I had a short conversation with my sister from Las Vegas this week. I am also happy to hear from her last time that she finally passed the NCLEX exam. Unlike with our youngest sister who is still waiting for her visa to enter the United States, she is now a U.S. nurse after passing the NCLEX exam last 2009 in Manila, Philippines. Since both of my sisters are license nurses now, I expect that they have some ideas about hospital computer carts at Howard-Medical.com. My sister from Las Vegas also told me that probably our youngest sister will obtain her visa either in the month of June or July. We keep on praying for that. I am happy for all the achievements of my sisters. I hope and pray that they will always be guided and be blessed to the right path. I always wish them all the best in life. Good luck to you all my dear sisters. I hope to see you soon this year.

I miss watching this show when I was in Las Vegas. Monty Python's Spamalot was formerly showed at Wynn Las Vegas. Monty Python's Spamalot is a musical comedy "lovingly ripped off from" the 1974 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This show has closed but I am glad that I was able to take a picture of it in Wynn Hotel, a luxury hotel and resort in Las Vegas Strip, Paradise, Nevada.

Monty Python's Spamalot had its last performance on July 18 2008. It was exactly 14 days when I left Las Vegas going back to Europe.

Valentines Day is fast approaching. I believed some of you out there are getting yourselves busy searching for gifts to your loveones. No need to have stress at all because you still have a lot of time looking for Valentines gifts. Maybe some of you are also searching for stainless steel necklaces for your husband or boyfriend. That is quite a good idea as presents.

I had the chance to go shopping at the Forum in Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. I always love walking around here and window shopping is one of my past time during two months vacation in Las Vegas. It was never a boring one. If you love branded items, you can see a lot at the Forum. I hope to be backed there again anytime this year. Wish me luck!

It is located on the South Side (located in the Armour Square community area), centered on Cermak and Wentworth Avenues. It is history that brought Chinese in this part of the United States of America.

Looking to escape the anti-Chinese violence that had broken out on the west coast, the first Chinese arrived in Chicago after 1869 when the First Transcontinental Railroad was completed. By the late 1800s, 25% of Chicago's approximately 600 Chinese residents settled along Clark Street between Van Buren and Harrison Avenues in Chicago's Loop.[3] In 1889, 16 Chinese-owned businesses were located along the two-block stretch, including eight grocery stores, two butcher shops and a restaurant. Faced with increasing rent prices, the Chinese living in this area began moving south to Armour Square in 1912. more here

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

Getting sick at this very difficult times of economic crisis is not really a good thing. Sometimes we have to worry where to get the money for hospitalization and for medications. I am very thankful that we have this so-called health insurance which is really helpful in times of emergencies like sickness and accidents.

More on that, it is good if we can also get cheap medications which are sometimes not included in the health insurance coverage especially if it is a private one. In the United States for example, you can get discount medications if you are a member of Walgreens Prescription Savings Club. For a cost of $35.00 a year, a family membership covers everyone in your immediate family, including a spouse, dependents 22 and younger and pets. For individuals, you can have for as low as $20.00. Why not join and receive discount prices on your prescriptions!

Here are more benefits included as a member of the Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens.

-You can get discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, nebulizers and diabetic supplies
-You would be happy to saves on more than 8,000 brand-name and all generic medications
-If you purchase Walgreens brand products and photofinishing services, you can also avail of bonuses

It is not easy travelling with little children especially if you are alone. It can be stressful and full of worries sometimes. I remember someone who keep on telling us before that she cannot take a vacation back home because her reason was that her daughter was still a baby. I also have another friend who went home for a vacation twice already despite having a baby boy of some months old. Thanks to the help of stroller travel systems, her travel was always easy and convenient.

Back to the story of the first mother I mentioned above. I heard from some acquaintances that she was telling the same story some years ago. Now that her daughter is already almost 8 years old, I believed she can already have a nice travel with that age. Someone mentioned to me that she cannot go home because of some financial consideration, not the reason about her daughter's age.

The lesson is, sometimes we just need to be straight and be honest. And if possible avoid pretending that we have when we don't have it, just to impress and make other people believe that we have. In short, just avoid pretending. Peace!

Fabulous Las Vegas! There are a lot of things to experience in this famous city of Nevada in the United States. One of the things you can do is hotel-hopping. With the different themes and architecture of the hotels in Las Vegas, you will surely feel that you also visit other countries.

Taking for example a visit to Luxor Las Vegas. This pyramid-shaped hotel is named after the city of Luxor in Egypt. It is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It is considered to be the third largest hotel in the world and the second largest in Las Vegas after MGM Grand Las Vegas.

The photo you see below is the lobby interior of Luxor. You can see an obelisk inside located at the middle part of the hotel's lobby.

I had a great time during my two months holiday in Las Vegas almost four years ago. Time passed-by so fast nowadays. I feel like I was only there last year.

What you do when you are in Vegas? For sure, there are a lot of things to do and experience when visiting the so-called "Gaming and Entertainment capital of the world". I often read that when you want to feel like visiting other places on earth, go to Las Vegas! With the many them hotels you will find there, you will surely feel like you are in different places like Egypt, Rome, Paris, Rio de Janiero and may more.

One of the best things you can also experience there is shopping. Oh yes, Las Vegas is the place to be when you want to go shopping. You can find all goods and products in this city from clothing to accessories, gadgets, electronics, equestrian helmets, jewelries, kitchenware, cars and many more! Just name it and Vegas has it all.

I remember one day when we went to Galleria at Sunset. I can't exactly remember the things I bought there. If you feel bored, window shopping in this mall can also cool you off. Las Vegas, I wish to see you again someday!

If I don't have a computer and internet at the moment, I might not be able to share my ideas, opinions and personal experiences online. With the advent of modern technology, communication has become faster and more efficient. Imagine sending emails and it will already reach the recipients in seconds or a minute. You can also have a video chat and can see live your friends or family who are thousand miles away from you and that is for free sometimes. Not only that with the help of a computer and internet, you can also watch movies and videos online like in Youtube, also for free.
