Be Careful

Rains are here to stay and with it, a lot of road accidents happen.

Slick roads, flood and low visibility are just a few reasons why road accidents happen. It would also be a big help if people take care of the nitty gritty details of car safety. Sure it’s good to focus on making your ride look great especially with nice looking grills or maybe chrome rims and maybe even dodge seat covers but focusing more on the care being road worthy on a downpour is more important.

Goodbye Summer

Posted on May 25, 2011 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

The country is currently being bashed by the third (not sure but since the typhoon’s name starts with a C, maybe it’s the third) typhoon to hit the area. So yes, typhoon or not, we are officially saying “Goodbye Summer”. Swimsuits, swim gears, equestrian boots, sports uniforms and art materials are taking a back seat now for school supplies, books, uniforms, and yes, the dreaded HW: homework.

Schools are opening two weeks from now. The children are not ready yet to go back to school such as I’m not yet ready to go back to my 4am wake-up call to cook for packed lunch.

Time to go back to saving time and energy which for me means taking afternoon naps when I can.

So, students and parents alike, are you ready for the new school year?

Suddenly…

Posted on August 13, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

I never thought I’d say this to myself: I long for a heated blanket.

Unusual, knowing that I can tolerate cool weather except of course in extreme circumstances which rarely happens due to our climate.

The weather has been cool lately all because the rainy season is in full blast. Daytime is another story though. It is the season of “suddenly” as a television commercial says: suddenly there’s rain, thunder, lightning, the works especially during the afternoon. People with weak immune system are getting sick.

Here are a few tips on how to avoid getting sick during these times:

  • get enough rest/sleep
  • load up on ascorbic acid
  • bring rain gear whenever you will go out of your house
  • drink plenty of fluids
  • get enough exercise

I Miss My Morning Walks

Posted on June 29, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Rainy season is at its full blast. Rains in the morning and thunderstorms in the afternoon are common happenings these days. I still have to get my groove back and establish a routine of going out for a walk in the mornings when the kids are fetched by the school service at the ungodly hour of 5:30am. But I haven’t started yet because I only go to the gate to open it for the kids to go out then it is either back to bed or go online or do a bit of house chores for me.

Been looking at treadmills at the department store but whatever kind of tug and turn I’d do, budget won’t allow for that. I must make that a priority once the roof repair netbook new camera semestral tuition fees are all settled. If not, I might have to settle for a rain gear so that I don’t have any excuses  if in case it rains 😀
