How is your Christmas?

How is your Christmas? I always heard this question countless of times. Everybody wants to know. What did you got or what did Santa gave you? Christmas here and in the Philippines is very different. People just slept and don't even get at 12:00 Midnight. In the Philippines we always celebrate Christmas with joy, fireworks and food together with family and friends. I been waiting for a fireworks but nothing happen and people are seems to be snoring hehehe. I my self went to bed at 12:30 AM, but hey at least I've waited. Then when I woke up I got somethings from Santa. I was really happy when I see that Santa gave me a Sunbeam Heated Blanket/Throw. I really need one since it is getting very cold everyday. I also got a watch, chocolates and etc. Christmas is different here but its still Christmas. We had breakfast and we went to my mother in-law for dinner. We still had fun, I still had fun. Now, I'm looking forward for the New Year and thinking what it will bring.

Christmas Cookies

Christmas cookie and fun. Yesterday was fun. I was with my sister in-law's house and we made some cookies. It's my first time in their house but it feels good. Both daughter (courtney and Kate) and one son (Brad) was at the house and they are just goofy but in a good way goofy. It reminds me of my mother and brothers. When all of us (my two brother and me) was home, we always kid around and we ended up chasing each other and using our mother as a shield which ended up my mother shouting to make us stop. But it was fun and I missed them.

By the way, we made 3 different cookies. A Peanut Butter Cookies, Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and Mexican Wedding Cake. We are having fun while making a mess in the kitchen. The results are cookies made out of fun and of course love.

we just put chocolate in some of the mexican wedding cake

Antique Collectibles

There are times when you feel like to doing things or feel passionate with certain things. I am talking about antique or vintage collection. It usually started with one piece then you found another which makes it two, then three and then you won't realize you already have a collections. I am starting to collect older things. I have miniature tea pots, old books from 1890's and some fishing gear. There are many antique collectibles that can be found just right the corner, an estates sale, garage/yard sale, thrifts store, auctions and some online.

Antique collection is a very enjoyable hobby and you can also make money out of it. Don't you like to make money doing the things you love? I do. I will go to an estate sale with my husband and bought what catches our attention. Then do some research and keep what we like and sell what we don't like. So far we are doing well in eBay. There are plenty of antique collectibles out there. All you have to do is open your eyes. You can also find information about antique collectibles online and even buy online. There are online communities which focus on antique collections where member shares opinion, buy or sell and help each other. I Antique Online is one of them. You can join their community for free and enjoy meeting people which shares your passion for antique/vintage collection.

Caylee Anthony's Case

This is one of the news that I've been following lately. Caylee Anthony, a 3 years old, is missing for a couple of months and the worst part is that her own mother is the suspect. There are rumors that she is dead, that her own mother killed and dump her somewhere. Now the latest news is that Caylee Anthony is found.Or at least a body that is believed to hers.

Yesterday, an Orlando utility worker lift a garbage bag where a skull fall out of it. The skull still have a duct tape around its mouth. Police believe that it is Caylee Anthony, but they're still doing some laboratory works and some DNA testing on it. If the result will confirm that it is indeed Caylee and her own mother did it, then what happens next? How can a mother do this? I am really moved by this news. Everytime I hear something like this I can't help but ask "How can a mother/father do this?" It's so sad. I was raised by two wonderful persons. My mother and father are not perfect but never in my life I felt scared when I'm with them. Home should be the place where you feel safe and secure. Both are very loving and wonderful parents.

The body might be Caylee Anthony or not, I still pray that whoever did this will pay or be punish under our law and in God's law.

I Need Coffee

Do you ever wake up one morning and feels like not getting out of bed? That's what happened this morning. But I need to get up. My God, I need a coffee to start my day. It's cold and snowing outside. This season sucks. It's nice if you are inside and just looking outside the window. Just hope it's not this cold. Hhhhmmmm, my coffee is brewing and I love the smell of it. Hope this will really wake me up. Anybody wants to have a cup with me? LOL!!!

World's Oldest Person Died at 115

AP - Edna Parker holds a rose that she wasgiven during a birthday party for her inShelbyville, Ind., in April.
November 26, 2007, the world's oldest person died at 115 years old. Edna Parker died at a nursing home. Outlived her husband for almost 70 years and her two sons.

I wonder what her secret is. They said she never drank alcohol or smoked and lived an active life. My grandmother was the same thing, never drank or smoked and also very active but she died at the age of 85. Hhhmmmm...

This news has been in my head for a couple of days. I keep on wondering about at what age I am going to face death. As much as I hate talking about death I can’t help but wonder. Would I like to be like her? I always said to myself that if I reach 60 I’m good to go. I don't even know if I will reach 60. Do you? My husband said to me one time that if we only know when we are going to die everything will be different. Will, one thing is for sure and that is nothing in this life is certain. Today you might have a job then tomorrow you don't. I guess that's life. So whatever we have now we need to be sure to get most of it. As I said life is so short that we must live our life to the fullest.
