Entertainment in the city

Guest post written by Jeremy Thore

There are so many things to do in New York City, but a lot of those things require money. So when I moved here a couple of weeks ago I knew that I should set up lots of entertaining possibilities in my apartment because I don't have that money.

After I set up my WiMax wireless internet I looked up how to set up a surround sound system online with some tips. The guy who lived there before me had left a big entertainment center, which was the perfect place to set up all of my stuff, even though it took up a big part of my apartment. But after all, I don't have that much other stuff besides the stuff that fit on there, and entertainment is so important, right?

After I set up my surround sound I invited some of my friends over to watch one of those one dollar movies from a Blockbuster vending machine. My studio apartment is no movie theater, but I think I have a pretty sweet set up.

Learning To Putt With The Best Of Them

Authored by Greg Fletcher

Putting isn't the strong point of my golf game. As a newly born golf lover, I'm still struggling to master the finer aspects of the game. Right now I'm struggling with pretty much everything. Putting is an especially challenging thing for me. I just can't master the slopes of the greens or the finer points of putting.

One thing that I don't struggle to do is to enjoy great golf onsatellite tv. It's like I'm allowed to study all of my mistakes and then watch the masters and how they manage to avoid not to make those same mistakes. It helps me when I go out to practice my putting for me to remember back to the golf I've watched and to try to mimic the techniques that actually work for golfers.

I'm never going to be on the PGA circuit. I'll probably never even win a local tournament. Despite this, I'm having the time of my life enjoying sunny days outside playing golf. While my home is secured with Home Security devices I'm not ready for any kind of competition yet, not even against some buddy of mine that might go easy on me, but I'm having a great time attempting to improve my game and learn more about the sport that I've watched for so many years but never truly tried to play on my own. So far so good as of now.

I Had A Busy

I am so tired now after a long day at school. I love to help the teacher and I actually enjoyed helping the kids. My feet is hurting a little standing up most of the day. But it's okay now because I am home. I need to relax before starting to make dinner I'm sure hubby will be hungry when he gets home.

The kids are doing their homework while I am relaxing in the couch and blogging. Well, I feel like a can use a little nap. I have a little headache to I probably need my nap. The only problem is the kids are awake, when their awake I can't take a nap because they will start making too much noise. When that happen it will just give me more headache. So, I am just going to keep my eyes open and make dinner soon.

Remembering Our Trip

My daughter can still remember our trip to the Philippines over 5 years ago. She just love to play with her cousins. The next time we visit Philippines we are going to meet 3 new family members. That was a wonderful trip we had. It was a very inexpensive trip for the four of us luckily I found cheap airline tickets. So we got the vacation packages and the trip was all worth it.

Anyway check out this cool website lonelyplanet.com I find it very interesting. Also if you need to find travel guide visit fodors.com. I always wanted to visit my country and spend time with my family. But the budget is kind a tight right now to have a trip for four to the Philippines. We need to save more money for that trip.

My son was just 9 months old when the last time we visit my family. So, he did not remember anything about the trip. He told me that he doesn't want to ride in the airplane because its scary lol. He don't have any idea on how many hours we stayed in the airplane just to make it to the other side of the world.

My Boy And The School

My son was already asking me this morning if today is early release day. I said my boy the week is just starting so,do not think about early release yet. also there is no early release this week. Then he asked me if he can come home early lol. So I have to talked to him on how important it is to have Education. After I talked to him he was completely fine but he asked me if I can come for lunch.

I was just browsing around at The Chronicle and read about the state election. They have great news on their website. Anyway I was thinking about going back to school so I checkout Walden University. I want to see what kind of courses they are offering for online schooling. Now I need to saved up some money so I can do what I want to do in the future like going back to school.

Right now I am looking for a part time job. Hopefully somebody is hiring out there. I tried applying online and I hope that I will receive a call soon. For now I am going to keep on searching.

Halloween Costumes

The kids are excited for Halloween costumes. They already want me to buy them their costumes yesterday. I told them to wait because Halloween still a little far away. Maybe in the middle next month I'll buy their costumes. Right now I need to find a place that is doing a sale. I can't believe how time fly now it's already fall. But the weather in Florida is still summer I can't wait to cool down a little.

My daughter still can't decide what costume she is going to wear for Halloween. My son want to be super Mario lol. He is crazy about Mario so he want to be super Mario this year. Also he asked his daddy if daddy can wear Luigi hehehe.

I have so much ironing to do today and the washing machine still washing. It will be a all day event for me. I won't be able to go and meet my boy for lunch. It's okay I will be at school all day tomorrow.

New Sink

Hubby and I was looking around in the store yesterday for a new sink. Now we know what kind of sink we are going to buy. I want a deeper sink so it's easy for me to clean the pots and pan. We are going to buy the stainless steel kitchen sink and it is a lot deeper compare to the one we have here at home right now. Hubby will get the new sink next month. I also want to have one on those butcher block countertop.

We want to buy new stuff for the house and one thing that I want to replace is the flooring in the kitchen. Later on if we have money I also want to put the glass window for the Florida room. Right now we just got it screened, but it is ready for glass windows. Soon the weather will start to cool down that means we ca spend more time in the screen room and the gazebo in the backyard. I want to buy adirondack chair I am just waiting for hubby's go signal lol.

Weekend Is Done

Now we are facing Monday once again. The kids are ready to go to school tomorrow. Both are asleep already. Hubby and I work on our yard yesterday and today. We are happy that the grass seeds that we put down are finally growing. We are hoping that the new grass will cover all the bold spot. I planted new flowers in the front yard after three of my plants died. The summer was too hot so, the old plants did not survive.

I hope that this new plants will stay alive for long time. Also I am hoping that the new plants will survive the winter weather. My eggplants are growing big and all of them have a flowers on it. I can't wait to see the eggplants fruit start hanging on the plants. Right now I am looking for more vegetable plants.

Friday Night Lights Is Excellent Drama

Written by Fermin Washington

This year, I was excited to see that "Friday Night Lights," one of my favorite television shows, was finally recognized with some major Emmy nominations. Although the series didn't win, it bodes well for the possibility that the show may be properly recognized after its final year.

"Friday Night Lights," which I watch on satellite TV like nfl sunday ticket, is a series that deals with the hopes and heartaches of the residents of the small town of Dillon, Texas. In Dillon, football is king. The whole town shuts down for the big game on Friday night, and disc jockeys seem to talk of little else.

At the heart of the drama is Eric Taylor, a coach who spends a great deal of time mentoring students both on the field and off. Impressively played by Kyle Chandler, he is a doting husband to Tami, played by the formidable Connie Britton, who serves as a school counselor.

Each season, different teenage characters are highlighted. One of the most lovable is Matt Saracen, who unexpectedly finds himself quarterback in the first season, when he must balance the new challenges that come with that role with the responsibilities that he has as caretaker of his grandmother. Another great character is Tim Riggins, a brooding character who tries to become a better person.

Full of complex characters, "Friday Night Lights" is truly exceptional.

Cleaning The Bathrooms

Today was my cleaning day at home but I did not got them all done. So, tomorrow is another day of cleaning. I am really getting so frustrated about our shower heads because it keeps on getting loose. This time I want to find a shower head that last longer. It is a waste of money on keeps on buying a new one at the store and after 3-4 months is already broken.

I would like to visit takeashower.com and check out their Fire Hydrant Spa shower head. We also need to change the kids shower head on their bathroom. Anyway tomorrow is Friday already and I am excited for the weekend fun. The kids want to watch movies on Sunday.

My eyes are so tired now I need my beauty rest soon. Before I go to bed I have some left over foods to put away. Is anybody else saw the planet Jupiter tonight? We had fun watching it earlier it looks so close to the moon. I tried to take a picture but it come out so little I need the professional camera lol. Have a good night everyone.

Everyone Was Happy To Meet Kyle Brady

I had the chance to meet Kyle Brady last Tuesday at the church. He was big and so tall my goodness me. Everybody had fun taking a picture of him. Anyway I am wondering who is the next guest speaker next week. I have 3 of his cards with his signature on it. I did not expect to even meet a former football player. I only see them on TV but this week I actually meet one of them.

I even had the chance to hold his football helmet that he wore when he played the New York Jets, Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots. I was surprise on how heavy is the helmet. My gosh if I put it on in my head and run around with it I think I'll break my neck lol.

Good Vegas eats

Guest post written by Harry Miller

I've been to Vegas lots of times and settled on the all you can eat buffets because I'm starving and think I'm saving more money that way. But this time when I'm going I did a little more research and have come up with some great new places to try to go and get some food.

I was watching Anthony Bourdain's show on the Travel Channel and saw where he went and ate at all these great Las Vegas restaurants. I took note of them and decided to try out a few. I called a made reservations for some of them, just in case. I figured that if they were that good then they're probably hard to get into without reservations.

But when I was preparing for that, I also decided to look at hearing aid cost and get one so that I can enjoy my trip more this time.

My hearing has kind of been a big problem here lately so I wanted to be able to enjoy more trip more than be all worried about it.
