Financial problem is one of the most common marriage problems that unnecessarily lead to an argument or even separation. Money matters are simple if you really think about it. Either you can afford something or you cannot. If you cannot afford it, you choose to either stop your unnecessary spending of money or earn more money by starting up a small business and letting your friends and other people know about it through computer business cards. Learning from experience, financial issues is really just a very simple concept. If we want something that is not very important at all, we wait for the time when we can afford to buy it. Many couples let themselves into financial problems because they sometimes ignore money issues. Like most marriage problems, couples should take their time to discuss financial issues before they become out of hand. You should sit down together, discuss the real cause of the problem and work together for possible solutions. Arguing or fighting does not solv

After the house construction, we are now facing the need for the basic house furnishings. I'm more into modern furniture with a touch of classic design because aside from the great design and architecture they are manufactured and tested according to our present needs and tastes. Our living space is still bare. Aside from the TV stand and the baby crib, there's nothing there, really. I have always dreamed of having that perfect leather sofa for our living room. Leather sofas not only provide comfort for the living room but add a touch of elegance as well. They would be perfect especially when we have visitors.

It's Saturday once again, and the best thing to do first before enjoying the comforts of my bedroom is to clean all the clutters that has piled up during the weekdays especially our bedroom dressers. With two, busy kids who go to school, our bedrooms can easily be disorganized. They always end up looking like an unruly mess, particularly our dressers. Whew, you could just imagine what a sight it makes! It is as if a hurricane just passed our room leaving no mercy to those who came her way. Since I started working, I have not found any moment to do some general organization of all the stuff on our dressers but I always see to it that I return all the things to their places after using them and routinely sort them to see if there is anything I can discard. It is really very important for me that our things are organized. Besides looking neat and clean, it would be a great time-saver when I am looking for something. Well, I do admit, I could blast like an active volcano when I look

What's this van doing here? The country is saving electricity. Are we taking our part in celebrating Earth Day early? The answer is just a plain "No". The reason is too far from Earth Day's campaign. We are saving electrical energy for the coming election on May 2010. We have scheduled power interruption, - er not really scheduled because we don't receive any advisory from the provider - which happens almost everyday. As usual, I was burning my browses trying to beat my deadline. I'm on the process of quality checking my work when my monitor turned black. I thought there would be no power interruption today but why did this happen? We went out of the office trying to get some fresh air only to realize that we're the only one having power problem. Our line was dead because of overload. An hour or so later, a white van with a ladder on top on it came and we easily identified them as the power people. They effortlessly pulled the ladder from the van

I was on my way home last night. Seated beside me in the multicab is a girl in a conventional hospital nurse uniform. She was excitedly chatting with another girl on her side. I know it is not good to eavesdrop but I could hear their voices without intending to listen to their conversation. They just came from a school-related activity. When I dropped my head trying to take a nap, I saw a hardbound folder on the girl's lap. I figured out they just attended her oath taking ceremony. When I was just a little girl, I have always wanted to become a teacher. I would insist I be one on role-plays in school or even at home. Most of my classmates and friends also wanted to be a teacher. It could be that our teachers had great influence on our childhood dreams. I have never dreamed I would be in a medical profession. The only times I have worn lab coats for doctors were on science laboratories. I have seen people on medical scrub sets but never imagined myself wearing one. Because of

Electric fans accumulate dust and dirt quickly. This would greatly affect the efficiency of the fans. It is very important that we keep fans clean at all times. To clean your electric fan: Use warm soapy water to clean the blade cover, blade and front and rear outer cover. Make sure to remove the accumulated dirt in the fan motor itself. Use a paintbrush to clean it. Wipe everything ensuring they are all dry before returning the parts.
