Happy Christmas

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email The Christmas celebration we have had was just blissful. Though it was not that loud unlike all others. We didn't have Blackstar Amplifiers at musicians friend, literally, lol. But hey, we did have our share of the Christmas fun.. The kids especially liked the concept of gift giving as much as the gifts they have received. I love how it has made kids and grown ups happy. 

On second thought, I feel it is the deep appreciation of having a family around to celebrate Christmas, while all other persons don't.
Have a happy holiday everyone..

Gain..

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email So it had been a crazy week. I have gained weight. And uring weigh in, I was fined for gaining weight. ugh! Sad. I know it is my fault, and I know it was really very bad. I was stressed thinking about the rushed gain as of Monday, and was never able to hold it off until this evening. Just two pounds more, I would have been able to bounce back.. Now, the next time I think of so many things, maybe I should just think about something else, like where I could get a great acrolite snare or whatever else to think about.. Check Related Links:

The Guys

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email So the guys were all round up for a gig, only to find that the cheap amplitube broke. So they ended up in the cafe in the midst of the rain and the strong winds that blew harder by the minute. It was fun having the guys at the cafe, they were musically endowed that even during storm lock up and being stranded, we had the chance to have fun and free music flowed through the night. It is such a shame if they wouldn't be given a chance to go higher than what we expect them to accomplish.. Fine talents need to be supported every step of the way..

Budget Come To Me

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email I am thinking of buying a cool lo-215 loar at guitar center but eversince I was on a wellness program, my budget seemed to have not been coming around. I am not really complaining because I have the best program so far. I have been able to lose a few and gaining has not been occurring since. In fact, I am much more excited of what will transpire in the next few months. I have seen how effective the program is with all the other people who have used the program so I am confident that I will also have guaranteed results, provided that I do things properly, and according to my wellness coach's instructions. And since it is quite costly, I will somehow have to compromise on the other parts of the budget. Check Related Links:

My Little Volleyball Player

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email Last Saturday, we were supposed to go to Malaybalay as early as five in the morning, but because Lili had a scheduled game at seven in the morning, we opted to go to Malaybalay after. This photo is just one of the many that we took while killing the time as we waited for the game to start..

Unfortunately, there was no game and only a few students came. So we went home to prepare for our Malaybalay trip. It was when we reached home that we learned that the game had been cancelled. It was too late to say that we missed a lot in Malaybalay as we arrived after lunch already. Anyway, I was thinking of this new hobby of my daughter and I am glad that we can now save on orange county drums at musicians friend as her hobby shifted. Check Related Links:

I Wanna Run!

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email I have been doing what my wellness coach have been telling me. Add to the knowledge and application of THE SECRET, I think I have been getting positive result for seventy days already. I am so happy that the idea of using an orthopedic scooter last May just isn'y in my mind anymore. I love the feeling of being light and being happy with all the positive results of our endeavor. My next plan is to run. But my wellness coach says it is not a good idea yet. A simple walking exercise is what I have to start with. And I guess I have to follow what is being said, otherwise I may just get in trouble. Anyway, I can already run when I am already able to. Soon! Check Related Links:

Security

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email Who knows where we can buy a taser gun here in our city? Robbery and snatching have been rampant already that going home late at night is also a very difficult task, as one would assume that keeping one's self safe during the journey home may not be that easy. 

If you ask me, it will never be an easy task. What with the tandem riders all around, and one would think it unsafe to even be near them. But I trust that the city government will do its part in keeping the city safe and secure..

Priceless

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email Lili's birthday was a blast. She was so happy that she gave me a self made thank you card made from paper and crayons, for which she drew a heart, and her words of thanks. It may not be fancy like the ones from http://www.zooprinting.com, but it sure is worth more than a million.

I am glad I have raised my daughter to have an attitude for gratitude. She is thankful to all who greeted her, for all the cards, text messages, Facebook messages and many others that gave her the warmest feeling on her natal day.

I also felt very happy when I received her thank you card..

Strumming My Pain...

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email My brother hurt himself during basketball practice at school. When he reached home, he complained of painful joints and that he was burning hot. So we sat him down, made him drink plenty of water then made him rest till he fell asleep. When he woke up, he was already feeling better that he started to play games online, and when he saw that page where gibson les paul standard was featured, it was like he was all alive and started jumping in excitement, saying that he wants one.. 

So now we are thinking that he is having some change of heart, or is it just a fleeting romance with the string?

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email What is this? It's Miami Heat vs Spurs, and people on FB have been flooding the walls of FB with their posts, shout-outs and all others. Funny how some seem so serious that they forget friendships and dive into the abyss.. But of course, there are still others who would simply go about their way and ignore all the flooding because they may be busy with their silver bullion investments online, or those busy playing Candy Crush, hahaha.. 

But what I am really amused of are the heated words, as if they are on a word war of some sort--- only to be converted to fans of the opposing team.. Hahahaha..

CHAMPION!

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email Last weekend, my baby brother's school basketball team won as Champion in the Jolas Cup 2013 10-under category. I was very happy for the boys although I was not able to see the full final game but my brother and his girlfriend was there along with my sister and Lili. Later that night, he had his circumcision done by my brother's girlfriend right here at the pad. And since he could not move about after being circumcised, we told him he must busy himself with playing bass guitar and not chase basketballs for the mean time.

The Masters

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email Who do we refer to as The Masters? Naturally, they are the people who are so good at something that they are willing to train a new breed of people who may take their place when they retire. Well, that could be the traditional way of seeing it. In other contexts, masters exist just as slaves do. And they are the people who can give or take what was rightfully given at a specific time. 

So okay, why are they called as such? It depends on the title and the person for which such entitlement is addressed. Over all, it is he who is above the many that is addressed as a master.

Who is Better?

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email

This is taken from a real event, people and circumstances are changed for privacy.. Here it goes:

A Bronx Accident Lawyer and a skater argued that he is better than the other. Each had his own reasons and each wanted to win. Apparently, both are eying the same maiden who do not like the two of them, lol.. And what's worse is that, they both know this fact..  In order to stop the two from bickering, the lady thought of a plan. She asked someone to pretend to like the other, while she pretended to like the skater. They worked up the plan to be obsessive with each guy, until both actually lost their interest in any of the girls.. 

The plan worked. But the question now is, who did it better? At this point it wouldn't really matter. But to the two girls, each wanted to know--- hahaha

At Least..

He used to be a great soccer player, and now he is a gantry crane operator in the middle east. Something that he never planned to do in his life. Something that just came out of a dire need to escape, and a dire need to make money because he was broke. I am sure a lot of people who were happy go lucky in their youth, could relate to what this person is going through. When parents die, and one is in need of salvation, he or she will do just about anything to survive, including working in conditions that have been previously unknown.

It is good though that this fellow has learned to make money on his own, rather than just accept  easy subsidy from siblings...

First Time to Play...

My brother had the greatest time today... He played basketball for the first time, with an opponent..

 
See, their team joined the Jojo Lastimosa Cup, and they signed up for age 10 under..

There are five new members of their team, and they were all given a chance to play too.. They are not experts unlike the older members of the varsity, but surely, the score speaks for it all.. 

Best part is that all the kids in their team, as much as the parents and relatives, enjoyed the game.. We all had fun.. Well, tomorrow, they are going to play again..

Yes, wine is good! I can not believe that I would be saying this after emphasizing to my students that wine and all alcoholic beverages can be bad for them. Hahaha.. Now I have to emphasize that everything should be taken in moderation. I am not saying this because I want alcoholics to plunder the planet and rid people of peace. I am saying this because somehow, wine can help a lot, especially after eating a heavy all-meat meal. I swear, I have been helped by wine-- red or white, both did wonders for digestion..

Well this dude is a one man band, and he proudly said that his instrument is made by him, especially for him.. In fairness, he is a good guitar player...

Tools for Modern Men

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email Whether camping in the wilderness or laying out a sleeping bag in a dorm room, modern men (and women) need some basic tools, including a good, sharp knife. Multitools by Leatherman and Gerber are always popular, but dedicated knives are an absolute necessity. Kershaw® knives fill this niche nicely. A good utility knife can cut through wood, rope or fabric when outdoors, or a loaf of bread when in the common kitchen. When purchasing a knife, be aware of how the knife is used, and bear in mind the level of maintenance required. Any amateur chef knows that knives are not created equal. Just like the kitchen, choosing a general utility knife requires some sense of how the tool can be used. When up against wood or hard materials, be sure to invest in a hardened blade that will resist dulling. When slicing delicate materials, a sharper serrated edge avoids damaging the object. Your Kerhsaw craftsman knife has a particular use that it was designed for, and purchasing the appropriate model ensures it has a long and useful life. 

Kershaw useful knives only stay useful with appropriate maintenance. Knives can be sharpened against wet stones or metal sharpeners, or even leather straighteners, but the key is to follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be aware that serrated blades especially require careful sharpening to keep their edge. Whatever you do, don't continue to use the blade without maintenance. As the knife gets duller, sharpening it back to a fine edge becomes more difficult. Your utility general knife stays with you for many decades if treated right.

A utility knife is a great necessity for any person who likes to live simply. Whether camping or moving into your first apartment, a good knife is like a best friend. When shopping for knives, always ensure that the model matches the anticipated use, and take note of how and when to maintain the blade.

It's about time people do away with all the negativity around...

Subscribe to CDO EXTREME by Email What would you be thinking if you are invited to a party and you are lead to the back of the house where you find cushions on the patio, and candles lit along the pathway? I presume you'd think that the party may be too personal or adept to the spiritual side of people. But somehow, it may just also be part of the theme. Well, a lot of themes go that way, specially in decorating, for as long as the guests will wow in it, or feel equally comfortable as the host. 

A friend of mine has spent her life thinking up ways to jazz up a party or simply make it fabulous. That is just one of her ideas. I love it.
