Following on their Dad’s Footsteps

Posted by Paula on Apr 23, 2012 in Music | 0 comments

Both my sons are attending the guitar lessons taught by their Dad at church. My eldest has become more serious with his guitar practice as soon as he saw other kids also wanted to learn to play the guitar. So every afternoon after he finish his PACES he practices it on his own.

Meanwhile, my youngest is only 15 months old but his age doesn’t deter him to try to learn. He is already watching a lot of music videos and trying to mimic the artists playing their guitars. He is also attending the guitar lessons twice a week holding his play guitar. He would sit through the lessons as long as he could too.

I’m very proud of my sons. I know they are going to be a musician just like their Dad. Pretty soon they would be asking their Dad to teach them more tricks and how to operate the Hao. I know hubby would be happy to oblige and supervise their lessons.

Back to Its Former Glory

We went to Araneta yesterday to watch the concert of Israel Houghton and the Planet Shakers. It was such an awesome experience that we will never forget. Most of the people were on their feet the whole time singing, dancing, and praising the Lord.

It was the second time I went to Araneta to watch a concert. I noticed the building is really old. There is still the “Thrilla in Manila” banner that they have used in Muhammad Ali’s famous fight in Manila back in the 80′s.

Anyway, I hope they restore it back to its former glory. Maybe they can construct a more reliable steel building in its place so that it can withstand even earthquakes. Maybe the vibrant concert scene in Manila can give them the funds they needed to make its rehabilitation a reality.

Why I’m Hesitant to Try BioFit

I recently bought Biofit Tea as per recommendation of my BIL who lost his extra weight successfully. It has been sitting in my dresser for two weeks now. After I read reviews on the internet on its side effects I have been hesitant to try it. It’s basically like the apidextra review I read earlier on. These will suppress your appetite but will give you jitters and increased heart rate. I came from a family with heart ailment so I’m afraid this might have a negative impact on my health.

Anyway, I guess that means I really have to exercise. My family has been going out every morning to make sure our kids get the exercise they need. I hope it will be enough to make me lose the extra pounds I’ve added in the recent years.

Reminds Me of My Childhood

We went around the neighborhood yesterday. It’s nice to observe what the people in our neighborhood are doing. Some are selling all kinds of food. Others are playing basketball. Then I found some playing bingo. It reminded me of my childhood. Bingo was a favorite past time of our neighbors. Sometimes they are kind enough to let me join their game. That’s how I learned how to play bingo.

Now that I’m a mom I don’t have the time to play bingo. I heard there are free bingo sites online that you can play anytime you want to. You don’t have to wait for your neighbors to finish their choice before you can play your favorite game. I haven’t tried it yet but maybe when the kids are older and I have more free time I can finally play the game from my childhood. I haven’t won a single game so I’m looking forward to winning even one game in the future.
