How glad I see this picture which reflects the nature of happiness. I am very much in good health whenever I see this picture because it reminds me of the good times and the most memorable times in my life which keeps me smiling. I hope that I will forever see the real meaning of happiness in each faces and the things that I have encountered.Wednesday, September 29, 2010
There are lots of new shows expected to hit this fall's tv lineup. I'm anxious to see Boardwalk Empire premiering on HBO. This is guaranteed to be the biggest thing since Sopranos.
Boardwalk Empire is similar to Sopranos in that it's based on the lives of gangsters. Of course, that means there are guns, girls, blood and, I'm sure, lots of foul language. But, this series is set in a different era. Boardwalk Empire takes us to Atlantic City during the 1920s. So for those of us who love a good gangster film, this show highlights where the Tony Montana's (Scarface) of our time come from.
Fresh out of World War, the country was looking for change and opportunity. As with any gangster looking to flip his luck, so were the likes of 'Nucky Johnson', the Boss, (Steve Buscemi) and 'Chalky White', leader of the African American community, (Michael K. Williams). Their hustle didn't include drugs (drugs had not yet evolved); these gangsters peddled booze that caused turf wars and murder.
The cast also includes Michael Pitt as 'Jimmy Darmody', World War I veteran and Nucky's protege, along with Kelly Macdonald portraying an Irish immigrant named 'Margaret Schroeder'.
Personally, I can't wait! On September 19, my satellite tv through TV By Direct.com will be tuned in to the new fall tv show Boardwalk Empire complete with popcorn and cream soda (for nostalgia's sake)! I hope you'll be watching.

Since I was a very little girl, my favorite superhero has been Wonder Woman. I remember being five years old and wishing I could be like her. Zooming around the world in her silent invisible airplane, saving humanity from tyrannical villains and natural disasters, Wonder Woman was my personal role model. She insisted that every girl could be a wonder woman once she realized the true power of women. In the 1950s, with most of the TV and comic book world chock-full of male heroes and women relegated to the supporting cast, this was pretty heady stuff!
Wonder Woman was created in 1940 by William Moulton Marston, a psychologist who believed women were superior to men. He wanted to see a female superhero who was active and fearless but would ultimately conquer evil with love. Marston based the character's personality partly on his wife Elizabeth and partly on his friend Olive Byrne, whose beautiful silver bracelets would be seen deflecting bullets in the pages of Sensation Comics beginning in October 1941.
Since then, Wonder Woman has always been around in some form. Even when she temporarily lost her powers in the 1970s she learned martial arts and went right on fighting for the rights of women. As a member of the Justice League of America, she's starred in a number of great cartoons. I like to watch her in "The Justice League Unlimited" on Cartoon Network via directv arabic channels.
Whenever the world presses me with lots of unhappiness, I always look back to God.Just like today, I felt like I am carrying the weigh of the world in my shoulder. That is why, I am very much in doubt right now on what to do but there is a sure way that lights my path and I know that the Lord is always there for me.
I love Christ and I know He is making the best of life for me and for the people in the world as well.
I know in Him I can see the light.

I never thought I could love a tv show more than I love Seinfeld, but The Office may just be up there. From the quirky, way way way way over the top characters and the little bits they do at the beginning and end of the show, this show just keeps me laughing non stop.
Most fans started watching the show because of Steve Carrell's (who plays Regional Manager Michael Scott) work on the movie, the 40 year old version. To be honest, I only first started watching it because I thought Jenna Fischer (Pam Beesly) was hot - Fischer guest starred for an episode of That 70's Show as Stephanie Wanamaker. But I ended up enjoying the show for it's awkward humor. I've actually grown most fond of the side characters.
Thanks to some of the best cable tv deals, I've DVR'd all my favorite episodes. Most of my favorite parts involve scenes with one of the biggest side characters, Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson). I especially enjoy his relationship with the protagonist, Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) - especially b/c they are somewhat rivals who outwardly protest their dislike one another, but have some of the most memorable scenes of friendship in the show like when Dwight quits (the other one where Dwight's first love interest chooses another co-worker, Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) and Jim consoles him on the stairwell. I laughed when Dwight (who had been looking away in tears) turns to hug Jim and he's already left).
Having a Chevrolet Silverado car helps me to transport to places where I could have not been. I realize that in order to fully bliss and enjoy everything in life, there is always a sole need to secure one with everyone's passion, cars.
I am an addict traveler and when I go to places, I always go with me my most precious thing in this world, of course, my Chevrolet Silverado. In fact, it can travel everywhere I want to go. It is with me all through the days of my life. The only main thing that captures its worth is the thing when it will not activate because of its retiring pace. But in spite of this, I am very thankful to Dallas auto repair for taking care of my precious car.
My car always have this problem with brakes. Good thing that one tops the service of this car service company is securing its brake job with the satisfying guarantee to all car users which is of course, worthwhile.
For me, being on the go for everything, it is best that all things come in real order and well peace. Now I don't really worry where to seek help because I have all with me my car.

That is why, I know pretty well that in order to capture memorable event in life, I need to surprisingly send my family in the Philippines Christmas letters ahead of time so that it will reach their destination on the exact of December.
The-missing-them-so-much feeling is deeply a miss and so I need to be with them through a letter. Though with today's technology, it is thus quick to send them greetings online but it is much better and needed that through letters I will be able to tell them that I really care for them.
Now I don't have all the reasons that I would have to miss this Christmas because I have got all what I need right here.
I really miss the Philippines especially as well that I miss my family and my sister Arleen. She is my closed sister. She is there for me and she will always be my friend. Those times that I was there in the Philippines, we really spend time shopping and have our favorite sport, tennis.
I love her and I miss her so much.
