Wood Shutters

Historically, homes had shutters for protection from the sun as well as the elements. Most styles of exterior shutters afford homeowners good protection against various weather conditions. Custom wood shutters also protect against winds, snow, and hail. During the summer, close the shutters on the windows where the rising or setting sun shines in. In winter, close the shutters that might be exposed to the north wind, or when a storm is coming.


To cool your home in an environmentally way, consider louvered shutters. Louvered wood shutters have several slats laid across the frames, with small gaps between them. Closing them allows you to air out your home without letting in too much heat or sun.


The windows to your home should reflect your personality and style. Solid wood shutters are available in a wide variety of styles and materials, and will make any home they adorn stand out. Besides lowering the cost of heating and cooling your home, shutters also protect your draperies, furniture, and carpet from sun damage.


Being exposed to the sun can damage curtains and other cloths. Bright colors and dark colors may fade or streak; eventually, even dry rot may set in on draperies. The sun´s rays can also damage leather furniture.

Movie Time

Since i got here in the State, me and my husband always go to see a movie almost every weekend. Last saturday we watched the movie " Bounty Hunter".

Hapless bounty hunter Milo Boyd (Gerard Butler) jumps for joy at the prospect of tracking down his bail-skipping ex-wife, Nicole Hurley (Jennifer Aniston), but gets a hard dose of reality when the job proves tougher than anticipated. Every time Milo gets close to resourceful reporter Nicole, she gives him the slip. A high-profile murder has been committed, and Nicole is determined to stay out of jail long enough to crack the case. And she must be getting close, because now someone is trying to take them both out. They may not have been able to make marriage work, but if Milo and Nicole can just stay alive long enough to solve the murder, they might discover they're not such a bad team after all ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide.

Waterproof

The Philippine climate is characterized by relatively high temperature, high humidity and abundant rainfall. Rainfall distribution throughout the country varies, but the mean annual rainfall of the Philippines ranges from 965 to 4,064 millimeters. The rainy season is usually from June through November. Due to water penetration as a result of storms, monsoon rains, sudden downpours, or even the simple ingress of moisture, there is a big demand for waterproofing products in the Philippines. There are various types of waterproofing products used in Philippines projects – elastomeric, polyurethane, cementitious “crystallization-type”, liquid applied/sheet applied/PVC/torch applied/cold applied membrane, surface applied, and in-between slab systems, capillary, bitumen emulsion, self-adhesive, etc. -- depending on the surface that will be waterproofed and the budget of the end-user.

The Philippine market for waterproofing products is expected to grow 10-20% yearly through 2010. This growth is fueled by the on-going construction boom. The market, however, is very competitive. Locally produced waterproofing products, as well as, products from the U.S. and Asia, Europe and the Middle East are readily available in the Philippines. Best prospects include polyurethane waterproofing and specialty waterproofing products, e.g., jet fuel resistant sealant for airport runways, and products that have other functions aside from waterproofing, e.g., thermal and sound insulation, dust proofing, or anti-corrosion properties. You can check in the Article Alley page online if you want to know something more about the waterproofing and search for more information from them.

Easter Sunday

Last sunday was my first Easter Sunday here in the State with my loving husband and family. We had so much fun though i miss the Philippines and my family back there. We had a family gathering at my in-laws house, played games at the yard as the weather was really great that day! The kids was having fun hunting for easter eggs too. I had so fun playing "new" games and taking pictures.

Something New

I been busy for the past months so i haven't posted anything new in here. Though sometimes i have free time to put updates here but i just don't feel like writing. Well, I been going to a beauty school here in Kentucky for a nail tech course. Yeah! It's for nails.. While i get into this school, i observed the differences of how they practice here in State and in the Philippines for the nail tech study. Here in State, i need to go for about more than a month of study and know everything about nails, their parts, diseases, and how to be safe when doing clients. After your study, you need to take the board state exam to get your license to be a Nail Professional or a Nail Pro. In the Philippines, it won't take that long to study these kind of nail stuff. As long as you know how then you can go on apply in any salon to do nails! Well, I prefer the way here because it's seems the very right way to do. And i feel like i really going to be a Professional! I started to gather and buy some of my manicure and pedicure kits and many other stuff practice. I got some polishes and different kind of brushes online. There are many online website to check like ebay, funbrain, craiglist and more. You can find cheaper and good things out there for you..
