The Smartest Scanner

It is really amazing how genius people keep on inventing things to make our life easier. I just found a website that introduces product line that are really impressive; Docketport.net. They are reselling the Docketport line of scanners via their new website. (Just click on the highlighted word to get you to their website.) Their line of scanners features a variety of simplex and duplex scanners. They are available in two sizes: A6 card scanners and A4 document scanners. All their scanners are USB powered.
.
Here is one scanner that is really cool, syscan. This software is an easy-to-use scanner and software from CSSN that automates the process of transferring data from medical cards into electronic format. The scanned data can be sent to a file or to a database as well as integrated into existing patient management systems. The required information fields are automatically populate for the user without any intervention. This software transforms the front office of physicians. It saves time from doing the photocopying, entering patient and billing information by hand, or retrieving hardcopies from patient files.
.
Let us embrace Dockerport. Let us cherish technology that made everything easier. Let us take advantage of these inventions. Visit their website for more information.

Meet Daisy

Meet Daisy. She is a pet dog of my friend, Irene. Isn't she cute sitting on her favorite chair? I forgot to ask what is her breed, but I really like her. She looks like a stuff toy. I wish we can have dog with us in our apartment, but the rules says we can't. I will miss our dogs.
.
Daisy is a very behave dog that she just sat there on the chair listening to our conversation as if she understood us. Her favorite treat is a chocolate cookie.
.
This picture was taken at the house of my Filipino friend, Irene, when they took me there for a surprise birthday party.

Life Made Easier

It is amazing to see how various businesses made our life easier than it already has. One of the good examples is the “moving out” business where you hire a service to haul your things to its destination, and not just that, they also do all the loading and the unloading. Isn’t that wonderful? Okay. I guess I hear somebody say this is only good if you got money. Another one good example I want to share is the “payday loan” business, where they allow you to get cash advance loan service for your emergency needs as fast as before next payday.
.
upfront cash loan is able to solve your financial problem without facing any hurdle with the help of their online service. It is normal that sometime restricted resources can lead us to deficiency of funds before our next paycheck. Financial emergency can pop up anytime without giving us an advance notification. This is why MyUpfrontCash.com comes up with a business of providing an ample range of loans services at affordable interest rates in order to cover our entire financial problem in a suitable approach.
.
Here are some of the good uses of Payday Loans:1. School Opening Expenses2. Unexpected Travel Expenses3. Stop Checks From Bouncing4. Emergency Food Supplies5. Unexpected Medical Expenses

Wordless Wednesday - Carving Pumpkins Season

Let Us Keep Our Home The Safest Place To Live

We are so thankful for my husband’s cousin, Orville, who helped us preparing our place in Florida. He hired somebody to do the painting and tiles repairing. He also made sure that the place is clean and is safe from any form of molds. We all know that a mold in a house can be life threatening. That is why it is really necessary to check on it before you move in the house. Or if you have been living in the house for a while already, have a regular check for the mold that might have form anywhere in the house.
.
For your house’ mold removal , contact the top rated mold removal company such as; H2ODrying.com. Charlotte Mold also do water removal and flood damage repair.

Our home should be the safest place to live. Let us keep it that way.

Thypoon "Ondoy"

I am so sad with this tragedy that happened recently in my beloved country, Philippines. On September 26, 2009, Typhoon Ondoy brought a month's worth of rainfall to Metro Manila and nearby areas in just a few hours, causing severe flooding which resulted in the loss of many lives and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people.
.
Typhoon Ondoy is what The Filipinos called for Ketsana Storm. It attacked The Philippines last week. The scientists predict it will attack Malaysia and Hainan, China, next month. How true can this be?
.
I am thankful to know that the whole world (government and non-government organization) is joining hands in helping the victims. This reminds me when I was still in the Philippines that my best friend and I volunteered ourselves in packing goods and clothes to be distributed to the victims. I appeal to please pray for the victims and may God bless the volunteers, too.

Speed Up Your PC

We are very busy these days sorting out the things we need to bring with us. Our things are scattered around our room. We need to clear everything.
.
There is another thing that we need to clean, too; our computer. We need to clean this computer that I am using because this had bunches of stored unimportant images, videos and clippings that might cause a lot of clutter in the registry.

That is the work of a registry cleaner ; they will do it automatically for us, eliminating the junks, but leaving in everything that are important to us.

Look For The Interest Of Others

There are people that are really generous by nature to the extent that they don't mind having none just so that they can help others. Honestly, I don't mind if they are doing this act of kindness with a sincere heart or not. It is up to God to judge the heart. But the example they showed can encourage other people to do the same.
.
Giving manifest the essence of Jesus' character, for it has always been His nature to think more about others than He thinks of Himself. Why else would He humble Himself and become obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross?
.
Sad to say that some of us, our natural tendency is to consider our own interests first- to look at everything from the perspective of our own needs and wants. But with Jesus' help we can unlearn the habit. We can begin to think of the best interests of others- their wants, their concerns, their needs.
.
We are most like our Lord when our thoughts for ourselves are lost in our thoughts for others. There is no greater love than that.
.
"Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others." Philippians 2:4

A Visit At The Castle

September 3, 2009, we went to the SSN office in Saginaw (MI) for my SSN ID change name. We have been there for several times already and we did not noticed that across the street there was the "Castle Museum". So, right after our business in the SSN office, we went to the "Castle Museum". We were so glad we went there to see all the splendor it displays inside. This museum is really awesome. It gave us the opportunity to feel the thrill in living in a castle.
.
In 1890, the Federal government decided to design all Federal buildings to reflect the heritage of the communities in which they were located. A post office in Saginaw, Michigan was the first building in the United States to be constructed in accordance under these guidelines. According to its architect, William Aitken, the post office at Saginaw is accordingly French in style, the corner towers being suggestive of the defensive features of frontier life, while the carving of the pinnacles and finials was suggested by the fauna and flora of the neighborhood.
.
Carl Macomber, a local architect, was commissioned to enlarge and update the building. The original chateau architecture was maintained during the extensive renovation in 1937 but there were changes. A major tower, including a circular staircase, was sealed off. A new lobby and a new stairway room have been reopened.
.
In 1972, concerned citizens again, led by the Historical Society of Saginaw County took action to place the building on the National Register of Historic Places.

Generate Money On Your Blog

Some of you know that several of my posts are sponsored. Yes, I am blogging for money. I started blogging as a source of voicing out my thoughts, specially my faith to my Savior. But later on, I found an opportunity on making money which is very favorable for me because I can’t legally work yet. (It was before I got my Authorization of Employment Card few weeks ago.)
.
If you search online, there are many ways on how to monetize your blog. It is sad to say that while some of them are true, there are a whole bunch of them that are scam, and that is why you need to be careful with these sites. I only have one basic principle about this, if they make you pay, then it is SCAM.
.
Let me share to you this site that I just recently found; YouSayToo.com. It is a site where they teach you on How to Make Money Blogging. One of the ways where you can monetize your blog is through Revenue Sharing. It is not embarrassing to admit that we need money. I do. That is why I generate my money on my blog, and it does not only work, it has really greatly helped me a lot. If you are interested, visit this site by clicking on the highlighted words. You will learn a whole bunch more of very helpful information about monetizing your blog. Have fun!

Coin Bank

It was about time that I needed to take care of our coin bank that we have been saving starting the day I came here in USA. My husband asked for some penny wraps from the bank and there it was, I wrapped them all. Can anybody guess how much coins we were able to save on this coffee jar? It was $225. That was a good sum of money.
.
We took them to our bank and deposited them in. I am excited to start saving coins again when we get settled down there in Florida. It is always wise to save money.
.
"Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow." (Proverbs 13:11 NIV)

Get Clear Wireless Internet

Using laptop for internet when we go somewhere else is terrible for me. It was either totally un-accessible or it was much slower than a turtle walking down the road. As much as it excites me to get into outdoor activities, it also disappoints me when it comes to using internet through our laptop. I sometimes end up hanging around somebody’s home just to be able to use internet connection. I hate being a nuisance.
.
But I found something that I am so glad with and is glad to share it with you; Clear Wireless Internet. A lot of people switch into it and has testifies its fast service that you can’t simply turn down.

Daytime Drowsiness

I don't know if some of you have noticed that lately, I don't post on my blog as much as I used to; and sad to say, I don't visit other blogs as much as I used to, too. I'm so sorry about that.
.
I am not sure if some of you remembered that I have been having problem with breakouts. Actually, it has been two months now. I can't believe this; having breakouts every night and day for two months already. This should be something to be alert about. We can't pinpoint what was the cause of this. Everytime we consulted a doctor, they just told me to take Benadryl and keep a food diary. Everybody in the house knows and agreed with me that it has nothing to do with what I ate. I ate different thing everyday but I still got hives. I stopped taking my vitamins. There are foods that I can't eat. I changed my body soap and shampoo; but I'm still getting hives.
.
Few nights ago, I was rushed to the emergency room because of unbearable discomfort of the hives. I was hoping that they will give me something different and can give me some enlightment regarding my hives but I was just disappointed. It was all the same thing that they prescribed me, Benadryl. And they give me some Steroid, too, to calm down my system. Although it works, and I did not have hives the following day, but it was not what I want to happen. I want somebody to tell me what causes the hives and how to avoid it. I was so disappointed that I said to myself that they were wrong when they say that America is advance when it comes to medical studies.
.
Taking Benadryl everyday gives me daytime drowsiness and it doesn't really cures it. One more thing is, I don't even know how long I will keep taking this Benadryl. I don't think that long-term taking of Benadryl is safe.

I'll Be Closer To You, Myrtle

In less than two weeks from now, we will be on our way to Florida. We will be living there for good. Right now we are busy packing up our things. We will only be bringing our clothes and some very important things. Part of me is sad because we have to leave some of our things, but another part of me says this is going to be exciting because everything will be new. We will be starting all over again.
.
One of the many reasons why I am so happy that we will be living in Florida is because it will be closer to South Carolina. My husband and I really love South Carolina. South Carolina will only be less than eight hours from where we will be living. It will mean we can go there as often as we can. I'll be closer to you, Myrtle.
.
Talking about South Carolina, it is always the Myrtle Beach Resort that will come to my mind. To those who have been to Myrtle Beach, I am sure that they feel the same way, too. Who would not fell in love with the exquisite sunrises and sunsets, beautiful ocean and the warm sand? If you are planning to go there and looking for Myrtle Beach Resorts, I can share you a name of the resort where comfort and luxury is the aim they give to their guest; Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resort. This place looks so enchanting with their tall resorts looks like a sand castle erecting by the Cherry Grove beaches. Towers on the Grove, the new and stylish resorts with family-friendly setting, lavish amenities, great view and very affordable rates. Bring your families, friends or just your very dear one here and enjoy the fun and leisure.

Grapes By The Patio

One of the many things that I like staying at the house of Jim and Charleen was this grapevine. It was so wonderful sitting by their patio while you eat some sweet grapes right within your reach.
.
I always love grapes. Health.LearningInfo.org says that eating fresh grapes may prevent the accumulation of harmful oxidized cholesterol as well as the development of atherosclerotic lesions. Naturally occuring antioxidants in fresh grapes known as polyphenols are believed to be responsible for this beneficial impact.
.
Grapes may also be potent against viruses and tumors because of their high concentration of another polyphenol, tannin. Therefore, let us eat a good amount of fresh grapes regularly.

We All Need To Be Loved And Be In Love

.
According to DivorceRate.com 50% of all marriage in the USA ends in divorce. That is a sad fact. One statistics says that the divorce rate in USA dropped its rating starting 2002. Now, that is the good news. I am praying and hoping that this statistics will continue to show the decreasing of the divorce rate in USA year after year. DivorceRate.com gave the list of the most common reasons of divorce and one of them is the addiction of any form; such as drugs, gambling and prescription medicine. I understand that. Nobody would want to be with someone who is into addiction because it indicates that they love their selves far more than they love their spouse. But of course, we need to give chance to those who ask for it with a humble heart, and help them recover, too.
.
I used to wonder what kind of life they have to those who were already forsaken? I believe it is hard for them because the damage done is greater than if they were given the chance to recover rather than being forsaken. Another thing is, it is much harder for them to get into safe and decent relationship again because the society that surrounds them has the tendency to avoid them. But I have the good news again, RecoveryDate.com is the first dating website dedicated to helping sober people in recovery stage find sober relationships. This online dating service is safe and can help you find friends (both men and women) on serious recovery stage in no time at all through their recovery personals, sober personals and site features.
.
If you think you or somebody you know that might need this website, please don’t hesitate to visit or share this RecoveryDate to them. Let us show that we care for them. Just as much as we do, they, too, need to be loved and be in love.

Check Our Hearts And Repent

This morning, as I was doing my daily reading on 2 books, I was amazed to find out that on both books there was only one common message and that was "repentance". I believe there was a significance on this, especially because this is coming from our God.
.
The first book I was reading was "The Power of a Praying Wife" and it was about praying that "repentance" may come to our husband's heart, especially to those who needs some conviction of the wrong activities they are in.
.
The second book (my personal daily devotion) was the word of St. Paul in Acts 26:20 "...repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance." He explained that repentance does not mean just nodding in polite agreement with God, and continuing the same way we were going. It is turning our thoughts toward God- with our behavior following. Like a car, we go in the direction we appointed. So, when we truly turn our minds and hearts toward God, our actions change accordingly.
.
It occurs to me then, that there are something that we are doing that might be wrong and we both need repentance. With a repentant heart, we check ourselves and asking for forgiveness. As St. Paul taught, it is only when we are willing to admit being wrong that we can be certain of being right with God.

Use Online Coupons For Smart Buying

In a couple of weeks from now, we will be on our way to Florida to live there for good. (May God be with us.) My husband and I agreed that we will have to leave all of our things here (except for the few clothes) and will just purchase new ones once we get to Florida. It sounds challenging to me thinking that we will start all over again. With the present economic crisis, we need to practice smart buying. Clipping coupons has been very helpful to me. I made a lot of good deals out of it, but we already stop getting the papers with coupons few months ago. Fortunately, there is another way of clipping coupons; it is at FindSavings.com. Thousands of online shoppers were able to get good deals from hundreds of top online retailers by using coupons from FindSavings.com. They are committed to enhance our shopping power with unlimited treasure of online coupons/coupon codes and are dedicated in continuously picking up the best discount offers from all the stores and making them readily available for instant use. With FindSavings.com , you are going to discover the exclusive best deals that are very rare to be found anywhere else.
.
I’m browsing through their store pages to see which one that would be of benefit for me, and I say Linens n Things Coupons is the one we need. This will be perfect for us to get our linen needs for our new place. Best Buy Coupons would be second very useful store that surely can help us greatly for our electronic needs, especially the TV. Wow! This is really what I will need. I am so happy to have found this.
.
FindSavings.com has coupons/deals for 900+ merchants. Most merchants have a "Coupon" box on their checkout page where you can put in a code to get free/discounted shipping, dollars off, and/or percent off. It is reported that 73% of online consumers used and online coupon. Let us make a habit of using coupons in our purchase.

Aking Inang Bayan (by Arvin U. dela Pena)

This Filipino language poem is composed by Mr. Arvin U. dela Pena for me prior to my request. It took me a while before I am able to post this because I want to place this special poem in a Filipino flag like this.

.

Thank you very much, Arvin. I like your poem. And I know you have made many of your friends happy as you did to me, too. May God bless you and your gift. Use it to the glory of God.

Wordless Wednesday - Autumn Is In!

Are You Ready For Snowmobiling This Winter?

My first winter experience here in Michigan was fun. I had my share of experience playing on the snow, but I know I still missed a lot of things about snow and one of them is snowmobiling. There was one time that a man came to our place with his snowmobile and I was so curious that I wanted to try but the man was in a hurry.
.
Talking about snowmobiling, let me share to you the premier snowmobile website ever; SLEDtv.org. This is very interesting! There is no other site that has a bigger or better collection of snowmobile videos or snowmobile content. All of the top riders and tuners in the country visit this website for lots and lots of information on snowmobiling, trails, tips and tricks, instructional videos, or trailers for the latest hardcore snowmobile videos. Sport fanatics? Or just curious? It is about time that you start gathering information about snowmobiling.

Love That Never Falthers

Congratulations to Bill and Pam who were getting married last Saturday, September 19th, 2009, at Carmel, California. My husband and I wish them the best as they start in their life together.
.
I remembered that I had read something that goes like this: A minister that conducting a wedding ceremony noted to the newly-wed couple that many changes they would experience during their life together, including health and the inevitable effects of age. Then he challenge them to cultivate the true biblical love that neither falters nor fails in spite of the alterations that would surely come their way.
.
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." (James 1:17) God never changes, and neither does His love for us. We are recipients of a perfect love from our heavenly Father, who has loved us "with an everlasting love". God's love still stands when all else has fallen.

Driver Cure To Solve Your Computer Problem

My mom-in-law is happy that we are home because… her computer is in danger of crashing. My husband is the one who is a “genius” when it comes to computer problem. So, he checked on it and found that there was couple of worms. Well, my mom-in-law was worried. She said she was being careful about opening mails or downloading files. The bad news is that sometimes worms and virus can infect the computer uninvited. That’s why it is so important to have your computer protected. My mom-in-law was so worried that she might lose her files, especially her files of financial exchange. My husband suggested using a file extension ofx , so that no matter what will happen, her files are safe.
.
The file extension ofx is most commonly associated with files created by financial management software. OFX stands for Open Financial Exchange, which is a technical specification standard developed jointly by Microsoft, Intuit and Checkfree back in 1997. File extension ofx is very helpful because it enables the free transfer of financial records, data and transaction between consumers, businesses, banks and other financial institutions. Downloading is very easy as 1-2-3 and it is free.
.
If you are into this kind of business, get file extension ofx. Get a driver cure to solve your computer problem. Visit their website for more information. To download is absolutely free with their very easy instructions. Get it before your files crashes!

Kitty Massage

Charleen and Jim were home this morning from California, so that means we are home now, too. I am happy to be home so that I can resume the things that I usually do, and especially the things about blogging.
.
Well, we had fun doing the "cat-sit" and "dog-sit". They were such adorable and nice pet. We already miss them. It was so cold in their place that I really had hard time leaving the bed and while my husband was addicted in playing tennis with the Wii.
.
Snickers is a lovable cat. It doesn't take very long for him to like me. During the first night that I was on bed, he joined me and did something that I thought was strange. Although we have a cat here in our house, but I don't see him very often because he is locked up in the room of the owner which is my husband's nephew. When my husband later joined me in bed, I told him about what Snickers did and he told me that it was a kitty massage. Wow! That was so cool!
.
Well, what the cat did was gently pushing his two front leg to your body, (left and right and left and right...) and it really felt like a massage that I wished I could ask him to do it on my back. :) So, I told Charleen about it and she said that Snickers must have like me because he only did that to somebody he likes and comfortable with. What an honor to be liked by a cat and received a free and special kitty massage. I miss you Snickers, and I miss your kitty massage on me. :)

Get Computer Protection

My husband and I went to the local SSN office in Caro for my SSN ID follow-up a couple of days ago. Sad to say that we didn't made it. We didn't know that their service stops at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I blamed myself. Why? Because when we're just about to leave, I checked my email and found something that I need to take care right away, and thus, made me stay for 30 minutes more on the computer. I thought it would only take 10 minutes, but unexpected computer problem came up, and I decided to give up so that we can proceed to our appointment. It was such a mess that we missed the office, and come to think of it that they only serve in that local office on every first and third Thursday of the month.
.
So, when we get back to the house, my husband then looked through the computer and found out the virus that caused the problem. Obviously, the computer is not protected. (Remember, we are here in our cousin's house.) Somehow, I was scared because I was the one who were using the computer and most likely, the virus was my fault.
.
My husband knows a lot about computer. I am so thankful for that. He knows where to go to get help for virus removal. He did and it did not took him very long to have the virus removed. And he also had it installed with virus protection . I am so relieved. I thought I will not be able to use the computer until we get home.
.
If you have the same problem or similar to this, I suggest that you go to ZSecurity.com. Even if you don't have any computer problem, to have your computer protected is safer than facing future burdensome problem, plus the possibility of losing all your files. Now, nobody wants it.

Let Us Cherish Our Freedom

We are fortunate to live in a Democratic country where we are free. Freedom is very important to individual. As God's children, we are being free from bondage of sin (Although we still commit sin) through His truth. But to those who don't know how to use it, freedom is dangerous for them. That is the reason why criminals are confined in prisons with barbed wire, steel bars, and concrete barriers.

In the Christian's life, believers are free from the law's curse, it's penalty, and it's gulity-producing power and replaced by peace, forgiveness and liberty. Who could be more free than one who is free in the depths of his soul? But here is where we often fail. We use freedom's luxury to live selfishly, or we claim ownership of what God has merly entrusted to us. We slip into patterns of self-indulgent living, specially in afluent societies.

The proper use of freedom is "faith working through love" to serve one another. When we rely on the Spirit and expend our energies on loving God and helping others, the destructive works of the flesh will be restrained by God. So let's always use our liberty to build up, not to tear down.

Like a raging fire, freedom without limits is dangerous. But when controlled, it is a blessing to all.

"Do not use libery as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." Galatians 5:13

Food Trip Friday #13 - Smokey Baby Back Ribs

I am joining Mommy Willa on this "Food Trip Friday" meme for a reason that I want to challenge myself to try something new food at least once a week in order for me to learn to cook.

We were trying the pressure cooker and this is what we had come up for our dinner the other day. This is so good. Once it gets to your mouth it just melt down like smooth butter. :)

Smokey Baby Back Ribs

Ingredients:

2 racks baby back ribs

4 tbsps. granulated garlic powder

2 tbsps. onion powder

1 tbsp. cumin

1 tbsp. coriander

2 cups smokey barbeque sauce

1 small onion, diced

.

Direction:

1. In a small bowl thoroughly blend together the dry ingredients.

2. Cut the racks in half so that they can easily fit in the pressure cooker. Season them evenly with the seasoning blend.

3. Place 1/3 cup of water in the pressure cooker,then add the ribs, side by side. Add the diced onion, and evenly pour the barbeque sauce over the ribs. Place the lid on the cooker, lock lid and close the rapid release button. (Set the pressure adjust mode to 80. Set the cook time to 25 minutes.)

4. After 25 minutes, the timer will reach 0 and the cooker will automatically switch to the warm mode or the red light will go to green. Place the pressure valve from closed position to rapid release. When the steam is completely released, remove the lid.

(Optional: Have your broiler preheated to high. Place the ribs in a single layer on a tinfoil lined baking sheet and broil the ribs on each side until browned well, about 5 minutes per side.)

5. Brush the ribs with the barbeque sauce from the pot, top with chop green onions and serve.

Mallorca Ride

Our first year wedding anniversary was wonderful. We were in a place that both my husband and I had not been to. That is how we come up with the idea that on our every wedding anniversary, we will choose a place to go for our wedding anniversary celebration. That made me excited for our second wedding anniversary.
.
Spain is definitely on our list of the prospect places that we want to visit next. It is one of the most wanted country to visit, too. Beautiful and awesome places are too many to mention. Mallorca is one of the Balearic Islands, a series of Mediterranean islands that belong to Spain. It's a place where they say the sun never sets, because the sun shines nearly all the time on Mallorca, the people are notoriously hospitable, and the beaches are unsurpassed. Combined with the island's history and culture, this is a must-see destination.
.
Somebody had suggested to us that to make the most out of a trip to Spain, instead of joining a tour group, we will just take the Car Hire Mallorca . In that way, we can decide where we want to go and we are free to stay in certain places as desired without being conscious of time. We agree, that was a cool idea. BestCarHire.co.uk are the premier choice for car hire and car rentals in the UK, Europe and worldwide. They offers a huge inventroy of cars for rent in countries all over the world at competitive prices. has a good reputation in cheap car rental.

What Does It Mean To Dream Of Celestial Phenomenon?

I can still remember that I was six years old when I started to have dreams about different kind of celestial phenomenon. It was terrifying and alarming that I feel like it was going to happen in the future. It did not only happened once or twice, but it keep haunted me through my dreams as I grow old and up to the present time.
.
I have already proved and tested that more of my dreams were prophetic. Sometimes it happened few hours after I dreamed of it. Sometimes it happened few days, few weeks, few months or few years. As they said, "It is both a curse and a blessing."
.
Few weeks ago, my husband took me outside in the middle of the night and showed me some celestial spectacular, an Aurora Borealis. It was really awesome. I can't help but be reminded about those celestial phenomenon dreams that I always have. Then, few days after that, my husband took me outside again in the middle of the night, we lied down on the picnic mat in the middle of the basketball court, and there we were watching the amazing hundreds of meteor showers. Very wonderful! And once again, I was reminded of those celestial phenomenon dreams that I always have.
.
But those dreams that I had were far intense, scary and unexplainable. Intense, because it was universal-wide. Scary, because it feels like it was the end of the world. And unexplainable, because it was something unconceivable.
.
Although, I take careful note of my dreams, but I am not a person who consulted a book or something else for the interpreation of my dreams, because most of my dreams came true literally, while some of them I called "generical" (that's my version of between generic and general). Anyway, since this dreams really bothered me and out of curiousity, I tried looking through online dream interpretation, but to my dismay, none of them gave me answer.
.
Well, I am hoping that one of my reader here on my blog can give me interpretation of these dreams, celestial phenomenon. I really want to know why these dreams have been haunting me through years and years.
