Working It

In 1992, EagleRider pioneered the Harley-Davidson motorcycle rental concept and the guided motorcycle tour business. Today, they are the world’s largest Motorcycle Tours company specializing in rentals of perfectly-maintained Motorcycles, ATVs, Dirt Bikes, Scooters, Snowmobile, and Watercraft.

Wow, I have never been on a motorcycle, much less dream to become an Eaglerider and ride a Harley, baby! Now I know where to go to get this adventure started. What I need now us to get me a leather jacket and some boots. :)

This tag is from Aggie and Jen. Thanks for this pretty easy tag, girls! Sorry it took so long for me to get to it. Like a stack of dominoes, I think I just needed a little push to get going. :)

{BEGIN COPY}

Rule: Copy the entire list and add your name at the bottom. And tag at least 5 friends. (But you can tag as many as you like).

Note: Please link the blog where you posted the tag :) We appreciate you linking all your blogs but make sure you post the tag in the blogs too.

I am passing this on to Tin, Abby, and Jeanny.

We all need a vacation. And by “vacation”, I mean a truly relaxing one. Not one of those where you feel you need another vacation after you’ve just returned from the last one. :) We all know that feeling, don’t we?

Well, one of the things that can help make vacation planning easier is by using tools to create, plan, and save, such as those from WeNeedAVacation.Com. One of the things that I like about the site is that registed members are able to rank ‘favorite’ properties within their vacations, and share comments and thoughts about choosing which properties to rent. What’s more, vacationers can see more of the properties they are considering renting by browsing through the videos of rental properties submitted by the homeowners. This way, renters can already see, for instance, some Nantucket vacation rentals before making a decision. No surprises, no stress.

Go on, you need a vacation. I know I do. :)

Home to the tallest building in the US and Oprah, and second only to NYC as the largest city in the country, I’m sure you know which city I am talking about.

At the time this picture was taken, Chicago was celebrating the historic win of the Chicago White Sox in the 2005 World Series. I’m sure they would have done the same for the Cubs, if that were the case.

When I think of fresh, local, seafood, the first thing that comes to my mind is Maryland Blue Crabs.

The crabs pictured above were taken at Obrycki’s in Baltimore. Obrycki’s serves the best steamed crabs I’ve ever had the pleasure in my life to eat. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that, aside from the wonderful original spices that they use, their crabs are super duper fresh. In fact, if you should ask me how I could possibly improve their recipe, I would absolutely have no idea. Theirs is the recipe that I would pit any crab recipe against. Including my mom’s if she had one, hehe.

Have you guys tried their crabs? Do you think you would you be able to suggest any way to improve the recipe? My advice: try the crabs first before you start saying anything. :)

Speaking of seafood, I myself am quite excited about the Great American Seafood Cook off happening on August 2-3 in New Orleans. If I were the one who invented the recipe for Obrycki’s crabs, I would have joined the competition in a heartbeat. However, since my only claim to fame extends to baking a passable alaskan salmon in the oven, I’m rather keeping my shrimps peeled in anticipation for this special event. The US has a lot of fresh local seafood that deserves to be highlighted as well as sustained, this cook-off will not only showcase the positiveness of domestic seafood sustainability but would be doing do so in a yummy All-American way.

Naglalaro sa dalampasigan ng Florida.

Nagmumuni-muni sa dalampasigan ng California.

Coast to coast di ba?

Ang matanaw lamang ang aking mga pinaka-minamahal sa buhay - isa na nag-eenjoy sa paglalaro ng buhangin at isa namang taimtim na nagmumuni-muni tungkol sa mga bagay-bagay at buhay-buhay - ay nagbibigay na sa akin ng magagandang ala-ala at lubos na ligaya tuwing nasasaisip ang dalampasigan, sa kanluran man or silangan.

~~~

Huling dalampasigan bago kami lumisan ng Florida DITO sa aking isa pang LP entry.

When my brother, my aunt, and I opened a small campus cafe years ago, we didn’t have the luxury of having high-quality, customizable restaurant seating product choices available to us. We had to resort to generic, low-quality commercial bar furniture that we inevitably had to replace after a few months of solid use.

Nowadays, I’m glad to see that well-designed restaurant chairs and barstools, as well as table tops and bases, are now easily available online at affordable prices through AffordableSeating.Net. You can even use their online vinyl/finish preview tool to ensure that the finished products meet all your design expectations. Their Quickship program offers a short delivery time of 7 to 14 days on selected items and they are one hundred percent confident that you will enjoy your shopping experience with them.

Bar owners, what more is there to say except, grab a chair, sit back, and relax. :)

Getting old? Wrinkles, fine lines, saggy skin? Yeah, we are getting old.

Thankfully, we can delay the inevitable process a little bit thanks to biochemist, Dr. Chantal Burnison and her breakthrough ingredient: Ethocyn. Ethocyn is a revolutionary skin-rejuvenating molecule that reduces the natural effects of aging. Her product has been touted by the American press as a fountain of youth in a bottle, largely because, when applied topically to your skin, Ethocyn allows elastin production to continue, blocking out the other chemicals that prevent it from doing so. The result? Beautiful, smooth and firm skin.

Learn more about Ethocyn and Dr. Chantal Burnison’s products by visiting her website, Chantal Pharmaceuticals, and start feeling better about yourself no matter your age.

Maver and Juliet passed on this prayer to me. I will not be tagging anyone but I do hope everyone reading this will take the time to offer a moment of prayer for the fatalities and survivors of the MV Princess of the Stars tragedy.

Prayer for the MV Princess of the Stars fatalities and survivors:

Dear God,

We pray that you comfort each bereaved family everyday as they grieved for their loss, we pray that you will supply all their needs, we pray for the survivors that they may have a good life after the tragedy, that you will bless them and let them know in the deepest part of their heart that in spite of what have happened, you LOVE and CARE for them. This we pray in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

PS. I also pray that food, clothing, medical supplies, and comforting hugs would become available for all those who need them. Amen.
