Hunt for a Guitar Case
My 1983 Fender Sratocaster JV is in need of a new home. The current gig bag that I use is many years old already and is almost about to give out, which is why I have been actively looking for a good gig bag or guitar case that be an exact fit for my guitar. I’ve already checked out the generic cases that are available and sadly they are not as fitting as I would hope so I am hoping some guy out there could sell me a case that is specifically made for Fender Strats.

Christmas Gifts
We have already bought some of the Christmas Gifts that we have to give and ofcourse we did not forget to buy the special request of our beloved first born. I bought his toy and hid the gift for a while so he would not see it. A few days ago I decided to put it under the Christmas tree which he immediately noticed because his name was written on the gift card. Thankfully Kuya is able to control himself from opening and with some luck he will patiently wait it out till Christmas.
Now we just need to buy a few more gifts and we are all set for Christmas. I’ll probably just get a few Kangol hats which will work for boys and girls – in case I forgot someone.

Work At Home Perks
There are so many work at home perks, but the most important and valuable of them all is more time with my family.
While working at home, I still get to be with my family the whole day, though they are not to disturb me when I’m at work, they still get to hug me and get my attention a few minutes at a time. During breaks I can rest on my bed with my sons and I can also enjoy a lunch time bonding. My family “visits” me at my work area at home to greet me good morning every day which is very sweet and was next to impossible before when I was working at my old office. Things are going well and thankfully my boss is a family man who encourages and even reminds me to prioritize family over work.
Just a few minor qualms worry me, like PLDT’s inconsistent connection and my back up ISP – Sun Broadband’s- poor signal and slow internet connection. Hopefully faster cable internet or 4G internet will be available here soon so I can rest knowing that I have stable connection everyday for work. For now I will have to look for a good cell booster that might help my backup 3G wireless modem connection.

Bonding with Erpat and Utol – Massage
When my dad, my brother and I go out, it would almost always be going to a sauna / massage venue. We do this every month, relaxing and getting our backs straightened out by the masseurs.
It used to be that we play sports like ping-pong or basketball when we go out, but now we don’t have access to a decent basketball court or table tennis that is nearby, so we make do with a relaxing massage. The venue we normally go to is called Trimline Spa, the place is well taken cared of and has a lot of ammenities – hot pool, sauna bath, steam bath, body scrub and ofcourse a great massage. The attendants are also nice so we have been quite a patron there for a while now. I highly recommend it, although it would be better if we could hire our own Recreational Therapist Jobs who can service at home, but that would be too lazy.

King of Fighters XIII
I finally got a copy of the latest KOF (King of Fighters) Game – KOF XIII. I remember how much time I spend just playing the older KOF games. And now that I have the copy of the latest version, it no longer appeals to me as it did years back.
Looks like I’m now a retired KOF player… don’t get me wrong though, I can probably still beat the crap out of some players – but I guess burning flames and titanium rings no longer hold the same excitement as it did. I guess Iori Yagami was right: “Asobi Wa Owarida” – Play time is over.

No other woman
After consistent prodding my wife and I watched the movie “No other woman”. Actually I didn’t watch it as much, because from the start we were bombarded by the typical “sex sells” motif of movies. I’ve read a lot of good reviews about the movie but I think they were all just being polite and politically correct. I wasn’t too impressed with the acting, it wouldn’t stand compared to real filipino classics, or even independently released filipino movies.
Sadly the story was too bland and stereo typical. You can summarize the story in one sentence… I guess they just wanted to showcase some sexy looks and add a story in the background.
Hotblooded teen boys will probably enjoy this, but the producers should have let the mistress wore sexy bunny outfits to emphasize the point of the movie, which is – it is a “sexy” movie.
To be fair, my wife kinda liked it. But honestly this will be one of those movies that you will easily forget about.

Travel Kit Preparations
We are heading to Bohol for a week long vacation early next year. It will surely be a fun adventure for my family.
This out of town trip will also be where we will celebrate My son’s birthday. We picked Bohol because we have heard a lot of great things about the place. We want to be able to get to a beach and yet do other things as well.
To ensure that we have a great time, I will see to it that all preparations are done well ahead of time, and that everything is in order. We are still finalizing the venue and itinerary so there could still be a lot of adjustments. But that should not be an excuse for procrastinating, I know too well that it pays to be prepared.
When we go out to our relatives – it is quite common for us to leave important items like, change of clothes, cell phone, shave and other small but important items. And I want to make sure that in this long vacation we have everything we need. To be safe, I’ll be the one to double check on our Travel Kit, I will ensure important personal effects are present and neatly arranged.
This will be an exciting week long vacation and I don’t want to ruin it just because we left out important items like my shave. I wouldn’t want to be unable to shave and look like a hermit there. So better safe than sorry.
I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog about Travel Kits and was compensated. Still, the views, opinions and content are all my own.

Farewell, Steve Jobs
The world has lost one of its best innovator and revolutionary thinker. Aspirants have a lost a role model and inspiration. But the worst part of it all, is a son has lost his father. Its a sad day indeed. Hope that Steve’s family is doing OK.
Inspiring quote:a
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people. While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Apple Inc.
