I GOT A BIRTHDAY GIFT FROM DEMCY!

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

Picture Captions
Yesterday night my husband checked our mailbox and came back carrying an envelope. Oh my! I got a package from my very nice blogger friend Demcy from California! I learned blogging through Demcy at the end of February 2009 and I am so inspired with her smart teachings. I'm so lucky that I landed in an online group discussion where Demcy and some of the other Filipino bloggers are talking about earning money online. With enthusiasm, I emailed Demcy and got the chance to chat with her. I felt very comfortable talking with her just about anything and really enjoyed the funny conversation we had even for the first time. I find her very nice, kind, smart and with a sense of humor. Aside from that, I admired her attitude towards blogging and how helpful she is to her co-bloggers. I'm so grateful that she considers me as one of her friends. Even though we haven't met yet personally I can feel that she is a real nice person. She's one in a million!

By the way, I was so eager to open the envelope and saw a box and a card with a very nice message that really touched my heart. When it's time for me to open the box...Wow! I got a very pretty watch! I told my husband that it was so pretty and I like the color coz I can match it with whatever clothes I wear. He seconded the motion and said "It's pretty like you!" L.O.L! "Talagang dapat may ganon!^_^ Nambola pa! ^_^" He always complements me every single day even if I haven't combed my hair in the morning and I look like a witch.hehe! But he's sweet though,we really complement each other everyday. My husband also mentioned that it was nice of her(Demcy) to give me a gift. I tried to wear the watch and it perfectly fits! I like it so much! Thank you so much sis Dhemz for the wonderful birthday gift and for the friendship you shared with me! Lucky me!
And to all of YOU ... thank you for the advance, on the day and late birthday greetings and gifts.

C'ELLE IS LEADING THE SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGH!

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

Most of us are familiar with adult stem cell sources such as bone marrow that are used to treat different kinds of life threatening illnesses. There is an easier way to harvest adult stem cells in a painless and non-invasive manner compared to bone marrow. Do you know that menstrual blood flow contains undifferentiated adult stem cells? Yes! And the menstrual flow demonstrates properties similar to bone marrow. It can also be used to treat more than 70 life-threatening illnesses including lymphoma, leukemia, sickle cell anemia, neuroblastoma and other serious illness. The C'elle service empowers women to collect and cryopreserve menstrual flow that can be used to treat several illnesses like breast cancer, heart disease and other serious diseases. Women can use this service right in the comfort of their own home.

I have read the C'elle Blog and have learned a lot of menstrual flow's benefits. If I will cryopreserve my menstrual flow I can use it for future utilization and it can even be used by my first degree relatives. I can save not only my health or life but my family's health as well. I'm really amazed by the discoveries found by the researchers and experts. I'm sure there will be more discoveries in the future that will cure a lot of diseases.

BRIDGEPORT FOR FLOORING INSTALLATION!

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

Do you need to replace or change your floor that shows excessive wear? Some people would rather buy tools and kits for do-it-yourself installation but end up unsatisfied with the result of what they did. Since they aren't professional in doing it, most of them just wind up messing it up which is just a waste of money, time and effort. And the next step that they will do is call a professional to fix it for them. They must call the professionals in the first place who are very well trained with this kind of job so that they can guarantee an awesome looking floor.

My friend is renovating her house and has heard about Bridgeport Flooring that professionally installs flooring and how great their services are. She said that they help in selecting the best flooring for your home, may give free home measurements, professionally install flooring and follow-up on your installation. Quality, durability and proper installation are the most important things to her so she will never attempt to do such an installation by herself. I mentioned to her that my parents-in-law are planning to build a new house in few months time and I might suggest Bridgeport Flooring to them. She also recommends that I visit the site www.bridgeportctflooring.com that provides very helpful information and I can even give them a call for further assistance.

This is breaded tilapia that I bought in the grocery store. Tilapia has become one of the more popular seafood entrees in the U.S. and Southeast Asian countries are the largest exporter of tilapia to the US.

Here in the U.S. the tilapia are easy to breed and rapidly grow and are grown in a closed tank systems so they are safer from pollution. I miss fish so I bought this tilapia which is rich in protein and omega 6.

SATURDAY WEEKEND - KIDDIE PARTY

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

One of my friends whom I met here in our state invited us to attend her son's birthday party yesterday late in the afternoon. It's been a long time since I've seen her and other Filipinas from different towns nearby and I'm so glad to see them again. Of course, in an occasion such as this Filipino dishes are served like pansit, lumpia, adobo, pusit and several others aside from the usual American food. During the party there was this game called pinata which is the same as "pok palayok" back home where we hit the "palayok" with wooden bat while blindfolded. I remember when I was kid, every time I joined this kind of game I never won, other times I hit but will only leave a crack on the pot.hehe. Anyway, we had a great time at the party. I would like to greet Shane a Happy Birthday and thank you for inviting us. Also I'm glad to see again one of my friends who just arrived from Alabama with her cute baby.

TAGYOURFRIEND FEATURE IN FACEBOOK!

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

I know each one of us is addicted to Facebook. We can connect and interact with our friends and even make friends sending messages, and updating our profile and photos to notify our friends about the latest update of ourselves.

Do you know that Facebook added a new application? Tagyourfriend is a virtual gift sharing application for Facebook where you can tag your friends with an announcement of what you think of them. Aside from that it has extra features such as earning coins, rating your friends and sending invitations to your friends. I just recently used this application and I find it very fun and interesting. It can even brighten up the day of your friends and will really make their day. Today, I am eager to tag several friends to complete level 1-3 and go up to a higher level so I can get and send new tags with different captions on them. I want to collect and earn more coins so I can also try the featured tags. Later, I will try the featured offers like surveys, survey of the day and more to earn more coins. The featured offers are interesting and entertaining as well!

One of my friends whom I tagged "the sexy one" sent me a message saying that she really likes the tag that I sent her and that it made her smile. She will use the tag feature more often and will invite her friends to use the application. This is really a fun way to socially interact with our friends. With just simple and short words from the tag, it can give a great impact to your friends. So make your friends smile or even laugh today with the tag. I hope there will be added features like a BONUS. Let's say a person received 15-20 tags a day she can also earn coins. Another one is if a person let's say receives 25-30 tags in one day, then she can get a custom tag where she can write whatever she wants on the tag.
I can feel that I will get addicted to this Tagyourfriend feature. I'm sure I will use it everyday!

MY LECHE FLAN

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

Before I got married, I didn't know how to bake or even cook meals, but now I'm still learning! Leche Flan is one of my favorite desserts so I tried to make leche flan a few months ago and my hubby liked it!

I made several of them for Christmas last year and my in-laws also liked the taste of it! My mom-in-law even gave me an A++ grade! hehe! Anyway, I want to share with you the recipe:

Ingredients:
10 egg yolks
1 can (390g) evaporated milk
1 can (390g) condensed milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract



Mix the egg yolks, condensed milk, evaporated milk and vanilla. Hand-beat by hand. Pour the mixture on top of the caramel on the aluminum molds or 'llanera'. Fill the molds to about 1 inch thick. Cover molds with aluminum foil. Bake for about 45 minutes to one hour OR steam for about 20 minutes. Pre-heat oven to about 370 degrees. Place the molds on a larger baking pan half filled with hot water, before baking the flan. When done, let cool then refrigerate.
To serve: run a thin knife around the edges of the mold to loosen the flan. Place a platter on top of the mold and quickly turn upside down to position the golden brown caramel on top.
You can tell when the flan is cooked by inserting a knife. If it comes out clean, it is cooked.

For the caramel:
1 c sugar
3/4 cup water

Directions:
Mix sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil for a few minutes until the sugar caramelize. Pour the caramelized sugar into aluminum molds or 'llanera'. Spread the caramel on the bottom of the molds. Let it cool for a few minutes. Set aside.

RETAIL SHOWCASE AND GONDOLA SHELVING

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

There are several things that you must consider in putting up a retail store. One of which is the proper or organized placement of items so that your store will become customer friendly. In that way, customers can search for items more easily and it is also a factor in ensuring that the customer might come back to your store.

A friend of mine is planning to put up a store and I helped her in searching for shelves and showcases online that she might buy for her business. We came up with the right site and have found different types of shelves that are very functional and versatile. It's even easy to change around with the pegboard backs. There are different shapes, sizes and colors of gondola shelves and she already picked out different gondola styles she wants. She can put the gondola 2-sided units in aisle ways or center aisles, the gondola wall units (with heavy duty metal components) can be stick in the wall and the gondola end cap unit where she can display more items can also be placed in the aisle. She might also be needing glass shelving for displaying gift items, peg baskets, peg hooks, merchandising hang tabs, peg accessory displays, magna bars and magna bar hooks. Aside from that, the store offers a huge selection of showcases of different styles and functionality. Showcases are categorized as Streamline Series, Basic Series, Freedom towers, Acrylic Cases, Economic Kd Furniture and Economic Counter Cases. They have jewelry showcases, trophy cases, wall cases, pedestal cases, countertop cases, aisle cases and a lot more. My friend needs a jewelry showcase so that her jewelry items will be displayed securely and locked. Not only that, the jewelry items will be properly presented to the customers. The site also has a Request a Quote feature for the customer to find out the price according to their needs. My friend is so glad that she found the right site where she can purchase all the things that she needs for her retail store.

LET'S PLAY WORLD OF WARCRAFT!

My husband and I love playing multiplayer games during our free time. World of Warcraft is a very popular, enjoyable and entertaining game to play with incredibly great graphics. That is why many people are getting hooked to it.You can do almost anything you want in this game. You can play with different players around the world, create your own group or hang-out with your friends.

My cousin just recently bought WoW Gold in an e-commerce site. Buying or ordering online is so simple, fast and easy and even saves his time along with the friendly service provided by the site. He is very satisfied with Wow Gold and is really enjoying it. Aside from that, the store offers a complete 100% money back guarantee on all orders. The company has been in the business for almost six years now. It was the one who created the website mymmoshop.com in the year 2007 and has filled over 1million orders.

FORT MASSAC STATE PARK

Posted by Meryl (proud pinay)

Last Saturday we went to Fort Massac State Park, Metropolis, Il. It is a very nice park to relax and enjoy the beauty of the nature surrounding it. It has a spacious parking lot with several fun outdoor opportunities available where you can spend time together with your family and friends like picnicking, camping, hiking, hunting, boating and fishing along the Ohio River. Or you can just relax and enjoy the overlooking beauty of the Ohio River. When we went there, some people were enjoying swimming in the river. There is also a visitor's center and office in the park.

FOUR FLAGS OVER FORT MASSAC. More than 5 centuries ago,the fort was under the control and ownership of the Spanish (1500's) and then sometime later the French took it over. Then the British took it over from the French, then the Americans took it from the British. It was 1974 when George Washington ordered the fort rebuilt and garrisoned. In the year 1908, the Fort Massac State Park was preserved and maintained and was designated the first Illinois State Park. What you are seeing now is a replica of the 1802 American fort. There are 2 barracks, officer quarters, 3 block houses, a well, and a stockade with fence in the fort.

It is a very nice vacation spot and a place to reminisce the rich history of the site.
Here are the pictures we took (scroll down please):
