Housekeeper’s good graces
Posted on 09 6th, 2008My housekeeper is asking me to buy her a new cleaner. I actually don’t know anything about it so I asked my sister to help me out in getting one. She said that I should get one of the Ladybug steam cleaners and my housekeeper will surely like it. My sister has this infernal notion that we should always get along with out househelp to make sure they will get their work done and would eventually become loyal to us. I guess she has it all correctly. Because her housekeeper has been with her for more than 8 years now.

Posted on 09 5th, 2008My friend who is out of a job right now is looking for Philadelphia resumes that he can refer to in making one for him. He wants to be able to make a good impression to recruiters. First with his resume, then with him in person. I know what he’s thinking. When I was out there looking for a job myself, some recruiters rejected resumes that are just not professionally done. And my friend wants his to look professional. Hard to go without a job for a month nowadays. Bills to pay, transportation, food… You don’t want to be deprived of the basic necessities in life, right?
Infamous date!
Posted on 08 31st, 2008I was surprised to find a hat on my bed when I got from work last Friday. It was from my cousin, Moira. She just came from Mexico and she brought me this native Mexican hat. I was laughing so hard when I called her up. She hadn’t even said hello yet she was laughing as hard as I was. It was actually a joke between us. I once thought I was in love with this Mexican-looking girl from university. When I finally got around to asking her out, it turned out she was a transgender. Moira was in the diner where we had that infamous date. So she was the only one who knew about it. To this day, she doesn’t pass up a chance to shove it down my face. Silly girl!
Super mom
Posted on 08 31st, 2008When it comes to things at home, I must admit, I rely on my mom to check it for me. She visits me once a week, to check on my pantry (if it’s well stocked), my refrigerator, the whole house, my laundry and more. I have a house helper and my mom makes sure that she is doing her work. I am oblivious to such things, more concerned with coming home with a hot meal prepared for me. My mom was looking at kitchen sinks last weekend because she wants to change the one I have right now. She doesn’t like it plus it is getting rusty, according to her. I let her be. I just told her to send me the bills so I can pay for it.
Nothing beats having your mom take care of you, don’t you think?
Opulent surroundings
Posted on 08 31st, 2008I once visited the government palace where the infamous Marcos family resided for a time. I remember the gold door knobs and shower faucets. You wouldn’t believe how ostentatious the surroundings are. I don’t know if they retained the home accessories there. One can sell it for a huge amount, that’s for sure. That does not include the clothes and shoes of the former first lady. When we saw it, we thought the room is a mini version of a department store!
Opulent surroundings of a family who once ruled the Philippines for 20 long years!
I want a new laptop!
Posted on 08 28th, 2008I want a new laptop. The one I have right now is a locally made laptop that is two years old already. it is starting to act up now whenever I use it for a long period of time. And that is daily! I have been tasked to monitor my cousin’s etsy shop and I am the webmaster of that one so I really use my laptop a couple of hours at night to check the web site.
Unfortunately for me, the laptop has been reaching its expected life already. That’s my guess. So a new laptop is in order. But I am still short with my savings. I want to buy a quality laptop this time.
But wait! I heard about Charter Laptop A Day Giveaway. It says at Charter.com that they will be giving away 30 laptops in 30 days to 30 winners! When I checked what laptop they will be giving away, it is the same laptop that I have in mind. An HP Compaq Presario C770US! That really caught my interest.
All one has to do is to purchase any of the services being offered by Charter.com and upon purchase, you are automatically eligible to be one of the 30 winners of the laptop they are giving away! What a deal! And wait, for every purchase, you also get a Free $100 Shell gift card! It keeps getting better.
I just might get a High-Speed Internet service from them. Go and check out Charter.com now.
Busted air conditioning
Posted on 08 24th, 2008My air conditioning in my bedroom is busted! It is way past its warranty period already so I really need to buy an air conditioning compressor. It is the culprit, according to the repair man I contacted. It will cost me a bit but if it means getting back the coolness in my bedroom, so be it.
Or maybe I will just buy a brand new one to avoid the hassle.
