Already for the last two days, Phuket is experiencing clouds and rain. Quite the miserable atmosphere, at least for me -- but the rain and bad weather is expected to stop around Friday.From the Phuket Gazette:Following heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours, the Meteorological Department of Thailand has warned of flooding and possible landslides in Phuket. Flood-risk areas include Thepkrasattri R

The 2002 Pelorus Vintage has sumptuous aromas that invoke thoughts of a baker’s kitchen - warm brioche and almond flan with lashings of strawberries and cream. The palate is powerful yet elegant with buttery shortbread flavours, a delicate orange tang and the merest hint of white mushroom - leading seamlessly into a very fine finish. The [...]

The pale straw colour and aromas of ripe citrus fruits indicate the chardonnay origins of Pelorus nv. A bouquet of apple and lemon complements fresh bready notes derived from two years bottle ageing on lees. The deliciously crisp palate displays toasty, creamy complexity, enhanced by a lingering nutty finish. Chardonnay and pinot noir grapes are sourced [...]

Finally, I was renewed today! I had a good night sleep and recovered myself from having lack of sleep for couple of days. My hubby was the one who took good care of our son, Josh, while I was taking my sleep last night. Well, now I am here again to write some opps while hubby was watching our son. Well, the good thing is, my son was all about dada, he loves beign with his dada all the time. I don't know why, probably a guy thing. Anyway, the weather here in our place is getting cold again, it seem like it's going to rain, the wind is somewhat freezing a little bit. Oh, I was planning pa naman for us to go out today to take some walks. Since we couldn't do it tomorrow because we will go to my sister in law's birthday, instead. Well, yes, it's eating time again! But this time, we will

Or more accurately in our house right now, I've got clouds on a sunshiney day.Immodest Mommy Moment:Sarah and Darren were both selected from the populous pool of kindergarters to participate in the school-wide production of Aladdin, Jr. (Oh yes, they had to pay big time for rights...)

IN THE NEWS: According to World Magazine, A man was robbing a KFC in Camas, Wash., when Mary Chamberlain, grandmother of 12, saw him making a getaway. Rather than phoning authorities, Chamberlain (67) started after him in her vehicle. After she chased him into a neighborhood, the man apparently ran into a yard and attempted to climb a fence. The retired woman jumped from her car and confronted the man. "I had my arm around his neck, and I was going to try and bring his arm up behind him. It looks easy on TV. Believe me, it's not." Well, I'm still struggling with my chapters. They're an absolute mess. So after this post, I'm going to devote the morning to working on them. But on a brighter note, I've been hanging out in the Coffee Time Romance forum and won a free Samhain book! I'm so excit

Most awaited movie Taare Zameen Par hopefully is a new way to see the children' world and give some fresh outlook to understand their problems. Aamir Khan did a great job in everywhere in the film it appears every moment when watching the movie whether it is direction or script writing. He takes his movie as a deep sense and that's for which Aamir Khan is known in the film industry. Taare Zameen

The weather has not been that great today, but I still did get to make a nice walk to causeaway. It was nice to get out of the city and just be more in the nature and closer to the ocean. I chatted for a short while with a finnish woman who was 65-70 years old and she was going to travel around in central and south america for half a year on her own! I did not have time to talk with her enough to hear her story and where she had found the courage to that at her age, but I have to say I do admire her.Today I am going to Contadora, and at least I will have a place to sleep in tonight. Hopefully also a couple of more nights, but that is a bit uncertain as everything seems to be very full now before christmas, but it will work itself out....hopefully ;)

Sometimes we just want a silly book to make us giggle. It is one of the best things about books. You can toss reality out the window and indulge in some hilarious fun. So when we’re in need of silly giggles I pull Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barret off the shelf. The title alone gets my oldest grinning from ear to ear, even on those cranky days when it seems nothing will do. Could you imagine living in a world where it rained meatballs? Or where it snowed mashed potatos? It is almost too weird to imagine! But that is half the fun, getting to imagine the truly odd for a while. Where else are you going to get to eat what the weather brings in? The artwork is colorful and funny, it blnds in perfectly with the feel of the story. Even when the weather gets bad the illustrations keep it lively. Sure being squashed by a giant pancake is no laughing matter, but how could you not giggle just a little? That is why Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is our choice for books that

The uncertain status of starter Brandon Jackson and injured Vernand Morency could lead the Packers to start either DeShawn Wynn or Ryan Grant on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Jackson sat out practice Thursday with a strained shin suffered Sunday against San Diego and could be a scratch depending on how he feels today. If Jackson can’t play, there’s a chance Grant could get the start ahead of Wynn. Reported by Tom Silverstein, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Due to a water shortage at the beginning of summer, we had to keep the same water in our pool from last year. We thought the right mixture of chemicals and chlorine would take care of the situation. But, much to our disappointment, the water never did clear up. It remained cloudy which was frustrating [...]

photo by illustriousbeanLately I have been feeling a little bummed out for really no apparent reason at all. I had a rough work day with excruciatingly long meetings and I know that the rest of the work week will require some extensive overtime. So I guess thats a reason. I got home and started cleaning my house but lost interest and energy after a little while. Now I feel really grumpy and can't really explain it.Maybe its the last days of summer flying past me with the heat thats causing me to feel so lazy and sad. Maybe its just a bad rut. But I can't really focus enough to write a really decent post so I just decided to write how I feel.I am starting to not like going to my church for the simple fact that everyone has children except me. So I sit there and all I can think about is how many people have babies and little children and why can't it be so easy for me? It makes me feel defected in a way. But I know I just need to put my trust in God and he will support me in my trials

"All leading climate models forecast that as the atmosphere warms there should be an increase in high- altitude cirrus clouds, which would amplify any warming caused by manmade greenhouse gases," Spencer says in a press release. "That amplification is a positive feedback. What we found in month-to-month fluctuations of the tropical climate system was a strongly negative feedback. As the tropical atmosphere warms, cirrus clouds decrease. That allows more infrared heat to escape from the atmosphere to outer space."

You might think I'm talking about the weather but no I'm referring to apple juice. Researchers have found that the cloudy kind of juice is four times healthier than the clear types. It seem the cloudy types contain four times the concentration of polyphenols as the clear and these compounds are associated with anti-cancer activity and are found in dark chocolate and red wine as well.The clear juice far outsells the cloudy varieties, likely because of the perception by consumers that the clear juices are more pure. This being far from the truth as the process of clarification to make the juice clear removes many of the compound's that provide the juice's health benefits. So next time you reach for the apple juice get more the apple in it and go cloudy.For more info on this great food check out this site on benefits of apple juice.Yours in health stretchguyp.s.don't miss our post on super food avocado.Tags: super foods, healthy diet, benefits of apple juicehttp://easystretch.blogsp

My daughter has been over yesterday and today we have soccer, so not a lot of reading for me (I'll get to you guys on the blog rolls later today) but I thought I would post this:Who knew? An old law shuts psychics Alerted to a forgotten state ban, Phila. authorities have closed at least 16 storefront fortune-tellers. One alleged discrimination. By David O'Reilly and Michael Vitez Inquirer Staff WritersPhiladelphia's fortune-tellers didn't see it coming. Suddenly they're facing a very unhappy future.

As you may have noticed, I made a wee change to my photoblog. I took the advice of my friend Otilius and made the post area larger so that I may have larger photos. I also decided to add frames to my photos from now on, I think they look better framed when on a light back ground. I had a little blank area up there in the corner.. I wasn't sure what to do with it. At first I was gonna use it for thumbnails of my favorite photo of the moment, but putting my renters there seemed like a cool idea (and a lot less work!).
