Bayside in the Old City of Saint Augustine

It was my husband's plan that we will visit Saint Augustine, Florida. I had no regrets because the place is very beautiful, full of charm and rich in history.The pictures below were taken at the the bay side area of the Old City.Watching the boats sailing on the bay during the sunset was pretty relaxing. That is why when we realized that it was getting dark, we returned to our parking lot.But since it was dark already, we missed the turn and we were lost inside a residential area LOL! It was a hilarious experience because we were not the only one who were lost. We came to the parking lot after 10 minutes.We were inside a big place surrounded with tall buildings and it was almost 10PM, few people are walking lost too LOL. We saw security guards and we asked where we are, they said we are inside Flagler College. Just one turn on the left is the parking lot whewww!The place is very quite at night except for few bars open and some homeless walking on the streets. It was a pleasant vacation.

Inside Kennedy Space Center

Kennedy Space Center is known to be the gateway to space exploration. KSC is also the home to America's Space Shuttle and the place where the ISS-International Space Station hardware assembled from. Last July 08, the final lift off of Atlantis served as the end of the era of Shuttle Program. This is the viewing area, the closest place where a visitor can view the launch of a shuttle.
Above is the picture of the launch pad. This is the closest viewing area, beyond this is strictly for employees and scientists only. You may click it to get the closer look.
This is the Rocket Garden and it's very unique for obvious reasons.
The big building at the far end is the assembly area of shuttle. The wide lanes are the path for the Crawler Transporter. You know when the shuttle will be transported to the launching pad, Crawler Transporter is the machine that will do it.
If you visit Florida, do not miss Kennedy Space Center and that would complete your Florida Travel.

Decor and Arrangement

When we moved to our new condo property, I had no idea how to pull out together to make this room comfortable and jive to the kitchen area. This mirror was so heavy and finding a place to hang was really a big challenge. We are still in the process of re-arranging the furnitures and some decors at present time though.Here's the simple arrangement on the table top. A candle holder with blue candles to match the three vases beside the entertainment area.The close up wall decor, 6 sailing boats which the texture is a good balance for the room.Here's the three vases with some beautiful native "fancies" just to add the earth color condept of the room.I was inspired by watching HGTV's home design show. It's still on the process but, what do you think? Share your input and I greatly appreciate it.

Netflix Notice

Since my visit to the Philippines, we seldom use the unlimited DVD's plan of our Netflix account. But, almost everyday, I used the unlimited streaming in my laptop or TV using the Wii Console. Both plans, we only pay for $10+ and now, here comes the notice. Was I happy? Of course not! Netflix should give something back for those who are loyal customers. I have Netflix for years now and I have no problem with them. The DVD's are on time! Now, I will opt to Unlimited Streaming Plan than the DVD. I am disappointed but, it's their business strategy so, customers can only choose accordingly. For now, I will order an old movie which I wanted to watch again titled "LOVE AFFAIR" by Warren Beaty and Annette Bening. My last DVD from Netflix supposedly!

At Lowe's

On the first week of July, we keep coming back to Lowe's Home Department Warehouse to buy materials for our new rental income property. This store has almost everything that we needed for our property furnishings such as light fixtures, bathroom accessories and more.What I like about this store aside from the self service cashier area, the returns are easy to transact. We return the door knobs that we bought because it doesn't fit and change it with another product. Some of the employees are knowledgeable in their department but, we also encountered employees who don't know a thing and can't blame them. Well, we manage to find what we are looking for though.

July 4th, hubby and I went to Downtown Orlando to witness the newly renovated Lake Eola fountain display. Before the fireworks kick off, the fountain was turned on for the first time that features patriotic water, light and sound.It started at 9:30 in the evening with thousands of Floridians, visitors and tourists witnessing the said spectacular display. We all chant the countdown from 10 seconds down to 0 and the patriotic music started to play. Then, the water started to sway and the light display it's changing colors and we all watched with amazement. Young and old gasping with so much admiration and awe!
The lights in the surrounding area of Lake Eola was turned off giving emphasis on the Lake Eola Fountain. It was truly amazing and spectacular. The people living in this condominium building had the good spot to see this amazing activity!I would probably go back next year and witness the fireworks and fountain display! If you happen to pass by in Orlando next year, take time to be in Lake Eola Park. you will enjoy it!

A lazy Sunday

I was not able to go to church today because I had a terrible migraine. When I had this terrible pain, it's like I am dying! My head is so painful and I have hot flashes! My husband wanted to go to church alone and I was so happy because it was his first time to attend the mass without me. After lunch, I decided to get up and cool down in the bath tub. I stayed for more than an hour just soaking my body. The next time I know, I was feeling fine!Hubby asked me if I wanted to dine out but, I don't feel like going outside. Right then, a big storm passed by and the lightning was super scary it knocks down the electricity for seconds!I was glad we didn't go out that time and we waited until the storm passes by. We are lazy to cook for dinner so we decided to go to KFC and have a take out a grilled chicken meal. Then, we came back watching an old movie Casablanca and Forrest Gump. Today is just a lazy day that we both enjoyed! The pictures above were taken after the rain. I love the smell of the surrounding after the rain. It just smells sweet and tidy!

Provone Cheese

Husband and I loves any milk-based food products and that includes provolone cheese and swiss cheese. We typically use it as ingredients in all our cooking recipes. For breakfast, we love to have a scrambled egg with lots of tomatoes and cheese in it. But, wait until you see this Mexican egg skillet which I think, one of the tastiest breakfast ever. The ingredients that we love is put together in this recipe. The mushrooms and bell peppers make it delicious and very filling topped with cheese. I am planning to prepare this breakfast tomorrow and I am glad to find the ingredients and the procedures in this recipe.If you are interested to have this meal, just visit the Website for more information. Here's a friendly reminder: don't skip your breakfast!

Final Launch of Atlantis

This is a close up picture of the final launch of Atlantis, so awesome! We all join the countdown from 10 seconds to the sentimental lift off! Then, everyone saw the light as the Atlantis ascended to the sky. Everyone is cheering and in great awe!It was memorable because it was my birthday, I requested my husband that we should go to Port Canaveral and watch the final launch of Atlantis. He was hesitant because he doesn't like big crowds! It was believed that there are a million plus visitors who will be coming over to Kennedy Space Center. I tried to explain to him that we could stay in Coco Beach or on the Bridge after the Merritt Island! The picture below is the launch pad inside Kennedy Space Center. If you visit NASA, the tour will stop right where I took this picture. No one can get closer to the launch pad except the employees for safety reasons! I am standing on the LC Observation Gantry where I can view the Launch pad, the crawlerway and the Vehicle Assembly building! We saw this Rocket Garden even though we are 15 minutes away from Kennedy Space Center. And it's hard to be inside NASA because when you get out, it's not a fun experience. The traffic to get out is terrible and if you have no patience for that, it's not worth it! I was there! I witness the historic event of mankind! I just hope that their mission will be successful and the four astronauts can comeback to earth safely!

The Fourth of July

Two years ago, I was in Mississippi watching the fireworks at the Front Beach in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. I can't remember what we did last year though but, we were here in Orlando for a short vacation at Disney. Then, we went back to Mississippi and on the way, my sister in law called us on the phone with a sad news, my father in law has died.He died of old age on July 06 at 91 old old. The last time we saw him he was alright but sad. Anyway, I miss him today and may he rest in peace.The picture above is a map showing Lake Eola in Downtown Orlando. It is the location of this year's spectacular fireworks display expecting 8o,000 people in the park. The night of the fountain display of water, light and sound! It was very beautiful and a spectacular presentation!Here is the amazing fireworks which lasted for 30 minutes together with the fountain display.As soon as the fireworks display finished, we immediately go back to the parking lot before the huge crowd start moving out of the park. The activity was exciting and fun. There was a singer singing the songs for the marines, navy, army and more. Over all, the activity was successful!
