Musical Family

February 8th, 2012No Comments

I really want my kids to learn at least one musical instrument.    I tried to get my kids into playing the guitar in their first year; but it seemed that they weren’t that interested.   Also, they didn’t have much support at home because the lessons were only once a week.    I was thinking of picking up from they left off, and get them into guitar again.   Now, I just need songs for the guitar to keep them interested.

Musical Gift

February 1st, 2012No Comments

My father-in-law’s birthday is coming up, and we want to give him something special this time.    He is very fond of music, particularly with the guitar.   We are looking at a few gift options, and one of them is getting him a new guitar.   Of course, it won’t be just any guitar.   It has to be a top of the line archtop guitar that he will surely love.  He already has a guitar now, but I’m sure that he will appreciate a master piece such as this one.

Pin Me Up

February 1st, 2012No Comments

I’ve always been fond of collecting little like stamps, bottle caps, and coins. Lately,   I’ve grown a liking for pins.    Of course there are different kinds of pins that you can get.   I like custom lapel pins the most.   They are very nice to collect, and quite easy too.   Of course, I end buying some.    I even have a lot of custom ones that I had ordered online because the designs are quite good.

New Year means New Stuff

January 18th, 2012No Comments

For me, I always try to usher in the new year with something new for the home.   Nearly every year now, I have been replacing an old item around the house with something brand new.    This year, I decided that our printer needs to be upgraded.   After all, it’s now a three year device. Of course, it still works.   I’m just thinking that I can one of those new laser printers that are just on sale now.    They’re newer, and have more features than our old one.   Maybe next year I’ll decide to replace something in the kitchen just for a change.

Luck Up

December 21st, 2011No Comments

A lot of people just get a lot of the luck in the World.    Even with auto estimating they just get a break and catch a good one.     I’ve always tried to get good rates from our local shops, but they often give me a hard time.    This year, I had it good. Luck up is the word.    I found a good service, and my motoring will never be the same again.

Christmas Gifts Anyone

December 7th, 2011No Comments

Christmas is just around the corner now, and I am still short in gifts to give my friends and love ones.    I did some shopping today, but I probably still need to go to the mall in the next few days.    I’ve already a few ideas in mind, and some of them are discount computers for our friends, who are just starting.   Of course, there are lots of bargains to scoop up. I just need to do the leg work and go to the stores.

Summer Fashion

December 7th, 2011No Comments

I know that is time to bring out the short shorts, and the cool clothes.    But the weather here in Melbourne doesn’t seem to feel like it’s already summer.    I still see a few people wearing their winter jackets when they are out and about.   Of course, it is only during the early morning and late evening that we experience the cooler weather.    Nonetheless, I still want to feel the summer warmth to get into the groove of summer fashion.

Back to Back

November 25th, 2011No Comments

A lot of people seem to forget that they are only humans, and that they cannot constantly subject their backs to abuse.    Our spine is an important anchor for our bodies.    Without it, we would be able to sit up straight let alone stand up.    That means no more of the normal stuff that we can do. Yes, there is minimally invasive spine surgery out there that can fix problems with our back.    But ultimately, the best way to keep our way of life is to take care of ourselves more.    This includes taking care of our backs.

New Car Alert

November 25th, 2011No Comments

Now that our car loan has been fully paid, we are on the look again for a new car.    This time, we want a bigger car.    I am confident in driving now, and so any car will do.   I do prefer a family car, something that can sit seven persons.   I also want to give the kids more space in the back.   I don’t mind having a trailer hitch too.   In fact, I would love to drag along a trailer with our new car.

Relaxation to the Max

November 7th, 2011No Comments

I always consider sleeping on my old bed as a relaxing rest time, but I just realized that there could something even better.    I just discovered that it would be more relaxing with a heated mattress pad to lay on.    It’s what I would call relaxation to the max.    Of course, there are other ways to pamper myself; but for me, a warm bed is good enough.
