Simple Solutions

Winter is here! And first snowfall brought a lot of accidents already. I haven't tried any of these... I just got this from my inbox and thought that it might be interesting to share...


As we all know, all sorts of variables can have a real and immediate effect on our capability to safely operate our vehicles at this time of year. Unusual as they may seem to some of us – they are really just some very simple solutions, that once applied can make a world of difference to all of our driving abilities. Listed below are these helpful, but unusual hints:

• At this time of year, especially with the way the headlights of the vehicles are now designed, the snow/rain & dirt can quickly cause a "film over" of your vehicle’s headlights in a very short time – leaving you with reduced visibility right at the wrong time. The Simple Solution: To prevent this from taking place a simple application of ordinary car wax will keep your headlights clear. Just wipe a light coating of some ordinary car wax onto your headlights. The car wax contains special water repellents that will present that messy snow/water/dirt mixture from accumulating on your lights. Properly done, a single application of the wax to your headlights should last on your vehicle for about 6-weeks.
  
  
• How about those squeaky wind-shield wipers – and they seem to keep getting worse the more that you utilize them. The Simple Solution: "Squeak-Proof" your wind-wipers with ordinary rubbing alcohol. Wipe the wind-shield wiper with a cloth that is saturated with rubbing alcohol or even ammonia. This one trick can make a badly streaking and squeaky wipers change to near perfect silence and clarity.
  
  
• The winter conditions will bring both frost and/or ice onto the wind-shields' of our vehicles. Want to be pro-active and ensure the frost or ice won’t affect you in any way? The Simple Solution: Ice-proof your windows using ordinary vinegar. Just fill a spray bottle with three parts vinegar to one part water and then spray it on all your windows at night. In the morning they’ll be clear of the icy mess. Vinegar contains acetic acid which raises the melting point of water preventing the water from freezing.
  
  
• Also with the ice and frost thing – how many times do you find your vehicle's doors frozen due to ice or frost? The Simple Solution: Prevent car doors from freezing shut with household cooking spray. "Spritz" the cooking oil on all the rubber seals around your vehicle’s doors and gently rub it in with a paper towel. This application of the cooking spray prevents water from being absorbed into the rubber.
  
  
• With the quickly changing temperatures at this time of year, your vehicles wind-shield fog can very quickly "fog-up" and create an extremely dangerous lack of visibility situation. The Simple Solution: Believe it or not by applying a light coating of shaving cream from a spray can on the inside of your windshields and then carefully wiping it off with paper towels – you can have a "fog-proof" windshield. The shaving cream has many of the same ingredients found in commercial defoggers.
  
  
• Ever find that your car-door locks have become frozen and you have no way to get in. The Simple Solution: Easily de-ice your car-door locks in just seconds with ordinary hand sanitizer. Just put some hand sanitizer get on the key and then the lock and the problem is solved. Hand sanitizers contain alcohol [the same as lock de-icers]. The small bottles of hand sanitizers are easy to carry and are very much a dual purpose to assist you with sanitizing requirements.

Driving is no different than any other job-task we are expected to perform. The amount of preparation that we take before we start the task, will certainly keep us on track to perform that task in the safest manner possible. As unusual as these hints may seem – they do work and can certainly make our driving safer. With just these few suggestions, we can prepare ourselves for the upcoming transitional winter months and ensure we have a prepared, productive and warm workforce where nobody gets hurt.

Hello Corporate World!

This post brought to you by Express. All opinions are 100% mine.

I'm getting ready to enter into the Corporate world, again, after 10 years of being a stay at home mom.  And of course, during that span of 10 years, I have gain a few pounds here and there.   Also, I gave away all of my office clothes when I stopped working and even if I have them, I think they will be out of style already. 

In lieu of being interviewed and looking professional, I need new women's suits.  I bought a few sets already just to get myself ready when an interview comes along. 

Anyway, I love the suits at Express.com.   They are very stylish and they fit me perfectly.   They got a huge selection of clothings depending on the season.   It isn't hard for me to look for my size, color and design.   They are usually wash and wear type of clothing too. So there's really no need for ironing.  And once you know your size, you can easily do your shopping online.  

Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know which suit(s) yuo love and why. 

If you like them as much as I did, you might want to join Express sweepstakes for a chance to win $500 worth of makeover!  Now, that would be good for someone who is starting to enter into the Corporate world again.  For one to look professional, one need to invest on clothing and suits!

Top 10 Reasons Why There Couldn’t Be a Filipino-American US President By David Letterman

Filipinos are certainly getting into mainstream America and into the world. With an estimated 4 million Filipino-American population (as of 2007), Filipinos are an emerging group in a diverse society in the United States .

Filipino talents like Manny Pacquiao, Charice Pempengco, Arnel Pineda, Lea Salonga, and Monique Lhuiller are doing a great job pitching in!
David Letterman, apparently used Filipino-Americans in one of his skits.

Here’s the recap:

Top 10 Reasons Why There Couldn’t Be a Filipino-American US President By David Letterman

10. The White House is not big enough for in-laws and extended relatives.
9. There are not enough parking spaces at the White House for 2 Honda Civics,2 Toyota Land Cruisers, 3 Toyota Corollas, a Mercedes Benz, a BMW, and an MPV (My Pinoy Van).
8. Dignitaries generally are intimidated by eating with their fingers at State dinners.
7. There are too many dining rooms in the White House – where will they put the picture of the Last Supper?
6. The White House walls are not big enough to hold a pair of giant wooden spoon and fork.
5. Secret Service staff won’t respond to "psst... psst" or 'hoy.hoyhoy!"
4. Secret Service staff will not be comfortable driving the presidential car with a Holy Rosary hanging on the rear view mirror, or the statue of the Santo Nino on the dashboard.
3. No budget allocation to purchase a Karaoke music-machine for every room in the White House.
2. State dinners do not allow "Take Home".

AND THE NUMBER I REASON WHY THERE COULDN’T BE A FILIPINO-AMERICAN U.S. PRESIDENT IS…

1. Air Force One does not allow overweight Balikbayan boxes!

European shopping bags

I've seen these around a lot... from my inbox that is....

Straight talk for only $30

This post brought to you by Straight Talk. All opinions are 100% mine.

Who can beat this one?  In one simple package, you will get everything you need - 1000 minutes with 1000 text messaging and 30 MB of web data for only $30 per month.  411 calls are also included at no extra charge.  There are no activation or termination fees.  Because there's no contract to sign!   You can get to choose between LG, Motorola, Kyocera, Nokia or Samsung unit.

mom knows best when it comes to budgeting and saving money.   Since my son is now commuting to school, it is important for me that he has his own cell phone.    He may need to call a friend to find out what he missed in school.  He may need to call me or his daddy in case he missed his bus or in case of other emergency like being stuck in traffic or the bus broke down.

Hence, no mother can forego this type of deal.  Kids these days needs to have cell phone on hand, it is a "necessity".   There's no need to buy fancy phones.  And those who prefer fancy/expensive phones ends up signing contracts just to get the best deal on the cell phones.  But if you add up its monthly minimum plans, you are actually paying way more.

Do you have regrets in your life?

I guess at one point in our life, we do have one regret or two or more. For me, I don't treat them as regrets, rather, I treat them as a hard core learning experience. After all, we all learn from our experiences, good or bad. I always believe in my right to make choices and these choices may result in regrets or triumphs. Bottom line is I made the choice and there's no one I could blame it on. It's a choice I made so I have to learn to live with it!

Do you have regrets?

Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
