Sunshine Sometimes Spoils Sleep!
Sunday, November 07, 2010
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!

So here I go blogging from my phone in a not so quaint hotel in Singapore. This isn't the posh place I hoped it would be. But its okay, and it does the deed.... I think there are more horror stories in other places. This is also in Orchard which is a MAJOR relief because its near everything. It's also right beside the Singapore Prime Minister's residence so in a not so fancy world he's my neighbor LOL!
But really to tell you honestly I want to go home already. I love traveling don't get me wrong but oh boy this is so tiring. Imagine a 12 hour day walk. Then you have to travel again all the way back to your hotel. Your foot becomes numb halfway and you wouldn't want to walk anymore. I wish there was a hovercraft we could ride anywhere but hey this walking thing is a culture for them I guess. I even walked a whole train station length because I went down too early. I could have gone to the next station instead. I just knew when I got there! Sheesh!
I've got lots of stories to tell and so little time. I'm so tired already so I've got to get some sleep since we're going again tomorrow. I don't know if I'm going to like this place but hey, its something different from the Philippines so its still a treat. I wonder if I'll have time to meet some bloggers here. Some nuffies or maybe some Filipino bloggers based in Singapore.
Going to post some photos once I get some time to post process them here. I brought my laptop but it seems a little weird that I have to pay a huge amount and stay in the lobby just to get connected. I want to wreak havoc in their wireless network as soon as I get out of here just for trips! Hahaha! XD
Please don't call me a racist, I just can't stand the smell of bumbays and bangladeshis... if you see them in beaches and in groups the smell is just TOXIC believe me! O_O Arrggggh!!
I miss my bed bigtime!

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!
