Always add acid to water
When I was in college our student guidance officers always give us training and seminars to equip us not only with academic information but also with things that are useful at home. One of these informative training is about using acid when cleaning bathrooms. According to the facilitator, when using acid always remember the 3 A’s which stands for Always Add Acid to water. The explanation was when you add acid to water it does not release too much heat therefore there is not much reaction. However if you add water to acid, the solution will give off too much heat that it can actually boil and sometimes causes accidents. So when your cleaning bathrooms or sink and you are diluting acid, make sure to remember the 3 A’s: Always Add Acid to water.

I went home late today because I had to finish an important assignment at work. I got out of the office at around 4 pm. I was supposed to be excited because its payday. However, I was not really as excited as I imagined. I got off from a jeepney near a school. There were a lot of students on the sidewalk so I had to struggle myself through. When I reached the mall, I remembered I had to buy vitamins and stuff for the house and I also realized I don’t have much in my pocket. So I needed to drop by an ATM. Well, what do you expect on a payday? Of course, nothing could get even worst! There was a long line of people waiting for their turn. It took me almost an hour to finally withdraw enough for what I needed. Then I bought Vitamin E. Then went straight to the grocery. Then I had to fall in line again! I got so tired already so I decided I’ll take a cab going home. And guess what! Another line… (sigh) Well at first, it was okay but after all the vacant taxicabs had gone, I started to get impatient. So, I looked for ways of finding it myself but I was hopeless. It’s almost 6PM already. Everyone’s heading home. I took courage of looking for a jeepney and thank GOD I finally got on one! My fate of getting stuck this afternoon did not stop there. I had to patiently wait until we passed through that red traffic light. It was a relief! I was still thankful, I got home safe and sound.
I woke up early today to update 
Today is a wonderful day for me! I have gained and learned a lot! While I was editing my site yesterday, I was having a hard time making my site look as cool as other bloggers’ sites. It was not easy to move around pieces on the page especially when you don’t read instructions. Hahaha! With the help of Michelle, I get to understand what “widgets” are and how to use them and take advantage of them to organize my site. I am so thankful she is always ready to share and teach me some of her tricks. Most important lesson for me today is to practice reading instructions, do trial-and-error until I get what I want so that someday when newbies join the blog network, I will be able to also lend a helping hand.
“It’s the seven year itch!” is the line I sometimes hear from my friend at work when I start sharing her my so-called frustrations as a woman who longs for attention from her husband. According to about.com, it is “that supposed urge for infidelity after seven years of marriage”. Well, based on my short experience I have my own definition of that term. For me, it is the disagreement between couples (not really infidelity thing) because the need of the other wasn’t met which explodes to sometimes a very big argument and sometimes insensitive responses towards each other. I just got married last December of 2008 after how many years of dating and getting-to-know each other. We have been together for a few months now as couples and yet we already discovered a lot of things that are not common between us which is exactly the opposite when we were just starting our relationship, when we always look for things we have in common. It’s just ironic that people spend and waste a lot of time just to be with someone and when they finally settle down, they fight. Well, this is life! This is what I am in right now. No matter what, I am ready to face it. I know that I will hurt him and he will hurt me, but I also know deep inside my heart that I will always forgive him and will never grow tired of loving him. That is for sure!
