I Miss You Cleo

You are my beloved dog of 8 years

You were always there to make me smile

You would comfort me when I was down

You never failed to be there for me

You brought so many happy memories

You were my first baby

You grew up with Roberta

You were more than a dog to me

You will always be part of the family

I could not imagine not having you around

No one can ever take your place

You mean more to me than anything

How I miss you right now

I wish you did not have to go so soon

I love you very much Cleo....

Working on a Saturday Night

It is a Saturday night. It is such a relief to end such a hectic week. I am sure this is how most of us feel. We all can't wait to rest, relax and unwind.

But for some unexplainable reason, I have this urge to do some work on a Saturday night. Yes, you heard me right. I still feel like working even if I already had such a busy week. I know, I know. You are probably thinking on which side of the bed did I wake up this morning to make me a workaholic.

I guess it is just one of those nights that you had a good day earlier and was able to get enough rest as well as relax at the same time, which I did. That is why I still have a lot of energy and motivation left to do some productive things. Besides, there is no point in sleeping or trying to sleep when your mind is still wide awake. I will just end up tossing and turning in bed for hours. So why waste time and instead just do something worthwhile, right?

What do you think? Am I being a little workaholic here?... =)

Gadgets at Wholesale Prices

Nowadays, I usually hear most of the younger generation talk about their iPods, iPod Touch or wanting to own the latest iPhone 3g 16gb because it is so cool and neat. Or for the gaming consoles, you hear them comparing an Xbox 360, Wii, or PS3 and trying to debate on which one is better.

When you look at these items for sale, they are not cheap at all. So you wonder where and how can these younger generation afford such things. Being the practical shopper that I am, I will try to look for a supplier who can offer iPhones wholesale at wholesale prices so that I can get a nice discount. MemberSupply.com offers the latest gadgets at wholesale prices. Who knows with a great deal like this, I could even make some money out of it by becoming a distributor of iPhones at wholesale prices.

I mean why should I spend my hard-earned money on something who’s value will go down in a month or two since a newer and better model will be coming out. These days, it is best to try to get things at wholesale if you can even with gadgets.

As they say, a little penny saved today will go a long, long way one day.

Domain Names as Prizes

I have always thought what it would be like to have my own domain name. I think that would be really neat! I learned that with your own domain name you have more flexibility to be able to do what you want with your site in terms of customization as well as security. Maybe later on, I will get a chance to have mine.

I think my chances just got higher in owning a domain name - well hopefully. My new blogger friend, Rosa is holding a Mini Blog Contest at her dainty site Pink Precious dot Com. The rules on how to join are quite simple, and there are a lot of prizes from generous sponsors to be given away. Actually, this is my first time to push through with joining a blog contest.

Relationship with Self-Discipline and Sports

I think that being an athlete taught me how to have discipline in my studies, home & personal life and training life. I learned how to try and keep it all well-balanced so as not to let one or the other suffer just because I was focusing on one area more. Becoming fit because of training was just a bonus, what was important was the improved lifestyle and positive personality traits that you would get from training for a sport.

These were the very reasons why I started to get back on the fit wagon again. I wanted to embrace the lifestyle that I grew up with and got used to as well as expose my daughter to it so that she too would know the benefits of becoming an endurance athlete.

What do you think you can learn from becoming an endurance athlete?
