Construction Musings

So my client decided to proceed with the construction of his house. To save on money, he decided to hire laborers instead of sourcing for a contractor. Oh yes, he would save some money but there's no one to guarantee failed work and then there's the fact that he has to be at the construction site everyday.
He has been buying equipment for the construction. I told him to buy wood router since he decided to ask one of the carpenters to make the door jambs. He might as well buy different sized  clamping levers for easy tightening of whatever tools and equipments that are used in the construction.

No Maids!

I've been out of commission,  (in my blogging) because I don't have maids! In the Philippines, it is a common occurrence for almost all households to have at least a maid to help about the house so the homeowner could go to work and earn a living (to pay for the maid). It is actually a vicious cycle  - we work so we can earn to pay for the maid. The fact that is making it doubly hard for me to cope is that there's barely 2-year old Tabby to contend with. This girl is like a whirlwind! She is every where! She is nothing like her older brother who was so behaved as a toddler. Anyway... here's hoping I'd be able to find household helpers before school starts in June.

Headphones

 I attended three graduation in rites in a week and in one of them, I was the guest speaker. It was hard talking to a bunch of graduates with hyperactive tendencies in an open area. Though the sound system was loud enough, it was hard communicating with the person in-charge of the sound and video system. The point persons on stage and off stage did not have headphones so they could hear each other amongst the din of  sounds. After the program I asked the stage soundman if they have headphones. He said the school has 2  akg k240 that they use for recording. They never actually thought of using them until I asked!Oh well, next time then.

D4's new sport is surfing. She's definitely a newbee but I guess she's better than other girls (and even men) out there who claim the title of surfer dudette and dude.

If you are planning to sell your PC or laptop, make sure all the deleted files are really deleted, never to be recovered. Opt for a subscription to
