THIS YEAR MARKS MY 40TH YEAR IN AMERICA
In 1968, our family migrated to America. Our ship, the Santa Maria, sailed across the Atlantic ocean during a horrible storm. I'm told we were on the tip of a cyclone. Though I was only three years old, I remember my crib moving from one end of the cabin to the other. Everyone was sea sick but my...

HOW MANY BLOGGERS FEEL SORRY FOR THEMSELVES?
There's a human condition that's worse than any event or challenge a human being will face. That condition is one where a person feels sorry for themselves and wants everyone around them to feel sorry for them, too. Self-pity is ugly. We have all experienced it at one time or another, but those...

CAN YOU LEAVE A NICE COMMENT EVEN IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THE BLOGGER'S POST?
Sometimes it's tough to comment on certain posts because you disagree with what an author says. When I find this consistency post after post, I admit, I don't comment. Other times, I try my hardest to come out with a nice comment to compliment the author's research, thoughts and conclusions, though...

WHY IS ARIALA BLOGGING AFTER SBK LASER EYE SURGERY?
Because I can. Yes, today I had Sub-Bowman's Keratomileusis (SBK) laser surgery. My eye is still blurry and will be until it wakes up...that's the main thing you feel after such a surgery. It also feels like I have an eye lash stuck in my eye, another normal sensation after this procedure. I have to...

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE PAID TO MAKE A WISH EVERY TIME YOU MAKE ONE?
It seems there's a website that's willing to give you a chance to make a wish and let others vote for your wish to win. If you win, you can be granted between $5 and $5,000. I kid you not. It's free to make a wish that might get you $5.00, every other wish over the $5.00 has a cost. Still, if you're...

ARE YOU A CLOCK WATCHER?
One thing I've come to notice lately is that time seems to stretch for me. That is to say that one hour seems like two. I'm still busy, but time has slowed down a bit. How is that possible? Our perception of time can possibly effect how fast it passes. I'm very time conscious. I'm one of those...

GOING OUT WITH MY BROTHERS AND DAD

Plus, my two brothers together can be quite hilarious. The first time Alien V.S Predator came out in 2004, we caught...

OKAY, TELL ME AGAIN WHY I WAITED SO LONG TO GET A BLACKBERRY?
For Christmas, I splurged and bought myself and Mr. Ariala new cell phones. The splurge was basically free. LOL I bought a team mobile Dash for myself and a Blast for hubby. It's his first cell phone and boy was he surprised! This is a picture of the Dash, normally $345! I went to Wire Fly and found...

SNOW, SNOW AND MORE SNOW
I'm glad I'm home today as the snow keeps on falling. We got over two inches last night and it's still coming down at a steady pace. It's the fluffy, wet kind of snow that's good for making snowmen. Later today I'll take a picture of my pine tree that is bending down in awe at the snow...as I sit...
