A worthy sacrifice

admin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:15:59 +0000

My daughter will take up either BS Computer Science or BS Information Technology when she goes to College this coming school year. And because her course is about computer, for sure she will be needing a computer. Since she cannot bring our desktop with her in the dormitory where she will be staying in Manila, i’m already thinking of buying a laptop for her. So now i’m surfing the net for the best deals on laptops.

It’s so hard when you’re on a very tight budget. I feel so stressed and it’s giving me headaches. But i know all our sacrifices will pay off in the future. No matter how difficult it is we will continue to work hard and do our best so we can give the best education for our kids.

Guitar Finger Exercises

admin — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 06:35:55 +0000

A friend in our church asked for some help regarding hand exercises. He’s our guitar player in the music ministry and because he’s been playing guitar most of the time, he’s experiencing some pain in his fingers and hand. He’s one of the great guitarist in our church, he’s expert in playing fender bullet strat guitar.

To help him, i did some research on hand exercises for guitar players. He cannot play very well if his hands are not physically fit. To play the guitar well, the fingers must have strength and flexibility.

Here are some of the exercises i’ve gathered online:

Guitar Finger Exercise #1- Finger Flexion

This exercise will improve overall hand strength.

Take a tennis ball, hold it in your left hand. Squeeze and hold for the count of ten, then release. Repeat ten times, working up to three sets of 15. After each set, switch hands.

Guitar Finger Exercise #2- Finger Stretching

One example of a finger stretch is holding your hand in front of your chest with your fingers touching each other. Focus on keeping your arm still while only using your hand muscles. Slowly spread your fingers apart until you look as though you are waving to someone. Hold this open position for five seconds and then release slowly back to starting position. This exercise can be completed with both hands many times during the day.

Guitar Finger Exercise #2- Forming a Fist

Focus on improving your grip strength by making a fist with each hand. Grip is important for not only controlling the neck of your guitar, but also for holding down the strings while playing. From a seated or standing position, hold your hand in front of your chest in a neutral finger position. Next, close your hand into a fist and squeeze your hand and fingers tightly. After a brief hold, relax the grip and return to your starting position.

Before staring any exercise program, be sure to speak to a doctor for more information.

A good investment

My sister’s husband is currently working in Korea and as expected they are earning big. Last week they went to a bank to invest their money. And this morning my sister called me if i know anything about silver morgan dollar. She said a friend of hers is investing on it so she got interested as well.

Well, all i know is that this type of coin is a collector’s item which can be very profitable. Moreover, the silver just like gold is always a good investment.

The good trend

admin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:12:55 +0000

I was very blessed when i won a new Ipad 2 during our Christmas party raffle last month. God really answered our prayer. In our 2010 Christmas raffle i also won the major prize which is a Nokia C6 cellphone.

This is a nice trend so i’m planning to join as many raffle and contest as i can. I have now a raffle ticket from one grocery store wherein they will be giving away tablet laptops and digital cameras. I like to win the tablet or laptop since most of the time my daughter is using my Ipad, so might as well give it to her.

I hope and pray that God will bless us again. It’s our only way to have those expensive gadgets. Also, in this manner we can testify to other the goodness of God with us, to give Him all the honor and to glorify Him even more.
