Sharing is fun.

Mom and Dad bought Summer a pink Nintendo DS with R4. Unfortunately, they forgot to buy a memory stick. Jenny bought memory stick from Canada and will send it here through my cousins who are having their summer vacation in the US and Canada.

While waiting for the memory stick to arrive, Jenjen and Summer will temporarily have to make use of Ryan's games in his DS through game sharing. Isn't that a nice way of teaching kids how to share? Fun is sharing.

From Masbate.

Another guest, from Masbate - Ate Nora!Ate Nora took care of us when we were small. She is now a teacher in an island at Masbate teaching 3rd graders.

This summer, she went to visit her family in Manila and went to our place in Malolos. She finally met her latest addition to her apos in our family - Winter! She can only see Summer and Winter grow through this blog.

It's such a joy seeing Ate Nora holding my babies. She didn't get to marry and have kids her own. She can have my babies as her grandchildren =). That's why I love sharing stories of my seasons with her.

and Tested.

Nakaka-pressure.

With the help from Paeng's PSP, we were able to track the strongest spot of wifi in the area, just in time for the Pacquiao's fight.

At first, it was just the family watching the game.Until we installed the multi-media projector for a bigger view. We did not have the time to install the white screen anymore and made use of the empty wall. We set-up a speaker as well.When I was confident enough that the live streaming will be successful, we started inviting other people to join us. Tita Eli and Tito Boy, the practicumers, and a couple of guests were able to join us.Sulit ang $3.50 ko! The fight did not lag for long, just a couple of times but not enough to skip an important part of the game and a lot enjoyed watching the game.

Kaya lang lugi kasi ang bilis natapos! Ang galing ni Pacquiao!

From Canada.

A guest from Canada - Tita Eli of Tito Boyet!Tita Eli arrived last week to attend his brother's wake at Pangasinan. She went to Malolos to see his brother-in-law, Tito Boy and they met at our place. They arrived just in time for the Pacquiao-Hatton fight so they were able to see it live with us.

Ang galing, sumama sa kanya si Winter. Lately kasi inaatake ng separation anxiety ang batang ito.

Tried.

We used to watch Pacquiao's fight through pay-per-view from our cable subscriber but since it began showing at GMA7, our cable subscriber stopped offering it since it was being ran by the other network.

Daddy forwarded me a text message offering free live streaming from PLDT MyDsl. Unfortunately, we are under business connection and it is being offered for residential only.

Until I remembered a recommendation from my e-group. A member suggested logging in at www.justin.tv early that day to be able to see the live streaming. I checked and saw an ad for a no-drop live streaming of the fight leading me to hatton.notlong.com. I checked and was forwarded to www.xmeforums.com. For a donation of $3.50, one can view the live streaming for a day. It was accepting PayPal, so with closed-eyes, fingers-crossed, and a silent prayer hoping that it is not a scam, I paid for it.

It was my first time to use my earnings from this blog. I hope it's worth it. I hope it works. I hope it's not a scam.
