They were all fast asleep, probably too tired to hear something even the bark of the dog. When they woke up the following morning, news spread that someone tried to break in. Apparently one of the neighbors saw it. The guy was clad in a black outfit with a matching black bonnet covering his face. No one had a clue to who it was. Scary isn’t it? Do you want to experience that some day? Nah, before that happens I will have a security camera installed. It’s hard to sleep at night knowing that someone attempted to break in. This can happen you know, I hear a lot of those stories in the news. It becomes horror stories when they finally break in. Will you wait for this thing to happen? Scary isn’t it?

My sister has really been stressed out lately. That is because she is moving to a new place. I can say that she did the move all by herself literally. Well my other sister lives near her place but she has work to attend to. So basically it’s just my sister. Now I really don’t know if she remembered changing the furnace filter in her new home. She mentioned it to me when I called her a couple of weeks back. I think the former owner has not been using the furnace so I think it needs some attention. Will check if she did since it gets really cold during this time.
I wish to visit her someday in her new house. When I was there in 2005, I stayed with her but at her apartment. She wasn’t a homeowner just yet. I am really excited for her now, I know she has lots and lots of plans on how to make her house even more beautiful.

When I go to home stores, one section I love going to is the rug section. I always check them out to see if the one I like is not sold yet. Haha el cheapo you might say, but hey that wouldn’t happen if I’m rich. Anyway I want to show you the area rugs that I so love. Now you would understand why I keep on checking to see if it’s still available. There is actually more than one that I like, and here’s hoping that I’d get it soon than I expect. My house need those rugs!

We got no new telly, but it does not mean that I can’t get a new stand. I’ve been browsing through some tv stands and I particularly want something mounted. Why you ask? One time I went inside my daughter’s room and I found her directly in front of the TV. We all know that there should be a distance maintained when we watch television. But no, not my daughter! I often catch her doing that. The only solution would be a mounted TV stand so things like this will never happen anymore.

Times are hard. A lot of crimes are committed. Is it because a lot of people are jobless? Is it because they are lazy? Is it because they are consumed by drugs? I’d say it’s all of the above so to speak. It’s just scary that we are not even sure of our security anymore. We hear a lot of horror stories and even watch it on television, how people get killed by these bad elements. Some even force themselves to get inside houses. Robbers think of new schemes on how to victimize households. It’s really scary if you think of it. I know of a lot of people who have installed Video Door Intercom already. This is very helpful I should say. Before you let someone in, you see their face already. Yeah this is a good idea. If I have enough money, I think I would install one in our house too. By doing this, I can avoid a lot of things security wise. It would be nice to think that I won’t be going down anymore to ask who is that someone in the gate especially for those ones who are not expected. There are a lot of benefits when a video door intercom is installed. At least fear of getting some bad elements inside the house is reduced. It’s a plus factor security wise.

I really love their slogan. It’s quite interesting at the same time eye catching. It would definitely intrigue you. I’m talking about Murray Feiss, the home fashion for life. They do exceptional indoor and outdoor lighting. A lot of American homes have been using this, I actually didn’t notice if my sisters are using it. I think my stay with them is too short that I hardly noticed anything in their home.

Two weeks ago, when we visited some of the houses that are being rented, our tenants showed us termite damage in some parts of the house. We were disappointed seeing it. The tenants could have done something about it, but then again that is the problem with them since they don’t own the house. What we expected from them though is to tell us right away if they see something unusual so we can immediately act on it. Now our problem is how to go about it since in some houses the damage is really huge. I’ve been telling the hubs to hire a professional for extermination of these termite colonies. When all this is done already, I might talk to these tenants and educate them on how to inspect for termites.

Looks like I will be needing this stuff. With the recent increase in electricity charges, one would always think and find a way on how to save on electricity. At the rate we are paying right now, I don’t know where to get the money anymore to pay for the additional charge incurred because of the increase. I often tell my household help to be easy on the gadgets that uses electricity. Instead of them using it every other day, I tell them to do it once a week. But with the recent discovery that I made, things would go back to normal. I am talking about the cleaning routine at home. Since I don’t have a hand vac (I want the cordless one), I would request my sisters to buy me this Energy Star Accucharge Hand Vac. What’s with the energy star you may ask? Well that is the new Accucharge technology wherein it is energy efficient because it charges twice as fast. It reduces energy consumption by as much as 70 percent. The system also protects batteries from degradation, meaning longer life for batteries. There are a lot of features that I like in this hand vac aside from it being energy efficient. One is the cordless feature. It makes cleaning and endless possibility because you can bring it anywhere. Sometimes the sockets restrict us from cleaning hard to reach areas. I am too lazy to take out the extension cord. But with the cordless one, there is no reason not to be able to clean all areas. I think I like a stick Vac too, a cordless one again. It has actually the same energy saving feature with the hand vac. Both products are quite affordable, that’s why I want to buy it. What is a little over a hundred bucks compared to the increase in electricity charges you will incur whenever you use gadgets that require electricity.

I was not paying much attention to the lighting of a house until we had our house built. It was my husband who took care of the lighting, because if he’d let me to do the lighting, our house wouldn’t be as homey and cozy as it is now. Now I totally see the difference between on how lights are to be positioned. I was laughing at my husband when he was designing the lighting of the house, and it also kept me thinking, why on earth is he spending a lot of time of that when he could just have placed those white lights. Pardon my ignorance, but I have always loved white lights. But with hubby, he taught me how to play with lights in order to give the house more ambiance. He introduced me to fine art lamps by bringing me to lamp stores. I actually admire his taste for different kinds of lamps as he showed me his choices. I couldn’t say no to what he picked because it was really beautiful. He also showed me some lamps similar to these hinkley light fixtures, and I was like wow, it looks so grand, something that you would want to put in your house.

My husband is thinking of changing the tivoli lights we have every Christmas. He wants to put led rope light this time. It’s like he’s going to outline the whole house with led rope lights. I think the idea is awesome and I can’t wait. Actually he already thought of using it last Christmas, but we didn’t have enough time to plan everything. I am excited already because I saw this house with led rope lighting in one of the posh subdivisions and it’s just pretty and eye catching. The beautiful lighting sets it apart from all the other houses. I think it’s the perfect accent lighting to have during the holiday season. Hhhhmmm, what color should we use? If I’m going to ask my daughter, definitely she’ll say violet. Yeah, violet is cool, not a typical Christmas color, but nowadays there are no rules to follow really. As long as you think it would look good, then why not. And another thing, compared to the tivoli lights that we have, led rope lights have much longer life. The led bulbs can last up to 100,000 hours. Isn’t that amazing? And here’s another thing to be considered. Led rope lights generate almost no heat, and it requires less energy too. Woohoo we can save on electricity. Funny how we turn off the tivoli lights after an hour’s use, because of some news we hear that it can cause fire after prolonged use. With led rope lights, we can be assured that it’s safe even on extended hours of use.

I just remembered the time when we used to cut the grass at our lawn using a grass shear. It was quite fun doing it actually but very tiresome. Mom wants her lawn well maintained, so we were like required to do it once a month. I remember wishing for a lawn mower so it wouldn’t be as tiring. Like the ones that you ride on to operate. I was seeing it a lot on TV, so maybe that’s the reason why I wanted it. At that time it was the fastest and fuss free way of cutting the grass. It was fun too. But I think gone are the days that people use shears and that kind of lawn mower. What they use now is called Robomower and Lawnbott. These are the types of lawn mowers that you can just leave on your lawns. You don’t need to stand behind it for it to operate. With just a press of a button, it can work it’s way in making your lawns very tidy. This will allow you to do other things. When I read about it, I began to understand why it has become a best seller. Imagine there is no physical activity involved, no more back aches to suffer from plus you will be able to attend to other things while the Robomower works. These are the key advantages of owning one. If only I had a lawn to mow, I would definitely buy this product.
