Thoughts from Home

“Freon Low”? That’s what I initially thought when Ace asked me what the FL means that is showing in the digital monitor of our room airconditioner. It must not be the freon because it’s exactly 18 days since we started using it. I grabbed the user’s manual and FL means “filter check warning”. How come it’s FL when it should be FC?hahaha. I wonder if that’s the same thing with furnace filters since both have the same function – to filter the air, only on different occasions or situations. Anyway, let the manufacturers answer that. I peeked through the grille and was shocked to see a thick layer of dust clinging in the air filter. That’s how dusty our room is? I wonder where the dust come from when I don’t usually open the windows since we started using the a/c.

I’ve noticed that since we moved, I could see dust particles in the air when it’s hit by the sun’s rays. Though we dust off almost everyday, we never could get rid of the dust. We’re near the road, but only few vehicles pass by it so I doubt if the dust is really coming from the road. It must be hard for this house to be dust-free because of the screened windows and doors. Hence the dust is contained inside the apartment unless we use a vacuum cleaner to suck all dust particles. How I wish this apartment is not screened so we could easily blow off the dust outside. That made me think of a small vacuum cleaner as a next home stuff project. Lemme see come payday.

What does it take to get you to grab the mic and sing in a karaoke room? I am born singer hence I am only an audience everytime I am with friends or family in a videoke session. Thus, it takes a lot of courage and confidence to grab the mic and sing to my heart’s content.

What does it take to get you to give up a whole Saturday to hang out with people you don’t like? It would take a lot of prodding from the other party. But if the people I don’t like really need me and it’s between life and death, then I would give up the Saturday hang out.

What does it take to get you out of bed without your hitting the snooze button? A lot of willpower to fight the desire to snuggle in bed more and just thinking that the reason for getting up is so important.

What does it take to get you to take someone else’s turn at a really unpleasant task at work or home? When the person wasn’t able to do the task the way I want it to be, then I would rather do the task. That’s me being too choleric.

What does it take to get you to eat something you really dislike? Curiosity, I guess.

Join Friday 5 here.

We don’t know what kind of neighbors we will be having in the next few months when we move (Lord willing) because it’s a new subdivision. We don’t know yet our neighbors so we can’t tell if we immediately need to build a fence or not. To be safe, we might need an alarm system that could be installed at the doorways should we won’t have a fence yet…and wireless alarms could be the best option for this because there’s no hassles installing to cables of the alarm. The wireless alarm systems I’m talking about are available at alarmsystemstore[dot]com so check it out if you are looking for a wireless alarm system.
