A friend of ours got a new RV, this is the second RV that they have. They cannot refuse the good deal they got for rv finance, not only that the price is very good the interest they got for their loan is very low. I think because of the large RV inventory, most of the dealer are willing to give away good deals just to get rid the vehicle from their inventory. My daughter likes to have one.. but not now. We don’t feel that owning one is for us.

I might consider owning a boat and RV can go second By the way Good Sam Finance Center is the perfect place to apply a loan for RV or boat

I started to get hooked to another game that you can find on Facebook.com. After Petsociety and Yoville, here is the the third one. I even set my alarm to wake up after four hours to harvest the grapes last night. lol I know I’m crazy.. and I shouldn’t spend time to things like this. But sometimes I need to unwind too.

I actually have piles of paper to file and mails I need to reply on my desk but I’m too lazy to do things. Even some request from my family for a listing of Rochester medical malpractice attorney has been set aside. I have this attitude that when I work.. I work hard and I don’t entertain any disc tractions.. but once I get distracted, it will take me a while to go back on the right mode. Hopefully before I go to bed tonight I will clean up my desk so I can start a clean Monday

As everybody knows, I’m one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and every year we have at least 3 assemblies that we attend.  The recent one we attended  is an international assembly and only happened once in every 5 years.  And since its international, various people in other countries are invited to attend. The Sunday attendance alone is 27,000+ and delegates came from 66 countries (if I’m not mistaken, it could be more).

And Lianne enjoyed the sisters from Japan and Korea because of their colorful outfit. This is her first time to attend the International Assembly. By the way find out who is my son’s new mommy during our vacation in LA.

This is how I feel almost everyday. I start changing my work schedule last week so I can pick up Lianne after school. My work hours before is 9-10am and now it’s 7am.. it was a big adjustment for me.  I go back home on my lunch and get Lianne around 12 noon and go back again at work by 1pm. My work is 12 miles away from home but still driving makes me tired.  I’m just thankful that my husband can dropped her in the morning instead of me again. I don’t need to take diet pill to help me loose weight.. because just keeping up with Lianne schedule (no lunch break) and doing house chore was able to help me shed some pounds.

This is another area of concern. Most youths realize that the so-called hard drugs can kill you. But what about so-called soft drugs, such as marijuana? Are all the warnings you hear about them mere scare tactics? In answer, let us focus on the drug marijuana.

Marijuana (also known as pot, reefer, grass, ganja, or weed) has been the focus of much controversy among experts. And admittedly, much is unknown regarding this popular drug. For one thing, marijuana is extremely complex; a marijuana cigarette contains over 400 chemical compounds in its smoke. It took doctors over 60 years to realize cigarette smoke causes cancer. It may likewise take decades before anyone knows for sure just what marijuana’s 400 compounds do to the human body.

Nevertheless, after studying thousands of research papers, a panel of experts of the prestigious U.S. Institute of Medicine concluded: “The scientific evidence published to date indicates that marijuana has a broad range of psychological and biological effects, some of which, at least under certain conditions, are harmful to human health.” What are some of these harmful effects? You can find more details about various drugs at http://drugabuse.gov/drugpages.html. Helping someone to start the change by coming to a drug rehab center can bring one to right path. Hope it will not be too late..

I can’t stop the breakout on my lower chin. I did some research and the adult acne I have that all showing on my lower chin is a hormonal acne.  Means that the culprit is my hormones. I read more materials that can help me to deal with this and according to the herbal medicine book that I have.. I need to add some supplements on my diet. And zinc is on the top list and follows by garlic. I hope this can help me balance my hormone and will stop my breakout.  Most acne can be cause by poor skin care and mine is far from it. I believe too that it’s really deep inside my body.. Hope this will help.

I just ordered this today from iherb.com and hopefully it will come on Monday.

I’m into researching nutritional health supplements that most ingredients are herbs and natural products.  For last two months, I’ve been hanging in forums that talks about herbal medicines.  It’s not that I’m sick, but I want to heal and prevent any ailments naturally.  I had allergy attacked and some skin problems and so far I was able to cure my allergy/runny nose by sniffing oregano oil in the morning but no success on my skin problem.  I also signed up in three health food stores so I can get discount when I need to buy I’m still active in looking for natural stuff and also aid to help in my weight loss.

This is one of the famous tourist spot in San Francisco. I really do not know why it so famous.. so before I go ahead and look for our door knobs replacement, I searched online for the history of the Coit Tower. And what I found is really fascinating! From now on, I can explain why this tower is so famous

From Wikipedia:

Coit Tower was built in Pioneer Park atop Telegraph Hill in 1933 at the bequest of Lillie Hitchcock Coit to beautify the City of San Francisco; Lillie bequeathed one-third of her estate to the City of San Francisco "to be expended in an appropriate manner for the purpose of adding to the beauty of the city which I have always loved".

Contrary to popular opinion, the tower was not designed to resemble a fire hose nozzle. This belief persists in part because of Lillie Hitchcock Coit’s affinity with the San Francisco fire fighters of the day, in particular with Knickerbocker Engine Company Number 5. Although the architects claimed to have no design precedent in mind, during this time Europe saw the construction of aesthetically designed power stations that could be claimed as prototypes (e.g.: Battersea Power Station).

The art deco tower, 210 feet (64 m) of unpainted reinforced concrete, was designed by architects Arthur Brown, Jr. and Henry Howard with murals by 26 different artists and numerous assistants.

The tower, which stands atop Telegraph Hill in San Francisco’s Pioneer Park, offers fantastic views of San Francisco including the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park ("Aquatic Park"), Alcatraz, Pier 39, Angel Island, Treasure Island, the Bay Bridge, Russian Hill, the Financial District, Lombard Street, and Nob Hill. The Coit Tower took 5 years to build.

I took this photo on my friend’s backyard. I like the contrast of colors.  Sometimes I’m thinking to just go in a place where I can keep on snapping photos and no one will think that I’m insane in taking photos of everything/details.

I have tons of photo that I haven’t share on this website and I will try to keep up in sharing. This is actually on my to-do list together with my task to finalize my search of wholesale term life insurance.  My husband and I are thinking to upgrade and consolidate our insurance coverage to only one company.  And I’m almost done on my task.

Why loosing weight is like a rocket science, very hard, that anybody wants but less percentage of success?  Does it really need a magic to loose weight? Or is it a mystery unveiled for us? Hundreds and thousands of weight loss products are available now in the market and all are promising a positive result of weight loss. Is this the magic that everyone is looking for but not yet found?  I admit that I’m one of these people who is searching for the “magic” of losing weight. 

Sadly, I realized that there is no magic for it.  Strong determination, education, planning, and commitment are the magic to bring one for successful weight loss. Diet pills can help one temporarily.. but the target is to make the solution long term.  So make a wise choice on what to take.  I’m proud to say that I already lost 13lbs for almost two months.. and I still have 60 lbs to reach my goal.
