What is it with men and their toys? Recently, my Dad bought a kit from Nitro RC Cars. It was a remote controlled car which is fueled by a special kind of gas. I got so interested so I spent some bonding time with my Dad with this new toy. I helped him in assembling the car then we did a road test. It was amazing. It went as fast as 60 miles per hour and it sounded like a chainsaw. For the first time, I enjoyed doing something cool with my Dad.

However, after the long hours of play, I became more interested on the price. At first I wanted to buy one for myself. But then when my Dad told me how much it cost, I was stunned. I would not even tell you because I am afraid you might swallow your teeth. It was amazingly expensive for my budget.

I bet if my Mom finds out that my Dad bought a toy car that costs as much as our old car, she will probably snap

My mom used to love gardening. Back in our old house in the military camp, she’d buy a lot of flower pots and plant various types of flowers in them. Our new house has a bigger backyard, but the ground is still not very fertile. I plan on buying fertile land and having our backyard redone so she can start on working on our backyard’s landscape.

I hope she appreciates the gardening gifts that I get her. We used to plant flowers in our yard when I was young, and she’d pick flowers and put them in a vase to display in our living room. They were really beautiful.

I guess you can blame her for my A’s in my Home Economics class! She’s always been so obsessed with keeping the house spic and span. We had this humble little home back then, and she’d get nothing but compliments about it.

I hope to be a good housekeeper as her when I start to have a family of my own.

My sister was chosen to be the representative of her batch in an upcoming event for their institute in the university.
I went to her university to watch her compete. Her university is a two hour drive from our house, so I brought my brother along with me. As the match was about to begin our backs started hurting from the heavy bags we were carrying, so we used their gym’s ping pong tables and put our bags above it.

She just joined for giggles and to have fun with her friends, but apparently her opponent took the game too seriously. Her opponent was a varsity player and the sad part was she never even smiled during the whole game.

I feel bad for her, I don’t think she enjoys playing anymore. Everyone was silent while watching them play. Theirs were the only match that no one else dared to speak in.

I’m not saying it’s bad to be competitive, but if it’s that extreme I don’t really think it’s good for your health.

Earlier today my friends and I decided to come to a water spa to relax and relieve ourselves of the stress that everyday living gave us.

I was shocked to see that the place literally had nothing but water. There were various acupuncture therapies that didn’t actually use needles. They called the therapy acupressure. They used water pressure to massage focal points in your body! How amazing is that?

What I loved most about the place was the hot pools. They required you to lean onto a cold metal bar to balance your body heat. The pools ranged from 36 to 38 degrees celsius, and you were required to dip yourself in cool water for 8 seconds after getting out of the hot pool.

It was my first time to get inside a steam bath and a sauna, and I absolutely loved it. The heat was a bit too much for me to endure, but I started getting used to it and it became an awesome experience in the end.

I saw some hot tub spa covers with interesting designs in that place. The spa area actually had an “Alice In Wonderland” feel, and it was amazing. I’d definitely recommend it to all of my friends when I go to work tomorrow.

I remember watching the movie, Sucker Punch. I find the actress who portrayed Babydoll’s face to be quite exquisite. She just looks so young for her age!

The plot of the movie seems shallow, but it really isn’t. At first you’d think the story was about Babydoll, but it was about Sweet Pea all along and her escape to get a life away from all the danger that the anxiety drug treatment centers or rather, center, has given her for the whole time that she stayed there.

I liked the part that happens whenever she dances. She goes through an equilibrium in her mind where she decides on the things that she has to do to help their little group escape.

I heard this movie had bad reviews, but the only thing I can complain about in this movie would be the script. The plot would have been interesting if the script was improved.

I recently watched one of Zac Efron’s movies, “17 Again” with my little sister.

We couldn’t help but notice two things.

1) Zac Efron is just unbelievably cute it’s almost offensive.
2) The backyard is plain amazing.

I guess the first item is pretty much self explanatory, so allow me to express my thoughts regarding the amazing landscape architectural job they did on the backyard.

I have this thing for Flowering trees. I find them beautiful as the flowers bloom, and I sometimes make floral arrangements from flowers I pick up as I walk down the street.

My mom has always loved me for all those bouquets I made her. She says I have a talent in this field and encouraged me to actually start up with our own backyard.

The only thing I’m sure of at the moment is that I want flowering trees in our backyard. Lots of it.

I feel that letters are the most genuine way of expressing one’s feelings.

I went to a museum once, and saw an 80 year old love letter from a soldier at war. As I read his words and his handwriting I couldn’t help but feel touched. It somehow made me imagine being in that situation and receiving a letter whose words are carefully chosen with as much vituperation as possible.

It somehow piqued my fascination for address stamps. I have a small collection of old address stamps in my mini scrapbook. I like looking at them from time to time. It helps me calm my nerves sometimes.

Is it weird of me to find it fascinating– reading letters of people from the past? I somehow can’t imagine what it’s like, waiting for months for a letter to arrive, not even having a hundred percent guarantee that you’d receive it.

I wonder what happens to lost mail..

I have always dreamed of going to jet luxury resorts like the very well known “setai 5th ave“. I wanted to experience the lifestyle of the wealthy, even just once in my life.

I have been saving up to be able to do a lot of things in the near future. I just want so many things for myself even though I don’t have the financial resources for it.

This is why I chose to compromise.

I save a little of my financial income for the future, so in time, I get to retire happily from work and just enjoy the remaining days of my life without the stress that it gives.

What do you intend to do in the future, when you retire and decide to take a look back at the life you’ve lived? Are you doing anything to achieve this goal?

My friend and I were babbling on about the various places we wanted to visit.

I mentioned that London, England was one of my top priorities to go to, and I could die happy if I were able to go to that place. New York would be the next on my travel bucket list. Those two places have always intimidated me so, and I’ve always been a fan of big cities. You can call me a hopeless romantic, but I see a lot of romantic potential in places like those.

My friend worried about her various issues if she ever decided to leave the country. She is currently worrying about insurance quote issues, and I told her not to mind it too much, and told her that all of us need a break once in a while.

I think I found myself a travel companion, guys!

I’ve always wanted a little cabin of my own. My haven away from all the worries that living in the city gives.

Many people have come to dislike me so, and I really don’t mind, but from time to time, I want to stay away and read a good book in a quiet place where all I can hear are crickets or the waves of the ocean instead of horns blaring at each other and car tires screeching against the pavement.

And what makes me excited about having my own cabin would be buying cabin furniture. I keep finding all these cozy seats and pretty tables, and I have to stop myself from buying them because I don’t even have a cabin of my own.

If you know any cabins for sale, please, let me know. Comment!
