Shopping Feedback

My friend and I went shopping for the Memorial day Holiday. Thank God I was able to get out and unwind for a little bit. We even stayed longer and have to time to bond. We rarely see each other since she is working and got a little one too. It's hard for us to jive our schedules. We all know that we go shopping during holidays because of big sales throughout the mall especially Macy's. Shopping is always womens weaknesses and we always find ways to save and regret whatever impulse decision we make. blackfriday helped show people that they can save money when shopping for Christmas by buying items during Black Friday, which is the day after Thanksgiving, which is very important for Christmas where we all give gifts to our friends and family shopping can be a problem with prices going sky high and you having a a big family. It is best to be prepare and blackfriday will show you where's the place to get great deals online.

Paul Offit, author of Autism's False Prophets

As diseases come up nowadays, we are confused and not know who to believe and not to. We have to do our part to be knowledgeable enough on what is going on. I found this video online Paul Offit, MD which is pretty informative. There are people who are trying hard to fight and stop it. They may or may not experience it they still work hard to stop it from spreading but Maurice Hilleman who is born into the life of a Montana chicken farmer, Hilleman ran off to the University of Chicago to become a microbiologist, and eventually joined Merck, the pharmaceutical company, to pursue his goal of eliminating childhood disease. Hilleman's mother died a day after he was born and his twin sister stillborn. As an adult, he said that he felt he had escaped an appointment with death. He made it his life's work to see that others could do the same. Hilleman's experience forms the basis for a rich and lively narrative of two hundred years of medical history, ranging across the globe and throughout time to take in a cast of hundreds, all caught up, intentionally or otherwise, in the story of vaccines.


It is so nice that in our world today we can still hear an inspiring and triumphant tale, but one with a cautionary aspect, as vaccines come under assault from people blaming vaccines for autism and worse. Paul Offit clearly and compellingly rebuts those arguments, and, by demonstrating how much the work of Hilleman and others has gained for humanity, shows us how much we have to lose.

Our trip to Alaska Part I (Road Trip)

Now I am so proud to say that i have been to the 50 states of United States of America (yehey!) . Our welcome signs throughout. Our trip was beyond our expectations. We are very happy with it. We actually flew from Tampa to Seattle, Washington 5 days before the cruise date. We rented a car and made a road trip from Seattle to Reno to visit a friend. On our way down, we stop at Columbia River Gorge in Oregon which was amazing. I have never been so close to a waterfall but in the Gorge I got pretty close, too bad I can't swim because water was freezing cold. Oregon is one of my favorite. It's simply beautiful. We want to stop to Crater Lake again yet the road was closed and snow were actually blocking the road. Next stop was Reno, Nevada. I think I've been to Reno more than anywhere else. It's just a cool city. We went to Virginia City not far from there. It's a cool little city and it's where the show Bonanza was filmed (not all scenes, I think). We want to go back to San Francisco, California but we run out of time. Instead we just drove back to Seattle, Washington. On out way back we visited Jimi Hendrix' grave site just a lil bit south of Seattle. (To be continued...)


Pictures will be added on the second part (Ray wants me to upload the New York trip pictures before uploading this one :( )

Police Gear website

All this years I have seen men in uniforms that are working hard and try to give the best service they can for us. They are all over the place to make sure we are safe. They are quick when there's accidents and I have seen so many accidents on side of the roads which is of course being taking care of by our men in uniform. In return we pay taxes for their great service. I stumble upon this website for 5.11 Tactical Shirts whose business has grown and changed greatly over the years and now serves the general public, military personnel, security professionals, and of course police officers (or anyone else who would like to buy from them). They takes the issue of security very seriously. Every time you send us your credit card number and your billing and shipping information, we use the industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology to prevent the information from being intercepted. Our computers are protected via multiple firewalls and "DMZ's", as well as the latest in anti-virus softwares so that your information is always secure. All credit card information is automatically encrypted once your order is placed. As of this date there has never been a breach of our system's security (and we plan on keeping it that way...)!

Can't Wait

I sure can't wait to share all my pictures from this trip. I am so excited this is my 50th state. We've been to the hardest states to go to (Alaska and Hawaii). Alaska is just fascinating. I finally see the real eagle (the AMERICAN EAGLE). The cruise is surely spoiling us on everything, the food is delicious, service is amazing and of course we are able to parteeeeeeeeeeee here in the ship at the constellation clib!!!

Wildest Vacation

Going out of town to visit some landmarks, national parks, beaches or just hanging out in the city we are visiting is a privilege. I never thought of me being able to visit so much places especially here in the United States. I feel so lucky that my husband has showed me so many places in such short period of time. Sometimes when we are driving and we just say a name of a city and we will tell something about what we did and what was our experiences on that particular city. We have our vacation pictures as our screen saver and when a picture showed up on screen we will like talk about that picture and have our memory freshen up. The other day our picture in San Francisco came up and it was us at the Golden Gate. We had so much time in San Francisco. We went to the Golden Gate, Haite and Ashbury (known intersection in San Francisco), Chinatown (huge place and I love it there), Crookedest Street in the World and of course the Fisherman's Wharf. There a lot of places to go to San Francisco and I can't wait to go back to visit Alcatraz so if you are planning to visit San Francisco you definitely need to visit this website Things to do in San Francisco to help you discover spot that you never heard before. Actually we've been wanting to go to San Francisco to visit yet we run out of time because we need to be in the Cruise at certain time or we will miss it. So we decided not to risk or we will be in big trouble. We will visit San Francisco next time instead.
