Ikebana

 Photos were taken during our visit to the Institute of Texan Cultures. One of the many traditional Japanese flower arrangements. Yellow mums are gorgeous!
According to wikipedia, Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement, also known as kadō, the "way of flowers". More than simply putting flowers in a container, ikebana is a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together. Contrary to the idea of floral arrangement as a collection of particolored or multicolored arrangement of blooms, ikebana often emphasizes other areas of the plant, such as its stems and leaves, and draws emphasis toward shape, line, form.

Mommy Moments - Dear Papa


Dearest Papa,
Where do I even start? I guess I will start by saying the first two things that come to mind. Thank you and I love you. You are, without a doubt and without equal, the greatest man I have ever known. I cannot think of a single man of any age or background that can compare to you. You have been everything as a father that a daughter could ever want or need. You were kind and loving to me, providing for my basic needs as well as giving me gifts that were extravagant. Thank you for being faithful to mama. You came home every night after work. You helped around the house, made sure the bills were paid, and loved her faithfully, even though times were very hard and there were many struggles. Thank you for everything and I love you Papa! You are the best papa in the whole wide world.

Love,
Babali (Akesha Lourice)








Cell Culture

There is a lot of information you should know about stem cells. STEMCELL Technologies offers a range of highly specialized cell culture media optimized for maintenance, differentiation and cryopreservation of hiPSC and hESC. This website tells you about how Embryonic stem cells & iPS cells have the potential for unlimited expansion with the retention of normal karyotype. They talk about the Hematopoietic stem & progenitor cells can be found in a variety of different tissues. They also talk about Mesenchymal stem cells and the Neural stem & progenitor cells. They discuss the Mammary epithelial cells and the Prostate epithelial cells as well. All of this great information can be found at Stemcell.com where you can learn the importance of Stemcell research.






Testing

You should read about Lorem Ipsum to learn more about how the typesetting industry testing has moved into the 20th century. This was the industry standard since the 1500s and has its roots in the classical Latin literature from 45 BC. This makes it over 2000 years old. The Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia discovered the undoubtable source of the word consectetur which came from a Lorem Ipsum passage. So you should read about Lorem Ipsum to learn more about it. There is a lot of great information that you can learn like how the book became a treatise on the theory of ethics.






Healthcare IT Jobs

I was chatting with my cousin on skype the other day. She is currently working as a secretary, but she told me that she is having trouble with her current job, and she is planning to switch her career. I suggested that maybe she can apply for healthcare it jobs, since she has a degree in IT. She’s thinking about it. I hope she find a job that fulfills her dreams.

Nostalgia

This photo was taken last 2008 @ Cal Expo (California Exposition). It is our tradition each year to go to this big event when we used to live in California. I miss those fun times we had in the Golden state. California will always be part of our life.
Sorry sis Rose for the late entry, been pretty busy today!






Unpredictable Weather

Living here in San Antonio is quite similar to living in the Philippines. Am talking about the weather! Weather here is unpredictable.
From 20 to 80, then 30 to 75...nay, whatever!...lol...:) 
I can't believe I carry an umbrella all the time. When we used to live in California, I only use umbrella during winter times. 
This is my entry for this week's Watery Wednesday.






Quality Management Software

There are many quality management software products on the market to help you automate the reporting of your quality management issues. However, it is important to find software that can give you the quality assurance and quality control that your company will need. You also need to make sure the software can help you comply with government standards and other important specifications. This type of software can help your company be more efficient and can help improve profitability. You should make sure that you find the software that can improve your processes and can give you the analysis of quality assurance data that your company will need.

Little Helper

Last Sunday after church, we went to Walmart to get some grocery stuff and other knick knacks for the house. We also got some flowers and garden tools.
The little miss was so excited when I told her that she can plant some flowers and do some gardening at the backyard.
 Since I was busy barbecuing, I asked her if she can water the flowers. 
Thank you anak for being helpful.
This is my entry for this week's Mellow Yellow Monday.

The rock formations were nice and the trip was interesting.
Unfortunately, the cave is nothing close to natural. There are signs of construction and human tampering rampant in the cave. I don't think if I would like to go back there again....lol!

Cross-Country Skiing

It's been quite awhile since our last snow adventure. When we used to live in California, we always drive up to sierra mountains each year to see snow. It's been part of our tradition for years, but not anymore.
Akesha was less than a year old when we brought her with us to go cross-country skiing. It was her first snow experienced.
Strapped and all bundled up! She did not even cry or get fussy during our walks. She's always been a good traveler ever since she was born.
I was a rookie at that time. I think I fell a gazillion times. I'm not always fond of snow...brrrrrrrr! One day of fun in the snow is good enough for me.
This is my entry for this week's Nostalgia. Thanks to sisRose for hosting....:)

E is for Eyeglass

I've been getting headaches lately. And I think it's because I spend much time in front of the computer. I was going to use my eyeglasses that I had last year, but it's not good anymore. My eye is getting worse. So weeks ago, we went to an eye doctor to have my eye checked. The result was fine, and the doctor advised me to wear reading glasses.
 I really love my new bebe eyeglasses. So sleek and trendy. 
I picked up my order last weekend. And I'm hoping I will not get headaches anymore. This is my entry for this week's ABC Wednesday.

100 Dogs

Do you believe that 100 dogs were slaughtered just to cut costs? The owner of Whistler Outdoor Adventures in BC, Canada claims that it was due to health reasons. An employee however claims that he was forced to “execute” the dogs due to the business taking a down turn. Investigations are now taking place to get to the root of the complaint and I hope that it will end soon. The news of the “slaughter” is now worldwide and has sparked the ire and outrage of a lot of people especially those that advocate for animal rights.






Joey Hussian

Joey Hussian, owner of Whistler Outdoor Adventures has been in the news lately. This is following news that one of his employees suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress after “executing” 100 dogs. The employee further claims that he was made to do it to cut costs following the company’s business downturn. However, the owner claims that the dogs were put down not to cut costs but due to health reasons. He has also stated discrepancies in the WorkSafeBC reports filed by the employee. Investigations into the case is moving forward so let’s hope we hear more definitive facts soon about the real reason behind this tragedy.






Whistler Dogs

I recently read a post online about the Whistler dogs in Canada. Apparently, an employee, who said he was suffering from post-traumatic stress, filed a report about “executing” 100 dogs. The employee who completed the “execution” stated that it was due to cutting costs after the 2010 Winter Olympics. A recent article however states that this may not all be true. Some of the dogs were believed to be euthanized for health reasons as stated by the owner. If such is the case, I hope it comes out during the investigation. I just hope too that euthanasia was the last resort they had for the dogs.






Outdoor Adventures

Have you heard about dog sledding? With this much snow in our country, I am sure dog sledding will be such a great experience for anyone. It's one of the great outdoor adventures in the midst of all this thick snow. Too bad there is this rumor about having some dogs killed due to the recession. The upkeep of maintaining sled dogs may have been too much for the company. I have not had the chance to check it yet but I think there are some articles or interviews about it already. I will try to find one so I can get to see the big picture behind the story.






Fashion Directory

Do you want to be fashion forward but do not know how to start? Sometimes it’s great to see celebrities donning weird patterned outfits. It really has a lot of say in fashion but then again, they are celebrities. I, on the other hand, am a simple mom living a simple life. I doubt if I can wear eccentric patterned clothes when I go out for a night of dancing. Good thing I found a great fashion directory online. Their aim is to inspire readers with their color and trend directions exclusively prepared for each season. It’s perfect for people like me who need a push to the right direction to make sure I make the right fashion statement.

Happiest Homecoming on Earth

It was June of 2005 when I first arrived here in the US. I was pretty overwhelmed meeting all Greg's huge family. I remember when I was very aloof from everyone. What do you expect? I don't know anybody except Greg.
Tickets at that time was $75.00 after military discount. I am not sure how much it is now.
Anyhow, before I left the Philippines, hubby already made a plan to go to Disneylandand and Seaworld with my BIL's family. So we went on a road trip with them to Southern California for a total of 2 weeks (round trip).
It was my first time to see Disneyland! And first time to ride roller-coasters and other interesting rides. It was a great experience. I hope to visit and bring Akesha to Disneyland someday. And take bunch and bunch of pictures.

The Happiest Homecoming on Earth was the eighteen-month-long celebration (May 5, 2005 through September 30, 2006) of the fiftieth anniversary of the Disneyland theme park, which opened on July 18, 1955. The Happiest Celebration on Earth commemorated fifty years of Disney theme parks, and celebrated Disneyland's milestone throughout Disney parks all over the globe.

This is my entry for this week's Nostalgia. Thanks to sis Rose for hosting.

Their stories all are based on fact but they are also steeped in legend. The stories of the Four Beauties remained famous until today because of their effect on the Ancient Chinese Emperors and Kingdoms with whom they were involved. Some of the Four Beauties brought kingdoms and dynasties then ruin and most of them ended their lives in tragedy.
Xi Shi was a legendary beauty of the Spring and Autumn period (770-476 B.C.) in ancient China, An apperance of Xi Shi is said to be so entrancingly beautiful that fish would forget how to swim and sink away from the surface when she walks by.
This is my entry for this week's ABC Wednesday. Thanks for dropping by!

Hawak Kamay....

"Hawak kamay, di kita iiwan sa pag lakbay, dito sa mundong walang katiyakan" (Hand in hand, I wouldn't leave you behind on a journey, in this world of uncertainties.)
Last Sunday after church, we decided to stopped by at our local grocery store to get something to eat for lunch. On our way to the store, I took a quick snap shot of hubby and Akesha hand in hand. I thought it was a candid moment.  This is my entry for this week's Ruby Tuesday.






Junk Bins

Spring is almost here and I am thinking of starting my spring cleaning early. Just looking at all the stuff I want to get rid of in and around the house makes me wonder how I can dispose it. There are so many bulky things to get rid of that it’s kind of embarrassing to dump them all on our regular garbage pickup. Because of the bulk of these items, I am thinking of renting out some junk bins, or maybe just 1 will do. It’s pretty big so I’m fairly sure all our stuff will fit in just one container.






Surrey Hotels

Did you know that 1/3 of Surrey in BC is still designated as agricultural land and is still actively farmed today? Imagine a stretch of acres and acres of land before you, lush greeneries and just natural beauty surrounding you.

I can imagine just being there, inhaling everything around me, taking a break from a mom's busy city life. Of course I would love to have my family experience this with me. I think it's a great idea for everyone to just take a break once a while, and smell the roses. Also, since Surrey is known as the City of Parks, I am sure there is a lot of Surrey hotels right in the middle of the these parks. Rooms in these hotels are the perfect place to wake up to, just the pure beauty of nature welcomes you in the morning.






Hotels in Surrey BC

If you were to go on a trip, near the US, where would you go? We are thinking of visiting Surrey in BC. Since it's one of the fastest growing cities in Canada, I am sure there is a lot of things to see and do. It's also known as the City of Parks so choosing where to stay between the number of hotels in Surrey BC will not be much of a problem. Most of them will have greeneries and natural beauty surrounding it. Another thing we would want to try is the SkyTrain. We can go to Vancouver and visit some of its popular landmarks and head back to Surrey in no time. Have you heard of the SkyTrain? Interested to travel to Surrey too?

Looking Back....

Real friends will laugh "with" you and not "at you" when you make a fool of yourself. Real friends will go out of their way to help each other and do nice things for each other and never expect anything in return. Real friends always praise each other for their accomplishments because real friends are happy to see others succeed.
When I was in the Philippines I had many friends and a core group of best friends who stood by and cheered me through the years (elementary, high school, college & work).  Hubby always make fun of me because I have different sets of friends where ever I go. He would say "I know, coz you're the IN crowd"...lol!
These are my college buddies. There were 7 of us that hung out everyday for years. We did everything together when we were in college and after college days. I miss them a lot. Looking back made me feel nostalgic.
These photos were  taken during our visit to my parents village. After our graduation day, I invited them to stay for 2 nights at my parents house. Our driver picked them up at our meeting place and drove them for  2-hours going to the village. What a rough ride! It's worth a trip though. We had so much fun together.
Three of them went home the next day. They missed all the fun that we had when we went to have a picnic at the river. 
I miss you guys! I'm looking forward to seeing you again on 2013. This is my entry for this week's Nostalgia.

Looking for Mens Ties?

My husband has over a hundred ties in his closet. He used to wear tie from his previous employer. Some company requires men to wear suit and tie, but hubby's current employer don't require it. I don't know what to do with my husband's mens ties anymore. The only time he can use a tie is during special occasions. I'm planning to donate some of them to goodwill.

Harlem GlobeTrotters

Have you ever seen the Harlem GlobeTrotters perform live? Have you ever heard of them? I heard about them for a long time. I think it was my husband who first told me about this team.
According to Wikipedia
The Harlem Globetrotters are an exhibition basketball team that combines athleticism, theater and comedy. Created by Abe Saperstein in 1926 in Chicago, Illinois, the team adopted the name Harlem because of its connotations as a major black community. Over the years they have played more than 20,000 exhibition games in 118 countries.
The Globetrotters gradually worked comic routines into their act until they became known more for entertainment than sports. The Globetrotters' acts often feature incredible coordination and skillful handling of one or more basketballs, such as passing or juggling balls between players, balancing or spinning balls on their fingertips, and making unusual, difficult shots.
You should visit their website to find out about them. Tickets are also available at their website. We paid $80+ for the three of us, and that's after the military discount.
