Do you also find it difficult to find Christmas gifts to your husband, brother and boy friends? I always have a hard time, it’s always the generic shirts because gadgets are too expensive. But if you’re the generous type, you can also opt to give pricier ones.

For the outdoor loving person in your life, you can’t go wrong with giving something from the North Face. They have everything from tents, shoes, shirts, jackets and other gears.

For the husband, I’m checking out northface jackets from RockyMountainTrail.com.

Having a bath tub in the house is not always part of the plan. Oftentimes you are limited by additional expenses during the time you are having your own house built. Other times, you do not actually own your house. You are just renting and it happens that there is no bath tub installed. Since location matters more than amenities, you decided to take the place even without the tub.

Why not get your tub now? You can have one of those clawfoot tubs available which is just like having another basin in your bathroom. Less hassle, if not no hassle at all.

Dunlop bloated tire

Badet — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 15:01:42 +0000

I suddenly remembered that I wasn’t able to post the photo of our weird looking Dunlop bloated tire. This tire mishap happened last August and we still can’t get over it until now, we’re still keeping the tire in our car and just yesterday, we showed it at the Tire Center at S&R. They said that it’s a common problem among Dunlop tires.

Just looking at the bump is really scary, we’re really thankful that we got past Edsa when we noticed that the car is wobbling. The staff at the tire center said that the internal structure was damaged, perhaps when we hit a bump in the road. They also advised us to just maintain a pressure of 30, over inflating might also cause this.

Since we had a bad experience on Dunlop tires, we’ll try other tire brands. We need to buy a spare tire, but I suggested to buy a heavy duty one that can withstand the condition of our poor roads here in the Philippines. If only we can use those RZR XP Accessories for our car, but something as sturdy, reliable and dependable like the ones used in ATV will be great.

Be safe on the road everyone!

My friend is thinking of giving to a charitable institution this Christmas. The mommy group in FB that I’m part of is also thinking of giving to one charity too. However, my friend is keen on helping an elderly institution or a nursing home. This will be her first time to help such institution and she asked for help on what to give. Aside from clothes and food, I suggested to include adult diapers too. At first, she was hesitant because they are expensive but I showed the cheap prices of adult diaper at disposablemedicalexpress.com.

She’s still undecided and still open for suggestions, can you help?

Dental Assistant Jobs abroad

Dental assistant jobs are one of the sought after jobs overseas. Countries like US, Canada and Saudi Arabia always have listings for this kind of job. It’s another option for students who want to take up medical courses especially nursing, since nursing graduates are large in volume but their demand for work is decreasing.

One way of determining which jobs are on demand abroad, just go to WorkAbroad.ph to have an idea what those jobs are. These days, being practical on what to take up in college is very important because of high unemployment rate. And yes, it’s not only Nursing that will take you to greener pastures, there’s Physical Therapy, Medicine, Dentistry, Dental Technicians and also Engineering.

Infographic: On airport security

Back in the days, my only fear on air travel is if I can land safely to my destination and no aircraft trouble will occur during the flight. These days, my added fear on air travel is because of terrorist attacks. Terrorism is everywhere and may strike anytime at any country, even in the third world country like the Philippines.
TSA or Transportation Security Administration has made efforts to tighten airport security. But if you’re an airline passenger, what will you choose, Enhanced Pat-down or full-body scanners? Take a look at the infographic below:
