We spend our weekend in Saint Augustine, FL to my husband cousin, i really do love visit them because were always welcome anytime we want to. Its our first time to meet his niece and nephew's baby Jay's and Brady, i am so happy to see the babies, they are adorable, Jay's always keep smilin' his so cute I know all babies cute. Brady, you can't enjoy holding him a lot because his not playing yet he was just a month old and so small. First time i hold him i was so scared, im afraid i might broke something on his body somewhere. It was hard, but anyway thier lucky and blessful to be with thier parents. I know how does it feel to have kid even though i dont have one yet. I wish i have one though. :-( well, we dont stop trying to have one but i guess it will come in the right time by GOD's grace.
Also last friday night we had a party and my husband and I were pretty much enjoyed each moment that night. I end up drunk with margarrita 'coz thats the only one that I like in a bunch of choices and the rest was drinkin' beer, scotch and of course before get drunk we had a nice dinner! montery chicken, its a breast chicken with bacon on top and shredded chess with little bit of barbecue souce on it. Our side is garlic green beans and baked potatoes. Really taste good! its simple dinner but it was good...YUMMY!:-P...So saturday morning we went to shopping and yesterday were much spend our time watching movies...What a nice weekend love it! :-) FUNTASTIC!

Lovely Lady

noreply@blogger.com (ruby) — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 02:47:00 +0000

You are lovely and caring. You help others and spread out a lot of sympathy. Your life aim maybe is to serve the people. But your weakness is that you forget about yourself, your own needs. All your time is hold back for your friends and family. You are always there for people in trouble. Ready for any emergency. You make a lot of sacrifices just to be a good human. But every woman has her needs, her longings and a destiny. Don't loose yourself in work or curing other people's souls. You will have your own problems in your life. Another problem is that you don't say your opinion when it's right and important to say it. People trample onto your soul if you are always so kind and lovely and helpful. They will play on you. Though you should try to relax more and enjoy your life, you should not loose the gift that was given to you to help others . Not everyone is created this way... You are uniqe and rare! How about you? what type of a woman are you? ^___^

Miss It...

noreply@blogger.com (ruby) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 02:34:00 +0000

Meeting Sis Hannah and her family

noreply@blogger.com (ruby) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 05:01:00 +0000

Last week my husband George took a load going to Semi Valley, California, he asked me if i wanted to go with him and i said "yes, im going with you." We delevered last week and after his delivery he got a phone call from his boss that there's some short run going to Bakersfield north east of L.A and Roseville east part of Sacramento, CA. The last one he picked up in Sebastopol that was straight north of San Francisco and delivered to Eugene, Oregon. Were pretty busy last week though. So were hoping next week were going back to east coast.
Since were here in Euegene, there someone that i wanted to meet in person and that was Sis Hannah ( she's my sister in Frat back in college). I was eager to meet her personally so i send her an e-mail last week inform her that were coming this way. She replied and send her contact number. So I called yesterday and talking in the phone :-)! and she invited us to come over in their house, so we went this afternoon and finally we met :-)...asking how's our life here in US and everything, they prepared dinner and we have fun. They're so nice people also her hubby and his little george her little one same name with my hubs! LOL! Were glad to met them in person and were looking forward to visit them when were back this way again....

Feel Sad

noreply@blogger.com (ruby) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:09:00 +0000

Absolutely I have enough time to spend now to write what we've done and whats going on. My husband and I are pretty much busy yesterday, coz we took off early morning headed to Seffner, Florida to pick up his load that going to Spartanburg, South Carolina. He does to transport the motorhome around the US. Thats why I took the opportunity to see the different part of the country and I almost seen all the states. Since I dont have a job right now I'm enjoying our time together. So were headed in Georgia and we hit so much traffic on our way, i really hate traffic jam, specially in Atlanta, grrrrrr! you need to have patience to handle the freakin' traffic anywhere you go to this city. He finally done his delivery this morning and we need to turn back again to Atlanta and i thought were going to deal the traffic again but i was wrong and im glad coz its not that bad like it was yesterday. Were going back in this place to attend his Uncle funeral tomorrow at 11 a.m. He passed away last Sept. 3 and he was 77 years old, he diagnose for chemotherapy and he never survived. I feel so sorry for him and his family, his such a good man i met him once like 3 months ago and that time he was so strong and looks healthy that time, he brought us in a fastfood called ( chick-fil-A ) that time and after that i hooked up that fastfood, i really like it. Everytime I've seen that signed i always remember him. Sad to say that his gone. We really dont know when or where our life's gonna end. Like my father who passed away too last month. It was painful to losing someone who really closed to your heart. Until now I still can't emagine that i dont have a father anymore :(. But I need to accept the truth that his gone and never come back :((.

Well, I met the rest of the family that i never meet since i got here in the US coz we dont have a chance to visit them and finally now were here together. We stayed here in Ramada hotel at Conyers, Georgia coz thier house are packed up too for the other member of the family and all of his family that from Michigan are stayed in this hotel too. Were thankful that they give us discount instead of regular price that thier suppose to charge. I was blessed and lucky to have a family like this, they are great and very loving people. I know i really missed my family too back in the Philippines but because of them, they helped me out of the homesickness. After the funeral tomorrow we dont know yet but were hoping to have a nice load pop up anywhere closer in this place...

noreply@blogger.com (ruby) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:31:00 +0000

I always get hungry that easy. lol! thats why my diet is not working good for me. :)...
I awake this morning around noon and i felt not to get up, i felt so tired and wanted to sleep all day, but i need to. We have a lot of laundry! Well, i got up and do my daily chores, after that doing laundry, while im doing that we been to post office to mail the paperworks and of course i dont wanna go home not to stop by and doing shopping..hmmm! its my fave portion.lol! i think every woman loves the word SHOPPING am i right?

The Saturn IB Rocket

noreply@blogger.com (ruby) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 02:30:00 +0000

I took this picture when we stop at the welcome center in 1-65 here in Alabama. The rocket that you've seen in the photo is an old Saturn 1B launched vehicle rocket. Installed in 1979, the 224 foot tall Saturn 1B was a forerunner of the Saturn 5 launch vehicle for NASA missions. It boosted unmanned Apollo modules and a few orbital trips.

In the late 1990s, you could stop at this Alabama border Welcome Center, stand under the engines and imagine how the blast of takeoff would feel (like Alabama in August?). Renovations to the exhibit since then prevent strolling under the rocket.

Around the periphery of the Saturn 1B, there are several plaques and displays describing "The Saturn Legacy."

Nearby, a Vietnam War Memorial -- a chevron-shaped native rock monument -- is inscribed with Alabama war dead.

The Hurricane!

noreply@blogger.com (ruby) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 18:36:00 +0000

We have a long drive yesterday, from Indianapolis to here in Birmingham, Alabama. Were headed to Gulf Breeze, Florida. But after those long trip yesterday im kind of tired and wanted to have more rest. Aside from that, we stuck here in Birmingham because of the hurricane Gustav...were supposed to deliver this motorhome to Florida but were waiting for it until this hurricane's gone. I hope everyone who lived close to this gulf shore are safe and out of danger its hard when this kind of disaster come through. I've seen in the news that theres a lot of people evacuated and leave thier home to run away from this hurricane. I feel sorry to those people who lived in New Orleans, Louisiana. After 3 years of hurricane katrina here's hurricane gustav. There's one coming called hanna and become a hurricane again? I hope it wont last longer so that people have peace of mind and can get back home and start a normal living. May GOD bless us all!

Trust and have Faith

noreply@blogger.com (ruby) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 19:36:00 +0000

What a gratitude to talked to somebody that you will never see in person , but the trust and respect as a friend is the main thing to always open up and shared. Online friends are unique and chanllenging data for me. I'm very proud to have friends online that sometimes i can shared my problems specially when i was down and need somebody that i can talk to. Away from my family is not that easy to handle but the fate and my destiny, you can't say no coz there's no choice if the right time came to you? I struggled and finding myself for many years, I've been through a lot a trials that i thought theres no ending, but i still have faith that one day i can overcome. Many of us sometimes expected so much in the new life, but we never think the circumtances ahead after where in it. But dont lose any hope God is always with us, sometimes we forget him and he will find a way to remind you that he loves you. He never give us any kind of trials in life if theres no solution to solve it. We need to be strong and fight out of it. Always think that your not the only one who have a biggest problems in life, each person has a defferent defficulties to handle. May all of us can overcome and so have much joy and less trouble in life ahead. Have a great weekend!

MACKINAC BRIDGE IN MICHIGAN

noreply@blogger.com (ruby) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 17:01:00 +0000

The mackinac Bridge is the longest single-span suspension bridge in the world, with 7,400 feet of structure supported by graceful cables.

"Mighty Mac" is an engineering materpiece, designed to withstand masses of crushing ice and winds up to 120 mph. It is also a construction triump, build for $99,800.000 between 1954, on time and within budget. The 4.5 million vehicles, which safely cross the bridge each year, pay tribute to its dedicated builders, who overcame the harsh winter and winds of the straits.

Wow! this is great adventure that i have now, i've seen a lot of historic places and nice scenery here in the US. The best opportunity to visit one of the famous tourist spot in the state. I have a lots of story to my grand kids someday. LOL!

noreply@blogger.com (ruby) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:32:00 +0000

Early morning yesterday my mother in law got a phone call from her daughter who work as a registered nurse somewhere here in michigan about the drug BYETTA for the people who got a diabetes.

Thanks GOD for everything that you been done to me, you give me strength to fight all the trials that i had and you make me strong in all the problems that came into my life. Thank you for being there always.

Sometimes human being theres characteristics that even by thier self can't believed of what happened.

I know i had that kind of matter and I know LORD you forgive me for those moment that i felt i was down, that my life is miserable specially those times that my father who passed away not quite long. But you blessed me to be strong and facing all the reality that happened to me. I forgive those people who tried to put me down. I can't help it if thats thier views. Forgive me dear GOD for all my sins that i've been done, I can't promise not to do anything good but i do all that i can to be out of it. Keep my family out of danger and please give them a healthy and strong body, specially my MAMA, i know she needs comfort, i pray for you GOD to be with her. I pray my PAPA's soul that he has resting for life, and has his soul joined with your angels and forgiven him his sins when he was alive in this world. Please till him LORD that i really love him and forgive me for did not around. Its also hard for me coz until now i felt that he never leave us. I never forget him till the rest of my life.

Thank you dear GOD that you blessed me to have a wonderful husband, guide us wherever we go and whatever we do. Please keep us out of danger and give us strength, good health and bless us to be strong and more love in our marriage. Bless those people around us and forgive them thier sins. I pray also my second family here and to all my friends to have a peaceful life living and good health also. Thank you dear LORD for always.

Shame on you!

noreply@blogger.com (ruby) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:59:00 +0000

I believed that true friends are hard to find. I was disappointed with my one friend who still living in the philippines, I thought were good friends but she's not the type of person i thought it was. I really feel bad of what she did to me. Seems like she never think first before she said something rudity to her friends, or if she can hurt the feelings of her friends or what? She's so stupid and i admit i really mad to her, i really dont care about her now, im taking for granted those memories that we been through back then. i was pissed! shes really a bitch! i find out now her true colors. I know im a nice person but if you did something that beyond my limitations i dont have any doubts to forget you as my friend. I'd rather be alone than to have a friend who back fight when your not around. Shame on you! Thats why i figure out now why until now your still where you are cause maybe your fiancee find out your trully character as a person, and might be his keeping you in the (PHILS.) just to have someone that he can have fun with when his there. Its hurt right? but thats better for the person like you who's lier and freak!

Dont waste your time...

noreply@blogger.com (ruby) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 02:18:00 +0000

Life is to short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, and forget about the ones who dont and believe that everythings happens for a reason. If you get a chance; take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it..

Farewell Papa...

noreply@blogger.com (ruby) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 23:28:00 +0000

Last friday August 8, 2008 around 2 o'clock in the afternoon while were on the road with my husband and we recieved an overseas call, i was not feeling well that early morning seems like something wrong and i cant calmed my heartbeat. I picked up the phone and answered it..hello? and it was my oldest brother who's crying in the other line, I asked him what's the matter why his crying...and saddenly he said that we dont have father anymore, Papa, passed away yesterday afternoon ( August 8, 2008 Philippines ). I was speechless feels like somebody punching my ears that i cant hear anything, but my mind is working and trying to say that, its a lie and its not true of what i heard now. I'd turned off the phone and throw it in the dash of the motorhome and my husband looked towards me, but he saw my face with full of tears and the teardrops from my eyes down on my face. Its very painful and i dont know what to do , feels like im shocked that time. Its horrible...i cried and cried coz i can't take that i dont have father anymore. One thing thats really hurt for me coz i never see him for the last time before he send into his last place. I know how terrible it was, but the life living now is not that easy too, were not that rich that can easily to do anything or to book a flight that quick, i end up calling every night to my Mama and asked what they need, at least that way i can help the expenses and everything. I know, before my Papa is passed away we already talked in the phone and i know he understand us our situation here that its not that easy. Eventhough, we never there physically but we helped them in the other way. Im sure that im gonna miss my Papa, but i know his happy coz he never suffer anymore with his unhealing illness. I miss his kindness and his loved as a father..We love you Papa...
