Playing music is one of our family’s favorite past time. It also helps that my hubby is a musician. He is the main musical influence in our household.

He has thought our eldest son to play the guitar. Now he wants to teach our youngest to play another musical instrument. He said he wants something unique like the kazoo from musicians friend that he saw the other day.

Whatever musical instrument I hope my children will grow up playing at least one. It would be a worthwhile hobby instead of being addicted with computer games.

Every night before we go to sleep my little boy would request for some quality time with me. He would bring out his favorite elephant puppet and we would play with each other. He would tell Eli – that’s the name of his elephant – about his toys and Eli would listen attentively. This would be our normal routine every night.

One time he found an old flute. I showed him how to use it by blowing in the opening. He was delighted with the sound it made and quickly copied. Since he is only two years old I didn’t know if he would be able to do it. Amazingly he was able to do it. He had a big green on his face afterwards. This is why I’m thinking of giving him an affordable flute as a gift on his birthday. I’m sure he will love it.

Even though they are still little I know my two precious boys will grow up to be guitar players. They tinker with their dad’s guitar and they like downloading music apps in their iPad. Every morning they go to their Dad, sit on his lap, and request to watch music videos on his laptop.

If they keep up their interest in music I know they when they grow up we will have no choice but to visit one of those cordoba guitars guitar center. They will surely request to buy their own guitars and we have no choice but to oblige. Anyway, when that time comes I know we will be happy to buy them their own guitars.

We have been missing Boracay so we are thinking of ways to have a getaway again. Of course, budget is the main concern. That’s why we’re on the lookout for a cheap pool that’s not too far away. We plan to swim all day and just enjoy life and relax. We want our kids to enjoy swimming again although in the city setting. I want a pool that is well maintained, clean, and regularly treated with pool salt so I won’t worry about being infected with germs.

I think we have found the right pool just nearby in Valenzuela. But first I’m going to check with my husband if he agrees.

We went to Quezon circle three Sundays ago. This is our favorite place as a family. The kids get to exercise whenever they are here. The main feature is its playground. They have lots and lots of play areas to choose from. The best part is its free. Anyone can just go in there and play.

Aside from the play areas they also rent bikes. Although not free, it is our second favorite. They offer reasonable rates for one hour of ride. They have lots and lots of bikes for rent parked on thule bike racks. We usually ride for an hour and by then we are already too tired to do anything else.

As soon as we have our house construction completed I am planning to get start selling furniture in our place. We have a small space at the first level of our house where we plan to display some furniture. The problem is we’re not on the main highway so people might have a hard time finding our store. That’s why I’m planning to distribute some pamphlets and brochures to spread the news around. Hopefully I can find someone who can give me cheap catalog printing so I can print lots and lots of catalogs. If people can’t find us then I’ll make sure I’ll find them, if you know what I mean.

With all these skyrocketing price lists on shoes and clothes, people would obviously go for durable items, if not repairable ones. The best footwear investments would be on expensive rubber shoes and women’s casual flats. They are the most useful, but then most designs are easily recovered with a little help from the DIY experts.

Even if you damage the shoe pads, you can easily find alternative ones to insert on your shoes and go on in using it. In fact, shoe repair shops can be with the onset of internet blogs, although these shoe makers and repair experts can otherwise do the job competitively.

Some tips to consider in doing your own repairs include using rugby than those super glue substances, and as much possible, get your rubber shoes sewn that just glued. It might seem like a compromise but, especially on cheaper rubbers, they would go perfectly and make your fancy shoes last longer.

This year, 17 artists were inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. Among these were The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Guns N’ Roses. Some rock stars felt that some of the inductees did not deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, to the inductees’ fans, these artists are heroes and definitely deserve to be in there.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are known for their instrument playing as well as vocal talent. Their songs have a pop-rock feel, with great riffs, beats and bass lines. Flea, the bassist, uses a Fender Jazz Bass guitar. Many players prefer this type of bass guitar to a precision bass because of its richer, brighter tone. Although this is a jazz guitar, it is used in many genres of music including reggae, soul and R&B. The most popular type of bass guitar in rock music though, is the precision bass. This guitar is used by bands such as Green day, Fall Out Boy and Simple Plan.

Fans of Hollywood and music celebrities love to sit in front of their televisions and watch the award ceremonies, such as the Grammys, the Oscars, the Emmys and sport awards too. Some of the things everyone, including the media, love to see and talk about are the outfits of that the stars wear, their hairstyles, who they bring with them to the awards and of course who the different awards go to.

If you happen to get in and be in the crowd, watching your favorite personalities from behind the crowd stanchion , I’m sure that you would want to look great, especially if the news camera passes in front of the spectators. You might be dressed in some designer outfit and shoes. Your hair would be looking almost as fabulous as the celebrities’, and your face would be all “made up”. One thing that you shouldn’t forget though, is your etiquette and civility, because if your idols wave and smile at you from the red carpet, you wouldn’t want to be caught on camera screaming and jumping like schoolgirls.

Aside from Zack, Lola Puring also celebrated her birthday. She turned 89 years old last November. What a feat!
