Online Journey

I admit, i am really a mama's boy. I grew up being so close to my mom and i really know her from head to know. Sometimes i ask some advices fro her. Whenever i'm down, she's always there to comfort me and whenever i'm in trouble, she's there to guide me. I just love her so much and it will not be a big surprise if i grow up to be like her to my kids.

You Are Totally Like Your Mom

You and your mom are practically clones. You think alike, and you even seem to read each other's minds. And while you get along well now, you probably fought when you were a teenager. You're definitely you're mother's child... and that's just fine with you.

Are You Like Your Mom?

Hi everyone! Today, I will share some cool photos of our family, a brief history and other interesting facts about Coyne family! Let’s start with my grandparents.

This is my Grandpa Milton and my Granma Ruby. I never met them in person but we always keep in touch via phone. They are permanently residing on Oklahoma and some of our relatives too.

This is my Dad (right) with my Uncle James. They are very close to each other.

This is my loving and caring Mom. She really doesn’t taking photos of her and i am lucky to find this one in one of my photo album.

This is my younger brother Melvin. He is a certified fashionista and he is so creative too.

This is my one and only sister, Mira. She’s very cool and fun to be with,

This is me and my youngest brother, Milzon. We are very close to each other.

These are my Uncles from Oklahoma.
Isn’t so nice to save these kinds of photographs? Just like what they say, photographs do not just capture the images but also save the memories. Good thing that there are now plenty of ways to store your photos. Aside from ordinary photo albums, you can now store it online using some social networking sites. And you know what? I am very thankful to these social networking sites for allowing us to meet some of my relatives abroad. Actually, i am planning to create a website just for our family where in i am going to store and post all the photos and share it to everyone. In fact, there is free family website available to everyone. You can upload your photos, videos, music, and other files and display it on a site. Isn’t fun to create a website intended to share info and photos of your family?

PS; Before i forgot, Snoopy is a part of our family too. LOL

My Uncle has a food business. He usually sells fresh vegetables like cabbage, eggplants, tomatoes, potatoes, some legumes and a whole lot more. He once shared his experiences in managing and handling this kind of food business. According to him, managing a vegetable business is not an easy task knowing that vegetables do not last for a long period of time. Meaning to say, it is, somehow, risky. Price of each vegetable varies depending on the situation. It is a case to case basis. The price of each vegetable gets higher if there is a calamity that highly affects agricultural products. The transportation expenses are also one of the major factors that cause higher product prices. In my Uncle’s case, he bought his own truck so it will be convenient for him and for the customer’s part too. It will be easy for him to lower down the prices of his goods since he’s not paying for any transportation expenses. He also makes sure that his dealer truck is insured so he will not have any problem in the near future. Good thing, we can now apply for insurances online and another good thing is that, there are site that offer cheap and very affordable HVG insurance which is perfect for my Uncle’s dealer truck.

My sister is a member of Cheer leading Squad and we are very proud of her. But one time, she told me that she’s having a hard time doing some tricks that requires her to jump high. She’s blaming her self for being a short-legged. It seems that she is very frustrated at that time and how I wish I can help her out with her problem. Fortunately, while I was searching over the net, I found a site that offers training programs that will help an individual to jump higher. This really took my attention and I found it very interesting knowing that their training was proven effective. My sister would be very happy if I tell her something about this. This will surely motivate her to continue her passion in cheer leading.

Relationship is one of the most important things that we have to prioritize in life. A good Relationship is very important in order to establish a good communication for both of you and your partner as a couple. Did you know that there are such things like relationships laws? This is what i discovered after reading a very informative article from Arina's Self Help Blog.
The Law of Responsibility is one of the ten Relationship Laws that was mentioned in the said article stating that in every relationship follows a commitment or responsibility. Both you and your partner are responsible to build a stronger foundation for your relationship to make it last forever. This is just one of the inspiring lesson i have learned from that article. If you want to know more about the rest of the important relationship laws, simply visit Arina at http://www.arinanikitina.com.

My mom loves to cook different kind of dishes. Oriental dishes are her specialty. I love her Kung Pao chicken, it’s a classic Chinese dish that my mom loves to prepare. She mixed diced chicken in a marinated sauce, seasoned it with chili peppers and wok! She stir fried the chicken along with the vegetables and peanuts. She’s also pour a little amount of Shaoxing wine to enhance the flavor of her dish. Aside from this classic Chinese dish, my mom usually prepares some stir friend noodles and yummy wonton dumplings! I just love her wonton dumpling as she filled it with minced pork or shrimp and oysters! And then I will dip my mom’s prepared dip sauce! Oh and before I forgot anything else! I also love her Congee that she usually served as our said dish!
However, these Chinese dishes are not that easy to prepare because you have to gather all the necessary ingredients which are really hard to find. That’s why my mom and I were very thankful that we found EfoodDepot.com. It is an online grocery shopping site where you can find over 10,000 various ethnic food products. They provide Fast Shipping, Free shipping on orders over $75.00, and has a flat rate shipping of $4.99. It is the largest ethnic super market online with lists over 4000 recipes for various food dishes. They offer hard to find food products such as, snacks, sauces, spices, cooking mixes, sweets, cookies, beverages, etc and they even provide some cooking videos on how to make yummy dishes! Amazing!

We can do a lot of stuff using the internet. Internet makes our world easier. Most of my relatives keep on sending me e-mails, e-greetings and e-cards but for me I still prefer to send someone a personalized card, a post card or a note card. For me, sending someone a card means you are sincere and it also shows that the message which was included in your card comes truly from the bottom of your heart.
In my case, I am separated to my parents because of my work. We’re still keeping in-touch with each other through online chat and e-mails. However, even though I can send them personal messages through chat and send them e-mails anytime I want, I still spend a time to go to the nearest post office and send them note cards. I am comfortable doing it because I know that they will appreciate my cards and letters more than those electronic mails.
Luckily, I just found Note Card Artist, a site that offers great and premium note cards. These amazing note cards are created by an independent artist named Fletcher Boland. Most of his creations are focusing a lot in showing the natural beauty of the world. Fletcher Boland will prove to you that photographs don’t just capture the images but it also captured the beauty and the memories lying within.


Just like these beautiful Cape Cod Note Cards showing the natural beauty of the coastal landscape found in Massachusetts which is also a very popular tourist spot.
These note cards are very incomparable to emails or e-cards because a small card like this will show how much you love the person who will receive it!

My family and I decided to have some rest and spend our time in our town house. It is a perfect place to relax because the house is surrounded by trees, fresh air, and far away from the city. My younger brother loves to go out of town because his very excited to build his own tent and build his own camp site. We usually have some bonding to each other. We spend our time outside the house, doing some fun activities, building our own tent, making a camp fire, sharing some stories and a whole lot more!
Of course, before we go, we make sure that everything is set and we have all the things that we need like the camping equipments and foods.

Yesterday, when I was online, I found a site that offers cute and colorful nap mat. I found it really interesting and I know it would be perfect for my little brother. I’m sure it will add more fun and excitement to his camping adventure.

It would be much greater if he would bring this stephen joseph quilted backpack with him so he can place some of his things inside.


Or maybe he would love this easy to clean adorable stephen joseph backpack. I’m sure we’ll gonna have the best camping adventure this month!

Internet is considered as one of the greatest product of the advanced technology. Nowadays, we can almost do everything with the internet; some used it for business purposes while others make use of it for games and other related stuffs. Internet can also be a great way to communicate with other people via emails or online chat.
I’m fond of online chat, which is my only way to keep in touch with some of my relatives and friends residing abroad.
Chat is also a great way to meet other people all over the world. It’s true that Internet really makes the world smaller. Speaking of meeting other people online, GlobalChatForums is an online discussion forum where you can meet other people online and will let you discuss everything. You can share out your interests like sports, current events, politics, religion, health, love and relationship and a whole lot more!
By joining their chat forum, you can start making friends with other people. I will also encourage my friends to join!

I just attended my cousin's Folk Dance Presentation. They're celebrating their school's foundation day. Every students are assigned to perform on stage. My cousin and his classmates decided to have a Folk Dance presentation

They dance and wear like an Aetas.

I really enjoyed watching them, especially the "Tinikling" part. Tinikling is a traditional filipino dance

As a part of their celebration, they gather some donations from all of us to help the victims of Typhoon Ondoy.

My auntie is working abroad. She is currently staying in Germany together with her Fiancé. I know that sooner or later after they got married, my auntie will live there permanently. I am very close to my Auntie that is why I always make sure that we are still keeping in touch either via phone or via chat. I just talked to her yesterday while we are both online. She shared me a lot of thing about her life and how she was able to manage herself and learned how to get used with the German way of living. Aside from sharing out her journey in Germany, she also shared some of her stuffs especially her brand new shoes. I know how my auntie really loved shoes. She’s very crazy about it that’s why it’s very common for me to hear something about shoes from her every time we talk. While we’re chatting, I have noticed that she’s adapting some of the German terms. I remember that she mentioned “Schuhe” which stands for “shoes” and “Stiefel” which is a German term for boots. She told me that her Fiancé gave her a pair of Timberland Stiefel. According to her she feels very comfortable using it that’s why she often wears it. I have heard that German shoes are made out of high-quality materials in which I found it very interesting. That is why I am very happy when my Auntie promised me that she will buy me a pair of “Guess Schuhe” and I’m very excited about it. She also told me that she will buy a pair of Damenstiefel for my sister. She even asked me to visit www.schuhe4all.de and www.boomshoes.de and walked me through the sites. They are the perfect place to find the best branded German Shoes like Guess, Chuck, Timberland and many more!

Time really run out so fast and it seems that it was just yesterday. My cousin (The older one) will be celebrating his birthday this coming Thursday, October 2, 2009. He will be turning 15 and it seems that it was just yesterday that i was paying with him. I think we just really have to accept the reality that there's no such thing in this world as permanent.
Day by day, i realized that im not getting any younger and I've noticed a big change to my self. I realized that i becoming more mature the way i make decisions, the way i act and the way i think. But sometimes i wish i could turn back those times again.
So cousin, i would like to take this opportunity to greet you an advance happy 15th Birthday an may you have more birthdays to come!!
