It's a pleasure to update you all with what I achieved from my 2005 New Year's resolution. If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that falling in love is my greatest achievement last year!

The rest of what I didn't achieve last year is still in effect for this year. My 2006 New Year's Resolution are:

1. Be more faithful to God and attend Sunday mass regularly.
2. Exchange of vows with my soulmate after annulment of my previous marriage.
3. Provide my kids a complete family and support whatever deams they want to be.
4. Make my loved ones happy. Be busy in the real world away from online games.
5. Spend time and money wisely. Save money. Invest. Buy property.
6. Stay away from Fast Foods. Lose weight, get back my 27" waistline, and keep it for good.
7. Be wiser. Prettier. Happier.

My potential soulmate doesn't like me to work abroad so I will be here waiting for him to be with him again soon...

Make your own 2006 New Year's Resolution, too, and tag 2006resolutions.

After my daughter had her lunch, she told me she wanted to buy some books and we accompanied her to SM North EDSA. We passed by at Smart Wireless Center first and bought eLoad for my eldest son in Riyadh.

Abenson Appliance Center was just adjascent to Smart outlet so I had my chance to come closer and listen to the beautiful video concert of Celine Dion playing in SONY DHC-FLX5DSW Home Theater system. I was fascinated with its Cinema Sound feature and after couple of demos by friendly sales men, I was disappointed upon learning its selling price was PHP 39,900.00 (Flat screen TV not included)! Kids were patiently watching silently. I looked at them with guilt.

With a bitter smile, I asked for the product brochure and left the place to buy the book. No matter how much I wanted to buy stuffs I liked, I do not have the freedom to do so. My priority right now is to send the children to college, that's my vow to God for the life extension I'm enjoying...

All it takes is a little imagination and a little bit of magic...

The 16th edition of Bolsa de Turismo de Lisboa - BTL (Lisboa Travel Market), will host the first tourism fair in the european circuit with 480 stands, 46,800 visitors and more than 60 countries represented between January 21 and 25 at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa, Park of the Nations. The fair will offer delicacies from all around the country, and how I wish to go there and have an excellent opportunity not only to savour Portugal's regional cuisine but also experience the warmth of Portuquese hospitality and their culture.

If I cannot visit this month, I still have time to prepare for a greater opportunity to watch the UEFA EURO 2004 Final Tournament since Portugal is a host for the European Soccer Championship which will take place between June 12 and July 4 this year where Sérgio Conceição hopes 2004 will see Portugal's 'golden generation' finally match their billing. Match schedule and competition informations are also provided at euro2004.com. Euro 2004 Packages with Tickets are now available online.

I checked out popular tours and affordable accomodations at Portugal Online Travel and I believe I will save more time, money and effort if I will get a professional Guided Tour to enjoy breathtaking scenic views, visit historical places and understand well the country's culture. I believe accomodation is not a problem since Pousadas of Portugal, or Pousadas de Portugal, are a group of over 40 exclusive hotels, located throughout the country. The two types of Pousadas are: Historical Pousadas, which are located in national monuments, convents, castles, or fortresses; and Regional Pousadas, which are found in areas of spectacular natural or historic beauty. See Map of Pousadas

Ah! I missed those days when travelling was only a common escapade, we packed and leave whenever we feel the urge to escape from busy life. Well, those were the days. I therefore invite you to join me to write an interesting blog about Portugal to qualify for the B$400,000,000,000 gift from Afonso.

Now the deal (of Afonso) on behalf of Mar Português:

Write a small post in your blog about Portugal. Not the common stuff. Everyone knows we have great wines, lots of sun, excelent beaches and a warm people. You will have to be more creative than that.

As soon as the (BS) market reopens you will get your billions. Reply to this message with a link to your post.

BlogShares is a fantasy market and most of the stuffs we do online are somewhat not real too... but, the beauty of Portugal and its people are...

Others might write a better blog about Portugal but what matters here is I discovered many facts about Afonso's country, isn't that amazing? And, to know the countries I already visited, please click here.

Goodluck to all...
