Memories of Fire Disaster



I heard sirens from several fire trucks in the road heading to the area on fire. It’s very near to my friend’s compound where they have an internet cafe and she told me the exact location of the fire. It’s one of the things that I fear because of my experience when I was in high school. That fire razed almost half of the barangay and hit my relatives’ compound. They lived in our house for several years before they constructed a new house again.

Well seeing fire trucks always brings back memories and I almost forgot to listen to what my friend is saying about her research task about natural male enhancement pills. She’s asking me to help her but I forgot it completely when I heard about the fire. Hope the fire would stop now as I’ve seen more fire trucks are coming their way.

Claims on Maritime Injury

All work has its own hardship and fulfilment. I know this because I’ve been to more than five different jobs before finally settling to doing paid blogging. Now I’m contented to work in the convenience of my home while taking care of my family. There are many types of jobs, some jobs are easy but the pay is low, others are hard but you’re well compensated. It’s actually a choice what you want for a job, worse is you’re overworked and still compensation is not enough to feed your family. Maybe this is the reason why some choose to work and live abroad. Some people failed to establish their career with a good paying job.

In life there will come a time when you have to choose between earning more and staying in your stable job and position in company. When we talk of earning more it refers to finding job abroad to alleviate living situation. This is why many embrace working at sea to give their family a good life although they know that it’s a bit risky entering maritime job. The pay is so good that they just endure loneliness just to earn more for their loved ones. It’s just a consolation that there’s a maritime protection law providing additional protection for ship’s crew and sailors. This is badly needed as when they’re injured they can ask assistance from Offshore Injury Lawyer to help them get their claim for continuous salary and proper medical treatment as part of their maintenance and cure claims.

Schechter, McElwee, Shaffer & Harris, L.L.P. helps in providing professional legal assistance by representing injured seamen, tanker men, longshoremen and other members of the crew in their accident claims. The client will not worry about the payment as they ask payment only when they win the case.

Polished Concrete Floors

My brother currently supervises 3 residential projects now and I’m glad that his eldest son can help him partly as he’s taking up the same course as his Dad. My nephew told me that he took up the course because he wants to help his father with the family’s construction business. Now he’s learning a lot about the ins and out of construction supervision and improving his knowledge of the best materials for their projects like epoxy floor coatings which can protect the surface from wear and tear, chemical corrosion and a lot more.

I’m really amazed at the new products now as they concentrate on bringing up products that presents quality and beauty as well. We all know that there are lots of things we invest in our house and we want them to stand the test of time just like what we expect from the concrete floors we installed in our house. But there are few things that can damage even the toughest materials you might have chosen for your floors so it’s best to have polished concrete floors for protective coating and reduced maintenance costs for several years.

Well if you don’t want to install coating on your floors you can always choose concrete polishing as it will make your surroundings brighter and perfectly polished. I’m glad that you can get all these from online suppliers who will turn simple floors into durable and attractive ones.

Part of Working Experience

Working at home has a lot of advantage compared to working in corporate office in terms of transportation, clothing allowances, flexibility in accomplishing tasks and more quality time with work and family. Best of all the opportunities are everywhere and you don’t have to wait for years for promotion to have an increase of salary. I always thank God for the opportunity He has given me to work, earn and be at home all at the same time. 

I remember how I used to work very hard on my job doing bidding documents and proposals for three consecutive days and nights with only an hour a night as rest. I was just glad that back then I’m using black laserjet because it’s a lot faster than regular printers. I was also thinking that if only we have this color laserjet 3500 back then maybe our color prints will be done faster than before. Maybe we don’t have to work that hard for the voluminous paper works to be printed. 

When I think of my previous work I’m always thankful that now I can sleep regularly and can balance my time between my online PTB work and my family duties. No regrets though for my previous jobs as they’re part of my experience, my career and my life. My life and career now is my family.

Missing My Friend

My friend Myrna whom I came to be working with for more than ten years and grown so close to me is currently based in East Timor. She’s working and living there with her husband as an Engineer. I terribly missed her and I’m glad that I had a chat with her. She told me that she’s fine but working hard just like me. Maybe I’ll be able to see her this summer when she comes home for a short vacation. 

Anyway we’re both using our own preferred laptops we wished to have when we were still together. I’m using mine for blogging and she’s using her toshiba laptop computers for estimation of materials needed for construction of roads, bridges and buildings. Of course her laptop has greater capacity than mine because she has Autocadd and other design software installed there. I’m happy that we’re happy and successful in our own work and nicely compensated too. Our previous jobs didn’t give us opportunities to earn more but now we’re both earning well in our chosen field of work. God is a good provider.

Money and Coin Counters

When I go to the bank I enjoy seeing their automated systems and the modern machines they use in handling money. It’s just my way of keeping myself busy while waiting in line for my turn. I used to wonder how the tellers could count money that fast as if they’re machines and I keep wondering how they can do that correctly with the slightest mistakes if ever. Anyway for the bulk money in bundles I noted and observed that they used Money Counter to help them verify the exact number of paper bills. I actually watch how machine works at counting the bills and how the bank teller would sort the bundles one by one.

It’s nice having helpful equipment to help you with the job like Coin Counter, the unique machine which does not only count coins but sort them after being counted. I learned that there are other features that package the coins as well. Very good indeed and it will make processing more efficient and accurate also. I’m glad that Huffman Security Company does not only offer the best overall security devices and service but also provides Bank Supplies, coin counters/sorters, currency counters, money counters and other machines. It makes banking easier and more enjoyable.

Durable Shoes for Sports

Ruth will have her first foundation day in TUMCS next week and she joined her class’ volleyball team just like me when I was in high school. She recently ordered her jersey and I realized that it’s so expensive these days to have sports’ uniform. Her teacher will arrange for the name printing so parents will not think about it anymore and anyway it should be done by one sign shop only. I’m glad that she’s not asking for a new rubber shoes because her shoes is still in good condition. It’s a gift from her Auntie who lives abroad and because it’s a branded one it never wear out easily. I love searching for nice and durable rubber shoes like Nike SB or other type of shoes from them because I’m also athletic. 

When it comes to sports the shoes play a vital role in keeping up with the movements and paces you need to do in playing games. This is the reason why sportsmen use quality shoes when they play because it will either be an advantage or disadvantage on their game depending upon what brand of shoes they use.

Legal Help for Accident Victims

It’s lonely to suffer the loss of loved ones especially if the reason for death is through accident. When things like that happens the first thing that comes to my mind is the family that will be affected by the loss of a member of the family. Be it the father, mother or one of the children it’s hard to accept because it’s a tragic way of losing someone you love. To make things more acceptable the family should seek out justice and ask the help of legal counsel like Texas wrongful death attorney who is committed to help their clients get their own share of fair judgment and compensation. The claimed money will be of great help to the family who spent for medical expenses when the accident happened. It will serve also as a help in their finances while they’re recovering from the sudden death.

A Course of Her Choice

It’s only two months now before the graduation of my daughter and I’ve attended the meeting for the said school event. The meeting was held to inform the parents of the things we should prepare for the graduation and that include activities and expenses. We voted for the parents who will complete the group for the PTA graduation officers and I’m one of them again this year. Last year I was the secretary of the graduating class and made all documents pertaining to that school event. Anyway it’s my kid’s last year in the school and she will soon be joining her sister in high school. As we looked back when they’re only kinder 2 on that same school we saw that their faces has changed from having baby features to more matured faces they have now. Well Gen still looks so young and naive but I can imagine her graduating from high school after another four years and taking up a college degree course of her choice. 

I told them to take any course they want just as long as they love doing it. Whether they would a job in accounting, administration, marketing or jobs in health care I would not contradict. Now they’re still not sure of what they would eventually like to take in college but Gen is telling us that she can take up Education and have masteral units afterwards. She has high regards on her teachers that she also wants to be like them in the future. Anyway it’s not surprising as she came from a family of teacher, my cousins, aunties, granddaughter and my own Mom were teachers. I guess it runs in our blood.

Preferences and Likings

Working on different companies for nearly two decades I’ve come to know people from all walks of life. I’ve learned that people have their own goals in life, preferences and likings. When I was still in the office we were talking about the things that we’d like to buy given extra money, the conversation was just to consume the lunch break time and it’s not that serious. I told them I want a kitchen showcase and techie gadgets including camera and laptop. 

One staff dreamed about all kinds of spa and beauty products, the other one an entertainment showcase and a lot more for the others. Our liaison officer told us that he will not wait for the extra money as he’ll be buying in the next coming weeks a big lcd monitor for his PC. He always spends his money on desired gadgets and appliances. His happiness relies on seeing his collection of those things. Anyway he’s a single guy and he can really collect what he wants as long as he can afford it.
