Everything Great and Grand.

I have seen the weigh in earlier this morning and I can’t help but laugh at both of them while they were together.

How come they seem to be friends? LOL!

This is the first fight of Manny’s that we are not watching LIVE. We didn’t prepare for this so now we are checking out everything – internet, radio, etc just to be able to know what’s happening. I’ve heard that people are REALLY splurging money just to watch for this fight. Hundreds of dollars for the boxing ticket, parking ticket must be really high, they had to buy snacks too. And how about accomodations? I’m sure during this time, there are no good deals like the one I found in an Orlando vacation from OrlandoThemeParkVacations.com. They are offering really good deals now that I’m sure I won’t find in Arlington, TX. This fight is really a great fight and maybe Manny Pacquiao’s last? I’m not really sure.

I wonder if Manny Pacquiao will turn out to be the GREATEST fighter after this fight? Let’s see!

Another part of the seven wonders of the natural world is the Great Barrier Reef. It is the largest reef system in the whole world. I would imagine how beautiful it is when you see the reef composed of over 2,900 individual reefs. It has 900 islands stretching for over 2,600 kilometres (1,600 mi) over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres (133,000 sq mi). Very impressive. Just by looking at this photo makes me really appreciate the beauty of this reef.

The reef is actually located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland in northeast Australia. Would you believe that this can be seen from outer space and is considered as the world’s biggest single structure made by living organisms? It is now one of the important parts of the world so a large part of the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. They help limit the impact of human use, such as fishing and tourism.

The Grand Canyon is one of the wonders of the seven natural wonders of the world. It is not only grand but also breath-taking. And take note that this is not man-made but purely natural. God made this beauty for us to appreciate. It actually is occupied by one of the first National parks in the United States called the Grand Canyon National Park. It is a steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. Wondering how long and how big this park is? It is 277 miles (446 km) long, ranges in width from 4 to 18 miles (6.4 to 29 km) and attains a depth of over a mile (1.83 km) (6000 feet). Quite amazing, isn’t it?

Mozzarella cheese coated in their special Italian-styled breading then deep fried and served with a rich marinara sauce.

This is one of my favorite appetizer in T.G.I. Friday’s. Every time we dine at Friday’s we would always order this dish. I love it to bits! Not to mention the marinara dip that goes with it. It’s not too spicy and not too sour like the other dips. The mozarella was fried to perfection. Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Since I LOVE cheese so much, I would say this dish is to die for!

After working so hard for the past few days, I realized that I need a GRAND vacation. It need not be grand as in go to another country. I just need to go to the beach, that’s it. Although those Outer Banks vacation homes look tempting. Going there at this very hot weather would be GRAND for me. I know they have nice deals recently and it would be a treat for the whole family to go there. I wonder if my parents in Outer Banks had an idea about these gorgeous vacation homes? I’m sure if they had, they would be booking on these homes first thing in the morning.

Never allow what others say about you to change your opinion of yourself.

I think you’re great,
God

P.S. When it comes to YOU, I’m the expert. I made you. I bless you. And I love you. So when it comes to YOU, listen to the expert only.

I love our Fridays. Aside from the fact that it’s almost weekend, what I love about our Fridays is that we go out every Friday night to have a prayer meeting with our couple friends. It is refreshing after working for the whole week. Although sometimes I have to admit, I keep on thinking about my errands that I had to do the next day like getting tm-t88iv for the printer, have photos printed, buy some groceries, bring the kids to the Doctor, and more but I keep on reminding myself that I should enjoy this very short time of being with the Lord and of course with our friends too.

Great Dinner + Great Company + Being with God = Perfect FRIDAY!

Now, who wouldn’t consider that as GRAND?

Well, Hubby’s dream that is.

His greatest dream is to own a flat screen TV. This would be great for the entertainment centers that we want in our dream house. I know everything seems to be a dream. But there is no harm in dreaming right? That’s the nice thing about this blog is that I can write all my dreams and Hubby’s here. And then in a few years, I would look back and see if I was able to reach these dreams.

So, now, a flat screen TV in an entertainment center, NOT a bad dream at all!

Now that summer is finally here, it makes me want to go back to Boracay or commonly known as Bora. Of course if I have the means, I would want to travel out of the country and try the San Diego vacation rentals that my Mom has been suggesting ever since she got there. It seems like they have a good deal now.

Anyway. Boracay is located at Aklan. This is in Visayas in the Philippines. Definitely there’s “heaven” in that island with their crystal-clear water, white and powdery sand. It’s nice to imagine being there especially if the weather in our country is sooo hot! This island is also surrounded with wonderful hotels and restaurants that offer cheap but delicious Filipino, Asian and American food.

This is definitely a GRAND place!!

I have been using a Samsung phone for years before I switched to a Nokia phone. I can say that I really like my samsung phone except for the keypads that didn’t work after 2 years of using it. The interface was so simple I’ve learned to use it in a day or two. Now that I saw the new samsung phones, it makes me want to switch. I’ve been looking for a phone with a QWERTY keyboard so I ended up with Nokia E71. The new Samsung phones look really nice, durable, and offer a lot of features that wouldn’t find in other brands.

So now, I’m thinking, should I switch?
