Good Food and Good Friends: A Wonderful Combination!

My BA’s 16-day vacation here was filled with good food which made both of us gain weight. By the time he left to go home, my once-flat belly was bulging and my arms were bigger as compared to before he came. But no problem; 'tis nothing to fret about; if I keep gaining weight since my appetite has been good lately, I’ll just get myself a Kettlebell and problem solved.

We sampled so many different cuisines in the abundance of restaurants here in my city, but being a pasta lover which is just one of the many things that my BA and I have in common, we made sure that we shared pasta together though we never really planned what day it would be until that Saturday afternoon. And at that, it was a spur-of-the-moment thing. We were just hanging out in his hotel room when we thought of having a snack. We were too lazy to go out so he called room service and ordered a plate of pasta for each of us. I had Fettuccine Cream Sauce (mixture of Shiitake mushrooms, bacon and white sauce) and he had Linguini Alla Gambiriti (a mixture of shrimp, black olives, tomatoes, olive oil and basil). Both were delish as you can see in the pictures. I’m actually drooling now just staring at it. I wonder when will be the next time my BA and I will share pasta again. Yes, I am continually daydreaming of the time we'll be together again to share not only pasta, but our lives...(",)

An Odyssey to Paradise

That's what my BA called his trip here to meet me, an odyssey, and while here for 16 days he said he felt as if he was in paradise. And in three more days will mark the three-month anniversary of his touching down in my city for the first time after a 28 hour trip from halfway around the world, of which he spent over twenty hours in the air on planes. He set foot on our city’s soil on the 23rd of August, and the moment we first met is still very vivid to me. I went to his hotel to meet him, and seeing him for the first time at the lounge clad in his favorite rugged traveling attire with his Kipling backpack hanging over his right shoulder, I was filled with happiness. For sure, my eyes twinkled and glowed for I felt joy in seeing him for real.

Does it sound like I terribly miss him? Yes, I definitely do. Being in a long distance relationship is not at all easy but as they say, patience is a virtue and knowing that someone is waiting for me at the end of the road gives me hope and direction. I know we’ll be together soon, and I just have to hold on and believe that what we have is meant to be.

All About Beauty

Articles about beauty interests me and I think most women do. So when I saw the newest beauty handbook that mom bought, I checked it instantly. I haven't read the whole handbook yet, though, I know I'll be able to finish it in a day if I really want to. But anyway, here's one article that I wanted to share with you. It's definitely true so read on.

Beauty is not skin deep. It is a culmination of many factors - the way you look, how you carry yourself and also as to how important you feel.

Face is the index of the mind and reflects your inner thoughts. Depression, greed, contentment or happiness are eventually reflected through your face and body language.

Beauty can be defined as a quality which gives one pleasure on sight.

Nature may have been generous with her gifts, but have you enhanced your individual attraction. Beauty is not about your tiny waist or height or your hair - beauty and health are interwoven.

Nobody is perfect. There is no vanity in looking after yourself. A healthy diet and personal hygiene should be a part of your daily routine. A good posture, a radiant face and a confident approach attracts everyone.

An Accountant You Can Count On

Trustworthy, competent and diligent are just some of the qualities that people look for in regard to the accountants that they entrust their financial issues to. I am aware of that because that’s the qualities that we searched for when we started our business several years ago. Businesses revolve around money, the most important factor that determines whether a business will either be a success, thrive and survive, or go kaput and bankrupt.

Choosing the accountants who possess those qualities can be difficult, especially considering the number of accounting firms vying for your business. The secret to choosing the right one to entrust your money to is to find an established name that has a good reputation and gives genuine service to their clients. And one firm known for such qualities is the Las Vegas accounting firm, Kondler CPA. They have been trusted by many, the reason why they have become a respected leader in the financial accounting world. So don’t take any chances with your hard-earned money. Put it in the hands of those who will treat it as their own.
