Guitar

Posted by Denice in , ,

It is good to know that not just my son who love to play guitar but also my niece. At their early age, hopefully we can find best beginners of guitar players out of them. Although if we will be given a chance, we love to buy them Yamaha Acoustic Guitars at musicians friend at musicians friend, but according to the guitar school that we have inquired from, beginner guitars still fit them especially the young standard guitar learners.

Fix It

Posted by Denice in

It is sad to observe that most appliances of today get easily damaged. That's why it is better to buy those expensive but high quality appliances than to regret buying cheap but fleeting one. Last timee, we have some appliances that needed to be fix and even spent a lot for them, since some are newly purchased but just needing some minor repair and can still be used again. Although we saw to it first if we could fix it on our own, and if it will be irreparable, that’s the time we will bring it to someone expert. It's helpful if you know someone who can do a little repair like changing these machine handles, small part replacement among others. Make sure that you know someone who will not take advantage of you.

Blessings

Posted by Denice in ,

We are grateful for all the blessings we have received but still we are praying to buy our son guitar for beginners as he really wants to learn how to play guitar. Although we love to see him playing violin, as long as he wants something we will support him. As a matter of fact, we are searching for a school where he can attend violin or guitar class. Hopefully with prayers we will really be led to the best class for our son.

December is Here

Posted by Denice in

Although the beer month has started last September, we still hear some of our neighbors playing loud Christmas songs early in the morning. Although we are not celebrating it, we understand them. But we notice lately that they are not just playing Christmas song but someone is also singing in karaoke early in the morning. The sad thing is that some are singing like great trumpet mute at musicians friend. Luckily, we don’t use the room on the back side of our house, We wonder if some of our neighbors whose rooms are really close to the house worry about this Karaoke early in the morning.

Concert for Cause

Posted by Denice in

With what happened to our country after the earthquake in Bohol and the super typhoon which has left many people dead and homeless, we could all see lots of foreign countries are really helping us. They have been providing services and answering the needs of our fellow Filipinos affected by the calamities. Private individuals, non-government organization and celebrities are also doing their very best how to help. It is frustrating that there are still some who are taking advantage of the situation. They seem like they have high temperature epoxy on their faces, such that they can still manage to do those acts. Hopefully, with prayers our country especially those who are affected can rise and start again.

Long Holidays

Posted by Denice in ,

It has been two days that we have been working home since our employer has allowed usnot to report to the office anymore because of the heavy raining which causes flooding in some areas of the metropolis. Tomorrow is a non-working holiday, although it seems like a long holiday. I am still stuck with some deadlines and because of that, I don’t even have time to play my lee oskar harmonicas. With this inclement weather, it’s amazing that some clients are still calling for deadlines.

Passport Renewal

Posted by Denice in ,

It is been a while that we have not got a chance to travel outside the country again. That’s why we did not notice that our passport was already expired. Luckily, the Department of Foreign Affairs set up some satellite offices in some malls for the renewal of passport services. Unlike before when you would need to line up in regional or in DFA main offices. Although some travel agencies offer help like speedy renewal. They also offer the services that you will see in passports.com.

Break

Posted by Denice in ,

How I wish we can have another break or a long holiday. We been very busy for the last couple of months that we didn’t even enjoy some of the previous holidays we could have. Hope that we could find time to have at least have a break and relax. I long for our out of town vacation and stay away from home overnight just to have at least a break from the busy and noisy life in the metro. I could not even find time for a relaxation with my friend. Even he didn’t get to use his yoga accessories anymore. Toxic schedule and deadlines in the office really consumed our time..

Invitation

Posted by Denice in ,

My son was given again an invitation to represent his school in a yearly school competition, but this time he is assigned in music category. Last year, he represented the school in art competition and won a medal in a drawing contest. As parents, we would like to expose our kid in any event like this but training expenses is the main barrier as always. It is not like mapex saturn iv exotic sale. You have to pay for his training fee and also the preparation for this event. We will just pray that Kyle will be blessed in this endeavor.

Conversion Cassette Tapes to CD

Posted by Denice in , ,

We consider ourselves music lovers, and part of the proof is almost a big plastic case of cassette tapes as my collection. However, it is seldom that one can find a stereo or any music player in cassette type format. I invested too much in cassette tapes. Some of these are my personal recordings. Hopefully I can convert these all in a CD format so that I can still keep those memories. Even though my my computer is slow, I hope I can still find a better way to convert it.

Close Family

Posted by Denice in

My husband said he was so grateful he is to belong to a family where this is close family ties. He remembered the time when the whole family would be watching in one black and white TV in their living room and used to be eating together in one big dining table. They just had and then they still could manage keeping only two channels airing during that time, with no remote control to use. During this time, every time you wanted to change channel, you had to stand up and walk near the TV to revolve the channel knob. This is so unlike today. Aside from the living room almost every corner and room in the house seems to have TV with lots of channels. Each member wanted different programs or show and prefers to watch in separate rooms. You can’t even exchange talk to your kids in the dining table because some of them have their bose headphones from musicians friend in their ears.

Recordings

Posted by Denice in , ,

We were doing some general cleaning in the house when I have happened to take a glance at my CD collection and previous tapes recording. It was stocked in a big plastic container. When you look at them, it seems to look like a bunch of cd reproduction at disc2day.com because I have personalized the cd covers and cases. I am not sure if those cassette tapes are still working because it has been so many years that I never played them. Hopefully I can transfer them all into cd.

Tea Craze

Posted by Denice in , ,

Teas are not new to this country, but somehow businesses have managed to give them a new twist. I remember that we used to stock tea bags in our house during my younger years. My old folks would usually give me one cup in a hot water every time I would have stomach ache or gas. Until now, my wife would stock some tazo chai tea and different other tea types in the house. Today, bubble tea business has exploded in the last two years and you can see one in almost every corner, with people selling and buying bubble tea with some creative variations. Some do not even taste like tea anymore.

Back To Reality

Posted by Denice in ,

We were blessed to have more than two weeks of vacation to spare visiting relatives in the province, reuniting with friends and family, and seeing some of the beautiful places in Negros and Panay islands. Still, it doesn’t seem enough but I knew that I had to go back to reality of facing the noisy and stressful life of the metro. These days, getting updated with real life is just a click away. Imagine you can just click here for garden frogs, get a view of the seashore from your room and spend a whole day in bed.

Piano Lesson

Posted by Denice in ,

We are very thankful that our son’s piano lessons are Paying off. We thought he was not sure the when we asked him if he really would be taking his piano lesson. We just noticed lately how he loves playing piano and his love for music was developed. He can easily get some tunes especially if he really likes the song he wants to play. Who knows, someday we will see him playing on stage with best monitor stands beside him, with a band around him.

General Cleaning – Toy Collections

Posted by Denice in ,

Having the time of cleaning the house last weekend, I noticed that some of my son’s toys inside the three big plastic boxes almost occupied his entire cabinet. They did not include his die cast cars and airplane collections. Before we moved in to a new place, we have already given almost seven grocery bags full of toys which were not valuable and collectible. If we had more space, it would have been nice to put them inside a glass showcase display to really organize each and every toy.

Wish

Posted by Denice in

My husband used to wish that we would have wins, regardless of the gender, son or daughter. He imagined how it would be to take good care of two small babies at the same time, walking with them in a city mini gt double or carrying them in a baby carrier, the one in front and the other at your back. He said he wouldn’t mind preparing two milk bottles every time they would cry for milk. He thought it would be fun giving bath to two fragile small babies and changing their diapers. After our son was born and eight years after, he realized how hard it has been to take good care of a baby. He will not wish for it anymore but he said even dogs, cats and other animals can take good care of their babies even if there are more than two of them.

Help Care

Posted by Denice in ,


It is really hard to find a house helper that can be trusted these days. I remember those days could still considered our “yaya’ as a part of our family. She used to be acting like  a family member and someone who would care for the family. You can always depend and trust them to take good care of your small kids.  But it is scary now if the one you are hiring is someone you don’t know. It is better to do some background checks for employmentif ever you would hire someone to be your house helper. There are lots of reports now involving house helper in robbery, kidnapping and similar crimes.
