When to Call for Plumbing Assistance

Most home and business owners choose to take advantage of do-it-yourself solutions whenever possible. This can help to save money and can prove to be a worthwhile weekend project. However, the trick to being successful with DIY projects is knowing when it’s time to call in the professionals for dependable plumbing assistance in Jacksonville.

Leaky Pipes

Leaky pipes can often be solved with a quick tightening of a screw. However, if your pipes are in bad shape, or you keep having a repeat problem in the same area, then it is usually advisable to leave the work to a reliable professional.

Plumbing Problems

Certain plumbing problems, such as toilet clogs, can be solved with a number of affordable DIY methods. For instance, there is little that a trusty plunger can’t accomplish in the bathroom. However, when a problem requires extensive equipment or techniques to successfully complete, you can often save a great deal of time, money, and stress by just leaving the work to a skilled plumbing expert in the first place.

Installations and Water Heater Services

Any installation of piping, plumbing fixtures, and major appliances should be left to a professional. This will ensure that your new system can work the way you need and expect it to from the start.

All water heater services should be left to a professional. Whenever you are dealing with the water heater, you increase your risk of scalding yourself with the boiling hot water. You also may end up just making the problem worse than it was in the first place. Choose a qualified, full-service plumber to ensure that they have the skills and experience necessary to work on any type of gas, electric, and tankless hot water heaters.

Request an Estimate

If you ever have an emergency situation, don’t hesitate to call for reliable plumbing assistance in Jacksonville. Most professional plumbing companies will offer a free estimate so that you have the information and recommendations you need at no cost or obligation to you. This will give you an accurate quote on what the necessary services will cost. Be wary of any plumber that offers a quote over the phone without first assessing the damage.

Kayanihan: The First Song Create by the Filipino People

The Kayanihan project was conceptualized when a group of professional communicators marveled at a recent positive development in the country. The project began in February 2013, an advocacy campaign was conceptualized to contribute to the positive momentum. Procter & Gamble (P&G) Philippines was the among the first who sponsored the project. Together with Campaigns and Grey Group, the Kayanihan Project was born. It was a celebration of the positive gains of the country and a call to all Filipinos to continuously work together to hurdle future problems.

Sabi nga, tama na ang kanya-kanya.. Mag KAYANIHAN NA!

The term Kayanihan comes from Bayanihan, a community spirit that Pinoys are known for and Kaya Natin, an attitude that Pinoys all have. To bring the Kayanihan Project to life, Pinoys were invited to co create a new song in the tune of “Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika”. They were invited to contribute lyrics through answering the question: Paano mo masasabing gumaganda na ang buhay mo ngayon? Receiving close to 1,000 lyrics from different parts of the country and around the world, Mr. Ryan Cayabyab, Itchyworms, and Gloc-9 wrote the lyrics into a song and sung by Ms. Regine Velasquez-Alcasid.

After the lyrics were formed, Pinoys, were once again invited to participate in the project by sending their photos singing the Kayanihan Song. And with the photos and video clips, a music video was created. A music video that features Filipinos from all walks of life, singing together one song: The Kayanihan Song

The Kayanihan Project was officially launched last September 20, 2013 at Club Filipino. The launch highlights “Kayanihan” as a non partisan nation building assistance endeavor in partnership with government and other sectors of society.

How To Email Bloggers Mommy Bloggers

CC: around 30+ bloggers (some will reply and you will see their reply because it’s a CC..carbon copy!)

Dear Blogger,
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!
Attached is the press release of our recent event (which you were not invited) and we want you to post it in your blog as soon as possible. Share your posts to social media sites and have at least 5 real people comment on it.
Thank you.
From,
PR Agency

that’s not an actual email.. maybe a bit exaggerated…but yes some PR Agencies would email bloggers with a tone like that. I am not expert into PR thingy and email etiquette so this post is more on how I feel and how I wish PR Agencies would email me. First things first: NOT ALL PR AGENCIES are like that.. I can mention a few agencies that are super duper nice! There are just few that does not even know the difference of BCC and CC.

CC is fine, specially if it is a memo from a company.. but we bloggers are not under one company. So please try using BCC instead.. personally, I would prefer if you won’t BCC me, I would love to read an email specially for me, even if it is a template email.

PERSONAL. It means addressing me to my name.. not to HI BLOGGER.. HEY BLOGGER. I have a name and I think it is in my blog (displayed on my sidebar and also in my contact page).. I heard a lot of bloggers being offended when a certain email does not address them properly. Sa totoo lang po, kahit pinagkakakitaan namin ang pag ba blog eh personal na bagay po ito sa amin. Professional tone may apply to other bloggers but I tell you, when it comes to mommy bloggers, dapat medyo pa close ang tono.

Please take time to know the blogger’s name and address them properly.. minsan mas OK pa na nagkamali ng pag address sa akin (tipong Hello Mommy Levy>> pero para sa akin ung email) kesa ung hello blogger lang.. obviously nag effort.. hindi nga lang enough LOL

Oh my your kid is so adorable! >>> kahit sinong nanay na makabasa nyan, siguradon matutuwa..so what I am telling? Aside from knowing the blogger’s name, take time to read their recent post, kahit ung nasa homepage lang.. kahit pahapyaw lang and mention it on your email. Big deal yan, kase it means you’re reading the blog and doing your assignment. You can try that approach next time you want to ask a favor from a blogger.

Lastly, when you email a blogger asking for a favor, do not demand.. wag ganun.. not unless paid yan, eh demand all you want.

Baka naman isipin nyo, ang suplada kong blogger.. hindi po no. If I am friends with the PR Agency, I post their Press Release without questions.. walang kyeme (basta may oras ako).. at hindi lang sa isang blog ko, sa lahat ng pwede.

So if it is your first time to email me (or other bloggers, specially mommy bloggers) remember this post and see for yourself how the bloggers will react (at parang awa nyo na, wag CC!)

Now, a question for bloggers: How do you react when a PR Agency emails you asking to post something? May idadagdag pa ba kayo sa mga nabanggit ko sa taas? Dali magkwento na sa comment section! 🙂
