Take-out, deliveries or eating out is a far and apart occasion for my husband and I. Reason being, we love to cook. We prefer to cook, not only because it's money-saving, but most importantly, it's healthier. When we cook, we control the ingredients that we put into our food, as opposed to ordering take-outs or eating in restaurants where you really do not know the quality of ingredients they use in your food. But this is not to say that we do not enjoy eating out every once in a while. Like tonight for instance. My husband took me to Christy's for a nice little dinner date. Since it is my first time in this restaurant, allow me to write my own review of the place basing on our experience. Christy's is a 4-star restaurant that has a warm, cozy ambience conducive to dates and power meetings. It's a little pricey, but its reputation preceeds the place. I've heard of a lot of good things about this formal dining place so I had high expectations in going there. ...

Thanks to Holly & Vicky for this. Here is my result. When I was younger, I did want to become a CNN correspondent........ You Should Be an Artist You are incredibly creative, spontaneous, and unique. No one can guess what you're going to do next, but it's usually something amazing. You can't deal with routine, rules, or structure. You're easily bored. As long as you are able to innovate and break the rules, you are extremely successful. You do best when you: - Can work by yourself - Can express your personality in your work You would also be a good journalist or actor. What Should You Be When You Grow Up?

You watch it on the news. You read it on the papers. You hear it over the radio. But you never imagine that it will happen to you. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I’ve just been flashed! Yes, some pervert walked towards my direction and showed me his full package! I’ve never been so disgusted and horrified all at the same time in my life – and all I could say was “in Jesus name!.” It all happened yesterday afternoon at Publix’ parking lot (this is a supermarket, for those not from Miami). I was busy unloading the grocery on to the back of my SUV, but I noticed that there was this big white pick-up truck (either an F150 or a Tundra) that was approaching slowly. I thought that the driver was waiting for me to pull out so he can have my parking space. I never looked up to see, I just continued unloading the bags until I got done. Meantime, I noticed that the white truck chose to park to my left side, a car away from me. As I was fully backed out of my parking space ready to drive away, the dr...

It is with great joy that I share with you the latest news about my father. He had his lab tests done the other day. According to his doctor (an Internist), the results came out very good - meaning, his blood sugar, creatinine, cholesterol levels, etc., are all low. These levels apparently are low enough that the doctor decided to reduce the intake and discontinue some of the medications my father has been maintaining since months ago. Also, my father has gained a bit of weight, from 56 kilos last November, to 59.5 kilos as of yesterday. Praise the Lord! These news are like music to my ears. We've not had a positive development in a while as far as my father’s health is concerned. That’s why I am very thankful to God, for this could only be because of His healing touch upon my father’s life. I do hope and pray that good news will keep on coming until my father's full recovery. According to my earthly, limited mind - he still has a long way to go. The wounds from the surgery on...

Since the late part of December 2007, a few of my work colleagues and I have started to come together for a morning prayer in our office. The construction industry has suffered a great set back lately with the slowing down of the real estate industry, and our company, being in the windows and doors business, is of course affected by it to some degree. We have seen many changes occur within the company in the last few months and I would be a hypocrite to say that I've not been affected. Seeing those changes take place have have created a feeling of uncertainty and insecurity inside of me. And I am pretty sure that my colleagues feel the same way too. So, this morning prayer happened just at the right time – a proper response, I would say, to a situation that is beyond any of our control. Needless to say, these prayer sessions are focused on the company we work for – for its management, business deals and decisions, its workers and for whatever special prayer concerns and requests t...

No, I’m not referring to the Iraqi war or some bloody revolution. Rather, I’m referring to another type of war that is done on a whole different level -- it is a revolution, alright and violent at that! What I am talking about is the revolution that takes place in the spirit when we are waging war on our knees ! Here's something that a friend of mine (Salome) shared and I would like to pass this on to you. This is one of those paradoxical principles in the kingdom – “that to attain true peace we must war for the truth”. To understand what I am talking about, read the article below. I pray that as we learn to go to “war”, the REST and the PEACE of God will reign in our lives this 2008 no matter what adverse circumstances we may find ourselves in. God bless you. ============================================================== How do you find rest in the midst of war? Well, we all know that the prophets have prophesied that this is a time of war in the heavenlies and those who contend ...

Earlier tonight my hubby displayed his culinary skills by whipping up a super-dooper, wonderful meal. Our friends, the Logans and Aguirres minus Vicky (she was in the hospital with her grandfather) came to our house and joined us for that scrumptious restaurant style but home-made goodness dinner. Joe made a creamy onion soup for starters, grilled a skirt steak rubbed with southwestern seasoning as the entree, and not to be outdone was the cheesy twice-baked potato side dish. Yum'oh! To finish it all off, dessert was the outrageously chocolatey brownies baked by moi -- you can't have too much chocolate! Perfect with a hot cup of coffee ! (Recipe from Barefoot Contessa, for all you Foodnetwork fans out there!) It was a nice time with friends - a little crazy with all the kids running around and our dog Prince barking so much... but it was a "homey" kind of crazines. And hey, we gotta get used to this craziness if we're going to have children of our own, right? To...
