Life is very ironic  most Asian women prefer to have a fair complexions like the people in West while other women in the West want a brown skin.  It is a mere fact that whitening products are on demand on Asian market, these can be found in different brands and different whitening ingredients from soaps to lotions and to creams while in the other hand there’s tanning lotion for women who wants to have a brown skin and with the technology today  having a perfect tan is not a problem anymore you don’t need to do sun bathing and use ample amount of tanning lotion because there are spray tan machine that  can be bought either online or in the store around you. Most saloon owners are also using this machine to satisfy and pamper their customers with the perfect color of tan.

My husband and I will have a short vacation in my home country, and I already asked permission to him  if I can stay for few days. I want to go home and see my family and relatives. It’s been a long three years since I left from home, anyway as a preparation I am now collecting items for presents and gifts. I already bought  shampoos, toothpaste, soaps and other small items that are not too heavy for me to carry. I am thinking of buying cheap perfume for my sister and cousins, I am sure they are going to like it. Right now I am not worried about it because with the technology today you can easily buy authentic fragrances online with free shipping and no minimum purchase.

I am quite busy yesterday updating my windows, downloading the trial of Adobe illustrator and fixing a leaking pipe. It feels like I am the man of the house doing a plumber job around here (lol). It happens that my husband hates holding dirty things and the main reason is he is too big to put his hands below the kitchen sink, you know Koreans are not that big so most of the things around their house is enough for a normal size to fit around.

Anyway yesterday my husband checked the pipe below the kitchen cabinet because he said it stinks and there he  found out the pipe is leaking and he get annoyed with me.  He said he already told me not to touch the main pipe because he thinks it is not the main problem why the water is backing up in our sink. He is annoyed because I didn’t follow what he said and I still took the rubber/plastic in the main pipe.

Well I just let him talk and grin to him, with a thought what is my husband’s problem he is not the one who will fix it but he sounds  so irritated.

I don’t know if the gym owner is trying to save money or he doesn’t feel hot inside the gym. Every time we work-out the air conditioner is not running, the doors are open and two large fan are running but it is not enough for us to feel comfortable. Sometimes I felt like I am going to experience a heat stroke, so what I did is to drink a lot of cold water to ease the warm feeling.

Anyway there are times the air conditioner are on when we are in the gym almost late, before he will turn the air conditioner at seven o’clock in the evening but these past few days he don’t turn on the machine.

These past few days our kitchen sink is not working properly. The water is draining slowly, so today I fixed it by unscrewing the main pipe in the sink I cleaned the grime but when I run the water nothing is change the water is still backing up in the sink so I went further down the main drain below and  untie the the plastic on it. I tried to move the sink pipe side by side thinking it is just moved to a wrong position but it is not.

I have thought of cleaning the other pipe in the side of the sink but thinking it is not that important I didn’t do so but when my husband told me to try it I did, and I found a lot of grime on it. So cleaned it thoroughly using brush and bleach which I used in cleaning our bathroom. When I run the water, the drain works fine it seems it is really the main problem. Job well done today!

Most old houses are made of wood flooring which is good because it can last for a long period of time. They are durable but quite expensive, well it actually depends to the type  of hardwood. There are solid ones which are fully made of hardwood and there are refinishing type which is made of part wooded materials and hardwood. Example of wooded materials are fiberboard or plywood, floor refinishing is the cheap alternative of wood flooring not as durable of the solid hardwood but it can still last for a long time.

So if you are planning to switch to hardwood flooring you should start browsing online to compare prices, you can find a lot of stores online that offer affordable hardwood flooring refinishing, they also offer installation services.
