New Jersey – The Garden State

After exploring the City life of New York…I was stunned by how beautiful the landscape and surroundings of New Jersey…I never thought that there’s still as fresh and green place as this could be… I can’t help to admire the tall and huge trees around, the beautiful farm lands, manicured lawns, blossoming flowers and different animals hopping and running in the backyard. Funny, I thought I was in a zoo. Gorgeous horses, fatty cows and wild animals that often farmers are not delighted to see, as they mess up their crops and trees. But, as for a visitor like me I’m excited to see deer, ground hogs and squirrels just around the backyard. Sorry guys… I know, you just want hunters to hunt these wild animals…:)

New Jersey offers a diverse environment, not to mention that it’s just an hour from the big city…of New York. Which is an advantage I guess, like if you get bored to be a country girl, it’s just so easy for you to get to the city, which I like…:) . It also offers lots of outdoorsy activity; it’s also surrounded by traditional structures and also nice schools.

New Jersey is really a destination, if you want to be closest to nature. It also offers diverse activities, you can also find big outlets stores and entertainment from concerts and theater shows. Not to mention the lifestyle here… I observe that …people here are family oriented.

Busy days...means busyness or business?!

Let's see if my busyness is equal to business. Whatever it takes, busy for me is something to be thankful. :) Wondering why? ... if we have something to do, that means we're not idle or lazy. An opportunity for us to keep moving. But for some busy for them is just an excuse to something, like not calling a loved one, friend or a missed occasion. :) Let me recall how's my "busyness" for the past weeks. Had a great time in Ohio, what a long drive!, long drive is sometimes great if you're just the passenger lol! You have time to look around, think while napping ( how's is it possible? lol) well, it's possible for me...it's just like day dreaming! :). A time to appreciate the quietness of the green surroundings that we passed by and just merely a get away. My online course in Open Education is almost over. Collaborating with people around the globe with same interest is amazing. Exploring the many possibilities of this new learning culture. Defi...

A crave for Tsokolate eh ...!

The other day I was craving for a hot chocolate...well maybe because of the cold weather. But I was craving for not just a hot chocolate. I want something that I used to have back in the Philippines...we call it Tsokolate eh ... wait how are you going to pronounce it ...it should be like this cho-koh-la-teh-eh!...i put the exclamation so you have an accent on the eh!...:) It's a Filipino thick hot chocolate, very similar to the signature hot chocolate of Starbucks. But of course it's way cheaper than a Starbucks hot chocolate. :) Tsokolate eh! is made up of tabrilya (tab-rillia)it's a cacao balls. But it's basically from a cacao fruit. It comes in different shapes but rounded tabrilya is the most common. :) There's a traditional way of doing this ...like before they use a beater for this called "batidor", but I don't use that anymore I just let it boil and use a regular spoon to beat it.:) Simplier but of course it taste better if it's done the...

Valentine's Day...

Many says that it's an over rated celebration...I can't understand why they seems to be bitter about celebrating this. For one this is not just about romantic celebration. For me it's a chance for us to at least celebrate love ...lavishly for a day...though we can show it everyday!!! and it's not all about romantic love...it's for everyone with someone special, family or friends. So, no matter what is your ideology or perspective on Valentines day ... whether it's on roses or chocolates...though me I still prefer flowers over chocolate...they're just beautiful as it is. ;) it's all about showing your love to your love ones that counts. Happy Valentine's Day to all!!! Let me share this nice note on Love...from Kurt Nerburn: "Letters To My Son" It's a bit long but worth reading. "It is a mystery why we fall in love. It is a mystery how it happens. It is a mystery when it comes. It is a mystery why some love grows and it is a mys...

A whole new world!
