Saturday for Grocery
Me and my husband just got home from our grocery shopping at Walmart. It's part of our weekly things to go for shopping every saturday. The first part of our shopping mostly is at the meat section as we love to eat meat! But not all of meat that i wanted to buy can be found, so sometimes i will just experiment my cooking. Last month, we went to jungle jim international market to shop for Philippine foods and yes i did found some good meat and other delicacies. And i end up cooking a roasted pig using oven and it was really good though not as good as the Philippine lechon but it has have the similar taste. Here is the photo i took after the cooking.

MIss Universe 2010
Miss Universe 2010, the 59th edition of the pageant, was held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. last night August 23, 2010. It was hosted by Bret Michaels and Natalie Morales, Jimena Navarrete, Miss Mexico, was crowned Miss Universe 2010 by outgoing titlehoder Stefanía Fernández from Venezuela. On the other hand, Miss Philippines 2010, Maria Venus Raj, made it to be in the 4th runner-up place which I am proud of.
Miss Venus who seemed to be a crowd favorite, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, answered a question from actor/judge William Baldwin that didn't seem to really be an answer. Although it wasn't controversial, Miss Philippines 2010 left many wondering about her answer, her 22 years of mistake-less existence, and why she kept thanking everybody.
The interview segment of the Miss Universe pageant can be a points killer, as Carrie Prejean and Morgan Elizabeth Woolard can attest. But with William Baldwin's question, it seemed as if Miss Philippines 2010 was going to coast through and perhaps secure the Miss Universe crown. The crowd loved her and she was the talk of the Internet going into the final round of competition Monday. But what seems like a simple question can sometimes trip a person up.

One of the common traits of quality bedroom furniture is drawers fashioned together using a method called dovetailing or English dovetailing. This method involves the interlocking of two pieces of wood, usually at a right angle and shapes.

Philippine Drama
When I woke up Monday morning, August 23, and as usual check my facebook account to know what’s new. The first thing I got into was the hostage taking in Manila.
So I checked online news for the details and courtesy of the online news from msn this is what I read:
A 12-hour hostage drama aboard a hijacked Philippine bus ended in bloodshed Monday when an angry ex-policeman demanding his job back gunned down eight Hong Kong tourists before police stormed the vehicle and a sniper killed him.
At least seven captives survived, four of whom were seen crawling out the back door of the bus after Philippine police stormed it Monday evening when the hostage-taker started shooting at the 15 Chinese tourists inside, said police Senior Superintendent Nelson Yabut.
He said the hostage-taker was killed with a sniper shot to the head after he wounded a police sharpshooter.
Police and ambulances were lined up next to the vehicle in the pouring rain after the standoff ended. Local hospitals reported seven bodies of hostages were brought in. One other hostage was hospitalized in critical condition, and five others were unharmed.
Two of the surviving hostages were wounded in serious condition and the remaining five are under observation, Hong Kong leader Donald Tsang told reporters in the Chinese territory as he expressed shock and anger at the police response.
The bloodshed rattled the Philippines and raised questions about police ability to deal with hostage-takings.
"How can I be satisfied when there were people who died?" Philippine President Benigno Aquino III told reporters late Monday. But he said the situation deteriorated rapidly from the time the hostage-taker initially showed willingness to release his hostages.

Greeting Cards
A greeting card you make yourself can be more meaningful to the recipient and just as attractive as any store-bought greeting card if you apply a few simple desktop publishing and design principles. In considering different types of greeting cards, the most basic decision is do you want a humorous card or a serious card? For nearly any occasion with the exception of condolence cards, you'll have that choice.
If the card you wish to get will be serious, there are subcategories here as well. Heartfelt greeting cards that sound as though you sat down and wrote your innermost thoughts; cards with rhyming poetry; or religious cards, conveying the message in a tone of spirituality. For a completely different type of greeting card, you can choose handmade cards individually packaged in cellophane with the envelope. These cards are highly artistic, normally cost a little more, and are usually found at bookstores. They are generally blank inside. However, if you aren't good at writing you can always buy a second greeting card that says something nice inside, then paste the second card inside of the first. When you open the homemade card, you'll see the inside of the second card. Just make sure the second card is smaller so you don't have to cut it, as it will look better that way. There are different types of greeting cards for every occasion. Birthday (including specialty milestone cards and belated), wedding, new-baby, anniversary, graduation, bar mitzvah, first communion, get well cards, retirement, congratulations (could be for a new job, new home, or any personal accomplishment), apologies, friendship, I-miss-you, romantic, Christmas card and of course holiday cards including Mother's Day and Father's Day.

Supertitious beliefs
Philippine beliefs and superstition have grown in number throughout the various regions and provinces in the country. These beliefs have come from the different saying and superstitions of our ancestors that aim to prevent danger from happening or to make a person refrain from doing something in particular. These beliefs are part of our culture, for one derives their beliefs from the influences of what their customs, traditions and culture have dictated to explain certain phenomena or to put a scare in people. Some are practiced primarily because Filipinos believe that there is nothing to lose if they will comply with these beliefs. The following are some of the different superstitions in the Philippines:
Growing up, many children are told that it is just as important to learn not to prop their chins on their hands as to learn proper table manners. Supposedly, this is akin to awaiting bad luck. Singing while you are cooking means that you will end up widowed.
Changing places at the table while eating means that you will change husbands, or divorce and marry a number of times. Other superstitions include:
•If you open an umbrella indoors, a centipede will fall down from the ceiling.
•Accidentally dropping your fork on the floor might mean that a male visitor will come by.
•After a Baptism, the parents and the newly christened child should rush out of the church ahead of the others.
Some of these superstitions also cross over into other cultures. The tradition of wearing polka dots and filling up your pockets with coins during the New Year seems related to Chinese superstition. In both Filipino and Peruvian culture, dumping your purse on the floor can mean that you will go poor. This may have something to do with the Spanish influence on both countries.

Wood Shutters
Historically, homes had shutters for protection from the sun as well as the elements. Most styles of exterior shutters afford homeowners good protection against various weather conditions. Custom wood shutters also protect against winds, snow, and hail. During the summer, close the shutters on the windows where the rising or setting sun shines in. In winter, close the shutters that might be exposed to the north wind, or when a storm is coming.
To cool your home in an environmentally way, consider louvered shutters. Louvered wood shutters have several slats laid across the frames, with small gaps between them. Closing them allows you to air out your home without letting in too much heat or sun.
The windows to your home should reflect your personality and style. Solid wood shutters are available in a wide variety of styles and materials, and will make any home they adorn stand out. Besides lowering the cost of heating and cooling your home, shutters also protect your draperies, furniture, and carpet from sun damage.
Being exposed to the sun can damage curtains and other cloths. Bright colors and dark colors may fade or streak; eventually, even dry rot may set in on draperies. The sun´s rays can also damage leather furniture.
