It has been almost a week or two that we have been experiencing scattered rain showers. I wonder if the PAGASA or Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration are still not confirming the end of summer season. It’s been to really hot for more than a month. The grass don’t need push mowers anymore since it almost dried up because of too much heat. I hope the government already prepared contingency measures by now for the coming rainy season to avoid flash flooding in some parts of the Metro.

I hope that the successive gas price rollbacks and a news about the upcoming big time roll back among major gasoline will also translate to lowered product prices. Aside from a positive impact on prices of basic commodities, I also expect a lowered minimum fare in public transports. I believe these are clear manifestations that price rollbacks are being felt. All of us must be vigilant in monitoring not only prices of gasoline but also the prices of commodities that are affected these. One way or another, we should feel its impact even if we don’t load up on gas. 

 I hope that vendors in the market would avoid tampering the weighing scale just to gain a few centavos. We know that it is not mettler balance that we are using to really have the exact weights. As we notice, more and more consumers prefer supermarkets because of some bad publicity in the public market such as dishonest weighing scale, double dead meat being sold, among others. Hopefully we could bring back the “suki” system build around trust in each other.

I notice that the MMDA (Metro Manila Development Authority) implemented motorcycle lane in some major road in Metro Manila. It was so gratifying at first because motorcycle accidents are minimized but I noticed lately that it was not followed anymore. Especially the motorcycle lane in EDSA motorist just followed the lane if there’s an enforcer watching. Hopefully it will get implemented well to avoid more accidents lucky if you will only use ossur knee braces.

Beware of accepting someone as helper in the house. Many have been a victim of someone who pretended and applied as house helper and turned out as member of “Akyat Bahay” bad element and whose actual intention is to gain your trust but in the end, is up to rob you. Do some background screening first and do not just be contented by NBI and police clearances which may be fake.

A lot of parents especially those who are music lovers dream that their children will not just also love music but would really know how to play musical instrument. This is one of my wishes too. I wish that my son will also play piano as good as his mother. I love him to study violin and guitar. Playing music together while his mom plays piano while I play my Hohner Harmonicas or I will just sing.

Every parent and especially a father like me want my son to play with toys that I love and made me happy before, as much as possible. Although seldom can we find classic toys we used to play with before that are available in the market today. The availability of computers, console games and tablets are rare although die cast toys are still available. Children now prefer playing PSP or computer games. They play with profire yoyo compared to our yoyo before which made of wood. But we parents we only permits our son to play computer games and use computer and tablets during Friday and Saturday no playing during class days, and see to it that he do biking, swimming, basketball and play with other children every day.

Lots of new netbooks are coming out in the market. Almost every month, there are new netbook models with new upgraded and latest features for you to choose from. That’s why if you want to have one, make sure it really can satisfy you and your needs. Everyone is claiming that they have the best netbooks in the market but for me when buying one, it’s good to read reviews and consider also the durability and brands you love to avoid buying one and frustrate your self after a month.
