The Fountains of Bellagio during my visit last 2008

This is one thing I miss in Las Vegas, the choreographed show of the Fountains of Bellagio. I can't imagine how many water hoses were built in it to do all the water dancing. I guess Bellagio hotel are also using fire hose adapters in its premises.

I had the pleasure to  watch this video many times during my two months stay in Las Vegas, Nevada last 2008. I just wish to visit it again and take videos and better  pictures of it. I am crossing my fingers to hopefully visit it this summer.

The Cloud in Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas

Visiting Las Vegas? Don't miss to visit the famous Fashion Show Mall there. I love walking inside this mall and do some window shopping inside. I can't find exactly what I was looking for that time, the Fedoras Hats. Good to know that I finally found it online.

Fashion Show Mall has a variety of named designers, U.S. retail chain stores, a large food court and several restaurants.

I hope to visit Las Vegas again this year and experience more things there.

I did not really  go inside  this shop located in Luxor Las Vegas. I just observed that most of its products are for kids. No wonder the Scarab Shop sells  gift items for  kids and children. I believed they have a business liability insurance for the security of their business. This Luxor's Kids shop is located  on the atrium level near the escalator that leads to the casino.

If you have children left at home, this can be a good place for you to buy gift items for them.

I had a great time gallivanting inside this luxury hotel. I wish to visit it again in the future.

This is one of the malls I love it Las Vegas, Nevada.  I always have a good time window shopping at the Forums Shops  in Caesars Palace in  Las Vegas Strip. I like especially going to the Victoria's  Secret  store, which I believed  using  a POS Hardware. Their stuffs  have reasonable and  I bought last time the ones that are on sale. I also gave it as presents for my family and friends back home.

I am hoping to visit Las Vegas and other parts of the United States this  year. I miss all the fun and escapades with the new friends I met there.

How I wish I can play golf in Las Vegas but I guess I can't still afford that game. I know that taking golf classes and buying personalized golf balls and equipments are quite expensive. I just want to know where we can play golf in Las Vegas. I know someone who teaches golf courses in Vegas. He is also the former colleague of my cousin in a band group where she used to sing before. They played in various hotels in Las Vegas.

It is said that Las Vegas has some of the finest championship courses in the world.The Shadow Creek, The Wynn Golf Club, Bali Hai, Badlands and more are among the best ones. if I win the lottery, I will surely take golf classes. The question is when?

Have a nice day everyone!

I was browsing some old photos from Las Vegas last weekend and I found out that I was still smaller the last time I visited the so-called "sin city" in 2008. I just can't hinder becoming bigger everyday since the time I was there. Now I am decided to really take away the excess pounds I gained from too much eating. I want to take something to lose weight but after knowing the side effects of diet pills, I guess I am opting not to take some anymore. There are still a lot of ways to get rid of excess weight. Some of it is avoid eating a lot and have proper exercise. Any more suggestions out there? Wish me luck to be slimmer and avoid getting bigger everyday.

When it gets dark, this is the time where the fun starts in Las Vegas. The city is known as "The Entertainment Capital of the World" and visiting it would surely bring you unforgettable experiences. It is a city that never sleep. But be careful to take some sleep when you are in Vegas, or else you will get exhausted and tired and will not enjoy your visit.

For me, Las Vegas looks fantastic especially during the night. You can see the different neon lights especially in Las Vegas Strip, the part of this city where most of the luxury hotels are located.

I always went around in Vegas during the night. I even did some night shopping when I was there. I was happy with the gift card sleeves that was given to me when I was there. Yes, the "Sin City" is a great place for those who love to shop. You will surely enjoy shopping there!

Here is an image I took one night when I was gallivanting around in Vegas. Such a nice scene!

I admire people who are working in Nursing Homes. During my vacation to the United States four years ago, I had the chance to visit one of the nursing homes in Las Vegas where my sister was working. There, you can see patients who are undergoing medical treatments of all kinds. I can see some patients sitting on medline wheelchairs due to their inability to walk. Thanks to the help of this modern equipments which make life easier and more convenient. My sister is now working in one of the hospitals in Las Vegas and I admired her for having that kind of work taking care of the sick people. Make the best sister and God bless you always.

Goodbye March! Hello April! We are finally on the second quarter of 2012. Are you fooled today? Don't you know that today is April's Fool's Day? I just smile when some of my friends in facebook sent me foolish messages today. It is All Fool's day anyway and I don't mind those foolish messages.

Anyway, I would only like to extend my best wishes and congratulations to some nieces, nephews and my friends' children who had their graduations in elementary, in high schools and in colleges lately. Some received medals, trophies and awards and I very sure that their parents and families were so proud about their achievements. To all of you, keep up the good jobs and good luck to all your future plans and undertakings. Once again congratulations!

This is one of my favorite books. I have some collections of travel books of the different places I visited. Right in front of me at the moment is a travel guide book about Spain. I am going out again today to visit some sights in Spain's capital city. I would love to be an ebook reader soon. I would love to buy one of those wireless ereader gadget when some budget is available. For now, I am quite broke with my almost three weeks stay in Spain. I am still doing fine and I love it here. Ti quiero mucho Espana!

I wish to add more of my travel books collection.

Being the "Entertainment Capital of the World", there are a lot of shows and entertainment of all sorts that you can see and experience in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is one thing I love in this city. I love especially watching almost every night the live band in Ballys hotel where my cousin was the lead singer. I am trying to remember if their band use paiste cymbals. Their group was great and I was always entertained everytime I watch it.

Other famous shows in Las Vegas also include the Jubilee, the Phantom, Celine Dion in Colosseum, the Peepshow, Disney on Ice and many other concerts and musical shows. Las Vegas is truly one of the best place to entertain yourselves!

I guess this is always my roll in life as a big sister to my younger siblings. They always ask for advices from me from time to time and I always try my best to give good advices to them. Last time, I was telling my sister to get an accident and private life or term insurance. I also told her to browse for quick life insurance online so that she will have an idea what is the best one for her. Sometimes insurances can be a good investment especially the term insurance because after a period of time, you can withdraw the money that you contributed. I also told another sister to continue paying her social security contribution. It is also a good form of investment for the future. I am happy that my sisters are always listening to my advices.

Could you imagine a desert that turned-out to be the "World's Entertainment Capital". Yes Las Vegas is a desert but it is fully developed now. You can find all sorts of gaming and entertainment in this city. It is a perfect destination for those who want to enjoy and have fun.

I remember we were driving on Las Vegas streets and it was really good. The roads are wide and you can see palm trees along it. It is good to use zero gravity windscreens when you are driving there with your bikes or motorcycles. I also loved watching the snow-capped mountains when driving around.

I have an international driver's license that time but I never really drive when I was there. It was my sister or my brother-in-law who was actually driving. The next I visit there, I wish to go a bit farther to those snow-capped mountains. Hopefully in summer this year.

This image was taken during my vacation in Las Vegas last 2008.

Spring is almost coming! The weather is getting better today. I heard over the radio that we had around 18 degrees Celsius temperature today. I did not even wear a thick winter jacket when I went outside. I just found out that my car was not in our garage this morning. Someone's car did not started today. He said that he used my car because his car's battery were exhausted. No wonder he let the blinker and the light on overnight, the reason why the battery got empty. I ended up staying at home the whole day doing household chores. I should go grocery shopping today but I can't afford to walk 30 kilometers back and forth with all those grocery items. I should also go to a hardware to ask about ball joint. I might go for a grocery shopping tomorrow afternoon after our escapade in the morning.

I guess that is all for now. I wish everyone a wonderful month of March. Take care folks!

It is almost four years now since my last visit in Las Vegas. It seems like yesterday when I was there. It was so far one of the most interesting and memorable vacations I had. I always remember the fun I had in Vegas especially when I go with my cousin whose band performs in Ballys. They have a good band lead by Jonathan. Their guitar men also perform great. I forgot to ask if they are using fernandes electric guitars. Oh well, I might be visiting again Las Vegas this year. I will for sure go gallivanting and jamming again in Las Vegas Strips. You can watch different bands playing in every hotels.

The memories at Fremont Street Experience is one thing that I also miss in Las Vegas. With their huge LED display canopy, you can watch the bands singing in FSE. Las Vegas is truly fabulous! See you soon Vegas!

I should be attending the wedding ceremony of my sister last July 2007 in Las Vegas. Since I was not granted a visa to visit United States, I was not able to attend it. The representative who interviewed me in the U.S. embassy in Munich told me that they cannot grant me a visa because I am jobless and I might not be able to support my stay in Las Vegas. Despite the letter of invitation sent to me by my brother in law and the promise that they will handle and support all the expenses for my stay in the U.S., I was still not granted a visa. This is the advantage of being a third class citizen like what they say. Due to that, I was not able to give the personalized wedding gifts for my sister and her hubby for their wedding. I also don't want to ship it that time because I am afraid that it will get broken in transit.

It is almost five years now since my sister's wedding. I am happy that I was able to visit her for two months last 2008. After becoming a first class citizen when I got my German citizenship last December 2007, I was able to finally enter the United States last 2008 without any hassle at all. I hope to visit U.S. again this year to see my sisters and yes, to attend another wedding.

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.

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 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!

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!
