How is everyone's summer coming along? For me I would rather be in the Caribbean sipping on a pina colada and smelling the salt in the air under a palm tree at the coco beach. This "Staycation" really blows and primarily have spent my time working. Though I must admit I did go to the beach this past weekend and it was nice. I must say only one thing bothered me and well I remember years ago when going to the beach you were able to stay "till the cows came home". Lifeguards left at their usual time and if you stayed at the beach it was at your own risk, which most people did anyway. I guess honestly it has been a while since I have been to a NYC beach because I was surprised when at 6PM the parks department staff came with bullhorns letting people know they had to get out of the water and go home "cause manana is another day"! I understand the fact that some people are unrulely and they just don't take precautions when getting in the water. People knowingly go far out whether they know how to swim or not without taking into consideration undertoes, heavy waves their own lives and then it comes full circle and those of us who can be safe and use good judgement kind of lose out. At 6PM the sun was still out and I was still basking and enjoying the breeze as many others such as myself were and basically in not so many words "get out" was what we heard. Keep in mind I was not in the water. The Parks Dept worker stood there watching over everyone like a hawk watching for its prey waiting to see if anyone dared to go to the water to hand out a $250.00 summons for infractions. After a while people started getting disgusted with the whole thing and started packing up and heading out. What was I to do? I packed up to, it was no longer fun just sitting there and watching Ms. Grumpy watch me while I snacked on some chips while listening to my MP3. So basically that was the end of that and it was now time to go home. Still have another month before the summer says goodbye hopefully will be able to enjoy more of it since July has gone so quickly.
I know it has been a while since I have posted anything. I have been dedicating the past few weeks to developing the business as well as keeping up with my writing. In case many don't know I am writing a memoir about my life and that is taking up my time as well. Recently I went to a Career Bootcamp Workshop and that turned out to be very informative it was held by Womenforhire.com and Tory Johnson. Womenforhire.com is a wonderful organization for women which I highly recommend.
On Saturday June 28, 2008 I just celebrated my five year wedding anniversary. It was quiet I spent it home with my hubby because he had to work part of the day and he was somewhat exhausted after work so we stayed home. And to think this time last year we were separated and very close to a divorce. As they say all things happen for a reason and we have been blessed to be given a second chance at our marriage.
I am also getting things ready for the the online show and trying to get all the bands and artists together to showcase on its premiere date. As always I will announce it here and of course it will be "Live". The other project I am working on is the newsletter which will also be coming out sometime in September and I will let you know through here when it will be available. Also for anyone of you who have sent me an email and have not received a response my email was having some trouble but will be back online soon and I will respond to all your inquiries or I can also be contacted at nayscafe@gmail.com if you need my response quickly. Thank you to all my friends for supporting me because without you and your support none of what I do would have a purpose.
First of all I just want to say hello to my readers and friends and I apologize for being away for a while. I am expecting and am on my 7 month and honestly with so much going on have not been able to share with my audience the in's and out's of ...
While on the web I was searching for a site where you can advertise rental property as well as personal items or services. I was doing a favor for a friend who asked me to look into some rental websites for her to advertise some property she would...
Did you watch the baseball game or the debate last night? I did not watch the baseball game. I decided to watch the debate though I had missed half of it. While listening to both sides I could not help but notice both opponents body language...

Hey folks! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Now that summer is gone this weekend is 13 enjoyable things I did for the summer. This year was a "staycation" because I did not travel and was working but all in all I had a great summer...
Hey folks how is everyone doing? I wanted to take a little time to update you on a few things. Since having the baby I have had to slow down on my web activity so I had to bring down www.nayscafe.com temporarily because it needs to be updated and I need the time to do that. Moving on if you have noticed here at nay's cafe on Ning I have also added an application called Sell it which will begin to include clothing items that I will be putting for sale. You will be happy to know some of which I got my hands on the evening of Fashion's Night Out! Don't be afraid of the prices because those are listed for individuals outside of the network of course if you are a member of Nay's Cafe and you are a friend you get the hook up...lololol!
Next order of business we have had facebook.com here for a while but instead of my personal page you will find Nay's Cafe Network an extension of sorts where I will be adding only focus groups, mystery shopping and job opportunities that I run into so if you are looking to make extra money on the side don't forget to check it out once in a while.
I can still be reached by email or facebook or you can send me a message here. I will be peeking in every so often. Hoping everyone is doing great happy fall!
As most of you may already know there has been a new addition to the Basora-Martinez family. We have been blessed with a brand new baby boy on Thursday June 25, 2009. His name is Edwin Rafael Martinez in honor of his grandfather Edwin R. Basora Jr. & his uncle Rafael Martinez both taken too soon from his loved ones. He was born at 7:34 AM in Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn NY. I am excited and happy to say that I have been enjoying motherhood for a second time around next to my brand new baby boy and my beautiful daughter Laura. I am proud to say that I now feel complete my two beautiful children and my wonderful husband what more can I want or need? As an addition to the website there will be more resources for new moms who join my site and I will share my experiences with you as time goes on. There have been many changes in caring for a newborn since the last time I had a child 16 years ago so it is essential to share all the new changes.
I would like to thank once again all my friends and members for their well wishes and much love to the new babe. I also thank everyone for your patience towards me and the site since the site has not been updated. Please continue to check back to see any new additions and don't forget to post your thoughts or blogs here.

Family Outing to Olive Garden Hey folks! Hope everyone's week is going great and hope everyone enjoyed their Easter weekend as much as I did. I went out with my hubby and my daughter and her boyfriend to the Olive Garden for a nice family dinner. We all walked out of their ready to pop....seriously! The food there is wonderful rich and very tasty as well as very reasonable for the kind of food you are getting so as a suggestion in the recipe section of this website I have posted a short cut to one of their meals that you can make at home with no problem and is very tasty. Who says you can't eat at home like you would at a restaurant? Check it out...its my version of "Chicken Alfredo" with the exception it will take you about 20 minutes to prepare. At the Olive Garden each ordered dish would be $19.95 made at home it's less than $20.00 and serves four. Enjoy!
Don't know if you've noticed but I have been spucin' up the place quite a bit! I hope everyone has enjoyed the new look as well as the new add ons. We now have chat so now you can instant message me or any other member on the network...kewl! Another addition is Nay's Cafe is now added to the navigational bar which is our home page. If you have not signed up there you have a chance to now since Nay's Cafe and Nay's Cafe Community are together. There is a wealth of information that is on the home page that is not added here for the sake of repetition so please go sign up and remember its free! I have also added facebook.com to the navigational bar so that's a plus if you have a facebook already don't forget to use our badges and add them to your profile. These badges can also be added to your other social networking sites or blogs. Finally, as you will notice we have some advertising going on gradually I will be adding things that may interest any or all of our members as we grow including more groups. As always folks if you have any suggestions don't forget to send me a comment here or shoot me an email. All suggestions even the bad ones are welcome...lol!
