We are in the ‘ber’ months. It is starting to cool off, and before we know it, it is Christmas already. Time flies so past, huh? Last year I spent my Christmas with hubby in India. But I am not sure yet where I am going to spend my Christmas this year, here in the US or in the Philippines. It is because hubby’s schedule was recently changed. But wherever I will be, the spirit is the same. Two of my favorites about Christmas are the fellowship and food, especially the Christmas cookies. What’s yours? We surely are going to make Christmas cookies, with my sisters for all of our relatives, and us or with my mother-in-law. I have a recipe for Christmas cookies that I got from myrecipes.com. They have thousands of recipes, tips and how-to’s, and menus for all occasions that is why I go there to find easy to prepare and healthy recipes.

To the Middle East
It seems that our days in India are over, whether temporary or not. We have seen what we have to see, and visited places we ought to while there, and I am privileged which I am so grateful for. Have to move on. Middle east is very exciting for me too. I have several former college classmates and fellow engineers that work there. I want to know more about its culture (music, art, dress, and cuisine) and the beauty there is to share to those who stop to appreciate, or for those who want to see everything there is.

Great family fun time with Disney
When I was a child I didn’t know how to play bingo and other card games or games of chance. No one in our family did. But my classmate in grade school taught us how to play it and about the game rules and mechanics. She was pretty exposed to playing games and she was very good on it, that it was amusing. Those were the good days but since moving away from the place we were not able to play bingo again.
But now I just found out that there is a high-tech twist on an old favorite, the Screenlife’s Disney Bingo in DVD available for purchase at Amazon.com and Drugstore.com! It is kind of magical, very entertaining with the Disney clips and on-screen caller, and perfect toy and game to play with our kids for old times’ memories and for their new ones as we are spending time with them with this DVD game. It is not just a game for fun, but it actually sharpens our kids skills in colors, numbers, attention and wits in an interesting way by using the Disney characters all children (and us adults) love. I would definitely teach my own children like this for them to be alert and sharp and having fun with us. It’s very affordable. In the end, we win, we benefit in the results!
Imagine me without you
Imagine me without you. Imagine ourselves without God. Imagine ourselves without our loved ones. It is so hard to lose someone we love so dearly. I know it does not all end up here, but in the moment of losing we cannot help but stop. I will really miss him so terribly. I tried not to question Him or blame anyone, but surely days will be lonely again. Yeah we have to go on, but I will bring all the memories, for comfort.

Pet Social Network
Pets. Whose lives are not touched by the tender loving pets? I never imagined I could treasure a cat so much until I have had one for company. Aside from being faithful companions, pets are stress reliever, and add happiness and purpose to our everyday lives. How much more fun it is to have new friends of the same interests? I found a community online for pet lovers to meet and is called the Pet Social Network. It is not just to gain more friends who love pets, but also for the benefit of the pets. I found there all information about pets, from the members’ actual everyday experiences and expert advises. It has a lively discussion full of insights and all things related to pets to pet food and pet services. The pet food program of Zootoo.com is actually for the benefit of animal shelters nationwide. It is a very helpful resources and guide for pet lovers, pet care tips and connecting to other pet lovers. Come on let us join this good cause.
Elephant on the road
Namashtè! I just want to share these photos we took a while back. You see this man, he did not look like a beggar to me, but after all, we were strangers to the place. But our tour guide said that he collected money for the elephants, his elephants, or for the sake of the elephants, whatever it was. It was fine, we really were going for an elephant ride just for experience, which in the end, I found it so much fun. That day he had an elephant with him on the road carrying a load on its back. It was just one of those elephants we always see on the roads. What I like about this picture are his clothes and the silverware he’s carrying, and also his bag. Somehow I felt satisfied being able to capture them.
Frontier trivia of the day:

The best buy
There are a few things I want to have before I go home for a vacation. They are very essential for me. Well the things I want to buy are not ordinary; they are pretty expensive almost on all stores. But I recently looked into one online store, and I discover I could get the best buy from them. Pretty discounted items of the same products. When they have the best buy logo, they really are.
