How To Make Things Last Longer

Here are some tips to save money and help the environment by learning how to extend the life of some of your stuff.

CLOTHES

A simple way to stretch the life of all your clothes? Skip the dryer. If you are not a resident in a high rise where strictly no-sampayan rules apply, hoist up a few more clotheslines so more clothes items can be hang to take advantage of our hot tropical sun.

FOOD

Food spoilage is often the result of improper storage. Learn how to store the foods that you eat regularly.

CANDLES

Stick candles in the freezer a couple of hours before you use them. This will cause the wax to burn slower and more evenly.

MATTRESSES

Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for flipping and rotating your mattresses to prevent premature sagging.

REFRIGERATOR

Vacuum the condenser coil every three months (once a month if you have pets)

MARKERS

Revive dried out markers by storing them vertically (tip down) for a day or two. If that doesn't work, try dipping the tips in alcohol for a few minutes.

Pizza Hut at the Gaisano Mall Davao

Today is Lady's birthday( my brother Seigfred's wife). My father wanted to treat her to eat at Pizza Hut. I never did like Pizza Hut but I also don't hate it. But with just what happened today, Pizza Hut will be not be on the top of my list anymore. While ordering for our food, my wife told me to take pictures of the place and then the menu, but while I'm taking picture of the menu, the waitress suddenly stop me from taking pictures of the menu, saying it was against the management order. Well, I did stop and even deleted the picture on my cam, but I was disappointed at what happened. I told my wife will it hurt them if a took a picture of what's inside their menu? Competitors wont copy whats inside the menu because there's no ingredient of the food there. And the price? Common, their price is no secret to all (for me they are too expensive, way too expensive). And to add more to my disappointment, after we finished eating, we ask for a glass of water and SURPRISE, they cant serve us water because they haven't washed the glasses yet(haven't wash the WHAT? They have plenty of employees who were just standing around doing nothing,) and a simple request of water is not hard to do ( a poor service on their part, very poor). I hope their management can do something about this.

The Rat in the Year of the Tiger 2010

Ive already posted about the Rabbit in the year of the Tiger so im just gonna post all the animals left, since i still have my moms booklet. I better finish this all before she starts wondering where the booklet is. So im gonna post the remaining 11 animal birth sign.

The year of the Tiger for Rat people may not be considered as auspicious as last year. This is a year mixed with favorable and unfavorable fortunes. Female rat is much better than male rat in many aspects. The fortune of your ambitions in career and in love relationship is good. On the other hand, your health and your financial condition are not so meaningful. There are accomplishments in many areas of your career undertakings. Help and support from some influential friends and good Samaritans are for you to benefit. In the career point of view, best opportunities are there for you. For young rats, you are advised to exert more efforts so that dreams can easily be fulfill. However, financial fortune is not favorable especially in those unfavorable months. Try to manage your monetary activities carefully. You have a tendency to harm your finances. Stay away from sweet offer and avoid risky investments. Gambling and heavy bank borrowings should be avoided. As for your health, you will be vulnerable to sickness. Through proper medication, those sickness can be manageable. Food sanitation and safety, balance diets and regular exercise are the best remedies to maintain your good health. For your own safety, you are advised to take extra care when driving or traveling. There seems to be no problem in family relationship. Activities at home will keep you busy this year. A passionate love life with less misunderstanding awaits you this year. Enjoy the fullness of your love and romance through out the year.

Find the Man in the Coffee Beans

Ive received this one in my email. First things first, find the man in the coffee beans in the picture below:

The doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3 seconds, the right half of your brain is better developed than most people. If you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute, the right half of the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between 1 minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein. If you have not found the man after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise to make that part of the brain stronger.

AND YES THE MAN IS REALLY THERE!!!!
