AVATAR The storyline along with the computer graphic is amazing.

Last Sunday 1/23/10 we went to watch this movie AVATAR. In the  morning my husband and I were browsing an avatar tickets for the afternoon show. But we didn’t buy the tickets right away  because we had to wait to his son’s reply what time would it fit to his schedule because my hubby’s son wants to come with us, and unfortunately when he called up, it was already 1:pm and all the tickets for that day in IMAX Theatre in Manhattan were already sold out. We were kind of disappointed coz it was already planned to see it in IMAX 3-D. But anyway we drove to Jersey Gardens just to see the movie in 3-D. And sure we did it. Let me tell you , this was one of the BEST movies I have EVER seen. The story line along with the computer graphic is amazing and the special effects were mouth dropping. Seeing it in 3-D is the only way to see this movie. I felt like i was in the movie myself! It’s a great movie to watch for adults and kids!   Alot of action and adventure.. Acting, editing, cinematography is exquisite. Don't go alone, take someone with you to enjoy this magical experience.  It was worth the money we paid even it costs us more. But  It surely worth it. I would love to see it again.

By the way, James Cameron who are the director of this movie,had team 3,000 people and 10,000 computers,four and a half years they worked around the clock to make his vision a reality.But it's worth it anyway, because this movie in just 4 weeks its already earned nearly one and a half billion dollars.Cameron has a brilliant imagination who dreamed the whole thing to make his dream happened.

Traveling different beautiful places it's fascinating

My husband and I are usually traveling around US and Canada only.We visit other places for many reasons but one of the reasons, my hubby wants me to experience the places that I've never been to before,I am grateful that he's touring me around here in the US.Some people travel on business, but we personally are traveling to see places of historical or environmental interest, such as the Washington DC, American Museum of Natural History NYC, Niagara Falls and Disneyland, Orlando Florida. To be there in those places is absolutely breathtaking. It was so beautiful I was speechless. I really love to wander off the beaten path. Because you never know what you will find when you explore new areas. However,wherever you go,and for whatever reason, you need to give some consideration to your safety. It is important to take precautions while you are traveling.

The US Capitol

The White House

The building behind my hubby's photo is the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, where they make US currency and you'll see millions of dollars during the tour.The tour features the various steps of currency production beginning with large blank sheets of paper and ending with wallet-ready bills.

 

This photo was taken from the upper level of the Washington Monument.

 

The Thomas Jefferson Memorial

This is the entrance door of the 16th president Abraham Lincoln's house.

One of the displays in Lincoln's room.

 

Here you can see Lincoln's room where he used to live and died here.

 

This is the Ford theater where Abraham Lincoln was assasinated. 

That's how thick the one million dollars in ten dollar notes.

One million in ten dollar bills.

House husband

 

Many people mistakenly believe that a house-husband has an easy life.When a father decides to leave his job and stay home to care for his children, he looks forward to teaching his kids and enjoying daily life with them. But he often isn't prepared for the downside. Many house-husbands get tired of the isolation of spending their days without other adults for company. They miss their friendships with colleagues at the office.Worst of all is the lack of respect from the other people who ask questions such as "but what do you really do all day?".

Exploring my new software

Today, I have nothing else to do except killing my time just exploring my new software.I was doing my very first banner.If I get tired of this one I'll change it again.

Amazing nature's scene

 

I took this picture one year ago September 9,2008 .While my husband and I were driving early in the morning to Fort McCoy Florida and we saw this very beautiful clouds and it holds a lot of rained. I quickly grabbed my hubby's phone and took a picture of it, while the car was kept moving, we couldn't stop coz we're in the middle of the highway. But anyway it was amazing scene I've ever seen, coz I've never seen like this before.And I said to myself Oh! thanks God for letting me see this beautiful creation of yours. I don't know if anyone had ever seen like this before, because for me it was very unusual .That was my first time seeing those types of clouds with rain.

Wonderful mother

I'm so grateful,
God made a wonderful mother,
No comparison, unique,

A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,

And he molded her heart of pure gold;

In her eyes fair roses you see;

God made a wonderful mother,

And He gave that dear mother to me.

Long Distance Relationship

Its been 5 years since my sweetie and i were waiting, finally our long waits its end. People say long distance relationship it doesn’t work, "but here we are" proving to the people that it works indeed!! It takes so much patience, love, understanding, trust and most of all prayers. Because without prayers were not gonna make it. It is not easy to have a long distance relationship, this is true, but the best thing we did always was have faith to each other. But now we are very happy in our marriage. I left my family for good reasons, not bad ones. I’m happy but sad at the same time, happy because I’m with my hubby and sad cause I’m far away from my family.

Happy but sad at the same time

When my parents walked me to the ailse into the altar, my mother started crying because their little girl is going to married.I know how she felt that day but I asked my parents lets not be sad coz this is my very especial day lets just be happy.But anyway it was crying of joy though. And I was kidding my mom I told her if you cry, your makeup gonna sweep away by your tears and she starts smiling. I admitted that day, I was about to cry too but I just held it coz I didn't wanna make my makeup mess. LOL.

Yeah! trying to make look beautiful even just one day. Anyway when the wedding ceremony started my mom she couldn't held her tears anymore seeing us and my father they had a little bit misunderstanding during the mass coz he didn't wants my mom to be an emotional in my wedding day, my father said to my mom, our daughter just get married. And then when my father saw my mom's eyes it looks all black because of the mascara (it wasn't waterproof), my dad said, now what? you look like a raccoon now he made fun of her. And my dad had started to wipe my mom's tears. And comforting her. They said that they're sad isn't because I'm getting married, its because I'm gonna be separated from them coz my husband would bring me here in the U.S and I'm gonna be really far away from them. Filipinos nature,when their children get married they have this emotional feelings for them, but not all parents are like that. However they are happy at the same time because I have found a good man and for that they're happy for me and they anticipated with my hubby that I won't be neglected. They trusted my hubby so much and they love him like their own son.

Well folks thanks again for your precious time reading this story of mine.
