American Idol - Thia Megia

Truly one of Filipino pride again. She is Thia Megia, 16 years old from Hayward California. She made it to the top 12 of the top rating show American Idol. Hopefully she'll make it all the way through. I have seen her last performance and she is really good. Her voice is amazing and it really sound so good when you hear it.

Love it!!

We were at Kenner, Louisiana yesterday and Oh my God my husband brought me to this place where I could find a bunch of Filipino foods. Yes, you got that one right. He brought me to the Asian market at Kenner and Oh my!!! they have a big store and a huge selection. Most of the food that I miss are all there and of course I picked out everything that I wanted as what my loving husband told me. This place is 2 hours drive from the house and I don't really blame him if I go shopping all the way..Lol..As you can see in the picture, those are some of the items that we bought .

Wow!!!that's all I can say. The bagoong (fish sauce) that I have been wanting to buy was also there. I can just go shopping there the whole day. Their store is 4 times bigger than the Asian market that we have here in our area and the selection is just exceptional. I hope to go back there next month for another grocery trip and I will make it sure it will last for a month..Lol..

Good evening to all!!!

Filipino Channel On Direct TV

I was very surprised when my father in law told me the other night that he had purchased a new program on Direct TV. At first, I was just like okay that's great. But later he reveals the surprised. He said that the new program that he purchased were Filipino Channels. Wow! I was very astounded and so speechless when he said that.

I was very happy and now getting excited because they will install it tomorrow. I think I saw few commercials with the Filipino channel on DirectTV but was not really brought it up to my husband because I just normally watch my shows online. But now with directv, I can watch my shows in a huge screen, that is awesome. They will give us a month trial period though and see if we will keep it or turn it down. For sure we will keep it because aside from just watching my show, my husband could learn our dialect too by watching some of the shows with me.

Oh! today is Sunday and they will be here tomorrow. I am excited and anxious to see their programs. My dad in law told me that there are at least 28 channels for the Filipino shows. Oh that would be so awesome and I can't wait. Told my husband about it and he said it was very interesting. I am just glad that I can still watch my shows from the Philippines eventhough I am already residing here in the States.

Unique Wedding Invitations

The wedding month is fast approaching and for sure engaged couple are now preparing for their wedding. Preparing is a wedding is a tough job. It is too much pressure, details and everything. I handled two(2) wedding preparation before when I was still in the Philippines. One was for my cousin and one was for a friend of mine. I enjoyed doing it and makes me proud of myself that I can do it and I got compliments for that. When my fiance ( now husband ) proposed to me. I have the most amazing concept to my wedding. Preparation and everything. From colors to flowers to invitations and guests. My dream wedding is just a simple wedding. Simple yet elegant and memorable. I want it unique among other wedding I've seen. I did the preparation in the Philippines but our wedding is here the States. Our wedding details was a combination of his culture which is American and my culture which is Filipino. Our wedding went great and absolutely memorable for both us. It was our special day and we are grateful. We received so much compliment on our wedding invitations because it is a very Unique Wedding Invitations. Materials were made of native products and nobody really thought that it can be used for a wedding invitation. I did that myself and I am so proud. So couples out there, I know you can do it because if I can do it, you can do it. Best wishes.
