CARLOS YULO To Receive Php 5 MILLION as Astig Sports Bonus!

Carlos Yulo just made the impossible, possible as he makes a Gold Medal feat out of Gymnastics Floor Exercise and Vault events at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Truly, he's an athlete to be inspired from because this wasn't something that was achieved overnight, but something that he has worked hard for over decades.

It was so nostalgic seeing him as a kid training for his dream of getting a gold medal for the Southeast Asian Games, and I'm sure he's gotten a ton of that already. We were all getting little to no sleep just to get a glimpse of what he was doing at the Bercy Arena. Needless to say, he has made history!

DigiPlus and ArenaPlus had him as a brand ambassador. Prior to him leaving the country, they got him a proper send off where he said "Thank you for the recognition and your eagerness to support me. I promise to do my best, and I am truly grateful for your support and need your prayers for all participating Filipino athletes in the Olympics!"

DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco wished Carlos to continue to have that "astig" Filipino spirit. He also added how proud he is of Caloy's feat to represent the country and DigiPlus. They also wanted to express their huge congratulations to the Filipino Golden Boy and would want to celebrate it by giving him Php 5 Million for his hard work and dedication to the sport.

They wish this would help fund his future training, to hone not just his skills but his fellow gymnasts, and countrymen whom he has inspired by doing the impossible, possible!

He surely will have tons of people waiting for him once he lands on the airport. Congratulations Carlos Yulo! Your DigiPlus, ArenaPlus family, and the whole Philippines is proud of you!

The House down South!

My cousin has been slaving away for the construction of their house in the province down south and I'm seeing quite a remarkable improvement in the housing conditions there. Flooring installation has been done and they are already on the finishing part of the house. It made the whole space look expensive and posh just by putting in hard wood looking floors. The overall look of the house together with the furniture and appliances is very cohesive and I love how it felt warm and inviting compared to the last time I went there. The kitchen itself was not forgotten and even the walls were installed with tiles breaking that vintage feel that they were going for previously. It now has modern clean lines on it that my cousin and her husband adore! We'll go there after a few weeks for the blessing and I must not forget to bring with me a house warming gift. Maybe a couple of pots from Mom's garden which she can turn into indoor accents wouldn't hurt!

Martha Stewart would surely envy her once it's finished because of the big garden she'd like to put up. The soil is so fertile on that part of the world so they will pretty soon have vegetables and fruit bearing trees for our family's consumption. I can't imagine how great that would look like to see how the kids would also join harvesting the crops. Things have been great and easy with construction and I wish they went through expert establishments like SEARS when it comes to installing all of that inside the house. It would have been way easy!

Getting Our House Fixed

When I arrived from work this morning I had to go and change clothes so I can rush to the gym. It's what I do on a normal day but when I picked up my shirt I heard something crack. My foot suddenly slid in one of the floor boards. Yeah I know this house is pretty old and we might need to renovate the second floor but I almost fell in this time. With the funds that I have right now it might be possible but the logistics of living somewhere else while doing that is giving me nightmares. That and I need a reliable Floor company that would be able to provide me with the design and structure that I need. I still want hardwood floors and the warmth it gives. It would be nothing fancy; just something that would look good on my space and give me the non slippery/rustic feel I have previously. Maybe I'll purchase more pieces to match it but as for now I'll settle for the old things I have since they are pretty expensive.

I don't want to fall in on it again so I'll try and look for ways to fix that temporarily then purchase hardwood floors once renovation starts. It was funny this morning but it's good that I am thinking of renovating this now. I guess it is time. It wouldn't be humorous if I fell all the way through and land on the ground floor right?! Ha-ha!

How about you?! Have you ever thought of getting your house re-modeled or fixed?
