Sunday Lunch at Silantro

"Sunday Family Day" used to mean preparing and cooking special  dinner for the family.   I want it special because Sunday is the usual day we are complete at home after daughter got married and moved out of the house almost three years ago.  I always look forward to that, ...to planning the meal, getting together, sharing stories, eating together!  Unfortunately,  it is now fairly difficult to carry out such simple task after the freak accident I had plus having a heart condition that prohibits me to excessively tire myself.
"Sunday family day" continues nonetheles, though sans the planning and cooking at home.  It's more of spending time choosing where to go right after the Sunday Worship.   The last resto we went to for fambam lunch was at Silantro.

Silantro is located in UP Town Center which serves Mexican food.  We've been here many times before and we keep coming back because they serve good food.  I'd mention some of our favorites.  ... I most love their Rib finger along with other beef dishes done with certain herbs which, I'm trying but couldn't figure out what. Another favorite here is their Beef Nachos.  One order is filling enough with their big servings, but we always have two because it's really toothsome yummy!  We also like their Paella Fajita Mix that replaces our plain rice.  The juicy grilled blue marlin or grilled mahi-mahi likewise makes it on the order list as it is hubby's fave.  To sum it all, I would say, everything we've tried and tasted is delectably good!  Giving them a two thumbs up!

Can't wait for the next Sunday to come! Sundays somehow ease my soul, body and mind!

What with the beautiful summer weather in most states of America, the yachting season is in full swing. Both yacht sellers and buyers are extremely active in the marketplace, as the desire for boat owners to get out and enjoy their favorite outdoor recreational activity is at its peak right now.

Prospective yacht buyers would be very wise to research a good number of different companies in the market, and by far the best resource now to begin their search is to go online to check out reputable, highly regarded companies that offer an extensive variety of new and used boats for sale.

One market to seriously consider looking at right away is Florida, which annually ranks at the top for the highest number of registered boats in the nation. Year-round boating availability and tremendous boat ownership numbers in the state translate into a very robust and healthy market for boat sales. Great competition among Florida yacht brokers and independent sellers is great for boat buyers, as sellers competing with each other will tend to keep their sales price as low as they can to promote the sales of their inventory.

In Florida, there are some extraordinary full-service yacht brokerage firms, like Yacht Registry, that feature top-of-the-line watercraft both online and in showrooms in the state. Featuring new and used boats from such of the industry's top brands as Back Cove Yachts, Sabre Yachts, Heritage East Trawlers, and others, a licensed Florida yacht broker can assist the customer with their every boating need.

Quality Hunting Camps in South Carolina

The calendar date of Tuesday, August 15, 2017 may not seem very significant to most people. But to a passionate, dedicated faction of outdoor enthusiasts, specifically hunters in South Carolina and all up and down the east coast, this date is very significant.  As I have no doubt, my hunter niece, Raquel has saved the date.  Circled in red on her calendar and of many hunters out this way, August 15 marks the opening day of deer hunting season in South Carolina.

Hunting in South Carolina can be a truly extraordinary experience, with a variety of game in abundance bringing hunters out into the beautiful countryside all throughout the year looking to make their bag limits.

Whitetail deer hunting opportunities in South Carolina are considered among the best in the nation. Hog hunting, though not as common as the deer hunt, has a passionate following here; it can be a truly unique hunt to try for the deer hunting traditionalists, and with hog hunting season coinciding with deer season, many hunters may 'dare to be different' and give it a try.

For outsiders interested in hunting South Carolina for the first time, it may be difficult to determine where the best hunts take place. Novice hunters, likewise, will more than likely not be too keenly aware of where the greater areas of hunting in the state lie. People that enjoy hunting in a group with their buddies, interested in 7locating a camp in the state to bring the group, may find it difficult to pinpoint just the right area to look into. And once that area is determined, it may even be more difficult in securing a hunting camp location there.

One terrific option that all these hunters can look into, as well as for hunters who may be looking for a more structured hunting environment in an area that virtually guarantees them a successful hunt, is to look into a hunting trip to a leading, extremely popular South Carolina hunting lodge. A fine example of one such lodge, Cedar Knoll Hunting Lodge, just south of Fairfax, is an intensely managed hunting property, offering hunts in three- and four-day packages.

Quality hunting camps provide terrific opportunities all throughout the year to successfully hunt a number of different game. Whether hunting for one specific species, or a combination package of two or even three species in one trip, hunters at these lodges will have the flexibility to get out, bag their limits, and be able to leave having made their hunting trip a most enjoyable, successful one.

Ways to Make Your Chicago Wedding Absolutely Amazing

Whether you live in Chicago or just love the city, you might decide that the Windy City is the perfect spot for your wedding. Its home to dozens of traditional venues as well as more unique locations like Lake Michigan and Millennium Park. No matter which venue you choose, you'll have the perfect place to celebrate with all your loved ones. If you want to make your Chicago wedding even more amazing, you can opt for some fun things to add to your special day.

Hire Transportation

The best way to make your big day more special is with the right transportation. When you rent a limo for you and your wedding party, you have someone to drive you to the ceremony and the reception. You can even arrange for a Chicago wedding limo rental to pick up guests staying in a nearby hotel. Limos can take guests back at the end of the night to help them avoid the hassles of city parking. If you aren't a traditional guy or gal, you can rent a party bus or look for a limo rental that comes in a fun or unique color.

Make Your Own Cocktails

Treat your guests to cocktails named after you and your new spouse or after some of the fun things you did or places you visited together. Anyone can put out bottles of champagne or have wine served at the table, but it takes a special couple to come up with their own unique cocktail. While you can request that guests come to the bar and order one of the drinks, you can also hire servers to circulate the room with pitchers that they use to fill and refill the glasses of your guests.

Surprise Guests

To make your Chicago wedding day one that guests will never forget, consider surprising them with your wedding. Send out invitations to one venue, but have limos and other cars waiting there to transport guests to a completely different venue before the ceremony begins. You don't need to rent two venues because you can request that guests wait outside a hotel or meet you in a local park. Traditional weddings are gorgeous and perfect for some couples, but you may want to have an amazing Chicago wedding that incorporates fun ideas like limo rentals, venues you surprise guests with and customized cocktails.

Keeping the Faith

I am laid back when it comes to blogging.  Most especially now that I am fighting off slight depression.  Since the unpleasant surprise and devastating discovery I had in January, (just don't ask me to disclose about it) I was down in deep dejection.  No matter how much I tell myself that I am okay and that I can handle this with ease, I still fail.  For every now and then, the scenario hits hard on me!  And when it does, too many negative thoughts run in my head!  As it did,  again!  Hurts and pains rumbles inside of me.  Nevertheless holding back the tears as a lump swells on my throat.
For how long I would go through on this suffering?  I have no idea!  But I keep my faith in the Lord that he is in control.

Road Trip to Clark, Pampanga

One day last week, while working on my daily chores at home, I can't help but think of taking a break from all those household routines.  How timely the invite from a close friend asking if I am willing to take time out for a road trip to wherever.  It wasn't clear where the destination was, but as I know it would be kind of relaxing,  I readily agreed.  Haha..  I know we won't go too far anyway!  Another very close friend joined in and off we were on the road, NLEX specifically!  We decided to try and have a little fun so we headed to Widus Hotel and Casino in Clark, Pampanga.   No one amongst us is a gambler.  But for the heck of it, we walked in at the Slots Machine section and each confidently sat on one.  I thought I am knowlegeable enough but not!  We were winning for a while but ended losing a few bucks at the end.  I suppose that's usually how it goes!  You win and continue to play until you lose it all, if lady luck isn't by your side.  We hung out by the pool for a li'l more time then looked for a better place to fill our grumbling tummy.  The food inside the hotel cost an arm and a leg thus we looked a little farther.   I remember one good place I often go to with my family when in Clark.  Koko buri is the name.  They serve good Korean dishes along with other international ones.  Glad my friends enjoyed the food,  good enough reason  for my friend on the steering wheel to drive back home with lightness.

Ain't it obvious?  Boredom is gone!  Their smiles say it all!

Saying Goodbye Gracefully

There comes a day when each of us eventually has to say goodbye to our childhood home.  This is often due to a death or illness, but sometimes it is just a matter of your parents needing to down size.  Regardless of the reason, cleaning out a home that someone has spent their entire lives in is never an easy task.  It will help if you can break it down into a few basic steps.

To Keep or Not to Keep

 The very first thing you have to do is decide what is worth keeping and what needs to be pitched.  Begin by allowing each family member to go through and pick out anything they can put to good use.  If your parents are simply moving, they should have the final decision on exactly what goes with them and what stays behind.

 
A sentimental Journey

 It can be hard to know what to do with the items that have sentimental value.  Divide family photos up among you and your siblings according to relevance.  If either parent had a special collection, make sure family and close friends get a piece from that collection as a remembrance.  This approach works for everything from the kitchen dishes to the very last knick knacks.

 
 
 

Remove the Junk

As you are cleaning room by room, begin a trash pile as well as a donation pile.  Anything of worth may be donated while broken items can be pitched.  Contact a donation center that is willing to make home pick ups.  The trash pile also needs hauled away. When in need of  junk removal Long Island has several companies that can help such as the professionals at Remove My Junk.

A Clean Sell

Once the house is empty, you need to do a good cleaning. Wash windows, sweep floors, and scrub dingy walls.  Make sure the lawn and gardens are well kept, and contact a reliable realtor to help you find the perfect buyer. This professionals will help you through the final steps leading up to the sale.

Cleaning up your childhood home is easier with this step by step outline to follow.  Hopefully it wilĺ help you achieve your ultimate goal without any setbacks or arguments among family members.  Now you will all be able to move forward and enjoy life while keeping your memories with you.

Going Insane

Currently going through the toughest time of my life.  Can't contain the heaviness in my heart..   Experiencing shortness of breath and piercing pain.   Wanting to run amuck!

I know I'm not perfect.  But what have I done to be hurt intensely like this?
