Laptop has a pop-up message for me: Low Disk Space. Oh no! I’ve got extra space in Picasa for 5usd/year but I haven’t put most of the recent photos there. Blog photos are mostly in Flickr.

I also made my Facebook page a storage of recent photos, saved in original size, just in case I may need to rely on data backup solutions, at least I have some of these online. I just hope Facebook won’t have a big viral infection and sneeze and cough out all these data.

And I hope Facebook won’t ask subscribers to pay for extra disk space used in photos.

We don’t just clean because we want our homes to look nice. We clean because we don’t want to get sick from diseases from unsanitary and ewww dirty sources.

According to a USAID 2008 data, 77.8 billion pesos are lot every year due to poor sanitation. Not only that, if only we have a clean and sanitized surroundings, 1 life for every 20 seconds can be saved.

I re-tweeted earlier:

We can expect 24 to 36 degrees Celsius today, and residents may want to keep out of exposure to the sun between 2 and 3 p.m. -PAGASA

The heat is unbearable. We registered a scorching 36 degrees at 3pm today, if what I read was right. The bed, the furniture, almost everything one touches feel hot especially during early afternoons.

There it goes again, the heat wave. I’m afraid of these scheduled power interruptions because power supplies can’t support the load. Should we consider getting honda generators soon?

On second thought, I’d rather experience heat than have strong rains that contribute to flooding and destruction.

Hubby and I watched The Proposal at BlueWater Day Spa Cinema Theatre in Ortigas last week.

An added surprise was seeing my niece there! Woot!

It was a lovely experience watching this romantic and super kilig movie sitting on comfortable and big seats. The massage therapists came to give us a much needed massage. She kneaded my stiff back with magical fingers. It was such a lovely experience, watching a movie in a theater with a few people in there while being massaged for several minutes.

This is a perfect venue for a sparty or even a pre-wedding bonding among friends 🙂

As I read several brochures in the lobby, I saw a husband and wife promo for a massage. Hmmm… this is a perfect personalized mothers day gift.

After our late night dinner, I went straight to bed and had a long relaxing sleep.

Here is another post I wrote about BlueWater Day Spa in Capitol Hills.

The kids are with my mom for one more week of summer vacation. I miss them so but life goes on and as much as I want to join them, I still have responsibilities with my teaching work.

Hubby and I will have these remaining days as opportunities to have our morning or late-night run together. We are scheduled to have a run later after we watch Senakulo at a nearby church.

It would be nice for us to have a relaxing day together to watch the HD screening of THE PROPOSAL at Blue Water Day Spa since we won’t have to worry about the kids being left out.  That would be a great post-birthday treat for him too since he is celebrating his birthday today which is a Good Friday.

Thank you, LittleRunningTeacher.com, WhenInManila.com,  BlueWaterDaySpa.com and  the Little Running Teacher fanpage if we get chosen to win a pair of tickets to this exciting and relaxing event.

Woot!
