Scenic Sunday

One of the parks here in Eugene, I like this place. Please join us in Scenic Sunday. Just post your scenic shots and link to the site.

Trying Times

I visited a debt consolidation website and read what it is about, I got a pretty good information on what it is all about. This website has articles about bankruptcy, credit cards, and all kinds of articles that you'll find helpful in this time of crisis. What caught my attention was the Debt Free Living. I totally believe this because that's how I lived in my country. If you can't afford it, why go through owing money just to get the thing you wanted then suffer later when it gets bigger. This website also offers debt counseling and debt solution. I highly recommend checking this site. 

This Is Funny

Talk About Dying

It's funny how Steven and I would talk about dying and if he started talking about what I should do when he dies, I would start crying. Sometimes he would would stop but other times he would tell me what I need to do. If I talk about me dying, it's fine with me. I just won't be able to take it if it's him. He took a life insurance for both of us. I'm glad that if I die first he gets something. It's amazing that people created companies like life insurance lead just to help those left behind by loved ones. I would be worried if it's my time and leave Steven and my family with nothing. If you are considering to look for insurance companies, just check on the link to this post.

Picnic

Yesterday, Steven and I went for picnic after church with friends who are also from church at Richardson Park. It was a beautiful day but hot! I am so dark now! :( I don't like being dark so much. I'm glad I didn't get burned a lot. It's painful and uncomfortable. Oh yeah! I should start aloe vera plant, that would be soothing for burns. 

It was fun! It was just nice to relax and talk with everyone. I'm just glad Steven's sister let us borrow her van. It was really nice of her. 

KettleWorx Works

The fitness exercise called KettleWorx is created by Ryan Shanahan who is a fitness expert. I got a chance to try KettleWorx for two weeks now and I can't tell you how much I appreciate this fitness exercise. It was just in time because my clothes from eight months ago don't fit me anymore. After just using this fitness exercise, I can fit on them now. I lose 4 lbs is just 2 weeks of using. I'm so happy!

KettleWorx comes with a 5 lbs. Kettlebell for women, 9 exercise dvds. 1 introduction dvd by Ryan Shanahan and 1 companion guide to the six week KettleWorx Body Transformation. It's a guide for you to use that will show what your diet will consist of, measuring your body and just about everything you need to be healthy and fit. I love it!

I had to show it to my husband who loves to exercise and he watched the exercise dvd with me. He also thinks it's a really good fitness exercise and not to scam people. He said someday he will stop going to the gym and will just order KettleWorx.

I am so glad I tried KettleWorx. I really, really recommend buying this fitness exercise. It will work even for those who are really busy with busy women and moms because it comes with a 10-minute Fast Fat Burn video. I know you'll love it as much as I did.

I have received this product for review and was paid for the amount of time to use it and give my honest opinion.

My New Hobby-Gardening

I have a new passion now, planting herbs! Fresh herbs are really expensive here. For a small amount of herbs in grocery stores, it cost way too much. I don't use herbs a lot because of the price. I can still cook without it but they add flavor to your cooking. 

I asked my mother-in-law for a small amount of dirt yesterday so I can replant my flower that was dying. She said she ran out already. Then when we drop her at a grocery store, she got me a big bag of soil for planting. That made me want to plant! She is really nice.

Today, I couldn't stop telling Steven that he needs to come with me to buy seeds for me to plant. He said he will do what his wife wants. Yesterday I went fishing with him so it's his turn :). I got basil seeds for now. I love fried basil with pork. I tried planting some of the seeds using pellets and some in egg carton, others in pot.

Natural Appetite Suppressant

My friend told me about a natural appetite suppressant that singer-actress Beyonce used for slimming. She said I need two tbsp of lime juice, 2 tbsp of honey, and 2 tbsp of cayenne pepper. Mix it with 8 oz of water an drink it. She said to be careful because it will make you go to the toilet a lot. If you want another method also, lipo-6 black is also one. I will try the Beyonce method soon. I want to see if it will work for me. I am hesitant with cayenne pepper but who knows, it might work.

Mother's Day

We made pizzas for Mother's Day celebration yesterday. We brought it to my mother-in-law's house and baked it there. I made a ranch pizza with bbq chicken and I ate 2 big pieces of it. Steven was really disappointed that the pizzas became soggy. It was still good and special. During lunch though before eating those pizza, Steven gave me a treat at a coffee shop. It was so good and really loaded with calories. Then I had rice when we got home and then the pizza and chocolate cake I made. I know I have gained and really trying to lose weight. Sometimes it makes me think of using diet pills with ephedra so I can lose easily someday. Now I must concentrate to really be disciplined with my eating.

Scenic Sunday - Florence

This is my Scenic Sunday post. Taken in Florence, I like this statue. 

Seafood

No matter what I try, I am still tempted to eat a lot. Last night, I had to cook the crab Steven bought for me. Sweet! I just can't help not to eat. I need an appetite suppresants. Maybe there are natural ones that I could take. I finished half of the crab today. They have big crabs and it's as yummy as a crab can be. I love it!

I hope someday Steven and I could go crabbing. I would love to catch my own, cook them, and eat them. Seafood is really amazing! It's really dangerous too. Oh, Steven was able to catch two fish and his brother was able to catch four. They went fishing for trout. Yum! It was good!

Caregiving

I got to talk with my friend who was my classmate at caregiving today. She said she is working and making good income. I'm really happy for her. I always want to work as a caregiver here but I need to study again and take the license. My problem here if I go on private is not being able to drive and have a car. :( Someday.

Pet Parrot

Steven and I are still deciding whether to have a tv when we move to our new apartment. Our lease ends in August. I feel sad that my friend Nettie won't be able to pick me up whenever I go to quilt ministry. She brought me to her house one time to eat lunch with her first before going on a hike. The tv was on and guess who was watching? Her sister's pet parrot. It was funny! I did like her tv stand. It's one of those modern design and really beautiful. It is one of the tv stands that I like.

Farm Town

I am addicted to Farm Town game in Facebook. It's a game about building your own farm by planting Plum trees, Apple trees, vegetables, and many others. You can have cows, horses, and other farm animals. It's really fun and truly exciting. I love the Plum trees because it gives out great color and cherry trees also. This game is one of my favorite and it's just amazing how someone could create a game like Farm Town. Brilliant!

Sunday School Helper

Two of my quilting friends asked me to substitute for them at a children's Sunday school in our church this month. One is going away for anniversary celebration while the other for hiking. It's only for two Sundays so I accepted. Last night, all the Sunday school teachers met with the pastor and they also made me join. I thought I was going to just sit there and listen. Then the pastor started discussing about the need for a copier person, once who will prepare the materials for all the teachers to use during the teaching. I just suddenly felt the urge to take it. I whispered to my friends I'd like to do that but with another person. I decided to talk to the leader at the end of the meeting. However, lol! My friend Nettie raised her hand before the meeting ended and told the pastor I want to do the copying and preparing of materials. It was funny! I didn't want everyone to know yet but it's okay. I really felt God wanted me to do this so here I am Lord, for your glory! :)
