Joys in Life

Here are some tips on how to keep your foods fresh and maintain it’s original flavor using the freezer:

—Keep freezer temperature at zero degrees Fahrenheit or lower (use the freezer thermostat to check it.) Such temperature will help maintain the best color, flavor, and texture of your food.

—Label each package with the date and content for easier identification even months later.

—Keep additional packages separately from solid ones until they become solid, too. This allows cold air to circulate around the packages.

We spent one week-end in this area and we enjoyed the sea’s beauty.  I did not enjoy swimming but i enjoyed taking some sky photos such as the sunset that Saturday sunset:

– chocolate fudge –

one of the dessert during the potluck last Saturday lunch.  There were several
yummy sweets shots but i love this one best.

DIMPLE & BDAY BALLOONS is my other entry.

How’s the weather at your end?  Is it one that you like best or is it one that you really don’t like.  I love outcasted skies or weather that’s cool.  What i don’t like most is when my morning starts with the heat of the sun so hot at 8 am or even before 8 am strikes. During times like this, i wish am in a country where there are 4 seasons.

Am a person who does not like sweating except when am in a gym or when am exercising, but when am off to the office, i feel uncomfortable when am already sweating before i reached the office because of the too much heat from the sun.  Believe me, am already using umbrella at 7:45 in the morning.  I don’t use it to cover my head but i used it to cover my back.  The heat does not yet penetrate my head as early as 7:45 but it’s my back. They said, early mornin sun is healthy.  Hmm not for me when am off to the office.

The weather is really crazy these days.  The heat of the sun is up before 8 am and dies out just before 5 pm.  So am often out with the umbrella.  Thanks to the person who invented it or else am always bathing in my own persperation. hahaha.  It’s so hot that even men nowadays, they too have their own umbrellas (just the folding ones though).  At times, morning so hot and at 3 pm, before the heat of the sun dies out, it will rain cats and dogs.  So thanks to the existence of the umbrella that protects us from the heat of the sun and  from the rain so that this crazy weather makes will prevent us from getting sick.

Guess what?  I just knew it all now. I think not all as in the ins and the outs but at least the basic i have understood it well now.  Thank to Aeirin for teaching me or explaning to me the mechanics. It was not easy to explain to someone like me who is so poor in stuff like that.  But really at least now i know the basics on how to drop and how to advertise.  And my first slot purchase was done earlier and it costed me more than a hundred EC credits.   And i was so surprise to see that there are blogs that is worth more than 2000 EC credits.  My gosh, that’s is too much.  If that’s real i won’t buy a bag that cost that much. lol!  Anyway, the reason why i didn’t know much about EC it was because i just opened an account to receive my first winning in an online contest.  I think i won 300 or 350 EC credits that time.  And then later i think i won some credits from Mitch too and last night i won some 200 EC credits from the PMC for the wacky photo entries.  Thanks so much guys.

Now since am done checking on my EC account let me now check on this airbrush and see what they got to offer.  Am sure others who loves shopping online will check on that too. And after that let me take some sleep so that am alive and awake tonight.
