A place called [safer] home

Our home is a safe place on earth.

It is not just a place where we live but a place where “love” lives. It is not just a place where we go to and rest after a long hard day but a place where we always look forward to be with our loved ones. And it is not simply a place but a respite that will always have happy and unforgettable memories.

Our home is a safe place on the planet, both figuratively and literally.

There is no safer place like home, figuratively speaking. But to make it literally possible, it’s time for adt home security to protect our homes. And that, I believe is a place called [safer] home.

Why Does God Make Moms... keep it to yourself

If you have noticed by now, I have not really posted any descent article as I used to. Yes, I have an alibi. I was busy. Oh, screw that! I am running out of ideas... for real! Work is taking the toll on me and I am more into paid posts to earn few dollars for additional income.

But until now, I still can't think of anything good to write but my friend handed me out a piece of paper giving me a warning not to laugh so loud... and I thought of sharing it with you with the same warning... DON'T LAUGH TOO LOUD AND KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!

Answers given by 2nd Grade school children to the following questions:

WHY DID GOD MAKE MOTHERS?
1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
2. Mostly to clean the house.
3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

HOW DID GOD MAKE MOTHERS?
1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE MOTHERS MADE OF?
1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice int he world and one dab of mean.
2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string. I think.

WHY DID GOD GIVE YOU YOUR MOTHER AND NOT SOME OTHER MOM'S?
1. We're related.
2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's mom like me.

WHAT KIND OF A LITTLE GIRL WAS YOUR MOM?
1. My mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.
2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
3. They say she used to be nice.

WHAT DID MOM NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DAD BEFORE SHE MARRIED HIM?
1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

WHY DID YOUR MOM MARRY YOUR DAD?
1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my mom eats a lot.
2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that mom didn't have her thinking cap on.

WHO'S THE BOSS AT YOUR HOUSE?
1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goofball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOMS AND DADS?
1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.
2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
3. Dads are taller and stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.
4. Moms have magic. They make you feel better without medicine.

WHAT DOES YOUR MOM DO IN HER SPARE TIME?
1. Mothers don't do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO MAKE YOUR MOM PERFECT?
1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR MOM, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.

Oh well, our kids do really have a broad idea of what we are. In there eyes we are really special and they truly make us feel how special we are... with a dash of humor. Happy Mother's Day... in advance.

Bye Bye Good Old Boots

Spring is just around the corner but the lakes and ponds are still frozen. This is a good news to Hubby who has still a couple of weeks to enjoy ice-fishing. He just so love it. He only hates it when icy water gets into his old boots. I wouldn’t blame him.

Finally I was able to convince him to get rid of that old boots when I showed him Hankclothing.com website where he can find high quality boots. And good thing they are now on sale too. He got himself a pair of Muck Boots Woody Max Cold Condition Hunting Boots which he can also use during Hunting Season.

Now, it’s bye-bye good old boots… and hello Mucks

Dancing in the Right Tune

My nieces dream to be ballet dancers when they grow up. It could be in their genes since their uncle, their mother’s half-brother is a premier ballet dancer in the Philippines. They love ballet since they both started walking in tip-toes. Now that they are little older, my sister-in-law enrolled them in a ballet school. They just love it.

I enjoyed watching ballet myself that is why I am very supportive of their dream. And just recently, I got them new Ballet Slippers from CapezioDance.com. CapezioDance.com offers high quality dance outfits online from bodywear to legwear to footwear.

So if you are into dance and looking for quality dance outfits, check out Capezio and you will surely be dancing in the right tune.

Last night as we enjoyed our pork and beans supper, he was talking about the exterior shutters that he installed on the house he is currently working on.

He usually gets the shutters online from LarsonShutter.com and they are delivered or shipped free right at the work site because he has no time to go to the store to get them.

Oh, Oh, Oh… Vacation

The holidays may be over but the fun should not stop just because the holidays are over. Who said that you can only have a vacation during holidays? Who said that holidays are only the ones that you see in the calendar? And who said that you can only have a fun get-away during holidays? If you think that holidays are too limited, then you are wrong. You can create your own holiday and celebrate it the way you want it. Oh well, of course you have to schedule that to make sure that after the holidays, you still have work to go back to. The bottom line is… holiday is something you can have in your own time… in your own budget… and in your own way.

So what are you waiting for? If you are tired of your daily routine and need a get-away to recharge, why not have a grand instant vacation in one of the Columbus Oh hotels in Ohio? Check out TravelToday.com and you can find list of cool hotels in Ohio like the Best Western Franklin Park Suites where you can stay for only $99 a day. How cool is that? So what are you waiting for… book your next holiday even if it is not in the calendar… and get that oh… oh… oh… vacation that you rightfully deserve.

how to get a slice of pizza... in Maine

I had a long day today. I visited my only Filipina friend here in Maine and had fun eating rice, orange pork spare ribs with crunchy brocolli and deep fried smelts (the ones that we caught up at Gardiner when we went ice-smelting).

Hubby picked me up at around 7 pm. It started snowing again. Another snow storm was announced earlier so I was no longer surprised. The road was already covered with sleets and we missed the driveway entrance a few yards because the truck slided when my hubby hit the brake. It was really slippery. Then, hubby told me... "go bundle up, we are going down the trail" as he parked the truck in the driveway.


Reluctantly, I layered my clothes and wrapped my neck in fleece scarf. We were about to hit the trail... in snowmobile... in the middle of a blizzard... in the darkness of the night... in the deepest of the woods.Since I come here, everything for me is always the first time. And for the first time in a long while... I've never felt so religious that night than any night since I've been here. I was clutching the heated bars of the snowmobile so tightly while praying Hail Mary's and calling the names of my patron saints and my guardian angels as we twisted and turned and slided up and down into the frosted woods. It was awesome and scary at the same time.


We trekked about 20 miles into the woods in the cold blizzard that night and all of a sudden we found the sign... TO STANDISH PIZZA HOUSE. Gee, I didn't see that coming. We followed the arrow and found the pizza house about 5 miles.We found a dozen of snowmobiles parked in the parking lot. We thought the drive thru was a-okay... but we changed out mind.


Indeed, Mainers have different ways of having fun in winter (despite their constant whining about the weather). And indeed, they always have reason to go out... even if it is to get a slice of pizza.

That is why there are lots of social networks like Free Interracial Chat where you can find people from all over the world and start an amazing relationship. Who knows, your future life partner could be just be a click away.

One Hectic Day

I am a regular fixture at the YMCA now, since I started working here. I have no choice because I worked early morning and late afternoon at their North Berwick school site. So during the time that the kids are all in school, I have a long free time to do anything I want.

So I use my long free time working out in the gym… blogging… lesson planning… chatting… eating lunch… surfing the net… reading… making friends… and whatnot just to kill time.

So far I enjoy it… sort of. Well, I have no choice but to hang out here because it’s so cold out. There are lots of advantages in hanging out here at the Y [that’s how people call the place for short] because of wifi… I get instant internet connection and it’s free. I get to work out everyday and yes, it’s also free. The staff has free membership. I save money because I keep myself from going to the stores and end up buying unnecessary stuff. I meet a lot of inspiring people. And everyday is entirely a new experience. The only downside… I am beat when I get home because I am literally out of the house for 12 hours and I have to drive to and from work for 2 hours more.

Hectic day is the ultimate understatement of the year.
