My son is one heck of a guitar player. He and his friends have decided to form a band and see how it plays out. His old guitar looks a bit tired and had seen better days. I’m a very supportive father and maybe it’s time a get him a new guitar. I recently saw a beautiful scarlet charvel san dimas guitar at the music store the other day. I guess he’ll get a kick out of it if I bought him that.

I’m always prepared. I have a ready stock of supplies and stuff that I regularly use. I hate running out of things especially when I’m in the middle of doing something. With so many birthdays coming up, I have a healthy stock of gift card envelopes. When I don’t have time to buy a present, I simply slip in a few dollars in them.Witht he busy schedule I have, I often do this.

I’ve been collecting rare coins since I was young. The internet has opened new venues for me to acquire more coins to add to my growing collection. Most are silver coins from all over the world. Recently, I was able to buy morgan dollars along with some gold coins. My collection is quite a booty and maybe someday, I will pass it onto my son. By that time, these coins would really be very valuable.

The holidays gave me time to hang out with my son. Most of the time, we played his favorite video games on his game console. He couldn’t believe I beat him in some of them. I used to be a video game junkie during my teenage years. I easily grasped the new technology. It was fun hanging out with him and enjoy the things he enjoys. Of course I alsoenjoyed the bragging rights.

This will help me shed those pounds I gained during the holidays.

My daughter has a new best friend, created diamond solitaire earrings. My wife gave her a pair for our granddaughters’ christening. They looked like rare diamonds as they were orange. I did not know that diamonds come in different colors. Apparently, diamonds can be cultured. You can create them in different colors. If you think they are inferior to the natural ones, they are not. They were so elegant and caught everyone’s attention. Our guests kept complementing her earrings and asking her where to obtain them.  Well, she is more than willing to reveal them and in no time, I am sure most of her friends will be wearing these rare diamonds.

As 2011 ends, I wish everyone a fruitful and meaningful New Year to all. I welcome 2012 with hope and optimism. I pray that the economy picks up and less disasters for an already suffering international community. I pray that peace reign.

My pal just bought a new condo. He’s still single and doesn’t really need a big house. He invited all his buddies for a small get together. I decided to get him something for his new pad. As I handed it to him, I told him that it’s a doormat for your home. He unfurled it and laughed at the naughty design. I had it specially made for him.

Just like last winter, my sister-in-law’s water pipe burst again. It damaged her basement flooring anew. I sent my contractor to her place to show her some basement flooring options. He is suggesting that they use something that is waterproof. This will less expensive should another mishap happen again. She agrees with this and is now busy choosing the tile design. At least after the repairs are done, she wouldn’t have to worry anymore.

My cousin had informed me that his Dad would like to go on a trip across the country. He had just recovered from a stroke and would like to spend his retirement traveling in his RV. Worried that this could put strain on his Dad’s health, we enrolled him to a road trip medical assistance program. This will ensure that he will have a safe trip and it would put us at ease.
