Bracelet a Breloques

My colorful  Bracelet a Breloques which I ordered from and made by a good friend of mine.

Bracelet a Breloques

I love it and so did my eldest daughter so she had me ask Gelli to make her a set with the colors of her choice: pink, black and purple.

Happy weekend!

It’s Been Awhile

It has been awhile, no, it has been a long time since we last went to our family biking/walking/running bonding time.

Sunday

The thule rack is dusty and so are the bikes. The kids still can’t ride without training wheels and that is something not to be proud of because they are not that young anymore.

I always tell the family, next Sunday we will go do these things again but sleep, that elusive sleep wins over more than anything including breakfast and the need to be fit.

I always tell myself, tomorrow, I will start my early morning walking routine but then either the online lure is more powerful or the bed is pulling me back to its soft comfort.

On Sunday, we will do something different and I am hoping even with the lack of preparation, my legs are up to the task even if I still feel pain from walking and hiking for two days with my school children.

The number “500” is a magical number for the world’s most popular convenience store chain. The opening of 7-Eleven‘s 500th store in Eton Centris in Quezon City marks, not only the steady growth and expansion of the brand locally, but also the chain’s loyalty to its promise to deliver excellent service and quality products to its consumers and franchisers. But the magic of the number 500 does not end there. In celebration of the opening of their 500th store, 7-Eleven also wants to give back to the Filipino community, who has remained faithful and staunch customers since the launch of its first store in 1984, with a special biking tour aptly named the 7-Eleven Tour 500. This inspiring advocacy was created to provide a safe and fun venue for biking enthusiasts of all ages (experienced and non-experienced bikers alike) to enjoy the world through two wheels, while helping those in need and the less fortunate by giving back to chosen charities. The company itself has its own group of experienced bikers who train and joins nationwide competitions.

Manganese in the Water?

I just wrote in a chat room that:

may water kami ngayon (headspin) pero color brown (angry)

which means we have water flowing out of the faucets but the color is brown. Sigh.

There we go again, having waterless or dirty water Maynilad problems. When will this ever end? I don’t know if it is better we have water where I need to look for wholesale water filter or no water at all.

I don’t think I can use that brownish water to bathe my kids nor wash plates.

Manganese? I don’t think I’d want to have manganese in the water, no thank you. Ewww…

UPDATE: no water from August 2 till now, August 5, 2010, 11:20am. Sigh.
