Have you ever seen a couple that were caught doing some crime and yet so happy? Now you have. And hey, we look good while they took us some photograph, too. Whatever the crime we did, it is very obvious that we didn't regretted doing it.
.
Okay. Here is what really happened. Last Sunday was my husband's birthday. He wanted to go to Al Capone's Show & Dinner at Kissemmee, Florida. I tell you, it was very cool show with buffet dinner and free unlimited drinks. The casts were just so wonderful and everybody were just having non-stop laughter. We really enjoyed the entire show.
.
We spent the night in that area, and on that following day, we spent it looking and eating around Kissemmee and Orlando area. We had a good time together. It was some kind of a bonding to us because I will be leaving for Philippines this Friday. I love my husband very much and I already feel that I miss him. "Happy birthday day 4, honey."

Jerry Springer Talk Show: An Old Favorite
Guest post of the week by Ferdinand Livingston.
.
As a child, I remember growing up and hearing Jerry Springer from the living room. My mother watched the show often and I would get sucked into it. I cannot say I fully understood the shows because of my age, but I could see my mother enjoyed it and I valued the time when we could sit together on the sofa with a bowl of popcorn .
.
Long since those old episodes, Jerry Springer's face has withered with age but his show has developed and grown into something new and exciting. I can remember watching episodes about conjoined twins and being fascinated as a child, but now it has taken a more dramatic turn with content.
.
I now continue to watch Jerry Springer's talk show in HD since I finally got my satellite dish installation . As a Psychology student, it gives me an interesting look at some domestic situations and motivations. The show continues to inspire me to help people. Jerry's final thoughts are always insightful and mesh the show together around a common problem that is relevant to most people. The cases are extreme, but they relate back to a bigger picture and problem that most people can relate to.

My Blogging Present Status & Plans
It is 2 o’clock in the morning here, and I am still online. I know this is strange, because since I start working, I had always sees to it that I slept before midnight. But tonight, and for the next several nights to come, I can stay late because I am on vacation starting tomorrow. I noticed that my PR stat here on my blog is going down. I’m kinda sad about it. Here I am now, trying to build it up again. It is never too late to do so.
.
My blog is running two years old. I am happy that it is still going on, but honestly, I find myself getting sick of its same old template. Does anybody want to second the motion on this? I wanted to change it so bad, but I’m not that good and I don’t want to end up messing around to the point that I won’t be able to fix it anymore.
.
Other than that, there is one thing that I had been planning to do, and had always putting it aside; it is to move my blog to another web hosting. In that way, I can do more on my blog and can monetize on it better. Somebody suggested to me to try this unlimited web hosting from WebHostingHub.com. After reading their features and everything, it made me want to go for it as soon as I can. Do you need one, too? Visit their website and learn more about it.

Second Wedding Anniversary Portrait
August 2nd was our wedding anniversary. We just turned 2 this year. It was a wonderful day to us although I had to work on that day, and right after work, my husband took me to a Greek restaurant for a dinner. After the dinner, he took me to a place where I was so stunned, too stunned to even mention it here. Well, at least I had consider it unlocking another door of ignorance in my then small world.
.
My husband and I agreed to do two things on our every wedding anniversary. One is to have an annual portrait with both of us and the other one is to go to a place where we will both enjoy the scene as far as our budget can go. Well, we are done with our portrait (and yes, it was in Sears Portrait Studio as the watermarks says it), and the getaway is yet to come. It will be on next week right after the start of my vacation (leave from work). Where? We both had not finalize it yet, but the sure thing is that it will not be very far from where we live. We may want to go farther as we did last year, but due to my approaching big vacation to the Philippines, we have to be careful with our spending this time. Well, we all know that it doesn't matter where, what matters is that we will be together on that special annual getaway, to unwind and just be the two of us.
.
Happy Anniversary to you, my huckleberry. I love you very much.

Upgraded Mobility For Disabled Person
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.
I visited our neighbor yesterday which had an accident last week. She just came from the hospital a couple of days ago. She broke her hip and had her implant right after that mishap. Right now her mobility is either on the wheelchair or on the walker. She used to be so independent that she lived all by herself all these years, but have to have someone doing things for her lately. She told us that it is one of the hard things that she has to accept, losing her independency. I understand that it is very common here among the seniors. Nobody don’t want to be in a state of dependency. I believe that in no time at all, she will be back to herself again.
.
Talking about disability, NMEDA (National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association) is a non-profit trade association. They promote safe driving and equipment for disabled people. They required adhering to the safety standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They educate consumers on buying products from a NMEDA qualified dealer, the ones who sell handicap vans and vehicle modifications for disabled people. It is often quoted that every human is a unique creation... and so is the disability of the individual person. No two people with disability are exactly the same. That’s just so amazing. That is why, the needs for wheelchair or any mobility equipment should be customized according to the needs of the patient. That is why, sometimes, it is not ideal to buy stuff like those online or through catalogs because these kind of stuff needs evaluation that needs personal assistant to be sure that you are getting the right driving solution customized to your specific lifestyle and needs. NMEDA is providing additional training or product refinements for their customers convenient.
.
For more information, NMEDA has two individual services: (1) Dealers and (2)Quality Assurance Programs (QAP). QAP is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry. It is based on the principle that in order to satisfy customers consistently, companies must have a systematic and documented approach to quality.
Personally, I have a passion to take care of the seniors. Although some of them are mean, that being a caregiver is known to be a very tough job, but generally they need understanding and love that a caregiver should give. The good news is, NMEDA qualified dealer could assist to make the job of the caregiver a lot easier. They brought great help to the elderly and disabled get back onto the road of independence that they really wanted.
Therefore, I suggest that if you or someone that you love needs this assistance, be sure to go to NMEDA.org and on the homepage, hit the dealers locator and type in your ZIP code and see if there is a qualified dealer near you. I tried it, too, for my mama. I needed to see what they can do for my mama. It is worth the time visiting their website and if you can, please leave me a comment letting me know your closest qualified dealer. Thank you very much.

Shark Week 2010 (August 1-7)
Right now, I am here in front of my computer while at the same time, watching television which is a yard away on the right side of the computer, showing the "Shark Week" episode at Discovery Channel. I am interested on this show because most of the incidents happened in Florida and I live here in Florida... plus, we occasionally spent some time on the ocean.
.
The Discovery Channel's Shark Week, which first aired on July 27, 1987 is a week-long series of feature television programs dedicated to sharks. Shark Week is held annually, normally running in July and/or August.
.
The current show that I am watching is "Shark Bite Summer". It is about the true tragic stories of the previous victims of shark attacks. The story are very scary to the point that I have to hold my breath, as if feeling their pain and loss, but at the same time, very informative, too. I am praying and hoping that this "Shark Week" annual event will give awareness to the beach-goers and will minimize shark attack victims now and in the future.

Buying Tickets Online
Posted by Gaylord Campbell
.
My sisters and I have always been big fans of Mary Chapin Carpenter. When we saw that she was coming to town, we quickly decided to purchase tickets. Since we don't all live in the same town, this was a great way for us to spend a weekend together and see one of our favorite artists. We purchased the tickets using our Clearwire and tv bundle , which made the process extremely easy. We decided to purchase the moderately priced tickets since we have all been such big fans for so long. The concert itself was great experience. Not only was the show amazing, the entire weekend was great.
.
We saw her in Chicago, so we spent the weekend shopping, eating and sight seeing. Seeing one of our favorite artists perform was just icing on the cake for an eventful, memorable weekend. The seating chart was really helpful in us picking our seats, since none of us had been to this particular venue before. We were pleasantly surprised with how close our seats ended up being, especially for what we paid for the tickets. The weekend was definitely one of the best we have spent together in a long time. We are already planning the next concert we all want to see together, its just difficult to find an artist we can agree on.

My Top 10 Entrecard Droppers- July '10
I want to congratulate myself for being on time on posting my "Top 10 EC Droppers" I was sitting down here a while ago, thinking what should I write on here, then, I was reminded to post this. I am glad. I am sure that somebody must have noticed that I barely post on my blog lately. It is because of my coming trip to Philippines that I spent most of my free time looking for something to buy online for my loved-ones in the Philippines. This will soon be over, and I am looking forward to be back on track then. My apology to everybody.
.
Anyway, here is my post of expressing my sincere gratitude to all my EC droppers again, especially these top 10 Entrecard droppers of the month of July '10. From the bottom of my heart, I thank all of you on helping me be where I am now. I acknowledge and appreciate your dropping very much. I also wants to thank even to those who are not in the list. I know who you are. May all our websites/blogs be successful always.
