Praying for Elaine's Success

After so many months of review, finally my sister Elaine took her Board Exam to become a Certified License Teacher last weekend. We are hoping and praying that she will be able to passed the test.

All we can do is wait because the result will be given this coming November 2 or so. My family assured Elaine that no matter what the result is, my family will surely stand by her.

Too bad, I am not there to comfort her but it is okay. The rest of my family is still there to make sure that she is fine.

The Least We Can Expect

Last Saturday we were invited to attend a birthday party for one of my co-worker. Since my husband Tony was also working, I have to wait for him at the apartment.

We went there a little bit late but when we arrived at the venue, there were a lot of teenagers who were drinking alcoholic drinks. I even ask my husband, I thought it’s not legal for them to drink? How come they are drinking? And my husband said, they always do that Geraldine. We stay there for a few minutes before heading back to our apartment. Both of us were not comfortable, we just chit chat a little bit with Brenda the birthday girl just to give respect since she invited us.

We were expecting that there will be food to be served and everything. But there was none, so people just go there I guess to get drunk. I've seen some of my other co-workers and you can actually tell that they are drunk because of the way they talked to you.

Anyways, we are not really used to that kind of atmosphere. So before we will say something rude to them, we just say our goodbyes to the birthday celebrant.

They Betrayed Me

Is there any such thing as an Ex-friend? I had an ex-friend who will go unnamed. My only weakness that I am still trying to overcome until now, is that I am overly friendly with people that wants to be a friend with me. I've learned my lesson to be distant with people for awhile and not to trust them fully. I should have follow my instinct to stay away from them but then my mind and my heart says a different thing.

There are people in this world that are jealous with other people's success in life or for everything that the other person accomplished. For instance, this ex-friend that I've been mentioning in this blog are very jealous that they decided to start bad-mouthing me and my family way before I arrived here in the US.

At that time, I felt that I am at the very bottom of my life. I thought that there will be no solution on the problem that I've been through. I am very thankful with my family that they never doubt me nor my husband who was my boyfriend before.

In the end I felt victorious because I never let them destroy my name or my reputation. I will not go into details here for some reason. Until now,I've been asking God to helped me, so I can give my total forgiveness to them. Its hard you know, I've been hurt, humiliated,they hurt my family too just by saying things that aren't true. Its hard for me to completely forgive them that fast. I know that we have to forgive but time can only tell when I am ready to give my honest forgiveness to those people who hurt me. Its hard to give your 100 percent trust to those people who betray you in the first place.

Caution: Drive Safely On the Freeway

Every time my husband drives on the freeway, I always get nervous most of the time. Most drivers are just rude and jerks, they will switch lane without putting their signal on. There are drivers that will give you the finger, I dunno if you know what I mean. While my husband drives I will always tell him please be careful or don't drive too fast.

Every year there are a lot of casualties on the road because of drunk driving,by over speeding and many more.

A Message of Love for my Husband Tony

From the first time I saw you
You took my breath away
Then I held you in my arms
You lit the very essence of my soul
And from that day forward
I knew I was alive
For you have moved me in ways
That I thought
I would never know
And that is why
I love you like I do
As the years pass by my love
Remember that my feelings
Will remain the same
For I have always loved you
And my heart will never change

Happy Happy Birthday My Love!

with much love,
Geraldine

Going to the gym is a torture for me!

I guess I am just lazy to go to the gym most of the time. I always make excuses not to go and my husband already knew it. Usually my excuse will be , Oh hon, I am very tired right now, can we go to the gym tomorrow instead? and then tomorrow comes and if still don't have the vibes to go to the gym I'll make another excuses like, can we go tomorrow for 1 hour I promise I will do the thread mill and the bike its quite funny but true. This is the usual little things that we don't agree most of the time.

But I know to be physically fit is very important. My husband always told me that he wanted to be in shape all the time because he also works as a Martial Arts instructor and he doesn't want his students to think that he is telling them to do things and on his part his not doing it.

Its easy to gain weight compared to losing the weight off. But I know, I need to do it by myself because its my health that we are talking here. And if we love ourselves we should do things that will be of good for our own body.

I wanna scream!

Some people doesn't really care if what they do affects other people. For instance, our neighbor upstairs can't even try to keep their voice low during sleeping hours. I don't even know if they read the apartment policy which clearly states to minimize the noise from 9 in the evening until 6 in the morning.

We always have sleepless night with my husband because they always argue and you can hear them screaming, banging things and throwing things on the floor or there's even one time that we know that they wrestle each other, I even thought that the floor will eventually collapse.

There was one time that both of us were sleeping around 2 or 3 in the morning and then our neighbor upstairs started yelling and cussing each other. I woke up first before my husband, I was just listening to their arguments, then after awhile my husband woke up too and asked me, Am I just dreaming that they are arguing right now? or are they really arguing? And I said yes, they are arguing again.

We understand that couples do argue sometimes, but this one is just really crazy. I feel bad for their kids. The funny thing is that after the night they have arguments, we saw them as if nothing happens during the day time. They look very sweet but the wife always have bruises on her faces though.

Tony and I went to the park earlier this evening to try the badminton set and the volleyball set that we bought at Sears last weekend. It was the first time for Tony to play badminton and for me it was one of the many times I had played it with my family back in the Philippines.

We had a good time, it was fun. Its part of our plan to get back in shape and do physical activities. We usually do bowling every Monday or Thursday night at least with our friends, go to the gym usually every other day or practice martial arts.

We actually promised each other to be physically healthy and always do our best to eat healthy and nutritious food. Its hard but we have to make it a priority everyday.

Need Covers?

Are you planning to buy new Hot tub supplies.This is the best site to inquire about Hot Tub Covers and Spa Cover Lifter.If you are looking for the best spa cover lifter and hot tub cover now here is your chance.

There are things you need to consider before buying spa cover lifter and hot tub covers. First and foremost is the Foam Thickness-
Most of the spa cover lifter these days are tapered so that the rain, snow and ice will run off much like the roof of your house.The difference in the thickness of the foam is not only size but also load capacity, and that is the most important part of the thickness. The thicker the foam the heavier the load that the cover can withstand.

The second thing that you need to consider before buying a spa cover lifter or hot tub cover is Foam density-
Foam density plays a vital role in your insulation value and again the load capacity that your cover can endure. There are 3 levels of Foam density being used today these are: 1lbs., 1.5lbs., and 2lbs. The foam density is measured in pound per square inch. The lower the foam poundage the more open the cells of the foam are. This results in lower R-value, lower weight capacity and higher saturation points. These three points are important for the performance of your spa cover lifter. The density of your foam will enviably determine the years of service your hot tub cover will provide. The higher the density the longer it will take for the cover to become waterlogged. The higher the density of foam is, the lower your operational cost will be, but be careful of weight.

The third attribute to consider will be the Vinyl-
The vinyl used in today's high end spa cover lifter is 32 oz. and is treated with UV and mildew inhibitors which allows for more hours in direct sunlight and keeps mildew from building on your cover. Always look for covers with marine grade vinyl. With the new treatments available on marine grade vinyl fading is minimal and you can choose the darker colors to accent your yard.

The fourth one is Scrim-

The Scrim is the material used on the underside of your spa cover lifter. The primary function of the scrim is to protect the foam core from moisture. There are many different types of scrim available ranging from cheap mesh to the latest and greatest reflective full backing. We recommend only full scrim for the underside and protection of your foam cores. There are different types of full scrims as well. Some are water repellent and some are not. The best scrim out there is the reflective scrim which deflects the radiant heat from your spa back into the spa reducing your heating cost, but more importantly this material is water repellent saving your foam core and adding years of service to your cover.

The fifth is Poly wrap-

Poly wrap is a moisture barrier around the foam core. Most poly wraps are 3 mil. and are vacuum and heat sealed. The first thing to look at is the thickness of the poly wrap do not accept anything less than 3 mil and if you can upgrade to 6 mil or a double vapor seal, it is well advised to make the investment. Look out for poly wraps that are taped, these will not stand up to the moisture in your spa and cause your hot tub top to become waterlogged.

The sixth is Locks-

This is very important as there have been increased reports of accidental drowning among small children in spas. There are options available 2 locks or 4, we highly recommend 4 locks, 1 in each corner for as stated safety, and as well to keep your spa top in place due to wind. Remember to always insure that new hardware is installed for your locks as the plastic will wear over years of use. Try to replace your locks in a different location from where they were originally as the original location will be worn.

The seventh attribute will be Reinforcement-

All spa covers should have a reinforcing c-channel either aluminum or galvanized steel. Either one is fine with the galvanized steel being slightly stronger but a little heavier. This is a minor trade off and either is sufficient.

Indeed, this site is very helpful for people who are first time buyers for a Hot Tub Cover and a Spa Cover Lifter.

The Worst Headache Ever

I never had experience this bad headache ever in my life. Twas really that bad, I felt like I'm gonna passed out anytime soon. It started last Thursday while I am about to be done with my shift at work. I thought at first that it was like a normal headache.But then, it was too different than the normal headache that I had before.

When I arrived at our house, I was totally in pain and I had to take some kind of a pain reliever, the one that I used to take when I had a headache. Well, ones the medicine took effect I was alright for a few hours and then It went back again. So I have to take two tablets after 6 or 8 hours or so. I had a restless night, I was complaining to my husband that the medicine that we had is not helping my headache in anyway.

Then I noticed that the light from the sun had a weird effect on me.I had a hard time staring directly to the light, I used my sunglasses so I can at least be comfortable with the lights around me. It was totally weird, I felt uncomfortable with the situation.Every time I took off the sunglasses my head just hurts really bad and I got dizzy you know.

Saturday morning comes, and my situation is getting worse. My husband decided that we will go to the doctor so we will at least be informed on what is actually going on with me. The doctor said that with the symptoms that I have, I am actually having a mild migraine. They gave me an over the counter medicine for migraine.

I tried to call in sick at my working place but nobody is available to take my shift so even if I'm sick I am still needed to work. I was very furious but I can't complained you know.Anyways, I had to take that medicine before I start working. The effect was crazy than what I was expected to happened. My headache was gone but then I felt that the medicine had a different effect on me.I felt that my nerves inside my body is just chilling or something. Its a weird feeling, I have to moved, my hands were shaking it was the weirdest thing that happened to me.

Later, today we will be going to the doctor again to see if he can gave me another medicine that is less stronger than what he had given me earlier yesterday. Even my husband was worried and he picked me up at work.

Its not fun to have a migraine.
