birthday present

My birthday is just around the corner, Saturday of next week. I already made my birthday wishlist a few weeks back. But last night, I changed the top slot on my birthday wish. I was ready-for-battle when I turned on my laptop yesterday. I had a mission that I vowed to accomplish - search for an interesting topic to write on my blog. I was wasting my time, for almost an hour, hopping from one site to another. Until I reached a website that made my day.

I have been wanting to replace our 10-year old television set. And when I saw Samsung 3D HDTV, that want turned into I-want-it-right-this-minute! So yes, this is officially my #1 wish for my birthday this year.

Happy Labor Day weekend to all who celebrate it. And...here we go!

1. Family comes first.

2. When moving to a new house, make sure everything is ready or risk wasting more time going back and forth.

3. I love a good massage.

4. Ungreasy food makes a good (healthy) meal.

5. I've got the last laugh, hahaha!

6. It's raining again: wth!!!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to not waking up early, tomorrow my plans include shopping and Sunday, I want to clean the house after hearing Mass!

Girl Talk #8

Hi Girls! My favorite "red" for this round of GT does not have anything to do with "passion, love, and beauty". I can't live without it though. It goes with me everywhere I go.

Ladies, meet my reliable checkbook. I use it to pay our monthly bills as well as those sellers who doesn't want to give official receipts. Which reminds me, I have to order new checkbooks because I only have a few cheques left.

What is your "red"? Join us at Girls Talk today and every Thursday thereafter.

where is the lifeguard?

My son joined a swim club for a year (or two- I don't remember anymore). The swimmers usually train at PhilSports swimming pool. What I always notice is the empty lifeguard chair. Where are the lifeguards? They are IN the pool conducting swim classes. The payment, of course, goes straight to their pockets.

A major renovation of the swimming and diving pool was done early part of this year. The pool area was closed for a few months. When we visited the pool, when it was finally open to the public again, the same scene greeted me. Yes, the lifeguard chair was new. But the lifeguards, I believe there are two on the governments payroll, are in the pool doing their sideline job.

Everyone who swims or has plans to swim at PhilSports swimming pool should get an insurance first before taking the plunge!
