A day in Santa Cruz

It was such a beautiful day to spend the day. We make the most of the wonderful we have. Hubby and I went to see the beach and just relax. Mostly we were seating at the trunk of the car facing the ocean and loving the same talking to our future and ideas. It was a very pretty cool scenario.

The weather was starting to cool down 2 hours before sunset. I was not able to see it but it was such a lovely day.

So many disasters

What's happening in the world today? There's just so many sad stories on the news. Recently, tornado hit Joplin, MO. It caused so many lives, other homeless and many missing. Disasters can be so bad in the US economy. Struggling from the chaos of politics and economy barely improving another bad phenomenon is just hurting the country. Just yesterday, another tornado hit Kansas and it's neighboring state. Tornado alarm was spreading the neighbors like Texas. A friend of mine who lives in Texas sent a message in Facebook about the warning. Such a devastation crippling the US.

I don't know what's going to happen but I am thinking positive for the future of the country and it's people. As an american naturalized I am proud of the country but I am hoping for the best that politics and business people can do good improving the country well with the disasters going on, wars and others.

I wish prayers for the victims of the calamity and I hope they could survive in this time of struggle. I could only extend them my prayers. I know it works miracle.

What's My Car

I have been driving my very first car since 2007. It’s a Chevrolet Equinox year 2006. I got it because of it’s size. I feel good with American cars too. I don’t want a standard size. This was agreed upon by my partner which he strongly advice that I should get this big because he was thinking forward about possibilities of me getting hit very badly in an accident. The car size is perfect. It has room. If by no means things could happen unexpectedly, the size of the car could probably save me for big damages physically and emotionally. It’s not too small and not too big.

Since driving it for 4 years I don’t have big issues with running it. Actually, it’s been doing pretty good. I of course intend to get the car well maintained from changing oil and never get the gas tank dry up. The only concern that I had was the check engine light due to gas cap issue. I bought a different gas cap where you could lock it up. These days you need one to prevent from getting rob. But I guess the vehicle won’t like it. It will light up if I will not use the original cap. Recently, I tried it one more time but this time I made sure I have the original cap handy but just put it in the same compartment. Luckily, the check engine light never comes on. It might be working this time. I am crossing my fingers.

Since this has been the issue for my car, I searched online using repairpal and see other customer who’s driving the same car as mine. It’s good to know that my model doesn’t really have that big issue and just the gas cap problem is just nothing to compare with other vehicle. So far, it’s been doing great and I like the performance.

Festival

I love going to festival. It's more fun to see different kinds of displays from arts and crafts. Not to mention the good food and drinks. I recently went to Campbell last Sunday. I had a great time with my husband. We hopped from one booth to another. From the start of our walk, hubby told me that probably we could get a very good balsamic vinegar this time. So I said yes probably and hopefully we could. Lucky for us, we found this very nice vendor and their products were great. Tasted a couple of sample and we bought one small bottle for $12. It was quite expensive for just a small bottle. But it was just delicious.

The festival held in Campbell was the smallest venue I had been. But it was nice, I don't like walking far anyway. It was the very first venue that we're able to finish the whole scene of the event. It is because it was just a very short walking distance. Overall, I had a great time with what I saw and glad we were able to divert ourselves to get there.

Protection with Good Deals

There is no better means of protecting yourself from thieves or robbers by getting a security system. Yesterday, I saw this movie Panic room over the supreme channels I subscribed from Direct TV Deals and the movie was very interesting. The story of the movie was focus on a mother and daughter who recently rent a beautiful home in Manhattan. The house was built with a very sophisticated system. The panic room was the bonus room which was located in the master suite to protect the owner of the house if bad things could happen. The movie portrayed how secured the room was and having security system like that was very beneficial to the owner when the house was robbed. But, it’s just a movie. Probably in reality there could only be 1% of the community can afford the kind of system. Maybe communities that built in luxurious areas like Beverly Hills or Malibu can avail that or can purchase to have it.

For us who only can spend a few dollars a month, we could go for a complete security system for a small fraction of our income by purchasing from Home Security BeverlyHills website. With some good discount on that we could stretch the money we spend by adding some deals through D3q. It’s just a manner of how important it is to spend the money with what’s very necessary. It will be nice to get yourself a protection plus an added factor to get some leisure over a TV deals. That’s more useful and fun at the same time.

Pollen

Coming home to work yesterday I made a little side trip to get drinks from Starbucks. I am lucky that I live close from work to home. I made the route to San Tomas Expy. Traffic was good not much cars to deal with. I went to a stop in El Camino Real and will make my left turn when I observed the wind carrying flower buds and it's all over the street. I had my window opened when I made the stop and I hurriedly closed my window when I saw what was happening. No wonder all the allergies from people will come to live when things like pollen and flower buds will be scattering and flowing with the wind blows. I was glad I had not sneezed at all. I was feeling fine. I arrived at Starbucks with no problem and got my drinks.

Watching the Emmy's

Guest post from: Denver Stephens

I'm nuts about awards shows, but my favorite awards show would definitely have to be the Emmy's. I always look forward to watching the Emmy Awards, because I really enjoy watching T.V. from Emmy Awards recognize great television shows, I'm always able to really get into the awards show, and I always have a strong opinion about every category.

Every year, I get together with my sister to watch the Emmy Awards. She isn't quite as big a television fan as I am, but she still knows most of the shows that are up for an Emmy, and it's always a great time for us to be together and catch up. We really enjoy getting together, whether it's at my house or her house, and turning on the satellite TV and watching the Emmy Awards together.

I love seeing the different celebrities during the Emmy Awards. There's always a fantastic host, but seeing all the presenters is also great. I also want to see the celebrities out on the red carpet, to see the different fashions and styles that they're wearing. It's a chance for me to feel like a celebrity myself! Another great part about the Emmy Awards, is that in chance that there's a television show that has been nominated that I don't watch, I now know of a new show that I can make part of my routine.

Spring is Here

I arrived from my trip April 22nd and the weather was fine. It was perfect as I recall. No rain and the temperature was absolutely good for me. I had a very exhausting trip. On my flight I slept longer of which I should have not been doing but my body was giving up. I was so tired.

Anyway, the day I arrived and on the weeks after the weather was just cool. I had felt one day of too much heat but it was just once. It was last week and I thought it could probably be the beginning of summer but it didn't. This week is a little bit cooler than I expected. Some sunshine with a cool breeze. It's not freezing but a little cold for me. But I rather have this weather than having to feel the heatwave. I am perfectly fine with the weather.

The flowers and pollen are every where now. People have experience allergies and I saw people at my job having those problems and I did a little but the pill helped me not to get sick. My hubby at times got his sneezing moment and taking pills relieved him from getting too sick. I am glad that it didn't get worst and I hope he will be okay all through spring and summer. For all the people who has common allergies, just take a lot of vitamin c and bring pills all the time.
