Enjoying Your Time at Home

DH loves to hear music and messages via online when he’s at home and free from any school and home works. Whenever he listens he wants to focus on hearing the good messages from the ministers so he uses his head phone to somehow concentrate on what he’s doing. It’s a good way of focusing himself because he will not be able to hear the noise caused by the cars passing through the nearby road.

It would be nice if we can get ourselves a good quality headphone like beats by dr dre so he’ll concentrate more and be able to hear the message clear and crisp. It’s important that your gadget and accessories are of good quality because you can maximize the value of your time and the message that you hear. I have to remind myself to buy a good brand next time I buy a headphone for him.

Dressing Up When You’re Big

It’s always hard for women with bigger sizes to choose their clothing especially on special occasions when they need to dress up with a lot of effort. Most of these women undergone childbirth and was not able to return to their old slim bodies. I myself have added a lot of inches on my thighs and waist and through the years of married life and childbirth have succumbed to my new bigger size. Well for me it’s not that hard because I can still get my desired clothing with a size fit to my body but for others they need to get customized clothing just to fit it their dresses. 

My friend who just gave birth via caesarean delivery finds it hard to find suitable swimwear because of her newly reformed big body. She was happy to learn that there are bathing suits for plus size which will give her a good fit and decent enough for a Mom like her. It’s important that women should dress properly according to her age and status in life. You can still look fashionable without being too sexy. You just have to choose the right color, best fit and style that will enhance your best features and match up with your age as well. Dressing should be done with some consideration and not just wearing what you think is beautiful.

New Life for Them

Life could be so harsh and painful for others which led them eventually to drug dependency. When you have a friend or a family member who resorted to this life there’s no peace within you because you’ll be worrying about him always. People with such addiction will have no good future and his health will slowly deteriorate. That’s what I observed from a cousin who spent his young life on drug addiction and spending his middle-aged years on a weak body and lonely life. 

It’s better if you will be brave enough to convince them that they should change and enter rehabilitation to save themselves from the addiction. Proper treatment can be done if attended properly like rapid heroin detox which can be a good treatment if administered by the experts and monitored properly. Treatment and rehabilitation is worth a good life ahead of them.

How to Close Your Pool for the Winter

As much as we hate it, summer does come to an end for most of us each year. When that happens it’s important to properly close your pool. Not only for safety’s sake but to save you money and time. An improperly closed pool is vulnerable to freeze damage, would could be very costly to repair. Here’s how to make sure you do it right.

First, make sure the water is properly balanced and that the pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness are within proper levels. This should be done about a week before the pool is actually closed. You’ll also want to use a strong shock product to kill bacteria and fungi. A product that allows swimming right after treatment is not strong enough. Before closing the pool make sure the chlorine level in the pool is no higher than 3ppm. The final chemical to add is an algaecide. Make sure to use one that is meant to last over the winter. Neglecting this step will allow algae to bloom, which has a very foul odor and can permanently discolor your pool liner. 

When the water treatment is complete, it’s time to clean. Remove everything but the water, clean, and store away for the winter. This includes filters and hoses! Then skim the pool to remove any floating debris, and vacuum to remove any dirt and debris at the bottom. This should be done the day of the actual shutdown. The final step is to lower the water level to below the skimmer. Depending on what variety of high quality pool covers you’re using, that would be about 12 inches below for mesh and 6 for solid. 

Finally, drain filters and other equipment, winterize the pool plumbing, and install your cover. Your pool is ready to wait out the winter!

Fun Fishing with the Family

We had a great time with the whole family when we celebrate my Mom’s birthday few months ago in Bulawan’s floating restaurant near Tanay, Rizal. My brother asked us if we want to spend it there as they always go there when they want to unwind and relax. Since we really wanted a different birthday ambiance and for Mom to enjoy her birthday we agreed and set out for the family bonding early morning. The day was actually cloudy and before we arrive it was already raining but we still continued with our plans and started fishing. 

Big brother is so used with his fishing hobby that he brought along his own fishing equipment and accessories except for his fishing rod rack which he kept in his home. He taught us all the basic techniques in fishing and in time we were all waiting for the first fish to eat our bait. It was a relaxing rainy day and Mom was the happiest seeing us all there laughing and enjoying her special day. The menu was superb with some of our catches cooked for our lunch birthday food. We had great-tasting healthy sea foods such as sugpo, tanigue, alimango, pusit, tilapia cooked for us and everyone was satisfied. It also feels good to eat what you have just caught from your fishing just like what my brother always says when he asks us to join in his hobby.

Organizing and Decorating Your Kitchen

When you want to organize your home and its furnishings you should take an extra effort on the kitchen area where most clutters are present. Since it’s the part of the house where you store and prepare your food an orderly structure of organization should be done to prevent it from looking messy. It’s quite hard to do this because there are also small accessories and cooking equipment that never seems to fit orderly in the cabinet and it would take some creativity to turn the mess into stylish decors. I spent most of my time in the kitchen because I love cooking and I learned to move around with less clutter and disorder. You just have to think of smart storage system to make your kitchen the best area in your house.

When decorating your kitchen place you should consider some factors in choosing the colors and theme you want including the colors and style of your cabinet storage. It’s easy if you have an idea in your mind and if you know if you want a simple, modern or extra stylish kind of decors. You can choose cabinet knobs and pulls with a design that complements your kitchen walls and furnishings or simply be creative with a theme you love best.

The theme can be whatever you want like animals, cute stuff, nature design or anything that fancies you. It’s your style that will define the look of your kitchen. You can actually play around pretty designs on  kitchen cabinet knobs to make your kitchen look welcoming and cozy. Just remember that you prepare and cook your food in the kitchen so it should be filled with love and inspirations for your loved ones who are the recipient of your best tasting meals. Kitchen is an expression of Mom’s love to her family.

Music at Home

It’s nice to redecorate the interiors of your home especially if you have time to do it. We’re looking forward to a long weekend vacation ahead when we can rest from work and school. I hope that I’ll be able to arrange the old clothes, bags, toys and other important things in our stock room on next week’s holiday and Election Day. Well it’s not all work of course on that day as we’re planning to have some singing at home with our magic sing microphone where it contains hundreds of music. 

When I first saw the magic microphone several years I was quite amazed at how you can sing plenty of songs just by using it. Well that was several years back and now microphone like vocopro uhf-5805 are far more modern and sophisticated than the ones we used in the past. And I’m sure it will be just perfect for singing, bonding with the family and of course in praising songs.
