Philippine Visit 2002

This picture was taken 2002, my last visit Philippines. The kids on the photos are my two nieces Precious on the left with my other niece Erica and on the righ side was my son Justin and daughter Avory.

Tulips Fest

Tulips Fest

The photos down below was 2002 during Tulips festival at Northwest Washington's Skagit Valley. My daughter just turn one year old, my son was 3 1/2 years old. And that was me behind them.

Tulips festival usually happen on spring season. Love the tulips, brilliant colors, acres and acres of daffodils, tulips, irises, and lilies entice visitors to the towns of La Conner and Mount Vernon. They come to take in the pastoral beauty, and to enjoy the annual festivities. The flower-viewing season begins with dainty yellow daffodils in mid- to late-March; a rainbow of tulips takes the stage in April. Irises and lilies follow, providing color well into the month of May.

And that's my daughter, when she was just one year old, admiring the tulips( LOL).

Choose Garlic

Choose Garlic

Almost every cuisine on our planet has found an important role for garlic and it is among the oldest known horticultural crop. Egyptian and Indian cultures referred to garlic 5000 years ago and by the Chinese 2000 years ago. Garlic's good for you. Garlic acts as a warming herb for the digestion and respiratory tract and is an important antibiotic and antiviral remedy for colds, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia, and other infections. It's an important herbal supplement for protecting the blood and cardiovascular system. Used regularly, it can slightly lower your blood pressure, reduce high cholesterol, and help prevent atherosclerosis. Garlic has long been used as a remedy for intestinal parasites. This article will help you choose good quality garlic.


1. When selecting a head of garlic, look for large, clean, firm bulbs with unbroken, dry skins.
2. Remove any green shoots from cloves because they give a bitter taste that persists when garlic is cooked.
3. Store garlic in a cool, dry place where air can circulate. There are special garlic containers in good kitchen stores, some are even shaped like garlic bulbs. These have air holes already inserted.
4. Avoid refrigerating. Refrigerating garlic inhibits flavour and dehydrates the cloves. To peel garlic, place clove on cutting board and gently press with side of knife until skin starts to break. Discard skin.

Find Free Things to Do on Weekends (for a Family)

Find Free Things to Do on Weekends (for a Family)

"The best things in life are free," goes the old saying--but what can you do for free that's actually...well...fun? Here's some pointers to explore the cheap fun things to do with your family.

1. Check your local newspaper for Community Events. Towns, cities, libraries, schools, recreation centers and the like often have free events. Check your local museums, parks, and the like for special Open House days or other events that offer free admission.
2. Explore the Great Outdoors. Outside parks, forests, state land, and the like are often free and offer a lot of fun activities like swimming, nature hikes, camping, kite-flying, and the like. Be sure to check out special events like free workshops, guided hikes, stargazing parties, and more.
3. Cook Together. You have to cook dinner; why not do it together? A family cooking project: chocolate chip cookies, barbecuing, making smoothies, making applesauce, is low cost and is fun.
4. Play together. When was the last time you played catch with your Dad? Played chess with your stepmom?
5. Create together. Get your family involved in a project, such as building a tree house out of scrap lumber, painting the living room, creating a family scrapbook, and more.
6. Have a Movie Night. Each member who's old enough to choose can designate a film for the evening to watch together. (Be sure it's appropriate for everyone). You might have forgotten how much you loved "The Wizard of Oz" until your little sister picked it out.
* You probably have tons of videos and DVDs that you haven't watched in a while, or can record any number of movies on your recorder.
* Libraries often have a wide variety of free movies FREE.
7. Read a book together. Classics like "Charlotte's Web", "Alice in Wonderland" and more can be enjoyed by the whole family.
8. What Haven't You Done in a While? What's something that you or your parents did in the past for fun, that you haven't done lately?
9. What's Hiding in the Closet? Is there sports equipment, games, art projects, and more that is disused in the attic, closet, garage, shed, and so on? Maybe it's time to try out those roller blades again, or set up the telescope in the backyard, play a game of croquet, and take your uncle's old canoe out on a trip.
10. Volunteer a lot of organizations appreciate families helping out. Donating your time to worthy organizations can be fun, educational, and a great bonding experience.
11. Check for Scholarships. Sometimes an organization will give a family a free pass if they can show financial hardship. Also, volunteering may give you free admission to museums, events, classes, and more.

Not every free event will be the best thing your family ever did together--that's OK. Try for a good time, and keep trying things even if there's some disappointments.Pack meals and snacks to avoid shelling out money on these things.
Remember: family time together may at first seem not as fun as expensive vacations, but making time together to work at having fun will probably be really good for everyone.Some free activities (like free admission) don't end up being free. Beware of events in which you'll spend money on treats, meals, games, and so on.

Save a Troubled Relationship

Save a Troubled Relationship

If you feel that sinking feeling coming on that means your relationship is on the rocks, now may be a good time to re-examine your relationship with your loved one. There are several steps you can take to put you and your partner back on the road to recovery.

Decide if it is worth it. It is a sad fact about life, but some relationships may happen to be too far gone to save. Therefore, take some time to really think about the relationship. Find out the real cause of the conflict or breakup. Is it your fault or your partner's fault? If you are in an abusive relationship, physically or emotionally, it may be best to leave and find a fresh start. If not, you must be willing to take on the following steps with a passion. If at the end of the day you still think that the relationship is worth saving, then go all out to save it. Pinpoint the problem. It is hard to fix a relationship when you do not know what went wrong. Talk to your partner to see if they are willing to try a problem-solving method known as "Plus Delta".

If he or she is willing, take some quiet time out of your day where you two can do the following:

Each person needs a piece of paper folded length-wise into thirds. Label the first column "plus", the second column "minus", and the third column "delta". In the plus column, each of you must write several things that you personally find to be good in your relationship. Ex. "our walks in the park" or "the way we wake each other up when we have a bad dream" In the minus column, individually write what you each think are some negative aspects of your relationship. Ex. "how we resort to screaming when angry" or "our lack of communication during arguments". Delta is a term used in math and science that means "change in". You should use this column to identify specific changes that you wish to make in your relationship. This can mean doing less of one thing or doing more of another thing. Ex. "more cuddle time while watching T.V."or "planning special dinner dates" or "more daily communication". Share your thoughts. It is important that these thoughts are not shared in an angry or argumentative way. You should hold each other's hand while sharing your thoughts or cuddle up together. It may feel awkward to do this if you have been fighting a lot lately, but it can make a difference.

Listen. When your partner is talking, do not interrupt them to "counter" what they said or to defend yourself. Keep in mind that if they wrote something down under the minus column, it is because it is truly hurting or worrying them. Whether their feelings seem rational or not, it is important to respect them. Take action. Try to identify some of the most important problems on each others list and find a way to fix the situation. For example, if communication was a big problem, make it a point to talk to each other for twenty minutes each day without the T.V., radio, or computer on. Maintain your progress. Be sure to apologize for hurting each others feelings and repeat the process as often as needed.

Often the best way to fix problems is to not verbalize it but just do what you know will help. That is, don't approach your partner and say "We have problems, let's discuss and sort it out." Just make an effort first without saying so. People often feel more upset when they have to face the fact that the two of you have been having problems. Showing affection and love only helps. After the first "Plus Delta" exercise, it may be more convenient to try the method verbally. Just remember to remain respectful. If you repeat the exercise on paper, you can put the old papers into a binder to look at them later as a memento to your progress. You can use this method to repair relationships with informal co-workers, friends, and family members. You can, of course, leave out the physical contact and replace with just a quite, restful environment. Agree to keep your "Plus Delta" exercises private.

Never force anyone to try something that they do not want to try. This method may not work on all types of relationships. The other party may not be ready or willing to save the relationship.

Back up Your PC and Windows XP to Bootable Recovery DVDs Using Acronis True Image

Back up Your PC and Windows XP to Bootable Recovery DVDs Using Acronis True Image

Many new PCs these days come with recovery Cd's that you can use to restore your PC to the factory default state should you get a virus or suffer a hard drive failure. Now you can create a recovery CD for your computer that contains all of your programs, files, music and even your copy of Windows XP. This way if your computer ever gets a virus or has a hard drive failure you can put everything back the way it was when your PC was working perfectly!

Purchase a copy of Acronis True Image. You can download a free trial from http://www.acronis.com, but it is recommended that you purchase the full version for all of the features.Install Acronis True Image. After your PC reboots, run True Image. Go to "Tools> Options" from the top toolbar and select the "Archive Splitting" option from the pop up menu. Choose to split archives and enter in 4000MB if you plan on backing up to DVD or enter in 650MB if you plan on backing up to CD-R. Click on "OK" and exit the options screen. Click on "Backup" and choose "I want to backup the entire disk or partitions." Select the partitions to back up. Click on Next. Select the "Full Backup" option. Click Next. Choose a place on your hard drive to save the backup files in .tib format. It may warn you that backing up to the same partition is dangerous in case of hard drive failure, or some warning like that. Click "OK". Follow the wizard's steps and let it make a backup of your system. Go to where you saved your backup in .tib format. How ever many files you see is how many DVDs you will need to make the backup. Open up your DVD burning program such as Roxio or Nero. Use your program and put the first backup file, the one with the number 1 in the file name, in your DVD project. Burn this file to a DVD. Be sure to Finalize your session AND the DVD. Otherwise you may have trouble restoring your files. Use a marker and write the number "1" on the first DVD. Repeat step 10 for each of the other backup files going up in order by number.

Once you have burned all of your DVDs, go back into Acronis True Image and click on "Create Bootable Rescue Media". Add the True Image Full and True Image Safe versions to the project and insert a blank CD. Let the wizard burn you your Bootable Rescue Media. Verify your backup that you have just made by running the "Check Archive" tool. Be sure to insert the last DVD in the backup and then check the archive from your DVD drive. This will make sure you burned your backup correctly to DVD. It should eventually ask you to insert the other DVDs. Insert them when asked. Try booting your PC using the Bootable CD you just created. You should see the Acronis Menu where you can choose to run Acronis Full or Safe versions. See if your PC can run the Full Version software. For extra safety while you are in the Full Version you can run the Check Archive tool again to make sure that if your PC was truly dead that your backup would work without a copy of Windows. It is OK to eject the CD you made while running in the Full Version.

For the most reliable backup set, it is recommended that you start with a fairly clean system prior to making backups by checking your drive for errors, running disk cleanup, deleting temporary internet files, history and cookies. You should also scan your drive for viruses and spy ware as well as run disk defragmenter.
Make backups before making any major changes to the system, such as upgrading your Operating System or adding new software. You can also make backups on your hard drive or to another computer on your network that you can write to. Make sure you have hard drive space available. Backups usually take about half of the size of all of the files on your hard drive. Backups can take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours. The more you are backing up the more time it will take to make the image.

Be sure to Verify your backup when you are done! To be 100% sure that your backup will save you you can verify your backup from the bootable environment CD that you made. Boot from that CD as mentioned above and use the "Check Archive" tool. You may need to enable cd booting in your computer's BIOS before you can boot from CD You will most likely need to purchase the full version of True Image before you can make reliable backups. There may be hidden snags or limitations in the trial so do not rely on the trial when making a real backup.
