I always love traveling. Seeing new places, meeting new faces, tasting different cuisine and enjoying a variety of activities are just few of the reasons that I love about it. If you go to one place, you will learn more about their culture and the lifestyle.

Last year, when my parents came here in the US to attend my sister’s wedding, we all decided to go to Orlando and explore the popular city.  We went there in a pack.  Can you just imagine a group of 10 people finding our way in the busy city of Orlando making sure we don’t lose each other while enjoying the trip.  It was a challenge.  We eventually got separated and we just have to call each other every now and then to keep in contact.  It was like playing hide and seek in a crowded place.

Every blogger’s nightmare is having an unreliable internet provider. Nowadays, no one has the patience to wait for dial-up connection and constant disconnection. On the other hand, every blogger’s dream is to own their own laptop for convenience and comfort of continuous blogging wherever they may be.

Since I got here in the US, Travis and I were in a not so pleasant financial situation. Not only that we have expenses with my Immigration Application but he also took the risk of leaving his job to venture to a different place (warm for my sake) down south. Unfortunately, it also took him about five months to get a new one. He was in between jobs while were there since the jobs that he got are all contractual. Those were definitely one of our tough times.

Summer is about to end. I have noticed that the wind is colder than it used to. When the sun hides itself through the horizon, the temperature seems to drop on the double. This cold weather has reminded me of two things back home-Christmas and working at Convergys. Christmas is always associated with cold weather and thick sweatshirts. The same goes when I was working with Convergys. Working in the evening with the airconditioning unit at its maximum definitely makes us curl to ourselves.

Last year was my first Thanksgiving.  Travis and I spent it watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade and we also prepared a small dinner for just the two of us.  It was memorable.  It will be one of those occasions that I will look forward to every year.  And of course, the day after Thanksgiving is something that I look forward to as well.  The only thing is that, Travis doesn’t want to be  one of those people falling in line early in the morning just to get the good deals on Black Friday.  So, I missed it.  I wasn’t able to shop on the day that prices are outrageously dropped.

Today, while spending time online, I decided to browse around and see if there’s a way that I can shop with good deals on Black Friday without the hassle of being in the line the night before and without the crowd.  I came across www.blackfriday.biz and found out that this site can definitely help me in planning to shop on Black Friday. The website already shows the different deals for Black Friday from popular stores as early as now.  I continued browsing through it pages and find Old Navy Specials, Best Buy Deals, and Macy’s Ads to name a few.  DVDs will be on sale for as low as $2.99.  It is a good site to check on those Christmas wishlist.  Magellan Navigatoin Unit, gadgets for Travis, branded clothes for my family and toys for my nieces and nephews are there on the list.  It just makes shopping easier and planning it as early as now by clicking on item to put on my list will definitely save me time.

Things just got better coz www.blackfriday.biz will show us which items we can buy online on Thanksgiving Day.  I’m sure Travis will approve of this.  This will definitely save us the time and effort not to mention avoiding the crowd while still getting huge discounts on various products.  Can’t beat that!

A beautiful house, a good job and a nice car are just few of my dreams even when I was a kid.  I’m working on getting a good job.  A beautiful house may not come too soon but a nice car is not far from my reach.

Here in the US, owning a car is a necessity, it’s no luxury.  You don’t have to be rich or have a good credit to be able to own a car.  Auto Loans are the path that will lead to your destination of driving your own car.  These loans come to you as a help when you are in need of extra money to buy the  car that you need.  Bad Credit Auto Loans will provide assistance even to those who do not have a not-so-good credit.  And the good thing is that, if you get auto loans online, you can get it easily in just minutes.

Gone were the times when you have to just dream and wonder when you can get your own car.  The time has changed and regardless of your credit history, you can get your dream car whenever you are ready to drive  it.  That new car you have been yearning for could be yours sooner than you think, even if your credit is bad!

Our life is full of memories.  And looking back at those good times in the past has always been my favorite pastime.  Remembering how it was like growing in a big family of 7 and we have to share whatever is on the table; going to school in a parada; and bringing pride and joy to the family.  It definitely gives me a wonderful feeling that reconnects me to my youth and to my family.

But how would you feel if you gradually lose your memory?  How is it like to no longer remember those precious moments?  It is like taking half if not most of your life away.  People with Alzheimer’s Disease or AD must’ve faced a lot of emotional stress especially on the very moment when they are diagnosed to have the devastating and progressive organic brain disorder.  AD has become our nation’s sixth leading cause of death. This disease may run in the family but anyone who had previous head injuries could also be a possible candidate.

So, what can we do to help?  Let’s leave the researches and studies to the professionals.  We can help by becoming a part of any support grouop for AD.  Let’s start by taking part of the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk.  The Memory Walk is the Alzheimer’s Association’s signature event for awareness and fundraising for Alzheimer’s care, support and research.  You can volunteer, invite your friends or exercise buddies and form a team to join the 2-3 mile walk which will be held on a weekend morning in the fall.  You can visit this link to sign-up or to find the Memory Walk closest to you: Alzheimer’s Memory Walk.

So let’s get involved and get physically fit for a good cause!  Now is the time to reach out…
