I Want Privacy

Our office just relocated. It's a stone's throw away from the original space we were at and in a different building. I love its proximity to shops and restaurants which would make our life a little easier when we need to go out for lunch or dinner. We are currently fixing some small details in the room that we were assigned to because apparently everyone can see us from the outside. Privacy is of utmost concern since there are confidential matters that we also need to work on. I hate to say this but it looks like we are in a fishbowl right now. I need to secure conservatory blinds so we could get some decent covers for our new space now. If that wouldn't be done within the week I'm sure to have problems when meeting schedules arrive. I'll have to push the administration department to take care of that.

The transfer was smooth and without hitches. The computers are working fine too! I love the new one because it is a little isolated. If they take care of the privacy concerns then it will be perfect. I wish I could bring my own covers for that because I probably have better taste in choosing the right color and texture for blinds. I don't like those other ones you usually see in banks which makes the feel too corporate. I want it formal but a little homey. I want the ones in the photo above. I'll ask them to get the ones on line. I'm sure they'll be doing the other offices too and this would be great for that look.

We're moving to the other building!

We're going to transfer to the corporate building and will be leaving this asylum looking one tonight. Although there have been good memories we need a more pleasing place to stay to do business. I had my boss call this current one we are in like a hospital room so there are no arguments about that. The one we're going to is a little better but there's one small problem; we won't have privacy. The walls are made of tempered glass so everyone could literally look at us from the outside. This is not good for us who need some quiet space when doing our job and I wish there was pleated conservatory blinds that we can use to address this issue. I'll contact some people from administration so they can procure them before I step into the other building. That's a great plan!

My team will be handling a lot of communication from the outside world because of new requirements. I will be working hard this month just like what I've been doing in the past. I need privacy just like everybody else in this world and if that small detail would do it for me this would be bliss! I'll try and see if I can make that place a better one than when we found it. If the people before us didn't remove the blinds there we wouldn't have to scuffle so hard to find new ones. Although it would turn out better looking now that I've got my eye on cozy ones I saw on line. It's turning out to be a pretty good day!


How's the weather in your neck of the woods?!

Sunshine Sometimes Spoils Sleep!

It's so nice to get some rest and recreation in this side of the world and I have been enjoying my stay in the hotel. I always go back so I can get some sleep after the tour but I'm having some problems in the morning. It's just way too bright here and they didn't have anything to cover the windows aside from mediocre treatments. The perfect solution for this is Cheap Roller Blinds and I'm going to make sure the hotel management hears from me. It would be a relief to see other tourists complement them by getting that much needed sleep. After all that's what we're all here for in the first place.

The solution is so simple and I would really want to do the same thing at home. I am a nocturnal and it is so convenient to get one on line. I want to stay asleep as long as I can so I can be ready the next day. I don't want the sunshine interrupting my sleep. If I wanted that in the afternoon a simple twist and I'd have all the light that I want. I'm going to get some for the office too so it'll be doubly private for those really confidential business meetings. The simple things really matter when you get to use them for the comforts of life!

Privacy Options!

It's been really hectic in the office because I had to redo some reports before the weekend and this is on top of our task to move to the other building as instructed by administration. I haven't even seen the room yet but they say it is quite open. I'm planning to get blinds so we would still have privacy while working there. Some of our documents and meetings are very confidential and if we are seen by everyone passing by that would just be too great of a risk! Getting some needed cover would solve the problem in a jiffy. I'm sure it will cost much less than putting up another wall or tearing down whole glass panels just for that purpose.

I'd like to make myself believe that everything would be a 100% okay when transferring but the logistics would be a nightmare. Easy solutions like that would make life a little better. It would cost a lot cheaper too because it would serve as commercial grade blinds that fit right in to the office feel. Some establishments like HILLARYS even have experts you can arrange appointments with so you can fix this faster than the usual handyman would do. I love what they could do in hotels, restaurants, and most public or private buildings. It instantly makes everything look better and I don't have to shell out too much funds for it!

Do you have them on your home? Is it easy to maintain? Care to share your experiences?

Typhoon Juan

In about an hour from now, Typhoon Juan is going to leave the land of the Philippines off the coast of La Union. At around midnight it will leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility and head off either East China or if it goes north it will go to Taiwan. It is so great that the predictions proved to be accurate because it is causing great damage. If I didn't have blinds on my window a few of my appliances might have ended up wet. It has been a lifesaver since I was a kid. It shields me from the sun too when I wake up late. I don't want to crisp up you know!

Weather has been pretty rough on us today. They even say life is unfair. We need the torrential rains so we can have some water to drink and fill up our reservoirs. I heard we are in normal levels even if the rainfall has been pretty rough. That's around 60-120 mm in a single day. The wind's pretty fast too that it ripped roofs and house walls off cities in the north. I'm glad to be safe in the refuge of my home and got my stuff still dry after that. We're all hoping for the best and I hope in some way we could find a way to prepare better so we didn't have casualties. As for me I'm getting my other windows fixed and fitted with blinds so I stay safe. Who's up for a natural shower?! Typhoon Juan might get us really wet as it goes out to the South China Sea. I wish we are always as ready as we are now. So we can have tea in the refuge of our own homes not worrying about anything when this happens!

What happened in your neck of the woods?!

Mom Should Get Me Awnings!

You guys probably know that I'm trying to build a refuge in the south. Part of that plan is to also get some furniture and pieces that I'd enjoy with my family. I wanted something rustic and very natural looking so the wood work is going to be a little hard. I forgot something though aside from the swing I wanted to get for the porch; I should have had awnings attached to the roof since the rain isn't a joke around here. That might just spoil the wood so I need to get one for it. The deal is I don't have that much choice in this side of the world so I'd probably get ones on line. Here we go again with my retail therapy ha-ha!

This is pretty much a necessity so I can take care of the ones I bought. Imagine what it would be like if torrential rain and sun always hit them, that would really spell another shelling out of money if I don't take care of them right? I have to make sure I make my investment work for me and my family because after all I worked for it! I want to still be shaded from harsh rays while sitting on that swing + porch reading my very first novel. I know! I should have been writer somewhere in my life. This is going to be another one of those reality shows put on paper. I've got to find them now... some stores like HILLARYS have them (*hint*) and Mom would be the perfect candidate to donate that to me! That's just about sounds right! I hope Mom agrees!

Maybe Get Blinds?!

There are several reasons why I don't invite guests over to my house. None may have noticed it but I never throw parties or events in it since time in memorial. Well maybe once but it never happened again because I severely didn't like the way our house looked like. It's funny because my Mom and Dad always had friends over way back and didn't even bother. I guess I am the meticulous one because I always look into details. My room is not an exception because I don't have decent window treatments. I never had time to redecorate or have any touch of interior design since I work graveyards and sleep in the morning. I always tell myself to get venetian blinds so I could at least get the sunshine filtered when I sleep. My eyes hurt obviously when I get hit by rays and I never really did anything to solve it. I want to get some sleep and I always hoped and pray that this isn't one of those times when I need to muster enough strength to shut my eyes. It's really not a choice anyway. Go figure!


I'll ask around or maybe look on sites that have them. I wouldn't want to spend a fortune and I'm really going to have to look around. If I can save a few dollars and get the best ones out there; that will be really good for me!
