This week has been busy in our house Beng is practicing badminton every chance she gets. Almost every evening around 8 PM she hits the kitchen door sweating out breath from practicing with her badminton buddies, who are getting ready for a tournament contest for this up coming Saturday. And Junior is practicing for another school champion contest every night and just before his Mom he hits the same door, not only is he tired and hungry and ready to eat almost anything and everything in sight. The first thing I heard upon his arrival is the refrigerator door open and close. In the meantime leaving Rudy and I to watch television (yes, no Filipino soaps) while waiting for my wife and Junior to arrive back home. I like the idea of Beng playing badminton because she been keeping her on me since I went to the hospital last March; not playing as she had did before she began putting extra pounds on. I hope she can start losing all those fat cells! As far as Junior and is ever continuous school extra activities I’m not sure if I like the idea. It seems to me there is far too much time spent on the band practice and other after hour’s school activities then the three Rs – reading, writing and arithmetic. On to some other news, last week in Cebu Beng purchased me a new fancy Nokia 2600 Classic cell phone, so far I haven’t figured out all its functions but that’s okay. I thought it was the one of greatest things to happen to mankind when the pager first came out, now look at my new cell phone it can even sing a song!
