Life's Moments

I am all for living the good life. If you can afford to live a good life, then go for it! You don’t need to always check the cost of stuff before spending for it. Sometimes just go with your gut instinct! Go for what you feel will make you happy. That’s exactly what I told my cousin when he asked my opinion regarding getting one of those las vegas high rise condos. I told him to go for it! As long as he can afford to get one for himself, then why not? He deserves that kind of luxury because he’s been working so hard since he graduated from college. He doesn’t go on vacations as much as possible, preferring to work than rest. He also doesn’t spend as much on anything other than his basic needs and some indulgences or two on weekends.

He told me about the turnberrytowers.com/ and asked if I can check it for him. He wanted my opinion on the property he has his eye on so I obliged and checked it. What did I find out? It’s perfect for him! The Turnberry Towers is the ultimate ‘prize’ of all the hard work he’s put for the past two decades now. He deserves to have something to show for all those late nights he put at work, all those vacations he set aside, and all those special occasions he missed because he chose to go to work even on weekends.

Now that he’s been able to save more than enough, he told me that as soon as he gets his condo unit, he will cut back on work a bit. He will start living the good life. He will now enjoy the benefits of all the hard work he did for most of his life. I told him to go for it!

Don’t wait for you to be in your 30′s to travel. Do not be like me who waited until I became older when I first went on a trip without the family by my side. I should have went on local trips back when I was younger. It would have been more fun with some friends I no longer have contact with. Oh, well.

Go travel when you can! It need not be to somewhere exotic, or a popular destination. It can be just outside the city proper. One town past the city limits after another is enough.

Travel. It will broaden your horizon.

Others thought their wedding wouldn’t push through anymore. There were so many obstacles since the day they got engaged! But true love prevailed in their case. They did not let the obstacles ruin their dream of tying the knot and it was done in a beautiful fashion. There was even a photo booth rental dallas that their friends hired for them as a wedding favor to those who attended their special day.

I remember my younger sister’s best friend’s wedding. When they were still preparing for the big day, since my younger sister was the maid of honor, I got to be an unofficial part of the wedding prep team, too. I was the one who suggested to get a photo booth for weddings. I saw it through a web site back then, very much similar to the www.thephotobank.com and there I got the idea of making the photos wedding favors. It’s a two-in-one booth as it not just gave the wedding favors away, it was also used to capture moments behind the wedding itself.

I do believe that the two best ways to capture a special moment are through photos and videos. Since it would be harder to distribute videos right away, the best alternative option would be to take photos, print, then give away! Don’t you think?

I still have copies both printed and digitally of the photos taken at the wedding photo booth during my younger sister’s best friend’s wedding. There were serious shots, wacky ones, and really funny, too! I love looking at those photos as it reminded me of good times.

If you are getting married anytime soon, think of wedding photo booths. Capture special moments behind the wedding to remember and use the photos as a wedding favor as well. Great idea, don’t you think?

Some people choose someone to love base on the other person’s outer appearance. Some even shrug off another’s bad attitude just to have an eye candy by their side.

But you know, inner beauty is timeless. The skin will sag, everything outside a person will succumb to nature’s transformation. What’s inside a person, the true beauty and love there will never ever fade.

This is just a reminder for all of us to always look for a kind heart.

Happy Sunday!

Living a lie will complicate matters in your life. Yes, you can pretend to be someone else. Why not? You can lie to everyone but not to yourself. You know the truth. And you know what? No matter how many people believe in your lies, sooner or later things will fall apart.

Lies can do that to you, make you feel a shallow happiness but in the end you will be left with nothing but regrets.

Mr. Garrett used to play for a professional band. It was not a very popular one but their band would do the rounds of bars and hotel lounges so they were known in the circle. When a reunion of sorts took place in an old bar that was revived for the new crowd, Mr. Garrett was invited to play the fender select stratocaster hss and he was still the mean machine when it comes to electric guitars! The talent is still there.

He is now being invited to teach in the same bar on Saturday afternoons. One hour session every Saturday afternoon for those who want to learn from the best.

Mr. Garrett said yes and sessions will start this coming weekend.

As we grow older, we tend to realize that the people who come in and out of our lives were there for a reason. We don’t just meet them accidentally. There is a higher purpose for every person we encounter in our lives. One person can be sent to teach us a lesson, another can be in our lives to become a life-long companion.

There is always a reason behind every person we meet.

I believe in that.

Sara was supposed to join her cousins in their hiking. But since she broke her ankle when she slipped on the floor accidentally, she had no choice but to stay at home. Her cousins felt so guilty about pushing through with the hiking trip they thought of giving her a little something… they bought one of the cheap north face jackets for women they found online!

They brought it with them when they visited Sara after their trip. Sara was surprisingly in good spirits and was actually happy to hear their stories.

Of course, she was appreciative of the jacket they gave her. She promised to join them in their next hiking trip.
