Fruit Flies

The fruit flies are making me sick not literally, I felt so pissed off with them flying around our apartment. I think they are coming from the garbage bag in our balcony which we cannot throw because it is not yet full and it is a waste of money. Garbage bags are not free here and you can’t use any big bags just to throw your garbage, so we are planning to buy the small bags again so we can throw it immediately.

Aside from the flies, the other thing I hate during summer is stench coming from the drainage, when you went out you can smell the stench coming from the drainage I think  it smell because of the warm weather and it is evaporating.

Loud Air Conditioner

Our landlord’s air conditioner is so noisy. It sounds like a boat engine, we have been hearing it all day.  As what I have read online if the air conditioner is loud the unit maybe already old but as the way our landlord’s air conditioner look like it is new. So probably the problem is the  condenser I wonder why they didn’t call a handy man to fix it, they just brought it down from the third floor so they can’t hear it.

Dunno if they open and clean the unit because it might be dirty that’s why it is producing weird sound and if not maybe it has a bad compressor.  Well with this case if the unit is already damage they should buy new one because I think it would be a lot cheaper.

Laundry Detergent

I think I already found the best laundry detergent that I could use at home to wash our clothes. The old bleach we are using the orange version of this which is bubble gum scent is not that good unlike this one you could still smell the scent of clean laundry in your clothes even you hanged the clothes inside your house without direct sunlight. We bought this red one because it is currently on sale, I think it is a new scent in the market 수퍼 타이 – Super Tide.

The packaging says this used enzymatic bleaching, so I guess I don’t need to buy laundry softener and conditioner anymore just to make our laundry smells good.

Anti-slip Flooring

If there’s one thing I could not forget it, that was when I accidentally slip of a public place. My mother and I went to town to use the internet, the shop is in a second floor of an old establishment which is made of hardwood floor including the stairs. I am wearing a clog that time going up is not a problem but going down is such an embarrassment, I slip but because my mother is just in front of me I am not able to slip further but when I step down and I asked her not to walk in front of me I slip up to the bottom and the sound is just so embarrassing that the people inside the internet cafe went out the door and look down what is happening at the stairs, I just laughed to cover up my embarrassment.

Anyway one of the major concerns among property and home owners is accident from slipping. There different forms of anti-slip flooring that could be used in any public buildings, commercial establishments, homes and etc., and this material could be in epoxy floor system, non-slip coating, functional paints and glass flake coating. Using this substances could increase the friction between two surfaces. They also served as protective layer that can prevent your floor from scratches, they are also offer glossy finish to surfaces, odorless and colorless and have fire retardant properties.

Well I think the commercial building where the internet cafe was is not using anti-slip solution and when we went there it looks like it is newly wax or varnished because the floor is very shiny.

Cheap Ways to Remodel your Kitchen

One of the easiest way to change the look of your kitchen is changing the door handles and door of your cabinetry, it is least expensive too rather than remodeling your whole kitchen that would require a lot of money.

You should choose cabinet door and handles according to what you desired but you should know that there are many different kinds of colors, shape and styles to choose from so it is not an easy task to pick one that will compliment your kitchen.

There are rectangular, circular and even oblong cabinet handles which are mostly made of metals and plastics. So you should carefully choose which one you like and will give your kitchen a new look.

Type of Life Insurance

Now a days different type of insurance are available for purchase it is either travel insurance, car insurance, health insurance, life insurance and many more that could be beneficial to you and to your family.  To choose from universal life insurance vs term insurance is somehow confusing which one will be more beneficial to you and to your family.

You should know that universal insurance cost more but it is more beneficial because the policy covers a longer period of time unlike term insurance it only provides coverage for a certain period of time so once the term in the policy is finished you will never benefit from it.

Painting a Classroom

My husband had told me that the room his using to teach the student is at mess.  Paint droplets are  everywhere and the walls are not  well painted  and the way he would look at it, the painting job was done by a kid. Some tables and chairs has also paint splattered on them.

After few days he eventually found out who did the painting job and it is one of the manager in the company,  he did it while everyone is resting and sleeping at home.  As what I have heard he finished doing the job early in the morning, sleepy and tired he didn’t clean the room anymore.

Few things I know to avoid paint mess is using old newspaper or plastic in the floor while applying paint in the wall but it seems the manager was not informed about it so he left a mess.

Modern Business Cards

When I am still working in an internet provider shop my employer’s staff on her newly open beauty saloon had ask me to make business card for them as part of promoting the newly open business. If you don’t know yet business cards are big help for a business to boom aside from using pamphlets and other form of advertisements, it can help to gain more customers and valuable business connections. It can also present a good image about a business by highlighting the provided  services.

Like most other things business cards are also modernized to something new  and what is popular right now are business cards plastic, which are high quality, modern and  more durable compare to the old ones. With this type of business card the tendency of being crumpled is less of your worry and they are water free as well so if even you accidentally splatter a cup of coffee in them the information are still visible and readable  unlike when they are made of card board or hard paper they can easily be torn  and faded once drizzled with water or liquid.
