Happy New Year Everyone !!!

In the Philippines people light fireworks, loud firecrackers, booming sound system, bamboo canons as well as make a lot of noise. Coins are also jumbled in tin cans to make noise with the belief that this will bring more money to the revelers. I just remember that we do this with my family before. I just missed having New Year's Day to my family over there. There is a lot of parties when it's New Year over there. We have what we called Noche Buena ( meaning Good Night) if am not wrong we prepare a lots of food and we gathered and pray together and ate at 12:00 a.m. to welcome the New Year. Even though I missed my Filipino traditions I'm still happy and I am grateful for all the blessings and of course I am happy to be with my husband and his families here. We have parties here too and Ball Drop here in Michigan this is the first year that we have a Ball Drop here in Michigan usually we just watch on TV for the Ball Drop and count down in New York. I am so thankful up above for all the blessings He give to us through out the year 2008. I hope and pray that we will have a Wonderful and Prosperous New Year 2009. To all my friends, families,visitors and everybody wish you a Happy New Year!!!

* Feed using diluted flowering plant food. Read the package directions for fertilizing instructions.

Types of Orchids :
Phalaenopsis or moth orchid: white, pink, red or yellow flowers, bloom for months - needs medium light.
Dendrobium (picture) : white, green, yellow or maroon, flora last for six to eight weeks - requires bright light.

Jesus Is The Reason For The Season

With 2 days before Christmas, REMEMBER :
Jesus is Better than Santa
Santa lives at the North Pole,
JESUS is everywhere,
Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water,
Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever-present help,
Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks... and then enters your heart
You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as you mention of His name,
Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS let you rest in His arms,
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is " Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads,
JESUS has a heart full of love,
JESUS offers health, help and hope,
Santa says " You better not cry "
JESUS says " Cast all your cares on me for I care for you,
Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mend wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and build mansions,
Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength,
While Santa put gifts under your tree,
JESUS become our gift and died on the cross,
It's obvious there is really no comparison,
We need to remember WHAT Christmas is all about,
We need to put Christ back in Christmas,
JESUS is still the reason for the season.
May the Lord Bless and watch over you and your love ones this Christmas 2008
And may He prosper and bless the work of your hands in the New Year 2009
Love and Prayers

Easy Tips on Finding Clothes That Fit And Flatter

The most important trick to dressing well has nothing to do with the latest trends. The key is fit. But getting the right fit isn't always easy as you knowing what size to look for on the label. So, what you should look for?

* Don't settle for anything less than the best fit. Whether you wear a misses petite or woman's size, you're clothes should not pull or gape. Clothing that's too tight or big doesn't hang properly, throwing off the line of the garment, no matter how fashionable it look in the window.

* When shopping try on different styles from same group or collection. Also try sizes smaller or larger and larger than what you think will fit best.

* Select coordinated separates if you need a different size top and bottom. Don't be afraid to try a petite size if you're 5'4" and under or have a proportionately shorter waist, rise or inseam. Similarly, don't hesitate to try a woman's size if you have a fuller figure or larger proportions.

* Spend sometime in the fitting room. When trying something on, stand comfortably in front a length mirror and check the front,back and side views. Start at the top and work down.

* Watch for wrinkle clues. Wrinkles often indicate there either to little or to much fabric. For instance. tight horizontal wrinkles probably mean the garment is to narrow while tight vertical wrinkles usually indicate that the item is too short.

* Since you aren't buying this new outfit to stand in front of a mirror, make sure it allows for a full range of comfortable movement. Raise your arms, walk, sit and stand. You should be able to do these things with ease.

* Certain adjustment are worth a trip to the tailor. Nothing throws off a beautifully-cut jacket more than sleeves that are too short or so long they doubles as mittens. The same is true for skirt and pant lengths. Sleeve and hem lengths are easy to change but altering the entire shape of any garment is often not worth the expense.

Another Philippine Victory !

Manny Pacquiao punished Oscar de la Hoya for eight rounds, his technical knockout triumph over the US superstar underscoring the Filipino icon's status as best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Pacquiao's speed and precision were too much for De la Hoya, whose left eye was swelling shut in his battered face as he declined to come out for the ninth round. The Mexican-American sat quietly on his stool as his corner decided he had taken enough punishment, and referee Tony Weeks officially stopped the fight. With the technical knockout, Pacquiao improved to 48-3 with two drawn and 36 wins inside the distance. Pacquiao, the reigning World Boxing Council lightweight champion, moved up two weight classes to take the lucrative bout with De la Hoya, a 10-time world champion in six different weight classes who fell to 39-6 with 30 knockouts. The disparity in size, most obvious in De la Hoya's four-inch height advantage, proved no handicap for the 29-year-old Pacquiao, who was ahead on all three judges' scorecards when the fight was halted.

Congratulations! Manny Pacquiao we are proud of your success and strong determination. I am sure a lot of Filipino are happy and proud too. My father is one of the biggest fan of Pacquiao. He is always excited of his fights and he never missed watch every one of Pacquiao's fight. It's funny :-) thay my husband was excited to tell me this morning that Pacquaio won the fight.

Snowing Like Crazy

Three days already that we have snow here in Michigan it's somewhere between 6 to 8 inches of snow right now. There saying we have snow on and off for the next ten days. Not fun to clean out drive ways, driving and going out in the cold but its nice watching the snow that all is white when you are just inside the house. Sounds like we are having White Christmas here in Michigan and its very very cold in here. I'd teased to my husband and sing to him " I am walking in the winter wonderland ". My hubby doesn't like the snow or cold, he rather be in the Philippines where its warm. He said to me he is born in the wrong place. I am here with a big snowball :-)

Stress Less

* Try the 4-7-8 breathing technique. Inhale through your nose as you count four, hold for a count of seven, the exhale through your your mouth for a count of eight, says Ronal Stram, MD, founder of the Center For Integrative Health and Healing in Delmar, New York.
* Wake like a tortoise, not a hare. " Walking gently sets up your day to be more peaceful". Change your alarm from a loud blare to a softer tone. And set it for 10 minutes before you really need to get up so you can wake at your own pace.
* Balance carbohydrates and proteins. Knowing that carbohydrates can relax and protein energizes equips you to make better food choices so you're at the top of your game all day.
* Chew gum. Research indicates chewing gum may reduce anxiety and help with focus and attention.
* Relax the old fashion way. Soak for 12 minutes in a warm tub with 2 cups of Epsom salts.
