How I Utilize My Time Without Internet

Sunday morning, the internet was not available. Now, is the 4th day and counting of no internet connection. We had PLDT line who has no connection while Globe and Smart have the internet. These are the only three giants in our area of location, anyway. Lately, we had thunderstorms and I think PLDT facilities are sensitive. Every time the thunder claps, the internet becomes giddy. I pity those students who want to work on their projects through research/the internet, anyway.

Since, I can't do anything online, I thought of utilizing my time like these:

1. Writing articles - Any topics that pop into my mind. Then read and rewrite it again. When the internet is up, it only takes a few minutes to check grammar/spelling before publishing it.

2. Coding -  The basic HTML codes. This is the time in which I can focus on the errors. I had a lot of distractions when the internet is up. So, this is the best time for me.  

3. House chores - I've always washed our clothes. But, cleaning our room and electric fans from specks of dust and cobwebs is a task every week. Now, it's an everyday chore.

4. Cleaning and arranging the plants - I can only do this whenever I have time. It's only a small area on the front lawn. Rake those dead leaves, then place it in the hole and put some soil over it. It's good as fertilizers in time.

There are lots of things to do, actually. You can cook with your kids, play with them, swimming and more.  Do whatever is available. The most important is you spend time with your family.

Friends To Thank For

I made a conversation with friend A. After knowing that I blog and lived in an internet shop. She told me, "If I were you, I will make a career in blogging, since you lived in an internet shop". I told her, that I'm inactive and I don't think I can handle both worlds - blogging, motherhood and a wife.

Then, another Friend J had sent me a message through Facebook. She told me that, "Sis, nagblog ka pala?". Again, I replied with the same reason.  I'm inactive and I can't handle both worlds. She told me why don't you blog again, then apply for a certain affiliation. Perhaps, this will help you. But what about my post, I had only one this month, I told her. Don't worry, you'll be having a lot of posts, when your approve, she answered. Well, I did apply for that affiliation, but I was denied. Indeed, Friend J kept on asking about my application. When, I told her that I was denied, she told me to buy a domain name. Since, I have only cents in my PayPal, she supported me.

I have no choice and it would be a shame not to.

I would like to thank these two beautiful ladies for letting me pick up the pieces that I've left behind in writing.

Thank you very much, you two, for being an inspiration and persuading me! More blessings and God bless your heart.

Upgrading Your Home? What You Should Do for Maximum Resale Value

house reselling

Upgrading your home is something you’ve probably been thinking about for a while if you’re getting ready to sell your home or just make it better for you and your family. After all, the need for upgrades and renovations doesn’t really just sneak up on you.

However, knowing what to renovate, especially if you’re thinking about selling now or in the next few years, can feel quite difficult. What are you supposed to do to make potential homeowners happy and offer you more money for your house?

Use this guide to help you learn more about how to renovate your home in a way that will get you the maximum resale value. Renovating your home properly could actually help you put more money in the bank when you sell, even when you take the renovation costs into account.


Focus on Landscaping
The outside of your home is one of the first things that people will see when they look at your house, so it stands to reason that you need in a nice outdoor space. When you’re renovating your home, you need to start with the front yard.

In the front yard your best bet is to clean up walkways, make sure the plants are in good shape and focus on the look of your home. Painting the house is one of the best things you can do if it hasn’t been done in the recent past.

You should also spend some time working on the backyard if your area tends to have a big outdoor culture. Make the space livable and one that people could potentially enjoy for a lifetime.

 Look for the Kitchen
Your kitchen is perhaps the first thing people will really see when they enter your home. It’s also one of the most competitive spaces when selling a home since people tend to spend a lot of family time in the kitchen.

Cardiomegaly

heart
Fifteen years ago, I had an x-ray and the result was cardiomegaly. When my ob-gyne doctor saw it. She gave it back and told me that it is okay. I am the only one who can cure it myself. Her assistant even assured me that there is nothing to worry about because I alone can recuperate it. Just free myself from worries and problems. My mind was blank and I said nothing. I just nod my head.

Now, I remember:

"One time, it was an infantry battalion's anniversary and as the (former) wife we were invited. When it was time to go home, my neighbor whom I was supposed to accompany with has walked off. I called her name but she's too far away. I tried to run and called her name BUT something happened. I have to stop from running because I lost my breathing. I can't breath, I thought I am going to die in the grasslands. I remain standing and tried to stay calm as much as possible. I breath in and breath out through my mouth until my breathing was normal."

Perhaps, what happened before, was a part of cardiomegaly. But, I just neglect it based on what they had told me.


 And now, the x-ray found out it's cardiomegaly, again.

Loot Bag of Piattos Goodies

Yesterday, my husband and I were surprised when a delivery man from 2Go brought 2 TNT boxes. I feel confused and surprised. Who will send us goods in boxes?




My husband asked me if I ordered online. I answered, "No! I did not order online! I am in doubt to accept it. So, i told the delivery man that the delivery might be a mistake. He just smiled and said, "No! One of my mates had delivered here, before."

We did not believe him until my husband saw the receipt with my son's name. Oh yes, I remember now!

It's Piattos!



My son and I won from Piattos Webisode promo. It is one of the products from Universal Robina Corporation! The winners must claim the prize at their office. But, I asked them, if it is okay, if they will deliver the prize. They agree but expect for delays. They will send prizes by batch. So, I said, okay, I can wait. 

It took some time but the wait is over! Here it is! The loot bags of Piattos goodies. Yay! Thank you so much!



If you want to join their promo or contest, then head on to Piattos Facebook page. Who knows? You might be one of the winners.
