Cheap Prescription Eyeglasses

A couple of weeks ago, I ordered my prescription eyeglasses with a clip on shade online at zennioptical.com. After a couple of weeks, my prescription eyeglasses arrived through mail. I really love it because the frame look so nice not to mention that it's a lot cheaper than those at the opticals in our place. I just ordered one for my hubby yesterday at Zenni Optical. The prescription eyeglasses that I ordered for my hubby comes with a magnetic sunglasses so he can use it while driving out in the sun. We saved a lot of money by buying from Zenni. So if you're looking for a cheap but stylish prescription eyeglasses online, just go to their site. You will find huge selection of frames, with single vision lens, sunsensor (potochromic)lens, tinted suglasses lens, bifocal lens and progressive lens. The Secret to Zenni’s low prices is that they sell only their own manufactured frames direct to the customer, with no middlemen and virtually no advertising budget.

Serving Our Lord On His Day

It's the day of the Lord and it's been a good day today as usual. We had a good worship service in our church this morning. My friend Shiela called after lunch and invited us to go to their house for another get-together party this afternoon but hubby and I opted not to go. I was just too sleepy after lunch and I just wanted to relax and get a nap. Hubby and I decided to watch a comedy, love story movie. After that we went to attend the evening service in our church. Our former pastor who is already retired was there with his wife visiting. It was good to see them after more than a year since he retired. They were asked to render a special song and I just love listening to their favorite song, Ship Ahoy. That's there trademark song and they sang it beautifully. Our pastor delivered very good messages this morning and this evening. After the service tonight, we had some refreshments at the fellowship hall because it's one year anniversary of our Pastor in our church today. We had some drinks, cake, ice cream and nuts. Then our pastor and his wife were given their anniversary presents from our church, a GPS for pastor Turner and a bouquet of roses and gift card for Ms. Marsha. It's been a year since Pastor Turner and Ms. Marsha joined our church and they've done a tremendous work in our church. We are so blessed to have them and we pray that they will be with us for many more years to come to do the work for the Lord.

Stayed Home On The 4th Of July

Hi everybody! How was your 4th of July? Hubby and I just stayed home all day yesterday. I asked him if he wants to go to Sheppard AFB to watch the show there and also the fireworks. He said it's too hot out there and that really made me not interested to go. I can't stand the heat out there. I tell you, summer here in Texas is hotter than in the Philippines. Three years ago, hubby and I together with some friends of ours went to watch the 4th of July celebration in Burkburnett. There were lots of people around the park where we waiting for the fireworks to be lighted. Now I don't think I can handle the crowd especially with the hot weather out there.

Hubby was busy yesterday cleaning our van. He cleaned it in and out. He even waxed it and it became so shiny. While he was busy out there, I was also busy doing the laundry. Then I cleaned the milkfish, removed the big bones, marinated it with soy sauce, vinegar, pepper and garlic powder and after an hour I fried it. It reminded me of the boneless bangus that we used to eat in the Philippines. My hubby love it.

It's Me Again

I've been waiting for some opps today but it seems like I had the wrong timing. Whenever I browse the opps, they are already grayed out. I was only able to grab 1 opp today which I posted in my other blog. Oh well, it's better than nothing.

By the way, I was going through the videos that are in my camcorder and I thought of sharing one here taken at the park when we had a picnic there last June 13. It was my hubby who took this video and see how bad he took my video. Sometimes he cut my head and also his hands are shaky when he takes videos or photos. I always complain to him that my photos and videos are not that good when he's the one taking it. Who else would I ask to take pics or video of me except him so I can't really complain. Besides, he's the one who bought my camcorder and my digicam and I do love the man.

My Hubby Preached During Song and Preach Fest

It's the 5th Sunday of the month today and as usual, we had the songfest and preachfest in our church this afternoon which started at 5:00 PM. We do this every 5th Sunday of the month. There were many people who signed up for the singing and preaching. My hubby was the first one who preached. It's supposed to be a 5 minute preaching for each preacher but hubby preached longer than that. He preached maybe around 10-15 minutes. He's not used to preaching short messages. While he was preaching I took photos of him but I turned off the flash of my digicam so as not to distract the audience's attention.


Then after my hubby preached, Chris, a 15 year old teenager preached too. It was his first time to go up the pulpit and preached. It blessed my heart to see young people volunteer to preach the Word of God.

There were 6 preachers who participated in the preachfest in our church this afternoon but I forgot to take photos of the rest.
Below are some of the photos I took of those who participated in the songfest.



After the program, we had some foods at the dining hall. I brought some spring rolls. There were lots of foods and desserts and as usual, I got full.

Kids at VBS

This past week, our church had the Vacation Bible School (VBS) for the kids. There were an average of 50 kids who attended each day. The VBS started last Monday from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM and ended last Friday. Hubby and I were able to attend Wednesday night. The kids were all so enthusiastic to learn and participate in the activities. They had also some crafts like making beads bracelets. I had fun assisting them how to make their bracelets. While they were instructed to put the beads one by one, the teacher asked them what does each color reminds them of. Then she will tell the kids what the color of each beads stands for. The yellow or gold reminded her about heaven because the Bible says that we will walk in the streets of gold in heaven. The black stands for our sins. The red reminded her of the blood of Jesus that was shed for our sins and the white stands for purity. Each kid has made her/his own bracelet. Then they had snacks. How blessed the kids are in this country. In the Philippines, we also had VBS in our church but it's not as fabulous as the VBS here in the US. Some bigger churches here even have inflatable games, ventriloquist and other attractions. Our pastor announced this morning that there were 5 kids who got saved and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior during the VBS. That's the purpose of VBS, to broadcast the gospel so people get saved.

I took photos during the VBS and here are some of it.



There was this little girl who was so cute and she even wanted hubby to hold her. She was holding hubby's leg and wanted hubby to carry her. See was a cutie!

Busy In My Garden

My vegetable garden in our backyard is flourishing now. My squash is growing fast and spreading. In fact I have already harvested lots of squash flowers and I put them in my fridge. I still have some frozen squash flowers from last year. I have also seen a couple of small squash coming out. This morning, I pulled out the weeds that are growing fast and competing with my squash. I was in my garden early this morning before I ate my breakfast and I didn't noticed the time. I was so preoccupied pulling out the weeds and cleaning my garden. Then I watered my vegetables. While I was in my garden, the neighbor's dogs had seen me and they barked at me. I told those dogs to shut up. Those dogs get into my nerves. The loosed dog that I blogged the other day is tied now. But I have to look at him once in a while to be sure he doesn't get loosed. I already had the phobia that he will get loosed and will come to our yard and bite me. Pitbull dogs can't be trusted. It was already late when I ate my breakfast this morning. I had to finish my task in my garden before it gets too hot outside. Then I went in and had my breakfast. By the way, I took some photos of my squash the other day. Want some flowers?

Summer Camping In Your RV!

My hubby used to have two used RVs that he bought before he met me. They were still here when I got here in the US. But the thing is, he never used it to go camping. He was so busy doing some other things and besides those RVs needed to be fixed before we can use it. Hubby didn't have the money to have it fixed so he just sold both of them. I've been wanting to have an RV so hubby and I can go camping this summer. I was browsing the net for RVs for sale when I came across this site that sells New RVs and also use RVs. It would be nice to buy one for us but we need to come up with the money first. I'm looking forward to owning an RV so we could be on the road and not worry where to sleep. We can just park the RV in those RV parks out there.

Scared By A Dog

This morning I was at the backyard and I just opened the gate leading to my vegetable garden to gather the squash flowers when the neighbor's dog ran towards me and kept barking. I was so terrified and I had to back off and closed the gate. The dog kept on barking at me. I threw him bricks and anything that I can grab I threw it to that damn dog. Then I went inside the house. I was mad because I wasn't able to get the flowers of my squash. That dog used to be tied at our neighbor's backyard but it got loosed. Their backyard is just beside my vegetable garden and I always see those dogs whenever I am in my garden but they were tied. My neighbor has a lot of dogs. Our fence is just a cyclone wire so I can see the dogs and they can see me too. I went inside the house then I decided to go to my neighbor's house to tell them that their dog in their backyard got loosed and they need to tie it. I knocked their door many times but nobody opened it. So what I did, I went back to our house and called the Animal Control. I told them what happened and they came and talked to my neighbor. I've seen the officers at my neighbor's front yard talking with my neighbor. Then they left. I'm still scared to go to my garden at the back though. I'll wait for my hubby to check if the dog is already tied. I called him by the way and told him what happened. He said that I should have not called the Animal Control. I told him why shouldn't I. The dog scared me and almost bit me had I not backed off and closed the backyard's gate. I told my hubby if that damn dog will get loosed again and come to my garden, I gonna poison her. Hubby said I shouldn't do that. He said he'd rather shoot that dog. I told him that's better, he-he-he!!!

Beating the Competition Before it Beats You

When I was still in the Philippines many years ago, I remember we always watch the fight of Mike Tyson. Our family loves to watch boxing and we really admire Mike Tyson. He was so good and he always look so confident and calm during his fight. In fact he was the heavyweight boxing champion many times. With all the audience and and adoring fans watching him all over the world during his fight, he doesn't look anxious or nervous. Nowadays, athletes can beat the stress of their sports competition before it beats them. How? By taking AbsoluteCalm before each competition. The purpose of the product is to calm the body and relax nerves before/during activity to make individuals feel refreshed and focused. Athletes tend to get nervous and have anxiety before a big game or competition. Absolute Calm helps to calm the mind and relax the body, but it won't make you sleepy. The all natural Magnolia Extract naturally controls stress without any undesirable side effects, and may also reduce unwanted cravings that often come with stress. It is safe and effective for all types of athletes, from runners to wrestlers to baseball players.

This Is Amazing

A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?' The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.'

To which, his father said 'Yes' .

For those who didn't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island .

Father and son went on to complete the race together. View this:

Lunch At Grandy's

When we were on our way to Alvarado last Tuesday, hubby and I stopped at Highway 287 to have lunch. We wanted to go to Dairy Queen but it was on the other side of the road so we opted to go to Grandy's. I've seen in their menu that they have a country steak meal and it was their special for that day. Special means the price is discounted. So hubby and I ordered 2 steak meals with 2 side dishes each. I ordered fried rice and coleslaw for my side dish and hubby ordered macaroni and cheese and French fries. I tell you, that was the cheapest lunch we had in a long time in a restaurant. We only paid $7.98 for 2 meals. Their steak was good and they even gave us 2 dinner rolls each. I was so full after that. It was my first time to eat at Grandy's and I like it there. The next day, we went to eat again at Grandy's in Alvarado and I ordered the same menu. But it was not the special of the day so we paid more. Besides, the prices in Grandy's Alvarado are higher than in Hwy 287.

Memorable Vacation

One city that my hubby and I have been to was San Francisco. Our friends took us there when we went on vacation at their house four years ago. I tell you, the view there is so pretty. We went to see the Golden Gate. I always wanted to see it when I was still in the Philippines. I was so fascinated when we were on our way going there. We passed by the bay areas and when we were finally at the Golden Gate, we took a lot of pictures and video. We saw from a distance the Alcatraz. Then we drove across the Golden Gate bridge and we went to see the other side of the bridge and we took pictures there again. We then drove around the streets of San Francisco and we took photos on the street in front of those tall buildings. Then we drove to Lombar Street. I call this the long and winding road and we were driving slow for the sight-seeing. Then we decided to get off the car and stop the traffic just to take photos. I guessed the cars behind us got mad because the road was one way and they had to wait. We then went to visit one of my classmates in college who was already residing there. But we got lost on the way being first timers there. We managed to find his place after several turns and it so happened that it was his daughter's birthday. So we had fun eating and chatting.

The Fate Of My Sweet Potatoes

My hubby got up early yesterday while I was still in bed fast asleep. When I got up, I looked for him and I've seen him at the backyard cleaning. He was done doing the mowing and our backyard looks clean. Of course I have my vegetables that I planted in my backyard like okra, tomatoes, collard greens, squash, beans, bitter gourd (ampalaya) and sweet potatoes (camote). He had watered them too. Then this morning, I went to harvest the squash flowers in my garden. While I was walking around, I was so devastated to see that my sweet potatoes had been mowed out. My hubby mowed it with the grass yesterday. The sweet potatoes had already a bunch of leaves and tops and I was so happy a few days ago looking at it. I was even planning to get the tops for my sinigang one of these days. But this morning, I wanted to cry because just a few vine were left in my sweet potatoes. I went inside with a single sweet potato top in my hand and I was yelling at my hubby. I asked him why on earth did he mow my sweet potatoes? He said he didn't know that it was sweet potato because it was planted in a separate corner. I told him this is the 3rd year that I planted sweet potatoes and still he can't recognize the leaves. I showed him infront of his face the sweet potato top that I was holding in my hand. I told him to memorize how the leaves look like so he will not mow it again accidentally next time. I also told him he will not get to eat my sweet potato tops when I cook sinigang because he already got his share by mowing it. Am I bad? I'm just so mad because of what happened with my sweet potatoes. I can't buy sweet potato tops here because they don't sell it in the oriental store that's why I have to plant it. I just hope that my sweet potatoes will recover soon from the devastation it received from hubby's mowing.
