Air conditioned room

admin — Fri, 04 May 2012 13:36:06 +0000

I love the thought that after a very tiring day I would go home to a very cold and comfortable abode. I can’t thank husband enough for finally agreeing to put an air-conditioning unit at home for the two daughters. We live near one of the coldest place in the country but since the El Nino phenomenon, the summer time now is unbearably hot! It’s more difficult when there’s infant and toddler at home – the changing weather is often the culprit of their sickness.

So now, with a very comfortable home, we can enjoy a day of movie watching while cuddling. Or a day of browsing facebook or doing some conferencing service
seems to be more enjoyable now. I wonder why we thought about this thing now. If we have placed an air-con way before maybe I have been more productive while I was on my maternity leave.

Aquarium at Home

One of my favorite places to do the art of doing nothing is in front our aquarium at home. Having an aquarium for ten years, I am glad that husband has learned to love fishes too. In fact, he was the one who bought a bigger aquarium and decided to keep large koi fishes and hammerheads.

My favorite pet fish is my red heart-shaped parrot fish that was as large as my hand and when she died I can’t imagine taking care of another parrot fish. So we decided to get koi fishes, gold fish and hammerheads since they are easier to look after.

I want a Music Room

One of the things I am carefully thinking to put up in our future home sweet home is a music room not only for husband’s guitar and music files but also for the Choir. I want a spacey room where a dozen member of the Choir can comfortably sit on a saturday night on our weekly practice.

Maybe when my kids are grownup we can enroll them on some music lesson so they can start playing some musical instruments like a maru guitar and store it in our music room. Or I shall start trying out some new musical instruments to keep up with my musically-inclined family.

In feng-shui house plants are lucky, they say it can help increase your wealth but you need to know where to put it to get those mysterious benefits. However if you plan on placing house plants you must learn to know where’s the best location for each plant to grow healthy even in scarcity of sunlight.

Putting a plant in your window could up some fresh air. Plants produce oxygen and it helps remove harmful carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Though there are no known syntheroid side effects on plants, however you need to check if the plants are good indoors or not. A base of roses in your center table of can add up aesthetic beauty. Hanging plants are good in the kitchen windows and green plants that are tall can enhance the main door entrance.

Since the summer season here and my daughter would always request for a pool, we bought an Intex Snapset Pool for her. Goodbye to inflatable pools when you got a snapset pool. In a snap you got a pool for the kids to plunge in.

The instructions in setting up the snapset pool is simple. Snap it and open on a clean and flat area, fill some water and boila! You got a pool for your little ones. When you need to drain the water, simply fold one part for the water to flow out.

On Condo Living

admin — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 07:47:33 +0000

If you live in the metro, steel buildings, condominiums and high-rise buildings are the usual sight to behold. This is one good reason that the sale of condominium units are increasing. If you consider yourself getting a condo and live in the metro there are pros and cons to consider.

One of the pros is that everything is next to you. You get to enjoy the beauty of the city and explore all that it has to offer. Establishments you need to get your stuffs at home are nearby. You live where everything is handed over, need a parking area? A gym? A pool? 24/7 security? 24/7 electricity and water?

The cons? The price of living in condo is more than twice the cost of living on the residential area or on a home sweet home in a subdivision where you can enjoy a “real soil” or a tree at your backyard.

Living Room Must-haves

If a classic sofa would make the living room comfortable enough, some colorful cotton throw pillows with a nice design of Snowflake Obsidian Beads to match the whole theme could make it look grand. If there’s a small space for the living room, try placing a big mirror on one of its wall. You can decorate the whole area with the theme you have in mind but make sure to add colors that match and won’t hurt the eyes.

The center table says something about the homeowner so try putting a scented candle, magazines or books or picture albums to add up to the homey feel. The living room is the place where you entertain visitors, the things inside the area can help start the conversation.

The Best Air-condition in Philippine Weather Condition

admin — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:21:06 +0000

We recently bought an air-conditioner at home. We plan on getting a 1hp Carrier but after careful planning and consultation with my brother in law, a jack of all trade who happened to work in Condura a few years back, we bought the latest aircon unit from Condura 1.5hp and as expected it made our little abode colder, more reason for the four of us to hug and cuddle each other.

What made us buy the condura? Because of its promise of 5 years non-rust feature. Sure it is much pricey than what we have in mind but we’re content with the thought that it would just be perfect for long use.

Is Pet Shield Really Working?

admin — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 07:49:36 +0000

I bought Pet Shield Control over a month ago with the ardent hope that those little mice I am seeing in our kitchen area would disappear in a swift but I was wrong. I didn’t give up with the product after a week or two thinking that it would finally work after a month but I am losing hope now – over a month and I still see mice enjoying a little hide and seek every time I am in the kitchen.

Is it just too much to wish that those little creatures leave my little abode? I tried to look for pet shield review in the internet and I can’t find a decent one. I wonder if there’s anybody out there who actually uses the product as another officemate, who only has praises with the product, told me it is really effective. But I really wish I can find one review that says if it really works or when will it start working. On times like this, I envy those life insurance companies who have reviews on the life insurance quotes and policies left and right.
