My Day to Day Experiences

Yup, it was a hell of a party Saturday Night at the Liquor Box Club. It was their opening night, we didn’t even know until somebody posted an invitation in our friend’s myspace that they’re having a FOAM party for their opening night. The place is next door to our place so we got in free. It turned out to a huge opening because there were a lot of people showed up to party. The bar, dance floor, the whole place was packed.  They set a place up in the front parking lot for the foam. It was cold but didn’t stop people from going in and have fun. I even got in it and my dress got soaked!!!! No big deal.

Should i say hello first? hehe, I haven’t written a blog in weeks, we got so busy in the store and I’m not in the mood to write anything when my mind can’t function right because I am freaking sleepy (as Ray called me "SLEEPYHEAD").
Anyway, we went to Sea World Orlando (the last theme park we want to go in the list in Orlando)the past weekend and it was awesome. We didn’t really expect anything except Shamu (what else) but it turned out to be as nice as the of the other known parks in Orlando. I love the "Pet Ahoy show" where the dogs, cats, mouse/rat, birds do their tricks. I am a animal lover that if they’ll do a trick I will be fascinated and thrilled. The Blue Horizons where the whales and the dolphins do their tricks too. The Clyde and Seamore where the Sea Lions are funny and unbelievably smart to be able to do certain things. Save the best for last, "Believe" where SHAMU,  the star of the show  splashes everyone in the soak zone.
We went to 2 of their 3 rides: Kraken, the monster of all roller coasters, is the
tallest and only floorless roller coaster in Orlando. It will take you
to the heights of more than 140 feet and turn you upside down seven
times, all at speeds reaching 65 mph! It was pretty wicked but i love it.Journey to Atlantis! Traveling on water and high-speed rails,
you’ll be chased by spirits who want to keep Atlantis - and you - for
their own! You’ll never know what’s around the next corner or the next
drop - even when it’s 60 feet, nearly straight down. We got soaked in this ride and still loving it though because we were in the front.

The irony of things happens oftentimes, for us is the theme parks since florida is the theme park capital of the world. We been to 4 theme parks (EPCOT, MGM, Magic Kingdom & Animal Kingdom) and 2 water parks (Blizzard Beach & Typhoon Lagoon) in Disney World, 2 theme parks(Universal Studios & Island’s of Adventure) in Universal Orlando and last one is Sea World. Those are the parks we consider the best in Orlando and definitely have to go.
The last one we have to go is Busch Garden in Tampa, It’s only 10 - 20 minutes away from our house and we never went there. Now that we’ve seen orlando definitely one day we’ll see Busch Garden.

Our Valentine’s date?  A DISASTER! We went to the Casino fun cruise off of Treasure Island, Fl. I’ve been to one in Key Largo, Fl before and i was lucky that i won $300, this time it was awful that i don’t even want to go back soon.  Anyway, the weather wasn’t cooperating, so the boat was rockin’ like a roller coaster and believe it or not almost all of the passengers were sick. We thought it’s gonna be fine when we stop but it gets worst and worst every minute of the trip. All we did was ate our dinner. I saw people vomiting and i almost did myself, people lying down on the chairs and floors. It was horrible. Finally the captain decided to go back to shore. It was a complete DISASTER! My unforgettable Valentine experience.

After all the busy super bowl week and all the driving back
and forth to Miami, and now I feel
like I have my life back. We go to Miami
because of business and possibilities not just pleasure. I know Miami
is known for fun in the beach but it’s got a lot to offer than just bikinis and
boat parties. Unfortunately it is 4 hours driving but we do all kinds of stuffs
to make the trip funnier. We record TV shows to our pocket dish from dish
network where we can bring the shows and watch it on the road. It’s pretty cool,
we were able to escape commercials and scene that we don’t want to see (we
normally do that at home anyway). Actually we hardly watch live TV shows. We
record every show we want to watch to avoid commercials ;). It’s not worth
waiting for me, I will get bored watching TV with those entire million
commercials they have. I’d rather listen to a radio station than watch TV. Anyway,
you cannot believe that in the past 3 weeks we’ve been back and forth to Miami
at least 8 freaking times. It was tiring but we were able to enjoy it when were
there. What kills us is driving back to Tampa.
Last weekend wasn’t too bad, we went over there for business so we have no
choice. Hopefully that would be the last one for awhile.
At our favorite bar (Mango) in South Beach

My blog is so late, actually our wedding anniversary was Saturday January 27th. I just want to post it for my record in case i forgot where we went to our 2mnd anniversary. It was lil chilly so we decided to go just eat at a Japanese Restaurant but it was close for renovation so we turn around and saw The Melting Pot, Ray said it’s supposedly a romantic place for anniversary and it’s dark inside but he doesn’t like their food. I was so thrilled of what he said so i insist to go and eat at Melting Pot. It was definitely different than any of the restaurant that we went together before. It’s a fondue kind of thing. We chose the style of cooking and the spices that goes into it and then we have cook our own food. They just give us the meat and everything then we’ll cook it and eat it after of course ;). The dessert  was awesome instead of cheese we chose chocolate. Everything was terrific,we had a lot of fun and the food turns out to be very good.Ray didn’t know why he didn’t like their the last time.
My gift was way before our anniversary, I’m always advance(better than late right?). He gave me his gifts after work, store was really busy.
Anyways, we had a good time on our anniversary. I want to go out dancing but it was so chilly and rainy.

I can’t make it longer, latest activity is just Miami trips for the voluntary rehearsal for the Super bowl. We are going to Miami Beach tonight hoping we’ll see some of the player ;), I’m sure South Beach hoppin’ right now.

Catch ya’ll later folks….

It’s been awhile since i wrote my last blog, it’s not because i have nothin’ to write it’s because i am busy. Both Ray and I volunteered for the Super Bowl XLI. I will be posting about it when i have enough time.

We are trying to make our New Year different from our
everyday routine, it only happens once a year. Let me start from Saturday even
though it’s just a regular work.

 Saturday, I have to be in

Safety

Harbor

to meet somebody for a
possible (possible) job. Hence, Ray is not working; we just lay in bed the rest
of the afternoon. At night we decided to go to the club. I am not in the mood
to drink and besides I haven’t had good dinner because I don’t feel like eating
anything. The club had some complimentary snack buffet but didn’t eat enough to
fill my empty stomach. After a game of pool I decided to have a shot of Tequila
(not a good idea for an almost empty stomach). In between playing pool,
drinking, laughing and dancing, everything pretty much made my world round. This
was my first time since I got here that I actually throw up. It made me not think
of liquor even for New Year, not even for champagne.

Sunday, almost stayed home because I made a reservations on
the Sun Cruz at

Treasure Island

(at least do something
on New Year) unfortunately they are fully booked since Friday. We really want
to go to Cirque du Soleil in Downtown Disney in Orlando. We started to look for our tickets. We got 2 for the 6:00 pm show, perfect before the New Year’s countdown begin, the bad news was they don’t have available seats near the stage and the good news we don’t have to look up because they are doing stunts, rope exhibition etcetera. We got out from the show around 8:00 o’clock. We wander around Downtown Disney; it was quite bizarre when a couple comes up wanting to take picture of me of course i can’t just say NO with all the compliments they uttered (that was my 2 seconds hall of shame). We checked out Pleasure Island and it was $90 per person just to get in, knowing that the place is mostly filled with bars and clubs and considering that i don’t want to drink liquor after what happened last night. It’s just different when you are in the club without having a drink (just an opinion). Instead of staying in Downtown Disney, we drove to Old Town. There were way more people than what we expected. That was our New Year’s Eve.

Monday after checking out with the dogs, we drove directly to the store. I don’t want to go home because i know i will just sleep all day. We search some movie ratings and schedule at AMC movie theater. It was a blast and a movie marathon. We stayed 9 hours in the theater. We first watch  "Blood Diamond" it was really really good. "Black Christmas", "Pursuit of Happiness" just an ordinary story and setting but i love it, "Borat" we’ve seen it before and just wanna see it again and the last one was "Apocalypto" it was a really good movie but I prefer love more than just killing each other, i know it’s history it’s just i hate the killing of innocent individuals.

New Year a new beginning of a life full of challenges.
            Happy New Year. Be hopeful for a blessed and fruitful 2007!!!!

Time goes by pretty quick, it’s my
third Christmas (actually only been here 2 years now but I came during this
time of the year so I had Christmas right when I got here). We have traditional
Christmas Eve every year, to celebrate it at my Mother in law’s house in

Tampa

.
It’s always like my family in the

Philippines

;
my new family here is always warm and caring. We give gifts to each other. We
played our traditional gag gift, giving of gifts and everything will end up in
the table to grab food. Of course football game is always on.  Whew, another fruitful year has come. We’ll
just hope for another one for 2007.

We spent Christmas Day at my
Sister in law’s house in

Saint Petersburg

.
We just had more foods and talking and watching football game. When we got home
we opened our gifts for our pets too. We gave them treats. We also gave each
other’s presents. We always save the BEST FOR LAST  

We’re not supposed to be leaving this weekend because of our nephew’s birthday party but we want to get away. We haven’t done anything last weekend and it was pretty stressful at the store. Since we haven’t been to Sanibel Island in a year (is that long??? I guess yes) so we planned it for the weekend with Rocky and Bullwinkle. We left Saturday since we just gonna stay for a night and go to the beach. We arrived around 2:30 in the afternoon and the weather wasn’t participating. It was showering when we got to Island and checked in to our favorite Kona Kai hotel room (Oh not an expensive but happiness of the stay doesn’t rely on how it looks, it depends on how you spend your quality time for your whole stay, just my opinion anyways). We thought for sure they will allow pets but they don’t anymore. They were considerate because we already have our dogs and we made our reservations the day before the checking in. The funny thing is we snuck Bullwinkle in the room because they only let us bring one and Ray told them we only have one ;). We were telling jokes in our room because we can’t do anything since it is sprinkling outside. We normally do something just to make our stay worth it. So slept the whole afternoon and went to a club in Fort Myers, Florida at night.
Sunday went to the beach with our 2 beach lover dogs. It was a very nice day too. I can’t believe in the middle of December I can still wear bikini.

On our way home the Football game is on the radio and I was trying to get it in the little TV but unfortunately I can’t get it most of the time. I was been screaming in the car because the Tampa Bay Buccaneers versus The Chicago Bears was very exciting. The buccaneers had a chance to win the game but Bears won after they scored a field goal in the over time.

Oh so nice to get away from the tiresome work even just for a day.

Finally it took off Saturday at 8:47pm.
Yea, Ray and I were one of the thousand people waiting for the NASA Discovery
Shuttle’s launch. Frankly we went Thursday night at the Kennedy Space Center to witness a night launch only to be disappointed
when they announced that the weather wasn’t cooperating.  We decided to go again because we already went
Thursday and it all be wasted if it will launch and we’re not there. Surely we
got lucky the second time around. It was so cool that it lit up the whole area.
We were 11 miles from the launch pad 39 B. I’ll upload the video from the phone later fellas. It was so neat.

Week is so busy. I got an interview to the path that i’m going, hopefully i will do good and be productive on it.
