Unique Sporting Goods

I want to tell you about some “hip” new sporting goods I’ve come across lately at a sporting goods store I found online. First, I found these sweet no-tye elastic shoelaces that lock together. You know what that means? No more tying shoelaces for me! These shoelaces eliminate the need for such primitive human behavior. They’re one size fits all and comfortable beyond belief. Frankly, I don’t know how I made it through my life without them. I think these would be great for kids and seniors as well because they wouldn’t have to worry about tripping on their shoelaces anymore. Hmm, maybe I’ll buy these for grandpa. He could use them to go with his lace locks. The other thing I stumbled upon was a compression shirt part of a new breed of steel stretch compression shirts, so I had to buy one. It consists of moisture wicking fabric, which means my body has no trouble “breathing” at all. This shirt draws sweat away from the body, so it keeps me cool in warm weather, and warm in cold weather. It’s the best of both worlds. This particular shirt is unisex, and it’s comprised of antibacterial properties that help to eliminate body odor and permeate a sense of freshness. I like the collar on the shirt as well. Very snug. Oh, I almost forgot. I also came across a bullpen buddy, which is an inflatable batter that helps pitchers improve their technique. Getting that for cousin Schroeder and his brother and sister, Edison and Diop.

DisOrder..

I have no idea what to post next. Maybe I'm just so drained right now and I don't even want to think. So I decided to turn to one of my very dependable friends. Who never lets me down. Who's always there to help me whenever I'm psychologically incapable,LOL! Thanks to you hah! atleast I still have something to post, no matter what...NOSEBLEED!

What Personality Disorder Are You?

You May Be a Bit Obsessive Compulsive...

Meticulous and detailed oriented, you have some irrational obsessions. Maybe it's your super neat closet or washing your hands a gazillion times. You probably know it's weird, but you just can't stop thinking about it. In fact, the more you think about your quirks, the more you have to do them.

Wahahaha, all I can say is... I'm guilty! Yeah, I think i'm a certified OC-OC! I'm defenitely not a perfectionist, but I admit I do have these seremonyas nga required jud nakong buhaton. Like I have to sweep the floor at 4:00 pm, haha..weird nuh! Actually there's more, basta... hmmmm..but I'm trying to control my disorder now,LOL! Infairness, not that intense anymore compared to before.

You might have your disorder too,LOL! If you want to know what is it, you can also turn to my dependable friend..WINK!

Los Angeles Hotels

One of the happiest thing in life is reunions. Long lost friends and love ones finally seeing each other once again or at least communicate again is really amazing. My mom is really happy because we're able to contact her closest friend whom we haven't seen for almost 15 years. Their whole family is now in the States, we're just so happy seeing them even only on cam. Now, I have more reasons of wanting to go to America. I want to be with sissy in Tennessee! Want to fly to San Diego and visit ate jerla and family! And want to go to Los Angeles and see mama's friend. They invited us to visit them,LOL!

Los Angeles..the "city of angels." I would love to be there. Maybe I'll get to see some Hollywood stars,LOL! Well, I think it would take so much planning if that will happen, MEN! Daydreaming again! But, nothing is impossible, who knows... When I'm there, I would like to stay in a lovely Los Angeles Hotels or San Francisco Hotels both places i really wanna visit. I found a site at easytobook.com that can help find cheap hotels for us. They have wide selection of accommodations to book from, for instance like Holiday Inn Los Angeles City and Crown Plaza. They we're affordable hotels, yet very nice and beautiful with worth the money. With all its amazing attractions and destinations, surely California is way breath taking place. So, if you plan to travel there, you can start booking with easytobook...just a click away!

wHy???

My broadband is back...FINALLY! after 98 years,LOL! I've had problems with my connection, then my computer, then the connection again. I talk with the call center agent for about 4 times to explain what the error error is all about, but I think he too was confused as I am...he even called me "SIR" bwahahahah certified najud! But just this morning, I tried to check it again... to my surprise, it was working! But you see, I guess it's really true, a person will never run out of problem. My web cam is messing up so terribly, I want to throw it away!!!! I need my web cam now more than ever. You know why? A family friend of ours whom we haven't see for almost 15 years, and lost contact with for 5 yrs. is finally found! Yes, we are super happy we are able to contact them. So I need my webcam, pro dili sya makisama sa ako karun...grrrrrrr!
Why oh why??? I'm so confused... nosebleed!

Easy to book Hotels

The other day, I saw this local t.v show that featured Eastern Europe. The reporter was all over the place exploring and enjoying. How lucky he is, being able to travel all over the world and yet getting paid. The life of a journalist, I've dreamed to be one. But I guess it will remain just a dream,LOL! Who doesn't want to travel?? I love to travel, specially to places I haven't been yet. Been into several places locally, at least. I admit, sometimes I just want to pack my bags and ride the Rural..haha!

~ Barcelona Hotel ~

~ Glascow Hotel ~

But for me, if given the chance to go to Europe, I want to go somewhere very historical. Like Germany where the Nazis,LOL! And maybe Glascow, the biggest city in Scotland. Where the the past meets the present, and the magnificent Gothic structure! Glasgow Hotels are not that very expensive, right now there are 18 hotels that gives 80% off. No need for advance payment, you'll pay when you check-out!. You can avail all of this at easytobook.com... With the longest list of hotels worldwide, like Barcelona Hotels, Spain, Portugal, countries in Asia, Africa and the Americas. So which one is your next pit stop?

looking for mailboxes?

I've been to so many homes already, knock and entered so many doors and meet different people. I owe this lots to our field service ministry, it has something to do with my religion. One of the first things I noticed on their houses are mailboxes. Why not? It is the first one that greets us every time. But not really. In our locale, mailboxes are not a very in demand, should I say. But really, I do find it important and every house owner must consider having one.

If you are thinking of having a mailbox, don't just settle for something common and ordinary. Look for the best, one that protects your identity, stylish and stands out among the rest. There are many varieties of mailboxes that you can choose from. Curbside and Column mailboxes, wall-mounted mailboxes, locking mailboxes and even vandal resistant mailboxes are among the choices. At Seattle Luxe, you can find the mailbox meant for you. Their prizes are also very friendly and you will also have your mailbox warranty. For every damage and defects, they will repair or replace it for free! A mailbox is just no ordinary thing. It may help you alot, and truly, it thus shows a facet of your personality.

did U kn0w?

These are just some facts and trivias very interesting to know!...

Old Shoe Stories, did you know that...

- To relieve headaches, ancient Egyptians would burn a sandal and breathe the smoke.
- To cure a stomach pain, some early American settlers would lie down and place a pair of heavy boots on the belly.
- At one time, an Arab man could divorce his wife by simply tossing her shoes out of the door, much as if he were discarding a worn-out pair of slippers.
- The best-known shoe story is no doubt the Cinderella tale, There are hundreds of versions of this story told by people around the world, the oldest one in print being chinese. It was recorded in the ninth century, some 800 years before the popular Western Version.

How Old Are You? Did you know that...

You are much older than you may think, whether you realize it or not. Biological science tells us that at birth, a woman's ovaries already contain all the ova, or eggs, that she will ever produce. This means that if your mother was 30 years of age at the time of your conception, the egg that eventually became you was already 30 years old!
That probably does not make you feel older, but day by day, you are getting older. Young or old, all of us are aging, and most us are interested in slowing down that process-if not actually stopping it.
