I made it to the top! - Space Needle Tour in Seattle

Space Needle in Seattle is one of the biggest landmarks in the city. It is considered as the prime spot of sightseeing. Going to the top takes 43 seconds through an elevator to the observation deck. The deck is as high as 520 feet from which you can see the Elliot Bay, Downtown Seattle, Mount Rainier and the Cascades, as well as the Islands in the sound and the Olympics beyond.Telescopes are as well available for zooming in sights that are far to see. The deck is a 360 degrees view so you get all the chance to view the North, South, West and East wings. Food is abundant up there as they have restaurants and food shops on the deck, and the souvenir shops are located at the ground floor before you take your exit from the top.

I made it to the top! :)

Are you getting ready to travel this summer?

I travel a lot and I am probably one of those witnesses in which today, many airlines do not provide blankets and pillows inside the plane anymore. Domestic flights as well as international flights which are even longer trips mostly don't offer blankets and pillows, not unless perhaps it is urgently requested.
When I saw about the Cabin Cuddler, I thought of it as worth posting and since I travel a lot, I am thinking of considering this in buying it...why not? I am thinking I can use it when I will travel back home to the Philippines. Just imagine yourself without something else to cover your body for 14 long hours on that plane? That's horrible!
For just an affordable price, Cabin Cuddler is a 6-in-1 travel blanket and pillow made from hypo allergenic material and has an inflatable pillow that can be easily blown up as a balloon. It also has a foot pocket and shoulder wrap that keeps the body warm, just perfect for airplane or car trips or just for home use. Good thing to think about when having this is that you don't need to worry about sanitary issues becuse you own it ;).
Here's the good catch. If you buy two or more items, you can avail of the free shipping service if you either live in the US, Hawaii and Alaska. Grab one now!

Our Short Trip To Camden, New Jersey

The Bridge Connecting Philly to Camden

June 9, 2008 -

This was actually an unexpected trip when we were in Philadelphia. Since hubby was free the entire afternoon, we jut realized we were close to New Jersey (Camden) which was 20 minutes away from Philadelphia.

The Camden Waterfront, overlooking the Philadelphia on the other side.

We went to Camden Waterfront where the Adventure Aquarium was. There were some shows worth watching we saw at IMAX theater there so we went. We didn't have much time to go around the aquarium. We were amused with the sleeping hippos, so that was the only poses we got ;).

There you go, in a matter of a short trip to the next neighborhood state, it was worth it ;).

It's hot outside, your car should be cold.

I know how it feels to be driving with no AC in the car. Well, our old car (now gone), used to. When the AC is turned on, the car overheats. I don't know why but that car really needed an overhaul :). Don't wait for that to happen. AC is very vital during summer days, right? If your car needs Air conditioning compressor, there is a complete one stop shop for all your AC needs...1aiconditioning.com. Feel free to visit them and avail of their free shipping service.

Museum of Glass, Tacoma, WA

Location:

The Museum of Glass is located in downtown Tacoma at 1801 Dock Street, Tacoma, WA 98402. If you have your own car and have your own GPS system, it's much easier to go there.

If you love glass art, you might want to visit the Hot Shop and witness the art of live glassmaking. Take note that there are specific Hot Shop hours available.

For us, we missed the show since we arrived at the museum past the time it was held.

The Hot Shop Amphitheater - is made of 90-ft.tall stainless steel cone, 100ft. in diameter at its base and narrows to a 15 ft. opening.

Underground Tour, Seatte

The tour starts with the introduction about the early history of Seattle as related by a well-versed historian tour host. The story is injected with some humor so you don't get bored :).

This tour has actually become one of the most famous talked-about attractions in Seattle.

I am not good in pretty remembering historic details, but to share you the basic idea about the tour, it's a place where you go under the ground (used to be an old city) below the current city of Seattle.

The Old City of Seattle Photo

The Skylight as seen from underground. Over that is the modern day street along the city of Seattle.

Of course, after the tour, you'll be taken to the exit passing by a gift shop, with a mini-museum that displays old artifacts used in the old days while the old city was still standing.

An old gown used to be worn by upper class women

What a fancy toilet bowl during those days :)

Caring Is Sharing

For a woman particularly in the prime of her life, it must be tough to think about the idea of the possibility of facing a serious illness in the future, or even the worst, - an idea that is not readily comes into mind to talk about. The fact that today, we are facing a difficult economy and we are on the road where tough and difficult problems meet us along the way, we tend to avoid everything that is worth planning for the future.
Take for example the people's health; - you, me, your family and loved ones, friends. We seem to hate talking about it, much more worst if it involves a life-threatening illness that strikes us. As a result, most of us would tend to avoid and forget about it, and never plan thinking about our health's future.
Let's face it, we are living in the modern age, where medical researches and technologies are getting more advanced.
Maybe it's time to know more about this revolutionary stem cell research and technology by C'elle. Perhaps, this topic might be controversial to many, or maybe sensitive to some, but hey, - we're talking about the possible good results of protecting and treating ourselves from the effect of deadly illnesses. This stem cell research by C'elle provides women with a safe and easy method of collecting and preserving stem cells found in women's menstrual fluid. These cells are processed and stored at a very low temperature for potential cellular therapies in the future and may even be used for sports, medicine and treatments as well as anti-aging therapies.
What most women don't know is that they possess the key to possibly treating some life-threatening diseases that their parents, siblings or even their kids as well as themselves may have in the future such as heart disease, osteoporosis, stroke, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. That key is in their own body - in vital stem cells which can now be collected from women's menstrual blood.
Still having doubts and questions? The C'elle Client Testimonial video would at least give you a glimpse and can help guide you on what to do further. From there, you will also get the chance to know more about C'elle, the research, etc...
Don't you think it's time to enable ourselves to take control not only our own future health but as well as our family's health?

Exploring Niagara Falls

We started the day going to Niagara Falls State Park (New York), which was just 20 minutes from our hotel. There are lots of parking spaces in front of the Gateway to The Falls Building but may be a little bit challenging to find a parking spot during the weekends. From the parking, it's a walking distance (about 5 minutes walk) going to the actual falls area. It is captivating.


At the other side of the falls is the Canada side, and only 25 miles away crossing the border.

Sharing you some of the photos while having fun at the falls. Plus some good shots of the beautiful sceneries.

Amazing Domestic Seafood Recipe

I would always love eating! :)...at least even my husband would tell me, eating is my hobby. Well, I agree with him :).
When it comes to seafoods, I love shrimps the most! Any kind of cooking will do. And talking about a very simple domestic seafood dish that I would like to create and eat, I would love it a grilled shrimp with a garlic sauce on it! I can then pair it with rice mixed with vegetables. Now, that's what you call a hearty meal! lol!
As long as it is shrimp, I would love to cook it in any variations, be it cooked plainly fried, it always looks mouth-watering to me. But I think the best pair for any cooked shrimp particularly if it's grilled or fried is the garlic sauce. Most people love garlic, if not all. A grilled shrimp with garlic sauce can actually be very ideal for a picnic party...I was a witness to that by the way, and I was one of those who feasted on those garlic grilled shrimps :).
I am always excited to witness the 5th Annual Great American Seafood Cook off in New Orleans on August 2 and 3. I am far from the event, so I am just wishing they can do it live on TV. I am sure everybody will never go starving watching the 14 chefs compete on stage with their action packed seafood specialties and the exciting must see event for guest chefs' cooking demonstrations. This event creates positiveness of domestic seafood sustainability. Well, who do you think will be the next King of American Seafood??...will it be from Maryland? :).

Niagara Falls At Night

My trip to see Niagara Falls was memorable, the fact that I went with our church group and hubby of course!. There are so much more to be shared, but meantime, let me tell you that one of the highlights was watching the illumination of the falls at night.

We were in the observation deck which is on the US side (New York), and it was chilly up there. But bearing the cold windy atmosphere was worth it. The following night, we stationed ourselves at the Horeshoe Falls and waited for the fireworks. Although the wait was longer than the fireworks as expected, it was fun!

VIP City Tours (New Orleans) - LOUISIANA

Our tour started at 1pm that lasted for 2 hours. It started with the tour guide's introduction of the city of New Orleans...the birthplace of Jazz music! We went around the city's famous buildings and historical places. Not much photos to share in here since we're on mobile and had no chance to stop and go down to take photos. (If stops were allowed, then the tour might last 4-5 hours I guess, LOL!)

Then we proceeded to the devastated Lower Ninth Ward by hurricane katrina. I got a few photos plus a video clip while touring around. It was only at that time I had known that New Orleans is geographically in the lowlands, surrounded by marshlands and a bayou!...the main reason why the flood went as high as 8 feet.

The only stop that we did was at the St. louis cemetery #3, or widely known as "Cities of the Dead." There is a long story behind that and telling all about here would be a long chapter to be written, hehehe...anyway, if you're interested about the story, just google it, and read from there :)

Anyway, it was chilly that day! It just freezes my feet walking. So I just feel lazy walking and not much of going around by foot.

Exploring Boracay's Nature

Boracay Beach has been one of the most famously visited beach located in the western part of the Visayas, Philippines. Tourists swarm in during the peak season including foreigners.
For me this was my second visit after 10 years! A lot of big difference! There are many hotels in the island and we were able to get a good one at Pearl of the Pacific. We got a good room as well!

There are actually nice places to visit around the island if you're a nature seeker. We tried the butterfly garden, aside from the island hopping. Not much of them are there since they were still being hatched. There were also a group of bats that was there and hubby was able to get hold of him. Sorry, I wasn't convinced to hold the bat...I was freakingly scared! lol!...

Butterfly Garden:

Island Hopping:
It was very wavy so we only visited few spots. The crystal cove island was a bit far and there were only two of us in the boat plus 2 sailors. It was wavy and I just told them to return the boat back to the island. I don't wanna be risking our lives on that boat. Besides, it was already turning dark it was about to rain that time.Some shots:

St. Bartholomew Parish Church - Nagcarlan, Laguna

This church is one of the oldest existing church worth visiting in Nagcarlan, one of the towns on the southeastern part of Laguna. Laguna is just 30 kms south of Manila. The church has been built with lighter materials wayback the 15th century, and has been renovated in 1752 after it caught fire. Reconstruction was done in 1845. One thing making this church visited by many is the famous big old bell up the belfry. Local movie shoots are being held up the belfry as well, and I was just too curious to see that bell being famous because of the local TV series "kampanerang kuba" shooting scenes up there that became popular in the Philippines.
Climbing up the stairs going up the belfry might be challenging to some particularly the oldies :). Well, I was huffing and buffing when I finally got the chance to reach and see the bell. It's all worth it, so I deserve to ge a hug of the bell lol!

Underground Cemetery-Nagcarlan, Laguna, Philippines

Together with my hubby and friends from Texas


With Josie, my friend.

My sister in law is from Nagcarlan. So, when she got married to my brother last year, it so happened that the place is just 10 minutes away from where we were staying. We met our friends there, so we visited the place. No cameras are allowed inside too, so obviously no photos. The entrance is free but donations are encouraged to help maintain the place and the watcher I guess :).

The Underground Cemetery is considered to be a tourist attraction in Nagcarlan and is the only one of its kind in the Philippines. It used to be a burial ground for Spanish priests and other people which was built around 1845. Surrounding the chapel are 248 crypts while the underground has 36.
