How are you guys? how's the weather there in your place here in MI, it's ok now, not hot but not cold either. The past weekend was kinda weird, freakin hot and sunny during the day and rains and thunderstorms at night, we even had tornado warning, you know, i can handle the storms because we had a lot of this in the Phils, but am not sure with the tornadosi'm really quite not so comfortable when there is tornado warning around our area. I am glad and thankful that we did not feel the storm that much 'coz hubby and I had a nice time at Brad and Tonya with a good BBQ dinner, and we still managed to go shopping, sunday pm  Anyway, I am just praying for those who were so affected by the past storms and tornados in other states here in midwest

and last 2 Tags from Joy

1.) BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH--

   I think this is the best tag everA Tag with a cause.Thanks Joy for sharing this and helping spread the word on the ‘Breast Cancer Awareness’ in the month of June. I always been supportive also on this kind of campaign.

• The first sign of breast cancer usually shows up on a woman's mammogram before it can be felt or any other symptoms are present.

• Risks for breast cancer include a family history, atypical hyperplasia, delaying pregnancy until after age 30 or never becoming pregnant, early menstruation (before age 12), late menopause (after age 55), current use or use in the last ten years of oral contraceptives, and daily consumption of alcohol.

• Early detection of breast cancer, through monthly breast self-exam and particularly yearly mammography after age 40, offers the best chance for survival.

• Ninety-six percent of women who find and treat breast cancer early will be cancer-free after five years.

• Over eighty percent of breast lumps are not cancerous, but benign such as fibrocystic breast disease.

• You are never too young to develop breast cancer! Breast Self-Exam should begin by the age of twenty.

You can help the lives of many women by spreading the word aboutThe Breast Cancer Site pink button as many times as you can. If The Breast Cancer Site receives 8 million clicks on the pink button in June, their premier sponsor -Bare Necessities- will donate $10,000 for more free mammograms. CLICK the pink button today!

    I think it's just perfect time to pay tribute to all the daddys/papas/tatays in the world coz it's dad's month this june or Father's day on Sunday, June 15 In my case, hubby and I do not have a child yet and hubby was never married nor had a child before(we're still on the process of making herehoping soon) so i guess, i will just have to brag about my papa 

  My father's name is Francisco Cabrera Viola. I remember him as a kind, loud, funny man(yes, he would dance and sing infront of us whenever he wanted to) a joker, and I think my father had the best PR i have ever known, you know, imagine him in a public where almost everybody knows him and he knows too, he's like a politician but nope, he's just a simple man who worked and retired at the Prov'l Capitol of Cam. Sur, and he would always tell us to be just in low profile, to keep our feet on the ground He worked hard to give us good future. He was the man behind why i got employed also at the Capitol. You know in the PI government, they say it's more of the "whom you know" than "what you know"(even you got credentials also) and people there kept asking me who's my backer, told them"no backer but my father"Maybe if he did not pass away early, i could have been achieved my masteral degree because when he was still alive he would insist and encourage me to take a masteral degree so that i could take a higher position at workbut i'm thinking, maybe if i pursued my masteral study and became busy, no time for internet, maybe i would not have met my hubbyI really believe, everything happens for a reasonanyway, wherever my papa is(in heaven), i know, he was and is proud of meand he knows i miss and love him

   I would like to give credits also to my dad in law, Mr. Paul Grismer, for his warm heart in welcoming or accepting me as his daughter in lawI'm really so glad and blessed to have him, and i guess i owe to him why i have a great husband, my Mark is a good man because he got awesome parents alsoand they are both so nice to me, i know they love me and i love them too nothing more i can say but THANKS SO MUCH 

 and so, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO MY DAD IN LAW, also to MY BROTHERS, MY BROTHERS IN LAW, UNCLES AND COUSINS, RELATIVES, FRIENDS and MY FRIENDS' HUSBANDS, AND TO ALL THE FATHERS OUT THEREMABUHAY AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL 

 

   whew! finally i'm doneI would like to pass this on to Avee, Elba, Kim, Joy, Joan, Kiscy, Marites, Junelle, Flor, and Venus You don't need to do all the tags, just select whatever you like and whenever you canThank you ladiesand also Thanks to all of you for hopping and readingGod bless
