Thoughts from Home

Okay, I am back to my old self again – and that is a big procastinator!. I know I have things to do and yet I was stuck at digiscrapping. I am still learning the trade hence it took me long to do a layout. What is taking me long is finding the right paper to use. Hayts! I don’t have that much as I didn’t hoard freebies lately but deciding which to use is sucking me big time! Anyway, I am done. After spending more than an hour on it and is now being uploaded in flickr so I could brag about it immediately. Whatever my layout looks, it’s precious as a gold coin to me because I have exerted effort in it…and I am sure Ace will love it too! Excited to show it to him when he gets home.

I wish I have enough money now to invest on something. We’re thinking of getting a mortgage rice field in my hometown but we would need huge amount for it unless we’ll be getting a small field. Another thing that interests me is investing on precious metals such as gold as the price of gold is going up. So it isn’t a bad idea at all. Gold’s price is appreciating each day so no one would ever go wrong in investing to gold bullions or even on gold coins. For precious metals investment, one can check out a reliable company dealing in that business. It’s a wise choice for sure instead of just letting your money sleep in the bank with a very low interest rate.

1. Use a multiple-outlet adapter

Skip power strips in the kitchen; they squander precious counter space. Wrangle countertop appliance cords with a multiple-outlet adapter, which sits up on the wall and fits three plugs.

Tip: When charging two gadgets at the same time, plug them into the opposite ends of a multiple-outlet adapter. This will accommodate clunky transformer plugs without covering up additional sockets.

2. Solve bulky charger problems with a flexible outlet adapter

Cell phone and camera chargers often have bulky heads that take up extra room on a power strip. Plug them into a flexible outlet adapter, a power strip with multiple loose arms that can more easily hold oversized plugs.

3. Hide excess cordage in a cord organizer

A snarl of long cords sitting on the floor is unsightly (and, if you have a tug-happy toddler, it can be dangerous). Wrap excess cordage around the center of an organizer disc, a rubber spool that pops shut into a tidy little package.

4. Use color-coded cable IDs for easy identification

When using power strips, it’s easy to confuse which plug belongs to which appliance. A simple system: Use sturdy electrical tape in assorted colors or colored cable ID labels to tag the top and bottom of each cord with the same color.

5. Consolidate cords with a cable zipper

Streamline your work space with a cable zipper, a flexible plastic sleeve that’s slit lengthwise so you can gather the wires running from your desk to the floor in it in one neat bundle.

Tip: To determine the length of tube needed for a desktop, measure from the outlet to the farthest component on the desk; for entertainment systems, measure from the outlet up to the top component.
