Ezy-Roller for Adventurous Kids

So, after I had written about cool Christmas present for children and for adults, have you made your Christmas list? To date, it is only 43 days to go before the season of gift giving. I’m sure you don’t want to tire yourself during the peak season of buying gifts for your godchildren and your precious kids. I suggest that as early as now, you make that list and think of wonderful gift ideas that you would want to give the kids… and the kids at heart as well.

Ezy-Roller

For adventurous type of kids, you might want to give them the Ezy-Roller. Unlike those that I found at the mall, this roller comes with three-wheel cart. It does not have any pedals, chain, or batteries. It simply moves forward as you move your feet. I know you’re familiar with this motor feature for it had been widely showcased on malls. But of course, I see this one’s more sophisticated and of higher quality. For a price of $99.99 of red, pink, or turquoise blue Ezy-Roller you’re sure that the recipient of this gift will enjoy it for 11 long years as it is suitable for kids aged 3-14. For safety purposes, a handbrake is built in the roller and maximum speed is about 12mph.

If your kids, on the other hand, are of home buddy type and who would love to play just around the house or in the backyard, a nap mat would be something that they’ll surely appreciate. But this gift will not be restricted to these reserved kinds of kids. This will also be a welcomed gift to those who love camping or mountaineering. It rolls up and has a Velcro closure with carrying strap that made it perfect for traveling youngsters.

But if the recipient would be someone that is kid at heart, like me, I would really be grateful if you buy me these personalized pillowcases.

And I’ll definitely love green. You'll find all these gift ideas from Posy Lane.

Finally, My New Balance Power Run Race Kit

Finally! (Yes, I said it with a deep breathe.) Earlier, during lunch time, we claimed our race kit from The White Hat, SM Annex North EDSA for the rescheduled 2009 New Balance Power Run. We have long been waited to claim our race packets for it was just postponed last September 27 because of the raging Typhoon Ondoy.

I love both singlets (from New Balance and from White Hat). So, it's worth the wait.

Why Choose Direct TV?

I had confessed that I have never been a movie nor TV buff; mainly because I find entertainment in blogging and social media sites alone. But yes, seasons change, and so do I. I had wholeheartedly bid goodbye to today’s infamous social network, the Facebook. I barely use Twitter. Instead, the social media sites had become my online photo album, and free link advertiser. With this development in my individuality, if I may say, I become more inclined to watching movies. Remember my post about the 3 movies in a row? I more of enjoy watching now, learning stuffs from the film, and of course blogging about it.

Last time, All Saints Day, I run scarce of movies to watch. So, I happen to just watch what’s available, but not truly entertained by it. And so I remember about Direct TV. This has already been a hit now for those who breathe televisions. It provides access to over 130 HD channels. See? If we have such, I would never be forced to watch something that will surely just lull myself to sleep; and not trigger my heart on any emotion that the film wanted to impart on me.

In my process of learning about DirectTV, it really shows how it overtook the popularity (and I believe quality) of other Cable TV providers. To sum it up, here are the main reasons (In addition to the one that I mentioned earlier) why there are more or less 18 million households that chose Directv:

1. Worry-free signal reliability
2. 100% digital picture and sound on each channel
3. No equipment to buy and no start-up costs
4. Rated #1 in customer satisfaction

Fairly enough, it had been the top pick of every household. As for me, it is the number of available HD channels that made my eyes wide-open.

My Third... and Counting

Now that my angel is running with me, I believe I will be able to push through with this new career. Hence, I was able to have my third run yesterday, The Philippine International Marathon 2009, A Run for the Pasig River at the Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park, Manila.

Actually, I (or shall I say we), don't intend to join this event since we are already running the 2009 Timex Run the following week (November 15). But the invitation had been sent by our HR, and they pledged to sponsor our run. And who are we to say 'NO', he he he. They (our company) even provided 2 service for the event. We are composed of 15 unofficial Strathlete Runners (and 1 - my angel).

I woke up around 3AM. I rang my angel and checked if he's already up and getting ready. My breakfast had only been hot milo, cheese stick, and fried egg. Unlike my previous runs, I was able to get into a bus immediately. However, the bus I am riding was caught in an accident at the Clover Leaf after Camachile. And so, I alight the bus and wait for another one. Good thing, my angel's bus is just on time to pass by the same location. We both arrived at GMA-MRT station (the meeting place) around 30 minutes late.

Upon arriving at the venue, we took some photos before we proceed to the STARTing line.

The Strathelete Runners (Leo, Shai, Jem, Cris, Pedz, Soc, Madz, Carlo, Manny, and Cristy)

A few minutes before the 5k gun start, I felt I need to pee. And so my angel accompanied me. But while on the queue (which is quite long), we heard the 3K gun start. So, we decided to return to the STARTing line and just hope to pass by a place to pee along the way.

I tried the running technique taught to me by my angel. He noticed that I am not running the right way last Adidas KOTR 2009. I don't feel any weight on the new running technique, but my legs began to weary easily. And so I have to stop after 15 minutes of running or so. Besides, it was real hard to run while you are feeling the call of nature, LOL! Luckily, we pass by a spot to answer that call. But it was still a long line, other runners respond to nature's call too.

I am monitoring our unofficial time with my watch then. But I failed to deduct the time wasted on the nature's call thingy, ha ha. It had been a fun run despite of the crowd. The emcee stated that there were a total of 11,000 participants from the Universities alone. But here's one of the many participants that somewhat make me run instead of walk :P

Who say's running requires two feet?

I even heard spectators cheering for him. And so, after 54 minutes (including the pee time), we cross the finish line at the same time once more.

A few steps away from the finish line

FINISH. Crossing the FINISH line, you can't buy that feeling.

I almost always felt that I can still run the extra mile every time I will cross the FINISH line. I guess it is too to a lot of runners. Possibly, it's the feeling of fulfillment after crossing that line. We had a few more picture taking.

Complete Delegation with our Certificates of Completion

With the PhP250 registration fee, the only thing that had been provided after the race were free water and shower, LOL.

Winner (in my own right)

Break a leg! See you on our next run: The 2009 Timex Run.

Welcome Back

It's been months since I lost something out in the wild. I had done everything to have it back. But, I get tired and thought that it won't came back anymore. Until one day, it's back!



Yeah, my Page Rank is back! Yipee!!! Welcome Back!

This is another testimony that when you lose some, you win some. I lost Chickie, but I win my Page Rank back. BUT, I could have still wanted Chickie over Mr. G's Page Ranking.

Debt Consolidation and Mortgages

Do you have credit cards? How many do you own? Me, as of this writing, I don’t own one, and I am not planning to have one either. I am really not into the debt thing as much as possible. But I know a few who had a number of credits cards, at least 3. I know it is a headache to handle bills of payment of these credit cards, and it will sometime be cumbersome to your budget. The most convenient way to resolve this dilemma, if credit card is unavoidable, is through debt consolidation and mortgages.

I had heard several facts about credit card and their interest rates on unpaid bills. Most cards do not offer equal rates. Hence, consolidating your debts, via transferring credit card debts to a single card with the lowest interest rate, will truly suffice your need to save a little more of your budget. This strategy is one of the Debt Management Plans that one can apply on his current debts.

Having performed such management plan, you’ll be able to:

1. Reduce Interest Rates
2. Lower Monthly Payment
3. Reduce Collection Calls
4. Re-aging Credit Reports
5. Stop Late & Over-limit Fees

It was a handful of benefits!
