Now that the El Nino phenomenon has once again struck the entire country, it is best to make sure that we have drums filled with water, just in case there’s shortage of water supply. The problem with steel drums is that it gets rusty over time so the water stinks. It would be great to have stainless steel drums, but I’m sure those are expensive. So we’re just going to have to settle with our plastic drums for our emergency water supply. Make sure you do too.

Since I’m currently at home with a lot of time in my hands, blogging, plurking and using facebook occupies pretty much most of my time. Of course, that’s second to my mommy duties. And recently, I have been rather fascinated with joining blog contests. I chanced upon Animetrics blog from her plurk page, we have some plurk friends in common. When I learned that she is going to have a contest to commemorate her blog’s first year, I told myself I’m going to join it. In her teaser, she mentioned that she will be awarding the first person to give an entry a special prize. Too bad someone else beat me to it, but here’s hoping I can convince her to award me one of the prizes.

Personally, I wanted the Neutrogena Wave Starter Kit. But I’m going to opt for a different prize. I wanted to win the ACE Water Spa gift certificates for my son. Since my hubby and I are both in between jobs, bringing the little man to a beach or a pool resort is not that feasible, given our tight budget. On top of that, the reason I wanted to bring him there, is because we were told by his occupational therapist that swimming is a good activity for sensory integration. My son is currently going through occupational therapy three times a week for sensory integration. We have yet to go back to his developmental pedia for the diagnosis and his second check up, hopefully its not Autism.

So I really hope I win the GCs to Ace Water Spa so we could bring him there. It’s also a good thing that the said facility is within the metro so going there doesn’t have to be expensive and difficult.
