Summer is the time of the year! Oh yeah, the time when it is so hot and humid outside, that a fruit that's called watermelon is one best thing! For Triz, it can be any season, any day, and any time! And with a slice of such fruit, given the sweetest one, a meal will be solved. Well, partly solved.

You know very well what a Guinness Gamer World Record is, don't you? Well, for the latest news update, the Backgammon Masters online game operator has recently applied for a Guinness Record for the backgammon dice toss. That will be a history I think, and it will be a great publicity too to promote and announce the backgammon freeroll tournaments every Tuesday and Friday at backgammonmasters.com! Now here's the plan that's such indescribably interesting and unique: To show to the world the record that's worth guinnessing, the act is to toss 2 backgammon dice out of a helicopter 200-300 ft. up in the sky onto a 1 acre-sized gigantic backgammon board-shaped field in a HUGE backgammon tournament. Now that's really huge, eh?

To play backgammon just for this event will take 2 well-known world backgammon champions who will play a full match in a huge acre-size field with a 3-feet in diameter size of a dice, and with staff to move the checker via walkie-talkies communication. Can you believe that? And here's the even greater deal out of such event: The winner of this unique backgammon board game will get to keep the dice which are valued at 1,000 Euro, and such backgammon dice are custom made out of a special inflatable material to withstand the impact of the fall. As to the locations, regulations, and helicopter safety measures of such event, Backgammon Masters have yet been advising the famous pilot expeditioner Quentin Smith who has already crossed the dessert and has reached the Arctic territories.

Exactly 12 midnight last night, my best friend Rutchie all the way from Davao texted me with a Happy Mother's Day greetings. So thoughtful and sweet of her, despite the fact that she, herself, isn't a mother yet. That was appreciated of course. So much. It was last week when swithart greeted me Happy Mom's Day. He's the first to greet me and it was so nice of him, don't you think? But last night at church, everybody was greeting everybody and it was again a good thing. And this very day falls exactly the Mother's Day so to all the moms out there,

 

I am all glad and thankful with Barney and Friends that I am being helped in babysitting Triz. See, I do have a lot of stuff to do here but with Barney, I can leave Triz to her Ate's and she could do things that I don't need to be there watching her all the time. Such a genius DVDs, really.   I did my laundry outside yesterday afternoon and Triz's companion was just Barney after having two of her Ate's gone for their nap and Triz was the only one left in the living room watching it. It's a huge help, really, and I was delighted to see Barney DVDs here that are sold at a very cheap price. Hehe.. The upside of having those street vendors that yeah, sell imit***** discs. I only buy Barney though and they really help.

I and my older sister whom I fondly called Yaya were talking about which kind of window coverings and decors to put in her soon house. See, their house is still under construction these days and it will be finished in the next three months or so, as the plan of construction has stated, but right now, we are already eying on what to put and where. I would have love to use roman shades like what selectblinds.com has but Yaya prefers a wooden window blinds that looks the very exact one like this:

Every day is worth moving on, as my blog says. Whether we are pressed with breakdowns and stumbled with so many problems in life, still, every day is worth moving on. And this article that I have seen which I've enjoyed reading very much is one I would never dare miss to share. You see, all of us will go through the elderly stage (if The One Above will permit us to), and so this will be a good point to ponder. Of course, we young ones right now will benefit on this as well as thinking young is a mind over matter. So let us all be inspired with this 10 commandments for the Elderly {part 1} that I would like to share:

1. Thou shalt preserve thy body in the best possible condition-- a brisk 30-minute walk every day is a wonderful tonic.

2. Thou shalt continue to increase thy knowledge, to anticipate retaining thy memory, and to realize that temporary misplacement of stored facts occurs at any age. Thirty minutes of challenging mental stimulation is a daily necessity.

3. Thou shalt regularly eat nutritious meals of natural, unprocessed foods-- eating slightly smaller portions and selecting foods with more care. Aim for a lowfat, lowsalt, high-fiber, and chemical-, alcohol-, and caffeine-free diet.


5. Thou shalt preserve a good self-image and a healthy level of self-esteem, realizing that there is no substitute for the wisdom of experience. Sharing the gift of accumulated knowledge is a priceless legacy to succeeding generations.

So you see, those were said to be commandments for the elderly, but if you take a look at that deeper enough, you will learn that we too can benefit on such things.
  

I never knew that studying online is just like going to the school in person. When my older sister went abroad a decade ago, she was working as a domestic helper in Qatar, but she was also taking some time getting a degree in Language Literature at a very well-known university , Oxford University, but she did it via online. Yes, she was the first person I knew who was able to finish a degree at an online campus. Everybody of course was so proud of what she has accomplished. When I took up my college education, it's then that opting for an online course became so much talked about. But I haven't chosen to go on one considering that I took up Mass Communication major. And aside from that, online schools here in Philippines doesn't work that well unlike in the US and in Europe where online education is pretty much just like going to a real school. And when I stepped foot in the US and stayed there for more than three years, that's when considering taking a course online became a reality. Yes, I did start to study Medical Transcription, sort of a continuation for my SIL's course as she was the one who started it. It was well and good, because online instructors were available whenever you need them. And having taken a course online, I have learned about Kaplan Open Learning Education where Online Management Courses on Business, Marketing and Sales, Entrepreneurship, and Internet Marketing became the most talked about online university.
