When you can't do it, they'll do it For You!

I'm no handyman and to tell you honestly it has been years since I did something beneficial at home. I can't build stuff. I don't do carpentry. I don't know how to wash clothes. I don't even know how to do the dishes. I can cook but only I can stand the spices so I'm the only one who eats it too. I can be handy around the kitchen but not elsewhere. When it started raining a couple of months ago I felt something drip on the side walls of our house. I never mentioned it to anyone until we had a typhoon just last month. It was Signal number 4 and the country was ravaged by it. While I was trying to get some sleep that same place that had drips suddenly became so strong it was already causing a minor flood in my room. Dad wasn't that good about fixing things too so we asked around. They were literally charging us a few hundred bucks just for fixing small holes and applying putty on it. I knew that offer isn't right so I checked out places like BISONBID.COM on the Internet. It was then that I said to myself, if ever I was going to have any kind of home remodel; I'll try to find help here first. I need to save money and they have a lot of people who do odd jobs like these. It looks like the perfect place for me!

Fixing the roof and the labor required for it was easy to negotiate for. I was sure that there are a lot of professionals who could do it but this one can get me the best deal since they bid on it. Professional contractors are going to have to wait because there are even more qualified people on their site that can do the job at a fraction of the cost. I'm not going to spend too much money for renovation or remodeling when we are in a financial crisis. That wouldn't be the smart thing to do. At least in this place they can outbid each other and I can choose the best deal too! Best of all the service is free of charge! No need to pay outright until you get the job done. You guys better check it out to get that bathroom or kitchen fixed next!

Daily Moo's 11022010


It's November and I can feel the cold wind blowing. Oh that's just the air conditioning unit... nothing to be afraid about like its snowing in Manila... people could die from that.

I wanted to go to the CREAM Halloween Ball but decided not to go last minute. I go out too much these days. I need a massage more than anything else. I always go to bars and end up drunk then swear never to drink again because of the hangover. It's a vicious cycle!

I'm going some place where most tourists have been before. I'm going with my folks and sister so this is going to be a little troublesome for me. I pay the bills... well most of it.

I haven't paid my phone bills yet. I will have to eventually but I'm doing a lot of things these days. Don't worry I might be able to do that after this post. Bancnet is probably online now.

Did you know that the Starbucks Planner for 2010 is out?! Yeap! So start collecting those stickers and cards again so you can get the planner for free. Well not really, you need to drink a ton of frapuccinos and get nervous before you get one. Did I say you'll pay close to a few thousand pesos too? It's a marketing trap and we are all falling for it!

Some Jolina Fans are bugging me over Facebook claiming I said something bad about their idol on an article. If you really read the fine print, it was all about just turning up the volume (hence I was talking about the audio) and not about the artist. Did you really read the post I made?! Spare me the drama... puhleaaase!

Off to Singapore! See you there! =)

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?
