Longing for Summer

My wife asked me to go for a walk one day when we were visiting my Dad while the kids are busy playing with him. I am sure that most of us are longing for Summer and can't wait till Spring begins.
The ground was still covered with snow on these shots. Most of it are melted now.

Tea Party

Isn't it amazing how kids can think like little adults in some way. Whenever we visit my Dad, our daughter is pretty creative on things that both of them can do. Like she would build a house in my Dad's living room or organize a tea party. I am just glad that my Dad doesn't care if they make mess.
Have a blessed Sunday!

Mobile Content

Advertising your business nowadays is easier than before because you have a lot of choices to do it. You can do it though written articles on blogs, on television, and many other type of media. Some people can even promote their stuff through uploading their videos online, share it through forums, and stuff like that.

But if you want to promote a short feature for your film, you should consider about film licensing so you will have the full control to your stuff. You would be able to reach out for your target audience through the most innovative promotion in mobile content.

Speaking of film, I haven't gone to a movie house for a long time. I think the last time my wife and I went to see a movies is about 5 years ago. That's what happen when you have little angels running around your house already, they become your movie everyday. Taking pictures and recording videos of them becomes the parent's obsession.

Internet and Phone is On finally..

This photo was taken before that big icicle that is hanging in the gutter pulled down the gutter and the cable for our phone and Internet connection which caused us ten days of not having it.
It will cost us a thousand bucks to have the damages fixed because it is our insurance deductible. Oh boy! But I am glad to have finally get the internet back because I really need it for my school stuff. I just want to thank everyone for the visits and comments you've left in here and in my other blog.

Look Who's Flicking

If you are looking for a good result on marketing and promotional strategies, check out the Flipbooks from Proflix. It's a creative way of promoting your products and services like a TV ads at the palm of the target market through flipping of the fingers. Some of the popular designs made by Proflix are movies like Transformers, Kung Fu Panda, Saw V and a lot more.

I actually received this kind of promotional items when I enrolled in my college a couple of moths ago. They give out this kind of stuff to new students who are interested in enrolling their offered courses. I think it is a pretty good idea of advertising. I think it is most sale-able especially to yuppies and other customers who are pretty loyal to specific kind of brands. For companies who wants to thank their customers, it's a great choice in making them remember how grateful they are for their patronage.


Short video clips is a great tool that you can use to reach out for your prospective clients and customers. It's entertaining and comes in handy. You don't have to pay a huge amount of what you have to pay if you will advertise on television. Cost effective and effective, so watch out and look who's flicking!

Icicles on the Plants

When my wife took Champ outside to do his business, she ran back and got the camera. She took photos of the icicles from the plants outside my Dad's house. Aren't they pretty?

But no matter how pretty they look, I still wish that winter will be over soon.

Ford F150 Automotive Upgrades

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Automotive Concepts. All opinions are 100% mine.


After returning home from my tour in Korea, I was really happy to take my old truck out of storage and go for a drive. I purchased my F-150 used a few years ago and had every intention of dressing it up but due to a military deployment shortly after, I had to put her away and delay my project until a later date.


A friend of mine went through a couple different
chrome grilles before he found the look he was trying to achieve for his truck. His truck was a real beauty and I was amazed by the significant impact a grill would have on the appearance of a truck. I plan to change the grill on my truck, as well as, add chrome mirrors and a set of nerf bars to finish the look. I know my wife and kids would especially like having the nerf bars for function.

If you have a F-150 that you are thinking of turning into a dream machine, I recommend you click on one of the helpful links above and see the huge assortment of dress-up items available. You'll be amazed with the number of items, big and small, that you can add to your truck and give it that individual appeal that deserves a second look.

Getting Longer and Bigger

After I shoveled the snow at our drive way this morning, I decided to removed some of the icicles that are getting so long because I am worried that it will damage the gutter of our house. These photos were taken the day after the first snow storm and they got bigger and longer.
I hope that this will end soon. I feel bad for those who got hit hard and lost their electric. Imagine how agonizing is that especially if you have little kids.
How is the weather at your side of the world?

Display Showcases

During my family's pre-valentine out celebration, my wife and took the kids at the toy store before finally going home. I like how they set up the toys into their display showcases. There is one part there where the kids can test the toys that are for sale, it's pretty cool.

It's nice that they have display showcases that are kids-friendly and customer-friendly. For store owners, choosing the display showcases is a vital factor that they have to consider when purchasing the showcase displays that they have to use for their merchandise.

Doctor's Appointment

My wife and I had our doctor's appointment yesterday morning. She consulted our family physician with her constant migrain and I consulted him with my heart condition since I had that abnormalities again which I suffered back when I was in Korea. The doctors in Korea said that it wasn't a heart attack, my sister who is a nurse said that it might be my gall bladder. Since my MRI was normal, the doctor did not find anything wrong. However when our physician ran an EKG on me, it is my heart that has a problem.

After our check up, we dropped by at the pharmacy to buy Rose's prescription and I met an old friend that I haven't seen for almost 20 years. While waiting for the meds, my wife called me at the card section and showed me this birthday card. The message was awesome so she let me read it and said "Okay, I don't have to buy it anymore since you already see/read it". We were both laughing and I said "Okay, take a picture of me so I won't forget that you got me a card" lol.
Then on the way home, we dropped by at Dominos Pizza and bought some take out to bring to Dad and kids. Rose won't pass this red and blue color without snapping some photos lol.

It's nice that some of the business establishments put sanitizer but look at the dust on the lamp. Opps.
Hope you guys will have a wonderful Valentine's celebration.
