Time to Cool Down

Gosh! It was really hot last night. My son didn’t sleep well because our air conditioning unit is not working properly. Urgh! If only I was able to call the air conditioning repair Austin technician that my mom told me then we won’t experience this kind of hassle. Now, my husband and I has baggy eyes because from lack of sleep. Well, I never thought that the unit will not totally work that night, I thought it was just a loose connection.

Presumptions that made our son cranky and my husband sweaty the whole night. Lol! That’s why as early as 8 am this morning, I called the technician’s office and hire them to repair our air conditioning unit. And based on their call time, they might be arriving a little later. I’m really hoping that they can arrive a little earlier than expected for I still need to check on it before evening falls.

Oh well, I need to sign off for a while and confirm the exact time they are going to arrive. Especially that my husband plans to go out and have a little picnic at a nearby park. I’ll be back in an hour or two for more blogging stuffs. Anyways, I really need to go now. Ciao!





Building a Dream House

As said on my previous posts before my brother Michael and his wife are currently on the process of building their dream house and based on my estimate the house is already 70 percent finish. All the basic foundations and construction has been accomplished as well as the roofs and the floor. We visited them yesterday that are why I know how what they are working at.

Next week, as based on the engineer’s time table, wood floor installers will start to work on the floor of the house and hopefully finish installing the wood floor before this month ends. You see, my brother wanted wood type flooring instead of marbles or granites that my dad has suggested. My brother said, wood has a warmer approach in terms of comfy and elegance with respect to interior aspect.

Good thing, a Sears’s depot is just near their place, that’s why buying wood floor has been a breeze for them. Sears has everything from carpeting, tile, laminate, granite and hardwood floors. Fortunately, they also offer floor installation which can be availed on a flexible financing process. And that’s what they did. Tomorrow, the wood installers will come and beautify my brother’s dream house.

Mesothelioma Survival Rate

I think not many of us knew the mesothelioma as a disease. One of the reason maybe is it not one of the top causes of mortality in our country. But did you know that this is one of the most deadly kinds of cancer? As a backgrounder mesothelioma is a rare cancer that usually attacks the lungs and the stomach in some instances. Most patients who unfortunately acquire the disease are workers from an industrial plant or so that uses asbestos as part of the manufacturing process. But I’m not saying that only those who work on asbestos present plant gets disease, anyone can get the cancer for as long as you are exposed to asbestos in a long period of time.

The latency period of this cancer is long, thereby taking years for it to be detected on one’s body. Unfortunately, that kind of latency period affects the mesothelioma survival rate of a patient who has it already. Because of the fact that it cannot be detected immediately many die from it because the cancer has already damaged most of the vital organs.

That is why the government has implemented new laws about the usage of asbestos in industrial plants and even on household. Asbestos are now being banned in some areas in the United States just to prevent any further damage in the community. To know more about it you can search the internet about it.

Should I see an Ophthalmologist ?

I’ve been blogging for about 3 hours now which means I’ve been in front of my laptop for about 4 hours already. Hmm.. Why is it feels like I’ve been browsing the internet for a day already? What does this means? My eyes are so tired and they feel itchy and somewhat teary. Does this means I need to wear prescription eye glasses? Oh my! I hope not.

Actually, this eye discomfort has been bugging me since last year. Well, maybe working in a computer filled room for 8 hours is the culprit. Imagine being an in front of a computer 8 hours a day, 6 days a week and that is for 9 years! God! My eyes have really been damage for overexposure already. Urgh!

But I am a bit afraid to go to an ophthalmologist and wear prescription glasses for it may make my eye problem worst. Just like what my friend Judith told me before. She was forced to wear glasses during the day because her sight needs to be corrected but because she’s not into wearing glasses she usually take them off when she feels like it. Result – more stigmatism was detected. Now, she’s wearing a thicker lens eyeglass just for her to see.

So what do you think? Should I see an eye expert now?

The Teacup Chihuahua

I was browsing my Facebook account this morning when I saw this cute little thing at my friend’s account. :)


This is a true living Chihuahua that is a size of a teacup! Isn’t he the cutest little thing ever? Lol! Honestly, I’m not a dog lover but if ever I get a chance to own this Chihuahua I will definitely grab the opportunity. He will be my first every living doggie toy!Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a brainiac or someone with adapexin-p overdose; I just want this puppy because he reminded me of the Chihuahua toy I got from Mc Donald’s happy meal. Lol! :)
