a greener choice

July 31st, 2009 · No Comments

I have a domain name that is about to expire in a month.  I know this because I just got an email from them.  I’m not sure if I should renew or not.  It’s the same with my web hosting.  It will expire at the end of the year and I’m not sure if I [...]

air conditioning

July 29th, 2009 · No Comments

I hate when the car air conditioning does not work properly.  It actually happened to me several times.  Although I don’t really like the cold all that much, it’s still a necessity especially when the temperature gets too hot.  We need a well functioning air conditioning more during the summer months.  So it is recommended [...]

live sports events

July 29th, 2009 · No Comments

It would be nice to watch a live sports event.  The last time I watched a live sporting event was when I was still in grade school.  I was with my father watching the basketball championship of my favorite team.  Of course, my team won.  I loved the winning vibe of watching something live and [...]

car spoilers

July 26th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Sporting a car spoiler is so back. I remember that this trend was so big in the 90’s that every car you saw on the streets had every kind of spoiler on it. And it’s making a comeback though I’m not really sure if it ever really went out of style.  I still [...]

wildwood vacation

July 25th, 2009 · No Comments

Before school starts, the family needs to go on a final vacation at Morey’s Pier, a classic seaside amusement park.  A New Jersey vacation like no other.  Although it’s rather too late to reserve hotel rooms in most tourist attractions, one may be surprised to find and still book a room at Wildwood New Jersey [...]

shopping at CHIEF

July 24th, 2009 · No Comments

Store policies sometimes suck.  Shopping should be enjoyable and without restrictions.  That’s why when I see stores that do not offer return policy or even exchange, I think twice before entering.  That’s also how I am with online stores.  When online shops have many restrictions and have no proper or good customer service, I get [...]

travel bags and luggages

July 24th, 2009 · No Comments

When I was still working, I had to travel most of the time.  They were not foreign travels but they were travel all the same and it involved packing of things before I leave and unpacking them at the hotel when I arrive.  It was a tedious job.  Not the work per se but the [...]

air compressors

July 24th, 2009 · No Comments

Air compressors are not only used for pumping flat tires.  In fact, air compressors can be used in a lot of things. If something needs air like power nail guns, spray guns, wrenches and many other tools, air compressors can do the job.  There are many types of air compressors that are available at [...]
