Yesterday I was watching television, it’s quite amazing that these guys doing these climbing activities manage to carry different things when they are doing so. Maybe what they are carrying and wearing are special of their kind. I saw their boots, they look so tough and of course so cool. I think they are made of special materials to last long and able too with stand the jagged stones of mountains.

When they arrived at their spot, they easily assembled their camp in a snap. What they got there is backpacks that are so organized, so organized they pick each pieces of their equipment like they are on a organized cabinet. Wow, with that kind of equipments you’ll never get lost finding a lost piece of rope or something. Then this one guy have these  emergency equipments, this is what I call a “handyman”.

Imagining all that, these guys are so dedicated for what they are doing. Me, I’m in to jogging, what I got is a pair of trail running shoes and I’m proud of doing so.

Once a week, every Saturday morning, my neighbor friend and I used to have a three round trip jogging inside our subdivision. We also try to go hiking and camping at least trice a year together with our other friends.

The last time we went hiking, that was last month ago my neighbor friend wear his new bought boots and his new backpack while I am wearing my old shoes and old backpack. My backpack though not new but still worked well. Unfortunately, a pair of my old shoes gave up before we reached our resting area. Lucky I am cause my friend has his spare of shoes and he kindly handed it to me to be used temporarily. They usually called it as trail running shoes.  My friend usually use it for his jogging activities. As I wear this shoes, it made me more comfortable.

Actually I am really planning to buy new pair of sneakers for jogging when went back home from hiking but I am looking for that better quality. My friend gave me an idea. But then I also need to buy a new pair of boots for hiking. Now, I have them both.

During my college days, I find it really hard dealing with math subjects like algebra and other related to it specially the calculus subject. Even most of my classmates are worrying how to pass with this calculus subject. But some of them are attending tutorial class while others have their own personal tutors. Of course those who can afford to pay, can attend the tutorial class and can have their personal tutors. But other students like me who cannot afford to it, are just making individual ways to study about it, to understand the subject and sometimes seeking some free resources for us to be able to  make it not  that difficult and to pass the subject.

One time, while my classmates and I are having a group study, one of my group mates open up about this calculus help. He said there is a free calculus help for those who cannot afford to pay like some of us and there are also better calculus tutor for those who can afford to pay. He told us that this idea came from his classmate in other subject who  has  precalculus and statistics study and the one who searched  about the precalculus help and statistics help. This idea of our group mate really helped us a lot. Until now, if  I see him around, I thank him for it.

Every time I watch tv at home, I am not satisfied specially when I’m watching movies. There are lot of commercials and advertises in local channels. It took very long time before I finished watching one movie. I understand that commercials and advertises are big help for the local tv stations because they earn from these. But for me as a viewer and fund of watching movies, they did not meet my satisfaction in watching movies.

One good thing came to me, there is a friend of mine who shared his better suggestion. He is also fund of watching movies like me. His idea about the satellite television providers caught my interest. According to him, this satellite tv providers will be the solution for my dissatisfaction in watching tv. My friend want me to try this satellite tv provider for my satisfaction in watching movies. I’m sure, this is what I’m looking for. Knowing this friend of mine, he always suggests the best ideas to me and to his other friends.

Early this morning while I am cleaning my room, I have noticed that my bed is not that good anymore. I bought it since five years ago and it is still durable but obviously it is old now. I am planning to buy a new one. A bed that is also durable and has better quality than my old one. I am also planning to buy some new bed sheets. I really like that linen type like some of my old bed sheets.  I also want some new mattresses.

I have a friend knows a lot about bedding. Actually she told me that she already bought some new decors for her bedroom. I think she could help me a lot specially in choosing better quality of  bed, good designs and nice color of  linen bed sheets, nice mattress and nice style of  bedroom decors. One of these days, I hope my friend and I could find time to shop together.

Technology of today has gone to far ahead. I an avid fan of a technology magazine since college, there you can read how things evolve by means of technology. One article that I’ve read is about a locking system that would change the perspective of using keys. We all know that if there is a lock, there is a key. Reading more about this article, you are using your own finger print to unlock it. For a fast conclusion, it seems like that the system is a keyless lock, which at first is unbelievable. I mean, it’s like reading from a comic or something. On the other part, back then these were just ideas. They also tried to build one, but just like the first run, it fails.

There are some factors that the system it self cannot understand. Although they conducted many experiment, still the results were unacceptable. You can even scan your photocopied finger print and still it unlocks. They can’t figured it out what seems to be the problem. I have read that article from a magazine from long time ago now and back then the whole system was a trash. Lately I was informed by a friend that there was a new edition of the magazine that included the same article of the keyless lock, but with some improvement.

If this system of the keyless lock is successful now, there are many things that may benefit on it, like some added protection. On the other hand, imagine that you don’t have to worry about loosing your key.
