Ramblings of a Perpetually Tanned Filipina

This is my first thanksgiving in the US and I really insisted that we have a thanksgiving dinner with the traditional turkey. My husband was kind enough to give in to my demand and helped me get all the stuff we need for dinner. We invited 3 of his friends over, since both of us don't have families here (I have relatives in Clermont, but they had plans for thanksgiving too). We had this huge turkey, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, apple-cranberry cobbler, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie (the last 3 sides were still in the oven, that's why I wasn't able to include it in this photo). We just watched football after dinner and I'm glad that my husband's friends were happy about their meal. They all said I did a good job in preparing it and hearing that made me very happy because that means I am successful on my first ever hosting experience. Yeah, this was also my first time to host a dinner gathering without my mom around to tell me what to do. Today, I am

When you go to Vegas, don't just bring your stilettos or sexy mini dresses. Try an adventure worth remembering and bring an extra pair of pants, shirt, and sneakers. Get ready to experience the right and legal kind of high!  October 26, 2010 was the day we had to wake up early - 7am to be exact, so we won't miss our ride to the Valley of Fire. We were ready to experience riding the quadbikes in the desert through  Adrenaline ATV Tours . We were picked up from our hotel by Eric and he had a great sense of humor even if it was still 8am. I checked on their facebook page after our adventure and read a lot of comments requesting for Eric during their upcoming trip - I wouldn't wonder why. lol!  We went to the Valley of Fire- Logandale Trails. " The Logandale Trail System is located on the North Side of the Valley of Fire, just one hour North of Las Vegas, Nevada. This trail system was dedicated in 1998 and is truly a trail system designated for all motorized

Today's good mood is brought to you by my day off! :) I felt giddy today knowing that no one called for me to report for work. Well, I made sure I turned my phone off while I was sleeping so no one will wake me up and ask me to cover for someone. I'm not sure if the same thing will happen tomorrow, so I made sure I had the time to go to the nearest Ross Dress for Less and check some items. Before I went there, I also went to the store next to Ross which is Shoeland and to my surprise, I found the shoes that are sold on amiclubwear!

At least I saw how the shoes look like in person and not just online and be surprised when I get to order one. I didn't buy anything at that place today 'coz I am very picky when it comes to shoes.
