Everything Great and Grand.

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?

Now, I’m sure you would agree if I say that this is one of the grandest thing I’ve ever seen in the Bicol region. It’s almost perfect cone shape makes it more special. I’ve seen Mayon Volcano a lot of times already but it never fails to amaze me. The photo above taken by my husband, didn’t actually give justice to the volcano. It was breath-taking!

The volcano is still active though and has recently erupted last December of 2009. Many people living near the area evacuated. The view of the volcano while it was erupting was magnificent but scared thousands of people there.

You have to focus on one thing. Discover that one thing. Unless you focus on your one thing, victory will be too small and too far in between.

The One who gave you your one thing,
God

P.S. What’s your one thing? Forget everything else. Delegate everything else. Life is short. Be a person of one thing.

Definitely breath taking. A place I never imagined I would discover and be able to visit. Our tour in Bali last year was impromtu. It wasn’t planned but boy, I was glad we pushed through.

Beratan Lake is situated in the plateau area with cool atmosphere surround it. It is an ideal place for relaxation while enjoy the beautiful panorama of lake. The accommodations are also available in this area where is the perfect place for overnight stay, resting and enjoy the beautiful panoramic of lake with the Ulun Danu Temple as a magnificence. The small scale of agriculture activities are likely conducted around this lake and can be perceived at the same time circle around it. If we encircle it, we can take photograph with the beautiful background view or make the picture sketch face in painting mini studio at the lakeside with a short time as a souvenir.

Surprisingly the weather was cool in Bedugul during our day tour. I loved it since I came from a tropical country and this kind of weather is a welcoming change. I wish I could stay here longer but our time didn’t permit us since we needed to go back to our hotel again after a few hours.
