It was just recently that my mother decided to move around stuff in our small living room, the speakers are just put together making it very cluttered in front the television. So she decided to move the pair of speakers at the end of our sofa chair, she taped the wires in the wall so they won’t be scattered in the floor.
The effect of moving the speakers are quite good idea because the sound coming from the speakers became obsolete and better. After moving speakers around I have thought that my sister need a dj equipment for beginners because her loud voice and skills in music are becoming better.

Few more months and we are almost finished in paying our loaned motorcycle and refrigerator that’s why mother is already planning what is the next item she is going to loan. She wants to get a new TV because our TV was already old and the picture quality is not good anymore. I can’t blame her because the TV was already ten years of age and have been brought to electronic shop many times already just to fix.

I have suggested that they should buy a LED TV or flat TV that they can just hang in the wall and doesn’t need a lot of space there are plenty monitor mounts for sale so I am sure it is not going to be a problem if they buy a flat TV.
