My friend, Paul, who is an architect and contractor, told me that he received a project to remodel a home in Arizona. I was surprised that he managed to secure a job out there even though he does not have an office in Arizona. Paul told me that this property belongs to one of his clients in New York and he loves Paul’s designs so much that he wants Paul to do the house in Arizona as well.

Paul said that he wants a pool built in the garden of this house and was put in touch with arizona swimming pool contractors by a local.

According to Paul, Cameo Pools has thirty years of experience building and remodeling pools for homes in Mesa, Arizona and he has seen their workmanship and thoroughly satisfied with their pools. From what I can see at their website, Cameo Pools has outstanding pool designs that every homeowner would fall in love with!

This is bad. My iPhone is my new toy. I know that I recently swore off playing games but I can’t help it. I have games installed on my Nokia E61i, an enterprise mobile device that we could hardly find any free games for it because it is an ENTERPRISE unit!

But now, as if those mobile games are not enough, I have games in my iPhone and I have bookmarked a whole list of iPhone games sites. You may know that iPhone does not allow the installation of third party applications *ahem* so there are not that many games that we could install. Oh, I thank God for this!!! Otherwise, I would be spending way more time playing and playing.

I think it is not that I love playing so much but the fact that I always want to out do myself, yes, even in games that I play alone. There must be something wrong with me. LOL

I hope that this addiction to iPhone games will be just a passing fad and that I will outgrow it as soon as possible so that I could concentrate on more important things in life!

It is very rare for me to get a balanced meal because I eat on the go due to my hectic work schedule. Most of my meals are takeaways or instant food that only requires heating up with the microwave oven.

Yesterday, a friend told me that she heard of a product called Body Balance which is a liquid food supplement that helps to replenish whatever nutrients that our body did not get from our food.

This sounds like what I should be taking as I know eating the way I do is unhealthy but then how often do I get to eat home-cooked food? I think only once a month!

Body Balance, which comes in a bottle, is also very convenient as it doesn’t need extra preparation. Just my kind of supplement!

A met a friend for dinner the other and she saw me using my Nokia E61i and she said that it’s boring. SOB I know!! But the reason I bought it is because I could use it as a modem and I dig QWERTY. People who have not used QWERTY before would not understand.

And it is really helpful when I have so many things to write, write and write that having QWERTY stops me from keying in my letters more time than I should. Just imagine how many keystrokes I save myself by using QWERTY keyboard.

Sometimes, while I prefer to type on my computer properly, it could not be helped since work continues to pile up even when I am away from the computer so having an internet enabled mobile device with QWERTY is very useful.

Also, I use it to take down whatever notes and blog ideas I have so that I could expand on my ideas when I have the time. One idea, one note. Then add text to the title LOL That’s how I blog!

I marvel at the passion Americans have for sports. My sister tells me that every year, they are waiting for one major event after another and everyone would queue up to buy tickets to the big games. People who are not able to get tickets would be outcasts and losers. Well, at least they are made to feel like that at my sister’s office!!!

After six years living in the Untied States, my sister has adopted this part of their sporting culture and I find it funny that she will be saving up money the whole year only to splash it on a ticket. But I think it is better for her to be able to BUY those tickets than feel frustrated not being able to view live sports matches and have to watch pay-per-view.

Like the Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez boxing match which has been the talk of the whole country, I told my sister, better to get the Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez tickets online or she will lose out.

Although the match is scheduled on March 15, 2008, in Las Vegas, and may seem like a lifetime away, who knows, time flies so fast, it will be here sooner than we thought and only to realize that the tickets are all sold out!

It’s the time of the year where we have to make our New Year’s resolution. I never make my list and even if I do, I will only not follow whatever that I wrote down!! Maybe that is why I see time flying past me without achieving anything great the year past!

This year though, I only have one resolution. Something that is in my control and that is to stay focused. I want to be focused in my work, in blogging and in life. I want to be able to achieve my ambition and with focus, I know I can do that.

I hope I will not get distracted by serious time wasting stuff like playing games and watching movies. I used to like telling myself that I am learning SOMETHING by playing games or watching movies hehehe but that just waste my time and take me away from my tasks at hand.

Although I don’t really need to rely on a paper certificate to show my worth at my job, I would still feel better if I had one. I may not need it to earn a living right now but one doesn’t really know what the future may bring and to have that extra knowledge that could only be gained by attending university, would only be an added advantage.

Some of you may know that I lead such a hectic work life that between that and family, I really don’t have time for anything else, let alone time to attend university. Heck, I don’t even have time for myself.

My friend told me that for the betterment of my future, I would have to MAKE time and sacrifice something else for the sake of education. Fortunately, I can get access to tertiary education from an online university and that would make things so convenient. I like the idea of studying at my own pace from home without peer pressure. I may just do it next year. I have to act quick of the gap between new graduates and myself would be wider and wider.
