WorkBootUSA always creates innovative gear from head to toe.

They were listed among the best companies because they makes products that exceed the needs of their customers with quality and innovative products, as well as exceptional value.

Do you wonder why it is called 5.11 pants! What does it stands for? I have searched what 5.11 pants mean because I want also to understand. These pants were originally developed for rock climbing. As a matter of fact, 5.11 is a rock climbing difficulty level as listed in the Yosemite Decimal System. 5.11 level is even more grueling, as compare with skill levels ranging from 5.0 to 5.10 levels. As an additional information, 5.11 tactical pants are currently the premier cargo pant worn by federal law and police personnel. These pants are particularly worn during trainings and almost all law enforcements are wearing a pair of cargo pants or cargo shorts that are 5.11 tactical pants. These pants are perfect and lovely to wear those especially if they could have cell phone pocket added to the left leg, just like the one on the right leg. The narrow pocket on the right could be perfect to hold a spare of pistol magazine. Furthermore, I also love to see strengthened/reinforced pockets. But I can say that these 5.11 tactical pants are the better than anything else I have seen so far for tactical training.

I usually eat this special japanese cuisine called sushi that is a food made of vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients including cooked or uncooked fish and vegetables. Sushi is sometimes misunderstood to mean the raw fish by itself, or even any fresh raw-seafood dishes. In Japan, sliced raw fish alone is called sashimi and is distinct from sushi.I eat futomaki, hosomaki, kappamaki, tekkamaki, uramaki, temaki and many more.

Around Akihabara

It was 2003 when I first see Akihabara and I was amazed what I have seen. I saw computers, computer peripherals and latest gadgets all around the corner. Manga, anime, videodiscs, and game software are the million sellers. Hand parts for the do-it-yourself PC builder are readily available. Tools, electrical parts, wires, microsized cameras and more are to be found. Foreign tourists tend to visit the big name shops like Laox, where I bought some watches for my family and friends. Akiba is really famous as an electronics wholesale district. After tough days' shopping, even you are tired, can be certain of one thing: you'll be back!

Interaction With The Whales

Ocean Adventure is really no ther like it in the world! We really have enjoyed our 30- minute interaction with the whales. It was our first time to touch them and swim with them. We have explored about whales' underwater world. And we really appreciate how gentle and playful these mammals are. Of course, we have posed with the whales as captured with our digital camera!

Our Animals at Ocean Adventure

Last summer I was in Subic Bay Freeport Zone, formerly the largest US naval base outside the United States.

We were in Subic to witness bottlenose dolphins and false killer whales as they give entertainment to many people. We were in Ocean Adventure, which is a unique marine park. Ocean Adventure is Southeast Asia's only open-water marine park that has many fascinating animals, some of the world's most beautiful mammals - dolphins, whales and sea lions in their natural habitat.




We really enjoy all day seeing spectacular display of mammal behavior of these animals staged in open water amidst a beautiful horizon of blue sea and mountain ranges.

I Love San Diego

We all know that San Diego has many tourist attractions, such as SeaWorld San Diego, Belmont amusement park, San Diego Zoo, San Diego Wild Animal Park, and nearby Legoland. I think San Diego is a nice place to live in California.

I have been in San Diego, only as a tourist. I have to San Diego Zoo already. I have tried many San Diego restaurants and tasted the abundance of wood fired California-style pizzas, and Mexican and East Asian cuisine. In the Internet we can see San Diego Rentals, which features economy to luxury accommodations for every vacation and corporate traveler, as well as people who are relocating. And some of the activities San Diego can offer include great shopping, terrific golfing, seaport village, gas lamp quarter, amazing restaurants and many more.

I really love San Diego. As a matter of fact, I want to live in San Diego. I found this great website called Café San Diego, where we can find San Diego's many great eating and drinking establishments. We can also find San Diego beach real estate. The site offers convenient and intuitive way for you to find what you're looking for based on Cuisine Type, Neighborhood, Atmosphere, and Special Features.

Las Vegas: Entertainment Capital of the World

Las Vegas is known as the Entertainment Capital of the World. It is famous for the number of large casino resorts and associated entertainment. I have been to Las Vegas several times already. I really love watching las vegas show. And this year, I will go to see Bette Midler in Vegas live at the Coliseum inside Caesars Palace. My mother is a fan of this Hawaii native Bette Midler, who have been acting, singing, and performing many years ago. She is popular with her oft melodic singing style with some light jokes. Now that she is back my mother never want to miss her and see her perform again. Indeed, we already have bought tickets and got this VIP New Year’s eve experience. We will stay in Augustus Tower Rooms at Caesars Palace for two nights.

Stylish Eyeglasses at ZenniOptical

We all know that today we not wear eyeglasses just for vision correction but as a fashion accessory to enhance your personality. Indeed, there is diverse variety of eyewear ranging from soft designer eyeglass frames to antique and special effects contact lenses, as a good alternative to eyeglasses. We can also see stylish cosmetic sunglasses to protect eyes from the harmful effects of ultra violet rays.



Since we are experiencing economic uncertainty, I have learned to evaluate my spending habits and I have learned to look for a better value for my spending. Now, I only shop at ZenniOptical for my eyeglasses. I have chosen them because they sell affordable yet stylish eyeglasses. I like them because they are a market leader in quality, cost effective prescription eyeglasses that anyone can afford. If you visit their site, you can find stylish prescription glasses from $8. You can find different frames like single vision lens, sunsensor lens, tinted sunglasses lens, bifocal lens and progressive lens. Do you wonder why they sell great eyeglasses at low prices? The reason behind that is they only sell their own manufactured frames direct to the customer. Therefore, they do no use middleman and no advertising budget as well.

Ice Skating Central Park's Wollman Rink

Although I never tried ice skating in New York City, I think it is fun to try it in Central Park's Wollman Rink during winter. Yes, there are several famous places to go ice skating in New York City but I just know Central Park's Wollman Rink will give a good atmosphere to enjoy ice skating. What do you think?

Release Your Energy at Chelsea Piers

It is really wonderful to be in Manhattan. If you are into sports, I suggest you to get in at Chelsea Piers on 23rd Street in Manhattan and release your energy. This complex has facilities for 28 different activities, such as bowling, gymnastics, wall climbing, skateboarding, soccer, indoor batting cages, and ice skating. Aside from that, you can also find spa and a health club. Really enjoying!

New York Bridge Walks

Walking is a form of exercise. And walking across one of the many bridges that connect Manhattan to the other boroughs and New Jersey is really fun and healthy! When I was a little kid, I never imagine walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. Although the bridge has been constructed for many years now, the bridge is such an engineering masterpiece. At night, the bridge is lit up to highlight the fantastic Gothic structure. When you visit New York, I suggest you to join the thousands of New Yorkers who walk across this historic bridge every day. You can bike too.

Horseback Riding in Central Park, Manhattan

I can see some horses and buggies lined up around the perimeter of the Central Park. I have tried myself to take a relaxing ride, though costly, I have enjoyed a lot. I can say that Central Park really offers a gorgeous backdrop as you get the feeling of what it was like to travel through Manhattan in the 19th century. When you visit New York, try horse and buggy rides! It is fun!

Manhattan Culture

Neighborhood of Chelsea
This place is a popular haven for art because of its galleries and cultural events. It has more than 200 art galleries that are home to modern art from both upcoming and established artists.

Broadway Theatre
It is considered to be the highest professional form of theatre in the United States. It is one of the larger professional theatres with at least 500 seats, almost all in and around Times Square, where plays and musicals usually performed.

Lincoln Center
Lincoln Center is home to one of the world's most prestigious opera houses- the Metropolitan Opera.

For me, Manhattan has the most extensive art collections in the world including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Guggenheim Museum.

Manhattan, New York

Did you know that there are over 40 million American and foreign visitors come to New York City every year? I am one of those who become overwhelmed at the sheer amount of things to do and see in a limited time because there are just so many choices. I get the most out of our trip walking in Manhattan.



We all know that Manhattan is considered to be the major commercial, financial, and cultural center of the United States and the world. We can locate most major radio, television, and telecommunications companies, as well as many news, magazine, book, and other media publishers in the United States. We can also find many famous landmarks, tourist attractions, museums, and universities. Indeed, it is the home to the headquarters of the United Nations, the home to the largest number of corporate headquarters in the nation, and the center of New York City and the New York metropolitan region, holding the seat of city government, and the largest fraction of employment, business, and recreational activities.

Ground Zero

The place shown in the photo is where WTC (World Trade Center) is located, before September 11, 2001 when attacked by terrorists. Flight 11 and flight 175 were hijacked and flown into the twin towers.



The term Ground Zero is used to describe the point on the earth's surface where an explosion occurs. It may also refer o the point on the ground directly below an explosion. It describes the site of the World Trade Center in New York City, when it was destroyed by the attacks.

Little Italy: A Tourist Trap?

Well, they say that there is not much of Little Italy in Manhattan anymore. It was more or less a tourist trap and that it was not worth the detour. However, I was still curious to see the place. I still enjoyed shopping from several souvenir shops and dining to the restaurant. For those people who have seen Little Italy before, they were probably disappointed to see how small Little Italy has become. I have heard that most of the Italian families of old have now moved to different residential areas throughout the city.



I had Spaghetti and meatballs a la bolognesa, although it was not the best Italian meal I've ever had. I still say that Little Italy is quite good, not expensive, and the atmosphere of the place turned this into a really pleasant experience!

Little Italy in Manhattan

I captured this photo when I was in New York last month. The place is called Little Italy in Manhattan. It was called Little Italy because it was once occupied by large population of Italians. The place is right on Mulberry Street from Spring Street to Canal Street in Manhattan. I just love these streets because of many New York's best Italian restaurants and cafes.



I was just disappointed I never experienced the ten-day Feast of San Gennaro, usually takes place in Mulberry Street. During this celebration the shrines and relics of this saint are paraded through the streets. Many people will enjoy Italian foods of all types, rides, games, entertainment, and audience-participation singing and dancing.

Statue of Liberty Replicas

Did you know that there are hundreds of other Statues of Liberty erected worldwide? Yes, they exist in Austria, Germany, Italy, Japan, China, Brazil and Vietnam. Shown in the picture below is a replica of Statue of Liberty in Japan.


In 1950 in Columbia, Missouri, boy scouts of America have placed a small replica of the Statue of Liberty. The statue was dedicated as a pledge of everlasting fidelity and loyalty. There is also a statue that is almost entirely white as viewed from US-322 East and West going past the river in the middle of the Susquehanna River near Harrisburg, PA. Aside from that there is also a statue in Paris and several others elsewhere in France. Statue of Liberty replicas are also located in theme parks and resorts like New York-New York Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
