My home theater

My son is an avid fan of movies and theater plays. Because of this, I come to think that someday he would be a great director or probably a producer or maybe an award winning actor. To encourage this love for theaters, I built in a home theater in one of our wide rooms.

I got some a theater rope, some lightings, stage and a lot more so that he and his friends could play along. At first, they were too shy but in a couple of weeks, they started making shows. Last week was a great show. It was written by one of his friends who had a really big potential to be a play writer someday. Who would have thought that with just a few adjustments in the room, dreams can come true?

Vegas!

I had a really hard time looking for a place to stay in Vegas especially when it was a few weeks before that Pacquia - Diaz match. It was a good thing that I found one online and booked it immediately. It was one of the best hotel deals that I have ever had so far. It was fast, low cost and very easy to book.

I had a fun Vegas weekend especially because “The Pacman” won another title which makes him the very first Asian to win 4 titles in different divisions. He even ended the match with an exclamation point - a KO. How ever I may put it, it was indeed a pretty great weekend that I had.

Turbo up!

After visiting my uncle in the countryside, I got a glimpse of one his oldest cars. A two-door Acura. It was neat, and it still growls like hell and I bet it is still fast as ever. I was looking at it, touching every inch of it and dreaming that I was in the driver’s seat running the highway at full speed.

My uncle came to me, gave me the keys and told me that it’s mine. All mine. WOW. I could not imagine what to do first. Would I be adding a turbocharger first? A nitrous system maybe?  Now I’m all messed up.

Nevertheless, my Acura will soon growl in the streets. Just wait and see!

Vacation!

After nailing months of hard earned cash, I finally had enough money for a decent vacation. For the past couple of days, I have been very busy looking for the best place to stay at and booking our flights. I’m taking my wife and kids with me. This time, I made sure that I would not bring my laptop and my blackberry anymore. Work could wait until such time that I get home. And as a matter of fact, I already have my colleagues to take care of the business while I am gone. So this time, it will be all rest and relaxation for me.

It’s a good thing that I found this really nice condo hotel through the Internet. Vacation, here we come!!

Laptop rentals

Do you need that presentation going in front of important clients for your company? Did your computer screw up on the last minute? That should probably suck. Don’t worry, you can always check out laptop rentals. Yes. There is such a thing. I never thought there was before, but hey, they have been in business for 27 years, and counting!

If in case you would badly need one, then this rental may be able to save the day for you. They can configure each laptop according to the configuration that you need. If that can’t save the day, maybe Superman will. =)
