Where did July go?
Monday, August 2, 2010
I've been pretty busy this month that I simply haven't had time to write in my blog. Do you really want to hear about my chores and laundry duties? :) Didn't think so. Haha ..
July came and went in a blink of an eye. Where did the time go? I find that I'm slowing down now - it could be the heat or it could be that I feel like I've been moving at 100 miles an hr that it's really time to slow down and pace myself.
Later this week, my sister and her family will be stopping by to visit me. I have not seen my nieces in a while and I miss them dearly. I think the last time I saw them was back in May.
As a heads up to my Toronto friends, I will be in town the second week of September. Maybe we can get together for lunch? I don't see myself coming back any time before that .. :( Just too much stuff going on in Ottawa that requires my attention. I will blog about that later - I promise.
I'm still playing badminton and training at the RA. Some days when I'm not focused, I play like a beginner. I am disappointed in myself when I have a bad night. Last week, I could not focus and it frustrated me. I prefer to play more consistently. Everyone has been training for the CPB tournament in Mississauga next month. The play at the club is more intense. I simply cannot slack off. Tonight is another game night .. I'm on my third tube of feather birds. I go through approximately a tube per month. Sigh ..
Anyway, wine picks for the month ..
Low budget white - the Santa Margherita pinot grigio. A portion of the sales goes to fighting breast cancer. You'll get a great wine and contribute to a great cause.
Low budget red - Concha Y Toro Trio Reserva (Cab Sauv/Shiraz/Cab Franc) 2008
Big budget white - Beringer Chardonnay 2008
Big budget red - Shafer One Point Five Cabernet Sauvignon 2006.

Aww. We will be in HK if you will be in TO the 2nd week of September. So we may end up missing you this time.
Some day, when you go do something, be it sport or whatever, you will just not be able to focus. Say, if you go 10 times, there will likely that 2-3 times of out the 10, you will be playing good. 1 out of 10, you will play like super man (or woman), things just happen to go your way that day.
But... 1 out of the 10 times, everything will NOT go your way. In that type of day, you just need to be glad that you actually WENT to play. That, in itself, is an accomplishment.
it's unfortunate that i won't be able to meet up with you guys. :( but have fun on your HK trip.
even though i have a bad night, it doesn't stop me from going to play. the club members are generally very helpful and encourage me to continue to play more.
Tried the low budget red. Really good! Need to find a reason to step up to the big budget red :P
Glad you liked the low budget red. There are a lot of great reds under $18.
I haven't provided wine picks in a while. Seeing how you actually tried my recommendation, I may continue to provide wine picks for every LCBO release.
