What’s Inside Your Bag?

Do you have that urge to look through the bag of a friend and see what’s inside? Just to satisfy your curiosity among others. Perhaps you might want to discover the beauty secret why your friend’s skin is flawless only to find out that she is just using proactiv. 😀

I remember doing a “what’s inside your bag  photo meme” before and I admit, it was fun looking at what other have inside their bags.

Some of the things I featured in that bag meme are still there while there have been some changes. What remained constant is the bag’s weight.

I know heavy bags should be a no-no because there are a lot of not-so-good results when these are constantly carried.  Back pains and pains on the shoulders (which sometimes cause blisters and other skin conditions) are just two of the ill-effects of carrying a heavy bag.

What can you do to prevent these conditions?

  • Minimize what you have in your bag to avoid experiencing painful condition.
  • Plan your day so that you do not need to bring everything at once.
  • Distribute the weight although this would mean having more than one bag.

We Love Books

I have written here that we love to go to Power Books TriNoma.

Reading The Magic Treehouse

While the children are reading in the children’s section, I go over to an adjacent section and look at the recipe books while my eldest daughter browses shelves filled with books she is interested to read.

One time, I overhead a group of teenagers whispering and giggling about looking for books about skin care. One mentioned something that sounded unfamiliar. I searched for it when we got home and found out the name: accutane. Definitely sounds new to me.

Anyway, I would want to get a copy of a certain recipe book when we get back. I’m sure my eldest daughter would again ask me to get that other vampire book for her (rolls eyes).

On a Lookout for a Running Tee

Yesterday, we went window shopping for sports apparel. It was fun looking at shoes, shirts and shorts. I thoroughly enjoy doing this even if the budget (as usual) does not allow me to get what I think I need at the moment.

Plus the fact that I still need to do more sweating (no, I will not succumb to using weight loss products) to shed off the (ugly and) excess mid-body pounds, I refuse to get that blue running tee from Nike Essentials.

Shop Nike for Shoes, Clothing & Gear. Start shopping now at www.nike.com

I want need one!!!!

How Do You Spell Daytona

Our son loves playing racing games and watching racing sports. Currently his favorite is the first season of the Bullrun Season 1 which he watches on DVD. He watched the whole season twice already 😉

So when we were having our Memory Drill games yesterday with two of my students, I was surprised he misspelled “Daytona” when he himself associated the word/place with “Nascar” (yes, where we see those Nascar jackets with a lot of colorful logos) when one of the boys he was having the drills with asked what Daytona is. (The word in the drill was Dayton, actually)

Frankly, I was disappointed when all of them misspelled Daytona since this is one of the racing games they can see in the arcades.

When I reminded them that they all said “Ay, tama!” (That’s right!) Yeah right 😀

Thunbergia Inside the Windows

photohunter

The Thunbergia plant has broken into the third floor windows! Oh no! In this entry, the sun’s rays has “broken” the clouds.

Thunbergia inside windows

Good thing no one stays here anymore. And yes, this has been pulled down and cut.

That is a water tank out there so you can imagine how the vine took over everything, yes it can grow wild when untended 😀
