How To Clean A Rug

Rug or carpet is a nice addition to any home. It adds beauty and style but rugs can be very expensive and hard to maintain. If you own a rug, it is very important that you know the basics of cleaning a rug.

To keep your rug looking good and clean, it is advised to vacuum it twice a month or more frequent if you have kids or a pet that shreds. When you vacuum your carpet, make sure that you vacuum both sides, vacuum the top side first, then the back side and vacuum the top side again.

When there’s a spill or a stain in your rug, make sure to clean it immediately. Don’t let the stains or the spills dried out as it would be harder to remove it. If it is a water spill, use a clean dry cotton cloth and blot the spill carefully. Do not rub the spill as this can damage your carpet. If the spill comes from milk, make sure that you clean it with a mild detergent and water to prevent it from smelling bad.

If your carpet was wet from the flood or if the rug stain or spill was too big, bring it immediately to an expert rug cleaning company.

Oh Hello There Tonsillitis..

and no, I am not so glad you came..

Usual day… which ends in a not so usual illness.. ayayay! Haven’t felt this ill for the longest time.. haays. I was bed ridden for almost a week…

It was two Saturdays ago, I was not feeling well..slept the whole afternoon.. and by midnight, my fever is sky rocketing high (hubby said I almost reached 40 deg).. He stayed up all night caring for me.. sponge bath, checking my temperature and making me feel better. Swerte ko talaga sa asawa ko.. provider na.. nurse pa! Pero hindi naman pwedeng umabsent siya at alagaan ako ng bongga.. kaya to the rescue si mudra!

We went to ER Sunday afternoon and I was diagnosed with Tonsillitis. Inflammation of tonsils which was caused by bacterial or viral infection. I was given three kinds of med. Antibiotics, candy for sore throat pain (hindi ko matandaan ang pangalan!! haha) and paracetamol for my fever. Of course for, I bought Biogesic for paracetamol. Yan lang naman ang trusted brand ko when it comes to paracetamol. Tamang tama din ang Biogesic since I can’t eat with my sore throat, I still can take it even with empty stomach. And with my fever that time, I need to take paracetamol every four hours. Safe na safe ang pakiramdam ko sa Biogesic.

Yan ang pinakamasaklap sa lahat! Hindi ako makakain.. ahuhu buti pa ang ibang sakit, wala kang gana kumain, pero noong may tonsilitis ako, may gana ako! Gusto ko ng pizza, ng burger, ng kahit ano.. pero wala! Hindi ko kayang kumain! Para akong mababaliw sa gutom hahaha

But the best thing about being sick, I have the best nurse in the world, my little princess.. feel na feel ko ang love sa akin ng aming prinsesa. During the time that I was in bed, she’d check on me from time to time. Siya din ang nag sponge bath sa akin pag mataas ang lagnat ko. You can see the concern in her eyes and the way she touched me.. na “touch” therapy ako ng bongga! Ang sarap talaga ng may baby girl.

Another good thing, I lose weight.. makes me want to stay sick kahit hangang 110lbs laaaang hahaha

After 4 days, my throat’s getting better. I took the antibiotics for 3 days and also gargle mouthwash and warm water+salt solution. I think the solution helped a lot. It makes me feel better and helped a lot in treating the inflammation. If you’re feeling the symptoms of tonsilitiss, I suggest you gargle warm water+solution at least 4 times a day. I think I did that almost every two hours. Grabe talaga ang sakit nang lalamunan ko noon, halos hindi ako makatulog.. or minsan makakatulog ako tapos pag nalunok ako, bigla ako magigising sa sakit.. ang saklap talaga!

And now after more than a week, I’m better.. kaya lang we missed Run United last Sunday. I don’ think I can run that day.. mejo hilo hilo pa din at ngarag ang pakiramdam ko.. nest RU, hopefully.

Back to work na ang beauty ko!

Welcome to Fantasy World

The introduction of the X box in 2001 paved the way for a new term in the English vocabulary, ‘Gamers’. This breed appears to revel in a world of superheroes, daring do and all manner of fantastical adventures.

Invention

The range of X box games is vast. Many of the original games were based on Dungeons and Dragons but the games have evolved, as has the sophistication of X Box software. It’s not just gamers who enjoy using this device. The new generation of X Box consoles allow total inter connectivity and has diversified from fantasy games to exercise routines; storylines based on cinema films using the original characters from a particular film as well as exciting car races and games for children.

Games

The image of the lonely geek playing a non stop diet of games in their bedroom is slowly changing as the new generation of Xbox 360 allows the whole family to join in and play any number of adventures. Halo allows the players to shoot everything and anything and is based in the world of sci-fi and space. It’s quite surprising how addictive the games can become; possibly due to the competitive nature of the storylines.

Of course, these first-person-shooters aren’t the only option and for those after something a little different, the new range of motion controlled fitness games are a great option for those who want to get fit and have fun indoors. The ability to connect with other players over the internet has also propelled growth in the industry as online gaming slowly becomes the norm. If a player logs in online he or she can find himself or herself playing against anyone in any part of the world and these global players often enter into mammoth sessions that can last for days. Of course, the winner can then proclaim that they really are ‘King of the World’ – at least digital.

Children

Originally aimed at children, games consoles have evolved to widen their target audience but there is still a variety of games for children. Both Toy Story and Mickey Mouse have entered the gaming arena and children can either spend time playing by themselves or join the rest of the family for collective fun. The games allow the child to actually become their own favourite hero for a short time and as long as they realise this is just a game, an Xbox 360 can provide a lot of entertainment.
