I Miss the Cold Mornings

Mar 7th 2010Around the Metro & Environment & Health Matters & Philippines

“Ang init!” is everyone’s mantra these days to think that summer just started the other day. The heat is unbearable and it seems that everyone wants to eat halo-halo and/or drink fruits shakes 😀

Cooler destinations are crowded of course, especially those nice houses with Amish fireplaces where one can sit in front of to counter the cool weather.

Ahhh, I miss those cool mornings when I take my morning bath and my teeth are chattering. The heat is just so much and we are taking a lot of precautions so we will not get sick.

So, what are your summer destinations?

*ang init = it is so hot!

Shopping for Digital Cameras

Mar 7th 2010Digital World & Money Watch & Philippines & Visualizations

It is now officially summer in the country and I am sure a LOT of people are now canvassing stores, browsing websites and asking those “in  the know” about the best digital cameras available in the market today, within their budget of course.

I know a lot of people would drool over DSLR, thinking these cameras would make them great photographers. Hmmm… ok, I joined a group in Facebook that says: “Hindi Porke’t May DSLR ka ay Photographer Ka Na” which roughly translates to “Not because you have a DLSR means you are a photographer”

LOL, bitter.

Photography is one of the “in” things these days, aside from running a marathon, blogging and playing Plants Versus Zombies 😀

Still as they say, it is NOT the camera that makes you a photographer, its the way you take photos that makes you one.

Me? I’m not a photographer and I won’t even pretend that I am. I am a hobbyist 🙂

Summer Travel

Apr 19th 2009Money Watch & Philippines & travel

The children are currentlly vacationing down South where the beaches have fine powdery white sand and the air has a tangy scent 🙂

Yes, I really wish we, my husband and I could be with them to enjoy being together and have fun memories

Sending them off was no easy for we had to know a lot about travel deals and choose the perfect time and ticket price that is affordable and would not burn a hole in the pocket 🙂

Some people I know were able to save on half the ticket prices because they booked their travels almost half a year before the travel time itself, clever ones!

They are enjoying their vacation with their cousins so far s I know that being away from home is worth it

Summer Shopping List

Mar 8th 2009Money Watch & Thoughts & Urban Living

Sleeveles tops.

Short pants.

Flip-flops.

Swimming gear.

Sun block.

These are just some of the items we need to get to be ready for summer, especially if the plans to have the children go to a vacation down south, these would come in handy for them to enjoy summer days without feeling hot and restricted with their movements.

So yes, I admit, I am forever on the lookout for sale events happening in the nearby malls.

Who knows, I might even get me and my hubby some new gears too, now that we have started to get involved with running and walking together  🙂
