Not one but three

Settling for a door knob? It is time to put deadbolt locks. If possible all doors should have one, except the bathroom, of course! It is common that only the front or the main door has a deadbolt lock. I saw some gates that have one too. There was a funny one along our neighborhood. Te front gate has three deadbolt locks. Well, if that will give the owner some peace of mind, why not?

A new life in a new place

I am quite sad. We have not moved to our new house yet. Yes, budget constraints. We do not have even an outdoor furniture yet. I am not saying that I need all things new but I think it has been a tradition that when you transfer to a new place, the things that you should put in there should be new also. You know, for a real new beginning. It will be a fresh start. I actually tried borrowing some money from the bank but my loan was not approved. OH, maybe I should just try saving more money and maybe in six months or the latest will be next year, we will finally be able to have a new life in a new place.

Relaxing and enchanting

I love door chimes. Do you find its sound very relaxing and enchanting as I do? You know, sometimes I am in a deep sleep then suddenly I am awaken and the sound of the door chime puts me back to sleep. Thanks to the inventor of door chimes! Do you have one? If not, go grab a door chime now! I was able to buy a door chime for less than one dollar! How affordable is that for the benefits that you will get from it.

Darker nights

Everything prepaid is the in thing nowadays. There are prepaid telephone card, pre paid credit cards and in the future, there will be prepaid electricity here in our country already. I think that will make sense. I prefer postpaid for utilities though. How about you? Anyways, the prepaid electricity is just in the proposal stage. It has not even gone to the testing stage though I read articles before that in some provinces, it is being offered already. Here in the metro, I really do not know if it will materialize. If ever that will be imposed in the future, I can see darker nights.

Old and new

I think I am selling the big fitness equipment. Yes, I am now sorting out all the things that will stay with us. The house that I bought is not that big for all our stuff. My brother told me to actually sell everything and just buy new ones. You know, for a real fresh start. New house, new environment, new things and all! However, I do not like everything new and my pockets are empty too! That is not a good thing at all! Thus, I will just have to let go of real big things that will not fit in and things that are really old.

Electrical system

Okay, it is a Monday! Another manic one? Yesterday was so tiring. It was family day. We went to the mall. Kids play at the arcade. We did some shopping too. Then groceries! I have not checked if we were able to buy everything that we need. I looked for the KVM switch and it is there. You know, sometimes you tend to forget small things that you need. I need more switches for the house. Our transfer is very near. Everything should be in placed right now especially the electrical system.

The throne

There are many shows lately about Kings and Queens. I wonder how it is to be a real King. Do Kings really sit at thrones? It is bad to just sit there all day, huh! Prolonged sitting is bad. Could it be the reason why toilet seats are called thrones? it is a common joke here in our country that when you have to move and you have to excuse yourself politely or with humor, you will say, I have to sit at the throne.

I believe that the comfort room and the bathroom or call it bathroom only since usually, these two places are combined in most houses, should be one of the best places at home. From the word itself, comfort room, it should be comfortable. I hope Icould choose a good buy from the American Standard toilets available in the show room I will go to by next month. I hope that I could get a good price too!

Accent in the kitchen

I was in the mall yesterday and my mind was flying elsewhere. Nothing much could really catch my attention until I passed by the house and home section and I saw those copper kitchen sinks. Pretty unique, I thought. There are not much of copper sinks nowadays and the most used are the stainless ones or the tiled type. That could be a nice accent in my kitchen.

Versatile

I went to my brother’s house yesterday. I noticed that his house has a bare flooring already. He is now considering tile flooring. He is now thinking or his mind is torn between wood parquet and ceramic tiles. You know, having wood is classy but ceramic tiles are more versatile. Using ceramic tiles is really more advantageous for me because of so many reasons. One, easy to clean. Two, more affordable. Three, looks clean. Four, looks cold and creates a light atmosphere. Five, that is what I have right now. Oh, well, yes, I will definitely choose ceramic tiles over wood, marble or any other kind of flooring.

Christmas bonus

I have not been here for a while. I have been busy with a lot of things lately. As most of you know, people here in our country are still in the rehabilitation process. You know, those affected by the typhoons who have lost most of their personal belongings and personal properties are still trying to recover. That includes me? Yes. I recently bought a modern furniture for our house. There are still lots of things to be replaced but I have to do it one at a time. I was not able to foresee something like this thus my savings are not enough to cover for all the loss. Maybe this December, I will be able to buy more with my Christmas bonus.
