shiny car parts

November 13, 2009 By

Before, I never had any idea how to call the shiny parts of the car until I ran across chrome accessories. Chrome is a slang word for chromium, which is a kind of metal. It provides a classy contrast on any area especially to vehicles. It is one of the reasons why most vehicle sparkle that is of course aside from the body paints.

However, it is not easy to tell chrome from any other shiny finishes if the parts are not placed side by side. Accordingly, chrome is a more reflective (brighter), bluer (less pale, grayish, or yellowish), and more specular (the reflection is deeper, less distorted, more like a mirror) than other finishes. It is being said that in chrome you can see clearly the reflection of the sky.

Hmmm, I’ll keep this in mind so that I will not get fooled especially that we are planning to buy a car probably next year. This would definitely help me in it.

Finding the Right Shoes for You

November 9, 2009 By

Finding the Right Shoes for YouIt is a fact that today we are overwhelmed by choices! If we go to a drive through hamburger place we have about 20 choices to make and that’s just for the sandwich. Then you have to decide on fries or onion rings, what kind of drink, and do you want to biggie size or super size that? With the way our society has become accustomed to having so many choices in everything it is no surprise that shoes are the same way.

The comfort and support that the shoe offers is of vital importance to the health of your feet now and in the future. As a matter of fact, wearing improper shoes can cause way more problems than just sore toes. Wearing a shoe that does not support or that is the wrong size can cause back pain and even spinal injury. How is that for a wake up call? The discomfort that you suffer in your foot due to improperly fitting shoes is minimal compared to the serious back pain it can lead to.

shopping, shopping, shopping

November 9, 2009 By

Shopping for the holidays is in the air once again. We are so lucky that we have lots of freebies yesterday. We were able to get two shirts and three pairs of socks from the items we purchased. Aside from that we also enjoyed the big discounts in almost all our purchases. Since the store is on sale, our shopping experience is not purely good. There are so many people and almost all cashier counters is jam pack with people that are ready to check out their items.

We are ahead of the traditional shopping season. But, we are certainly waiting for the Black Friday, it usually occurred between the 23rd and the 29th of November. I’ve heard most stores offer huge discounts and sale from all items, which is the best time for me to buy earrings. Hehehe!

not so lucky

November 8, 2009 By

Last month, hubby and I bought washing machine at one appliance store in town. What we do not know is that the appliance store is on promo. We were able to get raffle tickets with a chance to win 40 inch plasma television. We had at least 10 coupons that took me few minutes to fill up.

Hopeful, we waited for a call that never happened. It’s not our luck, I guess. I just remember to look at the tickets and it’s already one month since the grand raffle draw. Hahaha! I have to throw the tickets away. I think there is no hope for that.

I searched for the prices of LCD tv from different brands including bell tv. The truth is, we have plans to buy another television for the other room. That is the reason we are hopeful to win the raffle. Since it did not happen, then we have no choice. We have to buy it in the coming days. For now we have to scout for prices and reviews to know which of those televisions are good.

Home Remedies for Fever

November 3, 2009 By

Fever is a frequent medical sign that describes an increase in internal body temperature to levels above normal. Fever is most accurately characterized as a temporary elevation in the body’s thermoregulatory set-point, usually by about 1–2 °C (1.8-3.6 °F). This is caused by an elevation in the thermoregulatory set-point, causing typical body temperature to rise. A feverish individual has a general feeling of cold despite an increased body temperature, and increases in heart rate, muscle tone and shivering, all of which are caused by the body’s attempts to counteract the newly perceived hypothermia and reach the new thermoregulatory set-point. Well, here are some things that you can do at home to help alleviate fever:

  • Extract 1 teaspoon each juice of tulsi leaves and bel flowers. Add 1 teaspoon honey. Take twice every day.
  • Tea made by boiling 1teaspoon fenugreek seeds (methidana), taken twice or thrice a day provides excellent remedy. (A little honey or lemon juice can be added to improve the flavour).
  • Grind a few roots of the mango tree into a fine paste and apply on the palm and soles of the patients.

my complaining mom

November 2, 2009 By

Mom says that she hates me in some way. I’m really confused with that. Two months ago, she ordered me to have the cable subscription disconnected because it gets in the way of my youngest brother studies. I did follow her.

However, she is complaining now that we have our subscription in our apartment. She is joking that she is jealous and angry about transferring the subscription from her house to mine. We all know that jokes are half meant, half not. But, she is my mom and I can’t talk back to her. So, I keep my thoughts inside my head.

Okay the only way to stop her from that is to return her subscription under my name. Before I do that, I have to check the latest pricing of several cable providers. I have to compare before deciding. As I scout some packages, I get a chance to check the Direct TV Packages. Actually, I can’t subscribe to this because it’s an international company. But, I just enjoy looking around.

In Direct TV there are about 250 channels ours is just 50 the same as their family package. My mom will surely love that. But, enough about Direct Sat TV I still have to check the local cable provider besides I can’t get their service. See yah!

bits and pieces about gold

November 2, 2009 By

Since I started blogging, I have been reading a lot of things regarding gold coins as an investment. Actually, I know a bit information gold even before my blogging days. Since the beginning of history, it has been a highly sought-after precious metal for coinage, jewelry, and other arts. Also, it is considered one of the most liquid investment trading throughout the world daily. It can be sold in any country of your choice.

Many people that own gold stores them and hold it as a hedge against inflation or other economic disruptions. Weakness in the U.S. Dollar tends to be offset by strengthening of gold prices. Accordingly, it remains the principal financial asset for almost all central banks alongside foreign currencies and government bonds. That is why more and more people buy gold coin or they buy gold bullion and trade these to store their wealth.

Well, other people find it appealing to just collect gold coins instead of using it as an investment. I’ve learned a few months ago that they call themselves numismatics. But, I don’t belong to those people. I would rather use gold for jewelry purposes. If my goals differ from my goal today in the not so distant future, probably I’ll buy gold coin as an investment. For now, I don’t think that fits my status.
