used les paul guitar at musicians friend

Before, I want to learn how to play the guitar. What I did was find a songbook and follow the pattern keys. At first, it was easy but the following keys are kinda hard. The ending, I stopped playing guitar and play the piano/keyboard. When I met my husband, I knew that he loves playing guitar. He did not study or trained, he studied the keys by himself. I bought him a simple guitar, not the electric guitar because it was kinda expensive. To save money, I will buy him a used les paul guitar at musicians friend. No matter where you are in the world, they will help you find musical instruments that fit you, your music and your style. The les paul guitar is one of the four vintage electric guitars used by professional musicians like Paul McCartney, Slash, Eric Clapton and many more. Because of the great popularity of these models, musicians are listed only if their use of these instruments was especially significant. 

Christmas 2013

Merry Christmas to all!  Well, our celebration had sad times and good times.  Sad times because my dad was sick and needed to be admitted again at the hospital (ICU).  Good because it was my daughter's birthday, December 25.  We had potluck lunch at my cousins place and my daughter blew the candle of her birthday cake.  My mother did not come to the party so that she can take care of my dad.  After the potluck party we went to my in-law's place for sleepover.

Just this December 21, it was my daughter's Christmas party at their school.  They started at 9am and finished pass 11pm.  They had a great time especially with their classmates and very excited to receive their gifts from the manito/manita.  For their food, they have a packed snacks (Chicken & Pizza) with C2 Ice Tea.  They had games and many more.  After the kids party, we went to the mall to have lunch at BonChon.

trick or treat 2013

Every November, we visit our love ones who are now in heaven.  Last October 31, we went to the cemetery earlier instead of November 1 to avoid traffic.  Usually, we go in the afternoon but changed it to morning breakfast because lately it usually rains in the afternoon.  After lunch, my daughter and I went to the mall to join trick or treat.  It is her 3rd time to join and she was was happy.  

McDonald's drops Heinz Ketchup

I really love eating at McDonald's and I always order my favorite, Cheeseburger Meal with large fries and regular coke.

McDonalds said it was dropping ketchup king Heinz as a supplier, citing management changes at Heinz that put the company closer to rival Burger King. 

McDonald’s said it was ending a relationship of over 40 years as it axed Heinz from its supplier list. 

"As a result of recent management changes at Heinz, we have decided to transition our business to other suppliers over time," it said. 

In February US investment star Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway together with Brazil's 3G Capital took over Heinz in a $28 billion deal. 

That move brought Heinz closer to Burger King, which is controlled by 3G. 

The change would not be a large blow to Heinz. McDonald’s said it only used Heinz ketchup in two US markets, Minneapolis and Pittsburgh, as well as some foreign markets. 

McDonald’s said in a statement that it would work with Heinz "to ensure a smooth and orderly transition of the McDonald’s restaurant business." 

The company said they "are confident that there will be no impact to our business, our customers and our great tasting food at McDonald's."

been very busy

It has been more that 2 months since my last blog.  Since my husband arrived from work months ago, I was very busy with my life.  There are very special occasions that was celebrated and for me it was very memorable.  I was having also problems with my laptop because it was needed to be reformated, I think it was a virus.  

When my husband arrived, we celebrated his birthday together with relatives.  We had grilled fish, pork and fresh green salads.  

 

A week after hubby's celebration, it was my daughter's opening in her school.  Then the following week was Father's Day.

 

Then comes my nephew's 3rd birthday, Leedon Vincent.  After that it was Mika's classmate's birthday, Lovy Chin.  Next, att Mika's school they celebrated Nutrition Month.

  

That month end, a pretty baby girl was added to our family baby Savannah.  Then my brother arrived for his vacation. 

 

My cousin-inlaw arrived from the States because her mom died, there got the chance to bond with the family.

 

My hubby's grandmother and his uncle from Australia arrived, in time for baby Savanna's dedication.  Another bonding moments with my inlaws.

  

Then it was Mika's Speechfest at school.

  

Then celebrated my mother's birthday together with the siblings and their family.

  

Then it was me from my hubby to go back to work, will not see  him for 8 months.  Sad to say that he's not here to celebrate Christmas, New Year, our anniversary, the kids and my birthday.  But it's okay because I know that God is with him to protect and give him more strength to carry all the work that he will encounter.  Good thing we can talk though  internet, thanks to the technology now.

Apple vs. Samsung

Our technology today is getting bigger and bigger.  Many ideas are popping to be introduced in the market.  Before, I am not into gadgets but know I am a fan.  I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I really love it that much but I also want an Iphone too but they say that the brand Samsung is much better than Apple.  In the latest article that I read, it says that the US overturns Apple ban in blow to Samsung. The White House stepped into a patent war between Apple and Samsung Saturday by overturning a decision that banned the sale of certain iPads and iPhones in the United States. US Trade Representative Michael Froman announced the rare move -- a blow to South Korean Samsung -- saying in a letter he had decided to "disapprove" the exclusion order by the US International Trade Commission. Surveys out late last month showed that Apple's iPhone has been squeezed by competition from Samsung and other Asian manufacturers. Apple's share of the global smartphone market fell to 13.1 percent in the April-June period, according to research firm IDC. A separate report by Strategy Analytics gave Apple 13.6 percent, but noted that it was the US firm's lowest share since 2010.

fireplace mantel shelves at agee woodworks

In our country we do not have fireplace in each home because we do not have winter or snow. It only rains or mostly it is very hot.  There are fireplaces only in cold places like farms that are very cold especially early morning. Fireplaces are used at the present time mostly for the relaxing ambiance they create. Historically they were used for the practical purposes of heating, cooking, and heating water for laundry and domestic uses. A fire is contained in a firebox or firepit; a chimney or other flue allows exhaust to escape. It is my dream to have our own home. When the time comes I will go to a place that is cold and build my own rest house and I will put a fireplace. To add more beauty in my home, fireplace mantel shelves at agee woodworks is perfect because you can put decorations and picture frames that will you will surely treasure. But did you know that there are bad effects when there are fireplaces especially in our health? With regard to adults, studies show that prolonged inhalation of wood smoke contributed to chronic bronchitis, chronic interstitial lung disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension and corpulmonale, and altered pulmonary immune defense mechanisms. While adverse effects on adults are notable, children appear to be at greatest risk.

Real-Life Barbie

Since I was a little girl, I really love playing barbie dolls. Before, I let my mom buy me different kinds of barbie dolls with different dresses. But as I grow older, I have more important interests but still I love barbie doll. Online I there are articles about human barbie dolls and as of this moment I am reading one article now. A young Russian model who reportedly spent a half-million dollars to turn herself into a real-life Barbie doll is indeed quite real and not the result of a computer-generated image. Even so, many of the stories written about her are not the real deal. Contrary to many headlines, there's no evidence that Lukyanovais actually trying to emulate the world's most popular doll; the word "Barbie" does not appear anywhere on Lukyanova's website nor in any of the available material attributed to her. Furthermore, a Google search of images of Lukyanova reveals plenty of airbrushed glamour shots, but conspicuously absent are photos of her with her supposed idol, Barbie. Surely if this aspiring model's claim to fame were centered on trying to achieve Barbie's supposedly idealized proportions, she would have taken many photos of her with the doll she's trying to look like.
