can’t get enough of my new game

can't get enough of my new gameI can’t get enough of the Jane’s realty games after I got the insurance quote hubby told me to do. Now, I’m off to play again at the same level. Actually, I am stuck in this level for a long time now. I think it’s about a week since the first time I reach this level and until now I kept on repeating it. Yup, I am really stuck and just this day I already played it 10 times and yet I can’t find the right strategy to get out from here. Hehehe!

Oww well, good thing I’m already done with my tasks. It’s better to do them first before I overwhelm myself in front of my computer. That way I have no pending tasks at the end of the day. Hopefully, I will win in the next few rounds. Hehehe!

Minimizing fuel consumption

Minimizing fuel consumptionTravel light – remove all unnecessary stuff from your car. The more weight your car carries, the more fuel it requires to accelerate.

Go high – Driving on lower gears eats up more fuel than if you drive on higher gears. As soon as you reach a speed that allows a shift to higher gears, do so.

Don’t idle – when waiting for someone turn off the engine and open your windows (just make sure you are in a safe place). Avoid traffic jams. Map out a route with less vehicular volume or take to the road at times when there is less traffic.

Don’t go too fast – limit your speed to 80kph, which is more fuel-efficient than driving at 100kph and above. Driving at high speeds consumes more fuel.

Check your tires – make sure your tires have the correct air pressure. Too much or too little will slow down your car and increase fuel use.

planning for a condo

planning for a condoEven before we always thought about purchasing condo unit. We were about to fill-up some documents when we decided to go home due to some personal matters. Good thing we haven’t done it yet or else we would find it difficult to go back to our hometown.

For now we are just renting a small apartment that has too many problems. Like I said earlier after facing the pipe leaks, I am struggling to get the roof done before the heavy rains pour again. Other than that we are paying monthly rent that in the future will never be ours.

Actually, we have the option of buying a new house. The only problem is that newly built subdivisions are situated in the outskirts of the town. Our life revolves in the city and I can’t see myself driving for hours just to get to the mall for a dinner or lunch. So, the best way is to get condo unit like the Staunton va condo located in the middle of the town.

For now, I am still trying to convince hubby to get a condo unit here. Hopefully that would be soon.

leaking pipes again

leaking pipes againRemember the time that I keep on whining about our pipe leak problem here. Well, I was able to get through that thanks to our landlady who answers everything. For now, I don’t know whom to call to fix the leaking roof. But, I can get over that too in the future.

However, I am not the only person who has leak problem. My parents also discovered the leaking pipe last Saturday. They wouldn’t know that if they did not decide to cut the tall grass at the back of the house. The thing is, this problem might have started a long time ago, as there are scums build up in the concrete wall where the leak is located. Such that they are paying huge amount of water bill for a long time now.

Well, they can no longer return time as well as refund their money. The only thing they can do is to look for a plumber, which is too hard to find. Unlike the plumbers Richmond, VA who has a website of their own where they published their contact details as well as their availability. Isn’t that wonderful? If plumbers here knows how to build their own site even to free domains and hosting, life would be much better. I just hope my parents find the right guy to do the job.

not feeling good

not feeling goodI don’t feel good this day. I am craving for something that is not available in the fridge. I want to call hubby to buy me anything sweet, but my prepaid phone is empty. So, I decided to do something that will destruct my attention from my cravings.

But, before that I still need to check the Mopar performance parts my friend asked me. Actually, I had nothing to do with these parts as I don’t own a dodge car or any car that needs these. Probably he just missed me a lot and the only way to keep our conversations flowing is by asking me to look at this. As if I can help him with it. Hehehe! I don’t know anything about it.

Well, I’m off to cook something to eat.

Giving Blood

Giving BloodGiving Blood many years ago, when I worked as a transfusion volunteer at Stanford Hospital, there is a little girl named Liza who was suffering from a disease and needed blood from her five-year-old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. He hesitated for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, “Yes, I’ll do it if it will save Liza.”

As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as all people did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right away?”

Being young, the boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give her all his blood.

im sad I can’t absent

im sad I can't absentIt’s Monday and I do not know what to do aside from the thought of working. Well, I feel like going to sleep rather than go to work. Hehehe! But, I can’t do that of course. As I have so many things that I need to pay. One absent will cost me so much. So, I have to work my butt out of the bed.

But, before I do some work I decided to check the web for the best diet aids. I dreamed last night that I will have a super killer figure. It is such a wonderful dream. Reality check, I am not. So, I will try to look for whatever that can help me achieve that aside from exercise and diet. Hehehe!
