Coming to New Orleans - Canal Street

Let me take you to the HEART OF NEW ORLEANS - Canal Street!
   Still, a lot would take the bus as a form of transportation.
 ...but most, prefer to walk!
 This is the downtown, the center of New Orleans.. where a lot of things are going on!
For one, remember "There's just one more reason to love New Orleans!" advertisement in the airport/luggage section? well, that's HARRAH's New Orleans Casino. 
Major establishments and businesses are located here.
This is New Orleans' Riverwalk.
It overlooks the beautiful Mississippi River (I'll show some more pictures of this, next time!) 
See the New Orleans' STREETCAR?  New Orleans is also known as the "Hollywood South"! 
They were actually filming, I was just lucky to be there that time!

    The things I know about New Orleans is how Anne Rice describes it in her novels
    from the charming old New Orleans to the modern day beautiful place.
    Never mind that it's in Louisiana, with swamps and alligators abound,
    and the contrast of the town, lush description of local and their sexy accent..
    I get excited when I get the opportunity to talk to some clients from Louisiana,
    How they drawl their tongues is a dead give away.. :)

    It seems to be a real cool place to live. I have just read of the place in novels. Now I have a photographic print in my head too. :D

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
