I didn’t know until later that I could actually buy this Garmin Nuvi 255 unit for half the price I got it for.  I bought this last May 2010 at Infomax for almost twelve grand.

But since I only found that out recently, I guess I have those few couple of months without road hassle to thank Gary for. That’s my Garmin’s name. I figured, while the device talks, why not give him a name, right? For someone who sucks at directions like myself, this device is as important as a car insurance is to any motorist.

Today is the last day I’m driving on a Wednesday. That is until they come up with another traffic scheme that will get me driving whatever day of the week. Lady Rouge’s plate was finally released and the last number on her spells Wednesday as my no drive day.

I covered three events today and it looks like this is going to be the last Wednesday I’ll be on the road. At least I’m not gonna have to think about her registration, at least for the next three years. Although I’d have to look into cheapestautoinsurance.net next year or maybe just stick with what I have now for convenience. Whatever. I’m just really hoping that the really interesting succeeding events will not fall on a Wednesday.

When setting up a swimming pool, there are many different supplies and materials needed to keep your pool safe, clean, and comfortable for everyone. A few of these include filters, cleaning pumps and systems, and pool liners.

What is a pool liner?

Pool liners, quite simply, are liners that are used to protect the sides and bottom of your swimming pool. They are typically made from a strong vinyl that is also comfortable for the people who will be swimming around and standing on it. With a pool liner in place, you can prevent mold and cracks. They also come in different patterns, so they have aesthetic appeal as well.

How are pool liners installed?

The process involves using a special waterproof adhesive to attach the pool liner to the sides and bottoms of the pool. This is usually included in the price of installation. Above ground pools typically have liners already installed.

How long do they last?

A pool liner is made from resilient material, so it is designed to last for years. Occasionally, a liner may get a rip or tear, but that doesn’t mean that you need to have the entire liner replaced. You can fix minor damage with repair kits. If you find that you do need a new liner at some point, it will need to be replaced by a professional.

How do I take care of my pool liner?

Your pool should have an automatic cleaner that will clean the liner for you, saving you the trouble. This will remove algae, sediment, and any other type of buildup along the sides and bottom of the pool. To clean a liner yourself, the water would have to be drained completely, and the liner would have to be scrubbed out with special cleansers.

Pool liners are essential for keeping your pool looking great.

My new toy Lady Rouge just turned a month old. Break in – check. First car maintenance for the first 1,000km. – check. I am loving it so far. I don’t think there’ll be a car that would better fit my need. It has the back up sensors and indicator that I need. I did have to buy a Garmin GPS though, just to make sure I don’t get lost in the streets.

What’s more lovely is that I don’t need to look into auto insurance quotes. Because this pretty lady has that, complete with AOG, which I cannot do without. Especially with what happened to us during the devastating typhoon Ondoy.

Here are the specifications of Lady Rouge, a Great Wall Peri:

1.3L In-Line 4 cylinder
4 stroke DOHC 16V Gasoline
5 speed M/T
Euro IV
ABS + EBD
Dual Airbag
Electronic Engine Anti-theft System
Keyless Entry
Roof Rail
Rear Spoiler
14” Alloy Mags

The ultimate culprit to people getting sick nowadays is the unforgiving heat. As much as I would rather have our electric bill to stay to a minimum, it’s going to bring us more harm than good if we don’t have the airconditioner on for more hours a day than usual.

And as if that was not enough, it drove us to get a split type airconditioner installed in our living room where my office nook is. Apparently the stand fan and the ceiling fan both on max is not enough to make our place comfortable and conducive enough for work. The sauna feel despite the fans on max has made me sick. With the month of May soon coming to a close, there is not a bit of indication that we will have a cooler weather anytime soon. I’ve read somewhere that La Nina will follow the drought we have these days by July. Which concerns me somehow. The Ondoy flooding that happened to us last September 26, 2009 was one unforgettable disaster that we are all praying we do not have to face ever again.

Even a kikay blogger has to take care of the more serious stuff. Like premiums for insurances, for example. I have always believed that it is one of the most prudent things to prepare for in life. Not just for your own sake, but for the benefit of your loved ones, as well.

This especially concerns me because I have a son to think of. There are life insurance quotes we can always choose from and the best thing about this is that companies have made sure that their plans are very competitive. Which is actually to the consumers advantage.

The hubby and I were interviewed by Rowena Wendy Lei last December for Good Housekeeping March 2010. And I was finally able to get copies yesterday! Yey! It is our first time to be featured and allow us to just relish the moment! The hubby and I basically talked about how we ventured into monetizing blogs and shared some bits and pieces how we make money online.

The article is pretty lengthy. Here’s just to give you a peek..
