Mantra Theatre

Back to my house after a satisfying last rehearsal, my neighbor called me to thank for all the help she received when she was preparing her annual office party. Tonight is the final judgment night whether all of the preparation was for nothing or is the party going successful. Her office happens to be near the theater I liked to visit so I offered her for a ride. I’ve been helping her with the casino stuff preparation so one more help seemed to be just fine.

Casino. That is the theme of my neighbor’s party tonight. I was driving her to the party location when she told me about the history of the party theme. It turned out the first person who sprung the idea of casino style for her office party was her colleague who is really into casino games. Casino games? I did not even think that such things exist. She continued her story then. Since not many of us can afford to go to Las Vegas to visit the casino houses or just don’t have enough money to place a real bet or just don’t like the real gambling which involving real money. Casino games is basically just answering their craving for casino type of games.

Of course, this phenomenon also influenced by the popularity of Internet in our days. The casino games can be downloaded online. Some are free, but some will require us to pay some amount of money. Not only that, following the popularity of online games, there are also games that can be played online in online casino websites.

I usually don’t like casino and gambling. But this one seems to be interesting and fun. If it’s only a game without really involving any money on risk or put you in a great debt only in one bet, I think I may give it a try.

Finally, I finished all my musical rehearsals for the week. After watching a couple more shows in theater tomorrow, I will escape from the New York City life with its Broadway and all of its magnificent art shows to a beautiful place called Myrtle Beach this weekend.

I discussed about my holiday after rehearsal with two of my fellow girl friends who will join me to go to Myrtle Beach this weekend. It seemed like they had been looking for some information about Myrtle Beach and found Myrtle Beach Golf Vacations there. Although they are not professionals nor very much into golf, but they surely wanted to try it and asked me to come with them.

I never play golf before, so I said that I was not sure I would be able to do some golfing. But, my friends assured me that I would not need any experience in playing golf to enjoy the game and the view. The Golf Myrtle Beach is designed mainly for vacation purposes so all I need is a spirit to enjoy the holiday. After some thoughts, I thought it would be nice too to have a new experience.

There were many interesting Myrtle Beach Golf Packages offered in the Internet. My friends had take a look at some of them and finally decided on two courses of Myrtle Beach Golf. After listening to some brief descriptions about the courses, I decided to join them on those two courses. They already had the resort managed those courses, so when we arrive there we can play golf right away without having trouble dealing with the arrangements. It is so simple and easy and I’m already excited about my golf vacation in Myrtle Beach now.

In two days from now, I will be leaving my beloved New York City and enjoying my time with the natural beach view and of course, a new experience in golfing.

With my week days full of classes and art shows, I need a different thing to do on my weekends. Since I love sports too, I usually go to the Central Park for cycling. It has been five months now from the first time I started to use a Mountain Bike in Central Park. It wasn’t quite the right decision. I switched to using a BMX Bike and later to a Road Bike for my Central Park ride and have now settled on a simple Comfort Bike, which I use every weekend whenever I can. For you who want to start cycling in the Central Park for yourself, I will share some things I know about it.

If you cannot provide your own bicycle, you can find a bike rental at the Loeb Boathouse parking lot at East 74th street. The rental is open daily from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. Please be noted that the rental only opens from March to October.

If you are a beginner, you may consider getting better saddles for your bike. It is better if you do your cycling during the hours when the park is closed to traffic. You can also cycle in the biker’s lane when the park is opened to traffic. However of course it will be much safer and comfortable if you do it when the traffic is closed. You are also required to ride your bicycle in a anti-clockwise direction. If you like, you can also use a special cycling shorts which will allow you to move around more freely when cycling.

If you want to walk around Central Park while on your cycling trip, you may want to consider getting some locks for your bicycle as it is not too safe to leave your bicycle unattended without locks. I always cycle with my family and it is always fun to have an activity that can bring your family together. After taking some rounds, we will sit down together by the lake and enjoying the meals we bring from home.

Cycling in Central Park is a cheap and nice way to spend your weekend together with your family in a healthy way. It will strengthen your family bonding and keep your body health at the same time. Happy cycling!

I got exciting news two earlier this week! My dear uncle and aunt will come to visit our family from San Francisco this weekend. They have been hearing my stories about New York and Broadway Musicals and are finally be able to spare some time to have a weekend here. It is from them I got my passion in arts and theaters. I’ve been telling them how great the art and theater life here. New York has the endless sources of art and music performances from the big stages to the small ones. You will never run out shows to watch here in New York City.

My excitement came to worry when they called and informed us that they have some problems with their Honda Accord on their way to the San Francisco airport. My uncle and aunt do not really know much about cars and I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to handle the situation. However, they told us not to be worried since they already called a San Francisco auto repair shop to come and help them.

Upon a checking, the mechanic decided that the timing belt had worn out and needed to be replaced. Since this was only a minor problem and took only a little time to fix, they could continue their travel immediately. I was very pleased to hear that and continued my preparation to welcome them.

Now, they are on their way to our house and I already have a plan for them during their visit. I have a schedule of several shows which I will take them to watch and some places to visit. They will spend three days here and I will make it the best trip they ever have to New York City.

Broadway New York may be coast to coast apart from Las Vegas, but the casino atmosphere can be found in Broadway theater buildings. When theaters show musicals with Vegas casino style setting, you will have no idea that you are actually in New York instead of Las Vegas. I have to give it up to the prop men that obviously have done their job really well.

That thought came to my mind when my neighbor told me that she was appointed as the organizer for her office annual party. The meeting had decided that the theme for this year is casino. She admitted that she had difficulty in making the idea into reality. She knew only a little about casino, only from movies and shows, and could not find anyone who could give her more information about it. She also did not know how to find the appropriate props for the party. I invited her then to come to my house to talk about it.

I told her there must be some party organizers which could help, so we browsed the Internet to find some more information about it. We searched casino party in search engine and found some good casino party planners and rentals which really help. They are professional party planners who focused only in casino themed party and events so they definitely know much about it. They are not only planning the party but also renting the complete supplies. They are also happy to give you ideas on the party when you cannot find anything to come up with.

My neighbor was really excited that she already found a solution to her problem. She wrote down all the planners and rentals in our city and visited them right away that day. While me, now I think I know how the Broadway plays I watched get their help with the props.

After having busy weeks, I now definitely need a vacation. I looked at my schedule and found that it is possible to be done next week. I have finished my papers and they are ready to be submitted tomorrow. There will also be no new musical shows that will be performed in Broadway next week. I think I can get away for several days to get different views and some beach fresh air.

The first place which came to my mind was definitely Myrtle Beach Resorts in South Carolina that I had browsed earlier. I have been tempted to go there since the first time I found the information about how beautiful it is. The scenery is so wonderful and natural that will give you a memorable escape from the metropolitan New York City. Now that I finally have the time and opportunity to experience it, I will not waste it away.

I browsed to make a reservation in one of Myrtle Beach Hotels for my vacation next week. I looked at several hotels with the closest to beach views. I finally decided to pick a hotel with a broad beach scenery and access, yet also has complete facilities within the hotel itself.

I told two of my classmates about my vacation plan in one class then later that night. Always being beach lovers, they were very eager to join with me to spend some days in Myrtle Beach Resort too. They were also told before that it is very amazing for those who want to feel the warm air of the south but never really got a chance to actually experience it by themselves. Now, the three of us are all set to have our first vacation there and experience, hopefully, one of the best moments in our lives.

Yesterday after attending a parent meeting in my kids’ school, I rushed home to get prepared to go to a small theater I already picked to do a research for my paper. The theater is presenting amateur night on Fridays and I am writing about the amateur actors who perform on small stages once in a while. I got involved in a very deep and interesting interviews with the actors and time did fly by quickly. When I looked at the clock on the far side of the theater wall, I realized that I should have been home an hour ago.

When I got home, I stumbled to the bills stuck up on the front table. I remembered that I should pay off some of my debts today. I had planned it last week but constantly did not have the time to go to different places paying them one by one. I realized that I could not keep postponing the issue. Then I remembered my friend’s story when she also had similar problem. She liked shopping very much so she had lots of credit cards from different banks. One day, she just went crazy with all the credit card bill she received and were in difficulties in paying them all off. She solved her problem by having a debt consolidation and only paying one credit card debt instead of many.

I immediately searched for debt consolidation companies which could help me with my problem in the internet. Several companies appeared shortly as the result, and I took as many information as I could about debt consolidation and how they can help. The next day, I call one of the companies and get all my debt consolidated. I have to say that it is a very easy and helpful way to solve your debt problems and focus your energy on other more important things.

Today, I have to pick up my kids, attend three classes in a row and go to a musical show with my friends. I can focus on my family, study, and hobby better and do not have to worry about going to many places paying credit card bills and debts.

Responding to the Hollywood musical version release of Mamma Mia Broadway musical, we had our class discussing on it yesterday. All of us have definitely seen both the movie and stage musical at least once which had been the strongest reason why it was chosen. One of the themes that was discussed there was the mother and daughter relationship portrayed in the musical. The relationship between those two was so special since Donna is a single mother. The fact that they are both women strengthen the emotional relationship between them.

This mother to daughter bond brings me to review my own relationship with my daughter. When I spent my time thinking of it, my sister came to ask me about the gift she would buy for her daughter’s 16th birthday. My niece is having her 16th birthday party next Saturday at her house and my sister has invited the big family to the celebration. Since 16 is a special age, marking the adulthood of my niece, my sister wants to have a sweet 16 gift for her.

We soon ended up browsing the internet to find what gifts are available online. After a few search, we found quite many gifts offered. They are definitely sweets and unique, the ones that will be a great collection and memorable for the rest of her life. The prices are not so expensive also since a sweet meaningful gift is not necessarily expensive. My sister finally decided to buy a unique frame with sweet and elegant design. She will put a photo of her daughter on one of her most memorable moment to make the gift even more personal and intimate.

After she left, I came back to my thoughts before and decided to find a small gift for my little daughter, the one which is not expensive but will have a deep meaning and she will remember and appreciate even after she grows up. This is how I show her that our relationship is special and will always be.

Contemplating the glamor life of Broadway artists, I find the urge to plan investments for my future and my own kids. It is very common that they were very rich and famous as theater actors in their young ages but they have almost nothing in their old times. I spent the whole week asking around for best form of investment. Since the value of money decreases as time goes by, my accountant friend suggested me to invest in gold coins instead.

I couldn’t be more agreeable with her, so I searched the internet for any information on gold investments. I soon found a website which provides information aboutinvesting in gold coin and bullion. I found this site to be helpful for beginners like me. It has complete and specific details on investment it sells such as gold bullion. The web also shows the market price and presents the image of each investment to help visitors get more thorough understanding about them.

If you are concerned about your children’s future and are still looking for the best investment, you may want to choose this type of investment. Investment in metals other than gold such as silver, platinum, and palladium are also available if you are interested.
