Sigh, being away from the pc for just a couple of days gravely affect one's pagerank. I was stupid enough to get engrossed with a game whom hubby and I shared. Now, when I was about to do my homework and try to be as much as I want to get involved with my blog, I was shocked to see I again went down to one!
Okay, okay, I get it. Now I have to endure this rank for a couple of months till they update it again.

Obama and Health Care
It's all over the news! There's gonna be a revamp on Uncle Sam's health care. Some say it's absurd and some say it's okay.
As an observer, I really think that it's one of the most expensive expenses made here. Every month, you expend a part of your income to pay the bill on health insurance because if you do not have health insurance, I tell you, it can be very expensive.
I, for one, am is still looking over the options for health insurance, not for myself but for the kids. If you allow living here without that, a mere check up can cost A LOT. That I think is one of the reasons why Obama is trying to do something reasonable (or otherwise) to health care, since the number of people without the health insurance here is definitely rising.
As for the big changes, it still being lobbied, God knows when it's done, I hope it's for the people's benefit, not the other way around.

Sometimes, Someday
Sometimes,
no matter how secure you are in someone's arms,
no matter how tightly you hold on to the person's hand;
you'll still find yourself falling
dangerously in love with someone else.
========
Have you seen or read the book 'Bridges of Madison County'? Then maybe you know how it was.
What would you do if you find yourself, reliving again and again, those moments when both of walked along the beach, not even touching each other, but there's something about the way things are that's almost magical? When you find yourself sitting beside this person and both of you looking over the horizon, sighing, knowing that there's something - but you live in a world of complications.
I do wonder what is being asked, when he said what he said. But he was wise not to ask you to choose. There's a lot of questions hanging there, but he let it be. Wise enough for his years.
Still thinking, still in thoughts but wishing happiness through the winds. But the heart wanders where he is, and embracing the thoughts of yesterday.

Math tells us three of the saddest love stories.
Tangent lines who had one chance to meet
and then parted forever.
Parallel lines who were never meant to meet and
Asymptotes who can get closer and closer
but will never be together.

Wiki Clouds
Some beautiful looking clouds I saw in Wikipedia. Since I entered SkyWatch (although I was only able to submit one post), I've been on the lookout for unusual looking clouds and I really appreciate how imaginative cloud photography can be. I have had the privilege of capturing some clouds and I've put some of it in my photoblog!

When You Marry A Foreigner
A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl. Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well. One day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him. The lawyer said that getting a divorce would depend on the circumstances, and asked him the following questions:
Have you any grounds?
> Yes, one acre plus half and nice little home.
No, I mean what is the foundation of this case?
> It made of concrete.
I don't think you understand.Does either of you have a real grudge?
> No, we have carport, not need grudge.
I mean. What are your relations like?
> All my relations still in Poland , hers in Mitcheegun.
Is there any infidelity in your marriage?
> We have hi-fidelity stereo and good DVD player .
Does your wife beat you up?
> No, I always up before her.
Is your wife a nagger?
> No, she white.
Why do you want this divorce?
> She going to kill me.
What makes you think that?
> I got proof.
What kind of proof?
> She going to poison me.She buy a bottle at drugstore and put on shelf in bathroom.I read good. It say: 'Polish Remover'.
Moral Lesson? ......

A Dog Named Faith
This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born with 3 legs - 2 healthy hind legs and 1 abnormal front leg which need to be amputated. He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his mother did not want him.
His first owner also did not think that he can survive. Therefore, he was thinking of 'putting him to sleep'. By this time, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him. She is determined to teach and train this dog to walk by himself. Therefore she named him 'Faith'.
In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfing board to let him feel the movements. Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward for him to stand up and jump around. Even the other dog at home also helped to encourage him to walk. Amazingly, only after 6 months, like a miracle, Faith learned to balance on his 2 hind legs and jumped to move forward. After further training in the snow, he now can walk like a human being.
Faith loves to walk around now. No matter where he goes, he just attracts all the people around him. He is now becoming famous on the international scene. He has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows. There is even one book entitled 'With a little faith' being published about him. He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.
His present owner Jude Stringfellew has given up her teaching post and plans to take him around the world to preach that even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul'.
=========
In life there are always undesirable things. Perhaps one will feel better if one changes the point of view from another direction. Faith is the continual demonstration of the Strength of Life!!

Shows To Watch in Las Vegas
It's been sometime now since we've stayed here in Houston, and I've been wondering when will we go back to Las Vegas. There was a time that hubby went there with my grandmother and aunt and they had a good time staying in Bally (my grandmother got a free stay there - I don't know how she does that).
In our opinion, Las Vegas is what Uncle Sam is all about, beautiful and alive, one of the most beautiful places one earth with everything an individual can imagine a place could ever be. Hubby told me he wanted us to go back there and enjoy the sites and shows as a family. I can just imagine how the Las Vegas girls look like with their headdresses and their long limbs swinging in the air as they dance with the famous Las Vegas music.
I hope we can go there soon because the Las Vegas Shows that is airing there is the Phantom (from The Phantom of the Opera) which is one of my favorite of all times (I still remember the movie and I think it was aired as a series before) and I just love the mystery and the songs that came along with it. And, I still remember the charisma that this phantom guy has.
One other show that I wanted to see is the Cirque du Soleil which is said to take your breath away with their antics and stunts. And there's the Blue Man Group that which does not speak, but definitely amuses you (so to speak).
We'll be there soon. Just have to make the schedule available for all of us (it's summer you know!!!).
