot to sell in the market once you learn that it will not work for you.
