Tough Fight ...

There are people out there who currently have a Crestor lawsuit and are being assisted by different lawyers so that they will be well compensated. Somehow we can classify this people as either lucky and unlucky. Lucky because they were able to get some help so that they are sure that they are given what is due to them — living and medical assistance. But they are also unlucky because they really did not knew what hit them until they got sick. Imagine, you are just using something which you thought will be of big help to you but it turns out it would cause you a big harm. I guess that’s the reason why a lot of them are now having a lawsuit filed.

Plumbing Services ...

In the past, the plumber that I was calling is reliable, no, he is not a
Richmond VA plumber. He fixed the problem that I asked him to fixed and we won’t have any problem at all. But recently I asked my  brother to give him a call to fixed the leak in our shower. I thought they already understand each other but unfortunately now that I saw the job, I realized it is not complete yet. He left without fixing the shower knob. And not only that he was not able to fix our electric fan also. I am not sure why. I really wanted to fix everything in our house but unfortunately I realized that there are people who are too shy to speak their mind out. Even if it is necessary. And it is causing me so much stress. Oh gawd. But it’s okay. Hope that before the husband goes back he would be able to fixed them.

Before the New Year ...

The husband had agreed that we give the pricey housekeeping a try. Since they promise to clean the house upside down well I am expecting that once they are done they would leave our house squeaky clean. It’s like wanting to try a new product and reading a review about it. For example reading xenadrine reviews before using it.

Auto Insurance ...

It’s the time of the year once again when you have to check with your agents for your insurance and taxes. For us, we have to look for an auto insurance ( just like auto insurance raleigh ) for the husband’s car in Kuwait. Also, we have to pay for the premiums of our other insurance plus the real estate tax of our house. Oh man! Too many payments. But I guess instead of  complaining I should be glad because we have some funds to pay for them right.

Amber’s ...

I am not capable to cook. And I don’t want to burden my sister in law of cooking for Christmas Eve so I decided that we just have to order food from the restaurant. I have no idea who to call but for Christmas I was a different menu. It’s like buying Rebecca Minkoff handbags because I got tired of seeing the same brand of bags in my bag cabinet. haha. Thankfully, my sister mentioned Amber to me. We were discussing what to bring for the potluck and she told me I can buy pichi – pichi there. Since we are heading to the airport on the 24th, I decided to give them a call, ordered PANCIT BIHON, PICHI, BARBECUE and CHICKEN for the kids. Their pancit plus the pichi are yummy. Worth the trip. But the chicken, the kids snobbed it. haha. Until now we still have it on the fridge. lol. And it’s really hard calling their delivery hotline. I guess because it’s the holiday.

Home Improvement 2011 ...

Every year before the year comes to a close the husband and I would discuss all our plans for the new year. And that would always include our plans on improving our home. For next year, we really wanted to build a second floor but that would depend on our cash flow. But our priority is converting the room in the garage into some kind of an office space. That includes putting in some cabinets and furnitures in it.

On a Rush ...

I am trying to be calm. Ignoring the fact that outside everybody is in a holiday rush. Because I still cannot function properly and going outside is a no, no. My siblings have no choice but to do everything for me * insert evil laugh here *. Nah, I am just grateful that my older brother, aside from aiding me to walk and be at my beck and call when I need help is willing always to go to the market and grocery for our food. While my older sister on the other hand settles all my banking needs and some shopping on the mall. Through this my life as a temporary handicap is bearable.

To Go or Not? ...

Since birth, it’s our yearly tradition to go to my paternal relatives during Christmas. This year, I am contemplating if we will go or not. Actually my older sister won’t since they would be spending Christmas Eve and Christmas with her in laws so that New Year they would be in our house. My brother is insistent that we should go. I, of course, is having second thoughts. The husband would surely be tired from his flight and I don’t like to hire a wheelchair and it would be too tiring for me if I used the walker. So, I think I would just let my brother and his family go. It’s not that I am breaking a tradition. This is an exception you know. Being outside of the house is really a big task for me. Not only walking but also wearing adult diapers. that’s why I only go out when I need to have some check ups.

Considering ...

I have seen a poster about a company offering general housekeeping in our area. I am curious about it so I called. And I am a bit shocked at their pricing. The owner said that they offer cleaning the whole house, then waxing it, and all other cleaning services. Their prices is 30php per square meters. So for our house it would reach thousands. I am thinking if I should asked them to clean it up or just relay on the cleaning lady that my agent recommends. I only pay her php 300 for the cleaning and it’s only half day. But I am not really satisfied with the way she clean. While on the other hand this company seems to offer to clean our house upside down though they are a bit pricey. Okay, I have to asked the husband’s decision on this.

Messy Hair ...

Every now and then I play with my hair. I try to look at it on my laptop’s camera and assessed how long it has grown ever since the accident. Sometimes I am frustrated just thinking how messy it looks and the fact that I still have to wait for two months or more before I can get it treated. You see, before my accident I used to go to beauty saloon for my hair treatment. Not that i am a vain person. But I just like taking care of my hair because there are times that because of my LUPUS I experienced extreme hair fall to the point of going bald. Now, in this circumstance, I wish I have an experienced when it comes to cosmetology. I wish I am one of those skilled graduates of cosmetology school and I can cut my own hair and be fashionable.
