Sweet Starbucks

Let me just end this week with desserts from Starbucks. A perfect ending for a busy week that was and an exciting beginning for an eventful weekend. By the way, Starbucks Trinoma branch is celebrating their anniversary, the barista was generous enough to give me a coupon that entitles me for a free drink on my next visit, sweet!

Online tutoring

Online tutoring is one of the popular sidelines and even full-time jobs in the Philippines today. Aside from it’s fun, it has a decent pay and you get to work only for a few hours. My sister-in-law worked as an online tutor for Koreans before she worked in a call center. She taught English subjects only but sometimes her students asked her for math help. She ended up giving free math help to her students albeit her dislike in math. She became close to her students, they even extend their tutoring session just to tell stories about their lives, crushes, problems, etc. She must have impressed her student’s parents because they offered my SIL to be an online math tutor as well. She declined the offer because she pursued other job.

Online tutors, anyone?

11 years and counting

On September 12, 2009, this marks the 11th year of Jeff and me as sweethearts. 11 years and counting, that’s how long Jeff and I were together since our first year in college. Even though our wedding anniversary is on January, we still celebrate our special day on September. We still give gifts to each other no matter how simple they are, dine in a restaurant and spend time with each other. After so many years, I sometimes ran out of gift ideas to give. The Internet is a great source for ideas, and after some online “window” shopping, I think hubby needs a formal watch. We collect sports watches and we already have 5 sports watches for this year. movado watches seem like a great choice for formal watches, I found them at Bluedial.com. I’m lemming to buy the his and hers version of the watches.

Team Pilipinas desktop wallpaper for FIBA Asia Championship 2009

It’s the FIBA Asia Championship 2009 and as a support for Team Pilipinas, Nike Philippines sponsors the Philippine National Basketball team. I just love the catchy banner ads from Nuffnang. The site TeamPilipinas.info provided desktop wallpapers for you to download. You can also check the site to watch free live stream of the FIBA Asia Championship or check the FIBA Asia results.

I have one observation though, the red uniforms and the blue uniforms should be interchanged. Or maybe they did this on purpose? Check out the 1024 x 768 Team Pilipinas desktop wallpaper courtesy of TeamPilipinas.info.

Exercises for back pain

I am in dire need of a massage! I’ve been persuading Jeff for us to have a couple’s massage but he’s really not a fan of going to the spa. Well, he loves massages too but he’s not comfortable having it done with a masseuse. So I’m his personal masseuse, tsk tsk tsk! He’ll just wait for me at the spa while he lounges at their snack bar if there’s any. Since last week, I’m experiencing pains on my left shoulder and my lower back. And since I don’t have time to go to the spa yet, I just tried these exercises for back pain I found online.
