I can’t believe it’s already the end of January 2009! I’ve been a bit busy so haven’t had the chance to post much. Well, in preparation for Feb, let me post some valentine’s related photos!  Here are some flowers my sister had arranged last week for an event at home. She went to the market and got the arrangement for a bargain!They’re lovely! The whole house smelled good too!

I also just learned that the white flower in the middle with reddish purple edges are called paper roses…

Have a good weekend everyone!

My friend unwrapped a Toy’s R Us gift and look at what the lucky guy got!

Here’s my doggie looking at me while i take the pics. Isn’t he cute?

Christmas day is just 3 days away! Let’s see, so far, I’ve attended 4 Christmas parties, wrapped a few gifts, given out some of the gifts, received lots (blessings!) and I’m almost completely recovered from my cold. Yipee! To top it off, lookie see what I got over the weekend!

Fresh Strawberries from Bagio!

Fresh cut flowers

How are your Christmas preparations coming along?

The 4th of July was a fun experience for me in Vegas. I walked around Fremont Street with all it’s shops and restaurants offering food for the celebration. The main highlight for me was watching a couple of lively lights shows projected on the barrel vault canopy which runs about 4 blocks long!

Since it was the 4th of July, they played a lot of “American” music which the lights/images are choreographed to. One of the songs played that night was “Bye Bye American Pie” by the Beatles. I thought that it would be fun (and perhaps more appropriate?! haha..) to use “American Boy” given to me by some friends for this trip for this video instead.  Enjoy!

It was 106 degrees outside and you wonder if what you are seeing is a mirage. Out of the flat, dry desert, you see a whole city bustling with activity where every hotel holds a surprise.

Paris Las Vegas Hotel and casino

No, I didn’t make a mistake. This is entry is still about Vegas but this is a picture of Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. They really have the miniature Eiffel Tower, Lourve and Arc de Triomph right there.

The earth is composed of water (2/3) and land and the article below simply shows us there’s still so much about the earth we don’t know - we don’t even need to travel deep. Enjoy the pictures and article below.  (Article and photos from telegraph.co.uk)

Looking like giant leaves floating in the sea thousands of Golden Rays are seen here gathering off the coast of Mexico.

The spectacular scene was captured as the magnificent creatures made one of their biannual mass migrations to more agreeable waters.

Gliding silently beneath the waves they turned vast areas of blue water to gold off the northern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Sandra Critelli, an amateur photographer, stumbled across the phenomenon while looking for whale sharks.
