Communicate with the Technician

Planning to bring your car to an auto repair shop? Well, they said that every time you bring your car into a repair shop, make sure that you communicate with the technician. Why? Because the technician can easily identify or diagnose the real issue if you tell him the problem in detailed. Misunderstanding often occur due to poor communication between the customer and the shop.
The technician should do the same thing too and you have to ask what exactly the problem is and what specifically causing the trouble. This will help you to understand the issue much clearly and this will also prevent you from bring so shocked about the repair fee that they will be charging on you. (believe me it happens every time hahaha)
You have to know if the shop is charging you inappropriately or not. If it is, then better not bring your car there next time but if it's not and if you proven that they serve honestly and competently, then start establishing a long term relationship with them as if every time there's an issue, you bring it them.
We as a driver should now the real issue behind the trouble. Its easy to become intimidated when communicating with a car repair shop and you're hearing a lot of words and concepts you don't understand. If you are having a hard time understanding the issue then Ask and let them explain every details.
If you're looking for an honest and competent shop, then ICR is just right for you. They are located in Oregon and known for providing the best Auto Body Repair Portland service. Visit them at http://icrautobody.com/ and see what else they have to offer.

House Reflects Owner's Personality

A house is a reflection of the owner's personality. If you're clean and you're organized and if you keep your house regularly maintained, then you might received a lot of compliments from your friends which is definitely a good thing.
Our kitchen specifically, even though most guess failed to reach this area of your house, is a great way to measure someone's orderliness. Kitchen is probably one of the dirtiest part of your house since you do all the stuffs here. You prepared foods, you cook, you wash, and all that stuffs which are all prone to germs and bacteria. That's why as much as possible we have to clean it everyday. After all, it's for your benefit too.
Germs are more dominant into wet or moist surfaces which could probably your kitchen countertops most especially if you're using tiles because germs can be trapped at every single corner of it especially if the grout was not properly placed. That makes so hard to be cleaned. Oh well, maybe you could choose a much better material. Something that can be cleaned with no ease like granite maybe. It is known for being the best material for both countertops and floors. Well, they're glossy and they look so great and they are very easy to clean as long as you have the right cleaner for it.
But then, that's your choice, it's your kitchen, just be responsible to it and always keep it clean.

What a Busy Man am I

Sigh, what a stressing week that was. I've been very busy these past few weeks and there's just plenty of things that i have to prioritized. My work , my school , my blogs and my obligations to my family, gosh, i just can't handle them all and sometimes, i feel like i want to give up but i try to motivate myself to keep me going.
I'm working as an office staff right now and also as a freelance online writer; I have to attend a course in a technical training school every Saturday and Sunday and i have to tutor my brother and nieces everyday after school. Well, this might be the reason why I'm still single LOL.
My work and my school almost killed all my personal leisure. I remember those days when I still have ample of time to play Basketball with my friends. I used to hang out with them before and I wish i could bring those moments back.
If ever given a chance, i would like to grab that once in a lifetime opportunity to play golf. I'm really intrigued about this sport especially when i saw those Golf Courses Portland online. It makes me so eager to try it but never had enough time to do it. Actually, i find it quite complicated compare to other mental games like chess because there's just too many equipments needed to play this game. There are different kinds of golf clubs used for different kind of golf courses.
It's complicated indeed but I'm sure i can get used to it once i tried it. Have you tried playing golf? How was it? Don't forget to leave your comment here and share us your golf experience.

Training Courses

Last 2007, i decided to take a technical training course since i can add that experience in my portfolio and i can also apply what i've learned there in real life situations. Oh well, the school have so many courses to offer and I chose the Computer Technician course simply because it is quite in demand and also to learn basic troubleshooting ideas that i can use if ever i encounter some hardware issues with my PC. Other courses were Automotive , Computer Science, computer secretarial and Electronics.
Electronics is a very interesting course though i can't take two courses at the same time so i prioritized the computer technician course first but when the time i finished the course, i already got a job so i failed to take the Electronics. I wasted such a great opportunity. I know i will learn a lot from that course and i can apply those knowledge if ever i encounter any home wiring problems in our house.
Well, it's not too late for me and besides I'm just 22 years old now so i still have a lot of time.
Being an Electrician is such a very interesting profession don't you think?
Anyway, since i don't know anything about electrical troubleshooting YET, we let the experts fix those home wiring problems. We have a family electrician and we used to contact him in case we need his service.
Don't have a family Electrician yet? Well, if you're in Oregon and looking for a Portland Electrician, Oakley Electric company has the best men to provide you the best service.

Moody Day

I'm really not in the good mood yesterday. Look, i am trying my best to be productive on both house and work but it seems that all my efforts are not working effectively at all. Oh not to mention the stress brought to me by this silly weather. I was planning to go out with friends yesterday, hoping that it could help me to, somehow, forget my problems but here goes the stupid weather, leaving us no choice but to postponed our plan. Isn't just great!!! >.<
Oh here's one more thing, We found out that the water is leaking from the roof in our kitchen. There were some unwanted stain on the ceiling and I suspect that it's all because of the roof leak. How i wish there's someone in our house knows how to fix this thing. Well, i don't mind climbing the roof but I just don't know where to start and how to trace those leaks. As you all know, half of my dad's body were paralyzed after he got stroke last 2001, and so being the eldest, i know i am the one responsible for this but i just can't take the risk because i'm really not good when it comes to this household thing.
Well, we can hire someone from the neighborhood but i don't think it's a good idea as well. How if they will just make the condition much worst knowing that they do not have enough skills and experience in such matter. Perhaps, we can hire professional Roofers to fix the roof. At least we know that they can fix the job satisfactorily. I might consider replacing the roof as well. These galvanized iron roofs were already there since we transferred to this house so i guess it's just right for them to be replaced.
Well, i don't know what kind of mood will I have today. Sounds weird but my mood changes everyday. I just wish no one will ruin my day today or else ..... haha
Well maybe my mind is just like the weather after all ~ full of attitude.

Hitting Public Bathrooms

Did i mentioned to you guys that i never go to any public bathroom? Yeah, i know it sounds weird but it's true. But of course i have my reason for it and it's all because of my horrible experiences with public bathrooms most especially when i hit one of the public bathrooms in our province in Ilocos. Oh God, i just can't take it. How i wish i can show you the pictures but i lost them all after reformatting my pc but let me describe you how horrible it was.
Well, I know it's a public CR and everyone is free to use the facility but it doesn't mean that the place don't need a regular maintenance. The bathroom is located near the wet market so once you step inside, you'll see how muddy the floor is. You can see those dark spots in their tiled walls and some molds growing on each corner. Disgusting right? Well here's more.
The bowl is like nightmare if you asked me. It was clogged and the flush is not working. And since the flush is not working, i have to pour water to submerge the waste (that's the only way you can do to get rid of the clogged toilet). And the smell, oh God, it's more like you'll be gasping for breath. There might be something wrong with their plumbing system and maybe we can submit a complain to the owner or caretaker of that place. They should fix this issue and hire a professional Plumbing service to get rid of the clogged toilet and the unwanted smell.
They really need to fix it before making the condition worst.
So there you go, that's the reason why i never hit any public bathroom. Yikes.
