Physical Fitness has become an obsession

Tell me I am crazy and I won't mind it. I am so overwhelmed by the good effects of physical exercise and what it has done to restore my health.

For many years I was Asthmatic and along with that ailment there is all kinds of respiratory problems and discomfort. In addition to that, I have been suffering from bouts of high blood pressure too.

It wasn't until Windy relentlessly made me commit myself to a discipline of controlled dieting and daily physical exercise, that the truth made profound improvements in my general health today.

Windy's suggestions were very simple. Now that is where it becomes difficult. The more simple it sounds, the more reason to question why is there the need for it. One of the fitness equipment that Windy suggested was that I buy a skipping rope. He said that it is an all-weather, inexpensive and an idiot-proof item. He is sure right about that because when it rains I do not have any excuse for not having done my daily exercise.

Now, I find more fun by playing Badminton for my physical exercise.

Weddings are made in Heaven but we're still on the ground

One of the most dizziest time that a woman would face would be her Wedding Day. It comes before, during and right after the event.

I can already see that happening to my dear cousin, Michelle who is going through the preparatory stages for her Wedding Day. In her situation, as it is for Filipina, there is the tradition and cultural aspects that have to be followed. It is a time-honored part of the entire Wedding arrangement.

One of the most challenging points about a Wedding is the invitations. You start writing down a few names and as the days go by, it runs into several pages. Sometimes, a few names might be inadvertently missed and it could cause hurt feelings or even emotions to flare.

I hope when my turn arrives, there will not be too many hassles.

Houses in the Philippines

What would your dream house be?

Of course if it is left to our own whims and fancies, it would be a house that is picture perfect. However, back to reality, a house would be feasible within the financial means of the owner.

Here in the Philippines, most houses are made of cement and blocks. In the shanty parts of various cities, the houses are made of galvanized corrugated sheets and wood. Some houses are bottom half cement and blocks while the upper part is made of wood.

I have not seen houses that use steel but in the cities there are beautiful steel buildings. These buildings are so strong and they look beautiful.

When Shopping delivers more than I know

The other day I was in town doing my usual grocery shopping when I spotted something that I have never seen before.

It was displayed at the showcase from one of the shops. It really did something amazing.

Well, I cannot tell exactly all that the contraption does but from what it did at the showcase, I must stay that it is a marvel. The sales representative came out and explained to me that Slingbox allows you to watch and control your favorite TV source from anywhere in the world on your laptop or mobile phone.

Isn't that simply fantastic? I hope that one day I shall be able to get one myself.

Kuerdas Performs at the Kalilangan Opening Night

Kuerdas was again tapped to perform by the San Miguel Corporation. This is in line with the opening activities of the Kalilangan Festival. But this time around to a different venue. The SMB Party Zone usually takes place at the Oval Plaza. But this year, SMB didn't won the bid so they chose Robinson's Mall to be the venue for this year's Party Zone.

It was a night of fun and excitement. I was there and I was able to witness how much people were enthralled with the beat of reggae music.


I took advantage of this night to give Marjory a treat for her debut. She is our working student at home. I will write more about her on my other blog.

Anyways, we would like to thank the people who came over at the Robinson's Place and jammed with Kuerdas music.

You certainly rock guys!

No Regrets!

As the band members get older each day, they also have to think what the future holds for them. I wonder of they have realized the importance of getting themselves insured. I told my mother it would be a lot better of she try handing them out life insurance quotes. It sure will keep their options open and make them realize that while they are still productive, the best thing to do is save up enough for their future by virtue of these stable insurances. They will reap in no time what they have sow and for sure, there would be no regrets!
