Yeah, I have been really missing in action. Could not even remember my password for my blogger account. Not even sure if I should keep my blog. Oh well, we will see. I have been extremely busy and lazy. Busy with work at work and house work at home. What can I say?
I will try my best to pop in once in awhile and probably jot a thing or two here next time.
It's FRIDAY.... :). Thank God it's Friday!
My son is on a long school vacation and is extremely bored at home. We just got back from South Carolina for a week vacation at Myrtle beach. It was awesome but it was also super hot. The heat index in SC, never goes down below 88F...but it was worst in Indiana...it's always in the high 90's. Gosh, I am ready for autumn or spring. Winter and Summer are the worst time of the year.
Oh well, that's my short current happenings right now. Will add more soon. See ya........

MIA
Yeah, I know it has been months that I have not been updating my blog. I have been busy with my new job and with such undesirable hours I hardly have much time for anything at all except for the daily necessities that needs to be taken care of. The house is in shambles and the regular dusting and scrubbing are always a week behind :(. I am sure those working moms do agree with me that being a working mom with young kid/s and a house to take care of is hard work...especially those having to go thru' night shifts like me. I used to enjoy those 8+ hours of sleep while being a stay at-home mom but now it would be a miracle if I can even get 5 hours! Oh well, this tough economic downturn is making it harder for everyone but I think I am the lucky ones with a 'not too' bad paying job which I kinda enjoy at times :). I will definitely be back here checking and updating important happenings and wishing everyone a VERY HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Back in the USA!
We are home! Yes, we are home, but we are not really healthy yet. Ramzi and I, we have been sickly ever since we arrived in Evansville. We had fever, cough and of course jet-lag. Ramzi is almost back on his normal sleep pattern and enjoying life back home, but still missing his cousins and friends in Miri. Tomorrow, Ramzi will be going back to school after a long summer vacation and he will be in 1st grade... :). How exciting is that? lol. Last weekend, we went shopping for his school stuff at Wal-Mart, and this evening we will be meeting his teacher and inspect his new classroom. As for mommy, I will be busy scouting for a job! Hopefully, I will find something out there.........

Oakland City Golf Club
My father in-law drove us to Oakland City Golf Club to watch fireworks, and unfortunately most of the fireworks picture that I took were really blurry and was not that good. During the early part of the evening, I took some pictures while we were waiting for the show to start.
Ramzi & Pawpaw went to get the golf cart
All happy because he got to mess around with the golf cart!
One beautiful lake at the golf course
Buck and Connie came to watch the fireworks too.

The King is dead!
Article extracted from: http://www.drudgereport.com/default.htm?sc=0.27787402483681694
Jackson -- who most famously lived in Santa Barbara County at his Neverland Ranch, named for the island where Peter Pan and the Lost Boys were in no danger of growing up -- had taken up residence in a seven-bedroom estate in Holmby Hills, which he was renting for $100,000 a month.He had come to Los Angeles to rehearse for 50 sold-out concerts at London's O2 Arena, a run of shows that was scheduled to kick off July 13 and had been dubbed "This Is It." The concerts were to have been the start of an ambitious career revival designed to begin wiping out Jackson's staggering debt -- he owed at least $400 million and would have earned $1 million a night -- and return the singer to cultural relevancy.Jackson's backers envisioned the London appearances as an audition of sorts for a reboot that would go on to include a world tour, movies, a Graceland-like museum, new music and revues in Macau and Las Vegas.Those close to Jackson have said he had been working diligently to get in shape for his comeback. A year ago, he was gaunt and used a wheelchair, but recently he'd been exercising with a trainer in addition to daylong rehearsals with dancers half his age.Kenny Ortega, the force behind "High School Musical" and "Dirty Dancing," was brought on as the concerts' director. Jackson was consumed with the project, Ortega said, personally approving every costume and every bit of choreography. Jackson was also thrilled by the notion of keeping the details of the tour secret."He was so in love with this project," Ortega said. "When I looked into his eyes, they looked great. . . . Michael was sincerely happy."Rehearsals were to wrap up early next week. Ortega was leading one of the final rehearsals Thursday afternoon when he received a phone call confirming Jackson's death, which he then revealed to the tour performers."People fell to their knees," he said.Johnny Caswell, a principal at Centerstaging, the Burbank soundstage where Jackson had been rehearsing, watched many of the run-throughs and said he was "absolutely shocked" by the performer's death. Jackson, he said, was "very frail" but approached the rehearsals -- including one the night before his death that witnesses at Staples Center called triumphant -- with boundless energy. "He was working hard," Caswell said.In order for promoters to get insurance for the London shows, Jackson underwent a four-hour physical with an independent doctor this spring. Randy Phillips, the chief executive of AEG Live, the promoter, said the medical screening uncovered "no issues whatsoever."Word of Jackson's death ricocheted around the nation. In Gary, Ind., outside his modest childhood home, fans formed a prayer circle. In New York, fans moonwalked outside the legendary Apollo Theater, where Jackson performed when he was 9. According to the Associated Press, so many people tried to verify Jackson's death that Google's computers interpreted the simultaneous searches for "Michael Jackson" as an automated attack.As the night wore on Thursday, authorities pleaded with fans and onlookers to avoid UCLA Medical Center, to no avail. A large crowd, including some people wearing costumes similar to Jackson's performance outfits, gathered. Across the street, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house blasted Jackson's music. A group of young girls sobbed, blocking an emergency room driveway until police ushered them aside.The crowd continued to swell as authorities flew Jackson's body from the hospital to the nearby coroner's office by helicopter -- an event that was televised live."Michael lived a tortured life," said Tommy Mottola, who oversaw Jackson's career for 16 years as head of Sony Music. "With his successes came all the pressures. . . . Imagine living with that stress on a minute-to-minute, day-by-day basis. And that's going on in life from the age of 5 or 6 to 50. It's almost shocking he made it through this long."Jackson's comeback, Mottola said, represented "a very important platform for him to bridge the old and new." But Jackson also needed the comeback to reverse the damage done by years of excessive spending and little work. He has not toured since 1997 or released a new album since 2001, but he has continued to live like a megastar.
