Missing my bicycle
Auto insurance quotes have never been much of a concern for me as I have never owned a vehicle. Well, not a four-wheeled one anyway. Years back I did drive a motorcycle, and a scooter, sometime around 20 years ago. While I never got insurance for either of those vehicles, I also remember having a lot of fun driving them, even with the few mishaps I’ve had on the road.
What I do miss most is my bicycle. I think if I hadn’t gone into photography as a hobby I would probably have bought myself a bicycle for Christmas. Especially so because I need the exercise and I need to lose weight.
Things start to sound familiar after a year …
It’s been a year and a month since I first got my Nikon D60 DSLR camera, and yearly events are starting to sound familiar now that I’m hearing about them for the second time.
This year’s Aliwan Fiesta will take place on April 22-24, which is Thursday to Saturday. Pretty much like last year’s schedule, now that I’ve looked at my picasa album from the first time I did some shooting at the Aliwan.
I’d like to shoot at the Aliwan again this year, just to see if I can come up with better photos after a year.
Will this bag fit the bill?
A Rimowa store is now open at the Powerplant Mall. This store carries just about the most fascinating luggage I have ever seen, but also the most expensive. It’s the main reason why I haven’t gone inside the store to look at and try out any of their bags. I am very much tempted to do so, nevertheless, because I’d like to have a strong bag for my camera equipment when I’m traveling by air. There are times when it is not possible for me to lug the Tamrac with me and I need a durable case that will keep my equipment safe. I wonder if the Rimowa will do …
Automatic Health Card
One of the medical benefits we have at the office is a card that we were issued. It looks like an ATM card and works pretty much the same as one, except it didn’t have any money in it. At first we did not understand how this health savings account worked, thinking that we had to deposit money into the card so that it would work. I put mine away in my drawer, thinking that it was just taking up space in my wallet.
Our boss clarified that bit for us. What we could do with the card was show it at any accredited hospital during an emergency and the hospital would either swipe the card at their terminals or call the health card provider who will verify that we are indeed bona fide members of the program. The hospital will then treat us and pass on the charges to the card provider. We could practically walk out of the hospital after the treatment, without shelling out any cash.
Sounds good, but honestly, I really don’t want the opportunity to put the card to the test.
