Wandering Thought

Observing

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Thu, 31 May 2012 17:36:18 PDT

There are a few things that I've noticed this year in my surroundings, and those are: more butterflies, birds hang out longer, new wild flowers, and my tulips plus allium flowers didn't bloom. It had to do with the warm winter we had, and the odd weather in March I think.

lavender fleabane

One noticeable wild flowers in my yard this year is this beautiful fleabane, with a trim of lavender color on their petals, which I didn't have last year. The petals are thinner and stringier than the wild asters, which usually bloom later in the summer.

So far, we have a pattern of hot spell for two days, and then back to cold for the next few! If I am not mistaking, the flowers are very confused as well.

It's Thursday, so here my Wandering Thought comes in to play:

1) Do you notice strangeness in the weather where you live?

2) Do you have any special plan for this summer?

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Wed, 30 May 2012 16:07:32 PDT

Where would you like to go if you win some tickets, and free to pick your own destination? It is a difficult decision with all the promising excitements and possibilities. Websites such as www.travelsoon.com will ease one of the burdens of planning a trip by giving you a chance to search worldwide.

On this site, you can search for cheap holidays, worldwide holidays, and all inconclusive holidays. There are great deals for short breaks in cities from Dubai, New York, Miami, Istanbul, Rome, Venice, Milan, to Las Vegas, etc. The choices are amazing and plenty of other cities you might like to visit.

If you booked before June 30th, 2012, you will be able to save another 30% on all your bookings. They even offer the lowest price guaranteed. What I like best about this website is that once you had a destination in mind, you will be able to view the weather for that city in the month of your travel, which gives you an idea on what it would be like and what you should pack.

Paris is on my bucket list among many others! I would like to see the Eiffel Tower, the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and the world famous Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo da Vinci at the Louvre Art Gallery. Having learned all of this in school from long ago, I just want to have a real life experience.

Cruising Is the Best Way to Vacation

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Wed, 30 May 2012 12:55:16 PDT

My first cruise was about 10 years ago, and I didn't do too well on that trip. I was sea sick for most of the five days cruise, and after taking some medications, I slept through many events. It wasn't at all fun for me, but the memory of being with family was still a treasure.

However, my recent cruising holidays with my sisters proved to be the perfect choice for all of us, and I had no problem at all. The main reason for this change was that we stayed in a room with a balcony.

I was able to go outside and to see the sea or to get fresh air when needed without a hassle. It made a huge different in my experience, and I would not hesitate cruising again. For us, we liked the convenient of having a place to sleep, plenty of foods to eat 24 hours, and time for bonding over a cup of hot coffee wherever we chose on the ship. We didn't have to worry about cleaning and cooking as it was a vacation after all.

We managed to catch a couple of lively entertainment shows at night, and my sisters even attended yoga class! The children had their own age appropriate clubs to join and spent the day when they wanted to.

Overall, cruise ship has something for everyone from young to old. This is my way to vacation as I actually didn't have to do any household chores.

Spring Break In Turkey

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Wed, 30 May 2012 12:54:29 PDT

By the sea

I met very few people that don't like to travel. Once you see a different part of this wonderful world, you will catch that "traveling bug" as they say. Although I have not yet living out my dream of exploring the planet, my children have traveled to many more places than I did.

For spring break from college two years ago, my daughter and her friends decided on holidays to turkey as their destination. They wanted to experience different culture, climate, and tradition to enrich their learning.

They went in May, which happened to be the off-peak season for tourists, but they found plenty of events to attend. They explored a few ancient ruins of Turkey, and of course, enjoyed time by the sea. As you already know, Turkey is surrounded by the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Marmana Sea, and Aegean Sea.

Now, if you have these many different seas to chose from and have little time, would you not try to at least see them?

My daughter was too busy with the little time that they have in Turkey to even think about taking photos. She said seven days were not enough to cover a small part of Turkey, since most of their time was in the air and on the road getting from here to there.

Even without pictures for keepsakes, my daughter was happy as the memory was inside of her forever. She plans on going back once graduated and has a steady job!

Candle Holder Flowers

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Sun, 27 May 2012 03:51:00 PDT

Pink Flowers

At the front of my sister's yard, there were two of these beautiful flower bushes, pink and white. She didn't know what their names are, so I called them candle holder flowers since the heart of these flowers looked like sap, and there was a little stem came out of it.

Moth On Pink Candle Holder

Someone out there must know the name of this flower, especially Californian people. I didn't see the moth when taking the photos but was happy to see after I uploaded the photos.

White Flower

I only had a couple photos of this white color one! I don't travel well and remembered feeling very groggy when walking around her yard. I am surprised the photos turned out much better than I thought.

Mosaic Of Candle Holder Flowers

The four corners in this mosaic were the buds of these flowers, and they were covered with ants! I don't think we have these flowers here in Michigan.

Clean Your Rug With Green Choice

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Fri, 25 May 2012 09:54:59 PDT

There is something I noticed in my shopping behavior, and that is I'm drawn to anything that labeled "green or earth friendly". I am even willing to pay a little more for whatever products that I need.

I want to do my bit in reserving the environment with whatever way I can.

Green Choice, a company based in New York City, comes out with Green Cleansers, and offers nyc ny rug cleaning service. They only use green solutions to get the job done without the long lasting effect in our world.

Besides rug cleaning, Green Choice also has the following services:

Rug repair

Air duct cleaning
Water damage

Ok, you can laugh at me all you want, but do you know you can have your mattress cleaned, and have you ever get it done yet? I would love to hear your opinion.

Chose Turkey For Your Next Vacation

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Fri, 25 May 2012 09:46:47 PDT

Situated in the Middle East, Turkey is surrounded by the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Aegean Sea, and Sea of Marmara. It is also known for ancient ruins of Troy, which was discovered by an amateur archaeologist, Heinrich Schliemann, a German businessman in 1870.

Traveling on cheap holidays to turkey has somewhat become a popular choice, especially to Istanbul. There are plenty of entertainment celebrations and cultural festivals taking places year round.

I have a friend who lives in Istanbul, and he is always amazed me with his articles on how beautiful his birth place was and still is. The history of Turkey went back to the Stone Age settlements, in 7500 BC. Thus, we all came to know the ever famous names such as Cyrus the Great, Alexander the Great, Troy, Homer, and the Trojan War.

My friend travels extensively throughout his own country in hoping to learn more, discover more, and to be amazed with its deep history.

Tourists should take advantages of traveling during off peak season which is in April, May, and October, where they can still enjoy exploring Turkey at a cheaper price. The Mediterranean Sea, and the Aegean Sea areas are most preferred choices, with guarantee sunshine temperature from April to September.

Since Turkey offers three coastal destinations, it is an ideal vacation area with sandy beaches, and amazing views to see.

Go Ahead, Search For Cheap Holiday!

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Sat, 26 May 2012 03:00:48 PDT

Before many big and different travel search websites come online, I find myself typed in Google the two most popular key words of all: cheap holiday when an opportunity to travel comes up. In fact, the word "cheap" had yielded many wonderful results, and some time surprisingly at amazing prices.

One year, while searching for airline tickets to California with the words "cheap flights", I found an out of this world deal, that instead of flying only two people, I was able to fly all four of us round trip, and still saved.

The word cheap is powerful and nothing to be embarrassed about. Yet, when I used it in my post, I had bloggers emailing me suggesting that I should use "affordable, manageable, or reasonable" words. They all sound better and nice, but they didn't punctuate the meaning as the word "cheap" does.

Now, if I was to search for "affordable/reasonable/manageable holiday", then a question pops into my mind: "what is affordable or reasonable or manageable meant, and to whom does it applied to?"

So if I really and actually want a cheap holiday, I still use these words "cheap holiday", without a flinch or hesitation. I would not bother beating around the bushes!

Now this is where my Wandering Thought comes in to play:

1) What is your favorite phrase or key word you use for searching online?

2) When traveling, do you pack just enough to last a few days or pack extra just in case?

New Zealand Was On Our List

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Thu, 24 May 2012 16:16:00 PDT

New Zealand Vacation

When my oldest boy was offered a position as sommelier on the Princess cruise ship, we were all so excited with the idea of traveling around the world. We looked up on the internet, and tried to Find New Zealand Flights online with Dial A Flight. He was supposed to be in the South Pacific Ocean part of the globe, and New Zealand was on his agenda.

We started to make plan on meeting up for family vacation when his contract were up. The prospects of traveling to see the other parts of the world kept us busy while my son preparing to leave home.

It is with these type dreams that give us something to look forward to, and make it all worth to work hard for.

Since New Zealand comprises of North Island, South Island and many smaller islands, it sounds like a perfect place to enjoy a vacation with so many possibilities to discover. It is also close to Australia, Thailand, Hong Kong. and Singapore which could be included in our trip if we desire an Asian trip to our schedule.

In the end, with a big mixed up on paper work, my son was sent on a cruise ship based in Los Angeles. He is enjoying this part of the country as well, and we are currently working on a new plan of where to meet up for our vacation.

Ty Wonder Sea Center At SB State Beach

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Mon, 21 May 2012 06:47:19 PDT

Purple Star Fish

My sister, PreciousKD, and her husband have passes to this Ty Wonder Sea Center at Santa Barbara State Beach. So away they went with the kids inside while us the adults took cover under the porches of stores.

I gave JoJo my camera and told him to go crazy with photographing! Of course, all of these pictures in this post belonged to him. I can't take credit for them. I think he did a great job considering the photos were taken through a glass panel.

Octopus

Judging from the many tentacles, I believes this is an octopus and this side is rarely seen! Don't you think it is interesting from this view point?

Jelly Fishes

JoJo also took some awesome jelly fish photos, and I love this one! It looked like something out in space. I have no idea what the circle thing was, but it made one great object for photo opt!

Sea Critters and the Kids

This mosaic showed many of the sea critters, and the children all got to touch them, including a baby shark! Just by looking at these photos, you can tell that they've learned quite a bit, and their curiosity is met!

Have You Checked Your Spam Folder?

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Wed, 23 May 2012 08:16:12 PDT

Who knows why I bother to click on the spam folder in my blogs, but I sure glad I did! I found a bunch of comments from my close blogging friends in there, among with anonymous and "jibbish-foreign-characters" comments, which really surprised me to see.

I had a nudge in bold letters of my pop-up comment section stating "***LINK IN COMMENT = SPAM = DELETE***".

Many bloggers know that extra link in the comment itself shows a bad impression, and many working blogs, like mine, doesn't need that sucking juice!

I always sent a handful of this "link in comment" to my spam folder and never looked back. My take on this is that if you choose to ignore me, then I will choose to ignore you! It is like someone asking you to not smoke in their house, but you do it anyway kind of thing!

Since there are changes on Blogger dashboard, I decided to do a quick clean up, and found the comments!

So this is where my Wandering Thought comes in to play:

1) Have you ever checked your spam folder?

2) Do you think mutual respect should be practiced on a website/blog?

The Ocean View At SB State Beach

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Sat, 12 May 2012 16:09:43 PDT

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Sail Boats Race

There was a sail boats race the day we were there! Even though the sun was shining and the water surface was shimmering, it was cold and windy. We wore winter jackets on shore, and these sail boats racers wore their protected wet suits.

Military Ship

We didn't really know what was going on with this race, but we saw adults and children alike trying to maneuver the sails. However, my interest was not with them, and I rather focused on that big ship out there. It looked like one of those military ship!

Sand Art

We then decided to go to the beach area for the children to play a while. Along the way, we saw many of this kind of sand art, where the "starving" artists creatively sculpted to collect coins from visitors. There were many other amazing and unique "money collecting pots" like this one.

Closer to the Beach

Once we reached this sandy beach, the children started to build their castles, and got wet straight away. Did I mentioned I was jet-lag, sleep deprivation, and exhausted to move around too much? I just sat and munched snacks!

The Ocean View at State Beach

Giving different circumstances, I think I would be more alert and took more photos! I love being by the ocean, feel the wind on my face, smell the fresh salty air, watch the critters, and absorb all the busy activities of it all.

Managing Your Online Reputation

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Sat, 12 May 2012 16:08:34 PDT

I have been playing around with the HTML codes on my blogs for the last couple of months, and finally today I'm happy to say that it is where I wanted it. I am a novice when it comes to HTML, but my web design classes from way back in college really came in handy, and useful.

I know the basic of HTML language, and have to figure out slowly on how to add or change things. However, my reputation in this area is exceeded my skill according to my friend Judy, just because I help installed some snippet codes for her blogs on occasions.

Having a good reputation suits me just fine and is something I thrive for. This includes everything I do such as taking pictures, writing reliable articles, or just being a faithful supported friend. My online image is as important to me as in my real life.

Website business owners and web content writers face bad reviews or undesirable comments every day. Thus, online reputation is even more crucial for them than not as competition is very fiery, when everything is just a click away from establishing a potential customer or a loyal reader!

For this reason, there is help from website such as reputation.com that will monitor internet activity, alert and identify damaging part of your business. They will help you managing your online reputation so you can succeed.

Now this is where my Wandering Thought comes in to play:

1) How important is it for you to have a good reputation in the virtual world?

2) If you are an online business owner/writer/blogger, do you want to be known by your reputation?

Scenic View At SB State Beach

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Mon, 07 May 2012 15:55:13 PDT

View of the Privilege

Seeing these big, beautiful sail boats at Santa Barbara State Beach harbor, my first thought directed me to the rich and privilege! California is known for its high costs of living, expensive properties, and Santa Barbara is included.

Having a sail boat parked in this harbor must have cost an arm and a leg, and the big houses in the background screamed wealth!

Another View At the Opposite

I love the mountain view in California! Somehow, it gave me a sense of the majestic universe, and how closely we live nearby. There were some harmonic feelings to man and nature in this scenery.

Post Card Worthy

I was lost to do my own things and lost in thoughts with amazing nature all around me even though it was not elusive, but very open to the public, to all kind of people, and to all kind of levels in society.

We all connect somehow and share a common joy of nature with such peaceful understanding.

My Rock Patio Area

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Fri, 11 May 2012 08:59:28 PDT

Who wouldn't like to have beautiful patio pavers to sit in the sun and sipping ice cold lemonade? I wanted to have an area in my backyard for this very purpose, and in fact have tried to create one myself. My daughter, her friends (boys and girls), and I dug up bushes.

We laid down weed killer pad, moved little pebbles from one part of the garden, and filled up this area. It looked neat enough. It was a made-do area, and we had many fun nights with our fire pit. However, it was not anything like I have imagined, but butterfly loved it for some reasons.

Butterfly sitting on rock

The first two years, this area was a place for my daughter and her friends to hang out. We set out lawn chairs around the fire pit, and they brought over marshmallow/hot dogs/ sausages for their feast.

The weed killer pad worked for that first two years, but the debris collected between the little rocks turned to dirt, and weeds started to grow. My what-so-called rock patio area is now covered with many different types of weeds.

Blue and White Weed Flowers

The flowers in the above photo are the wild weed flowers that have taken over my rock patio area. I have a mixed feeling about this place. I want it to be neat and pretty with pavers, but on the other hand, I want see these beautiful weed flowers to come back year after year.

I know I can't have it all, so for now it is what it is!

Dreaming Of a Vacation In Thailand

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Fri, 11 May 2012 15:37:54 PDT

Thailand

This is the time of year when I want to escape to a warmer climate. April's weather has not been so kind. In fact, it was even colder than March, and I caught spring fever; thus, I begin to search for flights to thailand.

Why, you might ask! Thailand is one of the countries that I fancy to visit again. I remembered how beautiful it was way back in 1975 when we stayed there for a few months. The magnificent temples and beautiful beaches remained a pleasant memory in my heart.

Even though the situation was not desirable, it still has such an impressive impact on me as everywhere I saw was just beautiful. Flowers lined the streets, and temples shined in gold!

For those months I also picked up on learning a new language, and was able to communicate with Thai people for basic needs.

This is a land that I would love for my children to see and experience. I think I got all caught up in a desire to travel as the school is about to end, and summer vacation is the "talk of the town" in my circle at the moment.

One can dream and it is good for the soul, isn't it? Now, this is where my Wandering Thought came in to play:

1) How many of you are planning for a summer vacation outside the US?

2) Where would you want to go if you have a choice?

Opting For Natural and Organic Products

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Sat, 05 May 2012 05:20:15 PDT

This post brought to you by Whitney Farms. All opinions are 100% mine.

I always opt for anything natural and organic whenever possible, and for more than 10 years that I've live at my current dwelling, I have not used any chemical around my house yet. Last year, I broke down and bought a bottle of weed killer, but it sat in my garage still. I don't have the gut to use it as my children love to play outside.

The picture above is my irises garden, and I would love to use organic soil and organic plant food to feed this area as the nutrients are so needed here. I can tell because my irises are half the size of what they used to be.

When I read this: "Whitney Farms® a full line of 100% natural plant foods and soils with no additives, nothing artificial, just ingredients from the Earth, designed to give you big, beautiful flowers and veggies", I knew I have made the right decision to not used chemical spray.

Now with Whitney Farms® organic product, I will feel better to use it in my garden without guilt. My teenage son is in an environmental club at school, and he would not be happy if I used anything that is not good for the Earth.

I want to do my bit in reserving our Earth for years to come, and for many new generations to enjoy by opting for natural and organic products. You can too, by clicking on the link in this post, and fill out a very short form to receive $3 dollars off coupon from Whitney Farms.

Cheap Egypt Holidays

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Fri, 11 May 2012 15:32:48 PDT

Egypt

I love the internet as it gives opportunities to so many people in many different ways. It opens to a bigger world, and also makes things a lot easier. For example, the search option has the most significant use of all. If I need to know anything, any time of day, I can look for it and get results instantly.

When viewing a blogger's site, who happened to travel to Egypt, I find myself looking at cheap egypt holidays just to have an idea on the cost. By looking it up, I also surprisingly learn some new things, and it is exhilarating!

There are so many places in this world that I would love to have a chance to visit, and Egypt is on my bucket list. It is an ancient country that holds so much history and mystery from what I have learned in school years ago!

Sightseeing the pyramids in Egypt would be first priority for me since that were what impressed me the most. As in any country, I am sure Egypt has more to offer than the popular pyramids, or sphinx or Archaeological digs.

If you have been to Egypt, what would you recommend for first time visitors? Were there some favorite places that you keep as secret treasures and as your own preferences?

Critters At SB State Beach

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:20:28 PDT

Catching the Wind

Nature is all around us at Santa Barbara State Beach, from the annoying and noisy seagull, to the water, clouds in the sky, to the pelicans on top of a roof building. I took in the fresh sea breeze, the warm sun light on my face, and snapped pictures happily.

My son was busy playing with his little cousins, and chasing different birds on the boardwalk. Everyone was enjoying a beautiful day. Our group had a total of 14 people, kids and adults, males and females.

Critters At Santa Barbara State Beach

And as unpredictable as the weather everywhere else, we got rain and chilly wind when the sun went down. The little children and their parents enjoyed ducking out from the rain visiting the Sea Science Center, while some us took refuge under the roof of some stores on the boardwalk.

We had a complete day of a joyful event, and filled with different teases of the weather!

The Google + Profile Dilemma

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:48:30 PDT

Ok, I have just made my rounds around the blogger sphere, and quite frustrated with the G+ profiles. It is such a pain to click on it, and if you are not in their circles, you can't find their post or blog to return comments.

Moreover, if you are in the same circle, you have to scroll down a long list for a post to click on, which is another step, another minute to wait, another minutes less to visit with a total of two windows open for one blogger.

I hate all of these changes! (Oops..did I say it out loud?) It is just too complicated and unnecessary! Just lead me to your profile or your blog so I can spend some time looking around, and not a trip around the world before I can visit you, please!

Yes, I have joined the G+ thingy, but I still keep my Blogger profile! I just don't see the need to follow everyone's activities. I already have that on Twitter and Facebook accounts. Who has time for all of these?

This is where my Wandering Thought came in to play:

1) How many of you actually check into G+ to see what is going on in your circle?

2) How many switch profile to G+, or are you annoyed as much as I do with G+ profile?

It used to be easier to have fun blogging, and now it is such a big complicated mess!

Try Nopalea Wellness Drink

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 11:36:38 PDT

By now, you must have heard of Nopalea wellness drink, and are aware of its benefits for painful muscles, joints from inflammation.

If you are or know someone who is suffered from arthritis, Respiratory, Arterial, or Digestive tract Widespread health issues, then send for a FREE 32-ounce bottle to try out. You will only need to pay $9.98 for shipping and handling.

When drinking this daily, it can help:

Reduce pain due to inflammation
Cleanse itself of daily toxins
Promote optimal health
Relieve swelling in muscles
Protect cellular health

I strongly dislike taking supplement pills as they always seemed to get stuck in my throat; therefore, I opt for liquid form if available. Aging gracefully needs a little help here and there, don't you agree? When you live in pain every day, it is hard to be cheerful and spreading the joy of life!

My body can tell when it is going to rain, yes really, as my muscles and joints pain act up to the point of no mercy. When the weather changes, I usually have to take a pain pill to cope for the day. With three millions Nopalea bottles sold, I better send for my FREE one and relieve some discomforts from this inflammation.

Santa Barbara State Beach

noreply@blogger.com (Icy BC) — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 14:36:12 PDT

View of the Harbor

The only day we had in Santa Barbara, my sister took all of us to State Beach, where we walked down the boardwalk to the very end and look at the scenery around this area. It was a very beautiful day and very windy.
I was not into taking photos of people, but just a few snaps here and there of my JoJo for keepsakes. My sisters, however, took lots of photos of us, but I'm not permitted to show them on my blog, nor do I wanted to invade their personal preferences.

View of State Beach

Everywhere I turned, I saw a different view, and they were all amazing. I love watching my son running around and being so happy. It made my tired trip worth that much more to take. He loves being by the sea, and many times has asked me to move to California.

Sorry to say, but we have another seven years to go before the shackles could fall off. In the meantime, having a bit of vacation now and then is so very good for the soul.
