We got a chance to visit Dinosaur Barbecue last weekend. Packed as always but people would take chance because the food is awesome, voted as best barbecue in America and my personal opinion is that they deserve it well.

We opted for bbq chicken and chimichurri for our sauce on their sweetheart deal for two. Best deal I should say. It was sumptuous and I thought maybe I could make my own so I found a recipe that almost looks like going to have the same result as the one in Dinosaur. Source here.

• 3 whole(s) chickens, cut into serving pieces
• 1 1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly cracked black pepper
• 3 tablespoon(s) dried orange peel, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 tablespoon(s) chili powder
• 1 tablespoon(s) sea salt

Chimichurri Sauce

• 18 clove(s) garlic, chopped
• 9 bay leaves
• 3 poblano chilies, coarsely chopped, with seeds
• 3 serrano chilies, coarsely chopped, with seeds
• 1 1/2 tablespoon(s) sea salt
• 1 cup(s) finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 3/4 cup(s) finely chopped fresh oregano
• 3/4 cup(s) finely chopped fresh basil
• 3/4 cup(s) sherry vinegar
• 1 cup(s) olive oil

---

Directions

1. Rub chicken pieces with pepper. In a small bowl or cup, stir together orange peel, chili powder, and salt. Rub mixture evenly over chicken pieces. Let chicken stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill, or preheat a gas grill to high.
3. To make chimichurri sauce: Combine garlic, bay leaves, chilies, and salt in a mortar and grind with a pestle until a smooth paste forms. (If you don't have a mortar and pestle, put ingredients in a blender along with 1 teaspoon or so vinegar, and process until a paste forms.) Transfer to a bowl and stir in parsley, oregano, and basil. Whisk in vinegar and olive oil until well combined. Set aside at room temperature until serving. This sauce is best if used the day it is made, but you can cover and refrigerate it, and it will retain its fresh flavor and bright green color for 2 or 3 days.
4. Oil grill rack. Place chicken, skin side down, on rack, and grill, turning pieces occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until well browned on all sides and juices run clear when a thigh or drumstick is pierced. Arrange chicken on a platter and spoon chimichurri sauce on top.

Don't let your style stale on you!

The back to school style is a great way to re-invent ourselves from our old style. It is nice to have our own identity when it comes to dressing up. I love forever21, the styles are always up to date, the clothes always have a million varieties of clothes all the time and they have great style guides whether on the website or in the store. Today I shopped and they included in my bag a book of style guide that's really helpful if we don't have a lot of ideas on how to dress up in a wider variety.

They also have a blog that gives more detailed information about style.

Spend your night to see the O Cirque de Soleil and you'll surely have fun!

The past few days the weather has been great. It actually feels like summer now, finally. Some days it gets too hot and humid like the Philippines, ahhh. I miss staying in the Philippines for vacation but then I suppose I could wait til school is over. For now I could check and see if I could get Tickets to O Cirque Du Soleil in Las Vegas to have a little fun in the west.I would not mind seeing these shows, and also I haven't been in the west and this would be a great way to spend some of the fun-filled vacation, other than of course beach is always great but a little variety will add some more fun.

Hello, welcome back to school. In a few days I will have a non-stop 8 months of school, well, pretty much. Good news is, I'm ready.

Need an injury lawyer in Riverside County? I once hurt myself at work and thankfully, my employer has a great reputation for taking care of injured employees because of the nature of the job. Being that it is exposed to bio hazard so they provide great care to people. But Riverside County Attorney can help you if you injure yourself and the responsible people don't take the blame then you need Sweeney, Sweeney, and Sweeney to take care of it for you.

I came upon this news on the telegraph.co.uk regarding their new discovery of a plant in the Philippines.

"The plant produces spectacular traps which catch not only insects, but also rodents. It is remarkable that it remained undiscovered until the 21st century." says Stewart McPherson a botanist that discovered the plant.

I truly believe that the Philippines hold a vast of scattered lands rich with natural beauty and resources to a lot of possible finished products that by using them properly we do not need to import even our gas from other countries, agreed. People are so adamant and lacking of confidence on what they can do.

It was named after the broadcaster Sir David.

Single and lonely? why not try to visit christian chat rooms for people who are looking for sincere people who are seeking for the same? Many many years ago, online chatting was just for predators, which I believe as just a myth as well. Now, online dating holds a great percentage of relationships in the United States according to some surveys.

I think it's a great way to meet people in a very laid back situation, no pressure, no spending so much money on a dinner date or flowers right away when the couples are just trying to see if they can communicate well together.

I was waiting at the small room in the dental clinic where I was having my tooth extracted. So many thoughts were going through my mind, like I should have realized earlier that my tooth was getting bad, that I should have taken care of my teeth constantly and more religiously. But then it's of course easier said than done!
Here are some simple ways to keep our teeth in shape:

• A recommendation to brush your teeth at least two times per day, but preferably after each meal and snack.
• Instruction on the proper technique to brush your teeth (type of bristle, length of time, angle to hold the brush, how often the brush needs to be replaced, etc.)
• Daily flossing and/or use of an interdental cleaner (a device that cleans between the teeth)
• Regularly scheduled teeth cleaning
• Follow-up for any existing mouth or dental concerns
• Proper care of dental appliances, including retainers and dentures. SOURCE
  

I should think twice before I swim into a bowl of ice cream each time I crave for it. Last night after I almost thought I was sick again for eating too much ice cream, it gave me time to think of what I really want to do after I get my degree. So many things to do, paths to take and challenges to conquer. Fortunately, all the resources are almost within reach such as education, job opportunities (we must be very persistent on this) and unfaltering determination at ALL TIMES. With the industry I chose, it offers a wide variety of choices along the way. Although I am in accounting, finance jobs is always around the corner, everywhere. Then I stumbled upon Doug Kaplan who's a professional that has a variety of interests as well. I figured I could do the same or work for someone like him to be able to know how different things work. From computers to advertising to finance, gives us a limitless chances to succeed. I like his attitude and love for what he does. To learn more about his commitment, check out his website.

I am a little torn right now, I want to go right up to bed even thought it's still in the 80's outside to read my book. I like that I get back to the habit now instead of burning my time on facebook and literally waste my time! But then I need to finish some tasks before I doze off.

I was brushing off the juices off the fridge's crisper that came from the blueberries my husband keep buying. I mean, I personally think it's an excessive amount for just one kind of berry. We had some in our pancakes yesterday btw. Hate that I can't eat them, the tangy taste is not my thing. And today, the more I realized why I should shove those kinds of fruits in my throat. Here are the enormous benefits blueberries give us: SOURCE

Skin reviver

Soften up with this scrub from The Cliff House Resort and Spa in Ogunquit, Maine: Combine 2 cups brown sugar, 2 teaspoons puréed blueberries, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Blueberry’s antioxidants soften skin, lemon juice brightens, and sugar exfoliates.

Bladder aid

Blueberries, like cranberries, contain compounds that prevent bacteria from adhering to bladder walls, which helps ward off urinary-tract infections (UTI’s), according to a Rutgers University study. If you get UTI’s, toss a handful of blueberries into your a.m. smoothie.

Cancer blocker

Blueberries’ anthocyanins—which give them their blue hue—attack cancer-causing free radicals and can even block the growth of tumor cells, a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign study found. Eating just a half-cup a day (like in a slice of pie!) is all you need.

Brain food

To work smarter, pack dried-blueberry trail mix for a snack. A study from the University of Reading and the Peninsula Medical School in England suggests that blueberries reverse age-related memory loss, thanks to its abundance of antioxidants called flavonoids.

I better start liking blueberries now.

The best way to look for best webhosting sites would be to look for their ratings in just a glance through web hosting geeks. This is the smart way to see which of them provides the great service to consumers, such as the space they offer, traffic they bring into your website or business, it is important for the visibility on the net for people to see, and the comparison of price among the best ones. It is a very convenient way to compare what kind of web hosting sites would suit our industry well. If our business calls for certain kind of market such as computers, clothing, foods, electronics parts, these are just examples of different products that should be considered on choosing the right webhosting sites. That is why it is important to be able to compare them with each other and pick out the best one that would perfectly meet our needs.

Another thing that should be considered is the reviews of people, whom have used the services of different web hosting sites and could give feedback about their personal experience. The customer service quality should also be looked into, because we do not want to run into problems once we signed up on one we picked out and nobody to assist us.

For more information and new developments on what is going on you could also check out web hosting geeks blog. It is another helpful way to understand why it is good to compare and look for review first.

A lot of people's most inexpensive entertainment is watching TV. And by inexpensive we mean inexpensive. But then because the cable costs a lot of money, and with this economic downturn we have to cut back some services we can live without. So here is another way to save money, what I do now is Watch TV Online. Why not? It's like I am getting two in one, the internet and TV. It is legal and legitimate.

What is the setback of being bashful? Is that we have intellectual thoughts and plans but they dont become reality. I am shy myself but then there are things I'd like to do and I do not plan on spending my whole life thinking I could do something but I didnt do it. Career-wise most especially. I feel like my existence would me meaningful if I do the things I always visualize myself for. I found these helpful tips that I found myself applying some of them unconsciously. So, I am hoping I am on my way there. Still, I consider myself shy and lacking of confident. For people like me, take time to read this:

1. Have a game plan

Rather than wing it on the people part of your job search, have a game plan. Prepare for high-stakes interviews and events -- anticipating key questions and rehearsing your responses.

2. Communicate early and often

It's easy for introverts to be out of sight and out of mind. So, take the initiative

in sharing information with others -- communicating early and often with former bosses and co-workers, industry contacts and prospective employers. Don't wait to be asked for info or updates. Find out what people need or want to know and provide it to them ahead of time.

3. Match the medium to the message

Resist the temptation to hide behind the Internet. E-mail, for instance, may appear to be the easiest or safest channel, but it's not always the right one. For every exchange throughout your search, match the medium to the message – determining if e-mail, phone or face-to-face is best.

4. Use social networking to set the stage

Technology is a great tool for preparing to meet people in person. Use social networking Web sites, such as LinkedIn, Facebook and BrightFuse, to set the stage for connecting with others at get-togethers and special events. You can introduce yourself, find common ground and warm up cold leads -- all in a low-key yet friendly way.

5. Assert yourself

Assertiveness gets a bum rap. Often confused with aggressiveness, it is simply being open, honest, and direct -- asking for what you need and want. If you fail to assert yourself in your job search -- from staying in front of employers to seeking the salary you deserve -- you risk losing out on critical opportunities and facing disappointment and frustration.

6. Stand up to "talkers"

Don't be afraid to deal with chatty, extroverted interviewers. One simple, sure-fire strategy for getting a word in edgewise: find a momentary opening, paraphrase what you've heard and bridge to your own point.

7. Ask great questions

There is power in the questions you ask. In interviews, asking great questions can mean figuring out what's really important to potential employers. Two invaluable questions for the person who might be your future boss: "What keeps you up at night?" and "How will you measure success?"

8. Value humor

"A smile is the shortest distance between two people," mused entertainer Victor Borge. As a reserved, introverted job seeker, you can overcome perceptions of being standoffish or too serious by smiling, laughing and having a little fun. You need not "yuk it up" -- just be good-humored.

9. Be a storyteller

Stories put oomph into ideas and help engage and connect people. Make storytelling a part of your own style -- weaving real-life anecdotes and examples into interviews and conversations. Try using the "SAR" approach -- situation (What was the situation or challenge?), action (What steps did you take?) and result (What was the outcome?)

10. Brag on yourself

Introverts tend to stay mum about their accomplishments -- seeming to abide by the old Southern adage, "Don't brag on yourself." Yet today job searches are made or broken by what others know about a person's skills and potential. Bottom line? Sell yourself.

Finally: practice, practice, practice. Learning different skills and behaviors may be uncomfortable at first, but with conscious repetition and refinement, you can manage your introversion -- and succeed in your job search.

Last week, I tried my luck and went ahead to apply for a credit card even without any credit history. Meaning I didnt have any credit card before on my name. Today I got the reply, denied. Naturally. How the heck could a person have a credit history if he doesnt get approved to begin with? So, Im glad I came across this Payday Loan that will help me build my credit history and lend me money when I need it. It's very easy to get approved without a lot of requirements, approved in an hour. Get a $1,500 cash advance and use it to meet your your bills of the month.I know they get piled up endlessly that sometimes we cant keep up with them thats why there's the payday loan.

Is social network worth risking your job?
There has been many news and actual facts that occurred recently related to losing jobs of people that posted their opinions, bashing their employers, or simply speaking their minds through this revolutionary social network facebook. I must admit it is very addicting and tempting to say that sums up our day, whether good or bad. Unfortunately, most of the time people don't end their day beautifully all the time and it manifests on their facebook's portion where it asks: "Whats on your mind?"

Now these tips on "How to Lose Your Job on Facebook in 140 Words or Less" are the ways to avoid.

I remember a few years ago when I was having bad eye twitching or eyelid spasms. It's when your eyelid muscles voluntarily contract, it is annoying and disturbing at some point. I did not think it was that bad and I did not take it too seriously. Until I read an article about the same case that it could lead to some serious severe case. It is caused by vitamin deficiency, and if the case lingers it would need immediate attention. Eye twitch has solutions so do not wait too long! I am just glad mine didnt get too persistent and it stopped by itself.

I had about two weeks of agonizing pain with my broken tooth. Finally, today I got the wicked thing extracted. It cost me a staggering amount on my checking account. It's the cost of not having a dental insurance. But then, I have the choice to have my teeth take care of once a year when I vist the Philippines which is my only choice left so far. That is until I get a great company in the future that has dental insurance.


What I found out about tooth extraction here is that when the tooth is broken doctors put you to sleep. Ahh, makes me realize how obsolete the process in the Philippines is but I guess we get what we pay for, right? I'm just so glad the pain is gone forever now. ANd I guess I should take care of my teeth better now.
