They are offering high speed connection for only $14.99/ month. There's no long term contract and it comes with a 30 day free trial. Added bonus is the $25 Shell gift cards that comes with an order online. I got to tell my friend today about this!

Flea Market

Yes, today my friends and I are going to meet at the flea market. I don't know what I'm going to buy though. I haven't planned anything to purchase there. I guess when I get there, I'll know by looking at the array of vegetables and fruits. I love going to that place because the prices are lesser compared to the usual stores. And they sell the produce that I can't find in the stores. Sometimes, I see or meet some friends, too. Fun! :) See you later friends!

Zenni on Fox

I have just blogged about Zenni days ago and now Zenni is on Fox! I'm talking about ZenniOptical.com. It's true that they sell stylish quality prescription glasses at only $8. Talking about huge savings! Who can beat that? My friend and her hubby bought from this company and they are satisfied with their purchase. Check out Zenni on Fox today if you want to know more.

The drive home...

....was scary! Two hours ago, I left the office hesitantly because of the very hard downpour of rain and strong winds. I already knew it will be difficult to drive but I had to. I always take I-95 going to work and back and tonight was no exception. I got wet walking from the office to the garage. While driving, I could hardly see the road and the cars in front and behind me. I had to slow down, driving at 50mph from the usual 70mph. A few times my car skidded a little bit. I saw 4 different cars that stopped at the side of the road with their emergency lights blinking. They must be having car problems. It made me afraid of my own car. What if it can't take the hard weather and will breakdown just like those other cars? There were little floods especially near the side of the road. There were also flashes of lighting and thunder along with the rain. It made me feel even more scared. What if I become the lucky car to be hit by the lighting? Anyhow, I'm so relieved now. I am home safe and without any bad incident encountered. God is good!

Student Travel

I never had the chance to travel to different countries when I was in high school or college. It would have been a different experience, no doubt about that. My mom was so overly protective. Even with a tour in nearby towns, she wouldn't approve. If I become a mom, I wouldn't do that to my child. I would let my child experience travelling to different cities and countries at an early age if I can afford it.

Anyhow, I've seen a lot of student tours. There was one time in Universal Studios. The students were speaking in a different language. How can the school organized such a big party travel? I heard a co-worker of mine talking about her daughter participating her school's student travel Europe program. One particular company that provides educational tours for students around the world is Hemisphere Travel. They provide international and US tour packages with the guaranty of meeting or beating other offers with the same tour packages. They even have a tour for Broadway! Nice!

True Love

It's poem time once again. I will leave you to go to work today with this one.

True Love
by: John Glare

True love is a sacred flame
That burns eternally,
And none can dim its special glow
Or change its destiny.
True love speaks in tender tones
And hears with gentle ear,
True love gives with open heart
And true love conquers fear.
True love makes no harsh demands
It neither rules nor binds,
And true love holds with gentle hands
The hearts that it entwines.
Love Lives

Alcohol Boating Deaths

It might be lots of fun to go boating but like driving a car, if you are under the influence of alcohol, it's dangerous, too. We should not think differently of boats. There are already so many fatalities related to alcohol boating. The legal limit for blood alcohol is .08 for both car and boat driving. Both are also a class one demeanor.

If you are a Dog: A very loyal and sweet person. Your loyalty can never be doubted. You are quite honest and sincere when it comes to your attitude towards working. You are a very simple person, indeed.
Absolutely hassle free, humble and down-to-earth!! That explains the reason why your friends cling on to you! You have a good taste for clothes. If your wardrobe is not updated with what is trendy, you sure are depressed. Popular and easy-going. You have a little group of dignified friends, all of them being quality-personified.

If you are a Mouse: Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous gleam in your eyes is what makes you so cute and attractive to everyone. You are an extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder people seek for your company and look forward to include you for all get-together's. However, you are sensitive which is a drawback.
People need to select their words while talking to you. If someone tries to fiddle around and play with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath. God bless the person then!

If you are a Lion: Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace loving person. You best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required to fight. An outdoor person, you dislike sitting at one place for a long duration. Popular and easy-going. You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfully derive work from people. People love the way you always treat them. You love being loved, and when you receive your share of limelight from someone, you are all theirs!!!!

If you are a Cat: An extremely lovable, adorable person, sometimes shy, with a passion for quick wit. At times, you prefer quietness. You love exploring various things and going into depth of each thing. Under normal circumstances you're cool but when given a reason to, you are like a volcano waiting to erupt. You're a fashion bird. People look forward to you as an icon associated with fashion. Basically, you mingle along freely but don't like talking much to strangers. People feel very easy in your company. You observe care in choosing your friends.

If you are a Turtle: You are near to perfect and nice at heart. The examples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people.
You, too, love peace. You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one's back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. You are generous enough. Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys.

If you are a Dove: You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life. Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected. In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader of your group of friends and good at consoling people in their times of need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They can never be in your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical and organized in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass you. Beware, it is easy for you to fall in love....

If you are a Panther: You are mysterious. You are someone who can handle pressure with ease, and can handle any atmosphere without going berserk. You can be mean at times, and love to gossip with your selected group. Very prim and proper. You like all situations and things to be in the way you desire, which, sometimes is not possible. As a result, you may lose out in some relationships. But otherwise, you love to help people out from difficult and tight spots when they really need you.

If you are a Monkey: Very impatient and hyper!!! You want things to be done as quick as possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you are the center of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would like to keep yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be dragged or featured in any sort of a controversy, you then go all panicky. Therefore, you take your precautions from the very beginning. When you foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you from falling in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you people are!!

So, what are you?

Miss me?

I don't miss myself but definitely my blog. Wheww! Four days of non-activity? It's already too much for me. I don't want to neglect this one. But to maintain two blogs is already becoming difficult for me. I would want to have something for my readers every other day but oh well, got to relax and enjoy sometimes.

Anyway, I'm sure some had a really nice 4th of July celebration. I did. I didn't get to see the real big fireworks but the fireworks from neighbors of a friend couple where I celebrated that day were enough entertainment for me. Here's the nicest picture I took of the fireworks.
