Moving Accident

Today there’s a new family that arrives in the neighborhood with three trucks in tow, my husband happened to passed by in the area when he went home from school he says the guy looks like middle eastern man with a Korean descent or something to that effect. Everything was smoothly fine until the driver accidentally hit the nearby roof of the old house which resulted to chaos the old woman who’s the owner of the old house was too angry and keep yelling in the street. I think someone call a police because after few minutes a police car came, the patrol car was parked in front of our apartment when I went out to check what’s happening. I saw the big track with a ladder and unloading things in the top floor of the apartment so I guess the ladder or the plank hits the roof of the old house.

Moving is really very stressing I guess the moving company or the driver will shouldered the damage of the roof of the old house until now the old woman is still angry eh.

Trash Bag

The shopping bags among supermarkets are now reusable. You can used them  as trash bag unlike before you have to buy the trash bag separately. This bags are quite bigger to with a capacity of 20L, so we are using this purple  bag for quite few months already but lately we have noticed that the fruit flies are lurking on the trash bag, we decided to buy the small size green trash bag.

Laundry Detergent

I think I already found the best laundry detergent that I could use at home to wash our clothes. The old bleach we are using the orange version of this which is bubble gum scent is not that good unlike this one you could still smell the scent of clean laundry in your clothes even you hanged the clothes inside your house without direct sunlight. We bought this red one because it is currently on sale, I think it is a new scent in the market 수퍼 타이 – Super Tide.

The packaging says this used enzymatic bleaching, so I guess I don’t need to buy laundry softener and conditioner anymore just to make our laundry smells good.

Type of Life Insurance

Now a days different type of insurance are available for purchase it is either travel insurance, car insurance, health insurance, life insurance and many more that could be beneficial to you and to your family.  To choose from universal life insurance vs term insurance is somehow confusing which one will be more beneficial to you and to your family.

You should know that universal insurance cost more but it is more beneficial because the policy covers a longer period of time unlike term insurance it only provides coverage for a certain period of time so once the term in the policy is finished you will never benefit from it.

Painting a Classroom

My husband had told me that the room his using to teach the student is at mess.  Paint droplets are  everywhere and the walls are not  well painted  and the way he would look at it, the painting job was done by a kid. Some tables and chairs has also paint splattered on them.

After few days he eventually found out who did the painting job and it is one of the manager in the company,  he did it while everyone is resting and sleeping at home.  As what I have heard he finished doing the job early in the morning, sleepy and tired he didn’t clean the room anymore.

Few things I know to avoid paint mess is using old newspaper or plastic in the floor while applying paint in the wall but it seems the manager was not informed about it so he left a mess.

Modern Business Cards

When I am still working in an internet provider shop my employer’s staff on her newly open beauty saloon had ask me to make business card for them as part of promoting the newly open business. If you don’t know yet business cards are big help for a business to boom aside from using pamphlets and other form of advertisements, it can help to gain more customers and valuable business connections. It can also present a good image about a business by highlighting the provided  services.

Like most other things business cards are also modernized to something new  and what is popular right now are business cards plastic, which are high quality, modern and  more durable compare to the old ones. With this type of business card the tendency of being crumpled is less of your worry and they are water free as well so if even you accidentally splatter a cup of coffee in them the information are still visible and readable  unlike when they are made of card board or hard paper they can easily be torn  and faded once drizzled with water or liquid.

Annuities and Retirement

My two older cousins are teachers and every pay day their salary has a lot of deductions like income tax, health insurance, housing deposit and national pension or annuities  which is design for their retirement in the future. Sometimes there is also a loan deduction if they applied for a loan so there are times that nothing is left on their salary even though they just receive it.

If you are not familiar with annuity this is a contract that designed to meet long range goals or retirement  between you and an insurance company, you will have a series of payment monthly and in return when you retired you can immediately apply for the pension.

Cars and Accessories

Cars are enormous in Korea that’s why you won’t be surprised anymore if you find them parked in the streets. They are on different sizes, colors and brand. There are some cars with whispbar roof rack  on top of their car, this accessories are helpful so you can carry a  big load on your car during a road trip, most Koreans love to do picnic and road trip travel so it is really a must especially if you have a lot of kids. I even saw some cars with case shaped like boat in top of their roof dunno what is inside the case, it is either golf  clubs or fishing tools.

If you are planning to buy this kind of accessories but you have hesitation forget about it because whispbar roof racks fit into different type of cars, inexpensive and easy to install.

The Old Day Care Center

My Aunt is teaching day care kids and the old day care center was built near our house but after long years of being there the Barangay transferred it to the newly built Barangay Hall, if you are not familiar  Barangay is the smallest unit of government in Philippines.

Anyway when the day care center was still near our house the parent association built a play house, swing, sea saw and other form of entertainment for kids during their play time period and to attract them of going to school instead of staying home. Now that they are in new location I hope the day care center will have Merry Go Cycle because this can convince the kids to go to school and play outdoors.

Bleach and the Bathroom

After cooking our viand I immediately clean our bathroom it’s been a while since the last time I have cleaned it. As the cleaning bleach I am using is not that strong it is more of apple scent I used a little amount of bleach for clothes which I think not a good idea because after few minutes I felt I am suffocated by the smell of it even the bathroom window is wide open.

When I went out after cleaning the bathroom I have to asked my husband to turn on the air conditioner as the smell of the bleach is still lingering on my nose I can’t open the window inside our apartment because we just closed it to start the cooling machine. Well I guess I should wear masked next time so I am not going to smell the bleach.
