Abad Santos Furniture Shops Direction

There was a street in Caloocan City where cheap furniture are being sold. This is known as the Abad Santos furniture shops. Actually, it was not located on Abad Santons Street but the street was known as such because the stretch starts from Abad Santos LRT terminal. So if you want to find cheap furniture, it is just an LRT away from you.

If you are coming from Bulacan, or any part in Northern Manila, all you have to do is travel thorugh Mc Arthur Highway and along the LRT line, when you reached the Abad Santos station, you will see the stretch of furniture shops there.

For some who are coming in the Eastern part or Southern Manila area, EDSA seems to be the best way or you can also take Araneta Avenue.

The number of furniture shops on that street is more than 20. So if you are really looking for cheap furniture, this is the place you should be. Just remember to canvass first before buying your dinning table or your sala set.

Boat Buying: The Intex® Boats

We’re still here on the same house, the house where Ondoy hit us. So this rainy season, I promised myself I will spend some money on boats and life jackets. We never know what might happen this year. Of course, the only boat brand I know is Intex. I thought there is only one type of boat Intex offers, the orange one, The Intex® Explorer. It comes in two sizes, a one person and a two person; some models come as a package with oars and an inflation pump. The Explorer features two air chambers for safety, grab rope on bow, inflatable floor for comfort and rigidity, weilded oar locks, and U.S. Coast Guard I.D. (from www.intexcorp.com)

I learned that Intex offers a lot of kinds of boats depending on the purpose and use. They even offer boats for kayaking. After browsing, my eyes are fixed on The Intex® Club boats. It come in four sizes, ranging from a one person to a four person boat. Some models come as a package with oars and an inflation pump. The Club boats feature two air chambers for saftey, all-around grab line, grab handle on bow (200/300/400 models), inflatable floor for comfort and rigidity, weilded oar locks, and U.S. Coast Guard I.D. (from www.intexcorp.com)

I want to buy the Club 400 which can sit up to 4 people, that’s 2 adults and 2 kids. If my money can do, I will buy two of this kind. Club 400 comes with two oars and pump.


LSAT Preparations

Although home is a good place to study and review, some opt to be in a hotel to study. This usually happens during the major exams a student or a graduate student has to take. Like for example when they need to study their lsat prep courses. LSAT or Law School Admission Test is the test given to students who aspires to be in a law school. This is given to countries such as USA and Canada. Here in our country, I am not quite sure. If there is one law exam that the law school students prepares for, that is the Bar exam. And from what I heard, some students really prefers to review in the hotel or to more relax place than home.

Maybe their home is too homey or it has a lot of distraction. What do you think?

Please Not Again

One night while I was busy looking for supplements for me (for my calcium needs) at www.besthghsupplements.org, it rained so hard. It brings me back to September last year. It was Friday night and it was raining all night. Saturday morning and the rain kept pouring. Around 1 PM that day, the water starts to raise and by 5 PM that day, our 1st floor is already submerged in flood water. It was the most traumatic experience I had. And now, it’s haunting me.

And to think we are almost done on our way to 100% recovery (financially and emotionally). Then it’s rainy season again. I really hope that we won’t be hit by another flood. The house was a wreck last September. And I don’t think I can afford to buy another set of furniture and appliance if flood water hit us again.
