My Love of Music

I am not a good singer. I was once a member of our church’s Children’s choir but I was never convinced I can sing. Despite my lack of ability to play any musical instrument or to sing, I still appreciate most types of music. Listening to CDs or the radio has always been one sure way of feeling better whenever I am sad or stressed. I listen to all kinds of music but sometimes, I cannot take hard core rock and rap music. I hate it when I cannot understand what the singer is saying at all. There are times when I feel like having loud music at home so turn up the volume of our stereo. There are also times when I just like to listen to music by myself using my sony headphones. Both ways are sure to de-stress me. Try it for yourself.

Thank You, Lord!

Thanks to everyone who prayed for my recovery. I am now dengue-free. My platelet and WBC count are back to normal, although I am still drinking hydrite.

Last week was one stressful ride. The sudden death of a relative, then what I thought was a simple flu turned out to be dengue. Thankfully, we were able to attend the funeral despite my burning eyes and fever that won’t go away. And that when we found out it was dengue, it was not a crucial stage.

I am still recharging but hopefully you will see more of me already here.

Military Games

My husband is a frustrated military. When he was young and still studying, he really wanted to study inside the military academy. Unfortunately, he was not given permission by my mother-in-law. Their family is really small, only two children, a girl and boy. Sending one of them to a far away school, and a military one, is probably the last thing they want to do.

So he ended up taking a course related to computers. His love for the military field has not faded though. He loves watching anything related to it on National Geographic and History channels. He even kids our girls that when they do not behave well, they will be sent to study in a military school as their discipline. As if I will permit it! Hahaha!

In his free time, he plays with our kids or he plays airsoft. Airsoft games can be pretty tiring as they usually play in a jungle setting. I would like to think that everyone can play this game but of course I am wrong. Airsoft is a game that require physical abilities such as agility, focus, and endurance among many others. While it is a team game, one should not be the cause of the team’s downfall.

Others have innate skills of a military person in them. Others build up on them by taking supplements to get ripped. At the end of the game though, what is important is that everybody enjoyed and that camaraderie is built. I believe that is one of he things my husband keeps on coming back for.
