As soon as the hubby got hold of tickets for LA Galaxy and Philippine Azkal’s Friendly Game set on December 3, 2011, we immediately inquired about the Football Clinic that LA Galaxy is holding the day before. After learning that only the first 150 children would be accommodated, there was practically no deliberation. It was to be an experience of a lifetime. Yes, we are probably more excited than the little guy. Haha! Registration cost is P14,000/head, which is inclusive of LA Galaxy equipment (jersey, shorts, snacks and a soccer bag).
Although the LA Galaxy Football Clinic might not sound very cheap, I think with what’s included in the package plus the two chaperones who are allowed totally justify the cost. And it’s the LA Galaxy Football Club for crying out loud! It’s the cost we pay for being with the top team. How often do we get the chance to be with David Beckham, Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane anyway? Read the rest of this entry »
If there is one credit card issuer I am happy with, it is RCBC Bankard. I’ve been a subscriber since 1999 and we never had any major issues with them. I have 4 cards with them to date. I wish I can say the same for other credit card companies. First off, we have to remember that credit cards are not for everyone. If you do not have self-discipline, then use cash or debit card instead. I am happy to report that every single cent on our billing statement gets paid in full every month. It is the only way you can do to make the interest rate NOT work against you. This works for us even as we get away from having to pay annual fees because of our good credit standing with them.
Today I received this pack of Hawaiian Luau party ideas. With the school year about to end, this is something we can make use of in parties during the vacation. I downloaded the games straight from the internet – easy and no fuss.
When our son got at least a couple of board games for Christmas last year, I thought they were to be left in the corner of his room for a few more years. That is until our five year old himself showed me the label from the box that the Monopoly Jr. is for the 5 year old and up.
It turns out I underestimated him. Our son’s being restless and playful somehow got me to think that he might not last a while sitting through the game. I cannot be more wrong. Apparently, it was our son who has kind of set a family game night as he became hooked to playing Monopoly Jr. for a while. He read through the instructions himself and got on to being the banker, collects, distributes the money allotted for each player like a pro in no time. He was a natural!
With my home-based work and the plateful of things I do on a daily basis, it can be hard to draw the line when to stop and just spend time with the family. Our family game time, which something that our son ever so looks forward to, at least twice a week, allows for us to strike that balance between working and family bonding time, which should really be of utmost priority.
Yesterday, I attended an event for parent bloggers where we were presented 2 of the most creative toys that were recently introduced in the market – ZipBin and RainbowBrush. Just to give you an idea what RainbowBrush is. Here is a video clip of how to get started with these creative pens.
A month from now the hubby will watch UFC 111 live stream online. I am married to a very sport minded man, that’s for sure. UFC might not be my favorite thing. In fact, when were still dating, I used to cringe whenever he watches these types of shows. But after of being together for more than a decade, these are just one of the things I would have to live with and accept.
So, I did not choose to brave the Bungee Fun attraction at Eastwood. I am too much of a coward like that. But what I was able to do was cover comprehensively, each and every blogger participant’s bungee experience. Seeing all these shots just makes me want to consider trying it out. But from how my stomach churned just watching them last Friday, I am pretty sure I will still be all good at taking pictures next time. Unlike the hubby, I am not very adventurous.
Here are some pictures the hubby and I took from the Bungee Fun date in Eastwood. First, the guidelines:
Who would have thought an attraction such as this will fit in what might as well be a packed place, Eastwood City already is. It is located right smack across Pho Hoa, near Jack’s Loft and Dulcinea, which I think is very strategic. People will just have to stop and watch such bungee fun. This is exactly what happened when one girl went flipping and flopping in the air, with her crazy somersaults and fun air dancing.
Who would have known that after so many months (probably a year) of not being able to play basketball, he still has it? Well, I am just so proud and I just have to say it out loud that the hubby is the top scorer of last Saturday’s game of MaristAlumniBasketball.com. Go check the page and his name is right there.
When you look at the most popular options on the market, airsoft gas guns are some of the biggest sellers. And that makes good sense because the guns have plenty of benefits, including being affordable and fairly powerful. As you might imagine, they also need to have their gas containers replaced after you expend a specific number of shots. Most use a gas known as HFC134a, but you could sometimes opt for airsoft green gas instead.

Details of the UHC Green Gas
The best explanation is that the green gas airsoft gun is more powerful than the more traditional type of gas that is used. Usually, the gas is made from propane with silicone included and this combination can provide a boost to many of the guns on the market. Of course, you’ll have to pay a little extra for that boost but the cost may be worth the results. One point that is important to remember is that this type of gas is not more environmentally friendly than the other options. Some consumers make that mistake because of the “green” in its name.

After a couple of months of not being able to play soccer because of so many things on his plate, the hubby was able to join his team, Marikina United last night as they played against Lourdes highschool’s varsity team during a tune up game. Marikina United won: 5-4. Yey!
The hubby and I were married three years before we were blessed with a son. During those first years of married bliss one of the favorite things we enjoyed doing together is going to the spa. We hope to be able to try out the Spa Couples package from BlueWater Day Spa. It has been a while since we indulged in this type of royalty treatment. After having heard of countless BlueWater Day Spa recommendations, I just know it’s on top of our to have list.
Truth be told, working from home can be the most stressful of all jobs. First, I cannot really shut my child out, in the middle of work, when he asks for attention. I try my best to have him understand that mama is working, but it can be a challenge. I have learned to device ways to juggle the things I do from my work as a web content writer, to the toddler I have to take care of and teach, things that I do in between and back again to the endless cycle.One thing for sure, one has got to have strong intrinsic motivators to be able to do what I do.
This is why a spa will be a treat I would like to have every so often. A Vitalift (Flash Beauty Treatment) will also be a sweet indulgence. I am not much of a fan of invasive procedures, so this the one that I will ever go through when it comes to facials. I’m sure that will be review worthy that I will post live via my beauty blog – KikayCorner.net
Now that BlueWater Day Spa Capitol Hills branch is open, I will be the most thrilled to drag the hubs with me one of these days and just soak ourselves in treatments fit for a queen and her king.

The hubby is the most athletic 33 year old that I have ever come across with. He always feels sluggish and gets tired easily whenever he misses his workouts at Marikina Sports Park. There is just this need for him to go run miles. He comes back refreshed and energized. For that I admire him more.
Remember my quest to being healthier this 2009, which defines that I do my part of working out even via my ever reliable game console? I have quit for a month now. I just cannot get myself to go back to the exercising routine. With the schedule crammed up, there is just no way I could squeeze it in. I know it is so easy to find all the excuses in the world. Maybe I really have got to do some soul searching especially about this matter. I remember feeling so much better, physically, whenever I do my workouts. My back is starting to hurt again like before.
But before that, I think I have got to pull the hubby again to get me a pair of running shoes. For some reason, whenever we go to sports depot, I just won’t find the pair that suits me, or atleast the one that I would really like to wear for some time. I think my tiny feet look awful when I try on bulky shoes. Read the rest of this entry »
“What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?”
This is the message I sent to the universe at OperationImmortality.com which, according to the site will be archived in the Immortality Drive being sent into space in October, together with all other messages posted before the end of August this year.
I chose this motto, which you can check using my message ID which is 471, because this is the truth, uttered by a great man named Jesus, who claimed, both directly and indirectly, claimed to be immortal and to be God. He was tortured and killed for these claims but His resurrection backed His claims and the world was never the same again.
By His grace I try my best for this truth to be witnessed in my life. Having chosen a profession based on a calling and not on any other temporal reason I try to live this truth and encourage others to take a step back and look at their lives in light of this truth.
But before that, I think I have got to pull the hubby again to get me a pair of
