4th of July Celebration

I was celebrating my very first 4th of July as a citizen of the United States with hubby and friends by the beach. We drove all the way to San Pedro since the host live nearby the area. We arrived around 12:30pm and oh boy.... the place is packed with people probably around 20,000 people in the state beach. Good thing is they don't allow alcohol. Filipino food was great, we had variety of delicious food in the table. Had fun meeting the people that I know again and counting new friends. My husband and I set-up our canopy in the sand and he was relaxing and reading under our canopy. Thanks God even the windy is about 30-40mph our canopy survived. The sun was up because of the wind it feels a bit cold when you're in the shade. Laughter and dancing and we all are having fun and of course including all the husbands. We had games and I am on the blue team and going strong *wink. We won the sack race and beat the pink team, yeah! I had a bad feeling that I am going to have body ache when I get home because of the activities going on in the afternoon. I remember my teen years again, spending time outdoor with friends, playing games and having fun.

Early evening a few hours before the fireworks, good thing we dropped off our stuff in the car first and came back to the beach to watch the fireworks. Took a few pictures with friends to remember the fun we had during 4th of July. Fireworks starts at 9pm so we still have a lot of time to eat, talk, laugh, dance and more pictures taking.... Though soon we gonna have laugh lines at least this shows that we are happy, right?

Fireworks were amazing and beautiful. We sat on the bench watching the flakes of fire dancing in the sky and listening to the loud sound of celebration. The fireworks ran around 20-30 minutes after that people are starting to get moving because of the crazy traffic they don't want to be stuck for hours and so do we. Say goodbye to friends with a hug.

It was another successful 4th of July celebration.

Happy Birthday America!!!

Taking Chances

Sometimes we are so unsure if the road we are taking is the right one. We are all taking chances with a lot of decisions we make and hope for the best. One of the most stressful stage in life that many people are facing either changing jobs or moving to a new place for some this may not apply but a lot of people do feel the pressure. As we look at the economy right now and the unemployment rate across United States, so many people lost their jobs and some are forced to move to another location hoping that they can find a job.

The job where am at right now is not really the one I pictured myself working for many years but as bad the economy is and I want to have experience to set my feet in the doors of opportunity I have to take whatever I think is decent and that I learn something out of it. For the first few months it's challenging but when I started to have the rhythm of my daily routine at work everything is starting to become plane unless there's something new that keeps me going to resolve an issue. Even right now I am still unsure if I am going to last in this very small company that I am working with. Right now I feel like I am in the limbo and feel so unsecured if the company is going to keep me longer or letting me go. Though I feel like I did an excellent job with my responsibilities also according to my controller's monthly reviews, but still the gray area is still very obvious because the company's financial status is not very strong.

So many uncertainty in life and it's so hard to find answers right away. We always take our chances and for every little decisions we make that could make a big impact in our life including the life of the people you love.

Michael Jackson's Death

Its all over the news today the death of King of Pop "Michael Jackson". The cause of his death is cardiac arrest. As soon as I heard the news I told my officemates the major news of the day. My supervisor said, " You have got to be kidding! Seriously?" That was his first expression. Another officemate of mine said, "Seriously?" We all stop what we were doing and went on-line to see what's up with the major news today.

I was surprise myself because he was pretty young, died at the age of 50? He doesn't even look like having a heart problem. You just never know when you time is right? I texted some of my friends and actually a good friend of mine who received my text told me that she's crying. I guess if you are really a big fan of the singer you really going to feel very sad.

He is indeed created one of many best music that also influenced many. I would say that even he had ups and downs while he was still alive. His music stays more in the heart of many people.

RIP. Michael Jackson. Your fans are going to miss you but you left music that will keep you alive to many people.

US Beat #1 Soccer Team in the World

I can't believe how fun the soccer game was. I bet many people are stunned when Spain the number one soccer team in the world was beat by USA which in #14 standing. USA snaps Spain's 35 game unbeaten streak, now US advances to Confederations Cup Final. USA team had the great team work ever. Spain did a great job keeping the ball but USA did better by stopping the ball to get in the goal. Howard the goalie is so great! Go team USA, team Howard! Team USA really showed how much effort they give into the game they stretch every single nerve of their being to stop Spain. I felt so bad for Donovan Bailey though.. I wish he's staying in the game but he got the red flag.

I am so looking forward to watch the final... I am not a super big fan of many sports but I think am starting to like watching.

Laptop in Heat

I don't know what's wrong with my laptop lately. Even leaving it on for at least 30 minutes or an hour it gets very hot. I should probably take this to a computer repair shop to get this check up. I probably been using this computer too much? Maybe before when I wasn't working a few months back then. Well right now I use this baby at night when I came home and play this addictive facebook game Farm Town. I have got to control myself overplaying this game but sometimes it's just too addictive that I couldn't get enough of it.

Where are you google?

I still can't believe that I have this url for quite sometime now yet google haven't recognize it. I don't know if google can find this blog or not. But didn't really get any PR at all =). So far haven't receive any generousity yet. Hopefully one of these days.

Actor in the Neighborhood

I heard that this actor Richard Dreyfuss bought a house in Rancho Santa Fe by Olivenhain. I was thinking to check him out to see him in person. His house is about a mile and a quarter from from house.

I was gonna drive by in the neighborhood yesterday yet I rather go to the grocery store and buy my food than driving around. I can have some other time to drive by where he live.
