Special Effects
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
This special effect is very cool, they showcase how they make it possible for everything to be very believable to the naked eye. It amaze me how technology goes now a days, unbelievable! They told us some Hollywood secrets during the tour how they make things seems like magic.

A girl from the audience got the chance to demonstrate how they make those special effects in movies:




Amazing isn't it? It's really fun to learn new stuffs especially the one you see in the big screen.

It's always good to share your blessings to those who are less fortunate. I remember way back in High School, we're conducting different fund raising's for the school club, because for whatever amount we collect we get the chance to help a homeless kid and then recently to my work, we conducted a fund raising project to save those babies with birth defects, we are the official sponsor of " March of Dimes ", it's fun though because we got the chance to wear jeans and tennis shoes in exchange of $25 donation. Our themes are baby blue and pink for that, we even have certain products like beanie babies for $6, for every purchase of those beanie babies our company match them up so in short their saving one baby for every beanie baby purchase.

It's really fun to help, as I was browsing the web I ended up in www.schoolpop.com a website that helps you get more school fundraising ideas this time they give %20 for your school for every purchase, so if you shop more your school will get more. How fun, right? www.schoolpop.com made everything fun and exciting, a new way to help and shop at the same time. So, what are you waiting for? JOIN NOW!

www.justblinds.com
I always wanted to add some decorations in the house, I'm thinking of putting some curtains in every window but it's not gonna convenient for us since I have to set it up myself and get them hem but my husband think that it's better to put blinds instead of curtains. I believe it www.justblinds.com they are offering different types of blinds, which is very convenient if you are in a budget. They have faux wood blinds that will fit in my Asian culture, I always add some Asian touch in our no matter what.

One thing I like about this website they are offering wide selections of blinds, they also offer free shipping and even FREE SAMPLES for you to see! I have a feeling that I'll be thrilled to there blinds. Me and hubby is so excited about our plans of purchasing new blinds at www.justblinds.com

But so far so good, thanks to Les and my godmom that made everything possible lol.

On our first day, we had dinner at my godmom's house, my relative is already there waiting for us and my ninong just picked us up at the airport.

Salerno's Restaurant
Sunday, April 27, 2008
We had fun exploring the foods at Salerno's, an Italian Resto located near our place. It's my first time to be there and I'm pretty excited to taste what they got. To start off:




Broccoli and cheese soup/plus some ceasar salad








They got Chicken Alfredo









I got some Grilled Shrimp, marinated in perfection w/bunch of herbs plus some pasta and eggplant on the side



This meal is the most amazing meal ever lol, I love it! Very scrumptious! Even though they soaked it to a bowl of olive oil, who cares! Those herbs made a miracle on these jumbo shrimps lol because they're heavenly delicious! Our meal taste really good, can't complaint about it. Then here's what we got for dessert:




Look how fancy this one? lol, It's like cream puff since it has flan inside forgot what it's called though...




And of course, last but not the least my old time favorite, their homemade " cremebrulee "


I really enjoy exploring new delicacies, hehe parang show davah? Hopping to different places just to try out some new stuffs lol, it's fun! The price is reasonable enough for all the foods that we got. We love exploring good foods around the metro!

Z Bar
Saturday, April 26, 2008
It's been few weeks now that me and hubby, been hanging out every Friday night @ Z Bar, order few drinks then watch hockey at the same time. It's a bar and grill, a cool place to hangout! They also offer live band during Saturday night, and it was jam packed most of the time. Last night, Hubby got there first since I'm such a couch potato, M's friend came to visit for an hour so we got the chance to chit-chat for a bit.


The place is loaded and you can't even talk since it's loud but me and hubby got the chance to chillax though despite of the loud noises, since we have our own lil'world. Then all of a sudden there's these 3 girls who arrived at the bar around 9:45, shouting and laughing obviously they're one of those " wild girls " who loves to have attention. They where playing R&B music and they're the only one dancing at the bar, one girl is just shaking her booty in the chair everybody's eye's are glued on her lol, I can't helped but stare because I've never seen somebody did that haha! It was funny though, because they keep on shouting at each other while they're talking! If you'll notice at the pix, I'm talking about the 2 girls sitting in the bar. I got the chance to take some pics when they are most behaved lol. Then as time goes by, they got drunk and they have to carry the other one back out lol it's funny because she keeps on falling down on her seat. We're just praying that W & M, will not be this wild when they grow old lol...

While watching the game me and hubby enjoyed our ...





Queso Dip




After few glass of frozen margarita, we ended up ordering some heavenly dessert:





Four Layered Brownie with whip cream & ice cream on top



I went home earlier since I'm too tired plus I have work this morning, I'd rather sleep than stay late unless I don't have work it's fine with me. To be honest I'm cranky when I don't get enough sleep lmao.

Dallas Auto Show
Saturday, April 12, 2008
We went to the Dallas Auto Show at the Dallas Convention Center yesterday, the kids had a blast. It's my first time to attend this kind of event and I find it very interesting since I've been seeing different types of cars. My kiddos enjoyed it most since they got the chance to see the 2 Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, I was surprised to see them there but Ford made it possible since they came up with a Dallas Cowboys Car, so if you're a die hard fan this is the perfect one for you.




The new Mustang, I forgot what it's called but this is what W, dreaming of lol we're talking about a $35,000 for this precious toy!






The Lincoln MKT 2009 Model - grabe my stainless ang seat nito lol kakatkot kung tamaan ka ng kidlat jk!







The new Audi I forgot the name lol sa dami










The new BMW











The new VW Passat Wagon, M's driving it lol. They also feature the new VW Tiguan, which is coming out 2 weeks from now so me n' hubby are very excited! This is a smaller version of a Touraeg, the base model cost $ 25,000 which is not bad but if you want the lux edition we're talking about a whooping $ 35,000 - 45,000 grand, whoa!






Here's the funny one, I dunno if this is a big jk or what. They call it Smart Cars! A very small car, it looks like a toy to me they said it's safe but heck if a muscle truck just drive straight to me, I'm not sure what's my chances of survival using this itty-bitty car! When I saw this car, it reminds of the cart that you use in the grocery when you have a baby lol.





Here's some more highlights:

Hale
Friday, April 4, 2008
Three or Two days ago we had a storm, tornado and hale. Everybody got the chance to recuperate after that harsh weather. I'm scared because we have to shutdown our office because the tornado just touched down to our area, the siren keeps on going on and on.. It's my second time to encounter tornadoes here in the States and I hate it, it's worst than our super bagyo in pee-eye lol.

After several days it was beautiful and sunny outside we don't even have any problems at all until yesterday around 3am while everybody is asleep, mother nature put her curse again loud noises is everywhere sounds like somebody's throwing stones in each and everyone's roof. Hubby peeked at the window and he saw tons of hale that looks like m & m's because of their sizes. We all got scared even the kids ran to our bedroom especially M, since she was traumatized due to the last tornado that hit us. The siren went on to notify all the people in the area about this severe weather.

We can't go back to sleep after that, it lasted for about 30 mins and we are all still scared because you'll never know what's gonna happen anything can get into worst. Then finally it stopped, so me and M went outside and we got this:

We all slept around 4am and took me a while to get back to sleep since my whole body system is awake lol. M, have to sleep with us since she was scared, in fact she started crying again but we have to comfort her that it's NOT A BIG DEAL!!! Kuno just to make her feel secured. I went to work at 730am this morning and I'm so tired lol, well all of us our in work are tired since we all did not get enough sleep *sigh*

What's in our Library?
Thursday, March 27, 2008
A Tag from: Mel

While visiting Mel's blog I saw one of her post about what's in her library, and I would like to do a tag about on what we have hehe... Most of the books that I will feature is my hubby's books. I don't have much time to read since I'm working and lot's of errands to do when I get back home so very rare talaga unless it really interests me.

Anyways here's what we have, very few lang since I'm not really into books lol:




Here's one of hubby's finest collection his books by Gary Larson. I don't like this books because mabigat pa sa cat namin sus me but for just a quick recap Gary Larson is the creator of The Far Side, a single-panel comic strip which appeared in many newspapers for fourteen years. I'm amused on how he did his comic strip.



Hubby's books again about the Dallas Cowboys lol and the Texas Rangers. I'm telling you once these sports are on he have his own world.








My cookbooks Better Homes & Garden and Authentic Recipes from the Philippines, I usually read them once in a while since I want to showcase a lot of different filfoods to my family.










I hardly watch tv so I rely on this mag, browsing what's new and what's hot. I dunno how we got the subscription but they send us monthly edition of TV Guide.









We don't have much books here in our place, most of them are in our storage lol. Feel free to grab this tag if ever. Have a wonderful Thursday guys!
