Chaos all around

I have mentioned in my other blog that I am currently busy with the repair and reconstruction of our house.  I have to look after the workers as well as the procurement of materials.  Hubby can not perform the job coz he’s always in the office so I am left with no choice but to take charge.  It’s kinda difficult for me sometimes coz I have to climb up to the top of the house to see the development of the project.  Nonetheless, I’m doing fine so far.

 A while ago in my little space I call veranda, I requested a worker to stock up the construction materials properly coz it makes me dizzy to see chaos.  I requested him to move the few flowering plants pots near the sidewalk to give way for the pile of materials that’s coming in.  The Parrot Cage that is hanging by the veranda is taken down to avoid being hit by big wooden trusses that might accidentally fall.  I sincerely don’t want to dispose it yet coz I still plan to replace my pet parrot that died a year ago. I’m just waiting for the place to be fixed before I buy another one.  A neighbor of mine saw the Parrot Cage dumped on one corner and asked for it.  I politely begged-off explaining that there are another birds coming.  I doubt if he believes me.  If he doesn’t, well, he will in the near future coz he’d certainly see my parrot cage on our tiny  veranda again with a colorful talkative parrot in it.

 For now, let the chaos around here conceal my plan.  The plan to have a new pet parrot!

It surprised me that my beautiful Indonesian blogger friend,  Nensa have thought of me to include in her list of recipients for this Beautiful Blogger Award.  This is the second one that I received the same award that is why I’m posting it here instead of where she left it for me, in Beyond My Quiet Zone. To Nensa,  I hope you understand and thanks much!

2. Pass this award onto 15 bloggers you’ve recently discovered and think are fantastic.

Since I am short of time to pass this on to 15 blogger friends, I’m just passing this to all  friends in my blog links.

And for the 7 things about myself:

•  I’m a worrier

•  I wish to go back visit Australia
•  I love the music of the 70’s and the 80’s

Japanese Car Recall

With the cars that we had before, which includes a locally manufactured AUV, an Isuzu Gemini, a Toyota Corolla, and a Toyota Innova, we are quite lucky that not any  of those had brought trouble on the road.  Well, I must admit, that the Isuzu Gemini was a crank.  Having it acquired from a second owner probably explains why.  But over all, each one served well.  Unlike some of the new cars now which has manufacturer’s defect that causes serious road accidents.  

Have you heard of the news regarding a popular car company recalling some 3.8 million of their vehicles that have already been sold in the market?  It has been established that the cars have latent defect to cause road mishaps.  One reason pointed out is the possibility of car floor mats sticking to the gas pedal in the open position.  This actually causes one of its sold cars to crash.  The accident happened in San Diego, California.  The popular car company is supposed to be known for good quality cars.  It is quite surprising how they overlooked simple defects.  Could it be that its quality control is of out of control?  Let’s hope not.

So far, I’m not sure if we will still patronize cars from the popular Japanese car company though I have truly loved our last car from them.

Online slot machine

Many years ago, hubby used to frequent the Casino located along Roxas Boulevard in Manila.  Sometimes, I would come along with him and observe how games are played. At times, he would give me a few thousand pesos to play with while he played the baccarat.  After getting the money I would go to the slot machines and watch discreetly how the machine is being played.  I could see how easy it is to use but I preferred playing the Big and small.  But that was long time ago.  It was yet the time when online casinos are not heard yet.

 
Today, one could find scores of online casinos.  It’s easier to visit and games are uncomplicated.  There are various casino games that could be played online but slot machine rvm is much effortless to play.  You may think that slot machines are all the same but it’s not.  Lately, the most sought after slot machine rvm is the so called multi line slots.  This game improves your chances of winning coz you are able to play more than one game at a time.  With online casinos mushrooming in the internet, it is very easy now to enjoy playing the slot machine rvm and at the same time getting to win big cash.

Hijacking with a twist

I have heard on one late night news about a hijacking incident that took place in Atimonan, Quezon one noontime in January of this year.  A truck loaded with copra was flagged down by three armed men then blindfolded and hogtied the driver and his helper.  Such incident rang a bell to my ear.  Few decades ago when I was still working with a Customs Brokerage Company, this likewise happened (but with a little twist) to one of the company’s trucks that was transporting the same commodity, copra.  The truck was reported to the office by the driver to have been hijacked somewhere in the province of Quezon.  However, as the police began the investigation, it turned out that there was no hijacking that took place.  A witness admitted participation in the supposedly hijacking and pointed at the driver as the mastermind.  The goods were recovered in a barrio in Laguna and the truck was later traced in Cavite.  The driver and his four accomplices were later convicted and jailed for 12 to 16 years in prison. 

It was evidently the age when GPS Tracking wasn’t given much importance yet by the business group especially my bosses.  If only the company have thought of making use of a GPS Tracking device, such kind of troublesome incident could have been avoided.  Today, GPS Tracking is a common word not only in the business world but with the private individuals as well.

Shopping wisely

The big Mall in our area held a Mallwide Sale this past weekend.  I came around early on the first day of the 3 Day Sale to get ahead of the crowd but I was surprised to find scores of shoppers already on their quest for the best deals.  I couldn’t help but go gaga by the countless rock bottom prices of high end make-up items.  There were marvelous good deals but I had to choose what is really needed or I’d end up not saving but wasting instead.  I just picked a few basic items such as lipstick, pressed powder and blush-on for myself then spent the rest of my time searching for the suitable T-shirts for hubby  It was not an easy feat to find husband the right t-shirts.  He only cares for the kind that has the essential pocket on and is very particular with the design and color.  Likewise, I am well aware of the fact that it should not be very common or he won’t dare wear it at all if ever.  He leaves the meticulous choosing on me coz as he has said, he trusts my taste when it comes to his attire.  I was glad I found good quality T-shirts with good discounts off the tag among his favorite brand but only after a tremendous digging and hunting.  

If squeezing in yourselves on crowded shopping places isn’t your kind of tea, I suggest you go shopping online.  You can also get good deals just like what you’ll get on Mallwide Sale but without the hassles of the dizzy causing crowd,   With online coupons this is possible!  Interested?
