I’m not athletic but I do enjoy playing some sports every once in a while. Playing sports will be a very good exercise for all us. My best friend invited me to play tennis last weekend and it’s fun. I think that’s the fifth time I’ve played tennis for this month. I even bought my own tennis racket. The first time I held a tennis racquet, it was sort of heavy for me, but I did get the hang of it soon enough. For those who wanted to lose weight, you should try playing badminton or tennis, my chubby friend really lost a few pounds and still counting. You should try inline skates too! My cousins and I used to go to the park and skate all afternoon. It’s really fun especially if it’s your first time. We also had our own set of skates back then. Good times.

If you’re a parent and have kids, you should enroll them in a sports program, there are many available sports for kids out there. They will definitely enjoy playing and learning with the other kids, and meeting new friends. My Aunt enrolled some of their kids to a basketball sports program and whenever I visit them ,they’re all sweaty. You might also want to buy your kids some sports equipments and play with them at your backyard; basketball, baseball, volleyball, etc. It’s also a chance to bond with them while they’re still young.

Exercise is very important, but don’t overdo it because there are consequences like muscle damage, heart problems, and Osteoarthritis. Our body has its limits too, you know.

How about you? What’s your favorite sport? Are you athletic?

Of course, who doesn’t want to earn online? You can see a lot of bloggers and non-bloggers trying their best to earn some extra income. My cousin who’s working for Microsoft — her job has something to do with sales and field work — is earning online as well, not as a blogger but by submitting articles on different websites. A lot of people still opt to have their own blog by registering their own domain and looking for affordable and reliable web hosting.

Before purchasing a web hosting package, be sure to research about the company first. There are a lot of web hosting companies out there and I’m sure that they’re trying their best to provide 100% customer satisfaction and 100% uptime. Some companies do offer very cheap web hosting that comes with a free domain; cheap doesn’t mean that their hosting stinks, some of them are just a nonprofit company that offers very affordable web hosting for everyone to have, own, and enjoy.

If you don’t have a blog yet, you’re missing something big! =) Blogging is just simple, really. If you’re not sure but you want to try it out, you can apply for a free sub-domain from other websites that offers free sub-domain hosting or signing up for a free blog; just search google. Then maybe you can start your own web hosting business too. Earning online might be a little frustrating at first, but it’ll get better eventually.

Recently, I’ve been wanting to buy a new puppy — either a siberian husky or a pomeranian. I originally planned to spend my money to buy another Blackberry Smartphone, almost same price with the puppies; siberian and pomeranian puppies ranges from $300-$600 depending upon the pedigree. I’ve been also searching for some nice pet stores and mobiles at Dallas, TX. Hmmm… if I were to buy a new mobile phone,  I might either buy it by the end of May 2010 or when the Essex has been released. But if I were to buy a new pet, I need to really convince my mom. I asked her yesterday if I could buy one using my own money but sadly, she disagreed. =(

Anyway I was thinking how to earn $200 or $300 in a short period of time. Well I need a little more money to be able to buy a new phone or a puppy; I’m currently unemployed and I’m only earning a little through blogging. My best friend suggested that I should try to pawn some of my things that I really don’t need. It’s actually a pretty good idea, don’t you think so? She told me that she and her family once pawned some of their things when they needed the money for her brother’s tuition fee last year. Well, I’ll find what I can to be pawned. I really need money ASAP! I’m totally excited to buy a new phone if ever my mom won’t really allow me to buy a new puppy yet.

For those who’re interested on pawnshops in Texas, you might want to check  Dallas Pawn Shops and Laredo Pawn Shops. =)

My mom and I visited my great grandmother on my mother’s side last weekend. I was so excited to see my great grandmother! It’s been a year or so since I last saw her. My cousins, aunts, and uncles arrived at my great grandmother’s house after a few hours. I was also so excited to see my other cousins! All of my cousins love to swim, they told me their plan as soon as they’ve arrived; they were planning that all of us should go spend a night on a resort. At first our grandmother was against the plan, she said that we should all stay in the house and bond with our great grandmother but our great grandmother insisted that we should all go and have fun! We indeed had a fun weekend with the whole family and it seems that our great grandmother enjoyed it as much as we did!

My great grandmother is around 90 years old and she’s still strong. My Aunt, who’s a doctor, advised her to use her hearing aid often, but as soon as we came back home from our trip, she wasn’t wearing her hearing aid and said that she lost it. You know, hearing loss is a natural part of the aging process that’s why we should take care of ourselves as we age. Even though her hearing is deteriorating, we can still communicate with her in a normal tone but we sometimes repeat ourselves that’s why my Aunt told her to wear her hearing aid at all times. Well, she’s very stubborn sometimes. While talking about aging, my grandmother suggested that we should enroll my great grandmother to hearing programs so that she could interact with other people, she also told us that all of us should get our vision and hearing check since it will be at the same location. I think enrolling our great grandmother in a hearing program is not a bad idea at all because sometimes she’s home alone, so at least she could interact with other people. =)

My Aunt’s birthday will be in coming up in the next two weeks and I’ve been thinking what would be the perfect gift for her. She’s my mom’s sister and one of my favorites. I was thinking of giving her a watch because she loves to collect them just like my mom. She loves to wear and collect brand name watches like Seiko, Citizen, Bulova Casio, Movado, Invicta, and many more! I really don’t know which brand and style I should buy because she might have it already.

Anyway, I was thinking of buying the Bulova 96R000 (image on the left). It’s so gorgeous!  Hmmm I’ll just ask one of her kids if she has that style or not. If she does, I might buy it for my mom and find another gorgeous watch for my Aunt.

Whenever I hear the word “Math” or see mathematical equations, my brain seem to stop working. I won’t forget my Math Tutor during elementary and high school; she is one of my mother’s best friends. Back then, I used to be stubborn that we sometimes fight because I hate being tutored by her and I can’t really understand a thing when it comes to math. Math is really my weakness that’s why I didn’t take the course that I really wanted — Information Technology; I was afraid I might fail because they told me that IT has a lot of hard math subjects which means I’ll be needing major Math help!

Hmm.. I really have to exercise my brain. One of my professors told our class that whenever she sees numbers, for example a cellphone number, she automatically adds them all to exercise her brain.

Some of my cousins asks help from an Online Math Tutor. They said that it’s fast, accurate and the price is cheaper compared to local tutors. Online tutors are available 24/7 that’s why whenever they have a math homework, all they have to do is go online and chat with their tutors about it as often as they want. It’s so fast and easy. I wish I knew this back then!

I’ve always been wondering how to make your own online arcade. I always see my little cousins playing web games and I think they’re really having fun. I tried playing once and I got hooked as well. I remember way back college, during computer class, my classmates and I always play web games since the websites were not blocked. Our professor doesn’t mind as long as we don’t let ourselves get caught during discussions.

I was bored the other day so I searched the web for some nice online games. I found out that with PHP Arcade Script, you can launch your very own web arcade! Here’s a cool demo. Now I know how they do it! It’s pretty awesome. You can earn too by placing 3 or 4 advertisements. Hmm.. I think I might launch my own web arcade someday! ^^
