Another BED Weather

What do they have in common? It's the pleasure of sleeping. lol. It's another bed weather once again... The sun is not around and it's starting to drizzle. Good thing I didn't have to go to work today because it's my day off. So for now I'll doze off to bed and sleep all day just like the sleepy pug and my nephew, Fredric. :)

Go on a Camping Trip with An Airbed

Are you planning to have a bonding experience with nature and go on a camping trip? I suggest you plan way ahead of time so that your supposed relaxing activity wouldn't go awry just like what happened to ours, all because of the worst sleeping conditions we had. And a piece of advice, don't ever forget to bring with you elevated air beds .

We went for a nature trip about three weeks ago in order to celebrate my friend's birthday and at the same time, unwind from our busy schedules at work. In a spur of the moment, we all agreed to go camping at a mountain resort here in Davao City. Our eagerness to make this activity happen could not be quench. And so we made everything possible in a very short time for our planned trip. When we finally got there, the view was undoubtedly fantastic and amazingly serene. We went first for a chattel tour, followed by a sumptuous buffet lunch and last, a short hiking. We basked in the nature's spectacle and almost felt relaxed during the day. However, when we finally decided to retire and take a rest, my friend screamed that she forgot to bring the airbed. Adding to that it was even raining that time. Well what can we do??? We end up sleeping in a very damp, cold, and very uncomfortable mattress. As much as we wanted to blame her for the situation we were in, we can't because she is the celebrant.

If only my friend hadn't been so careless that time, we would not have suffered from such inconvenience. The elevated air beds are waterproof, inflatable, handy and very practical to use. Some are designed to make you comfortable even without a pillow. They are very useful during camping trips, for college students living on boarding houses, or when you simply want to take a sleep outside your ordinary bed. Next time we'll have a camping trip, an airbed should be the first thing on our checklist. And if you ever decide to get one for yourself, be sure to check out first things to consider in buying an air mattress.

Could this be "Bro" ?

Who wouldn't know Bro (a.k.a. Jesus) from the fave teleserye "May Bukas Pa" in Philippine TV? I am sure everyone coming from Philippines knows him, but I don't have the slightest idea what his face looks like. Are you curious as I m? Well here's a picture of him... Got this from my FB account and I'm not sure if this is really him..(macho version eh?) Hmmm... You'll be the judge. :)

Flowerhorn Fish

Last time I featured Maniki, our own Pit Bull dog. This time, let me introduce to you our Flowerhorn fish--- DI. This is by the way the fish of my brother-in-law but since he's working abroad, caring for DI was left to us. I have to say this fish has a voracious appetite! And you know what... his food comes in three kinds -- one for his humpy head, another one is for his shiny look, and the third kind is to enhance his red color.

I used to have various types of gold fishes before, but unfortunately they died tragically when we had a brownout and electricity was cut off for more than 8 hours. I felt bad because they have been with me for more than a year and they've really grown quite big already... Now, I am simply contented taking care of this solitary Flowerhorn. We were nursing 3 other younger flowerhorns, aside from this big one, but since all three were placed in the same aquarium, only one was left alive, and she is still waiting to get bigger.

Online Math Tutoring

When I was in college, I used to tutor my cousin who is in grade school during my free time. I do it for an extra income but mainly to be of help.

The most difficult part was teaching Math. Oh boy! It was really a battle. Although, I have to agree that Mathematics can really be a taxing subject. With all the calculations, equations, problem solving, etc. that you have to deal with, it is no wonder we consume most of our time doing Math.

Bottoms Up

Meet my mischievous nephew, Fredric! As much as we try to avoid giving him junk foods and carbonated drinks, he still manages to get his own way. And drinking cola is one thing he really wants. Whenever he sees one, he would die for it. He would never stop fighting for it and go into tantrums until he has a glass of the unhealthy drink. We are forced to limit drinking such drinks but sometimes we just can't help it, and this is one of those times....

Get a Good Night's Sleep

Nowadays, with the busy and noisy surroundings coupled with the ever-demanding roles we play each day, we find it is so hard to achieve a deep, relaxing and quality sleep that would make one feel invigorated and fueled to last the entire day. Just the other night I went to bed so late because I had trouble sleeping and by the time I woke up, I felt more tired than ever. I had to drag myself out of the bed and went to get a shower hoping to feel refreshed after. I really wish I could have a better sleep next time.

I stumbled upon Sleepwellbaby.com and was really amazed they have these wonderful products all designed to help you achieve a good night's sleep and better relaxation through the help of a sound machine and a white noise machine. A sound machine will give you a soothing nature ambiance with the sound of a bubbling crook, rain, or waterfall and other calming sounds you want to hear to lull you into a deep relaxing sleep. This is really ideal especially if you live in a big and noisy environment. It's like going to a dreamland for a sleep or mountain area without the hassles of getting in contact with mosquito bites and creepy crawling creatures.

A white noise machine which comes in different forms is also another tool which stimulates relaxation and good sleeping pattern. It is manipulated to give a pleasurable sound while you try to relax. Some of the sounds included are that of a mother's womb (best for lulling babies), heartbeat, rain, surf, and brook. I remembered my friend mentioned to me that she can't sleep without turning the television on. For her to be able to sleep, she lets the television on until she falls asleep. I think this is what she needs. I will definitely suggest this to her.

Please Go Away!

I am down with colds for three days now and I am so fed up dealing with it. Clogged nose coupled with headache are worst conditions that just won't leave me...and I still need to go to work...:( I'm sure you all know how inconvenient and irritating it is. I know I just need to have more rest, eat right and take plenty of fluids to recuperate. I've already taken some PPA tablets and hopefully it will go away soon and leave me at peace. Do you have some home remedies that's really effective? Please do share it with me...

Maniki is Pregnant

Our dog, Maniki, a nine-month-old Pit bull was away for her first impregnation. She was away for almost 2 weeks and was sent to my brother-in-law's friend who also breeds the same type of dogs. Now that she is back, first thing I noticed is that she looks a bit thinner. We were told that when a dog is pregnant she has to be on a strict diet. Her food intake is reduced, just enough to sustain her. The purpose of this is to hopefully achieve more puppies for her. She is due to deliver in February. Right now she looks so pregnant and very lazy... always asleep. Her breasts are already engorged, in preparation for motherhood. I hope she will deliver more puppies.

Happy Birthday Ma

Mama with her favorite Apo, Fredric

Today is the birthday of the kindest person I've ever known, my Mother! She just turned 56 and a few pounds heavier. Love you Ma. One of the attributes my mom possessed is her passion to cook and eat good food. lol Seriously, she's a very kind-hearted person that would always think of other people's welfare and last to think of herself. Most of the time, people abuse her kindness because she really doesn't complain. And no matter how many times we remind her to lessen her kindness, she still wont change. I guess, it's really part of her. And even on this very special day, she is the cook. I bought her flowers yesterday to grace the table. I wish I could give her more... For all the love and care you gave us, you're simply the best Ma! Love you Ma, Mwah!
