better way to have air circulation

Yesterday, mom and I had a chance to chat since it’s my day off. I’m happy to hear news from her that they are okay. But, she said the weather isn’t too comfortable. They are indeed experiencing summer just like here that’s why she is planning to install ceiling fans. She ignored this thought before because the air-conditioning unit does its job. But, it certainly consumes a lot of electricity so she has to find ways to reduce their bill. One way is to put fans to have better circulation.

She’s currently on the lookout for teens and kids ceiling fans that are affordable. Well, I want to help her out, but I’m just too busy right now. I’m hoping she finds what she’s looking for. But, I’m excited for the results of her plans and how my room will transform. My younger brother occupies my space now since it’s been four years that I left the house. I wonder how it looks right now, though I’m sure it’s either manly or kiddy. Hehehe…

it will come at the right time

I am really happy when hubby finally able to grab a job in lieu of his profession that is in home care facility. But, it’s not what I want him to do. I want him to work in a hospital just as he always dreams. Ever since the first time we meet, he always told me that he wanted to work in the hospital especially in the OR department. This is the place where he can use a lot of things including med carts and get to involve in the operation itself. He won’t experience those things in the home care, that’s why I’m pushing him not to give up on hunting for work in the hospital.

Well, I feel great when I hear him still having enthusiasm and not giving up on his dreams. I know it will come at the right time. It doesn’t matter if it comes later. I’m praying that it comes earlier. We will just see what unfolds in the future.

alleviating my mood and bringing back myself

It’s quite a stressful week for me from having cash shortage, not enough sleep, getting warnings from boss and so on. I feel like unwinding, thus doing things like playing music and singing at the same time even if I’m always out of tune. Well, I’m not applying for a contest so it’s okay to be out of tune. But, doing those things can definitely help alleviate my mood and bring back myself to normal.

I’m just imagining how it really feels good to sing my heart out while playing the guitar. I’m already tapping my feet like I’m using the Morley Pedals. Well, that goes my imagination. There’s little I can do for now as those things are out of hand. But, I’m sure it would be a lot of fun.

Money Saving Shopping Tips

Have you already squeezed every last penny out of your budget? Maybe not! Thanks to free market capitalism, we can choose from a wide variety of products at a wide variety of prices pretty much any time we want to buy something. Unlike investing, saving money on purchases doesn’t require any specialized training and is an easy way for anyone to stretch their budget a little farther.

No matter what your income level, you can give yourself more breathing room by becoming a savvy shopper. Here are five tips to help you get started.

  • Buy cosmetics from drug stores and discount retail chains such as K-Mart. The same Revlon or Cover Girl lipstick can cost four times more at department stores.
  • You can save over 75 percent by buying Christmas decorations a week or two after Christmas.
  • Alkaline batteries are not worth the extra the extra cost if the device is to be used occasionally. Zinc batteries retain their charge well for an occasional use.
  • Most cars do not need premium gasoline. Also, there is not much difference between different brands of gasoline. Most cars can use regular gas without any problems. If you have an expensive car, read the owner’s manual to find what kind of gasoline your car needs.
  • It almost never makes sense to buy an extended warranty. On average only 4 to 15 cents of every dollar paid for this service is spent on service. The rest is just profit for retailers.

 

plan for the future

Oh yeah! I forgot to say that hubby’s cousin already found a job in one of the best hotels in town. But, it takes a while before he was able to grab that vacancy. He is even in the verge of giving up and just go back home. Good thing with the guidance and motivation of their aunt, he stayed and continue his hunt. So, he successfully lands a job though the pay isn’t that much. Still, it’s great he has a job for a start.

Even if it’s still three weeks or a month since he started, his aunt keeps on telling him to plan for the future and consider other options. He can do that by enrolling to courses that interest him like that of senior fitness specialist certification course. Even before, he is telling that he wants this kind of job, plus he himself devout to fitness. So, it would truly be a perfect training for the job that could give him satisfaction. Oh well, I wish him all the luck he needs to reach whatever he wants.

adapting takes more time and focus

Woo… It’s been ages since the last time I posted something here. I really feel sorry about that, but things get way too much for me to handle. It’s like coming back to the corporate world becomes difficult. I’m no longer used to this kind of stuff that’s why adapting takes more time and focus.

Anyway, I guess I can confidently say that I was able to familiar with my job as well as my schedule. So, here I am again trying my post to update this blog.

What’s new to me? Well, like I said I already have a job for more than four months now. News, we transferred to a new house, which is pretty much my type. It’s bigger and better as compared to the last one. But, there is still tons of things to do. I’m easily spotted checking different hardware company for knobs, handles and so on. I even tried checking industrial supply company to see if I can find the perfect item. I’m quite picky in terms of the things I like. It takes time before I could decide which one to choose. If I buy, it should be the best to get my money’s worth. [Read more...]

Beauty Tips with Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet  is one of the most beautiful women on the scene right now, that doesn’t have an entire army of stylists behind her to help her look her best at all times. In fact, she does her own makeup even for red carpet events, she admits. In the latest issue of InStyle magazine, the British actress, who is now the ambassador for Lancome, dishes beauty and makeup tips, while also offering her female fans helpful advice for when they’re in front of the camera.

The most surprising part that one can’t but agree, Kate’s admission that she does her own makeup, whereas even smaller celebrities use at least one stylist to help them out when they go out in public for red carpet events, and not only. So, Kate sticks by the basic rule of how you can’t have more than one facial trait emphasized: it’s either the eyes or the lips.

With her, it’s mostly the lips, which she likes to cover in bright red. For some reason, Kate rarely goes for the heavy smoky eyes look on the red carpet. Of course, she also uses foundation: throughout the years, she discovered that she got better results by using a mix of two foundations instead of just one. At the same time, she steers clear from powder for a reason she’s not afraid to make public. [Read more...]
