THE BIG NIKE LIFESTYLE SALE




We headed out at 10 am to rush to the Big Nike Lifestyle Sale at the Megatrade Hall at the 5th floor of SM Megamall ongoing from March 2-4. My, I was surprised to see so many people running up and about and carrying loads of pairs of rubber shoes and other NIke apparel. I found it hard to believe that people got up early on a weekend morning to queue for their stash of Nike stuff, with prices slashed with 70% discounts. Lines to the cashier were like box office queues for blockbusters on opening day!




Well, I shouldn't have been so surprised since I got my brother to get up and accompany me to Megamall, him being the last body up awake early this morning and yet, he greeted me with a smile when I tried waking him for Nike time.

Well, there was a fairly decent selection. After going around the hall to survey the field, I found all the items,lying off the shelves (or should I say the floor, since there were no shelves) I regretted my windowshopping. I shouldve picked out those things that caught my eye.

Anyway, I didnt go home emptyhanded as I got to bring home an entire sports outfit. A velour sunvisor, a skyblue longsleeve crossover top and a pair of cropped dance pants, for a grand total of P1375.50! According to my receipt, I got to save, P3209.50! Not bad, huh?









So catch it while you still can. You can drop by tomorrow for the last day of the sale. I hope they haven't run out of supplies yet!

TEACHING BEDAN COLLEGE STUDENTS

Yup, I'm a college professor. I teach Law on Obligations and Contracts to College Students in San Beda College, Manila. It's been a really challenging job. I take it quite seriously. I try my best to encourage them to study yet enjoy such a complicated and difficult subject. I had difficulty in the same subject when I was a law student myself. So I want them to see the light of day, so to say.

Last night, I had to scold them since I gave a quiz and saw that most of them copied from each other. I contemplated long if I had to discuss it with them. But I realized that I had to make it a big deal out of it, just so I could prove a point. It was then that I reminded myself that I wasn't a buddy but a professor.

I'm having a blast teaching. I had previous experience teaching toddlers in Japan. I should tell you though, I dont think there is much a difference! These college students still act like kids! A really noisy bunch!

Let me present to you: the new boys and girls in my life :)

SNAPSHOTS FROM BORACAY

I returned from the sunny beaches of Boracay after a four day holiday. It was a relaxing weekend from all the hustle and bustle of Manila life, although the Island of Boracay can be considered a busy cosmopolitan, only that there is a fantastic white sand beach a couple of steps away. We stayed at Laguna de Boracay, situated at the other part of the island, where people, mostly foreigners, go to kiteboard and windsurf. During our last day, we stayed at a quaint little room right beside Real Coffee, where they serve good coffee, sandwiches and muffins. Let me share with you some of the sights and scenes of Boracay:



Taken from the deck of the Glass Bottom Boat, which took us around the Island for an hour and a half, watching the marine life unfold right below our feet! :)










A young boy shielding his face from the sun using his skimboard. Taken in front of JayJay's Movie Bar beside Real Maris Hotel.



















Sunset Sailing, one of the new pastimes of couples in Boracay. What a romantic sight!










A windsurfer all by his lonesome, enjoying the sun, sea and wind at Bulabog Beach, at the other side of upbeat White Beach.





I also enjoyed watching the kiteboarders strut their stuff on the deep blue sea. I curiously watched, as I worked on my tan.



All in all, Boracay is still a tropical paradise. However, in the scorching heat of summertime, you won't have the chance to enjoy peace and quiet. It's like being in Greenbelt, only, you can wear flipflops and bikinis! Enjoy your summer guys :)
