When my husband passed away 5 years ago, I did not know how to deal with my new life. Every part of my life had changed. I was now an old lady living all by herself. My children took turns staying with me for a few weeks, to make sure I was going to make it through the grief, but eventually that stopped and I had to start spending most days and nights home alone. After about two months of eating dinners and doing all the housework without a single person to share it with, I decided to get a companion. I adopted a little mixed breed puppyfrom the local animal shelter and started carrying on conversations with the dog, who I named Cinnamon, after my late husband’s favorite flavoring and scent. Cinnamon kept me entertained during the day, but at night I continued to feel all alone. Eventually I started to feel scared at night. I would lay awake and every little pop and crack from the house settling in for the night, made me wonder if someone was trying to break in. I called my oldest son one night and asked him to drive 15 miles from his home, to mine, to make sure no one was in or around the house so that I could get up and go to the restroom. The next day my son had an alarm system installed from www.inhomesecurity.net, and I’ve not missed a night’s sleep since the installation.

distance.
June 24th, 2010
The problem about migrating to a different country is that you missed out on special occasions of friends and relatives. Not unless, you have all thee time and money in the world then you can keep traveling back and forth.
This week, a close friend went home to attend her wedding 
. She has been one of my closest buddies for more than 10 years now and I am uberly sad I won’t be witnessing her big day. Good thing though, as I was able to help her find wedding accessories and that I have a special participation in her wedding. I will make a video which will be flashed on her wedding day. Wish me luck !

9 to go.
June 24th, 2010
Because of my liquid fasting and yes the stress and anticipation for my big interview on Monday, I am just 9 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight. Yipee! To add to that, I don’t crave as much anymore. I have developed a control on food cravings. I cannot even finish 1/2 cup of rice and if I do, my stomach feels very upset. Now my only problem is my flabby tummy, blame it to my pregnancy . Do I succumb and turn desperately on these stomach weight loss products? I don’t think so. As soon as my routine goes back to normal, I vow to exercise and commit myself to the 30-Day Shred workout. And I hope this time, I reach level 2 lol! .

missing dad.
June 24th, 2010
I miss my dad so badly.
If ever God will grace Us with this ultimate gift, I will make sure to come home next year and visit my folks. You see, my dad ain’t a techy and he doesn’t even have an email. When my mom is on the Magic Jack, he’s always out and I have no chance to conversing with him. I really wish I get to talk to him on a daily basis, talk and not text and find out what is going on with the e-cigarettes I have suggested as his alternative to the real one. You see, he has been trying to quit smoking for many years and I hope he does good this time around.

Just Doh it!

“Take it easy, but take it.”
Woody Guthrie
Ever since I got the call for an in-person interview for this 2nd dream job of mine, I have been very stressed. I may not look like I would be needing any emergency assistance because I still carry my stress with grace , but I have been losing weight already hee hee. Now that’s a good thing.
It’s just so surreal, everything seems to be falling in its right places and that God is truly listening to my prayers 
.
Then it dawned on me while sipping my coffee that yes, HE has been showing me plenty of miracles for the past 2.5 years already. I just don’t see it clearly but looking at where we are now, everything is a miracle.
I will give my best shot on Monday and I will leave it up to HIM afterwards.

Britney Spears Pepsi Commercial
June 24th, 2010
Post written by my friend Amie Klimas
My favorite commercial is the one Britney Spears did for Pepsi featuring Bob Dole a few years ago. I first saw it included with the previews when we went to the movie theater. Later, I saw in on Florida cable tvall of the time. The song gets stuck in your head and you can’t help but sing along. Throughout the commercial Britney is singing and dancing complete with backup dancers in a Pepsi warehouse. All of the characters watching Britney sing and dance on TV have hilarious reactions. The lady in the bowling alley tries to dance like Britney with amusing results. The Coca-Cola guys are drinking Pepsi while watching Britney. I’m pretty sure you’d get fired for that. The older gentlemen in the nursing home had to reach for his oxygen machine while watching the commercial. My favorite has to be the burger cook doesn’t notice his grill catches on fire while watching Britney and he still doesn’t notice even after the firefighters arrive, sirens and all. Bob Dole ends the commercial also watching Britney on the television. He was running for President at the time and the his appearance in the commercial was a smart move on his part, appealing to a younger generation of voters, and definitely made me like him more. It also made me want a Pepsi. I guess commercials do work.
