New Rommate

Guest post written by my buddy Lavern Small My new roommate and I just had the biggest fight over whether we were going to get cable or satellite TV in our new apartment. I know it sounds like a stupid thing to fight over, but I was definitely not going back to cable because I had a terrible experience with my last provider. She on the other had, had an awful experience with her last satellite TV provider. I offered to look at all the packages and see who could offer us the best price. It was really obvious after looking at all of our options that the Direct TV packages were the most affordable and offered us the best options. I couldn’t believe that she was being so stubborn and still wouldn’t agree to satellite TV. If we would’ve found a cheaper cable deal I would have had to agree. I’m really not that upset about the whole TV argument. I’m really more upset about the fact that she is so stubborn. Looks like it’s going to be a long year! Hopefully we’ll get to know each other better and things will go smoother than they did with this situation.

My New Ride!

My weekend was busy but EXCITING!!! My Husband bought me a new car as my 6th Year Wedding Anniversary Gift! All I can say is WOWOWOWWW!!!! I was shocked! I love my new 2011 Mazda CX 7 crossover/suv!!! I just want to share my happiness with you guys. Hope your weekend was also special and exciting. Have a nice and safe week everyone! :-)

My New Hobby " Photography"

What is the meaning of Photography? From Wikipedia- Photography is the art, science and practice of creating durable images.... To me, photography is a passion and skill. Not everyone can be a good photographer!

My husband and I decided to take a photography class for 6 sessions, 3 hrs every monday, a total of 18 hrs for the whole class. Not bad! Tomorrow will be our 3rd meeting. We learned a lot already. There are so many things to learn in photography. Sometimes, my brain can't handle it! haha. So confusing but very interesting, I tell you, it's very important to know everything in order to get a good or even perfect picture!

The reason why I wanted to take this class because, I want to capture every moments with my kids, kids grow so fast and I don't want to miss a thing. But also, I want to have a great pictures because to me, it's a treasure! I want to be able to look back and say, wow, this picture was awesome! It would be nice to show nice pictures to my grandchildren in the future.

Early this year, my husband bought me a Sony Alpha DSLR..an awesome camera. I've been using this camera just in the Auto settings, and it gives a really really nice picture. But I wanted to learn how to use it in the Manual Setting. Manual is hard! I'm talking - Shutter Speed, ISO, Aperture- and you have to manually adjust these in order to get a perfect picture. But if you get it right... you can say " wow"!

I have no regrets in buying a DSLR camera and taking a photography class. I will share some of the pictures I've taken since we took the class! Enjoy and hope it will inspire you.

Here we go.....

Eating Again

Guest post written by my buddy Bernado Graham. I am so happy that my daughters are eating again. I do not know if it is the hot summer sun, the many hours spent at the pool or the absence of the sugary snacks from school. Whatever is causing this increase in the appetite, I am happy. My kids are not the kind that will eat anything that is placed in front of them. They never have and probably never will. Since I have them all to myself for almost three months, I can get them back to eating the way I want them to. They have been showing a lot of commercials for healthy foods. I always go online so I can get more info on direct tv and about these products shown on satellite television. They are so hungry after playing that they are now eating whatever I pack for snacks. They have no choice and they do not argue. This summer they have been eating plenty of cucumbers, melons, whole wheat crackers and cheese. I also provide them with bottled water and they do not ask about juice or soda.

The BET Awards Is A Family Affair

Thanks for the post from Hal Potter . I love to watch award shows, and one of my favorites is the BET Awards. I am a huge fan of hip hop, and the award show allows me to relive the year in hip hop. One of my favorite awards is the Hip Hop Achievement Award that is presented to some great pioneers of the genre. They always go on stage and perform, which is always exciting. The show is always funny, too. I love to see all my favorites come together, laughing and having such a great time. The fashion is another aspect of the award show that I love. All of the women wear some hottest style you have ever seen! The men don't look too bad, either. I always watch the BET awards on my http://www.expertsatellite.com/. Maybe it is just me, but it seem to get better quality with regular television. My kids make it a special event and come over to my house to watch it with me, too. They love the live performances most of all.

We want to move out!!!

We've been wanting to sell our house for quite sometime now. It was a struggle trying to sell it. Maybe it's because of the poor economy but I think everything is back to normal now. What a relief! A friend told me that some home buyer company might be able to help us. And she was absolutely right, all we need to do is fill up their form, provide our zip code.. and from there , everything just fall into places! Amazing! I almost can't believe it. If you are planning to sell your house, there are a lot of home buyer companies that can definitely help you.
