I was shocked when I saw this in TV News the other day. An Iraqi journalist threw dirty shoes to President
Bush during a press conference in Baghdad last Sunday.
The shoe-thrower is Muntadhar al-Zaidi, an Iraqi journalist with Egypt-based al-Baghdadia television network and was heard yelling in Arabic: “This is a farewell … you dog!” He also shouted in Arabic: “This is for all Iraqis who were killed by the Americans!”
Christmas is just around the corner and surely it’s not just me whose feeling it. Especially now that Arizona is
having a winter storm, so the cold weather & Christmas songs truly bring on the spirit of holiday. In season like this, it’s just hard to wake up in the morning, hit that shower and start the day. The cold weather just pushes you to stay longer in bed & just gets warm with your soft blanket, isn’t it?
Here’s the complete list of Emirates Airline Global Assessment & Open Days. I think it’s the first time that

When I transferred here in USA last October 2007, I was amazed on learning those houses (or even some 
buildings) here are made up of stucco. Well in the Philippines, I got used on the idea of being comfortable & safe on houses made up of cement. Then I stayed in the Middle East for 2 years, again I felt safer in flat that’s made up of stick cement.
Now that we moved here, I was kinda uncomfortable on staying in a house knowing that it’s just made of stucco. (more…)
We spent our Thanksgiving in Las Vegas and of course I’m most looking forward on the after-
thanksgiving-sale. Shopping is great during this season but checking some familiar stores in Las Vegas with “Going Out Business” was kinda sad. Honestly, I felt sadness for a bit when I saw that sign. Just think of the people who’s just depending on that job & now they need to look for a new company to work with. Sad because I always have preferred brands available on those stores.
Anyway, one thing also I learned during my early stay here in US is that people are very comfortable on giving gift cards. When I got married, we received a lot of gift cards & I truly enjoyed spending it. We were able to turn out those cards on the items we really like/need. That also made me realized to better give a gift cards to friends & relatives especially in holiday season. (more…)
My friends who knew my “real” personality are really amazed on how I handle my current situation – full time 
homemaker.
I truly enjoyed my single life that there was a point I gave a word that I’m happy of being single & I’m not dreaming of getting married like what other girls do. It was a time when I am so independent, actively enjoying my social life with three other fabulous girl friends & blessed with a wonderful daughter. But like what they always say, you’ll never (more…)
I have to confess this another weird thing of mine and maybe some of you there are in the same boat like me.
This is it – Even in summer time, I still take a bath with a heater. Need to warm the water a bit then hit up the shower. Unlike others, they want the coolest temperature of the water in summer time and that thing never work on me. Now that winter is approaching I never step into bath tub until I got the right water temperature. Weird, huh?! (more…)
