My friend asked me what to give on her boyfriend’s birthday. They have being together for around 8 years. She is already out of idea what gift to buy for him. Clothes, watches, belts, ties, accessories, shoes, as well as under wears. All I suggested she has already brought at least once to her boyfriend on different occasions.

I am not sure whether he love Nascar jacket or not. Some gifts fit to his hobby will be great as well. Isn’t it?

Of course it is the best every one can go to financial institutions to get housing loans, vehicle loans or personal loans. But it is the true that some people will not pass the stringent criteria imposed by the financial institutions.

If you choose to borrow from those company which is not in the list, be prepared to take the being cheated risk. Good luck!

I appreciated my hubby is a good helper especially in housekeeping. I know not every man willing to help their wife to do the housekeeping. I am happy my hubby is the one will help me to do some ‘higher level’ housekeeping.

Hubby helps me to clean ceiling fans and wall. He helps me to mop. He even helps me to wash clothes or any other housekeeping upon my request. I called this ‘high level’ housekeeping because I need to take good care of my back. I always need his helping hand when I back pain comes back. The best is, he done the great job! 

Do you have the same thinking as well? Perhaps you will find it special.

I like green environment and nature. Moss is one that helps to create green and peace atmosphere. Of course, I am not happy if the moss grown at some places which make the place looks dirty. But if you can manage it well, moss is your beautiful green carpet at your yard or garden.

Here is the idea I stolen learned from people’s website on how to promote moss:

And in case you want to try promoting your own moss in your yard, here’s a simple recipe we’ve been keeping in our bookmarks that will promote moss growth on stone, brick and the like:

Mix up a batch of 12 oz. beer, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and a couple of clumps of moss. Paint this mixture thickly on any damp shady surface you’d like to be moss covered and the moss will slowly grow and spread.

No gift on my birthday or Valentine’s Day. I still feel acceptable as I know I will have no surprise to get one. But when I asked for it, why he got no intention to take action at all?

I am not asking for loose diamonds or anything expensive. Just a little present or a souvenir from his trip it will be enough. This is just a small request, but why I still not receive even one?  *sob*

I like this video. Who is the intelligent creating such a wonderful idea? If you are operated a fashion house or you need to fold plenty of clothes, you can consider to this method. But for me, this is a bit hassle at the first step. The making of folding board makes me think twice.

This tip looks more faster. Some claims that they can did it in 2 second. I think you need to keep on practice before you manage to do it in just 2 second for a shirt. Anywhere, it is a brilliant idea to save time on folding shirts.

Here is the video link for English version. This is the best explanation and presentation that I manage to found:

Enjoy the videos and make it one of your talents!

I do agree advertisement is one of the promotion tools to increase the visible and gain attention from public or the business targeted customers. Insurance company’s advertisements are acceptable for me but if an individual insurance agent put on advertisement, I will think this is a bit odd.

The messages from insurance advertising are clear. It is to create awareness to public to be under protection and coverage. But I will never simply ask for a stranger to help me on this matter even though he or she is an authorized insurance agent.

The Adults are Missing will have their 4th repeat on this coming weekend. The entrance fees are RM25.00 for adults and RM20 for Children which are pricey for me. If you are interested, you may hop over to teatheatre.com for more details and ticket booking.

I had been told to be extra careful using knife since young. But I clearly remember when the time I hurt myself during the art class when I was in primary school standard 3. This bad experience leads me to more worries to use knife thereafter. No matter how careful I am, I still can not forget this bad experience. This is the reason why I prefer scissors then knives.

I am happy when I found this handy box cutter. I love the safety and handy of the design. Do you think I can escape from my nightmare of using knife after I brought this handy knife?

This is an email I received so long ago but it still in my mailbox today. Because of the Chile earthquake, I dig it out to share with everyone. I really no idea when is the below article created but I believe the useful tips given make senses to help. I believe this useful information is worth to share with every one. I did forward it to all of my friends and relatives. Perhaps you can take some times to read through and spread it as well.

Remember that stuff about hiding under a table or standing in a doorway? Well, this guy has a completely reverse opinion.This is very interesting, different from what we were all taught.

Is this ever an eye opener. Directly opposite of what we’ve been taught over the years! I can remember in school being told to, ‘duck and cover’ or stand in a doorway during an earthquake. This guy’s findings is absolutely amazing.

I hope we all remember his survival method if we are ever in an earthquake!!!

Please read this and pass the info along to your family members; it could save their lives someday!

EXTRACT FROM DOUG COPP’S ARTICLE ON THE: ‘TRIANGLE OF LIFE’

My name is Doug Copp. I am the Rescue Chief and Disaster Manager of the American Rescue Team International (ARTI), the world’s most experienced rescue team. The information in this article will save lives in an earthquake.

I have crawled inside 875 collapsed buildings, worked with rescue teams from 60 countries, founded rescue teams in several countries, and I am a member of many rescue teams from many countries.

I was the United Nations expert in Disaster Mitigation for two years. I have worked at every major disaster in the world since 1985, except for simultaneous disasters.

The first building I ever crawled inside of was a school in Mexico City during the 1985 earthquake. Every child was under its desk. Every child was crushed to the thickness of their bones. They could have survived by lying down next to their desks in the aisles. It was obscene, unnecessary and I wondered why the children were not in the aisles. I didn’t at the time know that the children were told to hide under something.

Simply stated, when buildings collapse, the weight of the ceilings falling upon the objects or furniture inside crushes these objects, leaving a space or void next to them. This space is what I call the ‘triangle of life’. The larger the object, the stronger, the less it will compact. The less the object compacts, the larger the void, the greater the probability that the person who is using this void for safety will not be injured. The next time you watch collapsed buildings, on television, count the ‘triangles’ you see formed. They are everywhere. It is the most common shape, you will see, in a collapsed building.

TIPS FOR EARTHQUAKE SAFETY

1) Most everyone who simply ‘ducks and covers’ WHEN BUILDINGS COLLAPSE are crushed to death. People who get under objects, like desks or cars, are crushed.

2) Cats, dogs and babies often naturally curl up in the fetal position. You should too in an earthquake. It is a natural safety/survival instinct. You can survive in a smaller void. Get next to an object, next to a sofa, next to a large bulky object that will compress slightly but leave a void next to it.

3) Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to be in during an earthquake. Wood is flexible and moves with the force of the earthquake. If the wooden building does collapse, large survival voids are created. Also, the wooden building has less concentrated, crushing weight. Brick buildings will break into individual bricks. Bricks will cause many injuries but less squashed bodies than concrete slabs.

4) If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake occurs, simply roll off the bed. A safe void will exist around the bed. Hotels can achieve a much greater survival rate in earthquakes, simply by posting a sign on The back of the door of every room telling occupants to lie down on the floor, next to the bottom of the bed during an earthquake.

5) If an earthquake happens and you cannot easily escape by getting out the door or window, then lie down and curl up in the fetal position next to a sofa, or large chair.

6) Most everyone who gets under a doorway when buildings collapse is killed. How? If you stand under a doorway and the doorjamb falls forward or
backward you will be crushed by the ceiling above. If the door jam falls sideways you will be cut in half by the doorway. In either case, you will be killed!

7) Never go to the stairs. The stairs have a different ‘moment of frequency’ (they swing separately from the main part of the building). The stairs and remainder of the building continuously bump into each other until structural failure of the stairs takes place. The people who get on stairs before they fail are chopped up by the stair treads – horribly mutilated. Even if the building doesn’t collapse, stay away from the stairs. The stairs are a likely part of the building to be damaged. Even if the stairs are not collapsed by the earthquake, they may collapse later when overloaded by fleeing people. They should always be checked for safety, even when the rest of the building is not damaged.

Get Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings Or Outside Of Them If Possible – It is much better to be near the outside of the building rather than the interior. The farther inside you are from the outside perimeter of the building the greater the probability that your escape route will be blocked.

9) People inside of their vehicles are crushed when the road above falls in an earthquake and crushes their vehicles; which is exactly what happened with the slabs between the decks of the Nimitz Freeway. The victims of the San Francisco earthquake all stayed inside of their vehicles. They were all killed. They could have easily survived by getting out and sitting or lying next to their vehicles. Everyone killed would have survived if they had been able to get out of their cars and sit or lie next to them. All the crushed cars had voids 3 feet high next to them, except for the cars that had columns fall directly across them.

10) I discovered, while crawling inside of collapsed newspaper offices and other offices with a lot of paper, that paper does not compact. Large voids are found surrounding stacks of paper.

Spread the word and save someone’s life… The Entire world is experiencing natural calamities so be prepared!

‘We are but angels with one wing, it takes two to fly’

In 1996 we made a film, which proved my survival methodology to be correct. The Turkish Federal Government, City of Istanbul , University of Istanbul Case Productions and ARTI cooperated to film this practical, scientific test. We collapsed a school and a home with 20 mannequins inside.

Ten mannequins did ‘duck and cover,’ and ten mannequins I used in my ‘triangle of life’ survival method. After the simulated earthquake collapse we
crawled through the rubble and entered the building to film and document the results. The film, in which I practiced my survival techniques under
directly observable, scientific conditions , relevant to building collapse, showed there would have been zero percent survival for those doing duck
and cover.

There would likely have been 100 percent survivability for people using my method of the ‘triangle of life.’ This film has been seen by millions of viewers on television in Turkey and the rest of Europe , and it was seen in the USA , Canada and Latin America on the TV program Real TV.
