Happy Thanksgiving Day!

"For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends."
R. W. Emerson

Most of all, thank you Lord for the gift of life that brought us here.
There are just so many things in life that we must be thankful of.

Have a blessed and memorable Thanksgiving celebration to everyone.

Kawasan Falls, Badian, Cebu province, Philippines.

A Million in Ballys


Imagine seeing a million dollar monies? Have you seen one already? I am not very sure if this million dollar bills I saw in Ballys Hotel in Las Vegas Strip are all real. Any idea out there? I guess if you win the jackpot in Ballys casino, you will have this amount. What a big money which is too much to buy an md clear. I remember my cousin who is always lucky when she plays casino. She treated us for a free dinner in Caesars palace that time.

Here is the image I took of that million dollar monies in the entrance of Ballys Hotel in Las Vegas last 2008. I wish to visit this city again in the future.

Lastly, I would like to greet all American friends a very happy and blessed clebration of Thanksgiving Day!

Happy Thanksgiving To All!!

I would like to extend my greetings to all friends especially to all Americans who are celebrating this very special occasion today!! Happy Thanksgiving Day!!

Here is a little info about Thanksgiving in the United States..

Most people celebrate by gathering at home with family or friends for a holiday feast. Though the holiday's origins can be traced to harvest festivals which have been celebrated in many cultures since ancient times, the American holiday has religious undertones related to the deliverance of the English settlers by Native Americans after the brutal winter at Plymouth, Massachusetts.

The period from Thanksgiving Day to New Year's Day often is called the holiday season.

What is Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, also known as Thanksgiving Day, is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. It is primarily a North American holiday which has generally become a national secular holiday with religious origins.

The dates and whereabouts of the first Thanksgiving celebration are a topic of modest contention. Though the earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida, the traditional "first Thanksgiving" is venerated as having occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621.

Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members.
