Branson Missouri is a great place for a family vacation. Shopping is one of my favorite whenever I stepped into US. In Branson Missouri there are plenty of outlets or malls where you can find plenty of shops in one location. Tanger Outlet Center is a must go with over 65 brand name manufacturer and designer outlet stores. My picks will be Coach Factory, Gap Outlet, Old Navy, Nike Factory Store, Osh Kosh, Kitchen collection and Disney Store Outlet.

For family entertainment there is Celebration City that features exciting largest laser and fireworks spectacular, dazzling water illusions, over 30 rides and attractions. I am sure my family can spend the entire day of fun and excitement.

For those of you who enjoy nature, you can go to Cosmic Cavern, Fantastic Cavers, Talking Rocks Cavern, State Park Marina or Dagwood Canyon Nature Park. You can enjoy lovely caves, hills, hollows and wilderness experience. There is a tram guided tour in Dagwood Canyon Nature Park and lots of activities there too.

Addiction Treatment
05.07.08 | Permalink |PP, Rehab| Comments Off

An addiction to drug or alcohol is very difficult to overcome. It takes a lot of courage for one to seek help. Support from love ones is very important to the individual, motivating them to get out of the problem.

A lot of them have the perception that they are alone in the problem and beyond help. An addiction treatment will be effective if they understand that a group of people cared for them. If you know anyone who is with an addiction problem, step up to help them.

DownUnder Delight

I am craving for the Aussie Chinese food every since I left Australia. I have been staying there for 5 years and I love every moment of it. When I am there, I get home sick too.

The Chinese food especially in Sydney is simply delicious. Most of the big Hong Kong chef migrated and start their business there. The seafood like scallops, abalone, king crabs and oysters were the best I ever tasted. If I ever go back there, I will sure spend myself a scrumptious meal.

During my studies there, I always brought back some huge abalone whenever I came home for summer break. It is really big. I remembered when I was a secondary student, I told my teacher that I ate a big abalone, she wouldn’t believe me. Abalone at that time was affordable. My mom will cook something delicious with the abalone.

Recently I got my friend to bring me some abalone back which I missed. With abalone, you need to know how to cook it. If it is not cook properly, it will become like rubber. You need to tenderize it. It can be cook with any vegetables like broccoli. You can also make double boil chicken soup with it. It is simply my favorite.

If any of you coming back from there, please bring me some more abalone!

Beauty & Classic

I admired those lovely houses with classic fiberglass columns. They bring out the character and beauty of a house. Worthington is the most popular company that produces fine architectural fiberglass columns. They have lovely arches, balustrade system, brackets, capitals, entrance systems, fireplace mantels, keystones, medallions, louvers, moldings, shutters and others. I love their designs and it is sculptured perfectly.

You can make your house look good and luxurious with Worthington architectural products.

iBox Arrived

Yeap, it was my 16G iPhone that came all the way from US for me. The last one I got was from my hubby. You must be asking, why I liked iPhone so much. I can go on and on. So far, I have influenced a bunch of people to get iPhone. Apple should give me some commission.

I like the Safari browser. It is superb, fast and zoom-able using your fingers. It has WiFi, I can surf at home without booting up my computer. I can sync my work meeting schedules onto my phone with ease. Now I get reminder from my phone on meetings. I need that because a few cases, I missed night telecons because I forgot all about it. It has iPod which is great for viewing video, music and sermons. I managed to copy some of my children video in my iPhone. Now I am trying ways to copy CSI series onto my iPhone which I can view when I am travelling.

I can check my gmail whenever I am connected. I can either use WiFi or Digi Wap to download emails. By the way, there is a free VOIP software too which I haven’t tested out yet. With VOIP, you can dial anywhere in the world without worrying about expensive charges.

Here are some of the tools I used:

SimPort – Copy all my SIM contact to the iPhone.
iZoo – My favorite game.
eBooks & KJV – Electronic Bible.
Dictionaries – Concise Britannica & Merriam Webster with pronunciation.
Converter – Converts all kinds of measurements.
iToner – Copy ringtones over.
iTunes – Sync Office Outlook Calender & Mails.

I am hunting for a WinXP Tool that I can copy files directly to the iPhone. With that, I can change ringtones, wallpaper and copy applications over. Believed me, iPhone is like a palm computer with a superb Mac OS.

If you are an iPhone user, let me know what other good tools out there..
