Are your children “Joystick junkies”? If I observe children nowadays heavily exposed to video games, I couldn’t help but reminisce my younger years when computers were still “unknown” gadgets.
Play is important to children. When they play, they use toys. The second oldest toy in the world after dolls is yoyo. One fascinating fact is that it started with a young boy from the Philippines named Pedro Flores who moved to the USA in 1920. From then on, the toy enjoyed periods of popularity especially among kids.
Admittedly, playing video games may have its benefits but it takes a physical toll. Enjoy playing yoyo instead. It’s fun and a great form of exercise.

Our family lives a hectic life. Our dinner time is not only a time to eat . We look at it as an opportunity to unwind and spend time with our family members as we talk about how each other is doing. During the graceful evenings, we usually enjoy each others company as we sit in our outdoor chaise lounges in the cozy balcony and feel the cool breeze of the sea ( ‘coz our house is situated in a quiet street near the beach).
Sharing good food, enjoying a graceful evening with the family is great big time!

Plato said, “Music gives a soul to the universe; wings to the mind; flight to the imagination; and life to everything!”
I like to strum my guitar without any EMG pickups but for my friend who is the lead guitarist in a band, tone and reliability are at the core of his music. For him, musical systems can also get more complex. He uses Emg accessories on passive pickups.
Surely, it’s a guarantee that he’ll get great results – lively music. And one good thing about music: “Life without music is like life without colors.”

Once, my job entailed inspection of water sources in rural areas. I had to trek difficult terrains to reach the sources of potable waters like spring water. At the end of the day, I suffered painful blisters, pinched toes and other foot injuries caused by inappropriate hiking shoes. It took me a few weeks to recover from my pains and discomforts.
Lately, I became an expert in shopping for high-quality footwear designed to provide comfort, support and protection I need especially in rigorous and wet areas.
It is very essential to use appropriate footwear because it can add to our margin of safety in rugged terrains and there is great benefit from a perfect precision – fitting shoes. Really, shoes matter!

I remember one of my rides in a motorbike with my husband. We traveled for almost 90 miles and when we got back home, I felt my neck was aching due to the weight of my helmet.
After that incident, I refused to go with him to a long motorbike- drive anymore. My husband is still actively going mobile with it. He procured a better and of high quality heated motorcycle clothing including his gloves, helmet , etc. He still continues to encourage me to come with him for a drive in the rural areas… of course, this time with better gadgets on.
Maybe tomorrow, we will be again enjoying the ride… ” two for the road”…
