Convenient and Effective Supplies

Posted by Bobby on June 30th, 2010

This might sound ironic but in our company we don’t have our own canteen. During lunch time, some would eat at the fast food chains, some would bring their own food from home and most of us orders food from Annie.

Annie has a catering service. She delivers food in the office. She’s a good cook, her food is healthy and she prepares them in a clean area.  The other day, we had the chance to visit here mini restaurant where she prepares the food that she delivers to us. We noticed the industrial supplies that she has in her cooking area. The maps, brooms and brushes were hidden in its proper place and it’s clean. She is also very strict when it comes to skin care and personal hygiene of her employees. She makes sure that they wash their hands properly every now and then.

When we went inside her office, bond papers, pens and any other office supplies were scattered everywhere. She uses them for labeling the food container for easy delivery.  It’s very helpful and convenient even for a small catering business like Ate Annie has having these supplies at hand.

Hardwood for Good

Posted by Bobby on June 25th, 2010

I wanted my bedroom to have new floors, so I decided to go hardwood. My friends told me that this was not an easy job to do, so I needed to contact professionals to do this for me. One of my friends just called a company that only asks for cheap payment, so she went with that. Unfortunately, she wasn’t happy or even satisfied with the work. The company used only cheap wood and poor materials to put the floor so it ended up looking fake and messy. I didn’t want this to happen to me.

So I was on the hunt to find the perfect flooring Raleigh company so I searched the internet. Good thing I found this website that offers so many services not just flooring. They are also a remodeling company that can do roofing, paint jobs, carpeting and so much more. I have seen that they have been at it for quite awhile, so I was secured with the fact that I wasn’t going to be part of a fraud. I got their number pronto, and made the call to have my hardwood floor done.

In no time, I was seeing such an elegant looking floor on my bedroom. My room looked warmer and cozier because of it. The company didn’t ask for a high price, but their work was indeed top quality! I would definitely consider having them fix my other floors. Thumbs up to this group!

A Birthday Present

Posted by Bobby on June 22nd, 2010

My brother would be celebrating his 45th birthday next month.  He was the eldest in the family.  Almost his entire life was dedicated in helping our parents and his siblings.  When he married life was not easy for him too.  Since he had 7 kids, his wife decided to stay in the house and be a full time mother and wife.  However, I noticed that even with their current situation, they were not affected by it.  My brother had a 1981 Ford Granada that was so useful until it broke down one day.  The mechanic who looked at it told him about a screw in the clutch being broken.  My brother had not enough money to have the car done.

We decided to surprise him. My other siblings and I called the transmission repair Clearwater.  We wanted the car done the following week.  They towed the car to their shop.  They also offered clutch repair service.  It was my first time to visit their shop and I was so amazed by their clients.  The place was almost full of different make or models of car.  They had been very patient in repairing my brother’s car even how old it was. 

My brother was teary-eyed when he saw his old car waiting outside for in the yard.  It was the best gift he received according to him.

Taking the Stress out of Moving

Posted by Bobby on June 21st, 2010

Moving to another place can be stressful.  For one, you would have to pack every single item in your house that you would want to bring with you. Of course, you don’t just pack them haphazardly into boxes lest you want them all to be damaged by the time they reach their destination.   Another thing to think about is to check for local moving companies that can be relied on to move your stuff.

I am actually feeling the stress now because I would soon be moving to another place and I have yet to start packing my stuff.  Good thing I was able to find a Raleigh moving service that would help me pack the big stuff like my couch, bed and refrigerator.  I was glad to have found them for I have no idea on what to do with my stuff.  Their rates are affordable too so I won’t have to shell out a huge amount of money just to have my things moved to my new place.  I have already set a date when they will be coming over to help me pack my stuff and have them shipped out of here to my new city.

Art of Letting Go

Posted by Bobby on June 17th, 2010

Life is so unpredictable and there are times when it gets rough. I never thought that I would sell diamonds just to be able to cope with it. It is hard of course, because those were special. My boyfriend gave them to me before he left and went to Hong Kong.  We have lost all communications, after two months since he left. A year has passed and he still hadn’t contacted me in any means possible, through mail, text messages or even phone calls. I guess it means that the dream is over and it’s time to move on with my life.

A friend told me about this website that buys gold, diamonds and other valuable stones. I decided to sell engagement ring, it has a lot of memories in it, which makes it harder. But, I have to let it go. After a few days I received a check and was surprised at the amount that is written on it. I didn’t know that my engagement ring costs that much. It was totally unexpected. With the money in hand, I plan to open a small business that will help me take my mind off things. I would still think of him from time to time, but being busy would definitely help me forget.

ADD my butt

Posted by Bobby on June 8th, 2010

I had a friend who was so insecure with his ADD. I told him that he shouldn’t feel that way for it was actually normal. It was true that it was funny sometimes that he kept on changing the subject but I didn’t really care. It was enough that he had ADD but if you mix it with his lack of confidence then he will really have down moments often.

I tried to think of a way for him to just loosen up. He needed to just laugh the problem away. So I purchased this really funny t shirt from a t shirts website that says “They tell me that I have ADD. They just don’t underst… Hey look a chicken!” It was incredibly funny and I knew that my friend would appreciate the gift a lot. He loved a good joke every now and then.

So I gave him the gift and just as I expected, he loved it so much. He wears it almost 3 times a week. He even washes them the night after he used it. So I told him to just visit the funny t shirts site for there were so many designs to choose from, you would actually need two days to pick your favorite. He visited the site and after that got about 5 shirts that he loved. Those shirts were his confidence boosters. Thanks to the shirts, his insecurity has been long gone!

A Tool for the Right Job

Posted by Bobby on June 7th, 2010

I’ve been thinking of getting an HP Disk Storage for our faculty room. Arranging files are too much of a hassle. It takes a lot of work and if by chance there is a missing file, all hell breaks loose. With that in mind, I looked for a Used HP Disk Storage device that I could buy for a reasonable price.

A friend helped me find the place, I was greeted properly and was shown several options that I can choose from. I bought it right away and asked my co-workers how to use it. At first they were skeptical, but in time they got used to it. They were so engrossed into what they were working on, that the talk was minimal and work was fast.

Since that day we never had any problems in organizing our files. They were amazed that I came up with the idea. They say it’s very convenient and easy to use. With files being updated by their rightful owners and everyone has easy access to the files they needed, our workplace became a smooth working environment. No more yelling, no more stressful days. I’m glad that I had the right tool, for the right job.

Little Value - No

Posted by Bobby on June 3rd, 2010

Do you have 8 karat and 10 karat gold jewelry that you thought didn’t have any value at all? Do not toss it away; that is money! You can sell gold jewelry even if it is of a low gold content because this gold and diamond jewelry store is eager to take it off your hands if you don’t want it anymore. It can even be dented and old - it’s ok. As long as it is gold, it is good as cash.

I really like this website I found recently. It offers such a unique service and the pay-off is great. While other store you sell wedding ring to or any type of gold jewelry will give $100, this company will offer you $300. That is true and I have proven it myself. I sold my old ring to them and I got 3 times of how much I originally bought it for. Big money!

I had to sell my ring because of my sister. She was going off to college and I wanted to give her one semester worth of tuition. No regrets on my pants since money is not and will never be equal to education. I believe that I got the best worth for my ring - and that is giving my sister a privilege to study. But then, I would never have done it without your help. So, thank you!
