I'm Glad it's Just a Minor Repair

One of our tenants vacated the apartment recently. I think they were able to buy a house already. I'm sad because we're losing them as they pay very well but I am happy at the same time because they have their own house already. It's every family's dream to have a house of their own. We will be making a few minor repairs and I am thinking of using bifen it to get rid of termites if there is any. Speaking of termites, I might use it too here at home. I see some signs so I need to put some so it won't spread, some quick fix you know.

Adult Beginner Ballet at Plana Forma

We had our second sesh last Saturday and I am still loving it. It's fun I tell you. We always associate ballet with kids, I don't blame you because we often see those little cute girls in their tutus during recitals and all. Ballet for adult is more like a fitness thing to me. It helps maintain good posture too, but in my case it teaches me to have good and proper posture. This is the reason why I love doing it. And yeah, talk about grace and poise too!

Take Good Care of Your Health

The husband is scheduled to have his executive checkup soon. I wonder if he will submit himself this time. We forced him the last time. Good thing he did if not we won't be able to discover that he had a problem with his cholesterol. You know what's next to happen once your cholesterol is hight. You can avoid it though by getting atorvastatin from tcds.com. That's the med that was prescribed to the husband. I remember my own dad taking that medicine too. I know a lot of people who take that med, I guess it's a lifestyle thing, love for good food. It's ok to love good food but it should be coupled with fitness so whatever the intake is, you burn it and at the same time get rid of toxins too. But then again not all are into fitness.

I Think I Really Love Games

I am soooo glad I have not reached this state yes. But the way I'm playing I think I'm getting there in no time. Noooo, I don't like it, I wanna be rehabilitated soon. Games I play shouldn't be stressful in fact it should be played to destress. But why is it that lately games are made to be stressful? Is it us who's making it stressful because we want to finish it right away? Or is it the frustration that we can't get past a level? I've promised myself not to get deep into games but why am I doing this again?

Score a Deal

One day we're gonna go jamming over at my cousin's house. Right now we're just doing it at home, the console type. We have the drums, the guitar and I always end up as the vocalist. Not that I don't know how to play, it's just that the kids always want to be on the drums and the guitar. I think it would be exciting if it's gonna be for real. I'm not sure if my daughter is still interested in learning the drums. Oh speaking of drums I wonder if my cousin knows about this cheap dw 9000 double pedal at musicians friend. I understand that it is on sale right now. I bet she'll be excited since us Moms really look for good deals all the time. I think that's one of our characteristics. We are able to score awesome items because we are so patient in looking for one. How about you?

Hooray for SALE

I've been eyeing this shorts at the American Eagle Store for some six months now. You know why I wasn't able to buy it? It's darn too expensive here. You know what I did? I waited for it to go on sale at their website and would you believe I got it for only P650.00. I am so happy that it was on the sale section otherwise I won't be able to buy it really. I got a good deal, I think I paid 25% of the amount only. Hooray for the word SALE!

The Guitarist We Know

We have a friend in church who plays the guitar very well in fact he teaches too. Since my son has expressed his desire to learn the guitar, I might as well ask him to teach Josh. My kids are friends with this person and I think he will be the perfect guitar teacher. He used to be part of a band but I don't think they reached the point of playing professionally. Hhhmm, an idea came to mind. Why don't I join my kids, good idea? I've always been fascinated, anyway. I can ask him about a lot of things concerning music, instruments, attachments, etc. I don't have any idea what this classic pocket pod at guitar center does, so maybe I can ask him too. Ahhh, one of the perks of having different personalities for a friend, you learn a lot from them.

Letterhead Ideas

Did you know that a letterhead says a lot about your company/business? Whenever I receive a business letter, I tend to look at the letterhead first or should I say I am more drawn to it at first glance more than the content of the letter. I know it's a case to case basis depending on what letters you expect in the mail. Anyway, I want to share with you a local letterhead printing shop that can help you make your own letterhead. It offers tips on layout and design. If you don't have any idea on how to do your letterhead, then maybe they can help you. Oh, they sample kits too so you'll have an idea how it would look like. This is between you and me, you can get ideas out of this sample kits, haha.

I Now Have a KitchenAid

Oh yeah! Oh yeah! It finally arrived. Two months wait is sweet! Now I can't imagine baking without my stand mixer. Why didn't not even think of buying it before? Haha as if I don't know the reason why. Truth is, we couldn't afford it at that time. We had more important things to take care of. Not having it wasn't a hindrance since we were still able to make cookies and cakes. So what makes me think that I can't imagine my life without it? Yeah I know I am silly, more than you'll ever know!

Improve Your PC Performance

My son is no longer happy with the performance of this computer. I wonder if he does defragmentation every month. I think this is recommended to be done once a month if you like your computer to be at par all the time. Here's a site called Iolo.com disk defragmenter if you don't know how to go about it. I need to ask my son if he knows it and if not then he has to check out the site too. Don't ask me, like you I also don't know.

Home Improvement Projects

We are blessed having to live next to a hardware so to speak. I have not really experienced frustration when I needed a few things badly but don't have it. I am fond of home improvement projects and I heard that when you are fond of it you gotta have u bolts on hand. For those of you who doesn't know what a u bolt is, its a bolt shaped like the letter U. Haha I know it is obvious, duh. There are a number of uses depending on the size. It's just a matter of determining which bolt is applicable.

Lemon Water in the Mornings

I've started drinking lukewarm lemon water in the morning. I thought I couldn't take it. Just thinking about it makes me squirm. I tried anyway and it wasn't as bad. On the first day, I asked my helper to put lots and lots of ice so it wouldn't be hard drinking it without sugar. I was wrong there, I should be drinking it lukewarm. I'm sure by now you already know the benefits of drinking lukewarm lemon water in the morning, if not why don't you google it.

Stain Free

I get disgusted seeing stains on screws and stuff. Sometimes we can't help it even though what we're buying is supposedly stainless. Until now I still can't fathom why this is so. Why do we still get stains? Anyway, do you know that ceramics are the in thing now? Here take a look at this alumina ceramics. Isn't it cool? This time we can do away with those dirty looking stains that is just disgusting. I wish I knew about this thing sooner.

On Fog Machines

Whenever I watch a concert I always ask myself if that smoke thingy is really necessary. Apparently it is as it is one of the stage effects. Looks cool from afar with the lights and all. Have you wondered how much a cool fog machine cost? It's not really much. Well there are expensive ones but what I found online is kinda cheaper but works like the high end one. I haven't seen it for myself though, but that was what the review says and I believe it. These are legit people who did the reviews.

I Did the Right Thing

I exercised my right to suffrage on May 13, 2013. I didn't go early since I figured that the lines will be long. I decided that around lunch would be good, but NO. The line were still long. Anyway we went malling for a while because I know I'd be lazy when I go home. Didn't like the results though and even thought why I voted at all, it was useless. Anyway I am hoping that those ones whom we think won't deliver will surprise us in the Senate.

Fitness for Everyone

Everyone's getting into the fitness world even my husband. Now I am worrying for the 2 kids, I don't think they like fitness at all. My boy has a weekend activity doing taekwondo, but my girl, ah she's just plain lazy. I keep telling her to start already since she's turning 20 this year. She needs to incorporate it to her life. Anyway, what I am happy about is that the husband has finally decided to enrol in the gym. He needs it real bad I think. I won't be surprised when one day he'll come home telling me, I decided to join yoga. I think this will be good for him since he has been complaining of back pains. Now I have to look into yoga outfits like everythingyoga yoga pants men for him. I know nothing about what men wear, or are they even particular on what they wear? Buying fitness clothes for him is an excuse to get myself too!!! Win-Win situation, right? Weeee!

Cycling Soon?

The husband considers going back to biking. He was into it 4 years ago and he really lost some weight. Now that he put back the weight plus more, he thought of going back to biking. Now if that's the case, I think I will join him. We need something like one of these yakima racks coz 2 bikes won't fit inside the car anymore. I am excited already since a lot are saying that cycling is really one of the best exercise. My wish though is an indoor bike track since I'm so afraid of Mr. Sun.

I had a good time with my cousins Bobet and Cindy. I don't really see them regularly anymore but deep in my heart I know that these 2 girls are special. Our grandmothers are sisters and that makes us 2nd cousins. I knew Bobet while I was growing up, while Cindy already in my teen years. We used to live in the province and Bobet lives in the province too. When my family moved to Manila, that's when I got to know Cindy and got close with her. We're of the same age and interests more or less that's why the 3 of us clicked right away. Hoping to spend all summers with them. Thanks for everything ladies!

Can't Wait

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go...NOT! Haha I am just excited for my upcoming US trip. The husband got me a ticket already and I can't wait. I've been wanting to be with my sisters again in the US. We will have all the time to go around since I am not bringing my kids with me. The first time in the US was wonderful but I was kinda restricted coz I brought with me my then young kids, they were 11 and 9 at that time and was too dependent on me. Didn't have a nanny with me so that was a bit hard. This is the reason why I am looking forward to this trip, I will be able to go see more places, do more shopping, etc.

Hearing Protection

Whenever I watch a concert I always want to be seated up front. Thing is it gets really noisy once the band starts playing. It's no longer music to the ear, it's deafening. No wonder some of the band members I see wear earplugs. At first I didn't get it, but when I found this article online that we have to protect our hearing now I understand. Even the musicians need it or I should say more so especially when they are practicing. Hopefully more and more musicians are wearing one as I've gathered that there are different styles to suit their needs.
