A whole new world!

I always heard this from friends and clients that this is a well celebrated holidays here in America. Lots of food, fun time, and according to my friend's son "a day when all you have to do is EAT" :) In my case, I had an opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving with not just lots of food but with amazing people. I had a chance to travel with my friends family they're celebrating Thanksgiving in Choctaw, Oklahoma. Whew! 24 hours road trip!. It was my first long trip ever, but it was fun and smooth travel no hassle what so ever. We passed by Philadelphia, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri. I've enjoy the stop overs too...Cracker Barrel is also around the places we passed by...I love the ambiance and country food they're serving. From Thanksgiving From Thanksgiving From Thanksgiving Thanksgiving time, I'm so grateful that I'm surrounded by people that they let me feel so welcomed for me to be less homesick. Grandpa Gibbs and Grandma Gibbs that's how they call ...

How can I forget this plant, I remember when I was a kid I loved to play with this plant. I tried touching it so lightly so it would not close on me but it's just so sensitive that it just automatically shut off. That's why it's named Damong Makahiya ( A shy grass) :). Do you still remember how you're amazed by this plant when you're a kid? :)

Back in the Philippines , we’re not used to celebrating Halloween like here in the US, where people wear costumes, decorates their houses with Halloween stuff and kids go trick or treating; and every household prepare candies.:) Though, there are some in the Philippines celebrate Halloween, but it’s not very common to us Filipinos. We celebrate this event by remembering our dead loved ones. We usually call it Undas is the Filipinized version of All Saints/Souls Day. This is a national celebration, a time of year where for most of us Filipinos consider as Family reunion. :) We like family gatherings. :) We often go to the cemetery and clean the graveyards and paint the tombs of our loved ones, also we offer prayers, flowers and prayers. Like me, I've always look forward to this celebration, being with the whole family, to take time of from work, especially with people who work far away from home, this is a great opportunity for them to visit family and definitely enjoy famil...

I’ve watched US presidential election back in the Philippines, but never been really into it. Until I was here, and have seen how politicians here campaign. I’ve noticed that the president is the one who choose their VP. No big posters and signs along the streets. Media are very upfront and too liberal. So, viewers should really have to take responsibility in who to believe in. I understand now about dem and rep. But hearing both the candidates, I just simply like and agree more on the Republican candidates John McCain and Sarah Palin , well Sarah’s presence has a lot to do with me, also Mike Huckabee and Sean Hannity . I’ve always admire women who can joggle their family life and career, especially with her, a political career, which requires twice of her time than a usual career. She just has this charisma and power that I believed she can do the job. I also admired her love for her family, love of God and her values. Bet if Sarah runs as President of the Philippines I bet ...
