When Upgrade Brings Too Much Inconvenience

You know the saying Do not fix when it is not broken? I like this saying very much. I love keeping things simple. The simpler things are, the less prone to error they are, right? Not to mention, maintenance is easy too.

But in this era, upgrade has become a regular thing.

You have a mobile phone that allows you to contact people on the go, which is probably the reason why they were created. Then new units with new features started to come out almost every month, leaving your newly-bought-phone behind. And people, who knows no contentment, seeks that new model. This is true with any other gadget out there.

Upgrade has also become a regular thing for systems. And in this area, things become a little complicated. I am sure, you know what I am talking about.

Mommy Duties

Hi There!

How are you all doing?

I am just posting this quick one to let you know what I have been up to recently.

Well, I have been busy doing mommy duties and some errands to the city hall. I went to the city hall to fix our real property tax declaration. It is fixed now, thank God! The mommy duties, well, the usual stuff, plus more reviewing and assignments. Having a first grader who has new subjects is now starting to become challenging. It is like going back to my elementary days but this time, things are taught earilier. Alex was asked to memorize a four-stanza poem. She was able to memorize it perfectly in three days and was able to deliver it with little actions at school, in front of the class. After that poem, we tackled her first ever project, this time, for Science. It is a research project on the bad effects of certain scenarios to our body. I picked “lack of sleep” and “lack of healthy food in the body” because these are very applicable to her. I wanted her to take part in doing the project, instead of just getting every thing from the internet and just printing it. I made her draw pictures that depict the bad effects. Today, she reported her project at school and was given another commendation. Her story eased away all the stress we went through while doing her project. I am so proud of her!

Sorry for the post title, I cannot think of a more appropriate one. GTG!

Tied to Old Songs

It is a shame but I have to admit, I am tied to old songs. I do not know the latest hit music of this generation, nor the budding singers. Even those I used to listen to, I do not know their latest songs. I am tied to the music of the 90s in particular. Since I graduated from college, I rarely had the chance to listen to music. I kind of miss the loud sounds I used to play when I am alone at home and everyone’s at school. Now, whenever we open our component, we still tune in to a radio station that plays old kind of music. Haha! Once, my husband found and old cd on our case, I told him to put up the volume really high! I just miss listening to music that soothes. Do you think a krk rp5g2 5 at guitar center can do a trick on loud kind of music of these days?
