December Sky

Touch of Orange

We rarely see the sun at this time of year, but when we do, the sky always put on an amazing show to woo me. I was caught in a surprise to see this beautiful view of light orange sky.

Touch of Pink

In just a few seconds later, the orange color was push away, and a light pink color was on display. The changes took place right in front of my eyes, and I could only utter "wow" through my cold breath.

Cradle the Sun

As I turned to my left side, the sky was in a totally different mood and grayish in color. The sun seemed to nestle between the branches.

I am saying good-bye to December 2011 sky, and wish you all a very

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Update On How to Adjust Widget's Width, Height or Length

The Live Feedjit widgets for US bloggers, and United Kingdon bloggers are different as far as I know. When my friend asked me to write on how to adjust the length of Live Feedjit, I based my information on my blog's widget. I thought they are all the same, but Anne quickly pointed out to me that her widget didn't have that HTML code as I underlined in my post "How to Adjust Height, Width, or Length of Widgets".

So today, I spent some time in Anne's blogs, and found that there was no way to adjust the length. After playing around with the HTML for a while, I still couldn't get it to work for her. So here is an update and a quick solution for those who are particular with the way it looks.

1. Click on Get Feedjit Now on your own old widget
2. You can customize the background color, text color, link color, header color, border color, etc. here
3. Select the width of your Feedjit widget
4. Select the number of visitors you would want
5. Remove your old widget from your blog
6. If you are satisfied with your choice, then click on the button Install Feedjit, and follow the on screen direction.

That all it takes! This should work for United Kingdom bloggers or for anyone who just want to adjust the length, width or height of their widgets.

Ziti Casserole With Meatballs and Bread

Baked Ziti Casserole

We love pasta in our house even though we do have to watch our intake. Who could resist baked ziti casserole with red sauce, cheese, and parsley topping? This is what we fuel our body to have energy for other activity.

Free EVO Phones at Sprint

This post brought to you by Sprint. All opinions are 100% mine.

My heart was set on the HTC EVO 4G two summers ago when my "high-tech sister" came to visit, and now I am happy to let you know that you can own this baby at absolutely no cost at all. For a limited time only, Sprint offers this special online deal for 3 days with free shipping, and free activation on all new lines.

As you can guess, the HTC EVO 4G is listed at $449, therefore, this is a big amount of money that you can save, plus shipping cost and activation fees which could bring it up to more than $500 dollars. If the HTC EVO 4G is not what you like, you can check out the other Android™ powered EVO 4G devices!

Take A Seat, Have a Rest

Lately, I am not motivated, enthusiastic, or even want to blog. I think I have "blogging block" if there is such a thing. Maybe I'm all burned out. Maybe my mind is muddled, and maybe my priority is shifted once again.

While I was on a week of vacation without internet, I had no choice but to relax, and forget all about blogging. I wore no watch, and had no cell phone either. It was a fine time without all of these gadgets! It was great to feel so carefree.

What really disappointing to me was my Alexa ranking numbers! It took my motivation away, and made me realize that I should just take time to smell the flower! Allow whatever, to be whatever!

This bench is where I want to park myself. Just sit and rest! However, I will be out all day taking my mom to the dentist, plus other errands, and then later on, I will have to host entertaining her visitors.

So it is good to pretend and dream that I am sitting on that bench watching life goes by for a while!

Sunset At Metro Airport

Fire In the Sky

These photos were taken through the glass panels at Metro Airport before my vacation in November. The sky looked as if it was on fire that day.

Sunset At the Airport

We were waiting to board Spirit Airplane, which got delayed more than two hours. I had nothing better to do than to chase the sunset.

Beautiful Lit Sky

After two hours delayed, and four hours of standby for the mess to clear up, Spirit Airline sent their customers who had to take a connection flight in Chicago home. We were in this group of unlucky (or could be a blessing in the sky) people. We had to take another flight out two days later.

Red Lipstick Vine Flowers

Red Lipstick Vine

Just as the sign in the above indicated, these red flowers are called "Lipstick Vine", and I found them at the Conservatory blooming in October.  The scientific name is Aeschynanthus lobbianus.

Macro of Lipstick Vine Flower

The flower has a tubular shape, and to grow this plant indoor the temperature has to be from 60-85 degree Fahrenheit with high humidity. It also does best with indirect sunlight from the West, East, and South.

Red Lipstick Vine

The lipstick flower grows in group at the tips of the branches, and loves organic acid soil. It also prefers moisture and needs to be fed weekly with fertilizer soluble, with extra nitrogen while flowering.
