Mind Boggling Magic

Magic. It has been around probably since the year 1700s or earlier than that. But to this day, it has been one of the favorite form of entertainment. Kids and adults alike enjoy watching magic tricks, illusions, street magic etc. Some famous magicians I can think of right now are David Copperfield, Penn and Teller, David Blaine, Harry Houdini who was a very famous escapologist, and of course the one and only, dubbed as the Harry Houdini of the 21st century, the modern magical master Criss Angel himself.

Criss Angel, who has numerous awards on his sleeve, including the Magician of the Year in 2005 given by the Academy of Magical Arts and has a successful show in A&E called Criss Angel Mindfreak (wherein they showed a lot of his mind blowing performances such as…floating from one building to another with random crowd watching, walking on the water while people swim around him and vanished a half ton elephant in front of spectators to name a few), is featured to perform in the new Cirque du Soleil show called CRISS ANGEL Believe. It will be held in Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on September 12.

CRISS ANGEL Believe is surely another evocative journey inside the intricate mind of Criss Angel. Want to be the first to experience it? Text the word “Believe” to 22122 for a chance to win 2 tickets. Now, that is not an illusion at all!

It's Been A While

Geez! Miss posting stuff here, but I have been busy lately with some more important stuff than blogging (but I really do miss it). Anyways, I am just checking on you guys. Again, I'd like to thank you all for visiting me even if I can't return the favor (at least at this point, I will though, as soon as I get plenty of time). Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)

Payday Loans

Last Thursday, I got an email from may new found friend and said that she won’t be able to enroll in her school as she used her tuition fee money when her son was brought to the hospital to be treated for pneumonia. She said, she didn’t really wanna miss this summer school cause the subject is a bit difficult (I think it has something to do with math) so it’s gonna be a good time for her to take it up while her kids are on vacation cause she’ll be able to concentrate more with it. I encouraged her to check online Cheap Payday Loans, because I know it would surely help her. Today, she called me and told me that she’s excited coz she found PaydayLoanMania.com. She said it was so easy and that all she needed is a proof of steady income, proof of identity and an open bank account. She can apply online and get approved in as little as an hour. Isn’t that great! Well, I am happy for her. Don’t forget, PaydayLoanMania.com, we might need it one day.

Kiddieland Trip

Hi everyone! Haven't had a chance to post anything here. Anyways, I've been busy as a volunteer mom in my son's school. I always wake up early, then when we get home, I'm not dead tired, but very sleepy. So that's what I do, I'll put my son to sleep, then I will go to sleep. That's pretty much our everyday routine.

Here are some of the pictures in the last field trip that we both went. (We didn't go to their trip this week, we rested at home, did some of my work)

he liked this ride the most because it's the fastest moving ride

what can i say? he likes horses :)

spaceship?

he didn't stop bugging me with this boat till he gets to ride in it

dumbo :D

School Boy

I have been busy this week coz last Monday, kuletz started going to summer school. Their regular class will actually begins in August. Anyways, his first day started real good. He was so anxious to get in the classroom as he's seeing all the kids playing. He didn't even bother to say goodbye to me, he just sat there and started playing with the other kids. I left him in the room, went to the waiting area (opo, hihintayin ko po sya don hanggang 3 p.m. translation: yep! i gotta wait for him till 3 p.m. wouldn't it be nice instead of waiting for him at the school, I can just wait for him at home while I am trying to attend one of the online colleges of my choice...yes, I am planning to go back to school) I am thankful that I brought some of my filipino pocketbooks, after an hour the Asst. Director approached me and asked me if I am ok, I said yeah... then she asked again, if I wanted to volunteer in helping in one of the classrooms. I gladly said yes. Geez! It was chaos ehehehehe it's like being in a room with 20 Kuletz in it :) I commend all the teachers coz teaching is hard. I know most teachers enjoy it and I am hoping that you all find lots of teaching jobs out there! Anyways, all I did though was, help the teacher and her assistant to prepare the table for lunch, then help them take the kids to the bathroom, prepare their cots for nap time. The rooms are open so I can here my kuletz calling Mommy! Mommy!... then naptime, he saw me coz I talked to the teacher's assistant in their room, I told her where I put my son's pillow ang blanket. Geez! He started crying and screaming Mommy!!! I tried ignoring him, but he ran to me and wouldn't let go. It's hard for me too coz it's the first time that we've been away from each other. That Monday, from naptime, which is 12 p.m. till 2 p.m. I can hear him crying. Tuesday is better, he didn't see me the entire time he was in the classroom. I just asked the teacher and the assistant how did he do and they said, that he did very well compared Monday. He ate his food, mingled with other kids and did not cry (because he did not see me ehehehe). Wednesday, its their field trip! I went with him ofcourse (I plan to stay with him at school for a week). We went to Silver Stallion Ranch. It was fun! I enjoyed it too. We went on a hayride, they have a petting zoo, a southern comfort ride and a horse ride. They even have a tattoo area for the kids (spray painted/washable). Kuletz got scared to have a tattoo, he didn't want it. But what surprised me is that, he got on the horse!! I thought he'll be scared, but he loved it and didn't wanna get off the horse. He also love the southern comfort ride. Thursday, his daddy didn't let him go to school, he said stay home and rest. My only complain so far is the high tuition fee argh! I'd say school grants for kids like him would be perfect!

Here are some of the photos (cellphone) from the trip:

he loved this ride

the biggest horse among the four

southern comfort ride (this one is fast!)

marshmallow (he didn't eat it coz it got so black :D)

Interesting

Today, while I was putting the clothes in the dryer, my attention was caught by an old and a bit dirty envelope that's on top of the dryer. I checked the date and it was stamped December 2, 1944, but the actual date on the letter is November 26th, 1944. It's from War & Navy Departments in New York. There's a short letter inside and it's very interesting. A letter from an Army husband I guess, to his dearest wife. I know it can't be considered "antique" yet (for it to be called antique, it should be around at least 100 years old). I will scan the letter and will post it here later on. This letter was probably from our crawl basement, it got out from there when they put the new furnace. I was just wondering if these two people are still alive. hmmm...

What's New?

Nothing much here. It was a long weekend and I did not do any of my internet "raket". Its like I took a mini vacation at the comfort of my home ehhehehe. I did not login to my YM nor as I have mentioned on any of my "rakets" all I did was watch television, and when I got tired of watching english tv shows, I turned to the internet and watched tagalog movies plus right now I am into watching a telenobela entitled "Maging Sino Ka Man" (book 1). Im not sure how long this telenobela is, but I am into parts 41-50. So far I've seen that there's parts 100 something posted. So we'll see. :) I just watch it coz I like Sam Milby. Will post more about him later on.

Anyways, last Saturday and Sunday, we stayed home, hubby grilled chicken for two days. Then yesterday, Monday, we went to the lake coz it was nice out. It was 79 degrees. Its pretty hot, but the lake wind feels better on the skin. Today, however, is pretty chilly again. We are in the 40s believe it or not. Crazy Chicagoland weather huh? :)

That's it for right now. Will try to post more on what's goin' on on this end. Take care everyone!

And The Winners...

...of this season's reality shows are...

American Idol (Season 7)

David Cook from Blue Springs, MO. Yey! I've been cheering for him since day one. I thought it's gonna be David A. coz of the judges' comments. Thankfully more David Cook fans voted their butts of last night. He didn't get a lot of good comments specially from Simon, but mind you, he retracted those when he watched the show again at his home. By the way, David C. invited Kimberly Caldwell to dinner (you probably have seen it, if you watched the Idol Tonite's red carpet event on T.V. Guide channel, thought it was cute ehehehe

Survivor (Fans vs. Favorites - Micronesia)

The winner is Parvati Shallow from Vero Beach, FL. I never liked her specially during her first appearance in Survivor (Cook Islands). She tried to manipulate the boys using her looks. Nways, she was in the final two with Amanda, ultimately she won the million dollar by one vote.

America's Next Top Model - (Season 10)

The winner - Whitney Thompson from Atlantic Beach, FL. She was chosen America's Next Top Model over Anya Kop. Whitney is the first full-figured model that won ANTM. She's pretty and really has personality, although most of the judges during elimination thought that she looks fake. But I guess she won, coz she stepped up her game even more. I believe you will see her in the cover of Seventeen magazine in their June or July issue.

There you go folks! I am looking forward for the next season of the above shows... can't wait. :)
