Serenata chocolate in a box

I love chocolates! I also love giving them in as much as I would like to receive them because I know most people loves chocolates too. It’s a sweet treat. I’ve read about them and it’s not all bad. It’s sweet, they taste good but they are also good for the body. Of course, anything that is too much is not good but if taken in moderation, especially dark chocolates, they are a good source of antioxidants.

If you are from United Kingdom (just in case), you can purchase Serenata chocolate in a box (clickable). They look divine, I’m actually craving for chocolate now as I see their website. Serenatachocolates.com have a variety of chocolates to choose from and you won’t worry about the delivery because they do it for you. It’s very convenient. Chocolates, just like flowers are a great gift to just say thank you, sorry or  for birthdays and for other occasions.

Here’s a great trivia about chocolates that I read just a little while ago, the Greek term of chocolate “theobroma” means “food of the gods”.

Grandma's Birthday

Earlier this month, we celebrated my grandmother’s birthday during my vacation at San Francisco, CA. I think she was surprised that we cooked and decorated my brother’s home for her birthday. It was a very late celebration by the way but she was out of the country at the time of her exact birthday.  It was good that it has become a part of my vacation too to celebrate such a special day. There was no fancy birthday invitations and there isn’t a lot of people, it is basically just me and my daughter, my brother’s family and few friends. Honestly, we don’t know how old she is too except that she is in her 80’s. I miss my grandmother and other family members in the mainland but now I am back in Hawaii, miles away from them.

We had banana lumpia, pancit palabok, fruit salad, siopao and other Filipino food. For my non-Filipino readers, these might all be foreign sounding to you. We also bought some mango cake at the nearby bakeshop. I love mango cakes. I don’t normally see them often. Since I left the Philippines, I hardly eat any mango too. They are so expensive here. Anyway, back to my grandmother’s birthday, we were thinking of giving her something but we cancelled because she is going back to the Philippines soon and she might not be able to take all her stuff. I also gave her some cash that she can use during the earlier part of my vacation. She has probably used it though to buy us some food (again) while we were there. She has always had a kind heart especially to her family and does not want to take gifts but always want to give.

Here are some pictures I took before her small party.

Disneyland Tickets

The whole family loves to visit the theme parks, and they always leave a lasting and lifetime memory for a child visiting the park for the first time.  There's one name that is synonymous with family fun, and that is Disney. Disneyland tickets can be bought separately, or combined with other attractions in the Southern California area, including Universal Studios. It can take several days to see everything at Disneyland, so I suggest buying a two or three day ticket to make sure you maximize your trip.

Many of your thoughts were probably about the end of the school year which was rapidly approaching at the end of May or beginning of June. You might have begun planning what you were going to do over the summer break and how much fun you were going to have while out of school. Many of us went on family vacations to visit family members or to take long drives to other states to sightsee or to visit an attraction like a national park or an amusement park.  Disney theme parks are one of the top destinations every year for families. They include Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida. Both are always rated in the top ten amusement parks in the world and have millions of visitors each year.

Growing up on a farm

Thanks for the article from Jermaine Haynes

Growing up on a farm meant I knew I wanted to come back here someday when I got older. I really missed having so much wide open space when I was living in the city so it’s been really nice for me to have so much room to roam and I know the dogs really appreciate it, too, ever since I retired and bought this place. Being on the farm is just calming to me – my kids don’t really get it but I went to SatelliteStarInternet.com and got an internet connection so I could email them so they wouldn’t freak out about my well being – they think that since I’m older I should want to move closer to them or to Florida or something like that but I really don’t want any of that! I love my kids but I miss my wife and being on the farm reminds me of her and the dreams we had of retiring someplace like this together one day, you know? It’s a nice memory.

Baby Hats

If you are expecting or have a little baby, you probably enjoy dressing your little bundle of joy. I used to buy cute baby hats, baby booties and outfits. I remember receiving a lot of cute baby gifts during my baby shower. Now, my daughter is already a preschooler based on her age, I still like to dress her up at times. But now, she would pick up what she would like to wear and I let her. I think she enjoys dressing up too. She has her favorites. I still don’t know how it will be like when she gets older. She would probably decide all by her own. I think I will give her the freedom to choose when we go shopping online or at the stores.

I was just looking at the blog under babyhat.com. There are so much cute faces to see.  Where do you shop for baby stuff? Do you have a favorite website for babies? One of my family members is expecting her baby. I will be an auntie again soon. Having a baby is always an exciting time.

Accounts Department Online

If you're running your own company, or if you work for a company, there is one thing in common, someone has to do the Accounting functions.  Accounting is one of those classes that everyone dreads in college, and for good reason.  Not many of us can make any sense out of debits and credits, and all those accounts could make you stressed and you might even make a mistake and it could lead to an audit by the IRS.  It's becoming more popular than ever now to outsource many functions in business, including Human Resources, Payroll, IT, and Accounting.  By outsourcing the Accounting department, you free up your time to focus on sales and building your company.  You can outsource all the common functions of an Accounting department, including Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, Financial Reports, etc.

There's no need to hire Accounting clerks to do the tedious work, let someone else do it for you.  If you live in England, you can access Accounts Department Online and outsource those Finance functions that require someone with experience and knowledge to complete competently.  They can even answer Accounting-related telephone calls and do the company payroll.  Accounting is a difficult field that I would definitely outsource if I were running a company.

Making plans

Written by my friend Constance Hayden

I do not know how often I looked up satellite provider information on this website, www.expertsatellite.com. It seemed like before my husband and I committed to a provider, all we did was talk about the possibilities. I think it is fun to do that sometimes. We like to just throw out every potential option or opportunity, even if it is extreme, and imagine what our lives will be like. It is a bit far fetched sometimes, but we both like to just have this fictional story time about things. I think the talks about vacations and where to go is a bit more fun to do than TV channels, but we definitely still got pretty into the possibilities for our channels. The firs thing he went to was about the number of sports games he could watch. I told him I might sneak in the other room when he put on games to watch something else. The thing we could both agree on was watching movies together and the National Geographic channel. I think the movies make sense since we enjoy stories and imagining the potential of plans!
