an idle mind and a fine city...

This fine city I live in

The first thing I noticed when I first went to this city is that it's so green! There are trees everywere that somewhat makes the very humid weather bearable. And I like that. That's just one of the things that makes this city a fine city. There is the:
Convinient transportation - you can go to anywhere via taxi , bus, or train
EZ Link - the fare card you can use to ride the bus and train and can even charge your 7-11 or Mc Donald purchases
Clean Air - from where I came from you will not find this except in the provinces
Pedestrian Priority - most motorists really stop to give way to pedestrians
Malls - malls that are interconnected to each other so you can conviniently go from one mall to another without the hassle of going outside
Clean Public Restroom - even has tissue papers and automatic flush!
English Language- almost everybody speaks english
Bank Transfer - transferring funds to other banks is possible online without charge
Low income tax - that's why I decided to work here
Variety of Food - the best part is tasting all the good fud that a multi-racial country has to offer

And that list comes only from me.. I'm sure there are a lot more good things aother people that have lived in this city for quite a while can say. Truly, size doesn't matter.

Pilot

Thanks to our UAT being posponed to thursday, I finally got the chance to start my own blog. Not that I don't have the time, it's just pure laziness (and lack of creative "juices") that kept me from starting this. It even took me two das to create and to finish this post! It's also because I'm not sure if my thoughts are interesting enough for people to read. Back in highschool I'm a news writer, so I'm not used to using "flowery words" in my writing. News people tend to follow the KISS rule.. keep it short and simple (or sweet?!).

Over the past few weeks, my boyfriend is obsessed about Wilson.. Wilson H4 Hammer Tennis Raquet! And last sunday we were able to rent (to test) an H4 raquet which we tested for a few minutes in our condo tennis court. A I said a few minutes because we have no booking on that time slot and when he saw that nobody's playing, we went ahead and played for a while. It's a good thing the two guys who booked that time slot was late. And so we tested the H4. It feels better than our old raquets, you don't feel the vibration and i can serve and volley better. I'm not really an expert tennis player and I have not used that many a raquet so that's all I can say! For the next week H4 has yet to prove itself worthy of that expensive tag price...

But! My boyfriend liked it and found out that It's so cheap in the US. That's why I've been bugging all my friends there and see how much they can ship it here. Now he's been searching for the cheapest H4 all over the city. Oh men and their gadgets!
