It’s free!

My sister is downloading a free version of the vlc media player. She needs one for her netbook and since it’s free, she thought why not?

These days we can get so many things that are free on the net. All we need to have is a sharp mind to determine what’s spam and what’s a legitimate offer. Believe me, there are so many free stuff on the net you will spend days trying to download it all!

Just search and when you find one, make sure to check it before doing anything else.

Bring back the stoplights!

MMDA sign

Pedestrians are rushing and running to the other side of the street. They are playing a cat-and-mouse game with the vehicles on the road, not minding the fact that many others who played the same game have either been injured or dead. As the MMDA sign says… Do not cross the street as someone already died doing so.

Now my question is this… why not bring back the stoplights? It will prevent vehicles and motorcycles from overspeeding. It can prevent the drivers from thinking they own the streets! It can prevent pedestrians from playing cat-and-mouse games, crossing streets even with the danger of getting hit by speeding vehicles.

I say bring back the stoplights!

Changed minds

They talked about going away for at least a weekend. Just the two of them. The kids will be taken cared of by their nannies and their parents. They had two choice destinations and when they were about to make their final choice, their minds changed. They now want to get diamond anniversary rings instead… specifically, a ring for her, an entertainment system for him!

Since they know for a fact that they won’t enjoy going on a trip without the kids, they thought they might as well spend their travel fund for something that will last for a while.

Anyway, they have to wait a few years and they can bring the kids with them to a trip abroad.

Happy senior

Miss Norma is a spinster. She is already 68 years old and living alone in a small house. Her nephews and nieces often visit to check on her and during their last visit, they gave her gardening gifts. She couldn’t believe how good they are to her! They know how much she’s into gardening nowadays. She learned how to transfer potted plants to the ground and vice versa. Ever since she’s enlarged a portion of her backyard to accommodate more plants.

Perhaps she’s been talking a lot about it so her nephews and nieces noticed how much she loves gardening these days. That’s why they gave her more tools to use in her garden.

Extra income

Richie needs extra income because he plans to pursue his masters degree. He is teaching in an international school and since the school is undergoing accreditation, all teachers are required to have at least 12 units of masters degree to be able to continue teaching. The school is giving all non-MA holders a year to comply with the requirement.

That’s why Richie will do extra work on weekends, and when he can. He was once a radio dj and he still has his dj gear with him. He will use it and offer his services to clubs and radio stations again so that he can earn extra money. He is giving himself three months to do the extra work then he will concentrate on his masters after.

He just needs the extra money to be able to tide him over until he gets back to teaching.

Disney World Orlando

I was checking out places on my list that I want to visit before I hit the big 4-0 in a couple of years. One of those places is Orlando, Florida. I want to go to Disney World!

I am following this WordPress designer in Twitter and he’s been to Disney World with his wife and young son a number of times. They also went on the Disney cruise and I was jealous! I want to go, too! Hopefully, soon.

Have you been to Disney World?

Worth the wait

Patsy and her siblings waited a long time for their dream of opening a grocery supermarket come to fruition. It took them years of saving up for the capital investment and now that they have it and more, they are pushing through with the business of their dreams. They are physically, mentally, emotionally and financially ready for it!

A list of inventory is ready and the siblings have talked to several suppliers by now. They also already got a Retail POS System and have commissioned an expert to help them out with installation, implementation and training of their personnel.

It’s really worth the wait. They are slowly seeing their dream come to fruition and any day now it will all begin…

New Zealand

One of the places I really want to go and explore is New Zealand. I just love the idea of a place that is still not too commercialized and there are patches still untouched by modern technology. I know I can’t live without the internet so I asked a friend of mine who lives there with her family if internet is good. Not too shabby, she said. That will do for me.

I may be a city girl body and soul but there are times when this big city girl craves for the tranquility and stillness of the countryside. I believe I can have both my city fix as well as that of the countryside with New Zealand.

I hope the whole family can get a visa to go there this year.

The guitar man

I was once in love with the guitar man. He had a martin guitar and he loved playing a fave song of mine. He would go to my place and just stay with me. He’d bring his guitar and he would play until he had to go home.

It was a period in my life that I will never forget. I cherish those moments even now that we are already older and he’s about to get married. I am happy for him. I have moved on. My only regret is that we could have been in a relationship but I didn’t act on my impulse.

There’s still hope.

There is still hope for all of us. Until our very last breath, I believe there is hope. All it takes is for us to keep the faith and trust in a higher power and take action. There are drug dependents out there who feel as if their worlds caved in on them. But there is still hope for them if only they will seek help in the right place.

And by help I mean getting it at a san francisco drug alcohol rehab treatment center. Seek help from professionals and get back the good life you should be living.

Remember, there’s still hope.
