Royal Wedding: The Royal Couple's Wedding Prayer..

noreply@blogger.com (Hannah) — Sun, 01 May 2011 09:25:00 +0000

It seems like the rest of the world have watched the royal wedding last April 29. Much of what happened that day was all broadcast in every form of media and was published in every magazines and newspaper.

I was one of the million people who tuned in to watch the phenomenal wedding from beginning to end. Though the wedding is not private, it's magical how it seems to look like very intimate. What I thought that's going to be an occasion with just full of glamor, extravagance, and fancies turned out to be different.

Amidst of everything, I love how Prince William and now Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton's love for each other shines. The sincerity was there and I can certainly say that it's really love that brought them the decision of marrying each other. I love how they deeply look into each other as if they know what does each of them wanted to say with no words needed to literally uttered.

The now Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton reflects the true beauty of a bride "PRICELESS" While Prince William is the best example for me of what a perfect groom is. By how Prince William looked at her bride, I can see how deeply and sincere he loves her.

We all have our favorite part of the wedding maybe mine are; the moment Prince William sees her bride the first thing he says was “You look beautiful” and their second kiss on the balcony of the Buckingham palace. But above all I fell deeply in love with this couple after hearing the prayer they personally wrote for their wedding and it says...

"God our Father, we thank you for our families; for the love that we share and for the joy of our marriage.In the busyness of each day keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and help us to be generous with our time and love and energy.Strengthened by our union, help us to serve and comfort those who suffer. We ask this in the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Amen. "

The prayer is just short yet the meaning says it all. Indeed I can tell that just like every one of us this couple surely has their own weakness but I admire their outlook in life and the role they choose to take. They're ROYALS with good hearts, I pray for our almighty God to bless them with everlasting respect, trust and love for one another. May their union helps a lot of people in every possible way.

Car First Aid Kit: Realizing How Important It Is!

noreply@blogger.com (Hannah) — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 15:59:00 +0000

Have you recently been to a car showrooms dreaming about having your very own new car? Well generally men likes to go to these showrooms and you would noticed that some of them are more after to a car model’s exterior designs, some are interested to its high technology features, but a family man would always be interested to know and check everything from the interior to exterior designs, to its latest features and even to what are the essential things that a car should go with.

These days, my friends who are mostly family men are surprised to find out that several new models of cars out in the market doesn’t have a Car First Aid Kit, not all of it are included in the deal by de-fault. I thought about it and realized that maybe car companies want to sell those kits separately so they could have extra sales out of it, or maybe they already disregard the importance of having these kits on every car.

Well only a few years ago I’m traveling with my friends when one of them got hurt, luckily it wasn't serious. I’ve always had a Car First Aid Kit on my car which able me to gave him some first aid ,but at that time it really made me question the quality of the kit I have and whether it would really do the job if a worst case scenario came?

After that incident it made me decide to quickly update my car first aid kit. I'm so glad I did it, now I can drive around with no worries knowing that I am armed with a car first aid kit and if worse came to worse I am prepared to give a friend, family member and myself some first aid needed even when traveling on roads.

The kit I invested in was the Survival First Aid Kit. It’s awesome!The kit is neat with sturdy little zip and some great heavy duty canvas outer, best of all once its opened it magically springs open into 3/4 full size fold away compartments, each of which have their own pockets. All supplies are neatly kept, having this kind of kit comes the ease that every once in awhile when I head off for a trip I can quickly check it out to make sure nothing is missing.

To sum everything up my point here is that most of men and women as well, maybe most of the people now are quite amazed to how fast the technology upgrades, and everyone prefer to get USB,MP3 players and other gadgets as freebies when buying a new car , well those are nice things but the question is do we really need it in our cars?

Surprisingly even the smicko car like the BMW’s and Audi’s do have a kit but it only has a few of what a basic kit should have when it would be better if it’s complete. I guess it's just a marketing priority to offer 'something' for free.

Anyway if you’re a family man, if you’re a woman with kids I’m sure you understand the importance of having a car first aid kit on your cars. But I suppose that anyone whether married or single, with kids or without kids, young or old as long as you value life and you understand what difference it can make when you’re emergency prepared then you ought to have a Car First Aid Kit . Life is precious invest on your safety and protection.

I am Back..I am better than ever!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Hannah) — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 13:50:00 +0000

It's been months since the last time I write, It was really hard to think of something else worth sharing when you're destructed, down and hurt.
I am going through a lot and changes are inevitable and so does this pain I guess....

Since heart's day is fast approaching today I want to talk about..

Dealing with broken Relationships

All of us are unique in our own way and that is what is so interesting about the world and the relationships we have. However, those differences can also lead to some tough times with those that we care about the most. There are times when the actions we take or even actions we fail to take put a huge wedge in a friendship, an intimate relationship, or they create tension with family.

Life is too short to give up on those relationships. If you are upset and hurting about what has happened it is time to speak from the heart and try to make things right. Now, you may be saying that yes you did have a falling out but it wasn’t do to what you did or said. Instead, it has to do with something by the other party. Regardless you can be the one that extends the olive branch.

Emotions can run very high when there is a conflict so it is best to give each other time to cool off. Try to keep things in perspective and don’t read more into the situation than what really happened. Think about your own reaction too. For example where you hurt but came across as being angry? Were you stressed out over something at work but blew your top on a great friend who is always there for you?

Once you have logic on your side you can make a plan of action. If you want to make a relationship better though you need a sincere apology. You can send a letter, make a phone call, or even send flowers. You don’t want to confront that person in front of their family or at work though. Make it a one on one opportunity.

If you aren’t sure if the other party will respond well to your extension of friendship then a letter may be best. You can give them your contact information and tell them that you would love to hear from them if they want to talk. Hopefully they will but if not you have taken the high road.

When something happens and you don’t think you were at fault stick to the positive. Start out by saying that you value the relationship and that it is bothering you that there is a problem. Be honest about what you see is the problem and what you feel would be the way to resolve it. Then be willing to really listen to what the other party has to say too. You will be surprised at how much both of you learn in the process.

Life can be full of regrets but don’t let the problems that have occurred in relationships stop you from enjoying things. Each day is a new beginning and you won’t know how someone is going to react to you until you contact them. There is a very good chance they would love the relationship to work out too. Now is the time to think about what you would like to stay and get those wheels in motion. Take control over how your relationships will be and you will truly be a happier person.

Free article directory - a Site to Market your Business

noreply@blogger.com (Hannah) — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 05:26:00 +0000

With a free article directory, you get to tell your target market about what you offer. You get to share with them information that is going to encourage them to buy your product or your services. This is a terrific method of marketing that doesn’t cost you anything but time. When you create your articles, you will submit them and have a resource box at the bottom.

When a reader enjoys the information you offer them, they are going to be inclined to find out more about you and your business. They will read that resource box to find out what your business is all about. It is a great idea to have a link or two in that resource box to take them to a web page relating to what they just finished reading.

You need to write quality information though when you use free article directories to market your business. You need a powerful introduction, strong body, and a powerful conclusion to wrap it all up neatly. If you lose the reader’s interest along the way they won’t ever get to that resource box.

Don’t write your articles like sales letters either. The reader should feel very relaxed and not pressured to buy when they are reading. You should have the right lingo for your target market in those articles too. By doing so you will be able to share information that helps them to learn and motivates them to buy from you.

Building up a strong relationship with your target market is important. Free article directories allow you the means for doing just that. People are more inclined to make a purchase from an online business that they know something about versus one that is foreign to them. It also tells them that you are dedicated to your customers and not just out there to make money from them.

There are rules and guidelines that apply to free article directories. Read through them before you set up your account. The rules can vary too such as the minimum word length and the amount of time it takes before the articles will be available for readers. It can range from a few days to a week so find out.

If you aren’t taking part in free article directory submissions as a means of marketing your business, you are missing out on a great opportunity. There is so much that any business can write about that will capture the attention and the loyalty of that target market. The fact that you can keep your advertising costs low and your profits high is a great motivation to get started with it.

Marriage is a lifelong commitment, or should be anyway. Today, many people get married and then end up in divorce. Living with another person can be difficult but if you are committed to making it work you can get through just about anything. However, it takes two people willing to communicate for a marriage to work. More time needs to be spent communicating before marriage even enters the picture.

Marriage is more than the wedding where the couple gets to say their vows. That should only be the first step in a long and loving marriage. It is important to talk about the common problems in marriage before hand. For example talk about how household chores will be divided. Talk about how finances will be handled. Do you plan on having children? If so, will one of you stay home to care for them?

The more you understand about who your spouse is before you get married, the less conflict you will have afterwards. When you get married to someone you have to be willing to accept them for their strengths and their weaknesses. However, you can also help them to overcome any problems they may have. Marriage often gives people the strength to do things they weren’t able to do on their own.

There are many wonderful things about being married – if you are married to the right person. It should be someone that allows you to be yourself. Someone that you feel great around even when you have had a terrible day. Offering support and being supported is important in a marriage. Even though you are a couple now, that doesn’t mean you stop being individuals. Explore new things together, but also have time for yourself and your own interests.

Take time for your marriage rather than taking it for granted. Rather than focusing on the things that your spouse doesn’t do, focus on what they do accomplish. Thank them when they help you with something and always let them know they are appreciated. If something is troubling you, talk to your spouse about it. The two of you can work though things and your marriage will be stronger.

Even with a busy schedule due to work, children, and other responsibilities, take time for each other. By doing so you will keep that spark alive and it will continue to grow. Always remember the reasons why you fell in love with each other to begin with. Every marriage has some ups and downs to content with over the years. However, you want to feel loved and that your spouse is there for you. Make sure they know you are there for them no matter what happens in your lives together.

Experiencing YOGA...

noreply@blogger.com (Hannah) — Sun, 23 May 2010 14:01:00 +0000

I have always had a very active and fun lifestyle, but I have to admit there are times when it catches up with me. I have a job I love but there can be tight deadlines to meet. Then there are all of the things that go on in a typical household. Toss in two daughters and you can understand why I get stressed out at times.

One of the things I have done for myself though is taking part in yoga. I was introduced to it by a friend one day when I told her how overwhelmed I feel at times. I also told her that sometimes I am just too worked up to sleep or to concentrate on a particular task. She invited me to go to a yoga class with her.

I was skeptical at first but went to find out more about it. I also needed some time to myself and figured this was a good reason to get out of the house. I couldn’t believe how much I enjoyed the yoga class. I wasn’t able to fully focus on it all the way through but I was able to do so for short periods of time. The exercises we did weren’t difficult but they did feel great.

When the class was over I felt rejuvenated both in terms of my body and my mind. As I go home I couldn’t believe how different I felt. Just a few hours before I had left the house very uptight. Now I was relaxed and had a smile on my face. As soon as I walked into the house my daughters commented on how great I looked.

Even though my life is still very busy I have make it a priority to add yoga classes to my routine. I have advanced to more complicated types of exercise and that has also been encouraging. I feel that this has been a great benefit to help me cope with life overall in a more calm and relaxed way.

I encourage anyone that could use a method of relaxing to try yoga. It is fun and it doesn’t seem like hard work as so many other forms of exercise do. You can also do yoga at home, in a class, or when you travel. You don’t have to invest in expensive workout equipment or try to find a place in your home for it. You have so much to gain by trying yoga!

Landscaping Design Ideas

noreply@blogger.com (Hannah) — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 03:49:00 +0000

It is that time of year when more people want to spend their free time outdoors. That is why looking for landscaping design ideas becomes more common. Finding what is a good match for you home or business is important. Of course you want to be able to add your own personal touch to the element as well. There may be favorite plants or flowers you are partial to.

When it comes to landscaping design ideas, you can go with something very simple. Adding sod that is professionally installed is a great place to start. If your lawn appearance isn’t what you had hoped for this is a way to transform it fast. You can also create a borer around it with trees, plants, or flowers.

If you don’t like the idea of spending lots of time caring for your lawn, consider landscaping with some large rocks or small colorful rocks. They look very elegant and they are a breeze to care for. Just was them occasionally and pick out any trash or leaves that may blow that direction.

It is fun to explore various landscaping design ideas. Drive around town and see what other people are doing. As you find things you would like to incorporate take photos of them. This is a great way to show professional landscapers what you are interested in too. Then there isn’t any risk of miscommunication.

You can look in magazines or online too for landscaping design ideas. There are tons of them out there so you aren’t limited to any certain style. You do want to consider what will grow well in your climate and environment though. Mixing and matching various landscaping design ideas you come across can help you to create a unique atmosphere that you love. Many professional services can even come up with ideas on your behalf for you to consider if you like.

Heart's Day For Me Is Everyday!

noreply@blogger.com (Hannah) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 03:02:00 +0000

Valentine’s Day is a special day for people to express their love for each other. There are many ways to go about doing this. Exchanging gifts is a common part of it such as jewelry, flowers, and candy. However, many couples also want to use this occasion to be able to spend more time with each other. They go to lengths to get a sitter so they can enjoy a nice dinner, go out to a movie, or even get away for a weekend.

When you have been with someone for many years it can become harder to come up with great gift ideas for Valentine’s Day. However, doing something that shows you still love that person and they are important is all that matters. Writing them a letter or a poem is often something that will be cherished more than any gift you can offer them.

Spending more time as a couple is on the list of priorities for many people. However, when you try to balance work, children, and other commitments it can become difficult. Valentine’s Day can be the perfect opportunity to carve out more time for each other. Overcoming the hurdles to make it happen is going to make that time together more enjoyable.

There are plenty of great gift ideas and getaways advertised for Valentine’s Day. Take the interests of your special someone into consideration when you start looking for something to offer them. It isn’t the dollar value of what you give them but that the connection is for them on an emotional level.

What makes Valentine’s Day so special is that people express their feelings for each other in different ways. Make the occasion one that is unique for you and your loved one as well as very special. Look outside of the box of traditional gifts and ideas and allow yourself to be very creative.

Heart's Day For Me Is Everyday!

New Year’s Resolutions

noreply@blogger.com (Hannah) — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 04:50:00 +0000

How may years in a row have you made a New Years Resolution and then failed to follow through with it? I too have done this and then regretted it down the road. I have learned though not to beat myself up for it. Instead, I have decided to find ways to keep those resolutions.

First, I had to really think about what I wanted. I decided to chance my mindset about it all. You see, in the past I had always given up something as part of New Years Resolutions. I guess I thought that was the way it had to be. I had made a vow to lose weight, to stop drinking so much coffee, and all of those common things that so many people do.

This year, my New Years Resolutions involve giving myself more. Now, before you think I am being selfish I want to share with you what I am giving myself of. It isn’t anything that is bad for me! Over the holidays I get to spend time with friends and family and I really enjoy it. Yet I don’t get to visit with them nearly enough throughout the year.

This is why I have made a new Years Resolution to do so. Those that are living close to me are going to get more initiations from me to meet for lunch, to spend an afternoon watching movies, and even to come over with their entire family to hang out. Those that don’t live locally are going to get more emails from me, phone calls, and photos of my family throughout the year.

I have decided to give myself more sleep at a New Years Resolution. I have stated in past years that I would have a positive outlook on life in general. I have found that is hard to do when you are going on 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night. So I am establishing a bedtime for me and sticking to it. Plus, I am going to cut out Saturday morning events now and then so I can sleep in if I want to.

Spending more quality time with my husband and my kids is on my list of New Years Resolutions. While I am with them often, I find we are all doing our own thing. Coming up with some great activities we can all take part in is going to change that. If the dishes have to sit in the sit then so be it!

I have always loved to read, but find I do it now when I have to instead of getting to enjoy novels. To ensure my hobby gets more time I am joining a local reading club. The group selects a book, everyone reads it, and then we meet to discuss it. I think this will also allow me to meet some terrific people.

Every single one of my New Years Resolutions are things I really want to accomplish this year. I am confident I will be able to succeed and that my life will be better because of the decisions I am making. New Years Resolutions don’t have to be about giving up things. They also don’t have to be out of reach so accomplish what you set out to do with them.

Priceless It May Seems To Me...

noreply@blogger.com (Hannah) — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 13:34:00 +0000

I was asked what is my priceless possession and it should be a thing? So I randomly check all my things and asses how much each of it worth? But I can't decide, because to me everything seems to be all in the same value regardless of the price.

I realized that what I consider as my priceless possession are just 2 piece of papers...

NO.1

A letter from my Dad written 10 years ago and it says there.....

"I pray that someday you'll marry someone who can take care of you the way me and your Mom is taking care of you, I pray that may you be the kind of person God wants you to be,always filled your heart with so much love."

Not all fathers have written a letter to their daughters,we only have one father in this lifetime and once we lost them we can never have them back in this world, I don't know if I have been good enough daughter or how many times I have made him feel so proud of me, but if he ever sees me now I know he is happy to see the kind of person I am today! I miss you PAPA!

No.2

MY MARRIAGE CONTRACT, sure it was just another piece of paper but not everyone believes in marriage not everyone have the guts to enter into something like this the fact that I was able to walk down the aisle have signed the contract and have kept my vows and been true to it all these years is something I consider priceless.

Maybe it wasn't the marriage contract at all maybe it's the thought of being true to it.

Photography…

noreply@blogger.com (Hannah) — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 17:31:00 +0000

I’ve just been looking at some of the digital cameras on the market and realized how easy it would be to use one to supplement my income! I’m already well versed in the classifieds posting service and so would be able to use this to market my photography business. Of course it helps that I seem to have some natural ability in the photography field and can manage to center images without cropping off heads or leaving some group members “bleeding” over the edges!

Looking for the classifieds posting service ads in my local paper however I realize that it’s not enough to just promote “photography”. It seems everyone has caught onto this a long time before I have. But having checked through a few back copies of these classified posting service columns I’ve found that there’s a gap in the market – and I can fill it! Animal portraits! Dogs especially are very much “in” at the moment, especially those little purse size dogs, and their owners are willing to spend hundreds of dollars buying them great outfits – well what better way to showcase their beloved four legged friend complete with designer ensemble than in a pet portrait? Even the copywriting for the classifieds posting service ad will almost write itself because this is such a hot market!

I’ve always had a great connection with dogs and cats, and I’m sure that this kind of venture would be a success. Once I get a decent camera with lots of megapixels, plus some props and stuff to use make the portrait look more professional, the only thing I’m going to need is somewhere to use as a studio. Then I can get my ad ready to go in the local classifieds posting service. The question is where would be best? I’m going to need somewhere that’s climate controlled so that it’s comfortable to work in, and then it needs to be somewhere near to the ground floor and preferably situated near to some kind of doggy “bathroom” area such as a park or field. Possibly having a litter tray available for cats that have stage nerves might be an idea too! If the idea takes off, and there’s reason why it shouldn’t – there’s an abundance of over-indulged pooches in this area, never mind the cosseted cats, then perhaps I could rent somewhere more suitable but for now I might have to make do with using my garden shed.Some paint, soft furnishing and of course good lighting should make it a good studio at least to begin with.

So the first thing I need to do is search around the classified ads looking for a decent camera. I probably should check out some local classes to learn how to use a good digital graphics software package and then I’ll be able to manipulate the photographs I take and might be able to up-sell one portrait into maybe images that could be used for greeting cards etc. Unlike many of my money making ideas, the more I think about this one, the better it seems! Apart from funding the camera, the only real problem seems to be which of the many selling points I should use to start the ad for the classified posting service?

What Always Been The Same...

noreply@blogger.com (Hannah) — Sun, 24 May 2009 00:19:00 +0000

Time flies so fast, many things have changed..I lost some of the most important people in my life. I fall,I struggle, I almost give up and yet there's always something deep inside of me that keeps me holding on. I know things only end when we decided to stop hoping and believing .

I've been busy for the past few months, busy enough that I even failed to took the time to notice and appreciate small things that really makes life meaningful. I work hard like there's no tomorrow, I barely even sleep at all.:-(

Today upon realization of what I needed to realize.One thing remains the same it's LOVE that always keeps me going.

In celebration of my 6th Wedding Anniversary I just want to share a couple of lines from my favorite song..

"To Make You Feel My Love"

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I would offer you a warm embrace.

To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong.

I'd go hungry, I'd go blind for you
I'd go crawling down the aisle for you
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.

The storms are raging on a rolling sea
Down the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
But you ain't seen nothing like me yet
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
Make you happy, make your dreams come true"To the man who I can't hardly be with ...
Waiting For You and Loving you is like the only thing I never get tired of doing.

My Journey Begins...

noreply@blogger.com (Hannah) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 06:27:00 +0000

Every now and then I close my eyes and wonder how great it would be to be in some other place, live the life of someone else who seemingly live a happier life and go shopping like a shopaholic!....On a second thought, what am I complaining about?

Those thoughts are merely fantasies. When my thoughts land back on planet earth where reality lives, my fantasy world fades so well that I no longer run after a mirage!

Those super star dreams, blind dates and drama queen moments are not scarce in my life but what matters the most is those little things that I so often take for granted without which I cannot continue my life.

I have discovered one of the darkest secrets in life. Nothing in life can be as perfect as what you make out of it. Nothing can be as exciting and natural as you decide to take note of it. Nothing can be as great as how you decide to appreciate it.

So there you go! I have finally arrived at a point in life where I have started appreciating small things, where I try to see myself through and where my understanding of the world is not limited to surface level illusions.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it’s harder every time. You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You’ll fight with your best friend. You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did. You’ll cry because time is passing too fast, and you’ll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back

Today is a special day. It is a day that I have turned a new page in my life and with this new page turned on, I shall continue to write about every single thing in my life which makes me, ME.

And hopefully, you can pick out points which make you, YOU…!

~So here’s to you and me, for a journey of a life time that is filled with self discovery, love and happiness!

Lovin’ What I’m Havin’

Hannah…
