Indoor Fitness Program
Dec 23rd 2009greenbucksThoughts & Urban Living & Visualizations
Hubby said one time that perhaps we might be needing a treadmill (or other fitness equipment like a rowing machine) at home just in case the weather doesn’t permit me to go out and have my morning share of on-again and off-again fitness regimen. He might be right and the presence of one would not excuse me even if I woke up late 😀
I so need to go back to my early morning routine because the cool days haven’t been kind to me and my resolve to be fit: walking up late and doing a bit of tasting those baked goodies I have been baking does not make me a thinner person 🙁
Oh well, after the Christmas season, as we all say. Sigh.
Before You Dig In This Christmas

With Christmas just a few days away, it is not surprising that so many people are already planning on their weight loss program after the season. Funny that they think fat burners while they eat sumptuous meals during parties held here and there.
Oh well, if it helps them feel better and guilt-free after all those rich and creamy food ingested, so be it.
Maybe I need to think about it too 😀

Big vs Small Retail Stores
Nov 24th 2009greenbucksAround the Metro & Business & Philippines & Thoughts & Urban Living & Visualizations
With these big supermarkets otherwise known as “hypermarket” opening at almost every available space, it is no wonder that small businesses are losing their usual customers.
Where we are staying, a big hypermarket from a big company of malls just opened up. We decided to check it out one time and although we found the usual stuff being sold in their other outlets, it is still a bit reassuring for some that such an outlet exists within a few minutes from where we live. With school children, one does not know when there is an emergency urgency to get something for school to be used the next day.
On the other hand, I feel that the small businesses in the vicinity of this big store, meaning a few minutes ride and drive, are threatened. Good if these have business insurance to back them up in times of need.
I hope these smaller businesses won’t fold up like how I see happening in the rural areas.
